Barack the Black Hitler
(How Obamas stated goals may lead to the deaths of roughly six million people and the striking similarities between Obamas personality and methods for acquiring power and Hitlers.)
For most people, Hitler embodies pure evil. Because of this, his name is often invoked in debates over character. These sorts of comparisons are almost always unwarranted and wildly exaggerated. But now America has a new star politician, Obama, and the parallels between he and the most loathed man in history are very real. In this article, we will examine the methods of assuming power employed by both men, and the role of their decisions in the lives (and deaths) of six millions jews.
The substance behind words:
We can tell a lot about what a politician thinks of his audience based on his approach to speaking to them. A politician that believes his audience is mature and intelligent will appeal to their logic rather than emotion. He will tell them the unpleasant truth because he believes his audience can handle it. A politician that does not think very highly of his audience will do the opposite. He will remain as vague as possible and appeal to their emotions above all else.
All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach. Adolf Hitler
It is not hard to deduce Obamas opinions of his audience. When hes in public he uses vague terms such as hope and change rather than attempt to define exactly what it is he intends to do. He appeals to the authority of examples in history in order to imbue their qualities into his words rather than extoll the virtues of any specific policy he proposes. Lets not forget his creative borrowing of other peoples words either. (see: Deval Patrick) In essence, he aims to inspire, not inform.
I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few. Adolf Hitler
Behind closed doors, however, Obama shows another side to him as he attempts social psychoanalysis on the people whose votes he seeks:
[People in small towns] get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy towards people who arent like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations. Obama, at a San Francisco fundraiser. (Behind closed doors)
Insults and condescension aside, what is wrong with this picture? Why doesnt Obama share his amatuer psychoanalyst-side with the rest of the people? Surely a great orator as Obama can do it without insulting them, right? It would be impressive for Obama to tell the American people exactly what theyre thinking (as he seems to think himself capable of doing), but it appears he doesnt seem to think highly enough of voters to tell them what he thinks, only what he wants them to feel.
Tactics for seizing control:
He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future. Adolf Hitler
Its no big secret that Obama bases most of his appeal with youth voters. This is a common occurrence in the history of the rise of tyrants. Most are supported fervently by the young. Hitler famously used this technique to gain power. The tyrant-to-be must hide his true ambitions behind a mask of emotional appeal in order to seduce the gullible and unwary. The youth most often falls into this category, not yet broken in to the number one rule in electing a ruler: watch their actions, not their lips.
The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belonged to one category. Adolf Hitler
In the year 2000, a fierce primary raged in the Republican party. Two candidates, John McCain and George W. Bush polarized the party. Some sleazy personal attacks against McCain appeared at a crucial moment. In the end, Bush won, but not without sowing the seeds of animosity. McCain believed he had been the victim of some dirty tricks and attributed the attacks to the Bush campaign. Bush denied it. The vitriol was so bad that many expected McCain to leave the party. By most accounts, including the Democrats that met with him to discuss such matters, he almost did. Nevertheless, to the surprise of many wide-eyed pundits, McCain strolled into the convention in support of Bush. Chalk it up to character or political posturing for another run. Despite this, the rivalry did not subside. The two men represented opposite ends of the Republican party.
In the years to follow, McCain became a vocal critic of the management of the Iraq war. When the blueprints for the Surge rolled out, he was one of the first to embrace it while rejecting the Bush doctrine. He has also been critical of the wasteful spending which the administration allowed and even its tax cuts. He earned the scorn of a lot of Republican leaders for this, as well as his maverick handle from the media, seeing him as a thorn in the administrations side. Despite their many differences and long history of rivalry, Obama attempts to caricature McCain as essentially a Bush-clone in many of his speeches.
No matter what the costs, no matter what the consequences, John McCain seems determined to carry out a third Bush term Barack Obama
Returning to the subject of Obamas views of voters, what do you think this tells us about Obama? Surely the people must know Bushs policies, theyve been the law of the land for nearly eight years. Surely, any voter interested in the issues would study the policies of the candidates carefully. If one candidates policies were identical to the current administrations, wouldnt it be readily obvious even to the most untrained eye? Why would the average voter need Obama to tell them that Bush and McCain are the same person if its obvious? Only if they wouldnt get that impression from looking at the record, only if it werent true.
Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it. Adolf Hitler
(For the sake of accuracy, it should be noted that a version of this quote first originated with Goebbels, Hitlers propaganda minister. In this particular quote, Hitler was paraphrasing him.)
Sooner will a camel pass through a needles eye than a great man be discovered by an election. Adolf Hitler
January 2nd, 1996, Obama began his under-handed crusade for the senate. With a crack team of lawyers, he challenged hundreds of vote petitions and managed to eliminate all of his fellow Democrats from the ballot. One fellow candidate was Alice Palmer. Up to that point, she had been grooming Obama to succeed her once she retired. Not willing to wait, Obama took matters into his own hands and denied her the right to run for her own seat. Alice Palmer is the same woman who essentially launched his political career. Apparently, Obama didnt trust the voters to discover a great man in that election, so he chose for them.
The genes of tyranny:
Obama and Hitler both have displayed a penchant for eliminating undesirable infants. Hitlers case is well known; he believed he could create a master race through selective breeding, mandatory sterilization of undesirable parents and abortions. Obamas methods lack the scope of ambition but the end result is similar Obama has legalized the murder of already-born infants.
In 2002, an important bill known as the Induced Infant Liability Act cropped up in the Illinois senate. The purpose of the bill was to protect infants who had been born alive after a failed abortion from being aborted after birth. In the United States, the second a person is born, they become a U.S. citizen. Taking the life of such a citizen is murder. That is something both pro-choice and pro-life advocates can agree on. Even the most pro-abortion lobby in the country, NARAL, did not oppose it nor the federal version of the law.
Obama on the other hand, did oppose it, TWICE. In doing so, he helped establish the legality of murder of infant Americans in his state.
Both Obama and Hitler are of mixed racial heritage, and distort this heritage to control public opinion. Hitler hated jews and made a career of it, so he hid the fact that jewish blood ran through his veins. Obama has made a career out of embracing his blackness and African American heritage. His first book, Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, was based entirely on that premise. Theres just one problem: Obama isnt an African American, Obama is an Arab American.
Obama is 50% caucasian, 43.75% arab, and 6.25% black. According to federal law, an American citizen must be at least 1/8th, or 12.5% of a particular race to be considered a member of that race. Obama meets that criteria easily to be considered an Arab American but not African American.
(The astute reader will have noticed that being that Obama is not truly African American, the title of this article is inaccurate. I have decided upon that title rather than an alternative due to the publics general familiarity with Obama as an African American.)
Dead-end philosophy:
Pop Quiz: Which of these quotes was said by Hitler and which was said by Obama?
A. our individual salvation depends on collective salvation. Because thinking only about yourself, fulfilling your immediate wants and needs, betrays a poverty of ambition.
B. Our nation can achieve permanent health only from within on the basis of the principle: The common interest before self-interest.
If these two statements seem similiar, its because they both derive from the same philosophy: socialism. NAZI stands for National Socialist German Workers Party. The socialists of Hitlers era arent much different from those of today in terms of ideology, though most socialists of the modern era are called latte liberals. Indeed, Hitler wouldve fit right in with such a group. He was a vegetarian, pro-abortion, an advocate for strict gun control, desirous of universal health care, and continually extolling the virtues of state control.
Someone once asked me how Obama could become a socialist. I replied by asking how he could not. Obama has been surrounded by marxists his entire life. Im not sure that he has contacted non-marxist/socialist ideas within his close circle of friends even once.
His father was a communist. His mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, was a communist. Obama explicitly admits to seeking out marxist professors in his autobiographical work and attending socialist meetings. His close friends, like Bill Ayers the former terrorist, leadership at Trinity, all hold distinctly socialist/marxist views. Obama had the most left-wing voting record in the entire senate for 2007. He was even more radical than senators who were openly socialist.

Interesting how events can change public perspective.
That green czar, is rather disconcerting. I think it might be the beginning of the unveiling...of the real agenda of the resident at 1600 Pennsylvania St
INTREP (Intelligence Report) - information of an event involving those of the "opposition;"
Green Czar will have a hail of a time soon.Axes are being sharpened on Cap and Trade.
Where did this author get his information? bam isn't an arab. I doubt he is even part arab. He is islamic, but that doesn't make him arab.
As for the rest, history is a great teacher...if you know history. Most of his cult followers don't, but they are learning.
Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian, that from his mother. What those who want Mr. Obama to write history by becoming "America's first African-American president" ignore is that his father was ethnically Arabic, with only 1 relative ethnically African Negro - a maternal great-grandparent (Sen. Obama's great-great grandparent, thus the 6.25% ethnic contribution to the senator's ethnic composition.).
That means that Mr. Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side. He is 43.75% Arabic, and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side.
Put another way, his father could honestly claim African-American ethnic classification. He was the last generation able to do so.
No way Obama is half black and half white.
He just doesnt have the appearance.
We could always contact Fredshelm and ask him what his information is.
I don't know who Kenneth Lamb is, but the information is wrong. The Luo tribes are not arab. The Luo actually left their ancestral homeland because of arab conquest. The Luo are black Africans and very dark skinned.
arabs are notoriously racist. They don't like black people.
Yesterday I remarked to a friend of mine that bam is actually darker skinned than most mulattos I have seen. Owing to the fact that Malcom X was very light skinned and F Marshall Davis was fairly light skinned as well, if either one of them had been his father, with a white mother, he would have been much lighter skinned than he is and the black features, lips, hair, would have been less pronounced. It led us to conclude that if bam Sr was NOT his biological father, someone equally as dark skinned would be...which is highly unlikely.
I also considered that perhaps it was a generational fluke that caused the black genes to dominate his features, but it really doesn't follow since Dunham was about as lily white as you can get.
Statists will be Statists!
Marxists will be Marxists!
However, there's no way to prove that some of the male line in that family were NOT arabs. The arabs did inter-marry...or should I say, have children with blacks.
There's also the fact that the female line doesn't count with islamic blacks, and to be able to call yourself arab held certain advantages.
The other argument, that arabs are not black falls down with the fact that the arabs in that region were Omani.
Thanks for the clarification. I find it very difficult to believe that bam is arab. Too much points the other way. islamic, yes.
If Obama Sr was his father, some arab ancestry is quite possible...but it's not something he would write about in 'Dreams' is it?
What purpose does the book serve? The aim was to establish paternity. Why was that necessary?

In the deep dark heart of the Ludine Forest, lives many things, many animals. From monkeys and snakes, to beetles and fish, many things live here. But none are so reclusive, nor terrifying than the jaguar. It is a creature who lives on it's own, many regarded the jaguar as a god of battle. For the Aztecs, the highest rank for a single warrior was the Jaguar Warrior, but in order for one to reach this rank, they would have to capture four enemy soldiers and feed their hearts to a jaguar. Only then would they be granted this rank. Yet this forest held many secrets of it's own, it is said that a Guardian looks over the woods, though no one has ever seen it. There had only ever been witnesses to it's destruction upon those who dared to disturb the well-being of the woods. The Guardian had a special power, only those stupid enough to awaken it has seen its power. It's mysterious ways are what cause great awe with the human realm, if only they had known how close they were to awakening it's power yet again...
A light rain descended upon the lands, covering the mountain tops in deep misting. Birds were cawing in the trees as monkeys jumped from branch to branch. It seemed as if the whole forest was unaware of what was going to take place, for unknown to them, was the passing of a predator. Her sleek spots were great at camouflaging her through the underbrush, each carefully placed paw was in effort to assure that she was not heard. She would take up to an hour, or however much time was required to make sure she got her kill. Jaguars have great mechanism of hunting, like most cats they stalk their prey, they have fast bursts of speed and great agility. But none can compare to their bite, it is so powerful that the way they hunt, is primarily through crushing their prey's skull. This cat had in mind to follow this to the 'T'. The deer was just mere yards in front of her, she was not going to mess this up. With each step she got closer and closer, then with a burst of speed, she ran and jumped at the deer. Her teeth piercing it's skull before it had time to react; another successful hunt. But before she would eat, she was going to drag this deer back to her home. Unlike most cat breeds, her home was in the trees, high above the ground where she could keep her meal from being taken by other predators. It wasn't that she couldn't start eating it right there, but she had to get back to her cubs, they were young, but old enough that they could start to eat meat.
Her powerful body effortlessly dragged the carcass hundreds of yards before finally reaching the tree; in hearing little growls she let go of the meat and looked up. One, two and three, all of the cubs were looking down expectantly at her.
"Come on mom!" Mutke, the youngest called down to her.
"Yeah, I'm starving!" Andy, the eldest agreed.
"If you're so hungry why don't you come down and get it?" Necahual challenged. Really if they wanted it so bad they could just as easily descend the tree and get it themselves, but she wouldn't do that right now. Picking up the deer once again she started to climb the tree. Many would think that it would be hard to carry something as heavy as a deer up a tree, but Necahual was experienced in this line of work, for she had learned it from her own mother. After nestling the deer securely in the tree it was time to eat, all four of the jaguars dug into the flesh, but the cubs had all eaten their fill way before their mother. Mutke and Andy went off to their own branch and started to nap, while Georgiana stayed close to her mother. For now all was perfect, or so it seemed. Unknown to the forest a being that they tried their best to stay away from was on the move. Man. It was well known throughout the forest that man occupied parts of it, they created small villages and even temples reaching high into the sky. Now man all by themselves were not that threatening, it was their devices of which they used to hunt. And what did they hunt or other than meat? Pelts. The last thing anyone would want in this jungle was to be caught and killed by man.
Licking her maw, Necahual gazed out from the tree, she couldn't quite place it, but something seemed off. Terribly off. Her black ears rotated backwards as she looked to the left then to the right, her green eyes caught a bird on the move, it was her friend; standing up she nodded to the macaw. Nudging Georgiana over to her siblings, Necahual waited for the bird to land. As it did Necahual noticed that the bird looked flustered, "Is there something wrong?" She questioned.
"More than just something," the bird replied. "Man is back in the forest, they are moving in this direction. I'm notifying everyone in the vicinity."
Necahual nodded to the bird once again and the bird took flight; glancing back towards her cubs she gave off a short huff to get their attention. "Come along children, we're leaving."
"Where to?" Andy asked in excitement. Apparently he thought this was all fun and games, but Necahual was unwilling to make the children worry.
"To a better place. Come on." and with that she descended the tree. The three cubs followed shortly as their mother waited at the base of the tree, they needed to get moving and fast. As soon as her cubs were behind her, she took off in a good even paced trot, weaving in and out of the way of bushes; stopping every now and then to let the cubs catch up. She could tell that after a while they were beginning to become tired, but despite this she would not let them rest, they could not rest. She was their mother, and by golly she would protect them.
To the cubs following behind they tried their hardest to keep up with their mother, but it was easier said than done. Her legs were longer, which meant she took larger strides, plus her stamina was higher than theirs. Much to their happiness they saw their mother stop ahead of them, she graciously waited for them to catch up before going ahead again. The cubs would whisper amongst themselves with the purpose of their move, they were more curious than worried which was why they slackened in their pace every once and a while, often tackling each other before their mom would come back and scold them for wasting precious time.
"Aw but mom!" Mutke would whine.
"We were just having a bit of fun…" Andy tried to reason. But one sharp look from their mom would be the end of it.
They traveled for another hour before Necahual decided to take a break, her three cubs panted heavily as they came to a stop near a creek. Her sharp green eyes looked about, as if deciphering the woods around them. She knew her cubs would become hungry, but she couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched. The three cub, after drinking, started to explore, though they wouldn't stray too far from their mother. All of them, except for Andy, he was a little more into this exploring round and strayed a little too far.
Necahual did a head count, there was Georgiana, right next to her was Mutke, yet where was Andy. Raising from her sitting position she looked over the heavy brush, "Andy?" she called out. Yet there was no response; looking to her other cubs she gave them a 'stay there' look, both of the girls obeyed. Padding off lightly she started her search for her son. Where could he have gotten to? Then with the sounds of snapping and a sharp snarl she jumped through the brush. Up ahead there was a hole in the ground, with sticks and leaves protruding from the sides. As she came to the hole she slowed down, looked around, then proceeded to the hole. Then there in the hole, was Andy, his frightened form lay at the bottom of the hole, this was a man's trap, that much she could tell just by looking at it. Humans often made this kind of trap to capture any animal unlucky enough and heavy enough to set it off. "Andy…" she sighed. The hole was at least six feet deep, once in it was hard to get out. Looking at her son, she knew there was nothing she could do to help, and that broke her heart. Her ears pricked to the sound of voices; raising her head she looked in the direction they had come from, she knew who those voices were. It was man. "Andy," she would say again, "I love you." then she quickly jumped into the underbrush nearby. Her eyes intently stared at the hole, the humans had come carrying a cage of some sort. She knew what they were doing, they were going to use him for their sacrifices. As they had done the same with her when she was younger, yet she had broken free from them.
She watched as they used rope to pull her son up from the hole, despite every effort he had made to try and break free, it all proved to be futile. Then they forced him into the cage, his golden eyes widened with each passing second as growls came from his maw in his displeasure with what was going on. The humans just spoke to one another, pointed at him, then continued to speak amongst themselves. It seemed like they cared nothing about his protests, nor that he didn't want to be there. He wanted to be back with his family, then there in the bushes, he spotted his mothers eyes. He called to her with all the loudness he could muster, yet Necahual just stayed there, her eyes were slowly tearing, there was nothing she could do, the men had spears. She knew what havoc they could create, and the death that they could bring.
As the men began to pick up the cage, Andy called louder and louder. "Mom please!" he yelled, "Help me!" yet she just stayed there. "Please…" he whined longingly. But the farther and farther they took him away, he saw his mother walk out from the bushes.
Her ears laid back upon her head, she knew what she would have to do, she knew how to do it and she knew where they were going. They were Ludine priests, that much she could tell by the garb they wore and their headdresses. As her son called to her time and time again, she resisted the great urge to roar in response, instead after the humans were out of her view, she waked back to her daughters, who upon her arrival asked where their brother was, Necahual remained silent for a better part of the day. When the sun began to set and the two cubs had gotten enough rest, the black jaguar began to pad off again, when Mutke and Georgiana saw her leave they followed in quick suit. A heavy aura surrounded the black jaguar, her thoughts only around one thing: rescuing her son. But there was a problem that she just could't ignore, as it had to deal with her daughters being taken care of, she wouldn't bring them into this mix, if only there was someone who could take care of them for her, then it hit her. This forest had many things, but the most sacred of all was something the forest animals had only heard of and not seen. It was the Guardian of the woods. If was easy to find the Guardian, that is, if you know where to find her. Unlike most of the creatures in the woods, the Guardian stood out like a sore thumb, for her pelt was completely white. Odd as it was, for she was a jaguar that had no spots.
Thankfully they were rather close in distance, so picking up her pace, Necahual turned to the left and started a gentle lope. Oh she knew exactly where to find the Guardian, despite no one knowing where she lives, she had her dwelling in a old temple that was covered in vines, from the bottom to the very top. It was well hidden in this rainforest, for it lies deep within a maze of tall brush. Trees stretched high to the darkening sky, good. It would be harder for random animals to follow the black Jaguar in the dark, though following her lighter colored cubs would be easier.
Coming to a halt a smile came to her maw, well what lay ahead was certainly letting her know that the Guardian was here. Vines had now covered the area, stretching from tree to tree and scaling even to the top of the trunks with just a hole for an entrance. It was clear that the Guardian had made this, especially for one who did not want to be found easily. Looking back to her cubs when they had caught up, her green eyes softened. "We're here." She would say to them.
"Here? Where is here exactly?" Questioned Georgiana in a grumbled tone.
"Yeah mom, where are we?" Mutke agreed.
"You'll see." Necahual responded. Turning her attention back to the wall of vines, she walked forward, each step filled with a sense of confidence. Lowering her head, she walked into the hole. It was like a cave, the vines wrapped around each other in an intricate design forming a perfect tunnel. A pride of the Guardian was that things were kept in order if at all possible, as was shown in every inch of the tunnel. The two cubs followed close behind, whispering to themselves, coming up with their own ideas of what lay at the end of the dark tunnel, they didn't know why their mom was so fascinated with this place, she seemed to see something they didn't. As they reached the end of the tunnel, the cubs' maws opened wide, they had never seen a old building like this before, the vines that covered it looked as old as the building it covered. "Now," Necahual began, "I want you two to be silent for now, alright?"
The cubs nodded in agreement, they still had no idea where their brother had gone off to, but they figured that they could find out soon enough.
"Halt!" a voice growled from the entrance. "How did you find this place?" It demanded to know.
"You should know, you taught me." Necahual chuckled.
"And who are those two with you?" The voice asked.
"They are your grandchildren, well two of them."
"There was a third, wasn't there?"
"Yes. But the priests took him."
"Did they now? Come. I shall speak with you three in private, who knows who or what may be listening."
Necahual nodded and started to walk up the stairs, the figure was still unseen but she didn't need to see the one who spoke, for she knew what the Guardian looked like, for she was Necahual's mother. "Come along." She would say to Mutke and Georgiana who were standing still, they looked to each other and whispered, but made no move to catch up. Turning her head to face her mother's retreating form she continued on.
Noticing that their mother wasn't going to wait for them, they ran forward with all haste, they didn't want to get left behind in this strange place. When they caught up with their mother, it was noticed that a light blue light began to illuminate the hall in intricate lines. Yet they still couldn't see who their mother was following.
The trio was led into a great hall where a giant chair (which looked more like a bed) made of stone lay, every light was lit, greatly illuminating the large room. In size it was large enough to hold over seven hundred men, at best. It had large pillars, stretching from floor to ceiling. Despite the old and decaying outward appearance, the inside looked as new as it could ever be. There were deep burgundy draperies by the chair, flowing down and over the sides. As the cubs looked to the moving form their eyes widened, it was a Jaguar, but not just an ordinary jaguar, it was pure white. The only part of her body that had color was her dark pink nose and paws, and her blackened muzzle. Her long slender form looked ageless in the light, but what was possibly the most shocking of all, was her eye color, they were a very light violet, she did not have pupils. And to the cubs she looked almost like a ghost. True enough she was old enough to be considered a ghost, for a Guardian, unless they are killed they will never die. Yet eventually through some happenstance, the Guardian started to only be born every several hundred years. The current Guardian, Casablanca, was over nine-hundred years old. As Casablanca moved to the chair, she climbed upon it and laid down. Her ever capturing gaze was upon the trio before her, never blinking.
"So," the Guardian began. "Tell me, what do you plan on doing Necahual?"
"I'm going to get him back." Necahual stated.
"How? You can't just have these two girls tag along."
"I know, that's why I'll leave them here with you."
Casablanca seemed to ponder this for a moment, looking from the cubs to Necahual and back again. "Alright. I'll take care of them. But if you say he was captured by the priests, you'll need to get him back soon, you know this."
"I know. I'll get to him within the month, before they start to do anything too horrible to him." Necahual replied. Her green eyes started to glow.
"As my successor, you need practice. Go now."
"Yes, mother." And with that she turned to her cubs, licked them on the heads and started to head out. Her eyes filled with determination. She would bring him back, make no mistake about that.

SOUTH WHITLEY GRASS: Ordinance moves closer to an end
SOUTH WHITLEY — For two months, South Whitley Town Council members have been debating the issue of grass. Yard waste and grass clippings have been traditionally picked up and disposed of by the town. However, the increasing amount of debris as well as the time it is taking for town employees to collect the waste has caused town leaders to reevaluate the town's policy on such a service.Town Manager Dave Wilkinson has spent several weeks researching what other towns and municipalities offer in the way of yard waste removal to its residents. He reported to the town council Tuesday night that he learned no other neighboring towns offer such a service."I would lean toward having the residents put their grass clippings in their trash containers," said Councilman Bill Boggs. "Then it gets disposed of when the trash is collected. Now, if there is no room in their trash containers, I think we should offer residents the chance to dump their clippings at Hagan Park."To read the rest of this story, see the July 1 issue of The Post and Mail.

Dooney Earns All-Ivy Honors
NEW YORK, N.Y. - The Bulldogs competed at the 70th annual Ivy League Heptagonal Championships at Van Cortland Park on Friday and finished seventh with 160 points. Although the Bulldogs had set their goals higher, sickness among several of the runners prevented them from racing at their potential.
The men's 8K race kicked off at 12:15 p.m. in mid-50 degree weather ideal for running. In his first appearance at the conference meet, sophomore Conor Dooney made the second All-Ivy team by placing 13th with a time of 25:50.2. Junior Jeff Perella finished not far behind in 19th place in 26:00.2, followed by junior Max Walden in 47th place (26:49.9) and sophomore Nathan Richards in 48th place (26:52.4). Sophomore Jake McKenzie came in 58th place (27:03.7) to round out the Bulldogs' top five.
Head coach Dan Ireland said he was impressed by the performances from Dooney and Perrella, but the fact that several other runners were sick during the race hurt the team's overall score.
"The other guys tried, but they were just sick," Ireland said.
Dooney ran with the top pack throughout the race but said he might have pushed a little too hard at the beginning.
"I was about eighth with about 300 meters to go, but a couple people passed me in the last 200 meters," Dooney said. "But it was a nice feeling to run with the top of the league."
Columbia narrowly defeated Princeton for the men's title by one point with 60 points, withstanding Princeton's bid for a fourth consecutive championship. Dartmouth and Cornell tied for third place. Harvard's Dan Chenoweth, who made All-Region last season, ran away with the individual title in 25:09.2.
Even though the Bulldogs feel like they could have ran better at Heptagonals, they remain optimistic for next season.
"(Almost) everyone who ran Heps this year will be back next year," Dooney said. "We will do better next year."
The Bulldogs next compete at the NCAA Northeast Regional Championships on Nov. 14., hosted by Boston University at Franklin Park in Boston, Mass. The top two teams and the top four individual finishers automatically qualify for the NCAA Championships on Nov. 23 in Terre Haute, Ind.

The word "sludge" may evoke many images, from broken pipes to soupy sewer drains, though the image of a field covered in the stuff may not immediately come to mind.
But that's exactly the aim of a permit up for reissuing, which would allow the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities Department to continue applying treated wastewater sludge to farm properties in Lancaster, York, Chester and Fairfield counties.
"Sludge" is a term used to describe sewage or wastewater that has been treated in sewage treatment plants and sometimes spread on vacant land.

Hi Angela--
Thanks so much for your nice comment! I'm brand, brand new at this, and it felt like the equivalent of moving to a neighborhood and someone bringing over a plate of muffins! :) Let's see, I think you asked how old my kids are? Three girls, 5, 8 and 10 (all will have birthdays this summer-- ack!). Your kids are slightly older, right? I'm loving starting to work again (feel like I'm rediscovering a long hidden side of myself) but am finding it a bit difficult to "change hats". Do you work out of the house?

Hi Angela,
I saw you are stressed today - is everything ok? Hope your day gets better!!!

It is difficult going green with the family. Have you gone green with your household products yet, like laundry soap, toothpaste, cleaning supplies, etc.? I did, and I gotta say, my house doesn't smell like my two st. bernard's anymore. Plus, we are healthier. I'm not breaking out in hives anymore or any of that stuff. Check it out. www.melaleuca.com. It's awesome stuff, and very affordable. It doesn't cost anymore than going to Walmart or somewhere. My family actually likes it all, too. By the way, the dog will probably like it, too.

Hey, I know exactly what you mean about not having full cooperation when it comes to going green. My husband is really coming around, but when I first started talking about it, you would have thought that I killed his dog.

I just orders some acer ceramic bearing's for my summit and I heard ceramic are weak, is that true? Acer said they are shatter proof I am confused lol
will hold up or break in the hub carriers??
Thanks tyler

some have good luck with the bearings some dont i've heard people shatter them in bulkheads, hubs and stuff so for the price you paid you might get lucky, i am going to avid bearings when i need replacements as they are better than traxxas bearings IMO as i have shattered too many of their bearings that were ran no more than 2 times in hubs.
Living life.
ceramics are smoooooooooooooooooth. run them in the revtech 13.5 in my traxxas srt, as well as my novarossi cx12 in my rc10gt. its not that ceramics are anymore/less durable, its that they are smoother and if well built, can handle higher rpm's.
had a full set of ceramics in my srt but after burning most of them up (the track clay just wrecks them) ive pretty much just gone to cheapo 99c steel boca bearings in that along with all my cars, still have misc traxxas/ associated/ etc in various cars but ive mostly given up on high dollar bearings. the way i figure, whats the point?
Vintage TRX collector|Florida Dirt Oval racer
Ceramic bearings really aren't the best choice for off road vehicles (or any application where they are exposed to dirt and debris. They're definitely smoother and capable of handling higher RPM's than steel bearings though. I used them in a few of my big block nitro motors and they lasted considerably longer than the standard bearings.
Hmm okay. I got them specifically for my transmission all were rusted and wore out and sloppy or gritty. I got a whole set for 89 dollars. I will try them in the hubs to worst think is they break right? I will maintain them on a regular basis and stuff I was gonna get steel ones but I had a horrible time getting rusted in steel ones out so I decided I would try these. They should work fairly good in the tranny right??

Full ceramic set's are well over the 89 price tag for the one's you bought. They are ceramic ball's inside a SS race. I run Boca yellow's they are ceramic ball's and SS race's. I paid 100 for 2 set's. Gotta love the birthday discount of 50%.

Ceramics are great for high RPM applications. The 3.3 engine goes to 36,000 functional rpms, so using cerfmics bearings there and in the CB as well as the tranny would eb an advantage, however for the wheels and the diffs, and the output shaft of the tranny the RPMs you obtain are a lot less and I don't think you will see an advatage using cermics over another good quality metal bearing...
I use Avid Revolutions series on my wheels and diffs in their metal form, they have 1 rubber seal 1 metal shield, this makes them very efficient. You just face the rubber seal towards the dirty side and the metal shield towards the clean side... This has been my best experience with them and boy do they make a difference...
By doing this all at once I was able to gain an extra 2 laps out of a tank of fuel on the track... That tells me right then and there I am getting better efficiency... It was the ONLY change made in 1 week in time and the weather was the same... Same fuel etc....

For me to order the set was cheaper than 10 bearings at my LHS so that's the main reason I got them. And it's not that I want to gain lots but to gain a little bit would be a bonus for me!
Thanks for all the replies

I know I pay $1.00 per bearing on average for the Avid Revolutions steel bearings... But well worth it since I have put easily 14 gallons and not a single bearing failure...
You will be happy with your purchase that's for certain... The information I am posting is also for other's to read who might be considering this...

Never used any Avid bearings, but I put a full set of Boca green seals in my T4 back in '08 or '09 and haven't had a single issue to date. That truck was raced on a weekly basis in mod truck with a 7.5 Novak and has since been used a couple times a week on our new backyard track with a Trinity 13.5 setup.
The green seals cost a bit more than $1.00 per bearing, but I'm pretty sure I've gotten my money's worth out of them.

Ag Secretary Vilsack to tour Iowa DuPont facility
March 29th, 2013 by Ric Hanson
JOHNSTON, Iowa (AP) – U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is in Iowa to announce a new agreement with DuPont that the USDA says will promote renewable energy and conservation. Vilsack will tour a DuPont crop sciences laboratory Friday before announcing an agreement with the company that the Agriculture Department says will "strengthen conservation practices, while promoting the sustainable production of renewable feedstocks for biobased energy."
DuPont is building a $200 million ethanol plant in Nevada. It's designed to break down cornstalks and other crop residue to produce ethanol. The cellulosic ethanol plant is scheduled to begin production in 2014 and will be the nation's largest plant of its kind, making 30 million gallons annually. DuPont is working with 500 farmers to collect more than 375,000 tons of corn waste annually to feed the plant.

UVM Receives Record Number of Early Applications
- 01-02-2013
- By Jeffrey R. Wakefield
UVM received a record number of early applications for the fall of 2013, 11,672, a nine percent increase over last year. Students submitting early applications had a November 1 deadline with a notification of admission by mid-December. UVM's early application option is non-binding, meaning that students have until May 1 to make their college choice.
"This wasn't a big surprise for us," said director of admissions Beth Wiser. "Our admissions staff were seeing large numbers of students interested in UVM during visits to high schools and college fairs last spring and this fall. The feedback about UVM has been very positive by students who have visited campus this summer and fall."
Under the leadership of new president Tom Sullivan, UVM also made a commitment to waive the application fee for all early applicants this year as a small symbol of reducing the cost of applying to college. This practice has been in place for many years for Vermont residents and for selected out-of-state students.
There was some feeling that applications would be down this year based on the impact Hurricane Sandy had with the closing of schools and electricity being out for extended periods. Wiser explained that her staff were very flexible. "We extended our November 1 deadline to provide students additional time, and we worked closely with the high schools staffs to receive student credentials in order to complete the file for review."


text: "It is not an editorial problem," Fareed Zakaria, a former editor of Newsweek International, told the Times last week, for an article about Newsweek's decision to abandon print and go all-digital. "It is a larger business problem." I'd argue it's both. I subscribed to the venerable newsweekly in March, curious about what new editor Tina Brown had done to revive the moribund property. My first issue was the talked-about Mad Men issue, with its retro ads and art design—which I liked! And I was impressed by the expose about aging Boeing jets. But my opinion of the magazine soon soured. Here's five examples of why—and I won't even mention the asparagus fellatio cover, Obama with a rainbow halo, or MUSLIM RAGE.

What would someone with an applied science in modern web development do?
Would they work on the algorithms for applied science in a server side language like php?
Would they work in python/c++/haskell or something like fortran and hook into php?
I'd like to help, but I need some further information.
Note: I looked up this degree on google and the last result on the first page was this submission.
English I
Intro to computers (or waived) (CIS 100)
Programming tools (Github, IDEs, StackExchange, JIRA)
Intro to Programming Logic (CIS 104)
Algebra I
English II (tech writing)
Project Management (software)
Web Development I (HTML & CSS)
Interpersonal Communication
Databases I (re-visit & modify current offering)
Web Development II (Javascript & jQuery)
Cultural Anthropology
Introduction to Unix (CIS 140)
Web Development III (node.js, MVC frameworks, e-commerce)
Capstone Project
The problem I see with that is that you don't have enough tech.
You have 5 courses that I would consider "electives". English I and English II being examples of such.
You have 5 "intro" courses.
Which leaves 3 stages of web development and 1 stage of database
Which leaves a basic math class and a project class. Dump the math class. If they don't have it already they can make it up outside of that program. Add another database class.
Also dump the "programming tool
Chances are those classes you think should be dumped are required by the certifying authority for this to qualify for an AAS.
A class on Algebra? Again, make it a prerequisite to the program. Use the slot to add another database program.
Many of the classes will be for people new to programming, so programming tools, etc. will be needed.
They won't be much use outside of a programming class. So don't spend time on them by themselves. Teach the IDE and github or whatever within the class itself.
The idea being t
You would give up the limited time for teaching needed information in the programming class to teach the tools.
If the tools take that much teaching then you've chosen the wrong tools. They should be 15 minutes at the most (with a handout on how to install them).
Knowing how to set up a web server is not important. Almost all the web programmers I have worked with couldn't set up a server and never needed to because there is someone like me whose job is doing that.
At which point you're getting into the "magic
English I and II are almost certainly required by any accredited school. Most accredited schools also have a humanities requirement, so Government and Anthropology are not unreasonable.
I would consider Algebra I a remedial course, so I agreed, replace it.
I also agree the programming tools class can be covered in other classes, including Project Management (Software).
Move Intro to Unix to the first semester. Or maybe second, if Intro to Computers is needed. This will give them a foundation for the suggested
You have 5 courses that I would consider "electives". English I and English II being examples of such.
Far too many comp sci grads think basic language skills is an elective. It's not.
Also dump the "programming tools" class. They can pick that up in their programming classes.
Meaning they will learn the bare minimums to get their programming assignments done. No, these are worthy of their own classes.
Add a class on basic web server administration. Install Apache and add modules and read logs. Install IIS and
And to add to that... a course on security implementation / threat mitigation / etc.
review XSS, cookie attacks, login systems, etc...
Or they might learn to build the next Hadoop/Cassandra/etc.
There's nothing wrong with running a trade school. But "associate of applied science in modern web development" is a bit much. Still, you can now get an "associate degree" in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning. [vistacollege.edu] No classes in thermodynamics, but training in useful skills including brazing, soldering, and plumbing.
Of course the US and UK systems aren't exactly parallel, but it seems an Associate is on a par with a British HND. You can get those in all manner of things, mostly practical/vocational. One of my schoolmates did Hotel Management & Catering, another did Surveying & I knew a handful of people at University who were allowed to join straight into the second year by having them.
The fundamentals never change. With a solid base, there is nothing a programmer can't do.
An AA program focused on what will get them hired today is exactly what will not get them hired tomorrow.

That is true. And so many of us are thankful we learned the fundamentals and principles because we have had really gainfull and fulfilling careers because of it. But not everyone is like us.
There are a lot of people who don't want to / cannot learn the fundamentals. But since they have been told the only path towards the middle class is to go to a 4 year school they will enroll and either drop out, flunk out, change majors, or graduate being barely competent in what they studied. And they will most lik

... [wait for it] ... VAX Assembler.
You would never have been able to get a job at the Dyson factory with that on your CV.
The fundamentals of modern web development would be things like configuration management (including source control and deployment strategies), load testing, separation of content from presentation, accessibility, and so on. If you have a good understanding of these, you will remain relevant in the web development workforce long after we've moved away from HTML and JavaScript.
I agree, but this doesn't mean they need a full bachelors degree. I know you didn't say that specifically, but it kind of sounds like you are implying it. A class for each of the following topics would create a very employable web developer IMHO:
Intro to programming - teaching the very basics in a language like Python
Data structures and algorithms - one class can give a good enough to give an intro to data structures, sorting algorithms, etc.
Intro to web development - teach HTML, CSS, and Javascript
I work in a company writing online billing software. We use Perl and Ruby. We don't need people who know quicksort vs. bubble sort - we need people who understand browsers, and AJAX calls, and JSON, and business logic. I never touch anything more complicated in math than basic algebra.
Javascript, CSS, and something other than PHP are what you need to know, with a leavening of SQL and XML. Screw all that CompSci crap - we don't use it in 99.9% of our code.
Screw all that CompSci crap - we don't use it in 99.9% of our code.
It's not whether you use it in your code.
CompSci teaches you the fundamentals that AJAX and JSON and such are built upon. That way you know what the alternatives are and what their strengths/weaknesses are.
I never touch anything more complicated in math than basic algebra.
So you never program in an OO or functional language or use a database?
A Bachelors of Arts in anything scientific generally implies that you're not going to get enough exposure to anything you'll actually be doing, much less an associates. So sure, if you want to develop a program that teaches things they could pick up for $20 out of a book and make your college thousands, then 'Associates of Applied Science' sounds perfect.
A BA in a science means one of two things.
1. You went to a school that offered a BA in science subjects as a certificate of attendance for those that spent 4 years studying a science but never got any of the 'science' or 'math' parts.
2. You went to a school where the humanities control things. They don't like the _fact_ that BAs are second rate to BSs. So in the places run by the basket weaving departments, they just give 'bachelors' degrees or sometimes BAs in all subjects.
A Bachelors of Arts in anything scientific generally implies that you're not going to get enough exposure to anything you'll actually be doing,...
Or else that you went to Oxford University (for example) which doesn't award a Bachelor of Science degree:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D... [wikipedia.org]
(And Oxford still managed to produce 5 physics and 11 chemistry Nobel prize winners.)
I'd mod you up, went to CC transferred and got my BS in Math and minor in CS. CC was also humbling, generally a learning experience all around.
not a education in the principals of their field.
That would be my concern with this vocational degree. Would you know enough to be productive? For those types of jobs, yes. But would you win one of the limited number of positions available? Less likely.
This is the basic conundrum driving much of the college debt crisis - being qualified for a job doesn't mean you will get one. So i
Even half assing you way through a CompE degree is tough.
Almost all that attempt it will funk out and end up in CS. Especially if you skip the 'Fluff' you will never get to the specialized stuff in an engineering program. The first two years of CompE are almost all 'fluff' as you define it.
#1 Do you mean planning and implementing a sever base? From customer requirements, backup provisioning, security and obselecense planning, servicing and reliability infractructure
#2 Do you mean using a MS based GUI to stuff a toolkit based web site onto a cloud service server?
There are several worlds of difference between #1 and #2.
You will want a lot of backed-off stuff to teach historical-to-modern flow.
Historically, CGI and SQL were used. Some files on disk stuff, executable programs, etc. Executable programs gave way to scripts like Perl and PHP.
In modern times, raw SQL has been transformed into stuff like Python SQLAlchemy. CGI, being too slow--it takes longer to load/unload the interpreter (or even a C executable) than it does to execute the work--has given way to FastCGI, and then WSGI. Straight markup and scripting ha
Just trying to figure out which version of which browser supports what subset of CSS is one of the greatest puzzles facing mankind.....
This assumes 'web development' refers to web-based applications, not just informational webpages.
This is likely to be an unpopular opinion to many, but I don't see the huge barrier here.
I've been working as a software developer for nearly 20 years now, going from games programming to business apps to web development and machine learning. In that whole time, I can count only a small handful of times when I've ever had to exhibit mathematical skills more complex than trivial algebra. Oh sure, in college, they made me write my own compilers, I had to write my own vector math routines for my ray tracer, and so on, and I consider these valuable learning experiences. However, in the real world, where I'm employed and make money, I use software libraries for those sorts of things.
When it comes to data structures, the languages of employers today, java and c#, provide me with the majority of structures and optimized-enough algorithms to manipulate them. I don't have to do a big-O analysis and determine if my data patterns will be better served by a skip-list than a quicksort, because we just throw memory and cpu at that anyway!
The point is, if you spend 1-2 years learning to write software - not computer science theory - you'll be ready to enter the workforce. Sure, you're not going to be someone creating those frameworks, you're not going to be an architect, but you'll be able to use them. A few years of real world problems and google at your finger tips, and it's likely you'll have learned enough to start tackling those harder problems.
Here's a list of what I'd prioritize before computer science theory, in regards to employment:
- Proficient in SQL and at least one database type
- Familiar with IDEs, source control, bug/task trackers, automated builds and testing, debugging tools and techniques.
- Ability to work in a group software project.
- Exposure and participation in a full blow software development life cycle (SDLC) from reading, writing, evaluating requirements, coding, debugging, QA, unit testing, the oft-overlooked documentation, etc. Include at least something waterfall and something agile-ish.
- Expert with HTML & CSS, javascript, and awareness of javascript libraries and frameworks.
I don't think I need to explain the value of any of these, and these practical concerns trump high level concepts like discrete mathematics or heuristic design for the entry-level developer.
As far as effort involved to usefulness ratio you have it right-- SQL is very easy to learn and immediately useful. I have recommended it to business folks that want to dabble in programming- thinking in terms of sets is pretty easy for most people to understand.
It's lucky an associate degree is only two years then. By my lower maths and unsophisticated algorithms that leaves 3 years to be on the job, learning while earning.
Sure, bricklayers don't learn many things that architects and civil engineers do do. But then architects & civil engineers don't learn all the things bricklayers do either.
It doesn't have to be math heavy
Prince George's Community College [pgcc.edu] (PG County, Maryland) offers a lot of certificate programs, including ones on 'Computer Graphics' and 'Web Technology', that can be expanded into a AAS in IT (which would require you to take some programming courses, even if concentrating graphics)
Take a look at the pages numbered 116 to 124 the PDF of their 'programs of st
Data structures (and associated algorithms) is the most vital part of a programmers learning. If you had a good data structures course (and coursework) you are set for life.
And also data structures should be taught in a language with POINTERS (C or Pascal are the usual picks). I don't care if you are teaching a 10 year old, if you don't teach pointers you might as well be teaching Basic.
You don't need to go VERY deep into the subject, B-trees and such are probably overkill for your aims. But the kids need t
Such a degree, if it were to exist, should focus NOT on the basics of CS, but on good design.
1) Do cover human factor engineering principles and techniques. Include lab work to do usability testing.
2) Do cover the basics of good design (perhaps a joint Art department effort).
3) Do cover the foundations of programming, but using several web focused languages. C/C++/Algol and friends are wonderful, but you have limited hours.
4) Do provide an introduction to computer security. Chances are it is folks in the backend that need to focus on it, but security holes can occur anywhere.
Good luck.
When I was in college, one of my computer science professors told us that everything he was teaching us would be obsolete by the time we graduated. However, the concepts behind what we were learning would be valuable our entire career. Sure enough, I've never used the exact code in the exact language he taught us, but the generic concepts behind that work in almost any language I program in.
Think of the revenue stream. Every 5 years they have to retrain.
Please mod parent up.
First of all, what I have seen in my past 25 years is that, schools teaching science or technology are really bad at it.
For the following two reasons:
1) Web is moving really fast. If your school isn't working with a industrial company, what you will teach is crap.
2) Experience. Knowledge is good, experience trumps knowledge. That is why you have to pay attention to what you teach. If it does not teach experience, then it is a waste of time and money.
Every student should be interned or working on a open sour
As part of our mission is to turn out employees immediately ready for the work force, is teaching knowledge-based careers as a vocation appropriate?
So... what are the employers in your area asking for?
I'll suggest working with the top 5 employers who want what you're contemplating and enlist their guidance; let them drive the skills they want to see (also, ask them how they'd like to see those skills be tested and/or demonstrated, so your students will have an easier time meeting their prospective employer's requirements).
Also, iterate often - track the placement + feedback of employers that do hire your students so you can find out what works well,
Our local state college has numerous AAS/AS degrees, these are generally designed to teach a skill more advanced then high school that you can make some use of.
The AS in computer information technology has a lot of room for specialization, allowing students to select from a large range of in-field electives in this topic such as:
Website Development, Introduction to E-Commerce, Web Animation, E-Commerce Design, Multimedia Programming, Java Programming, Web Programming, Introduction to Computer Programming, A
The vast majority of web development positions need a guy who can select good Joomla components and write some bits of glue code, tweak some CSS here and some jQuery there.
Not the guy who thinks he needs to invent his own sorting routine every afternoon, and then brag about how his interfaces are so abstract that nobody, not even he, can figure out what the heck they are supposed to do
Things are not as simple as they seems at first. - Edward Thorp

After three years, the city grants a building permit allowing $9 million in repairs to begin on a cracked slab in the Sarasota high-rise condo building.
After more than three years of planning and nagging doubts about whether it would ever again be inhabited, Dolphin Tower's condominium association has received a building permit and begun $9 million in structural repairs required after a key concrete support slab mysteriously cracked.
"I am amazed that they have started working and I am delighted," said owner Annette Leinberger, who has lived primarily in Cape Coral since the 15-story condo tower was abruptly evacuated in late June 2010.
"If I hadn't just had hip surgery, I would be dancing," added Leinberger, who had lived for 18 years on the building's 14th floor with a view of Sarasota Bay.
The crack in the building's 2-foot-thick, fourth-floor concrete slab, which holds up Dolphin Tower's 117 residences, was so unusual that it baffled engineers and drew national attention.
It also forced many residents to sell units at discounted prices as repair time estimates lengthened and repair costs escalated. Each unit owner will pay in excess of $100,000 toward the repair bill.
Work has begun to grind down the top concrete layer of the fourth-floor transfer slab, so named because it shifts weight-related stress from the units it holds, said Hytham Bakr, whose Sarasota firm represents the association.
From there, new and stronger concrete will be poured on top of the slab to secure the building, which turns 40 years old this year.
All of the repairs should be done by mid-February 2015, Bakr said, adding that owners should be able to reoccupy the building by the end of June 2015 — almost five years to the day from when it was evacuated by city order.
But the work on the slab isn't the only structural repair the 101 S. Gulfstream Ave. building will undergo.
Additionally, crews will strengthen Dolphin Tower columns after engineers discovered that the building lacked side-to-side stability in the event of heavy winds. Because of this, the renovation plan also includes creating four new sheer walls to shore up the outer structure.
Concrete Protection and Restoration of Baltimore will serve as general contractor on the project, which involves adding six inches of new concrete to the existing slab.
The firm will also perform structural reinforcement of Dolphin Tower's foundation.
In addition, Concrete Protection plans to remove 10- to 15-foot wide sections of the building's exterior at a time, pouring in reinforced concrete to create a series of sheer walls.
Dolphin Tower association president Charlotte Ryan said that sticking to the $9.3 million budget would leave the condo group with a roughly $3 million in reserves and funds to pay for internal improvements, such as a new fourth-floor clubhouse, hallways and a fire alarm and sprinkler system.
Since the evacuation, Dolphin Tower's board has struggled to come up with an acceptable repair plan that would avoid tearing up interiors of corner units like Leinberger's or force ground floor stores facing Palm Avenue that adjoin the residential building to vacate.
Condo owners and nearby businesses said the saga has been both stressful and expensive.
"Initially all they were going to do is fix that one slab at a cost of up to $600,000," said Leinberger. "And then the time frame kept changing."
Instead, owners have paid $22,000 in monthly condo fees, plus special assessments of nearly $100,000 for consultants, attorneys and repairs, together with property taxes. Many were forced to rent residences elsewhere, too, that added to their expense.
For her part, Leinberger has given away most of her furniture, to Habitat for Humanity, over the past few years. But she stopped short of heeding a suggestion to remove the granite kitchen counter tops she'd installed.
"The shop owners and businesses are tremendously relieved that the new plans, for the very first time, do not require the businesses to relocate permanently," said Morgan Bentley, a Sarasota attorney who represents Dolphin Tower's Palm Avenue shop owners.
"Some of the businesses have been there for years and to have forced them to move would have just added another chapter to this disaster. Now we just look forward to a quick — and hopefully successful — repair to the tower," he added.
Many unit owners couldn't hold on during the prolonged exile from the building.
Ryan estimates 30 percent of Dolphin Tower's units have changed hands since the evacuation.
Buyers of those condos face the risk that the renovation might not be successful, be completed on time or that some new problem may arise, leading to further costs.
Realtor Larry Brzostek, of real estate brokerage firm Re/Max Alliance Group, has the listing on one of 17 Dolphin Tower units now on the market.
"We are asking $259,000, priced in the middle of the two-bedrooms," said Brzostek. "They are $230,000 to $265,000. And people will finally be able to occupy it sometime in 2015."

ATHENS, Ga. -- Finishing up a tough three-game road trip with a
72-46 loss at the University of Georgia Wednesday night, the
Tennessee Tech women's basketball team can now turn its full
attention to the Ohio Valley Conference schedule which begins
Saturday in Eblen Center.
The Golden Eagles (1-6) will host Jacksonville State at 5:30 p.m. in the first game of an OVC doubleheader.
On Wednesday, Georgia's Angela Puleo posted game-high tallies of 13 points, seven assists and three steals to lead the Lady Bulldogs (7-1) to the 26-point victory before a crowd of 3,042 at Stegeman Coliseum.
While Tech didn't have a lot of scoring in the game, what the Golden Eagles did have was balanced. Senior Blair Bowens led with nine points, Allison Price had eight, Jasmine White seven and freshman Krystal Stirrup six points. Tech shot 26.7 percent from the field and the two teams combined to miss 92 shots, and the Bulldogs had a 50-42 advantage in rebounds. Stirrup and White had seven rebounds each to top Tech.
"We played Georgia Tech Sunday and lost by 12 points, so we thought we were prepared for this game," said Golden Eagle coach Amy Brown. "We came into the game very hyped. It's an honor to play here. But no matter what conference you're playing, what they're ranked or who they are, you have to be ready to play.
"Our effort wasn't consistent tonight," she added. "We were doing well at times, but we just weren't consistent. We just came off the road, so we've played many games like Georgia has, so I'm sure both teams had some tired legs. Georgia is just bigger, they have more depth and they are very aggressive. We are short and quick and they are tall and quick, so that is the difference."
Christy Marshall also reached double figures for Georgia with 12 points, along with nine rebounds. Porsha Phillips added nine points and nine rebounds to help UGA coach Andy Landers to the win over his alma mater.
"Coach Landers was coaching when I played at Louisiana Tech and since Tennessee Tech is his alma mater, his picture hangs in our building," said TTU head coach AMy Brown. "I have always looked up to Coach Landers as both a Coach and a mentor. I always follow Georgia Basketball because they are a great team and have a great coach."
"Georgia is very athletic and big in size. And when you have those two things together you will be good. I mean, you have Ashley Houts at point guard and you have Marshall drive and Puleo on the outside, I mean, that starting five is good. I know they will have a great season and do well in the post season. I just hate we didn't give them a good game tonight."
Landers thought his team controlled the pace of the action.
"In the first half, we shifted gears and went up a speed on offense," Landers said. "We were playing faster, and that is certainly a good thing. This is the fastest we have played in four years. This is the best running team we have had in four years."
The Golden Eagles scored the first basket of the second half to pull within 15; however, the Lady Bulldogs responded with an 8-0 run and never allowed Tech closer than 20 points thereafter.
The lead topped out at 34 points (69-35) on a steal and layin by Jaleesa Rhoden with 5:32 remaining.
Georgia has now won five games in the last eight days by an average of 29.0 points per game.
Tickets for Saturday's OVC opener are on sale at the Athletics Ticket Office in Eblen Center or by calling (931) 372-3940.

Filed under: Capitalism, Democrat Corruption, Domestic Policy, Economy, Freedom, History, Immigration, Liberalism, Military, Politics, Progressivism | Tags: Green Jobs Redux?, Obama's New Job Training Act, Work Permits for Illegals?
President Obama has announced "The First Significant Legislative Reform of Our Job-Training System in a Number of Years: The 'Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act," which he signed into law last week. I remain skeptical. Our experience with green jobs, crumbling roads and bridges, or something like 45 or 50 federal job-training programs that were duplicative or useless didn't work out well.
The president tasked Vice President Biden with a review of our country's job-training programs to make sure that they have one mission; training our workers with the skills employers need, and matching them to good jobs that need to be filled right now.
About the time that Obama was boasting about all the green jobs his various green energy programs were going to create, I was getting some additional insulation for my attic. Obama had a lot of programs going to train people to better insulate houses. A little perusal of the phone book demonstrated that there were lots of small companies already selling insulation services, and hurting in a down economy because they didn't have enough work.
It turned out that there weren't all that many "green jobs"anyway, and when the government tried to list them, the list contained garbage truck drivers, bus drivers, accountants, all sorts of occupations that seemed a real stretch to call "green. Turned out the wind turbines and solar arrays were installed by factory representatives that did a one-time install and that job was over. All that remained was maintenance. And most of the green energy companies went bankrupt in short order anyway.
What has continued to bother me is the clear attitude of the administration that things like job training should be the province of the government. What do a bunch of bureaucrats who have never worked in the private sector know about job training? But there is this certainty that a program or a policy requires a governmental expert to devise the program and be in charge of the program. I have seen no evidence that most of the people in government are experts.
I labor under the conviction that there is very little that is done by the government that is well done or efficient or well designed, or even necessary. The government's number one job is national defense, and no administration has ever done such a bumbling job of it. Now they are slashing the military to the size it was before World War II!
We lost a lot of good men who tried to do battle with inadequate and obsolete equipment and waiting for trained replacements, quite specifically because our government was unready and unprepared for war. In 1933 the Army of the United States numbered 137,000 men, 16th in size in the world. The French army was 5 million. In 1940, Hitler invaded France. U.S. conscription was reinstituted and by Pearl Harbor, Dec. 7, 1941, the army had grown to 1,640,000. With our entry into WWII, the army expanded to 8,300,000— not very well trained and poorly equipped, but the Arsenal of Democracy was just tuning up.
"The bill I'm about to sign," [Obama] said, "will give communities more certainty to invest in job-training programs for the long run." He added that the bill will help bring those training programs into the 21st century by "building on what we know works based on evidence, and based on tracking what actually delivers" for those who enroll in the programs — more partnerships with employers, tools to measure performance, and flexibilities for states and cities to innovate and run their training programs in ways best suited for their particular demographics and particular industries.
The problem is the conviction that government must do it all, that government is full of wise experts who will direct the ordinary folk:
Before the signing, the Vice President presented the President with the "roadmap" he asked for in the State of the Union — on "how to keep and maintain the highest-skilled workforce in the world." The report highlights successful job-training programs, details executive actions by the federal government, and aims to help more Americans in getting and moving up in high-demand jobs and careers.
Most colleges and universities do a poor job of preparing students for employment. Most community colleges try to have good occupational programs, and there are lots of vocational schools around. Are they all ineffective? Can the federal government do better? I doubt it.
It's my experience that a growing economy produces jobs, and when the free market is set free, it starts growing. Business today is hampered by a swamp of regulation. Every time Obama wants to expand, they are swamped with new rules, red tape, new expenses, and new costs for doing business.
Today comes news that Obama is planning "something dramatic," "very significant" executive action on immigration by summer's end. US Rep. Luis Gutierrez expects" 3 or 4 maybe even 5 million covered by executive order. Some are expecting granting the ability to apply for work permits. This would be a typical Obama move, with one hand starting a new "jobs program," with the other — making illegal aliens eligible for jobs. That's the kind of thing he has been doing for 5 years.
The specter of thousands of unaccompanied children, mainly from Central America, crossing the Texas border has increased a sense of urgency among the American people for reforming the immigration system despite inaction by a "broken Congress," Dan Pfeiffer, the president's deputy communications director told the Christian Science Monitor. That gives the president "broad permission" to take action, said Pfeiffer, adding that Obama is consulting with Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Secretary Jeh Johnson to be sure his planned action will on "solid legal footing" and have maximum impact.

It is my belief it is a matter of bad coding. I have mono apps that loads in approximately .3 seconds (gedit takes 0.7 seconds). I have mono apps loading in 9 seconds.
I have C++ applications loading in .3 seconds and others takes 2.5-3.0 seconds. And eclipse takes 22 seconds. The only kind of applications that tend to take quite long on my system is Java applications. They are always slow to load, but quite fast after that.
It is not the language but the code - except for special situations (like directX in Windows - native C++ is much faster than .Net or mono).

Craig Gentry had an infield hit that produced two runs and later hit a two-run homer as the Texas Rangers beat the Boston Red Sox 5-1 on Saturday night.
The Rangers broke a 1-1 tie and went ahead to stay on the speedy Gentry's infield hit in the fourth. He added his first homer in the eighth.
Alexi Ogando (3-2) pitched into the seventh inning for his first victory in five starts and the AL West-leading Rangers (19-11) clinched the series against the Red Sox (20-10), who still have the best record in the majors even after losing the first two games.
Ian Kinsler hit the first pitch thrown by John Lackey (1-2) into the left-field seats for his sixth homer this season, and 28th career leadoff shot.

Reds come out swinging to pound Giants again
By JANIE McCAULEYAP Baseball Writer
Mesoraco had a three-run homer among his three hits for his second longball in as many games, Joey Votto and Zack Cozart also connected, and the Reds pounded the San Francisco Giants for the second straight game with a 9-3 win Tuesday in the opener of a traditional doubleheader.
"We've got some hot bats," Mesoraco said. "Ride it out as long as you can. You want to go out there and put up as many runs as you can, especially early, and take a little pressure off the starting pitcher. That's what we were able to do the last two nights."
Cozart finished 4 for 4 with two RBIs and three runs to back Tony Cingrani (4-1). The left-hander was added to the roster as the Reds' permitted 26th player for the doubleheader. He headed back to the Arizona Rookie League after the game to fulfill the final five days required after being optioned previously to the minors. He is set to return and start Sunday for Cincinnati.
The Reds finished with 15 hits for 32 total in the first two games of the series.
"I go to Arizona tomorrow and I am starting Sunday," Cingrani said after his 118-pitch outing in which he also singled in a run for his first career RBI at any level of pro ball.
The Reds knocked Eric Surkamp (0-1) out after 2 2-3 innings in his first start since late September 2011 after undergoing Tommy John elbow surgery.
"I still have a lot of work to do coming back," Surkamp said. "I feel like I'm close. I feel a little herky-jerky throwing pitches."
Cincinnati batted last as the visiting team while wearing home uniforms in the nightcap, a makeup for a July 4 rainout at Great American Ball Park.
Pizza and sushi were delivered to the Reds clubhouse between games.
Cincinnati called up former Stanford right-hander Greg Reynolds, a native of nearby Pacifica, from Triple-A Louisville to start the second game against Barry Zito. It is Reynolds' first big league outing since a start Sept. 25, 2011, for Colorado.
Much like Monday night to support Bronson Arroyo's seven-hitter, Cincinnati came out swinging. A day after the Reds roughed up Tim Lincecum in an 11-0, 17-hit rout, they quickly took charge with a four-run second. After Brandon Phillips flied out, Cincinnati got four straight hits starting with Jay Bruce's double. Cozart hit an RBI single two batters later before Mesoraco's three-run drive to left-center.
He is 6 for 9 with two homers, five RBIs and three runs so far in the series, but the catcher didn't start Game 2.
"Coming off the All-Star break with those three days off, you're able to physically get better, mentally take a little break," Mesoraco said. "For me it's just being able to go out there and relax and be in a good position to hit. I've felt good with my swing here lately and I think it's starting to show."
Votto led off the third with his 16th homer and Cozart added a solo shot in the fifth.
Cingrani gave up five hits and two runs in 6 2-3 innings with two strikeouts and three walks. He allowed two or fewer runs for the ninth time in 11 starts this year.
Surkamp, who is from Cincinnati, was tagged for seven runs and eight hits. Manager Bruce Bochy then turned to Yusmeiro Petit, who arrived shortly before game time. He struck out seven in 5 1-3 innings of relief.
"It was awesome to be back out there. Surprisingly, I really wasn't that nervous," Surkamp said. "The last year's been a long year for me so it was exciting to get back out there. I was just leaving balls over the middle of the plate. In the first inning I was pretty much on the corners. In the second and third, just leaving pitches up over the middle of the plate and they were hitting them."
The Reds' bottom four hitters, including the pitcher's spot, accounted for 10 of the team's hits.
Cincinnati has won all five meetings with the reigning World Series champions after allowing San Francisco to rally from an 0-2 deficit to win the NL division series matchup last October. The Reds have outscored the Giants 34-6 this season.
Notes: Shin-Soo Choo had his career-best hitting streak for the Reds snapped at 16 games. ... Cincinnati played its first traditional doubleheader since Aug. 24, 2011, at the Marlins. ... The Giants designated for assignment RHP Hunter Strickland to clear room on the 40-man roster for Petit, whose contract was purchased from Triple-A Fresno. San Francisco optioned RHP George Kontos to Fresno a day after he threw a career-high 63 pitches in 3 1-3 innings. ... San Francisco will visit President Obama in the White House on Monday to celebrate the franchise's World Series championship from last fall.

Even though Pemberton enjoys being off the beaten track, its dining certainly is not. The Pemberton Valley offers a bounty of fresh fare and artisan food.
Pemberton Village offers Mexican, Japanese sushi, Chinese and Italian fare as well as good take out and catering services.
Mount Currie Coffee House in the Village Plaza is the place to pick up organic, specialty javas as well as made-from-scratch baked goods, paninis, breakfast burritos and salads. If coffees are killer great, then soups are just as amazing, based on whatever Valley produce is in season. The atmosphere here is easy country-urban; there's free Wi-Fi access and a bunch of ever-changing local art pieces on display.
A long-time Pemberton Village hangout, the local paper consistently rates The Pony (1392 Portage Rd) 'best' in various categories that range from "Best for People Watching" to "Best Value", "Best Staff" and a variety of others. When new ownership upped the ante mid 2009 in terms of vibe and food, it's sure to hit a Grand Slam of awards the next time around.

The Pony chefs have married their posh-dining experience with local flair and a menu selection that pushes all the right buttons from Eggs Benny variations to stylish pizzas to sizzling kebabs. The Pony bar is wild on any hockey night and every so often, it also hosts jazz-groups.
Wild Wood (1436 Portage Rd, Portage Station) is another favourite. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, this comfortable restaurant is a good choice for families and group gatherings. Wild Wood also has three locations in Whistler: a café, a bistro and a tapas bar.
Both golf courses have quality restaurants, too. Away from designer-label Whistler, they are the preferred destinations for wedding receptions for price, food and views. The Black Squirrel at The Meadows Golf Course has an airy ambiance with surround-windows and a shaded patio overlooking the fairways; Fescues at Big Sky Golf & Country Club feels more casual and has a more intimate patio, mainly because of all the vine-covered rafters.
Grimms Gourmet Deli (7433 Frontier St) can put together some of the best picnic goodies for leisurely hikes, hair-raising adventures or meandering drives. If the latter, watch for U-Pick berry fields, orchards and farms selling fresh-picked produce for an accompanying salad, tasty dessert or take-home treat.
