A Taste of Bagel History
The origins of the bagel are debated, but most historians agree that this chewy circular bread debuted in Krakow, Poland in 1610. And lovers of bagel with a schmear had to wait to enjoy the pairing until 1872, when cream cheese was invented. Prepackaged bagels became available in the 1950s, helping them grow in mainstream popularity, and Thomas' started baking bagels in 1991.

Quarterly Reports on Debt Management by Indian Government
Published: November 13, 2012 at 5:07 pm
Recently Indian government has released quarterly Report on Public debt management which clearly stats the current position of Indian financial crisis. The report gives an account of the debt management and cash management operations during the quarter, and attempts a rationale for major activities. The report also tries to provide detailed information on various aspects of debt management. The complete report is released publicly by Indian government and anyone can view from their official website.
The gross fiscal deficit of the Central Government for fiscal year 2012-13 (FY13) was budgeted at 5,13,590 crore (5.1 per cent of GDP) compared with 5,09,731 crore (5.8 per cent of GDP) in the provisional accounts for 2011-12. The gross and net market borrowing requirements of the Government for FY13 were placed at 5,69,616 crore and 4,79,000 crore against 5,10,000 crore and 4,36,414 crore, respectively, in FY12.
The fiscal outcome during April-August of FY13 indicates stress in the in the revenue account. Net inflows on account of foreign investment during July-August 2012 showed some improvement after remaining subdued in the first quarter of the current fiscal year.

According to the reports "The total volume of Government securities transacted on an outright basis during Q2 of FY13 stood at `15.09 lakh crores, representing an increase of 16.8 per cent over `12.92 lakh crore during the preceding quarter. While the transactions in treasury bills increased by 32.9 per cent during the quarter, transaction volumes in state government securities registered a growth of 20.0 per cent."

American Printer's mission is to be the most reliable and authoritative source of information on integrating tomorrow's technology with today's management.
May 1, 2003 12:00 AM
When Gene Joynt founded American Business Printing (ABP) as a business-forms company in 1977, he adopted a simple credo: Do whatever it takes to serve the customer. In its early years, the York, PA, shop's primary clients were the state of Pennsylvania and federal agencies. The work was fairly straightforward, consisting mostly of continuous-run, snap-set business forms produced on ABP's Didde roll-to-sheet web presses.
Although ABP — now based in Lewisberry, PA — has grown to 35 employees generating $4.5 million in annual revenue, its service ethic has remained unchanged.
Upholding the "whatever it takes" motto, however, has meant diversifying offerings to keep up with changing market needs. By 1984, Joynt knew that ABP's niche as a continuous-form printer would have to expand. He made a significant investment to go after new market segments, by purchasing a small commercial print shop and installing new sheetfed presses with thermography capabilities.
The new business plan called for ABP to produce many different applications, including brochures, letterhead and reports. The strategy required new managers. Joynt appointed his sons, Jim and Jeff, to head the sales and manufacturing teams, respectively. Their sister, Jeanine Emery, joined as controller, and their mom helped with bookkeeping.
"It was an exciting time, because we had an opportunity to significantly grow our business," says Gene. "It was also quite a challenge to manage growth and maintain profit margins in light of our investments."
One way ABP sought to increase revenues — and improve quality control — was to keep its postpress work in-house. After deciding to focus on flat-sheet vs. signature collating, the printer knew it was time to invest in an automated collating and bookletmaking system. The company purchased a new bookletmaker in 1998.
The system, however, proved to be unreliable. It continually broke down and produced marking errors. "We had lots of new jobs coming in, but we couldn't accommodate the demand for quick turnaround," says vice president Jeff.
"As it turned out, almost 50 percent of our saddlestitching work had to be farmed out or hand-collated," Jeff explains. "It was ironic, because we had finally automated the bindery, but with the system down so much, we were forced to do manual collating, folding and stitching — hardly an efficient workflow, and not exactly a morale booster for our staff."
ABP couldn't bid on many enticing new jobs, and its existing work suffered. Because the collators wouldn't collate business forms into sets, ABP employees had to hand-collate thousands of sets of forms. The experience delayed a job and dramatically signaled the need for a change.
Fortunately, ABP's graphic-arts dealer, Northern Machine Works (Philadelphia), had come up with a potential solution. Account rep Dan Johnson brought the Joynts to a demonstration of the Standard Horizon SpeedVAC in line with the SPF-20 stitcher/folder, FC-20 face trimmer and the ST-60 dual-delivery stacker. The SpeedVAC, said to be one of the industry's fastest collators, is a vertical suction system distributed by Standard Finishing Systems (Andover, MA).
The owners liked what they saw and purchased the first of three two-tower systems.
ABP put its first SpeedVAC to the test immediately, operating it virtually nonstop during its two shifts. Nearly six months later, the company had reported almost no downtime and a significant increase in volume. Because of its dual-delivery system, which enables the production of up to 6,000 booklets per hour when both ends are operating, Jeff regards the SpeedVAC as two collators in one. Run lengths range from 250 to 5,000 booklets.
"Time is obviously critical to us. We really appreciate the quick setups and the ability to make simple adjustments on the fly," the exec reports.
The new system also offers labor savings. Only a single operator is required with the SpeedVAC, and Jeff says ABP can now get more production from fewer people. "We don't have to worry about recruiting and retaining skilled labor nearly as much as we used to," he notes. "At the same time, our operators tell us that they're really comfortable using this equipment. They like the touchscreen console, which features graphic icons and easy, centralized remote control of all functions."
Prior to acquiring the SpeedVAC, ABP produced fewer than 300,000 books a year. That production has increased dramatically — after the first SpeedVAC approached the 10-millionth-booklet mark, ABP ordered a second one. And when the second system reached the 10-millionth-booklet plateau, the company purchased a third identical model. "We keep reaching new milestones — 30 million booklets and counting," says Jim.
ABP is now a full-service commercial printer, offering end-to-end prepress design, offset printing, bindery and distribution services. The printer operates four Ryobi 3200 presses with T-heads for waterless offset thermographic printing of greeting cards. It also recently installed an Itek 3985 true two-color press, on which it runs up to six colors. On the finishing side, it does foil stamping, embossing, crash imprinting, diecutting and offline numbering.
Recently, ABP added short-run digital printing to its operation. The printer typically produces covers on a color Canon CLC 1000 copier, runs documents on a black-and-white Canon imageRunner 8500 and collates on the SpeedVAC.
"We'll continue to diversify our offerings," says Jim, "but we'll never cut corners again when it comes to finishing."

How do I break the habit of picking my nails?
I used to bite my nails when I was younger, but when I got braces, that habit was broken since I could no longer bite them. But now, I pick at them instead of bite them. I realize that this is an even harder habit to break than biting. Since with biting, I could just put something that tastes bad on my nails and then I wouldn't bite them... but I don't know what to do about picking them.
I don't just pick them when I'm nervous, but also when I'm bored or stressed or in an awkward situation. I notice that I even pick them when I simply have nothing else to do with my hands. They are short and ugly and I get hang-nails a lot. I notice other people with nice nails and I feel bad, but I can't seem to stop. Even when my brain notices that I'm picking my nails and I tell myself to stop, I physically can't until I've picked off whatever piece of my nail I'd been picking at. It gets really annoying and I don't know what to do about it.
Please help. :(

My mother-in-law watches my 5-month old for a few hours during the week and usually wears him for his naps. He won't go to sleep any other way except for nursing.
My mother-in-law is complaining about her back hurting as of late, and I'm trying to think of other ways she can get my little one to sleep. We don't use a stroller this young, so that's not an option. So my next thought was a baby hammock.
I'm looking at the Kanoe, the Special Delivery hammock and perhaps the one sold by Noval Naturals or Magic Cabin (which I believe, are the same).
Anyone have any success stories (or ones of failure) in transitioning a baby from a carrier to a hammock? And which of the hammocks would you recommend?

The pink stripe and yellow decors are very popular in various shapes that are found in quantity.
Talk about variety. There is many vases, bowls and baskets shapes found in these decors. The yellow marble was still being produced in 1928. In the BB Fall 1928 BB basket advertisement in the WVMOAG catalog, Monograpgh No. 121 shows a certain shape is produced in yellow marble, but the embossed decor on the melon (16 rib) shape is done in threaded pressed pattern or also known as a fine rib pattern.
Pink and blue marble spatter decors are also found in various shapes. The pink stripe was also produced in blue. I see the blue striped decor more in baskets than I have in vases.
Many decors were repeated for a number of years on various shapes. The design of the shape I believe did have modifications to keep up with the marketable trend. During the years of Henry Ford success, automobiles each year would have modification changes to improve the product while keeping up with the competition to give a simple analogy.
To have such a long running product, I tend to believe it was from a glass manufacture that was big enough to keep up with the supply in demand for many years and had a very good relationship with merchant wholesale companies. The idea of a catalog was to be a "traveling salesman" to fill orders quickly. So again, a glass manufacture as such would be mass producing.

Linux is gaining some ground in the enterprise for several reasons:
Cost: Because Linux is free, many enterprises are trying to determine where Linux fits in the data center and on the desktop. The cost savings that can be realized by not having to pay sometimes-hefty licensing costs can be considerable.
Linux embedded in appliances: Because Linux has a large developer community, more and more appliances are shipping with an embedded Linux operating system. For example TiVo runs a version of Linux. Linux is attractive to developers because they can ship a trimmed-down version of Linux that only supports the functionality required to run their application or service. The corporate threat from such a slim version of Linux is smaller than from the feature-complete versions.
The growing acceptance of open source: Five years ago, when open source software like Linux started gaining momentum, many IT managers were afraid of the support issues associated with it. Today there is a large community of >Linux advocates who support the product for free, and support staff are becoming more accustomed to self-help options, such as Usenet and Google groups, for open source software. Many enterprises also have staff on board who have considerable skill running and troubleshooting Linux.
For service providers, there are considerable opportunities to provide support with Linux training, support and deployment. As many enterprises are still skittish about integrating Linux into their environment, there are opportunities for service providers to educate their clients on where Linux will fit in their environment.

If ever my adult children were to announce they are moving back home to the place where their childhood roots have withered, where they grew and matured, I'd question my hearing.
"Say what?" I'd spout, gawking in disbelief.
"We're moving home," they'd simply reply.
As with most young people today, when ours were of age, they took better jobs and sought sophisticated lifestyles and finery a distance from home.
This ever increasing migration of the young leaves us in a draught, making us needy for youth's spark and energy to return to our shrinking communities.
For most of us, the idea of having children living nearby is a pipe dream. We begrudgingly settle for driving an hour or two to spend time or catching a plane for a longer stay far from the nest.
Dealing with distance yet always glad to be reunited, we are keenly aware that our time together will never again be the same. We brood. We brood some more.
When children return for holidays, birthdays and the like, we ride high on the perfume of their momentary presence. The spring in our step is reborn, our eyes reflect contentedly, and we dote and fuss over our grown-up "little" ones.
It's been 20 years since my daughter, Vanessa, lived at home. After college, she moved to Texas and then to California. Over time, I had lost any hope of them or our two sons relocating to their old stomping grounds.
Flash forward to Christmas Day 2011, when Vanessa said over the phone, "Are you sitting down?"
"Yes," I chirped, knowing full-well, it would be good news. Mothers are experts at discerning such things. We know our children so well that we can guess with precision and accuracy the text and context of their comings and goings.
"Now, don't be upset" usually means bad news, and "I need to tell you something" is never followed by cheeriness. "Are you sitting down," however, may be something good.
Unable to wait, I jumped right in, asking, "Are you pregnant?"
"No," came her quietly contained reply.
"You're changing careers."
"Are you moving?"
"Yes," she let me indulge.
"Where?" I braced, believing it would be anywhere but here, fearing they'd move even farther away.
"We're moving home to be nearer to you."
At the sound of those honey-filled words, my whole self, every part of me from head to toe, inside and out, reverberated. Unable to speak, I shrieked, rejoicing with all of my motherly sensibilities. Pained over lost years of living apart, I then let out a guttural cry of harmonious, satiny notes that ascended in an aura of serenity.
Later I learned she had me on speaker phone, which meant my happy hootin' and hollerin' most likely carried all the way down to the Johnson elevator.
It wasn't until then that I finally allowed myself to turn and squint at visions of a reunited life together.
Our visits would no longer be frayed by goodbyes that separated us by weeks or months. Rather, they would remain tightly sewn with "See you later!" and "Let's get together tomorrow."
Eternally lonesome for my three children, I was tired of wearing a worn heart on my sleeve. Now, after hearing the melody of this joyous homecoming, I am transformed by a complete and untethered metamorphosis.
Happily moved to tears, I earnestly asked, "When?"
"Soon," was her sweet reply. "Soon."

From D.C., with Love
Bi-national gay couple tackles borders and barriers to stay together
by Will O'Bryan
Published on January 4, 2007, 12:00am | Comments
Romantic relationships are often fraught with pitfalls and puzzlement -- gay relationships often more so, given social stigmas and bureaucratic obstacles. Sometimes, the added difficulties are extreme.
For Shawn Gaylord, who lives in Adams Morgan, and Slava Bortnik, of Gomel, Belarus, that's putting it mildly.

''In the evening, the police came to the apartment,'' says Bortnik, 32, recalling a November evening in Gomel when he and a few other GLBT activists met to plan a gay human-rights conference. ''Four people spent about two hours in the police station. Three of us spent the night there. They interrogated us about the conference. We decided to cancel it. It was too dangerous.''
Half a world away, Gaylord got news of his partner's Nov. 8 arrest by reading a listserv for human-rights activists.
''It's difficult because I have no way of getting information,'' says Gaylord, 37. ''Most of his family and colleagues don't speak English. The fear is that I don't know what's happening.''
Bortnik and Gaylord have been a couple since they met at an August 2003 human-rights conference in Mexico. As a bi-national, same-sex couple, they're not alone. And while their straight counterparts have the option of getting married and sponsoring their spouses for residency in one of their home countries, that system excludes gays (with a handful of exceptions for countries that allow same-sex marriage).
And it just becomes more complicated given that Bortnik's native country has amassed what many see as the single-worst record on human rights in Europe.
''We've talked about Slava coming here for school,'' says Gaylord, ticking through various ways the couple has pondered a day-to-day life together. ''We've seriously talked about moving to Canada. That's actually, in some ways, one of the easier ways to do this.''
But more immediate, yet short-term, solutions take precedence.
''Right now, we're talking about me going to Belarus in March. Sometimes it's just easier to figure out the next trip, because we have control over that.''
As Bortnik and Gaylord spoke with Metro Weekly, just before the new year, they were coming to the close of one such trip, which saw the couple traveling the United States, from the Grand Canyon to Gaylord's hometown, Schenectady, N.Y. With their time together coming to an end -- for now -- the two have to steel their resolve ahead of the inevitable good-bye.
''When I go back to Belarus, I have, like, two weeks of depression,'' says Bortnik. They are, however, getting better at living this particular situation. ''Now I have so many things to do when I go home, which is good. I won't have too much time to be depressed.''
The same feelings strike Gaylord shortly after his partner leaves.
''There's definitely a feeling of depression each time. It's particularly bad when something happens -- good or bad -- that you'd want to share with a partner. You want somebody to talk to.''
It's not a feeling either are familiar with, says Gaylord'' ''We're not depressed people. We usually have a lot of fun.''
To ease the separation, they e-mail each other daily, and phone a couple times a month. And they've not had to go more than about three months without meeting since the initial introduction in Mexico. That's not to say it hasn't been complicated and expensive.
''It's very hard to get a U.S. visa,'' says Bortnik. Each man needs a visa, which costs $100, to visit the other's country. Bortnik says, at least, the American embassy in Minsk knows him thanks to his work for Amnesty International -- an illegal group in Belarus -- and his frequent visits to the United States. ''They know I'm a human-rights activist, so I don't have trouble. [But] it takes at least a month to get a U.S. visa. It's very complicated. And there's no guarantee you'll get the visa.''
Poland sometimes serves as an alternative meeting point for the couple. Warsaw is much more accessible by air for Gaylord, and about half the cost of flying to Belarus. For Bortnik, Warsaw is an overnight train-trip away. But the time and expense of meeting is burdensome, no matter which plan they follow.
''It's definitely something I think about: the amount of money we spend to see each other,'' says Gaylord, adding that during the first year of their relationship, he was job hunting and had more free time to travel. ''It's harder since I started working at [the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network].''
While the complications are hard on the couple, it's also hard on others, says Gaylord: ''Since Slava has been here six times, he has a lot of friends here. And my family really likes him. It's hard for us to be apart, but lots of people miss Slava when he isn't here. And I like his friends and family. It's all these bonds that people form, not just our relationship.''
Bortnik and Gaylord say there may be a bright spot for them in the recent Democratic takeover of Congress, a change that bodes well for legislation that has been introduced repeatedly to allow Americans to sponsor their foreign, same-sex partners for residency, as is now the case with spouses.
Immigration Equality, a New York-based organization whose work includes advocacy for bi-national, same-sex couples, offered this statement after the November election, expressing cautious optimism: ''We have a great opportunity with the newly elected Democratic Congress. This does not, however, make passage of the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA) a 'slam dunk' in the 110th Congress. The bill has cosponsors on both sides of the aisle and although Democrats have been far more supportive of the UAFA than Republicans, many Democrats have not yet agreed to cosponsor.''
Immigration Equality and Human Rights Watch issued a joint report in May titled Family, Unvalued documenting the plight of bi-national, same-sex couples.
Gaylord says he's hopeful that change may be coming as well. As a lawyer, he sees it as an issue of fairness in the uniting of bi-national families.
''There are all sorts of ways that you can sponsor people that are your 'legal family.' It doesn't seem like it should be so difficult to sponsor a partner. For a straight couple, there can be some expense to sponsoring someone. But what we have is an absolute bar from sponsoring someone as your partner.''
The Family, Unvalued report is available online via Human Rights Watch, www.hrw.org, or Immigration Equality, www.immigrationequality.org.

Computer Science Home
The Computer Science department at Dominican prepares students for careers in many aspects of the business world. Any organization that depends on computers to generate, store, protect or retrieve information needs employees with substantial computer science training.
Dominican's program also prepares students for graduate study in computer science, business or related disciplines.
If you enjoy puzzles, adapt well to change and possess strong problem-solving and analytical skills, a major in computer science might be right for you. You'll also need to enjoy working with people because computer scientists usually work as part of a team.
Change is truly the only constant as the evolution of computer technologies occurs at breakneck pace. We focus on giving our students the tools to stay current and adapt no matter how much technologies change."

Happy Pitchers and Catchers everyone.
A few things that I'm looking for in spring training:
1) 2B, whose job it is anyway? By all accounts, Carlos Guillen is our 2B, but he won't be ready until mid April. So Willy Rhymes and Scott Sizemore will be splitting duties in the interim. What happens if one of them plays lights out this spring? Does Guillen still have the job when he gets back? Or could he be on the trading block?
2) Who will be our everyday left-fielder? Right now, it's a competition between Raburn and Boesch. But if both play well, what's wrong with giving Raburn some ABs at 2B? I think we can all agree that 1st half of 2010 Boesch + Raburn at 2B would be a significant boost to our lineup. I'm guessing that we start the season with a Raburn/Boesch platoon in left, with Raburn spelling other positions when Boesch starts. I feel strongly about getting Raburn 550+ ABs this year.
To further this discussion, assuming Boesch is more than a 4A player, we are really in a good position to deal with our aging vets. I think we all expect Maggs and Martinez to get injured at some point in the season (hopefully for not too long), so having the likes of Guillen and Boesch to fill those at bats doesn't sound too bad. And where does Don Kelly fit in?
3) Does Coke have the stamina to be a starter? He only threw 25+ pitches in a game three times last year. If you'll recall, he started the final game of 2010, and was promptly chased after 1 2/3. I love the idea of having a lefty at the back of the rotation, but he'll need some serious work to get up to 80+ pitches by April.
4) Who else can be an effective starter? The boys will likely need 30-40 starts from guys not currently contemplated to be in the rotation. I'm pretty sure we can predict what we'll get 1-3. What can Penny bring? And after Coke, is Oliver ready to fill in? Interestingly enough, Rotoworld lists Brayan Villarreal as #6 on our depth charts.
5) Is Joaquin Benoit worth $5.5M? That's a heck of a lot for a setup man with only 1 great season behind him. Unfortunately, I don't see spring training as an effective medium for measuring relief pitchers. So it will be a while before I'm ready to answer this one. Remember how good Valverde looked in April/May/June before he forgot where the strike zone was.
6) How does Maggs' ankle look? We'll need on the field reports from those of you headed out to Lakeland.
What else are you looking for during spring training? What are your thoughts on the LF and 2B carousel?

%336%left%About a year after receiving a grant from the German-American Fulbright Commission to teach English in the small eastern German town of Rathenow, Andrea Pomerance '02 missed only one thing about the States: hearing Southern accents like her own.
But fortunately for the young friends that the Tennessean made at her German high school, that was nowhere near enough to send her packing.
Pomerance spent the 2002-03 school year working as a teaching assistant (stipend, 700 euros a month) at Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn Gymnasium, a school for grades 5-12 in Rathenow, 45 minutes east of Berlin. The grant program is funded by the U.S. and German governments and serves to promote education through cross-cultural exchange.
To say Pomerance's experience overseas was cross-cultural, though, might be an understatement. In one class exercise Pomerance designed, for example, she drew a stereotypical German and instructed her students to sketch their image of an average American.
"I had drawn the stereotype of a German: tight black jeans, beer in hand, watching football [European soccer]," Pomerance recalled. "I put it on an overhead projector and said I wanted them to draw theirs. Basically what I got was, 'everyone eats McDonald's, people sit on the couch and watch TV, and they drive everywhere.'"
After thunderous laughter, the budding teacher and her students discussed both misconceptions. "Basically I'm just teaching them to try to get past these stereotypes," she said.
%337%right%The exercise was part of Pomerance's favorite task as an English-language teaching assistant: her meetings with about 10 sixth graders every weekend to hone speaking skills and discuss American culture. She also assisted German teachers in class, taught lessons and conducted various activities such as English language games with her students.
In the cultural emphasis of her entrée into teaching, Pomerance witnessed the transcendent power of reciprocation. In class one spring day, her pupils asked her when she had last really celebrated Easter. She said it had been five years. They decided it was time she had a real Easter again. The next day, she said, "each had hidden chocolate and eggs around the classroom. Some had made bread and hidden it. That was one of the best days. You do stuff for them, but it's nice to have something in return like that."
When she took her first German language class her freshman year at Colby, Pomerance's only goal was to fulfill her language requirement. A Jan Plan trip, a junior year in Munich and several courses later, she had focused her study on the country. Specifically, Pomerance's work centered on the divide between the former East and West Germany, united in 1989 but still largely unable to bridge gaping socioeconomic and cultural divides.
The Fulbright grant allowed Pomerance to experience firsthand the depressed economy and post-Communist climate of the formerly East German Rathenow, a microcosm of what she'd studied at Colby. The town's unemployment skyrocketed after the Berlin Wall was destroyed, as graduates from high schools like hers traveled straight to western Germany and Berlin, where jobs were more plentiful.
When her grant ended in June, Pomerance found herself among the scores of people moving from eastern Germany to look for a job in Berlin. She persevered and landed a position as academic coordinator at the European College of Liberal Arts.
In addition to the worldly knowledge the recent graduate acquired abroad, Pomerance learned something else in Germany that shattered the widely accepted notion that Waterville, Maine, is the coldest place on Earth: Rathenow was so cold, she says, it made Waterville feel like Boca Raton.
But at least she had four years in Maine to prepare: "I'm from Tennessee. If I'd come straight [here], it would have been a major shock." ,Braxton Williams '99

Committee drafts Ranch city charter
Date: June 17, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
LAKEWOOD RANCH — Members of the Civic Action Forum's Incorporation Study Committee presented their vision for Lakewood Ranch's governing body as well as a draft of a city charter during a forum June 15.
If Lakewood Ranch incorporates, the committee is advocating a council-manager style of government comprising five council members with one serving as mayor. Furthermore, its draft of Lakewood's city charter delineates all aspects of running the city — from term limits and district lines to taxes and police protection.
A second forum for governance groups will be held at 5:30 p.m., June 19, at Town Hall. Information from both meetings will be used to make possible adjustments to the city charter proposal, and public forums would be held at future dates, committee member Keith Davey said.
Friday's meeting is not open to the public.
The committee is proposing a council-manager style of government in which five council members would be elected by a citywide vote. Then, those five would appoint one to serve as mayor. The council would consist of three district seats and two at-large seats, and a city manager would be appointed to handle the day-to-day operations of the city.
Committee members say the structure would ensure council members share a citywide view of the community and promote efficiency.
But some CDD supervisors and leaders of other Lakewood Ranch governance groups argue the proposed structure may leave residents without enough representation because elected leaders would not specifically represent neighborhoods.
"It's a matter of whether you want the decisions close to you or not," CDD 2 Supervisor Bob Stepleman said. "You're pushing the government farther from the people."
City Charter
The Incorporation Study Committee began the charter creation process in October 2008 and since then has reviewed more than 50 city charters to develop 45 decision points to include in Lakewood Ranch's potential city charter.
Guiding principles for the document include achieving a strong, elected leaders and maximum flexibility for the city council to conduct business.
As currently proposed, the city charter would create a five-member council with mayor and a city manager. Council members would serve four-year staggered terms, while the mayor would serve two-year terms. Currently, there are no term limits.
The city would be broken into three districts of approximately equal populations, each with a mix of residential, commercial and agricultural lands.
"It really promotes a citywide view of all (council) members," Davey said.
Most services, including police and emergency medical services, would be contracted out, to minimize expenses and the number of city employees.
Existing CDDs would become dependent districts of the city, meaning that CDD boundaries would remain in place and the taxes collected within each CDD, for example, would still be used for that CDD but would be handled by the city instead of a separate board of supervisors.
There would be virtually no impact to existing homeowners' associations, Davey said.
The Civic Action Forum is still awaiting results of a feasibility study, which would determine whether incorporation would be beneficial to residents.

Height: 5'9" Weight: 215 Age: 31 Experience: 9th season College: Memphis Drafted: 2006 R1 P27, Panthers

Carolina Panthers general manager David Gettleman indicated the team likely will keep RB DeAngelo Williams, RB Jonathan Stewart and FB Mike Tolbert even though they are combined to count more than $14.8 million against the salary cap next season.
Huddle Up: Because when the best/most productive runner on your team is your quarterback and you have a desperate need for playmakers elsewhere in the offense, why wouldn't you bring all three running backs back to take a $15 million bite out of your salary cap? Same ol' same ol' in Carolina, where Williams, Stewart, and Tolbert will cannibalize each other's fantasy values once again.
Posted: 12/6/2013 6:21pm et
Carolina Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams (quadriceps) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 6, and is probable for Week 14.
Huddle Up: Williams will return after his Week 13 absence and figures to resume his role as the RB getting the most touches in the Panthers' muddled backfield.
Posted: 12/5/2013 6:07pm et
Carolina Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams (quadriceps) practiced on a limited basis for the second straight day Thursday, Dec. 5, and it looks like he'll be able to play in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints.
Huddle Up: Williams missed the Week 13 win over the Bucs, but he doesn't want to miss Sunday night's NFC South showdown in New Orleans. Keep in mind that the same old Carolina RB fantasy quagmire will still be waiting for Williams upon his return.
Posted: 11/29/2013 5:03pm et
Carolina Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams (quadricep) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 29, and is questionable for Week 13.
Huddle Up: It looks like it'll be a game-time decision Sunday for Williams, who hasn't practiced all week. Fellow RBs Jonathan Stewart and Mike Tolbert also are banged up, coach Ron Rivera said Friday he expects both to play.
Posted: 11/27/2013 5:49pm et
Carolina Panthers RBs DeAngelo Williams (quadriceps), Jonathan Stewart (ankle) and Mike Tolbert (knee) all missed practice Wednesday, Nov. 27.
Huddle Up: Now starting at running back for the Panthers: Cam Newton! But seriously, keep an eye on these guys; we can't imagine they will actually miss the game, but if Williams gets the backfield to himself he could have a nice day.
Posted: 11/4/2013 12:56pm et
Carolina Panthers RBs DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart and Mike Tolbert had 13, nine and six carries, respectively, in Week 9.
Huddle Up: As suspected, Jonathan Stewart came in to muck things up for Williams.
Posted: 11/1/2013 2:00pm et
Carolina Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams (quadriceps) was limited in practice Friday, Nov. 1, and is probable for Week 9.
Huddle Up: Williams was back at practice after missing Wednesday and Thursday, but more concerning to his fantasy owners is the impending return this week of RB Jonathan Stewart, who's sure to cut into Williams' touches.
Posted: 10/30/2013 6:00pm et
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (ankles), who is still currently on the Physically Unable to Perform list, looked and felt great in practice Wednesday, Oct. 30, and the team expects him to be active in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. 'I feel ready,' Stewart said. 'Today was a good step forward putting the pads on. It felt good going out there and hitting the field full speed with some contact and running plays with contact.' Stewart had the majority of snaps in practice with RB DeAngelo Williams (quadriceps) being held out for precautionary reasons. Head coach Ron Rivera continues to say that Williams will remain the starter and that RB Mike Tolbert will continue to see touches. 'We can't force things,' Rivera said. 'We can't. What we've got to do is Mike (Shula, offensive coordinator) has to continue to call his game the way he wants to call it, and at the end of the day when you get your opportunity make the best of it.'
Huddle Up: It will be interesting to see how Stewart is injected into the mix here. Keep an eye on Williams this week.
Posted: 10/26/2013 12:21pm et
Carolina Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams (quadriceps) suffered a bruised quadriceps during the team's Week 8 game, but head coach Ron Rivera said he believes Williams will be able to play Week 9.
Huddle Up: Williams has the luxury of 10 days to heal up but owners will want to monitor his status closely next week. With Jonathan Stewart about to return and Mike Tolbert seeing more touches, Williams can't afford to miss time.
Posted: 8/28/2013 11:17am et
Carolina Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams is expected to receive the bulk of the work among the running back to start the season.
Huddle Up: Mike Tolbert (and Cam Newton) might swipe some goal line looks, and Kenjon Barner could factor into the mix as well, but until Jonathan Stewart returns this is definitely DeAngelo's gig--with all the fantasy upside that workload entails.
Posted: 6/18/2013 1:11pm et
Carolina Panthers RBs DeAngelo Williams and Mike Tolbert received
plenty of repetitions in OTAs with RB Jonathan Stewart (ankles) on
the mend.
Huddle Up: What else have we come to expect from the Carolina RB situation as
it's shaping up to be yet another committee effort producing numbers
on the ground.
Posted: 5/15/2013 9:51am et
The Carolina Panthers restructured RB DeAngelo Williams' contract. He was in the third season of a five-year, $43 million contract and was scheduled to earn $5 million with an $8.2 million salary cap number for 2013. Williams will still receive $5 million in cash this year, but the deal has been restructured in a way that reduces his cap number to $5 million, a cap savings of $3.2 million that leaves the team $8.46 million under their adjusted 2013 salary cap number of $126.232 million. Williams was scheduled to earn $4.75 million in non-guaranteed base salary with a $250,000 workout bonus this season. Under the renegotiated contract, Williams' base salary was lowered to $850,000 and his workout bonus reduced to $150,000. The remaining $4 million was converted to a signing bonus, which will be prorated against the Panthers' cap at $800,000 per season through 2017.
Huddle Up: The restructuring should end the speculation about Williams getting cut, as this deal makes him a whole lot more cap-friendly--and a whole lot more likely to remain on the Carolina roster. Now let's see if the Panthers can do something similar with Jonathan Stewart.
Posted: 5/5/2013 11:25pm et
Carolina Panthers general manager David Gettleman did not rule out the possibility of trading RB DeAngelo Williams at some point.
Huddle Up: Another offseason, another round of Williams trade rumors. But with a number of RB-needy teams having already filled their needs in the draft or free agency, the more likely it appears Williams will start his 8th pro season as a member of the Panthers.

Suicidal Toole only published one novel in his short life, but it's a work of comic genius.
The humor, enjoyable absurdity, and intertwined characters of A Confederacy of Dunces reminded me of The Broom of the System, by David Foster Wallace. I liked the latter a lot better though. I thought Dunces was a good book: well-written and clever. But I'm not sure I understand why it warranted a Pulitzer. This probably demonstrates my lack of understanding regarding the Pulitzer Prize and literary prowess than anything else.
Favorite quote: "Jail was preferable. There they only limited you physically. In a mental ward they tampered with your soul and worldview and mind."
J.Wellington Wimpy meets Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. I grew tired of Ignatius' act about half-way through but glad I stuck it out til the end. Won't spoil it except to say it wraps up pretty darned well.
One of my utmost favorites. It never fails to make me long for New Orleans and all its insanity.
I was not aware that the neurotic Elling had a fat American relative. (Or rather an ancestor, or at least a predecessor, as Ingvar Ambjørnsen's Elling first appeared in 1993, as opposed to A Conferderacy..., which was published in 1980). Very funny, but I started to become quite tired of Ignatius J. Reilly a bit more than halfway through the book.
A pungent work of slapstick, satire and intellectual incongruities - yet flawed in places by its very virtues.
Ultimately, Ignatius is simply too grotesque and loony to be taken for a genius; the world he howls at seems less awful than he does. Pratfalls can pass beyond slapstick only if they echo, and most of the ones in this novel do not. They are terribly funny, though, and if a book's price is measured against the laughs it provokes, A Confederacy of Dunces is the bargain of the year.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0802130208, Paperback)"A green hunting cap squeezed the top of the fleshy balloon of a head. The green earflaps, full of large ears and uncut hair and the fine bristles that grew in the ears themselves, stuck out on either side like turn signals indicating two directions at once. Full, pursed lips protruded beneath the bushy black moustache and, at their corners, sank into little folds filled with disapproval and potato chip crumbs."
Meet Ignatius J. Reilly, the hero of John Kennedy Toole's tragicomic tale, A Confederacy of Dunces. This 30-year-old medievalist lives at home with his mother in New Orleans, pens his magnum opus on Big Chief writing pads he keeps hidden under his bed, and relays to anyone who will listen the traumatic experience he once had on a Greyhound Scenicruiser bound for Baton Rouge. ("Speeding along in that bus was like hurtling into the abyss.") But Ignatius's quiet life of tyrannizing his mother and writing his endless comparative history screeches to a halt when he is almost arrested by the overeager Patrolman Mancuso--who mistakes him for a vagrant--and then involved in a car accident with his tipsy mother behind the wheel. One thing leads to another, and before he knows it, Ignatius is out pounding the pavement in search of a job.
Over the next several hundred pages, our hero stumbles from one adventure to the next. His stint as a hotdog vendor is less than successful, and he soon turns his employers at the Levy Pants Company on their heads. Ignatius's path through the working world is populated by marvelous secondary characters: the stripper Darlene and her talented cockatoo; the septuagenarian secretary Miss Trixie, whose desperate attempts to retire are constantly, comically thwarted; gay blade Dorian Greene; sinister Miss Lee, proprietor of the Night of Joy nightclub; and Myrna Minkoff, the girl Ignatius loves to hate. The many subplots that weave through A Confederacy of Dunces are as complicated as anything you'll find in a Dickens novel, and just as beautifully tied together in the end. But it is Ignatius--selfish, domineering, and deluded, tragic and comic and larger than life--who carries the story. He is a modern-day Quixote beset by giants of the modern age. His fragility cracks the shell of comic bluster, revealing a deep streak of melancholy beneath the antic humor. John Kennedy Toole committed suicide in 1969 and never saw the publication of his novel. Ignatius Reilly is what he left behind, a fitting memorial to a talented and tormented life. --Alix Wilber
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:40:16 -0400)
Ignatius J. Reilly of New Orleans, --selfish, domineering, deluded, tragic and larger than life-- is a noble crusader against a world of dunces. He is a modern-day Quixote beset by giants of the modern age. In magnificent revolt against the twentieth century, Ignatius propels his monstrous bulk among the flesh posts of the fallen city, documenting life on his Big Chief tablets as he goes, until his maroon-haired mother decrees that Ignatius must work.… (more)
