KSP Strive to Reduce Summer Traffic Deaths by Stepping up Safety Checkpoints
Date of Photo Release: 05/29/2009
(Frankfort, Ky.) -- Experience tells us that warmer weather brings increased vehicle travel as everyone begins to enjoy the summer season. History also reveals that this increased travel will create a greater potential for collisions and fatalities.
"As we enter into the summer months, the Kentucky State Police (KSP) will step up our traffic enforcement activities with an increased emphasis on impaired drivers, speeders and seat belt infractions," said Commissioner Rodney Brewer. "The increased police presence will hopefully curtail the rising number of injury related crashes that we traditionally see during the 100 deadly days of summer."
As of May 29, 2009, a total of 309 people have lost their lives on Kentucky's roadways. Of those, 144 were not wearing seat belts and 69 were contributed to alcohol involvement. Preliminary statistics* indicate that Kentucky has seen a 4 percent increase in Motor vehicle fatalities compared to the same time period last year.
"The rash of fatal traffic crashes that have occurred over the last several months is nothing short of tragic," Said Lt. Col. Mike Sapp, Director of the Operations Division. "Crashes are often preventable, so we are asking motorists to slow down and drive defensively during their summer travels."
Operation Safe C.H.E.C.K. (Concentrated Highway Enforcement Checkpoints in Kentucky) is an enforcement campaign that KSP will roll out June 1st and run through Labor Day Weekend. The campaign will include over 1000 road checks statewide during this time period. KSP will utilize collision data to target specific high-crash locations in each post area where high visibility checkpoints will be held.
"Operation Safe C.H.E.C.K will remove impaired drivers from the road - but also important are the number of personal contacts that will be made," said Sapp, who will oversee the summer checkpoint project.
"To keep traffic moving, some vehicles are permitted to pass without screening while others are randomly selected for inspection. KSP Posts will be directed to keep traffic moving smoothly at checkpoint locations to limit delays," added Sapp.
In addition to removing impaired drivers from the road, other violations will be addressed, such as expired tags, driving without insurance and general vehicle safety operating violations. Checkpoints have also been key in apprehending drivers with suspended licenses and fugitives.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting impaired, erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll free hotline at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should provide a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.

This is not crazy, sexy or cool: Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins of Atlanta's TLC last month filed for bankruptcy protection for a second time in less than a year.
Watkins, 41, entered a similar bankruptcy protection filing with the United States Bankruptcy Court of Northern District of Georgia in February. It was dismissed the next month.
Her attorney Peter Bricks Monday declined to comment.
TMZ broke the news. We looked at the Duluth resident's bankruptcy filing and gleaned that her problems are not exorbitant spending but a relative lack of income:
- Her total assets are $1.716 million, mostly her property. Her liabilities total $768,642.99, mostly her mortgage. (Her claimed assets in her February filing were $1.892 million and liabilities $742,258.52.)
- The filing says her monthly income is averaging $11,700, $1,200 from royalties tied to her days with TLC. Her estimated monthly expenses are $8,821, $5,170 of that from the mortgage alone. But in 2011 through the end of October, she reported her income from employment or operation of business totaled a mere $14,000.
- Her property is worth $1.2 million, the documents say. She owes $740,470.03. Cash on hand? $1,000. Various household goods are valued at $100,000. Clothing: $75,000. Jewelry: $20,000. Exercise equipment: $2,500. Three vehicles (a 2001 Escalade, 2005 Odyssey and 2006 Mercedes Benz CLS 500) worth a combined $45,500.
- She is claiming Mark Jefferson owes her $22,500 and her ex-husband Mack 10 owes her $250,000 in child-support payments. (She has an 11-year-old daughter with Mack 10.)
- She valued ownership of various companies and royalties at a mere $1 apiece.
- She is in arrears $105,000 on a $577,000 primary mortgage and $3,400 on a $153,000 second mortgage on her home. She owes $8,284.75 on her Honda Odyssey and $2,850 on her Mercedes.
- She conducted two estate sales in September and October 2011 and pocketed $11,000.
Since her February filing, she has increased her mortgage load from $704,548.52 to $740,470.03 on October 31, 2011.
Watkins has suffered from major medical problems over the years. She has suffered from Sickle Cell Disease and in 2006 was diagnosed with a brain tumor, which has been treated. In 2009, she appeared on NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice." She lasted six episodes and raised $20,000 for the Sickle Cell Foundation of Georgia.
She filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection, which enables people with regular income to develop a plan to repay part of all of their debts.
According to Zillow, her home is six bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms and has 9,654 square feet. It values the home at $960,100, significantly less than what Watkins claims in her filing but more than what she owes with her two mortgages. It was built in 2000 and last sold on October 9, 2011 for $1,122,700, according to Zillow.
According to Lexis/Nexis, she was living in Woodland Hills, Calif. as recently as October, 2011 but has owned her current Duluth property since 2001.
She put the house up for sale for $1.25 million in September, 2009 but withdrew the property for sale a year later, according to Zillow.
Watkins and her TLC mates in 1995 files for bankruptcy protection as well but that was when the group was generating a huge amount of income. At the time, Watkins' sickle cell problems had forced the trio to cut short a tour.

Why would you put her childs name on the internet ? Shame on you and your gossip
November 28th, 2011

Only in the Atl,people have no business trying to live in a 10,000 ft home,drive a Mercedes Benz,that come from her background.
She is uneducated,grew up in a 1000 sf home.Like many others around here who are obsessed with flossin,this is the end result..
Do people who wanna be somebody so badly know how stupid they look trying to floss ?
People that live a simple life,live in smaller homes,drive paid for cars,are so much happier.
She's a nice girl,maybe she'll become humble now.
Good to be humble.
November 28th, 2011

Just another dumb musician that squandered millions. Get a hint. Do you really need 3 vehicles and 2 homes?
November 28th, 2011

She need to move in one of these foreclosed homes for $70,000. She can can manage on what she has. She just needs to downgrade a bit.
November 28th, 2011
6:30 pm
What am I missing here? It says her monthly income is $11,700, and her monthly expenses are $8,821. That means she has $2879 after all her bills are paid. Or is that income gross not net? Either way I feel bad for her. It would seem that she has been through a lot. Shame her babydaddy can't man up and pay his child support.
It's amazing she lived past 30 according to doctors. In most cases with these "celebrities" I would say who cares, but it doesn't seem like she's the typical Hollywood/music industry scumbag. Good luck girl.

I agree she should move into one of these forclosed homes and try to maintain one of these. When the money is not flowing like it use to a person has to make cutbacks, even if that includes your residence. If she is owed that much in child support she needs to take that joker to court cause getting evicted from your home is not cool when you have kids. Mack 10 needs to pay up even if it is in installments.

Things happen and that's that. The woman has been dealing with a serious illness for some time and can't work like she use to. Bankruptcy is NOT a bad thing like it use to be. At least she took action to fix her financial issue. TBoz I pray that things turn around for you. This is only temporary and you will have fresh financial start. I've seen people who filed bankruptcy and ended up better off than most people who haven't filed. If you were an ordinary person people would say "so what?" I hope everything works out in your favor. God Bless!!

TLC is the best selling female act of all time but what's sad for her is TLC like Tony Braxton and others on the LaFace label had bad bad bad recording contracts.In the music business if you dont write songs,own publishing or produce the music you end up like this.All of the TLC money is going to Dallas Austin,LA Reid,Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds because they wrote and own the music.I wish her well,she is such a talent.
November 28th, 2011

No one is exempt from financial troubles. She is doing what most people in her position would do, and it's nothing shameful about it. She comes off to me as someone who wants to live a low profile, regular life. Now whether her current income situaution will allow that is another story, but she's definitely not balling out of control. This is the sad part about being a public figure….everyone gets to know all your biz…. I wish her the best….

She is very humble. I met her at the Publix in Duluth a few years back and she spoke and talked to me like she had knew me from years ago. I'd worked there at the time and I asked her her name and she said Tionne. I was expecting T-Boz, but to my surprise, she said her real name and not trying to act like she was above me or anyone else that worked in a grocery store. Keep your head up Tionne. If you keep walking you will make it through this ordeal! Much love for you

What is it with all these rappers that make millions, squander it all, and end up filing for bankruptcy? Is it poor education, poor choices, a background of financial ignorance? And where is this bum male rapper who refuses along with many other men of his ilk to pay child support? What these women need to do is start throwing these men in jail for not paying their child support. There needs to be a sea change in that culture of making babies left and right and walking away from being a responsible father.

I'll never understand why celebs don't buy things out right when they have the money. If you are making $15 million a year, why don't you just buy a $500,000 house and OWN it? Not owe a bank. And pay for your cars CASH?? Not saying this is her case, but this is something I've never understood. Any "wealthy" person care to enlighten me?
November 28th, 2011

That song "scrubs" was a mean- spirted song, like the gold diggers athem. I hope she gets mercy. But the meanest one is that LiL black as.s. one. He, he, he….

8:59 pm
@pryncess…I'm with you…I just don't understand why celebrities, athletes, and others with a lot of money buy a house with a mortgage or a car with loan payments…please can someone wealthy explain this to the working class so we will know what do you when we get a large sum of money….inquiring minds want to know…
November 28th, 2011
9:21 pm
It just shows how ignorant people are, the internet really exposed so many of them.
First off all this woman has Sickle Cell where she is receiving on going treatment which cost MONEY, she was diagnosed with a Brain Tumor that had to be removed and she was out of commission for quite some time and required rehab so that she could go back to her normal life. So how much do you think her medical bills are and also do you have Sickle Cell and a brain tumor see well you function in society to make money. She couldn't do shows because of it. So all of the money she squandered most likely went on medical bills.
Maybe that is the reason why you stay in the working class because y'all of no common sense to do anything better

FIRST RULE when the money flows..KEEP A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD…for all the money she made MORTAGE should be a bad word!!!!..SECOND RULE…PAY OFF ALL YOUR BILLS…FINAL RULE..BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR MONEY!!!!..cause a river can run dry at any time!!!!
November 28th, 2011
9:40 pm
@Dee & @pryncess…"why celebs, athletes and others don't buy things out right when they have the money?" The answer is simple, they truly do not have enough net cash for property ownership (vehicles/homes) after: 1. Uncle Sam – Gets his share first (40-50%), 2. Agents/Managers get his/her share (10-20%), 3. Reimbursement Operating Expense (10-20%) which leaves them with around 10% to purchase nonvalue/depreciating items (bling-bling, drugs, party, etc). Yeap, it is what it is of this industry which also explains why the divorce and bankruptcy rates are so high. Good luck.
November 28th, 2011

atlien, maybe you should look up what "squandered" means…I don't think that is the right word to use when speaking of medical bills…

Come on will these people never learn to pay as u go. She is bnot so high and mighty that she should be excused for her negligent over spending. Her fault let her credit go in thevdump and have to suffer. To bevhonest never even heard of her and I'm from Atlanta.

We all have to rmemeber that MEDICAL BILLS are most likely what is kicking her butt just like Toni Braxton. Chilli had the same contract and yet she hasn't file bankruptcy. Im sure Chilli has invested her money alot better and had better business ventures then T-boz.Also with Chilli having a baby daddy who STILL makes A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY and isn't a DEADBEAT LIKE MAC 10 helps also! I WILL BE PRAYING FOR HER.

@pryncess, atlien was referring sarcastically to those upthread who said that she squandered her money. He mentioned where she probably spent a good chunk of her $$$.
November 28th, 2011
11:01 pm
Pryncess: I'm not wealthy, but was a real estate agent. The reason "wealthy" people don't buy homes outright is for the major tax breaks. It doesn't benefit them to lose the break on the property.
I agree, she should downsize and probably could find a similar home at half the price in this market. However, once you've filed bankruptcy you either have to see it through to the end, file chapter 7 to discharge everything (based on definitely not having the money to pay your debts at all), or allow foreclosure in which case the mortgage company WILL come after her to pay the difference of what they sell her house for and what her original mortgage was.
It's not as simple as let it go and go buy another becaue a lien can be attached to that too and she probably wouldn't be able to get another mortgage. Maybe she should lease a home while she figures it all out and save her money.

Dear Rodney Ho.
Get a life. Why is this news? People file for bankruptcy protection everyday! Why do you feel the need to put this person on your blog? What is going to happen when your employer finds out you can't find a single relevant thing to write about? My guess– you'll be filing bankruptcy. Can't imagine you'll find employment right away–with THIS as your writing sample.
Shame on you!

Are you serious? Did he have to put all of her business out there like that? Rodney Ho, you need to get a dahm life and stop putting peoples business out in the open. She may be a celebrity but she is still human. We all have problems in one way or another and that is including you. How about this, next time you put someone's business out there in the open how about you include yours.

It's people like you who wish to spread persons business all over the media instead of reporting something worthwhile.

I love this comforter! I went back online to see if I could order another. We live in Florida and my husband likes the AC turned down low so I finally decided I needed a down comforter. It was only for me so I bought a twin not considering my two Papillon dogs who love to get under it too. I needed one I could wash because I have 4 cats as well as the dogs so I really love this one. It's washed at least once a week and sometimes more often and it is just like new. It's wonderful and warm enough, however the queen size would be better for all of us not including my husband ! I hope they decide to get more of these because I didn't see any other that are lightweight and washable.

You should go with your gut when you're...
Why: If you're good friends with a married couple and one of them is having an affair, do you tell the other spouse? "Moral judgments are a combination of intuitive gut reactions and reflection. Without your gut, you'd make arbitrary decisions," says Fiery Cushman, Ph.D. (c), a researcher at Harvard University.
The strategy: When faced with a moral conundrum, weigh the practical facts but heed your inner monologue for the right decision. (Discover the trick to making better decisions.)
Why: Doctors often overlook symptoms that don't fit with the usual model of a disease and often dismiss fears as paranoia, especially in healthy young men, says John Amory, M.D., an associate professor of medicine at the University of Washington.
The strategy: You're the only person who can "listen" to your body. If it's telling you something's lurking, Dr. Amory recommends finding a specialist outside your primary doctor's group. It just may save your life.
Why: In a Michigan State University study, expert chess players performed as well in "blitz chess" (a 5-minute version of chess) as they did in the traditional game. The takeaway: Overanalyzing won't improve your performance.
The strategy: On a test or in a game, the choice that feels right is often correct, says Paul Slovic, Ph.D., president of Decision Research, a nonprofit group that studies human judgment and risk analysis. "That feeling you have is your intuition checking up on your analytic thinking." (Learn when should you trust your instincts.)
You should go with your brain when you're...
Why: If the potential hire is agreeable and funny, your instincts are wired to choose him over an aloof candidate who's more qualified, says David Myers, Ph.D., author of Intuition.
The strategy: You can't completely avoid your impression bias, but you can control it with structured interviews. Set questions and scaled ratings are three times better at predicting on-the-job success than informal talks, according to a study in Psychological Bulletin.
Why: When it comes to money, your gut is often influenced by the herd mentality, says Myers. Take equity funds backed by subprime loans. By definition, these are investments in borrowers who are poor risks, yet plenty of people raced to buy in — and now they're paying for it.
The strategy: Reason and analysis should guide most of your investing, leaving only a small window for hunches (economists agree some intuition is wise). But ignore the frenzied pack — and all things subprime. (Get more cool life tips like these delivered straight to your inbox when you sign up for our FREE Daily Dose newsletter!)
Why: You want to believe her when she says she'll never cheat on you again. But studies show that past performance is the best predictor of future behavior, despite what your gut is telling you.
The strategy: When a flaky friend asks for yet another loan or your girlfriend says she's finished catting around, pack up and walk away. Your intuition to trust them in the past was faulty, so fight your gut and don't repeat the mistake, says Gary Klein, Ph.D., author of The Power of Intuition.

Steel Coke Plants Inherently Dangerous, Some SayJuly 16, 2010 4:29 am | by Jennifer C. Yates, Associated Press Writer
PITTSBURGH (AP) — From the outside, a typical coke plant looks like something from a dystopian science-fiction movie: a maze of metal buildings, pipes, conveyer belts and tall smokestacks belching white puffs of smoke and steam into the air. Inside, there's danger seen and unseen: ovens that heat coal to more than 3,000 degrees, massive steel doors for loading the ovens, moving cars and chutes for coal, and gases that can cause cancer or ignite.

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Wayne's Supermarket Inc. for safety hazards at its grocery store in Mullens.
OSHA's investigation, which began in September in response to a complaint, resulted in $32,200 in proposed fines.
Investigators found 10 serious violations, which carry a $30,800 penalty, involving electrical hazards, exits routes that weren't marked appropriately and workers not wearing cut-resistant gloves when cutting meat, as well as the need to do a hazard assessment to determine whether workers need personal protective equipment, train employees on the use of personal protective equipment and powered industrial trucks, and provide them with material safety data for each hazardous material onsite.
In addition, the company failed to provide an eyewash station or ensure workers used eye protection when handling corrosive materials; provide portable fire extinguishers in all work areas, properly train workers exposed to hazardous materials on-site, complete a written hazard communication program, ensure guarding on the unused portion of the blade on the meat cutting bandsaw, and ensure usage of provided hand tools during meat cutting operations. A serious violation is one involving a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
Five other-than-serious violations, with a $1,400 penalty, include failing to maintain OSHA 300 injury and illness logs as well as guard overhead lights from physical damage. An other-than-serious violation is one that has a direct relationship to job safety and health, but probably would not cause death or serious physical harm.
"Grocery store employers are well aware of potential safety hazards facing workers while conducting day-to-day operations," said Prentice Cline, director of OSHA's Charleston Area Office. "Employers will be held legally responsible when they fail to identify and correct hazards that jeopardize worker safety."
Wayne's Supermarket Inc. has 15 business days from receipt of the citations and proposed penalties to comply, request a conference with OSHA's area director in Charleston, or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

AlohaCare's plan for QUEST members has been awarded Interim Health Plan Accreditation from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). NCQA Health Plan Accreditation is a nationally recognized evaluation that purchasers, regulators and consumers can use to assess health plans. NCQA Health Plan Accreditation is a voluntary review process that evaluates the quality of health care that health plans provide to their members. It evaluates how well a health plan manages all parts of its delivery system -- physicians, hospitals, other providers and administrative services -- in order to continuously improve the quality of care and services provided to its members.
NCQA is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to improving health care quality. NCQA accredits and certifies a wide range of health care organizations. It also recognizes clinicians and practices in key areas of performance. NCQA is committed to providing health care quality information for consumers, purchasers, health care providers and researchers.
"HEDIS" is an acronym for the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set, which is a set of standardized measures designed by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) to evaluate the performance of health plans. It allows for the assessment of health plans on the basis of quality and performance. Since its introduction in 1993, HEDIS has evolved to become the "gold standard" in managed care performance measurement.
AlohaCare is required to report the results of several HEDIS indicators annually to our State regulators, the Hawaii Department of Human Services (DHS), and our Federal regulators, the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS). By measuring HEDIS indicators annually, we are able to evaluate our performance achievements, monitor our quality improvement efforts, and identify further opportunities for improvement in our health care delivery efforts.

Charlotte, N.C. • The Charlotte Bobcats have hired Los Angeles Lakers assistant Steve Clifford to become their new coach.
Two people familiar with the situation said Monday that Clifford had agreed to a three-year contact.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Clifford replaces Mike Dunlap, who was fired after going 21-61 in his only season as coach.
Clifford has worked as an assistant in New York, Houston, Orlando and Los Angeles, but has never been a head coach at the NBA level. He has worked under both Jeff and Stan Van Gundy.
He becomes the sixth coach of the Bobcats since 2006-07.
The Bobcats made the move to hire Clifford on Monday, one day before he was slated for a second interview with the Milwaukee Bucks for their coaching vacancy.
Clifford came to Los Angeles with Dwight Howard from the Magic.
and was retained for the 2013-14 season as an assistant coach. However, the Lakers granted him permission to interview with other teams.
Prior to joining the Lakers, Clifford spent five seasons with Orlando, working alongside Stan Van Gundy. During that five-year span, the Magic were 259-135 (.657) and reached the NBA Finals in 2009.
Clifford also spent four seasons as an assistant with the Rockets under Jeff Van Gundy and three with the Knicks.
Jeff Van Gundy, now an NBA broadcaster, said he's known Clifford since they coached together at the Jim Boeheim camp in 1985 in Syracuse, N.Y., and called him "a person with impeccable integrity."
He also thinks he's going to be a pretty good NBA head coach because of the relationships he builds with players and fellow coaches.
"He's a brilliant basketball coach who relates to all kinds of people well and I think he will do an absolutely fantastic job with the talent at hand," Jeff Van Gundy said. "I'm so happy for one of the good guys in the league to get this opportunity."
Clifford has worked in North Carolina briefly before as an assistant coach for one year at East Carolina.
The Bobcats fired Dunlap in April after just one season.
Dunlap struggled with the transition from the college game to the NBA and game management. He often butted heads with his veteran players, which is likely one of the reasons the Bobcats decided to go after an experienced NBA assistant like Clifford.Next Page >

Zionist Puppet Bahrain Regime Court Extends Activist's Custody despite UN Outcry | Islamic Invitation Turkey
A Bahrain regime court ruled Saturday that prominent rights activist Maryam al-Khawaja be kept behind bars for an extra 10 days despite a UN call for her release, her lawyer said.
The Bahraini co-director of the Gulf Centre for Human Rights, who also has Danish nationality, was arrested on August 30 on arrival in Manama in connection with an alleged assault on a police officer at the airport.

Such events have become part of everyday life for the inhabitants of Donbass. Independent cameramen are trying to bring the truth to the Ukrainian and Western public but this is no easy task.
Firstly, it is very difficult to publish the videos, because internet connection is now a luxury for Donbass. The Ukrainian army has destroyed not only electricity plants but water pipes and gas lines as well.
Secondly, Ukrainian forces are arresting journalists and people making videos, and treating them as criminals. Kiev has unleashed a real war against freedom of speech. Any video or text criticizing the Ukrainian government is considered as "support for Donbass terrorists." Making such videos means risking your life or freedom.
This affects journalists beyond Donbass as well. The Security Service of Ukraine (the equivalent of the American FBI) pays regular visits to intractable reporters and throws them in prison with no scruples. Recently my empty apartment in Kirovograd was visited by agents of the Security Service of Ukraine. I was lucky enough to be in Russia but my neighbors were questioned about me.
The desire to smash any kind of resistance in the country has become an obsession of the Ukrainian authorities. The declaration recently made by the head of Ukrainian Officers' Union, Evgeniy Lupakov, where he said he wanted to hang the "Donbass terrorists" on street poles, is of utmost importance and direst foreboding."
Prominent Bahraini activist Maryam al-Khawaja was arrested after arriving in the island nation over the weekend.
Spencer Haskins's insight:
She is arrested only for being an Al-Khawaja! The Failed terrorist AlKhalifa regime is without any morality whatsoever!
Maryam al-Khawaja, who campaigns against abuse in Gulf state, charged with insulting king and assault on arrival.
The prominent Bahrain human rights activist and critic of the ruling family, Maryam al-Khawaja, has been arrested by authorities on her arrival at the Gulf state's airport.
Posts on the Twitter account of Khawaja said she had been charged with insulting the king, assaulting police officers, and faced charges for her involvement with the rights campaign, Wanted For Justice.
Khawaja, the co-director of the Gulf Centre for Human Rights, is the daughter of Shia Muslim activist Abdulhadi Abdulla Hubail al-Khawaja, who has been in custody in Bahrain since 2011 and is on hunger strike.
The Reuters news agency reported her mother Khadija al-Musawi as saying her daughter would be transferred to the public prosecution court on Sunday.
A later post on her Twitter account stated that she would be held for seven days and was not allowed to see a lawyer before her interrogation.
Khawaja, who has lived abroad for several years, had returned to Bahrain to see her father, who recently decided to go on a new hunger strike. Her sister, Zainab, had been released from custody on Friday pending further investigation.
...Al-Khawaja, a dual citizen of Denmark and Bahrain, has been in a Bahraini prison since 2011, serving a life sentence for demonstrating against the government and organising protests during the Arab Spring. Along with eight others, he was convicted on charges of terrorism and attempting to overthrow the government. While jailed in Bahrain, al-Khawaja has been subjected to torture, violence and sexual abuse....

NEW SMYRNA BEACH - Atlantic Housing Partners, developer of the proposed Causeway Landings apartment project, is going forward with a 239-unit apartment project on about 14 acres between the North Causeway and Indian River.
Atlantic Housing took another step last Thursday when it presented plans to the city in a pre-application meeting at the Brannon Center.
That wasn't good news for members of the New Smyrna Beach Citizens for Smart Growth, a fledging group being formed to help with creating a coordinated vision for the city.
In September, about 500 to 600 people, almost all opposed to the project, attended a meeting to voice objections to Causeway Landings as apartments, rather than condominiums.
A much smaller group of concerned residents were present Thursday.
Just prior to the meeting, Sally Gillespie, who is working with Smart Growth, said, "We have had a sense we needed to have greater citizen involvement in the governance of our community,"
She and Marty Danaher, another concerned resident, said they were hoping the Causeway Landing owners would work with an existing 2005 development agreement that approved 202 condominiums planned by the former owners.
Because of the economy the last few years, the former owners sold the property to Atlantic Partners, which has built similar rental projects in Central Florida.
Smart growth supporters, who were allowed to attend Thursday's meeting but not speak, sat in silence while representatives from the city planning, engineering and building departments, Utilities Commission, and city attorney looked over the plans calling for the 239 rental units and 10,000 square feet of commercial space, including 5,000 at a former Friendly's restaurant.
David Glunt of the Madden, Morehead and Glunt engineering firm, said the plans have four tower buildings connected on each of the four floors, with one, two, three and four-bedroom units.
The 2005 plans called for two six-story buildings with 202 condominiums.
Mr. Glunt said one building would be age restricted for those 55 and older.
City Planning Manager Gail Henrikson said some changes, such as the number of parking spaces, could require an amendment to the 2005 development agreement.
Much of the discussion Thursday was technical, including a storm water management system and placement of water and sewer meters.
Other agencies involved are the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, the state Department of Environmental Protection and the St. Johns River Water Management District.
Mr. Glunt said, "We are meeting their requirements for the project.
The next step is a Plan Review Committee meeting once an application is submitted. Ms. Henrikson said if the application is received by Nov. 16 and the Plan Review Committee meets on it Dec. 7, the project could be considered by the Planning and Zoning Board on Jan 7.
Marc Gautier of Atlantic Housing Partners estimated it will take 60-90 days even if the application is submitted this month.
After the Planning and Zoning Board makes its recommendation, two public hearings are held and the City Commission makes the final decision. If approved, it will be adopted by ordinance, Ms. Henrikson said.
But the Citizens for Smart Growth have already been to the City Commission last month to explain the goals of the Smart Growth group, submit petitions signed by more than 750 people and present 10 points they feel need to be considered by the city.
These points include examining existing agreements and "developing an aggressive action plan to correct any and all deficiencies that project to have a negative long-term impact on the city, its existing neighborhoods and property owners."
Ms. Gillespie and Mr. Danaher said foremost of the 10 points they propose is working with the city "to create, develop and implement a comprehensive, coordinated vision for the city and all its district communities and neighborhoods."¯
Ms. Gillespie said some of the Smart Growth group had been discussing for the past year "how to help the city but the recent North Causeway project solidified our determination."
"Over a year ago a number of us felt there wasn't an overall vision for the city,"¯ Ms. Gillespie said just before Thursday's meeting.
"Citizens need to be more involved."
"We want to be more effective with more participation in all parts of our community,"¯ Ms. Gillespie said.
She said she and others felt the city wasn't "focusing on our assets. We have so many things going for us in our community."

Three Personal Insurance Types Everyone Needs
Carrying insurance is not something that is meant only for business, cars, or other items you own. Insurance coverage can also help protect you, the individual, your family, and others from different types of hardship that is caused by an unforeseen nature. Here you will find this type of insurance is often called personal or individual insurance. This can even be broken down more and classified into various categories depending on the needs of the person. Listed below personal insurance information in various types.
Life Insurance
In this form of insurance, which can also be called death or life coverage, it is meant to cover in cause you die. This insurance will provide the family with some stability financially while they are burying you. The money from this insurance is usually paid out in a lump sum amount. Since this insurance is so useful, it is very sad that most of the life insurance that is held by 60% of Australians who have children is not enough to provide support for the children for more than a year after their death. This information is based on stats from the Australian Investment and Financial Services Association.
Life insurance may cover and sever to protect several different financial aspects of the family:
- removal of all the debt that may cripple the family's ability to live.
- help the surviving members of the family to live on the money that is provided.
- cushions the family from the medical, funeral, and even legal costs of associated with death.
- ability to get wealth sent to beneficiaries.
Permanent and Total Disability Insurance
Becoming disabled is something no one wants to have happen. However, it can happen and you have a couple of options available when this does happen. One is the government disability pension or a payout from a total and permanent disability insurance plan you have. The first option, the government pension, is typically not going to help you keep your standard of living, like you would with the insurance plan. A good example comes from the Australian Bureau of Statistics which shows that a normal adult in 2011 would earn 1,288.10 per week; where the disability pension for a disabled spouse, with children, was only $670.90 each fortnight.
With the insurance plan, you can get a lump sum payment, if you are not capable of working anymore due to illness or injury. With this payment you are guaranteed to be secure financially, since the injury or illness almost always requires medical care, which cost a fortune. Something else is this type of personal insurance will cover the living expenses most people have.
Income Protection Insurance
Keeping a steady flow of money coming in is a great thing to have. However, your income can be interrupted at times by an unexpected interruption. This is much like having insurance on your vehicle in the event of an accident. However, only 31% of the working Australian population has this insurance, compared to 85% who carry vehicle insurance.
The income protection plans cover you from a variety of items that prevent you from working such as illness, injury, or other issues that come up. Most of the time this insurance, when these events happen will pay 75% of your monthly income, for the time stated in the plan or until you are back wokring. Since you may be out of commission for an indefinite period, you will have these monthly benefits to help pay for all the regular bills each month, while you heal.
Each of these insurance forms help your family and yourself with any financial burdens that come up from unexpected events. Ultimately you get to rest easier financially, no matter what is going on.

text: High Desert Health System (HDHS) was initiated on July 1, 2003, with the conversion of High Desert Hospital to a Multi-Service Ambulatory Care Center (MACC). This change was one component of a comprehensive restructuring plan implemented by the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services in response to a projected budget deficit. The design of the High Desert Health System MACC was based on maintaining and expanding the outpatient services provided by High Desert Hospital and retaining the administrative, ancillary, and support services infrastructure to support the health system's network of four community-based clinics. The HDHS MACC is configured as two distinct entities. The former hospital surgical service has been restructured as an Ambulatory Surgical Center , and holds a separate license. The remainder of the MACC, including primary care and specialty services, is operated as a license-exempt primary care clinic.

Desværre, så sender vi ikke til dit land
Movistar Team unveiled their 2014 line-up at the company headquarters of Telefónica in Madrid earlier today. All riders and staff were present at the event, barring Italian Giovanni Visconti who is recovering after an operation on his broken tibia sustained at the Tour Down Under last week.
Canyon is the official bike supplier to Movistar Team for 2014 and the riders will be able to choose between the Ultimate CF SLX and Aeroad CF models for road stages with the Speedmax CF reserved for time trials.
After ending 2013 as the number one ranked team in the UCI WorldTour, Manager Eusebio Unzué made it clear at the presentation that the team wants to go bigger and better in 2014. The season already got off to the perfect start last week at the Tour de San Luis in Argentina, where Nairo Quintana and Adriano Malori won stages and Quintana walked away with the overall. With the number of races coming thick and fast over the next few weeks, be sure to keep one eye on the results for what will no doubt be a big year for Movistar Team and Canyon.

KSP Post 16 Receives New Crime Fighting Vehicle
Date of News Release: 03/27/2013
(Henderson, KY) -- Capt. Robert Shoultz (left), commander of Kentucky State Police Post 16 in Henderson, received the keys to a new Crime Scene Response Vehicle (CSRV) from KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer (right) on March 26 at KSP headquarters in Frankfort. The Ford Super Duty Truck is equipped with everything needed for on-scene crime analysis including a generator, trace evidence analysis and a latent fingerprint processing machine. The CSRV will expedite investigations by providing detectives with greater storage capacity and state-of-the-art tools to collect all possible evidence at the scene. This enhanced capability will assist in prosecuting criminals by providing additional visual evidence that will lead to stiffer penalties.
No public funds were used to purchase the truck. KSP utilized Asset Forfeiture Funds to acquire the $30,000 vehicle. These funds are from the sale of assets such as real property, vehicles, vessels, aircraft and jewelry that are seized by state, local or federal law enforcement during criminal investigations.
"Positioning these vehicles at all KSP posts will be a valuable asset to KSP as well as an additional resource for local law enforcement," said Brewer. Combining state and local resources, especially during difficult economic times, will provide the Commonwealth with more efficient and effective crime solving methods that will result in decreased criminal activity in our state."

Apple Underperforming and Down for the Count?
Margie is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
People, no less than renowned hedgie David Einhorn, have been complaining that Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is an underperforming stock, and needs to unlock value, which leaves me scratching my head thinking, "underperforming? What world are we living in?" Do we only look through a four month window?
Then I read a column I appreciated written by Maxwell Fisher of the Motley Fool "Are Apple's Glory Days Finally Over?" Of course, you can appreciate something, and not necessarily mean I fully agree with it.
Let's Explore
Einhorn stated, "People who have gone through traumas believe you can never have enough cash, and Apple has been through several traumas." What he's referring to is Apple's 137 billion in cash it has stockpiled in warehouses around the world, which, even electronically, to house that much cash would take several warehouses. The traumas refer to Apple nearly going out of business; Einhorn went on to compare Apple's management to his depression era Grandma who used to hang-up before his message machine would pick- up to avoid spending the few cents.
He proposes that Apple should start giving back cash back to shareholders by issuing preferred stock to shareholders which would pay out at a 4% rate.
Similarly, one commenter (EquityBull) congratulating Mr. Fisher on the insight of his column stated that if takes a lawsuit to get Apple to give some cash back to shareholders then that defines it as non-shareholder friendly, and as Mr. Warren Buffett advises being only in "shareholder" friendly companies, he decided to sell.
Are They Right?
Tough to say. Let's be clear, Apple did recently institute a dividend of $10.60 a year, a 2%+ yield based on current prices. While they create more free cash flow each quarter than they payout, I don't necessarily see this as a sign of being unfriendly.
Let's be clear, Apple could afford to pay more. That mountain of cash is just sitting there, earning next to zero, there is little doubt in anyone's mind they could pay out more of it, or start buying back shares which I think is the most likely scenario, especially with the current prices Apple trades for it might not be a bad investment. Also, based on current tax laws, to repatriate that money would be advantageous tax wise.
Onto The Competition
In his column, Mr. Fisher complains about Apple's recent lack of innovation, and rightfully states that Apple's high margins have attracted competition like honey does a bear. He predicts without new innovation margins will be hammered, as Samsung and others gives away lower priced phones and tablets.
First of all, in general I agree, but this assumes that Apple is just going to stand there with what it considers a pat hand.
I offer the following counterpoints.
- Apple will likely be introducing cheaper versions of the iPhone, saving money on the body of the phone (screen size and materials) to help grab some of this market.
- Innovation in hardware does take time. The iPad and iPhone were three years in development. During the conference call CEO Tim Cook did state that his super tight lipped company had some amazing things in development. Are we just all going to gloss over this statement because the wind appears to be blowing in a different direction? Does it really disperse such sounds so readily? Would a CEO of the world's most successful company go on record with such a statement in an attempt to sandbag investors? It's a fair question that I'm asking.
- Innovation does take other forms while we wait for the next WOW product we still see innovation under the hood, from better screens to battery life. Also, if one comes, given the three year development time, it very well could be a Steve Jobs brainchild. ### Counterpoint- My son's friend Peter, wonders whether without Job's perfectionism and artistry whether the product will have the same mesmerizing effect on consumers.
In the column, Fisher states that Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) will be getting into the smart phone biz, just as it did with tablets. This might be the case, but to do so the company has two choices-
- Develop its own operating system
- Use a forked version of Google's Android
Developing its own OS takes major resources, in a game that it is way behind in, if it is to do so, it will likely fork Android. The question is, how does Amazon benefit from this venture?
Do people consume content on phones? I have both tried to read books on my phone and watch movies. Even on my big screen Samsung it's just too small and difficult, and the smaller battery gets eaten fairly rapidly. Amazon developed the Kindle Fire tablet precisely to give people a way to consume Amazon products and get them into their own ecosystem.
I consume content using my auditory modality on my phone- podcasts, music, etc. While Amazon might be able to sell a few more mp3 downloads, I would like to understand where the profit would be for the company before I give into the idea that they will enter the smart phone market. They sell the Kindle Fire at cost because they believe they will profit by selling content and products to their tablet users. Will they profit to the same extent off of smartphones to justify the large cost of development? How will they, in an ultra-crowded market, convince people to adopt their offering?
Bottom Line
While the concerns raised for Mr. Fisher are valid, it is my analysis that this gloomy outlook assumes that Apple is, and will be, resting on its laurels. With the tremendous pile of cash they have (over 25% of valuation) and the low multiple, a lot of bad news is baked into the current stock price. I believe Apple is a good bet at these valuations, and I said just the opposite at $700 a share.
