Hidalgo County Drainage District No. 1 heard a presentation on the financing of $84 million in bonds for drainage improvement projects approved in the November election in their Tuesday, Jan. 22 meeting. The district board also approved a one-year extension of Godfrey Garza's consulting contract – valued at $122,400.
Cris Vela of First Southwest presented several possible financing scenarios for the drainage bonds.
He told the drainage district board the lowest point in a 20-year period for bond costs for entities with ratings similar to the HCDD was 3.27 percent in December of 2012. Costs are edging back up and the average cost is 3.53 percent.
The district increased its total tax rate by 22 percent in 2008 and by 42 percent in 2009 due to the issuance of bonds.
Currently, the drainage district is trying to finance $84 million of the $184 million project for the Raymondville Drain Project, the system acquisition, the La Villa Reclamation Project plus similar smaller projects. The voters approved the bond issue in November 2012.
Vela presented six scenarios for a 20-year, a 25-year and a 30-year financing or wraparound. With regular financing the district would immediately start paying principal whereas with a wraparound, only interest would be paid for the first few years and then the district would start paying principal at a point when it expected to have more revenues. However, it would end up paying substantially more interest in the long run.
With 20-year financing the interest rate would be 3.21 percent for a total cost of $117.2 million. The owner of a $50,000 home would pay an additional $11.90 annually while the owner of a $150,000 would pay $35.69.
With a 20-year wraparound the interest rate would be 3.47 percent. The total cost would be $126.9 million. The owner of a $50,000 home would pay an additional $10, while the owner of a $150,000 home would pay an additional $30.01 annually.
With a 25-year finance program the interest rate would go to 3.62 percent and have a total cost of $131.6 million. A $50,000 homeowner would pay $10.69 annually while a $150,000 homeowner would pay $32.08 annually.
With a 25-year wraparound the interest rate would be 3.69 percent. The total cost of the bond issue would be $134.9 million. The owner of a $50,000 home would pay $10.69 annually while the owner of a $150,000 would pay $30.86 annually.
For 30-year financing the interest rate would be 3.87 percent. The total cost of the bond issue would be $146.3 million. The total cost for a $50,000 homeowner would be $10.53 a year while the total cost to a $150,000 homeowner would be $31.58.
For a 30-year wraparound the interest rates would be 4.13 percent. The total cost of the bond issue would be $164.4 million. The annual cost to a $50,000 homeowner would be $11.12 while the cost to a $150,000 homeowner would be $33.37 annually.
The advantage to the drainage district of the 25-year wraparound is it would pay no principal or interest in 2013 and only $265,000 in principal and $5 million in interest in 2014. The down side is this option would cost taxpayers an additional $17.7 million in financing costs.
In other business, the commissioners approved a one-year extension of Godfrey Garza's consulting contract (Integ Corporation) at a monthly salary of $9500 base salary, $600 car allowance and $100 for cell phone. The drainage district does not pay his retirement or medical insurance. Garza said there were projects related to the old bond issue that he needed to see to completion. He would not be supervising any of the new bond projects.

South African Cinema: Hello Bafana
When South Africa made the quantum leap from apartheid to liberation, faced with the task of creating equal opportunities for a population of 40 million (the majority previously disenfranchised), the last moral and socioeconomic imperative was the film and television industry. Yet 20 years later, this sector is one of the fastest growing, and the country has an international reputation as one of the leading film destinations on the planet.
Credit here goes to government support, in the form of relatively rapid, robust and regularly revised incentives schemes established and managed by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), which identified important areas for government intervention. Current incentives include:
» The Foreign Film & Television Production Incentive, which offers a 20% rebate on minimum (qualifying spend) of $1.2 million and 20% uncapped on spend after that, and if spend is post-production, the rebate can go up to 25%.
» The South African Film and Television Production and Co-production Incentive, which aims to assist local film producers in the production of local content, offers a 35% rebate up to first $600,000 of qualifying expenditure, and 25% uncapped thereafter.
Nelly Molokoane, DTI's director of incentive administration, says, "These financial incentives are part of the South African government's drive to enable the industry to compete aggressively in the global marketplace."
According to government agency the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF), "The biggest labor intensive expenditure is in the production of films, and that trend will continue. There is potential for growth in post-production and distribution in terms of players as well as revenue."
Another source of funding comes via official co-production treaties -- signed and administered by the NFVF -- with the U.K., Germany, France, Australia, New Zealand, Italy and, most recently, Ireland. Since signing its first treaty in 1997 (with Canada), more than 87 co-production projects have been produced in this scheme.
Contributing significantly to foreign spend are local service companies such as Moonlighting Films, Film Afrika Worldwide, Kalahari Pictures and Out of Africa -- which have facilitated productions for major studios and nets. Recent production activity has included "Safe House," "The Girl," "The Familymoon," "Strike Back" and "The Good Lie."
Currently filming is Emmett/Furla's "SAF3" series, while cameras are about to roll on Phillip Noyce's "The Giver" and uber-South African helmer Neill Blomkamp's "Chappie." The Michael Bay exec-produced pirate series "Black Sails" is soon returning to its spectacular set on the Cape Town Film Studios lot for a second season. Recently completed is Samuel L. Jackson starrer "Kite."
For a producer seeking an offshore moviemaking destination, the country's vast menu of benefits includes a fantastic climate (14 hours of daylight in summer) with a location for any narrative. Until a year ago the only missing link was a water tank, and this was fufilled with financial investment of the DTI at the Cape Town Film Studios for "Black Sails" -- justified by that production's massive investment in South Africa.
Added to this are world-class post-production and sound effects facilities and equipment; the government's vital upgrade of infrastructure, with road and rail services updated to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup; and the skill and expertise of accomplished technical, creative and production personnel; not to mention critical budget savings due to the uncapped incentive, and an exchange rate of ten rands to USD$1.
There has been a marked recent growth in local productions, most prominently "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" (screening at the Toronto fest) the largest-ever local production on the African continent. Other local productions include Mukunda Dewil's "Vehicle 19" with Paul Walker, "Sleeper's Wake," Fanie Fourie's "Lobola," "How to Steal 2 Million," "Little One," and "Of Good Report." Soon to hit the circuit are "Nothing for Mahala," "iNumber Number" "Faan's Train" and "Winnie," but box office success is still led by South Africa's king of comedy, Leon Schuster ("Mr. Bones").
Apartheid-era segregation laws prohibited the majority of the population from access to cinemas and only recently, with the "born free" generation, has a real culture of local theatergoing started to emerge. Etana Film Guarantor's Paul Raleigh, (co-producer of the Oscar-winning "Tsotsi"), says the growth in local movies has prominently been in the indigenous Afrikaans language. Harriet Gavshon, producer of the Donovan Marsh-helmed "iNumber Number" (screening at TIFF) says, "We are still grappling with our history in so many ways. We won't really be able to develop a flourishing and sustainable industry until cinemas are where the majority of people are."
Gavshon adds: "The fact that we have an enabling state is very helpful. Without significant state support, the NFVF, the IDC and the DTI rebate, we would not have made 'iNumber Number.'"
Helmer Marsh adds, "I'm hoping that 'iNumber Number' will attract attention from international buyers and distributers at TIFF, allowing us to put the film into profit so that we can make the next 'Class Act' film as well as prove that South African films in vernacular can find a market overseas."

The forensic emphasis on detail that Fincher will bring to Gone Girl's minefield of ever-unfolding secrets may speak to the essence of this ambitiously far-flung cultural event.
The day before the release of The Zero Theorem, we sat down with the 73-year-old auteur and expatriate Python to discuss the film's many meanings and anti-meanings.
Wary as he may be about our conversation becoming too personal, some of the British actor's answers may reveal more than he's planned.
We spoke with Benson about his friendship with Jessica Chastain, whittling Him and Her down to Them, and that time that Malick handed him the camera monitor on The Tree of Life.
At this year's Toronto International Film Festival, we chatted with Korine about his commitment to 35mm film, the insufferability of record collectors, and the scourge of compromise.
Murdoch spoke to us about his songwriting rituals, preferring breakfast to the rock n' roll lifestyle, and things he believes he has in common with Quentin Tarantino.
The filmmaker spoke with us recently about the genesis of Love Is Strange and his feelings about love and New York City.
On a glowing August morning, he discussed his 20-plus film catalogue with an unsentimental acuity that betrays his age and a gentlemanly aplomb.
The great English actor's voice is a wonderful contradiction: rough and smooth at once, like sandpaper worn beyond use.
We wanted to exalt the most exemplary of the medium's virtues, whether they be richly emotional narrative experiences or invigorating bouts of tactile fun.
The filmmaker told me about not directing Joaquin Phoenix, his increasingly personal links to his films, and what he loves most about New York City.
As the actress recalls her early goals and ambitions, her memories mirror the themes of James Gray's The Immigrant itself.
The filmmaker admitted to us that Isabelle was a mystery to him—one he constantly tried to crack amid the process of making Young and Beautiful.
This is the film festival as cultural event, easily earning its reputation as a major happening for New York cinephiles of all inclinations.
She suggests a cosmic force manifest as she ruminates on immorality, lost loves and unsatisfied longings, fears and secrets, even fish and the Darkness.
The writer-director of Under the Skin shares a preference of viewing formal details as afterthoughts—elements that, fittingly, find their place as the whole takes shape.

Q: Are you ever treated like a scam artist, or like you are trying to pull a fast one when you use coupons? I am treated that way often at the stores I frequent, which is surprising after learning stores are reimbursed for our coupons.
I recently had a $1 coupon for a name brand of apparel. I had a package of this brand of underwear. When I gave the cashier the coupon she told me that the underwear did not match the picture on the coupon, which showed T-shirts, so I could not use it. Wouldn't you think underwear is apparel? Since I couldn't use the coupon, I didn't purchase the underwear. Do you run into these situations? If so, how do you handle them?
A: I'm never ashamed or embarrassed to use coupons. I think of my coupons as cash. They are cash to shoppers and they're cash to the stores where we shop, too.
Whether I use a $1 manufacturer coupon or another $1 bill, the store will receive $1 for that purchase, but I will spend $1 less because of that $1 coupon. That said, have I raised a few eyebrows in the checkout lane when I've managed to reduce a $130 grocery bill to $7 and change? Yes, I have.
I don't often have issues with cashiers but on occasion, everyone does. I always try to be as pleasant as possible when I hand over my stack of coupons.
It's important to note that I use coupons correctly. I don't use expired coupons at stores that don't accept them and I don't try to "slip in" a coupon for an item if it's not the correct size or type specified.
Following these simple rules of "coupon etiquette" can go a long way with cashiers, too, if they regularly see you in their store using coupons correctly.
Your $1 coupon for a certain brand of apparel likely would have worked not just on the T-shirts made by this manufacturer, but also on the company's underwear, socks and sweatshirts. It's a common misconception that shoppers are limited to the exact item displayed on a coupon. Not true!
Regardless of what product the photo depicts, the coupon's fine print will always detail which products the bar code will cover. In this case, because the coupon's text didn't specify a certain kind of apparel, the bar code was coded to work on any item from this manufacturer.
Where things can get really interesting is when a coupon's wording is ambiguous. I recently received a Catalina coupon after purchasing some facial tissue. The coupon stated, "$3 off your next visit to (store name) to help you plan and prepare for cold and flu."
Now, most Catalina coupons for a dollar amount off your "next shopping trip" have no restrictions on them; you can buy whatever you'd like. And, while it's likely that this coupon will scan on any order, the text stating that what I buy should "help plan for cold and flu season" leaves a lot of room for cashier interpretation! A cashier could state that I should use this on cold medicine, but in my opinion, chicken soup, orange juice, vitamins or even hand soap could all qualify as items that might help me plan for getting sick or staying healthy.
With a coupon like the one I just described, it's impossible to code a coupon that would scan on every cold-and-flu item in the store, regardless of brand, and exclude non-cold items. This text is a guideline for the cashier, but the bar code is typically coded to scan on any transaction of $3 or more in value.
Anytime I have an issue similar to the one you described above, I pleasantly ask, "Could you try to scan it? The register will let you know if the coupon isn't coded to work on this item."
That's usually enough to prompt the cashier to try to scan the coupon. Nine times out of 10, the coupon will scan and you'll be on your way.

UC Davis pepper-spray officer awarded $38,000
Joe Garofoli

|Email This
(10-23) 17:18 PDT DAVIS -- A former UC Davis police officer whose pepper-spraying of protesters gained worldwide notice thanks to a viral video has been awarded more than $38,000 in workers' compensation from the university for suffering he experienced after the incident.
Former police Lt. John Pike, who gained a degree of infamy for his role in the incident, was awarded the settlement Oct. 16 by the state Division of Workers' Compensation Appeals Board. The claim "resolves all claims of psychiatric injury specific or due to continuous trauma from applicant's employment at UC Davis."
The incident that resulted in the $38,055 settlement happened Nov. 18, 2011, on the UC Davis quad during a demonstration opposing tuition increases. On the widely circulated video, Pike is seen dousing protesters for about 15 seconds with orange pepper spray.
Pike was suspended with pay afterward. According to a database of state worker salaries, he earned $119,067 in 2011, the last year for which figures are available.
More than 17,000 angry or threatening e-mails, 10,000 text messages and hundreds of letters were sent to Pike after the video went viral, according to the police union.
Pike repeatedly changed his phone number and e-mail address and lived in various locations. He left the campus police force in July 2012.
In a statement, UC Davis spokesman Andy Fell said, "This case has been resolved in accordance with state law and processes on workers' compensation. The final resolution is in line with permanent impairment as calculated by the state's disability evaluation unit."
Earlier this year, UC Davis settled a federal lawsuit by paying $1 million to three dozen protesters who were pepper-sprayed.

Panel data analysis of dentists' activity under global budgeting in the presence of activityrelated non-response
AbstractThis paper evaluates the impact of the introduction of global budgeting on dentists' activity in Taiwan using a unique and rich panel dataset that was created specifically for the task. The panel data for 4424 dentists over 48 months, January 1997 to December 2000, was drawn from the BNHI's data warehouse. The dataset has approximately 66% of dentists who are not observed over all periods. The paper examines the existence and consequences of unit nonresponse on estimates of the response of dentists' activity to the introduction of global budgeting. It is based on the framework of selection on observables. We apply three techniques to assess the existence and magnitude of non-response bias: (1) probit models for non-response (2) variable addition tests (3) inverse probability weighting. The results show evidence of activity-related non-response. Non-response is concentrated among dentists with lower and unstable daily numbers of visits and with higher income. Non-response has substantial influence on the estimates of the mix of services provided to patients. The empirical results shed light on the emergence of a two-tier dental care system due to the introduction of global budgeting.

I have my sister-in-law Krissy to thank for this great recipe. She worked in a small specialty food shop in Woodstock, CT where they made this fresh black bean salsa during the summer months. People went nuts for it and bought it in quart containers. According to Kris, they couldn't make enough of it.
I agree it is a great recipe - it's easy to make, pretty economical, fresh-tasting, good for you, stores well, and is easy to serve.
It should be served slightly chilled or at room temperature which makes it even easier for a party.
This makes about 4 cups.
South-of-the-Border Salsa
- 1 - 15 oz. can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 - 15 oz. can of cannelloni beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 – 15 oz. can whole kernel corn, drained OR one 9-oz. package frozen shoepeg white corn, thawed OR about 1 1/4 cups fresh cooked corn on the cob, kernels removed
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- ½ red onion, diced
- 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Mix together above ingredients in large glass, ceramic, or plastic container.
Whisk together:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 2 T fresh lime juice
- 1 T sugar
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- ¼ tsp. salt
Mix dressing in with the bean mixture. Refrigerate at least overnight, stirring occasionally. Best if made a day ahead.
Serve with scoop-style tortilla chips.

It's that time of year again! Every season, right before showtime, we have a tradition at the office and I take my design team to dinner to celebrate all the hard work they've been doing in preparation for the show. So on Friday, we went to Saxon & Parole http://saxonandparole.com/ (they specialize in some serious aged meats.)
One of my girls Janey indulged in one of their specialties, bone marrow. While she sunk her teeth into the large bone, the rest of the girls weren't sure if they wanted to bark or stick the bone in their hair like Bam Bam, (direct quote from Steph, one of my designers.) All kidding aside, it's really delicious, especially when you spread it on bread. So if you're looking for a spot in the city to get some great appetizers, this place seriously rules. By far our favorite appetizers were the Foie gras, the Brussels sprout salad, and of course, the bone marrow.
Janey and her bone marrow.
Ready to dig in!
And the amazing meals continued throughout the weekend. On Saturday, I indulged in an amazing steak at Porter House, www.porterhousenewyork.com , and to top off the weekend, on Sunday I went to a tasting at the new Alison Eighteen, opened by my friend Alison Becker of Alison on Dominick with Chef Robert Gurvich, who have cooked many dinners at my house!
I had the braised veal shank, and the oyster stew, which were both so delicious. On that note…have you made reservations for Valentine's Day yet?

Mitochondrial myopathies facts*
*Mitochondiral myopathies facts medical author: Charles Patrick Davis, MD, PhD
- Mitochondrial disease includes a group of neuromuscular diseases caused by damage to intracellular structures that produce energy, the mitochondria; disease symptoms usually involve muscle contractions that are weak or spontaneous.
- There is no specific treatment for mitochondrial diseases (myopathies).
- The prognosis varies according to the disease type; in general, these diseases are progressive and can cause death.
- Research into treatments and other disease aspects is ongoing; there are several organizations devoted to understanding and treating these relatively rare disorders.

Plugin installed, what next?
I installed BuddyPress a few days ago with no issues (WP3.0, BP version 22.214.171.124). I'm using the BP Columns theme (v. 1.2). I imported 130 user profiles from Ning last night (using the importer plugin). There were a lot of images.
So today I installed the BuddyPress Album+ plugin without a hitch but how do I use it?
Am I supposed to see it in the menu as http://www.mywebaddress.com/album?
When a user uploads an image to their site does it become part of the album automatically?
Should I expect to see the imported images from Ning?

One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
City commissioners are discussing how to fund the future multimodal facility.
Commissioners have already held a public hearing to get input from residents. Four proposed sites are on the table. The cost ranges from $8.9 million to $11.2 million.
This comes after the company that manages a housing complex in South Albany asked city commissioners to cut their debt by 50%.
Officials with the Cutliff Grove Family Resource Center, which manages Nativity Village, says they can't afford necessary renovations and the reserves have been used up.
They currently owe $1.4 million and want to have that cut to $716,000. Commissioner Bob Langstaff said he wants to see other alternatives.
Mayor Dorothy Hubbard asked staff to do more research.

The list went from 25 to 4, and next week it will be narrowed down to just one. But before that, the public is given a chance to meet the finalists for Lincoln's open city council seat.
The final four are all Republican and all hoping to be nominated to fill the seat left behind by Adam Hornung who resigned for a new job.
Connie Hilligoss is the owner of Sign Pro. She's actively involved in the community and spends a lot of her time volunteering.
"I'm a TeamMate, I have served on lots of committees, I have done a lot of fundraising for a lot of organizations. So looking at sitting on the council is just that next step in service that I'm looking for," Hilligoss said.
Lloyd Hinkley recently retired from the real estate business after 48 years. He served on the council back in the 1960s.
"Although it's been 43 years since I served on the council, it's like going in the service. You just kind of remember everything. So I know the drill," Hinkley said.
Scott Stuart is a retired businessman who has always had an interest in government, unsuccessfully running for council back in 1993.
"I'm a community, middle of the road, let's do what's right for as many people in the community and the nation as we can," Stuart said.
Kristin Yates, who was unable to make the open house Wednesday, is a former attorney who now works as the Director of Institutional Research and Planning at the University of Nebraska.
From those four, the lists goes to one. And that person will only serve the remainder of Hornung's term because his seat is up for election in the Spring.
Council Chair Carl Eskridge and Mayor Chris Beutler will now agree upon one name to be forwarded to the full City Council for a vote. That will take place at their meeting on Monday, December 10.

Transition to a world without oil
Rob Hopkins reminds us that the oil our world depends on is steadily running out. He proposes a unique solution to this problem — the Transition response, where we prepare ourselves for life without oil and sacrifice our luxuries to build systems and communities that are completely independent of fossil fuels.

After the passing of journalism professor Conrad Fink a year ago, there's no one at the University of Georgia I know better than Jere Morehead. I think he's a terrific choice to be the university's next president.
Morehead was the head of the Honors and Foundation Fellows programs for my last two years as a student in them (fall 1999 to spring 2001). He not only turned around — quickly and with little fuss — these programs which had been divided and in somewhat of a state of disarray after a breakdown in leadership the year before he took them over. He also built lasting relationships with the students he advised: I've lost count of the number of my classmates' weddings where I've seen him in attendance. I do know the most recent one was in December, more than a decade after our mutual friend, the groom, had graduated. As a former professor, he has also, to my knowledge, been a good and respected friend of UGA's faculty.
Morehead has built these relationships by being good at asking questions, listening closely to the answers and, when there's a problem to solve, building consensus around a solution. These qualities will serve him well as UGA's president. I will be interested to see how he adapts to being squarely in the spotlight, as he inevitably will be on a regular basis as president. I'm confident he'll adapt well, even if he will bring a very different personality to the job than that of the man he's replacing.
Which brings me to Michael Adams, now entering his final months as president after a nearly 16-year run. Adams certainly has butted heads with some other big personalities at UGA; former football coach and athletics director Vince Dooley is the most famous example. I would expect Jere Morehead to take pains to resolve such conflicts before they erupt publicly — although university politics can be a bitter thing, I don't believe him to be naive enough to think others won't sometimes see a benefit in taking the grievances beyond closed doors.
In the end, though, it is hard to dispute Adams' legacy as one in which the university tremendously improved its academic profile, the quality of its student body and faculty, its financial condition, and its physical campus (with an impressive building boom, particularly during the past 10 years or so). Some people will point to the HOPE scholarship as the primary driver of many of these changes, and they have a fair argument to make. But it would sell Adams short to deny that he very capably capitalized on that external asset.
With the value of HOPE in a seemingly inexorable decline — as I've written before, this is true regardless of the different kinds of limitations one might try to put on it — one of Morehead's most pressing challenges will be ensuring that UGA remains one of the "best buys" in public higher education without eroding its attractiveness to some of the best high-school graduates in Georgia and the entire Southeast. Another will be seeing that UGA, as a trainer of many of Georgia's k-12 teachers, plays a significant role in lifting up that system and more of its graduates to the standards we've achieved in higher education. (Hank Huckaby, chancellor of the University System of Georgia, mentioned both of these goals during his remarks last week to the Legislature's budget writers.)
I look forward to watching Jere Morehead tackle those challenges as UGA's president.

Well said, Wingfield! Mr. Morehead deserves this role after all he has done for the University. At the Bulldog 100 dinner on Saturday, he announced this year's incoming freshman class boasted a cumulative GPA of 3.8 and an SAT of 1270. Granted Michael Adams was president for 16 years, but much of the academic success in Athens can be attributed to Jere.
January 29th, 2013
10:33 am
Michael Adams, the man who chose a bunch of drunks and cheaters to fill positions at his school. He hired a known cheater, Jim Harrick, because friendship trumped ethics for Mr. Adams. He pissed on a legendary AD, and then eventually hired a drunk to fill the position. He's on the wrong side of almost every issue, the academic achievements of the school are more to do with the Hope scholarship than anything Adams did (other Presidents would have done the same with the influx of money and better students)….
UGA will be better off without this unethical scum running things.

Where does this man fit on the political scale? It seems to me that Adams was pretty much a leftest. I know it is almost impossible to get a true conservative in higher education but more of a moderate is important for the lead university in this conservative state.

Don't let that selective condemnation flair up too much. That is unless you are as you say "incapable of learning"…….
Here comes the yips and yaps.
Kyle: From what I have read, appears that a good choice has been made. Adams did a great job. Hopefully Morehead will even do a better one.

Great day in Georgia, great day at UGA, welcome aboard, Jerry. Adams should have been fired years ago, a self servicing, sanctimonious, left wing jerk, who did at least as much harm as good, probably more. Kyle, says Jerry is a "good listener" and that is what a President should be. Adams was much like Obama, a person, who so believed he was right, that he did not suffer anyone or anything that did not agree with him explicitly. Hopefully, Jerry will follow Charlies Knapp and Fred Davidson and leave behind the divisive days of the recent past. Things are looking up at UGA.
January 29th, 2013

Adams was and is Republican. Was Howard Baker's COS, worked for Lamar Alexander, and ran for Congress as a Republican as well.

I think he is a great choice. While I was a business student at UGA, he taught the legal studies class I was required to take. He is one of the few professors I remember well. You could tell he really cared about the students, and he was gifted as a communicator and a teacher.

During a segment on Monday night, CNN's rising young star Erin Burnett took over two minutes to dissect the president's shooting claim — and she found it wanting.
"Obama the skeet shooter," she began. "Yeah, I'm not making this up. I mean, if someone is, it isn't me."
"So, now you're going to say you do it all the time, don't you have to kind of prove it?" she asked
Uh oh, we got some dissent in Moonbattica.
Hey Erin would ya like to come work at Fox News?
January 29th, 2013

Morehead has built these relationships by being good at asking questions, listening closely to the answers and, when there's a problem to solve, building consensus around a solution. These qualities will serve him well as UGA's president.
A true leader. Any chance he'd be interested in replacing our president?
Cats killing billions of animals in the U.S.–BBC News
Cats are one of the top threats to US wildlife, killing billions of animals each year, a study suggests.
The authors estimate they are responsible for the deaths of between 1.4 and 3.7 billion birds and 6.9-20.7 billion mammals annually.
Writing in Nature Communications, the scientists said stray and feral cats were the worst offenders.
However, they added that pet cats also played a role and that owners should do more to reduce their impact.
How do 'ya stop a cat from doing what comes naturally? I'm all for spaying and neutering but they're still gonna stalk and kill.

Cheesy–Apparently you missed the segment on PBS yesterday featuring Newt Gingrich and about 8 liberals on the Tavis Smiley show discussing education and the plight of the poor in this country. Newt made more sense than the 8 Libs rolled together. He even had Cornel West eating out of his hand before the segment was over.
Newt may suffer from various personality problems, but his care and concern for our country was on full display. I'd still vote for him today.

Not sure how it can be worked into the curriculum, but I'd be all for a "Life Success" course to help guide the kids toward a brighter future. Especially for the ones who don't get any such coaching at home.
January 29th, 2013
12:44 pm
Well, if Jere has any kids in school, remember that he is entitled to use money raised for UGA to throw lavish graduation parties for his kids (up to 10,000 per party as per Adams).
And, of course he can run any Athletic Director he doesn't like out of town.
And, he needn't live in the Presidents House on Prince Ave if he doesn't think it is up to his living standards.
And, he gets a free pass if any Basketball Coach he forces his Athletic Director to hire winds up getting the program on probation.
And…ulm…shall I continue?
Adams has left quite a record.

A Gwinnett County man is accused of shooting and killing a man who friends said pulled into the wrong driveway.
Phillip Walker Sailors, 69, of Lilburn, was booked into the Gwinnett County jail Sunday afternoon and charged with murder for the death of Rodrigo Abad Diaz, according to jail records and his arrest warrant.
Diaz, 22, was shot in the head Saturday night as he tried to drive away from Sailors' home on Hillcrest Road in Lilburn, the warrant states.

Edward R. Murrow,
You didn't mention the penthouse he purchased for UGA in Atlanta and the campus he purchased in Costa Rico, both later disposed off after it was obvious they were money pits. The Jim Harrick hiring I had forgotten about, that really brought shame and humiliation on UGA. I believe he personally also hired Jim Donnan, ponzi scheme manipulator.

I'd still vote for him today.
Me too, Bruno…me too!!!! He's a solutions guy.
Cats, at least, earn their keep. When it comes to rodents, cats are excellent exterminators.
You sound like my husband. He hates cats…I think it has something to do with their independent streak. He calls them "useless furballs".
"Well 'scuse me", I say. "Our dog, although I love him, has never brought us the first rodent." To which he responds…"He eats 'em rather than bring
'em to me for disposal."

"Not sure how it can be worked into the curriculum, but I'd be all for a "Life Success" course to help guide the kids toward a brighter future. Especially for the ones who don't get any such coaching at home."
Civics 101? We used to have such classes and then they went the way of the dodo bird.
It needs to have the basics…..how to open a bank account, how to write checks, how to address an envelope, compounding interest, why one needs to match an employers 401k contribution, etc……..

I don't know him but generally, one issue at colleges and universities is the tendency to revert to insular thinking. I think that times like these call for fresh blood and outside perspectives, rather than continuing the same old-same old. Oh well….

It proves just how extremely far right some folks in our state have gotten when Adams, a known Repoublican, is considered a leftist. Scary!!!

Mark Richt is a smart guy, they should give him the additional title of president and let him multi-task both jobs. The prez probably doesn't do all that much anyway. The proper emphasis would then be totally on the football program, which is all most of us really care about.

What's ur point, cheezy? The cops made the right call, it was murder.
Thats not what his lawyer says.
An attorney for Sailors told Channel 2 the man shot because he feared his life was in danger.
"He is very distraught over the loss of life from the defense of his home," attorney Michael Puglise said. "This incident happened late in the evening hours when he was home with his wife and he assumed it was a home invasion and he maintains his innocence.
I got a nickel says he gets away with it.

The cops got him locked up for murder, cheez it. Possession is nine tenths of the law.
What are you trying to say anyway, that there's something sinister going on in Lilburn?

"and its physical campus (with an impressive building boom, particularly during the past 10 years or so). "
Along with huge increases in tuition and fees. Especially fees. Good riddance with Adams.

Well, UGA, OK. But my heart lies at Georgia State where my little darlings acquired four degrees, everything from geology to business. That's the good place ( and nobody has ever heard of THEIR football team.) So mama mia…GSU is the live & learn place. MAYBE Mr. Morehead can make UGA as outstanding as GSU.

What im trying to say is that when you gun nuts think about having guns so you can defend your home from the boogeyman.
You romanticize it. Conveniently leaving out examples like the above.
Guns kill. Period

if you are still around, I was thinking about Newt when the blog was listing those who might follow Saxby. Newt would surely put a little zip and good sense in the null & void in Washington. The man is sharp intellectually.
He could also get together with Prez Clinton and talk about the good old days and ol' girlfriends. The media could go crazy AGAIN trying to run Newt down. At this point, I think he could care less. Putting all that aside, I do think Newt has something that Washington needs, and that is a good mind familiar with history and studied conclusions. .

By the way, do any of you feel sorry for poor Barbara Walters? Think of it! Probably the only 82 year old celebrty to come down with chickenpox .CHICKENPOX!! Of all things, there is just nothing endearing about chickenpox. Spots, scratching, watching the scars come up and all those fun things that have previously belonged to children. .
Goodluck, Barbara. May your polka dots be pretty and go away fast. And you may proudly say that you have set a new record in all kinds of ways.
Anyway: a pox on chickenpox!!

"Guns kill. Period"
Yep, it was just the other day I saw this gun drive up to the store in it's little gun mobile, hop out, sling itself into the store and proceed to shoot the place up. Then it slid back across the floor, out the door, back into it's waiting getaway mobile and off it went……..I was stunned in amazement.

"What are you trying to say anyway, that there's something sinister going on in Lilburn?"
FYI people who keep up with the news might remember a few years ago a high school coach and his son were murdered in a nighttime home invasion in Lilburn. Maybe Sailors was thinking about that, who knows.

And we are off!!!
Well after frantically getting the house in order, working an extra day at work, we finally are at the airport. Only to realize that I forgot my camera! Then the plane is delayed to fix the A/C. They finally announce that it will be an hour at least before boarding. So Dan ran home to get the camera. Thank heavens! Even small miracles are wonderful!
Show at the PNC Pavillion
Just when I thought things were settling in, I had another unusual day. Normally, we would get our equipment set up, and wait on the show to start. Today, we only had to set up the onstage equipment because the cameras were coming from a television station that was going to webcast the KISS concert live.
Okay, so not having to set up cameras doesn't really affect me because I am so busy building LED screens, but it does when ...
Leaving in first class
Airport in CLT is uneventful. Marinn has brief call on someone asking her to be the axo chapter advisor for a startup chapter at UNCC. The we board on first class seats on flit 852. A few drinks and we notice the guys sitting one row up with a sloppy dress, little goatee, silver metallic painted toe nails and a purple toboggan hat, singing and propping his ipad with some presentation on technology on the wall for all to see. ...
Rainy Smokies
... enjoy the amazing view. The weather was not permissive, and we didn't even bother to get out of the car. Funnily, Mark was there twenty years ago and had rain then as well although not as much. He climbed the tower then, but didn't have a great view. Given the beautiful weather yesterday, he had hoped that this time would be better, but it ...
Cross Country campground - Charlotte NC
... It was all really interesting! Don joined Claudia and myself for my NASCAR Experience that Claudia gave for my birthday the month before. What an experience! The pictures tell the story. Thanks Don for some great photos! We met Don and Trish for great brunch along side Lake Norman. While on the road we decided that we weren't quite ready to go home ...
