Beer Shower For German Chancellor
I would never survive as a waiter. I've seen the things that people say and to them when their service isn't up to someone's standards. But more than the harassment you take from customers, there is one little fault that I have that would interfere with serving people. I'm a "spiller", which would make any job as a waiter dangerous. Serving an event with dignitaries would be a recipe for disaster. I know I'm not alone in this fear, and I can totally sympathize with Martin, a waiter in Germany, who spilled beer on the Chancellor of Germany.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel was sitting down at an event to share a meal. Martin wasn't supposed to be waiting on the Chancellor, but he was helping a waitress who was too nervous about making a mistake with the dignitaries. Martin approached her with a tray containing seven glasses of beer.
While leaning over to serve a glass of beer, the tray slipped and the remaining six glasses of beer poured down the back of her outfit. "I was shoved from behind, and tried to catch the beers, but it was too late," he said.
The Chancellor reacted with brief shock, but maintained her composure. She wore the jacket, soaked in beer, during her speech. See the waiter and all the fun below.

A kettle heats water because of an electric current passing through the kettle element. The designer must design it to boil water as quickly as possible. A big current and voltage means more energy gets into the water faster. In the UK, a kettle can draw no more than 13 A with a rated mains supply voltage of 230 V. The designer uses an ammeter to check her kettle current, and a voltmeter to check the voltage.
Task 1: Measuring voltage
Model 1
- Open the Yenka Model 1.
- Add a voltmeter to the simulation from the Lab Equipment > Measurement folder.
- Drag a wire from each end of the meter. Place one wire at A and one at B.
- Read the voltage and make a note of it. If the reading is negative, you have connected it the wrong way round. Either turn the voltmeter round, or cross the connecting wires over.
- Draw a circuit diagram for a circuit to measure the voltage across L2. Use circuit symbols.
- How many extra wires do you need to bring to the circuit?
- Do you need to break into the circuit to use a voltmeter?
- How could a poorly designed voltmeter affect the current in the circuit?
AnswerLow resistance pathway would allow current to by-pass bulb.
A voltmeter must be connected in parallel with a component - we often describe it as 'connecting across' the component. It should have as high a resistance as possible to stop it affecting the circuit.
Task 2: Measuring current
- Keep Yenka Model 1 open.
- Disconnect the wire between B and C.
- Place an ammeter in the gap between B and C. Connect its terminals to B and C with new wires.
- If the reading on the ammeter is negative, you have connected it the wrong way round. Either turn the ammeter round, or cross the connecting wires over.
- Draw the circuit diagram for the circuit you have just made. Use circuit symbols.
- Do you have to break into the circuit to make it work?
- How many extra wires do you need to bring to the circuit?
- How could a badly designed ammeter affect the current in the circuit?
AnswerHigh resistance reduces current in circuit.
An ammeter must be connected in series with other components in a circuit. This means you add an ammeter in much the same way that you add a new daisy into a closed daisy chain. An ammeter should have as low a resistance as possible to stop it affecting the circuit.
Teacher Summary
- This activity is complemented by the activity Using Ammeters and Voltmeters, which gives practice measuring the voltage and current in some simple circuits.

BROOKSVILLE — For Alyce Walker, any help to improve conditions at the Spring Hill Cemetery is appreciated.
The longtime caretaker considers it a godsend that members of a local motorcycle group have offered to bring muscle and equipment to help clear away dozens of downed trees in the historic African-American graveyard.
Dan Spell, vice president of the Freedom Chapter of ABATE (American Bikers Aimed Toward Education), a statewide bikers rights group, said this week that he first heard about Walker's ongoing efforts to maintain the cemetery when he read a St. Petersburg Times story last year about an incident involving the theft of a skull by two Ridge Manor teens.
When he read another Times story about Walker's struggles to find help clearing away the trees that were felled by volunteers to make way for the installation of security lights, he was eager to lend a hand.
"She's been through so much already," Spell said. "I felt we could do something to help her out."
After visiting the cemetery off Fort Dade Avenue last week, Spell said he and club chaplain Buzz Boyd began calling other members who have trucks, chain saws and heavy equipment.
So far, about a dozen members have signed up for a scheduled cleanup at about 9:30 a.m. Feb. 27, and Spell expects to get commitments from more members.
Other community groups should consider pitching in as well, Spell said.
"The more people we get, the easier it's going to be to finish," he said.
Walker, who has overseen the cemetery since 1991, said she was overwhelmed by the club's offer to help clear away the trees, which were taken down late last year at her request by friends who had little experience in doing such work.
The cut trees damaged several grave sites and a wooden fence surrounding the cemetery.
Walker said she has no money to pay a professional tree company to cut up and haul off the trees.
Walker said that once the trees are removed, Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative workers will install security lighting that she hopes will thwart the vandalism and late-night parties that have been going on for years.
"Right now, you never know what you're going to find when you drive through the gate," she said. "It shouldn't be that way. No one should ever have to be afraid to go to a cemetery to visit their loved ones."

It was standing room only last Thursday evening in Lagunitas School's multipurpose room and emotions were running high as parents, teachers and administrators commented on the controversial petition to turn the popular Waldorf-Inspired Program (LWIP) into a charter school. While supporters said the move to "go charter" is a last-ditch effort to ensure the survival of their beloved program, others argued it would bleed already scarce resources and could even sink the district.
At the podium, Matt Andrews, a lead author of the charter, fought back tears as he defended the move to the Lagunitas School District Board of Trustees, which will vote on the petition on June 12.
"We are all truly blessed to be here in this beautiful place, in this dynamic school district," Andrews said. "Our intention is truly born not only out of necessity but out of love as well—the love of our children, the love of this valley, and the hope that we will work together as a community."
While most of the petition's critics are focused on the charter's financial impact, state law prohibits districts from denying charter petitions based solely on economic grounds. The 1992 law says a petition must itself be financially viable, and may be denied only if it is judged to present an unsound educational program, is demonstratively unlikely to implement the proposed program or does not contain the requisite number of signatures, affirm a commitment to offer free and nondiscriminatory education, or contain essential elements, such as governmental structures and disciplinary procedures.
The district's attorney Edward Sklar said on Thursday that the petition met all but one of these criteria, on which the board was now seeking clarification. "We have found that a great amount of effort went into writing the petition," he said. "Our remaining questions pertain to the discipline process, and to plans regarding the retirement system for charter school employees."
Housed in the school's upper campus, LWIP is based on the interdisciplinary educational method pioneered by Austrian philosopher Dr. Rudolph Steiner in the first half of the twentieth century. It seeks to combine academic, emotional, physical, artistic, social and ethical facets of learning to provide a liberal arts education at the elementary level.
It is also one of the few free Waldorf-inspired programs in the world. The private Marin Waldorf School in San Rafael charges $17,450 per year for first through eighth graders.
If the charter is approved, the 50-some LWIP students will no longer be considered part of the district. Because the revenue for a basic aid district like this one depends on property taxes and not the size of the student body, taking the LWIP students out of the mix will make Lagunitas a wealthier district on paper because the per-pupil revenue will go up. With next year's projected budget at $2,956,000, including the LWIP students, per-pupil revenue would be $10,827.
But that amount will climb to $11,678 if the charter is approved, and the district will save approximately $196,000 in salaries for LWIP teachers and staff, supplies, facility maintenance and utilities.
However, since about $305,000 of local funds would be diverted to the charter school, Lagunitas would still be left with a deficit of about $109,000—a gap that would continue in subsequent years.
Many are concerned that such a shortfall could result in drastic service cuts and even layoffs, to which the teachers at the new charter school would be immune.
"This is union busting," third and fourth grade teacher and longtime Valley resident Anita Collison said. "I am against the privatization of our public schools. I oppose this charter because it will weaken our certifications and classified staff. I see this as another attack on the rights of public school employees."
Collison echoed a common misunderstanding that charter schools are private; in fact they are free and public. If demand for enrollment were to outstrip the proposed school's capacity, admission would be determined by a random lottery, with priority given to in-district students and their siblings. An additional, out-of-district random lottery would then be held to fill any remaining spots.
While some of the projected loss could be recovered through administrative contracts coming from the charter school, the details of such an agreement have yet to be hammered out.
"Yes, there will be shortages to contend with," Andrews said later. "But we can't continue to operate at such a disadvantage, with only 2.6 teachers serving six grades. Our students shouldn't have to be at such a disadvantage [. . .] They are going to have to get creative."
But Lagunitas Business Manager Amy Prescott said there was only so much the district could do to contend with what she called a "very significant" deficit like the one projected, without resorting to a reduction in personnel.
"The only real way to make significant reductions in spending is in personnel. With a continued yearly loss of more than $100,000, we would most likely not be able to avoid employee layoffs," she said.
For many, that fear seems to have clouded any benefits of the dramatic measure to keep the LWIP afloat, especially in a district that already has progressive curricula.
But LWIP kindergarten and first grade teacher Dorothy Islan said Waldorf education uniquely looks ahead to what human beings need to be capable of when they come of age and go out into the world.
"Like the Montessori program, Waldorf is about an education of the heart," she said. "The way culture and the global world is now, we are really between a rock and a hard place. In South Africa, when all schools were divided racially under apartheid, the only schools that were combined with a multiracial student body were the Waldorf schools. And in Israel, the Harduf Kibbutz Waldorf School includes both Jewish and Arab faculty and students and has extensive contact with the surrounding Arab communities."
Yet locally, the proposed Waldorf charter appears to be tearing the district apart—a rift made worse by the spread of fliers containing misinformation about the nature of charter schools, state funding practices and inaccurate figures.
Teacher and parent Jasper Thelin, who graduated from the Open Classroom—one of the district's specialized public programs—in 1981 and has taught at Sir Francis Drake High School for 12 years, has two children in the LWIP. "The numbers are not what is important," he said. "What is important is that we come together as a community to support each other." He likened the response to the charter petition to villagers wielding pitchforks and torches.
"We're not the monster they've been hunting down in the village," Thelin said. "Instead, it's [more like] a little garden gnome that just wants to be part of the community."
Longtime valley resident and Open Classroom founder Niz Brown was also concerned about what she saw as the "privatization" of public schools, but feels the responsibility to remedy the financial shortages lies at the state level.
"If we took all this energy that's being poured into this debate, and we all got on a bus to Sacramento, we might make a real difference," she said.
Lagunitas Principal Laura Shain, who is new to the school, said she is focused on keeping the relationship between all the programs on campus strong and productive, no matter what the outcome of the charter petition.
"We need to make sure that everyone feels welcome on our campus," she said, "whether we have a charter school or not."

"People" Magazine Wants to Know What's Next for Angelina?
After Angelina addressed her risk of breast cancer with a double mastectomy, many are left wondering if or when she will have her ovaries removed to prevent ovarian cancer as well. "People" reports that Angie has been in good health since her double mastectomy in February and the reconstructive surgery in April. They also said that she is planning to have her ovaries removed at some point. This is a procedure that doctors recommend having done before age 40, or once their done having kids.
We're assuming she probably wants to take a breather for a while though, and enjoy some time with her family before undergoing any more surgery.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Thank you for trusting JustAnswer with your important question.
Celexa has a newer form called Lexapro, which tends to cause fewer side effects. It may be worth trying half of a 10mg tablet of Lexapro instead of the Celexa.
It may be worth trying the 7.5mg of Celexa again for a few days to see if it helps again, since it did a few weeks ago. But it sounds like your body isn't ready for 10mg.
Xanax can make you sleepy, and is usually recommended that you only take that when you feel like the anxiety is getting hard to handle.
If your body can not adjust to the Celexa, then it may be that it is not the medication for you. Your doctor might want to consider something like Wellbutrin which is an antidepressant with the least risk of causing sleepiness.
You should also talk to your doctor about your hormones to see if they can be tested, and what options (natural and prescription) are available to help you menopause-related mood issues. Many women have emotional benefit from the topical estrogen creams, even if they aren't at a point where they need or feel comfortable taking daily estrogen replacement pills. The cream may be worth trying to see if it helps.
Another medication that I have seen help women in menopause, who have not responded to typical antidepressants, is a low dose of Abilify if they are having a lot of restlessness, agitation, anger/irritability along with depression symptoms. So that might also be worth trying if the others do not help your symptoms.
since i really can"t get to a Doctor at home for two weeks, should I try the 7.5 mg of Celexa for a few days and use the Xanex when necessary?
Yes, I think that would be wise. But if the depression and anxiety worsen and don't level back off after a few days, you may have to decide to stop the Celexa until you can meet with the doctor to discuss your other options.
if i would have to get off the celexa, how would i do that
It's not uncommon for people to need to try more than one antidepressant to find the one that gives them the best benefits with the least amount of side-effects.
With the low dose you're on, you could just simply stop taking it.
If that seems too scary, cut the dose back to 5mg for 3 days, then half that for 3 days, then off.
OK, Thank you for your help.

News From The Wealthy Dentist #72: November 21, 2007
Editorial: Jim Du Molin
Ten More Signs You're Being Ripped Off by a Team Member!
Did you know that there's a 75% chance that your practice will be embezzled during your dental career? Last week, I told you the first 10 signs of embezzlement. Here are 10 more indicators to watch out for. Remember, chances are it will happen to you!
Click to learn the signs of embezzlement…
Survey Results: Fluoridation
Fluoride May Not Be a Communist Conspiracy!
In our most recent survey, we asked dentists if they are in favor of water fluoridation. The clear majority (85%) support fluoridation, with many citing it as one of the top 10 public health innovations of the 20th century. The minority (15%) voiced concerns about the possible side effects of mass medication. "There is a reason it was rated one of the top ten health policies of the century," said one orthodontist. "Fluoride in excess is linked to several health problems," cautioned a prosthodontist. "It is forced medication of questionable benefit," said another dentist.

Yikes! Last time I had kidney pain I ended up passing kidney stones! They started as a dull ache but boy did it get worse! It was also all just right sided pain. I would just give the doc a call for piece of mind.

Hi can anyone help I want to buy an edible image printer (asap) and don't know where to start! I want obviously a reasonably priced printer and inks but one that is going to be suitable/good for printing edible icing sheets. Thanks for any help/advice
Being in the UK, for warranty purposes, you would want to look for a Canon printer that takes the 521 series ink. Before you purchase the printer, email me for compatability. Then if you like you can order the cartridges needed. I personally like the Canons better than the Epsons since they have a removable printhead. What this means is that if you get a clog that you can take the printhead out and clean it. If you get a bad clog in an epson, you are out of a printer. But alot depends on the ink. Some inks are more prone to clogging or printhead burnout if they have alcohols in the inks. That is why you see such a big mix of reviews. If they are purchsing inks that have alcohol in them, you will see that they hate their printer as the printhead will burn out. If they do not use their printers regularly they can be prone to clogging as well. BUTTTTTT.... if your inks do not have the alcohol and if they use their printers once a week, you will see that most people love their printers/inks!
Papers also vary. There are three types of icing sheets out there. KK which is the thinnest. Some people swear by it, others have troubles with cracking depending on their humidity or lack there of. Lucks is a great all around icing sheet that is found on Edible images. Finally their is the newest to the group, the Premium Icing Sheets that are a bit thicker and stand up to most environments well. They also have the edge to edge printing and the easy-peal backing.
I hope this is helpful to you.
I highly recommend the inks from icingimages :=)
so i can just buy a printer like the Canon IP3600 from a electronic store and then just order the inks that are compatable with it from icingimages.com right??
Have you heard of the Silhouette? It prints in color and cuts at the same time. I don't own one but have seen demos. I think it's great. Linda McClure teaches how to use it.
The silhouette DOES NOT use edible ink. However, you can print with an edibleage printer and cut it with the silhouette.
Hi icing images!! I am in this situation as well, only just dabbling into the idea of geting a printer--im in Australia...any advice i should consider? I was just assuming i would need to order online like everything else! hehe
In Australia, you would want to find a printer that is compatable with our supplies. Make sure however, that you are going to be printing regularly, otherwise its too much of a hastle to keep it clean. When you are ready, PM me and I can help direct you to t he correct printer in Australia
I am looking to purchase a printer to print edible images. Can someone please tell me the best printer to purchase which will give me the least number of problems. I am not printer savvy.
Also, is there a difference in image quality if you buy a printer with 4 ink tanks vs. 5 vs 6 tanks.
I do want good quality images.
Happy New Year!
I would be glad to help you. I have been in the edible printing busienss for over 11 years now and I take printers, test them, try to break them and try to fix them when using edible inks!!!! By far, Canon is the best all around printer. It has a removable printhead which allows you to remove it should have a problem, fix the problem and replace it. THe printhead is what delivers the ink on to your paper and so that is where 99% of the problems occur...if they are going to occur. Epson printers do not have this feature and so inevitably the printer will clog and if you cannot get the clog out, you will have to replace the entire printer.
Cartridges: There are two types of cartridges on the market today. The older style which has a sponge or a wick (either way it is a material that takes up about 60% of the cartridge which reduces the amount of usable ink in a cartridge). This is the older style cartridge. We use these in some of our older printers and actually are offering the newer type as well now so we have lots of experience with them. We found that this type of cartridge because of the ink mixture you have to use and the impedement of the wick or sponge, it has cause many problems with printers. EIther in clogs or printhead burnout. So we switched cartridge type and went with a sponge free or wick free cartridge (in other words there is ONLY ink in your cartridge, nothing else). We use to have to carry printheads in stock to take care of our customers problems, when we switched to a different ink, it improved but when we went with the different ink and the newer stype wick/sponge - free cartrdige we found we do not have to carry printheads AT ALL for our customers. Pretty amazing results. Plus the colors are amazing. Plus our cartridges are made from a FOOD GRADE PLASTIC. All sponged/wicked cartridges are not.
As far as how many cartridges, currently in edible printing, there are only 5 cartrdige systems out there. Previously, there was a 2 cartridge (which I do not recommend and edible ink is not available for the newer 2 cartridge models) adn there were actually 4,6,8 and some companies were even selling 10 cartridge systems. With the exception of the 4 cartridge printer, it was just a waste of ink and allowed for more problems. WIth edilble printing, since you are printing on an absorbant icing sheet, more cartridges is not better.
So, with that being said....and I hope it wasnt too much information, I would recommend the Canon mp560 or the Canon ip3600. Both are excellent, the MP560 has a scanner built in and the ip3600 does not.
I hope this was helpful and I will be more than happy to help you with any questions you have.
Thank you icing images! What do you think about the Canon MP640. It looks like the same printer as the MP 560 but a little higher in picture quality from what i have read.
So the inks that you sell won't clog the printer heads? Do you make the inks you sell?
Thanks for your help. I will be looking on your site soon after i get my business up and running
I have an Epson printer for my edible ink, and I desest it. Hate it immensely. I spent SOOOOO much money getting all four ink cartridges, and when I went to use it last week, the magenta is not working - the printer suddenly decided it wouldn't recognize it - so the whole printer shuts down. I can't even print in black and white if one of the cartridges (or print heads, I don't know know which) has gone bad.
So now I have an expensive paperweight here with full cartridges of ink, and I can't use it.
I would dump the Epson and get a Canon, but unfortunately the cost of the ink far outweighs the cost of the printer, so I think I'm going to be stuck getting another Epson Piece of Junk.
Even before it stopped working entirely last week, it's always been really touchy. Sometimes it would work great, no problems, other times the printer would get angry about the installed ink not being "genuine Epson ink" (YEAH - 'cause I can't BUY edible epson ink!!) and it would shut down and I'd have to reset the printer and install "new" (really just the same ones again) several times before it would give up trying to tell me it isn't genuine Epson cartridges and just let me print the dang page.
The end result? I can never guarantee that I'll have a working edible printer here when I need it, so I don't use it nearly as much as I'd like to.
Hi Sim:
The 640 is actually not compatable. It uses different cartrdiges which are not available in the edible arena yet. As far as clogging, I didnt say they wont clog, they just dont clog like the older style cartridges adn the non gold label ink. If you let any printer set with ink in it, it will clog. But the nice thing is the Canon has a removable printhead in it which allows you to clean it!!!
DebbyJG: Though the epson ink is more expnesive then the printer you purchased, it is still worth it as the problem could be your cartridges. If it were me, i would dump the epson in a heart beat and go Canon.
Hi Sim:
DebbyJG: Though the epson ink is more expnesive then the printer you purchased, it is still worth it as the problem could be your cartridges. If it were me, i would dump the epson in a heart beat and go Canon.
Hmm. So you think the problem might be the cartridges themselves (or also)? Do other non-Epson printers give you that same dire warning of "THIS IS NOT GENUINE xxxx company ink"? Does the Canon recognize the cartridges as legitimate? I've wondered for a long time now if there was such a thing as a printer that was actualy MADE for edible imaging, and not so obviously an aftermarket, not so reliable workaround, as my Epson ink/printer deal is.
Debby JG:
It could be either.I am not sure which Epson you have, but some are more finicky then others. I only sell one because they are so finicky and they are more problems then they are worth. Plus, when I test them, and I break them, I cant fix them. You suually can get bast that warning.
Yeah, I usually had been able to get past the warning, by shutting down the printer, starting it back up, "reinstalling" the cartridges, and hoping for the best. Often what would happen would I would get one color to be recognized, then then another color would "X" out, and on down the line, until I'd gone through and "replaced" each color at least once. THEN it might print a sheet or two before shutting down on me again.
Last week, though, I tried all the usual tricks to get my printer to cooperate, and it just stubbornly refuses to do anything, so I think it's toast.
It's an Epson CX7400. I have the same model for my normal printing (a different unit though - just in case anyone was wondering!!) and it's finicky as well, but not nearly as much. It just annoys me because of the issue of one color going out, the whole printer stops. Such a design flaw.
Well, in defense of the printer, it was designed originally to work with Epson cartrdiges - not aftermarket and Epson makes its money on the ink therefore tries to stop people from using aftermarket inks. It could very well be the placement of the chips on the cartridge as well. If it is not perfect, it will not register. But I do not know that printer nor have I worked with that series as I got tried two different series and once I found what I was looking for, stopped as I broke too many printers and made them unusable. So...based on my backgroudn with Epsons, I would take the cartridges out, unplug the machine. Leave it off for 5 minutess or so. Plug it back in, allow the computer to tell you that the printer needs ink and follow the computers directions to install the tanks. Be sure that they are pressed in there well. Let me know how it works for you.
Thanks, I'll give that a try later today.
And, sorry for hijacking this thread. I just came across it right when it was a sore spot for me.
Let me know how it works for you!
I went on your website an it shows that you can purchase Gold label ink cartridges for the canon MP640. Is your website wrong?
Oh...I am so sorry....it does work with it! It didnt for a while, but it does now. I apologize for that error. I still would recommend the others as I have not personally worked with it. I did check my database and we do have customers using it with out problem. Thank you for pointing that out!
Do you post to AUSTRALIA thanks

A group of Brooklyn Park residents claim that Target is taking millions of dollars in tax abatements and payments from the city but isn't doing enough to benefit the community where its north campus is located.
Brooklyn Park residents who are members of the Northwest Community Collaborative initially caused a stir by holding a Valentine's Day press conference claiming the city gave Target a "sweetheart deal." The press conference was followed by a Feb. 26 listening session at North View Junior High in Brooklyn Park where more than 100 community members attended.
The Northwest Community Collaborative is a coalition of organizations that have come together to "seek the interests of the underrepresented and minority communities as they relate to the Target Corporation expansion in Brooklyn Park."
"We want to make sure Target is not taking advantage of the residents of Brooklyn Park," said Erasmus Tiampa Williams, a Brooklyn Park resident who was one of the speakers at the Feb. 14 press conference. Williams is a leader in the Liberian community, which has a large presence in Brooklyn Park.
Williams and others have claimed Target isn't living up to its agreement with the city. He referenced the housing, the city park and other pieces of the development in Target's plans that haven't yet materialized. He also said Target hasn't created the jobs it promised because the jobs it brought to Brooklyn Park were transferred from other locations.
"Job creation is different than job transfer," he said.
A misunderstanding of the city's agreement with Target appears to lie behind some of the assertions of Williams and others. According to the city, Target is meeting every contractual obligation.
But whether Target is living up to the letter of the law or not, Williams and others want ongoing conversations about how Target can help the community giving it a tax break.
What was the deal with Target?
There has been some confusion regarding what the city's agreement with Target actually entailed. The agreement is complex and multifaceted, but here are the essentials:
Under the original agreement, the city did not simply give money to Target. In fact, the city still received some additional property tax revenue because of the new construction.
The agreement said Target would get a 20-year tax abatement on each new building. In other words, it would be reimbursed for a portion of its city property taxes on those buildings. It would not be reimbursed for any taxes levied by other entities, such as the county and school district.
Right now Target receives abatement on one building.
In the years after construction, the percentage of the tax abatement was scheduled to go down incrementally. The first year Target received a 100 percent abatement, which meant it was fully reimbursed for city property taxes on that building. The following year's abatement dropped so Target was reimbursed for 95 percent. The third year, and for the rest of the 20 years, Target was supposed to get back 90 percent of the city taxes on that building.
There was a caveat: the abatement would go down if Target didn't meet the job creation goals. For the purpose of the agreement, jobs created meant jobs the company brought to Brooklyn Park, whether they were new jobs or transferred from another campus outside the city.
If Target didn't meet job creation goals, the city would reduce its future reimbursement payments. How much those payments went down depended on how many jobs were created. The closer Target got to meeting the goal, the less would be taken out of future payments.
Target has missed employment goals and as a result gets less money back. If it meets those goals in the future, however, it can once again be reimbursed at the 90 percent rate.
After 20 years, the city will keep all its taxes on the new buildings. No matter when it's built, no building will qualify for abatement beyond Feb. 1, 2038. The benefit to the city is that it will end up with a significantly larger tax base, as well as a large development that should spur further growth.
The agreement includes a few other benefits to the city.
If the development requires a water tower or police substation, Target must provide the land at no cost.
Target must also develop and dedicate 5 acres of city park land for every 50 acres of developed Target property located west of West Broadway Avenue. That requirement hasn't been triggered yet because Target has only built east of West Broadway.
The agreement also refers to other "planned improvements," such as retail space, a hotel and housing.
But what many don't realize is that Target isn't obligated to build any of them. Rather, the contract states "the timing, nature and scope of the various Development Phases shall be dictated by market forces." The plans are only a guide and a vision of what could be possible.
In December 2011, the agreement with Target was renewed at Target's request, and changed slightly at the city's request. Instead of having taxes reimbursed on future construction, Target will be paid the same amount of money from a different revenue source. That revenue source is Tax Increment Financing (TIF) money.
The city sees this as a benefit because the state tightly regulates how TIF dollars can be used. If the city pays Target out of TIF funds, then all of the property taxes Target pays will go into the general fund, where they are more useful to the city than TIF dollars.
The full agreement with Target is available online at brooklynpark.org/target.
'Come to the table'
Some members of the Northwest Community Collaborative come across as more aggressive and combative than others. But they seem to agree on a common theme: Target and the city should "come to the table" to discuss partnerships that can benefit everyone.
Joy Marsh Stephens is chair of the northwest region of ISAIAH, a member organization in the Northwest Community Collaborative.
She explained her position saying, "Ultimately what I feel we want is a chance to say … welcome to our city. We're glad to have you. These are the needs we have, and we're acting in good faith that Target, based on their reputation, cares about the community they're in."
Target spokesperson Molly Snyder said the company does care about the communities where it does business.
"This project reflects a significant investment in Brooklyn Park bringing the community additional jobs and revenue," she said in an email. "Target remains committed to being a good neighbor in all the communities where we do business. We place a high value on creating a diverse work environment and focus on hiring qualified applicants who match the skillsets needed for particular positions."
Snyder pointed out Target was named in 2012 as one of the top 50 companies for diversity by DiversityInc magazine and received the "2011 Diversity Leader Award" from "Profiles in Diversity Journal."
But Williams said the Brooklyn Park community has concerns that should be addressed. So he's trying to get the attention of city officials.
"The best thing to do is to come together and respectfully engage our city officials … so they can call on Target," Williams said.
One of Williams' top priorities is to see if Target can help create jobs for Brooklyn Park residents.
Brooklyn Park resident Wynfred Russell, of the African Career and Education Resource Center, said that's also a goal of his organization, which is a member of the Northwest Community Collaborative.
Russell would like to see Target work with local community colleges to create a job training program that would enable qualified Brooklyn Park residents with an IT background to train for the specific jobs Target has at its north campus. He said North Hennepin Community College and Hennepin Technical College in Brooklyn Park have expressed potential interest.
"We're not asking for handouts," Russell said. "… We're asking, 'How can we partner with Target and the city of Brooklyn Park to facilitate the training of Brooklyn Park residents to be qualified to work at Target and other employers in Brooklyn Park? … The only missing piece is getting Target to the table."
Russell said such an arrangement would benefit everyone.
He also said community engagement around such issues is crucial.
Stephens agreed.
That's why Stephens facilitated the Feb. 26 listening session, which was intended to gather community input about the city's priorities, the agreement with Target and future community benefit agreements.
More than 100 people attended the session, and Stephens said there were common themes, including the need for jobs, education and affordable housing.
Brooklyn Park City Manager Jamie Verbrugge, who attended the listening session, heard some of the same themes.
"I thought the responses were very thoughtful," he said. "Things like job training and pre-K education, and a lot of things that have to do with the social and economic underpinnings of the community."
Verbrugge said it is important for city leaders and residents to have such conversations and that he looks forward to seeing the report the Northwest Community Collaborative compiles based on listening session results. He said he doesn't think the group or its goals are in conflict with the city.
"As a leader in the city organization, I am very willing to sit down and have the conversation with them," he said. "If there are differences in terms of how we interpret a community benefit agreement, I think the thing that unites us is everyone is interested in making sure Brooklyn Park is a thriving and successful community."
Stephens shares his optimism.
"I have enormous confidence in the power of people to come together, to share their stories, and to be persistent in a fight for greater justice," she said.
As of March 1, there had been no official follow-up communication between the city and the collaborative, but Verbrugge expected to call the next week and schedule a meeting.

SOUTHEND United midfielder Michael Timlin will today discover the seriousness of the dislocated elbow he suffered against Tottenham Hotspur yesterday.
Timlin picked up the injury when scoring a late goal in a pre-season friendly at Spurs' training ground.
But Blues boss Phil Brown does not yet know how long Timlin will be sidelined for.
"It's a blow because Tims is an important player for us and we're keeping our fingers crossed that he won't be out for too long," said Brown.
"It happened towards the end of the game and it actually happened when he was scoring a goal.
"He landed awkwardly on it and was in a lot of pain.
"He will be out for a couple of weeks and will certainly miss three or four pre-season games but we will know more when he goes to see a specialist about it today.
"We're obviously hoping he can still be fit for the start of the season but I would imagine it's very touch and go at this stage."
Timlin had his elbow popped back in to place within a few minutes of suffering the dislocation.
But he is no stranger to injury affected pre-seasons.
Two years ago he was sidelined by a shoulder problem and last summer he was working his way back from a broken leg.
Now the midfielder faces another race to get fit and currently not the only injury concern at the club.
Centre-back Adam Thompson missed Tuesday night's 3-1 win at Billericay Town with a back spasm and midfielder Ryan Leonard is also sidelined.
He picked up a leg injury during the Billericay game and was forced to miss yesterday's defeat at Tottenham.
No further details have been released from the game due to a request from Spurs.

Assessing quality in cross-country comparisons of health systems and policies: Towards a set of generic quality criteria
There is a growing body of cross-country comparisons in health systems and policy research. However, there is little consensus as to how to assess its quality. This is partly due to the fact that cross-country comparison constitutes a diverse inter-disciplinary field of study, with much variation in the motives for research, foci and levels of analyses, and methodological approaches.

Four States Reluctant to Join National Standards Planning
Four states—Alaska, Texas, South Carolina and Missouri—have so far declined to participate in the Common Core State Standards Initiative, the attempt to develop national standards spearheaded by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers.
South Carolina Superintendent of Education Jim Rex has signed on to the initiative, but Gov. Mark Sanford has not. Sanford, who made news last spring for refusing to apply for $700 million in federal stimulus money until forced to by the state Supreme Court (and more recently for admitting to an extramarital affair), claims that because he has no role in setting the state's curriculum, there is no reason for him to sign on. In order to participate in the initiative, however, a state must have the signature of both its chief education official and its governor.
In Alaska earlier this summer, then Gov. Sarah Palin and state Commissioner of Education Larry LeDoux expressed concerns about the initiative, although they did not close the door on participating. In a statement, Palin, who has since resigned as governor, said that Alaska would "monitor but not yet actively participate" in the initiative. In a piece in the Anchorage Daily News in June, LeDoux identified several reasons for his opposition, including his belief that because the standards in each participating state must be composed of at least 85 percent of the national standards, the resulting 15 percent variation in state standards will render state-by-state comparisons meaningless.
Opposition to the initiative from Texas Gov. Rick Perry and the state's education commissioner, Robert Scott, stems primarily from a reluctance to alter the current state standards, which were recently revised and which they believe to be rigorous and thorough. Scott told the San Antonio Express-News, "I will absolutely look at them and make sure that Texas' standards are always higher." Spokespersons from the Texas Education Agency have said that the state could have to spend up to $3 billion for new textbooks and assessments if it changed its standards in English and math.
Missouri is likely to join the effort, as Gov. Jay Nixon recently signed on after months of reluctance and newly appointed Commissioner of Education Chris Nicastro is expected to do the same.

Fix iBooks After iOS 4 Jailbreak
iOS 4 was recently released for most variants of the iPhone and iPod Touch and while the update seemed to be great and got jailbroken soon as well, there were some post-jailbreak glitches. After many users were able to jailbreak iOS 4 on their iPhone 3G/ 3GS and iPod touch 2G using redsn0w, most of them complained regarding iBooks not working after the jailbreak. The iPhone dev team has decided to respond, and has released a redsn0w 0.9.5b 5-4 upgrade that addresses the issue and and fixes the iBooks problem. Update: A fix is available for those who jailbroke using PwnageTool 4.0 as well. Read on for more information on both.
iBooks is a great piece of software and makes reading books on your Apple device an absolute pleasure. That's why when users found out that jaikbreaking their devices rendered iBooks useless, there were frequent widespread complaints about the issue. This issue not only applied to the devices jailbroken with redsn0w, but also to those jailbroken with PwnageTool 4.0. Luckily, we've got fixes for both.
redsn0w Fix:
You will need to run the new redsn0w 0.9.5b 5-4 in order to ratify the iBooks glitch on your iPhone 3G/3GS and iPod Touch 2G. According to Dev Team the official change statement goes like:
There's a new redsn0w beta (links were changed above) that should fix any iBooks problems people were seeing. Just run this new version 0.9.5b5-4 and deselect Cydia (you don't want to reinstall Cydia over itself).
Download Links for resn0w 0.9.5b 5-4: Windows | Mac
This will attempt to jailbreak your device again with the proper fixes that are required to get iBooks working even after the jailbreak. As mentioned in the instructions, if you have already jailbroken your device, deselect Cydia when jailbreaking, since Cydia is already installed and installing it over itself again might pose problems. On the other hand, if you haven't yet jailbroken your device, make sure to keep 'Cydia' selected.
PwnageTool Fix:
If you are having trouble with iBooks on your iPhone 3G/3GS and iPod Touch 2G after jailbreaking with PwnageTool 4.0, you needn't worry about that either, as a new version i.e. PwnageTool Ver 4.01, is now available that fixes this issue for you. You can download the new version of PwnageTool Version 4.01 for Mac here. Simply follow its accompanied instructions and you will have a jailbroken device with iBooks fully working without a glitch.
Did the methods work for you? Did you run into any issues? Know of a method to fix the iBooks issue after jailbreaking with some method other than these two? Don't forget to post it in the comments below.

Help With My Fondant Recipe Please.
Baking By mommabeaver25 Updated 20 Feb 2014 , 6:41pm by Kimbecupcake
I always use the buttercream fondant recipe because my experiance with other recipes have not been the best. Even though I add gumtex to it, it's still too soft and hard to mold into figures, they always end up drooping and looking short, squashed and fat. What can i do to fix this? Thanks.
Have you tried kneading is some Tylose. This is what I do when I need my fondant to firm up and dry quickly.
Need more info. What is "buttercream fondant"? If you are talking about rolled buttercream, I don't think it is ever going to do what you want it to do no matter how much tylose you add to it. For figure molding you need fondant , gumpaste or candy clay or a mix of the above. What you are trying to do is the equivalent of trying to pipe a tiara out of buttercream instead of royal icing and expecting it to stand up on its own.
If you are talking about some other product, I don't know what the fix would be for your issue.
I think she means the butter cream flavored fondant recipe.
What you need is a good gumpaste recipe. Mixing gumpaste into buttercream fondant will never be strong enough for what you are doing. The large amount of butter weakens the structure. If you mixed tylose into a regular fondant it would be better but still not as good as a true gumplaste recipe. Here is my favourite:
Egg White Gumpaste (Flower paste)
2 large egg whites
8 cups icing sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons of karaya gum (GumTex)
1/4 cup warm water (Tap water is fine. It should not feel hot to touch)
1 tablespoon shortening (Does not go into gumpaste but is used to work with it)
1. In a medium bowl beat egg whites with an electric mixer until frothy (about 30-40 seconds).
2. Add 2 1/2 cups icing sugar and beat until well combined.
3. Sprinkle the karaya gum on top of the mixture and then beat again for about 15 seconds. Beat in another 2 1/2 cups of icing sugar. The mixture will be dry and crumbly.
4. Add 1/4 cup warm water and mix until smooth.
5. Put the final 3 cups of icing sugar in the bowl and knead in by hand. You may have to take the gum paste out of the bowl and continue kneading.
Note: This gumpaste is a nice white color and it is ready to use immediately if you use shortening on your hands when you work with it. It will be even easier to work with if you allow it to sit overnight in a airtight plastic bag or container. This gumpaste works beautifully in silicon molds. It is my favorite gum paste recipe and dries very light and strong. Makes 2.5 cups of gum paste.

A woman who lived with the brothers now charged with attempted murder for a 2007 shooting in the hills west of Temecula testified Wednesday that she overheard them talking about plans to rob migrant workers and local vendors.
Laura Ayon, the live-in girlfriend of Esau Bravo Vasquez, overheard him talking to his brother, Ismael Vasquez, about plans to go to the avocado orchards on a Saturday so they could rob the workers on payday as well as the local vendors who would also be in the area.
Her testimony came during the prosecution's presentation of evidence in the trial of Esau, 28, and Ismael, 20, both of whom are charged with crimes including attempt murder, robbery and kidnapping in connection with the April 7, 2007, incident in De Luz. The men are on trial in a Hall of Justice courtroom in downtown Riverside.
Earlier in the trial, Vincente Avalos, who worked with Esau Vasquez at the McMillan Farms' avocado grove, testified he was beaten and held against his will by the defendants. Avalos testified he was taken at gunpoint to the spot where the foreman paid the workers in cash and was ordered to get the money.
He said Esau fired shots right after Avalos asked for the money. But, Avalos said, it was Ismael Vasquez ---- not Esau ---- who shot him in the abdomen.
Avalos said some of the workers talked to him before deputies arrived about the kind of guns that were fired. Avalos told deputies the guns were a .22-caliber rifle and a .45-caliber handgun.
Defense attorney Paul Maineri contends Esau fired shots in self defense when someone fired a shotgun at him.
He told jurors during his opening statement that evidence a shotgun was fired comes from medical records pertaining to the pellets found in Ismael's body as well as from a backpack found there with live shotgun ammunition.
The shotgun was never found, Maineri said, because the migrant workers did not want it to be found.
Avalos testified he never saw any of the other workers with guns of their own.
On Wednesday, Deputy District Attorney Jason Stone and defense attorney Erin Kirkpatrick questioned the woman about a conversation she overheard about the brothers going to De Luz to get guns.
Ayon testified both of the guns came from the De Luz area, but said she was not sure exactly where. She added that she saw two guns, a .45 caliber handgun and a .22-caliber rifle in her home.
Kirkpatrick asked if the brothers told her they got the guns from the migrant workers living in the area.
"They just told me they got them from up there," Ayon said.
During questioning by Stone, Ayon testified she warned the brothers not to go to the groves.
"I remember telling them not to go because they might get caught or they (the migrant workers) might shoot them," she said.
But she said the men choose to go anyway, and she picked them up on Los Gatos Road in De Luz.
"They were hiding in the bushes," she said.
Stone asked if they were wearing masks, and she recalled one of the face coverings was made of her daughter's pantyhose. She testified that she drove them home, but said they did not talk about what happened during the drive. At one point, Esau Vasquez told her not to get involved, she said.
When investigators came to her Perris home and questioned her, Ayon testified, she made up a story about the defendants being at home that day with the exception of Ismael Vasquez's trip to a store.
She said she made up the story because she didn't want to get in trouble and have her kids taken away.
The jury was not permitted to hear testimony about the defendants bringing back marijuana seeds from the groves and shipping them to other parts of the state. Judge Michele Levine said Ayon was not to volunteer that information during her testimony because the trial is not about drug-related crimes.
The defendants each face multiple life prison terms if convicted as charged.

America's Fiscal Future: Making Difficult Choices
The MacArthur Foundation and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago present a discussion with the co-chairs of the expert committee that produced the non-partisan report, Choosing the Nation's Fiscal Future:
Dr. John Palmer is a University Professor and Dean-Emeritus at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, and a Syracuse University Former Trustee for Medicare and Social Security.
Dr. Rudolph Penner is a Senior Fellow, and Urban Institute Former Director for the Congressional Budget Office.
Patricia Widder (Moderator) is on the Editorial Board for the Chicago Tribune.
Robert Gallucci (Introduction) is the President of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
Daniel Sullivan (Introduction) is the Executive Vice President and Director of Research, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago
Our government spends more money than it takes in; as a result, the nation's debt is growing rapidly. The economic recession has worsened the current imbalance, but the real challenge is the long-term budget picture. With an aging population and rising health care costs, the nation's debt is projected to increase sharply in the future.
Our debt is a burden that, if unchecked, poses a threat to the nation's economic vitality. There are many options to put our fiscal future on a more stable path. Signaling our intent and taking steps soon will be less costly and difficult than acting later.
The federal budget is an expression of our priorities and our values as a nation. What are the goals we want the country to meet and the choices we must make? What happens if we do not address our fiscal challenge, and what will it mean for the country and for each of us?
Recorded Wednesday, July 21, 2010 at University Club of Chicago.
