Resource ManagementMunicipal Service Benefit Unit (MSBU) Program
Welcome to the website for the MSBU Program of Seminole County!
The MSBU Program administers the non-ad valorem assessments levied for various local improvements within the unincorporated boundaries of Seminole County. An assessment district as established in Seminole County is commonly referred to as an MSBU (Municipal Service Benefit Unit). Through the MSBU Program, non-ad valorem assessments are levied by the Board of County Commissioners.
The assessments associated with MSBUs are based on the cost to provide the improvement, number of participating properties, and the benefit unit allocated to each participating property. Typically, community improvements funded via non-ad valorem assessments include residential household solid waste collection and disposal services, residential street lighting, lake management - restoration & aquatic weed control, and a variety of construction projects such as road paving and stormwater control systems, wall reconstruction and water/sewer line construction.
Please take a few moments to browse the website for additional information and on-line services. The MSBU Program personnel are available and look forward to assisting with all questions about established MSBUs or the process of establishing a new MSBU.
The MSBU Program of Seminole County operates according to the guidelines set forth in the Florida Statutes (primarily Chapter 125 and Chapter 197) and the Seminole County Administrative Code. The County's Administrative Code provides the framework for program operations [Section 22.10 (PDF)] and the fee schedules for applications [Section 20.37 (PDF)]. The policies and practices of the MSBU Program are further defined according to each Ordinance and Resolution document governing individual MSBUs and/or specific types of municipal services offered through this program. Effective and efficient operations are managed by operating procedures established at the program level. As confirmed by Resolution 2006-R-19 and Resolution 2009-R-39 (page 2), the non-ad valorem assessments levied by the Seminole County Board of County Commissioners are collected via the "Uniform Method" which provides for collection of assessments (and installment billing of financed assessments) by the County Tax Collector via the annual property tax bills.

A fire evacuated some units in a Fort Myers apartment building Sunday morning.
Smoke billowed from one of the units at Parkwood Meadow around 6 a.m.
When crews arrived there was smoke but no sign of a fire. They searched for an hour before finding a possible cause.
Fire crews say there appeared to be afire in the air conditioning vent at one point, but it extinguished before it could spread.
Four units of the building were evacuated.

Kingdon Is Finding Alpha in the Japanese Kingdom
Marshall is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Mark Kingdon, founder of Kingdon Capital, appeared at CNBC's Delivering Alpha's conference last week where he touted his best investment ideas. His overwhelming theme? Japan. He loves the Japanese auto market, which will prove to be the biggest benefactor of Abenomics. His specific picks included Mazda, Fuji Heavy and Toyota Motor (ADR) (NYSE: TM).
Toyota is making a comeback, while Subaru continues to focus on safety and is moving to higher-margin vehicles. Kingdon notes that Mazda has the biggest upside with the most risk. All three car stocks trade at forward price-to-earnings ratios of less than 10, but Kingdon sees fair value of 13 times.
Assuming Toyota trades at 13 times forward earnings, its fair value is over 10% higher than current trading levels. Kingdon notes that the wages of workers will be rebounding in Japan and the U.S., which will lead to higher Toyota sales. Sales are expected to be up 7% in fiscal 2014.
Back in 2008, Toyota took the top stock as the largest seller of vehicles by volume. But thanks to various Asian-specific issues, including the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, it lost this top spot. But in 2012, Toyota regained its title as the leader, surpassing General Motors (NYSE: GM). Toyota sold 9.7 million vehicles in 2012, compared to GM's 9.3 million.
For fiscal 2013, over 25% of Toyota's unit sales were generated in Japan. The company hopes to maintain its market leadership in the country with the introduction of new cars. This should help it to achieve its goal of 40% market share in Japan. Meanwhile, North America makes up 28% of revenue, where Toyota has been increasing production over the past few years.
Toyota also owns the number-one spot in hybrid offerings and plans to introduce eight compact car models in the emerging markets by 2015. This includes Brazil, China, India and Indonesia. Toyota is hoping that sales to emerging markets will be 50% of sales by 2015, compared to 19% in 2000.
Major comp
Toyota's most notable peer is its Japanese rival Honda Motor (ADR) (NYSE: HMC). Analysts expect a 22% rise in fiscal 2014 revenue. Honda has the most exposure to the North American market among the three major Japanese automakers. While this is great for Honda, assuming that the U.S. continues its robust growth, I like the fact that Toyota has some of the best exposure to the faster growing emerging markets.
Autos accounted for nearly 80% of Honda's fiscal 2012 sales, while motorcycles were 13.5%. The company's production operations are conducted primarily in 30 separate factories, four of which are located in Japan. Even still, during fiscal 2013, nearly 70% of sales were from outside Japan.
Competition abroad
GM still has the government bailout and bankruptcy filing overhang, but I believe the company is now a turnaround story. GM has been shrinking its North American production, while focusing on on fewer brands. The company is turning to the emerging markets for future growth. China and India, the world's two most populous countries, are the keys. It plans to invest $11 billion in the countries by 2016.
For China, GM plans to build four new plants in the country; this should help boost annual production to 5 million vehicles and triple exports from Chinese plants. Its bankruptcy allowed the company to shed billions of dollars in liabilities. GM has strengthened its balance sheet since its bankruptcy, now having over $20.5 billion in cash as of 1Q, compared to total debt of $18.4 billion. This cash balance was boosted by the 1Q 2013 free cash flow of $1.4 billion generated in 1Q, compared to the $280 million in the same quarter last year.
Bottom line
It's hard to disagree with Kingdon when you consider that Toyota is trading at a forward P/E ratio that's 11.7 times -- this is below Honda's 13 times. Toyota appears to be a leader and it's breaking into the emerging markets. Meanwhile, GM is also an interesting investment choice. The automaker trades at only 8.3 times forward earnings and is still very much a turnaround story.
China is already the world's largest auto market -- and it's set to grow even bigger in coming years. A recent Motley Fool report, "2 Automakers to Buy for a Surging Chinese Market," names two global giants poised to reap big gains that could drive big rewards for investors.

I lived in Arizona for four years. That was when I was first introduced to Korean cuisine via a friend. When we'd eat Korean food- usually when we ate out at this rather amazing restaurant our food would come with side dishes.
I guess, mine isn't a specific request for a recipe but I was wondering if you could go over some of the side dishes you'd find with Korean meals.
I know we had things like- and I apologize if I misspell any of these names... meh dhal chi, kimchi, mul kimchi, oi kimchi, oh dang...
And I was able to find what some of those things are- and if I'm not mistaken they are anchovies, cabbage kimchi, cucumber kimchi, radish kimchi, water sprouts, spinach...
But I also remembered these err potatoes and like soy bean sprouts ... and others I don't know the names to.
But basically, I just would like to know them so when I can get to a Asian market I know what to look for.
Please and thank you!

He wraps his arm around you and kisses you. " Guys this is my girlfriend (y/n), I've wanted to tell you about her for so long. She's really incredible and I hope you fall in love with her as much as I have."

Gopher Top Illinois to Become Bowl Eligible
The Gopher football team defeated Illinois 17-3 at Illinois Saturday to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2009. Minnesota fell behind 3-0 but tied the game at 3 going into halftime. Donnell Kirkwood ran 28 times for 152 yards and 2 touchdowns for Minnesota and Philip Nelson threw for just 78 yards and ran for 24 yards for the Gophers.
Michigan Beats Gophers to Claim Little Brown Jug
Michigan beat the Gophers 34-13 Saturday to keep the Little Brown Jug on their sideline again. Minnesota scored the first touchdown of the game but trailed 14-7 at halftime. Philip Nelson was 13-29 passing for 142 yards and 1 touchdown with no interceptions and 37 yards rushing. Donnell Kirkwood led the Gophers rushing for 58 yards on 16 carries.
Gophers Pound Purdue 44-28
The Gopher football team earned their first Big Ten win of the season with a 44-28 victory at TCF Bank Stadium over Purdue Saturday afternoon.

He also ran for 37 yards.
Badgers Pound Gophers 38-13
The Gophers lost 38-13 at Wisconsin Saturday afternoon. The big surprise was that head coach Jerry Kill decided to start red shirt freshman Philip Nelson of Mankato at quarterback.

Nelson in his first start was 13-24 passing for 149 yards and 2 touchdowns with 2 interceptions. He also ran for 67 yards on 16 carries.

Shortell started the game but was replaced by Marquis Gray in the 2nd quarter. Gray played until the end of the 3rd quarter when he aggravated his ankle injury.

Company DetailsUpdate
Adnexus, a Bristol-Myers Squibb R&D Company, is leading the discovery and development of Adnectinsâ"¢, a novel, proprietary class of targeted biologics. Adnectins are proteins designed to either block or stimulate therapeutic targets of interest to fight diseases across a broad range of therapeutic areas. Their proprietary technology for engineering these versatile proteins creates an opportunity to rapidly generate highly differentiated medicines.
Adnexus, a Bristol-Myers Squibb R&D Company, is a leader in the discovery and development of Adnectins, a proprietary type of targeted biologic. Adnectins are proteins designed to either block or stimulate therapeutic targets of interest to help fight diseases across a broad range of therapeutic areas. Our proprietary technology for engineering these proteins creates an opportunity to rapidly generate compounds for study as potential treatment options for patients.
Targeted biologics are one of the most medically important and fastest growing areas in the biopharmaceutical industry. These drugs are specifically designed to attack targets of disease. Despite the success of the first generation targeted therapeutic products, such as antibodies, additional innovations are sought by the medical community to help meet unmet needs for improved safety, and efficacy. We believe the study of Adnectins can help to address these demands.
Adnectins are derived from human fibronectin, an abundant extracellular protein that binds naturally to a number of different proteins. We create Adnectins using our proprietary protein engineering system called PROfusion™. Our scientists can rapidly create PROfusion libraries of more than 10 trillion different Adnectins. We then screen these libraries to identify Adnectins with the desired drug properties against therapeutic targets of interest. PROfusion enables discovery productivity by minimizing the timeframe for identifying high-quality candidates.
In October 2007, Adnexus was acquired by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company. This acquisition has further accelerated our growth as an industry leader in the discovery and early development of proprietary targeted biologics. Together with Bristol-Myers Squibb, we are developing multiple Adnectin programs for use in the study of potential treatments in a broad range of disease types, including oncology, immunology, and cardiovascular disease.

- Wine note: This menu dances beautifully with the Weingut Knoll Loibner Grüner Veltliner Federspiel 2007 ($30). The cool dollop of cucumber yogurt is spun dizzy by citrus notes ranging from tart lime to sweet tangerine, and a long finish of green peppercorn is a subtle counterpoint to the coconut-intensified rice. --Alexander Spacher

Sonic Tea Leaf
At my last job, I palmed a little plastic beaker holder on my way out of the door – it seems that departing Doctor Who star David Tennant went for something a little more hi-tech…
Speaking at the press screening of The Waters of Mars last Friday, David Tennant revealed that he has stolen a sonic screwdriver prop – although he's apparently concerned about getting found out!
"You're not allowed. You really aren't allowed.
"I put it in a secure location because I suddenly got worried my house would get burgled and I'd lose it, so I've locked it up somewhere.â€
Hmm. You wouldn't catch the Doctor revealing he's stolen something he shouldn't to a newspaper unless he had a very clever plan…
Still, at least David will be able to use his sonic screwdriver for a range of practical uses – to detect breaches in the universe, get money out of a cash machine, go on the internet, change the weather, break glass and use it as a torch. Well, the last one at least.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Natural-gas futures on Thursday gained more ground after the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that supplies of natural gas fell 57 billion cubic feet for the week ended March 21. The decline came in a bit higher than the market expected as analysts surveyed by Platts forecast a fall of between 50 billion cubic feet and 54 billion cubic feet. Total stocks now stand at 896 billion cubic feet, down 899 billion cubic feet from a year ago and 926 billion cubic feet below the five-year average, the government said. May natural gas ngk14 was at $4.47 per million British thermal units, up 7 cents, or 1.6%. It was trading at $4.42 before the data.

Armored Core V Gets Release Date, Sweet Box Art
Posted on Monday, September 19 @ 16:04:10 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
Mmmmm, I'm a connoisseur of fine box art. If a game has reversible art, it'll always sport that side in my collection. Look at this lovely Armored Core V art! So stylish! Of course, that's the Japanese art. They're always stylish. Why can't Americans get good looking box art? WHY?!
Armored Core V, developed by From Software, will be released on January 26th in Japan. We'll be eagerly awaiting it's not so stylish cover art here in the States. You know... if Namco Bandai isn't stupid, they'll just ship it right over here with the art it's got in the Land of the Rising Sun.

iOS X Lion's conversation threading in Apple Mail 5
Rounding out the product announcements made at WWDC was the launch of the latest operating system for Macs, known as Lion.
As well as the introduction of full-screen apps, Launchpad - an overview of the apps running on your Mac - and easier server set-up, Lion has gained a conversation thread format similar to Gmail's for Apple Mail 5, shown above.
For a full tour of the OS, see A safari through Apple's Lion OS for Mac.

Apple's Final Cut Pro x
But that wasn't it for Apple product announcements in June - oh no. Apple was still to launch the latest version of its professional video-editing software, Final Cut Pro X.
The new Auditions feature in Final Cut Pro X lets users see how edits they've picked out work with the rest of a sequence. Users can select multiple clips for audition, then try each one out to see how it fits in, eventually picking the best one without having to rejig the work each time.
For the full hands-on with the video-editing software, see Apple pushes play on Final Cut Pro X.

Apple campus
Continuing the Apple theme running through June's photo stories, the Mac maker last month took the wraps off plans for a new campus.
The proposed headquarters, which has been compared to a flying saucer, will play host to 12,000 Apple employees and be situated in the company's home of Cupertino.
For a closer look at the HQ, see Space base - Apple's new HQ comes with a sci-fi flavour.

Who am I?
A happy father. A lucky husband. A lawyer and development professional.
I blog at Between the Stations and occasionally contribute to Funnybook Babylon. My ever-expanding bookshelf is here. I infrequently write about food and take pictures.That's everything.
[T]oday's Romney insists there is no reason to question the distribution of wealth in America except for envy of the rich – did his rich dad question the distribution of wealth in America out of envy for the rich? – and that it was a subject only appropriate for discussion in "quiet rooms." (His dad didn't talk about it in quiet rooms; he talked about it at a Sunday worship service at the 1972 Republican convention, praying, "Help us to help those who need help.") Even if Mitt Romney is not the most right-wing candidate for the nomination, when he wins it, in a Republican Party becoming more extreme with every passing day, he may still be – because the party won't have it any other way – the most right-wing nominee in the history of the country.
It wasn't that way at first, of course. Four years ago, Romney announced his presidential candidacy — anyone remember? — in front of a state-of-the-art hybrid car. Positioning himself as an ecology president, he boasted about his father – "The Rambler automobile he championed was the first American car designed and marketed for economy and mileage" – and pointed to the car next beside him as "the first giant step away from our reliance on the gasoline engine."
Now, of course, he's a global warming denier. Little Willard is all grown up now. He's his own man. And he's the the likely Republican nominee. Which now means he's Wall Street's man. And Focus on the Family's, and the Tea Party's, and Grover Norquist's too.

Cling to the Promise
God is faithful to God's promises.
Before you die, you will find the acceptance and the love you crave. It will not come in the way you expect. It will not follow your needs and wishes. But it will fill your heart and satisfy your deepest desire.
There is nothing to hold on to but this promise.
Everything else has been taken away from you
Cling to that naked promise in faith.
Your faith will heal you.
-Henri Nouwen, The Inner Voice of Love

Narrow your search
The usually endearing emoticon gets super creepy for an eye-catching French campaign aimed at making parents aware of who their kids may be talking to online.
Swiftkey, the customisable Android keyboard, has received an upgrade that adds emoji characters and a numbers bar.
The social network now encourages show-and-tell status updates on mobile.
Some of the social network's online and mobile users will be able to express how they're feeling or what they're doing from their status bar.
Don't feel like typing what music you're listening to or TV show you're watching into your status update? Don't worry. The social network can now listen, recognize, and do the work for you.
In a world where people text more often than call, typing your emergency to 911 is the logical next step. But there are kinks to work out before you'll be able to use it nationwide.
Check out the list of new emoticons that can be added to most of your Facebook communications.
Tweets can be tasty with Mashtags potato snacks shaped like edible emoticons and online symbols.
What started out as an inside joke at Carnegie Mellon University has spawned hundreds of faces, emotions, and gestures.
Automatic expressions of sympathy may come to Facebook, but a dislike button remains the stuff of fantasy.

We need a 'culture of call' in the church
Our recent annual conference in Rogers, AR, featured a persistent theme that needs to be transmitted to every congregation in Arkansas. The call. Specifically, God's call upon the lives of women and men into ministry. We're all called, of course. Every one of us. Every baptized Christian is meant to be a minister of the.. read more →
Wesleyan Accent: Discipleship in the Wesleyan Way
The church today puts a lot of focus on the need to make disciples of Jesus Christ. But do we take seriously what that work requires of us? I'm not so sure. I am very sure, on the other hand, that we're living in a culture that does us no favors when we even begin.. read more →
Holy Conferencing: A Means of Grace
John Wesley considered some of the means of grace to be formally established by Jesus Christ in the gospels. One of those is the means of grace he called "Christian conference" at some points and "Christian fellowship" at others. These terms take some explaining, because Wesley used them in technical ways that would not be apparent to us at.. read more →
From Wesley's pen — December 4, 1746

The Republican Party of Texas issued the following statement:
The Republican Party of Texas would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family of State Representative Ken Legler of Pasadena, who passed away suddenly today at the age of 54.
Ken Legler was first elected to represent Texas House District 144 in Harris County in 2008, and served during the 81st and 82nd Legislative Sessions.
A third generation Texan, Ken was a genuine Pasadena native, who chose to live, work, and play in East Harris County. He was educated in the Pasadena public schools. Ken started working at Houston Wire Works in South Houston after graduating from high school and worked his way from a starting production worker to President. In 2001 he and his wife bought the company, and they also started other small businesses internationally in Europe and Mexico.
Representative Legler is survived by his wife of 29 years, Barbara, their three children and a grandson. Ken was an active, lifelong member at Zion Lutheran Evangelical Church.
State Chairman Steve Munisteri said, "On behalf of myself and the Republican Party of Texas, I wish to offer our sincerest condolences and prayers for Ken's family, and especially for Barbara and his children. I am very saddened to hear of his sudden passing today. Ken was a tremendous leader for Southeast Texas, and a strong supporter of our Republican Party and our values and principles. We will all greatly miss him, and our thoughts and prayers are with his family in this difficult time."

Dethalbum III - Dethklok
- Band Name: Dethklok
- Record Label: Williams Street
- Release Date: Oct 16, 2012
- Summary: This is the third full-length release from the death metal band featured in the Adult Swim animated series Metalocalypse.
- Record Label: Williams Street
- Genre(s): Pop/Rock, Heavy Metal
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 3 out of 6
Mixed: 3 out of 6
Negative: 0 out of 6
Oct 18, 2012Though having an entertaining show backing it up will make Dethalbum III an easy purchase for fans of the program, it's an album good enough to stand all on its own.
Oct 18, 2012While fans of the show will certainly get extra layers of inference out of Dethalbum III, the most amazing thing about it is, all on its own, it stands as a hilarious and skilful example of the genre.
Oct 18, 2012The band's latest volume, Dethalbum III, features some of Small's best melodies and instrumentation to date.
Oct 18, 2012Dethalbum III's tongue-in-cheek bravado delivers a more potent hour of music than many of the icons who originally inspired it.
Oct 18, 2012Other than "I Ejaculate Fire," the lyrics aren't that funny--it often seems like Small is trying to write real metal songs. And it's hard to see the point of that.
Score distribution:
Positive: 2 out of 3
Mixed: 1 out of 3
Negative: 0 out of 3
May 18, 2013its that gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood… Expand
Nov 6, 2012Brendon Small has crafted an album that not only stands out as a Dethklok album, but it stands out as an album in general. Dethklok has gown far beyond a metal band on a TV show. Best Track: Crush The Industry… Expand
Feb 4, 2013An Album that only has six good songs out of the whole bunch. Small's vocals have gotten worse this time around, as he is now incoherent while singing. While is has been a running gag during the show, you could still make out most of what he was saying with the original Dethalbum. Since then, the soundtracks have seen a reduction in clarity in Nathan's voice to have it is now. And its disappointing.
As for the sound tracks, there are some good songs in the mix (not great or even amazing though), and when you compare them against the rest of the Album the quality of the overall CD begins to drop sharply. A few songs even sound the same, about mid way through the album, which just kills the uniqueness of one song when they all sound similar.… Collapse

The KFX®400 is for serious sport riders who demand high-performance for the track, trails and dunes. And the KFX400 delivers, thanks to its high-tech, four-stroke engine, manual transmission, lightweight racing-type chassis and disc brakes.
This four-wheeled Kawasaki is propelled by a highly responsive 398cc, liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine with double overhead cams and four valves atop a chrome composite-plated aluminum alloy cylinder. Fed by a 37mm high-performance carburetor, it includes electric start and has a counterbalancer to reduce vibration.
The KFX400 engine utilizes a dry sump design, shortening overall engine height so it can be placed lower in the chassis for enhanced stability while providing higher ground clearance.
Transmitting power from the engine to the rear wheels is a high-performance five-speed-plus-reverse manual transmission and efficient O-ring chain.
Such power requires a chassis to match, so the KFX400 ATV engine rides in a high-tensile steel frame and subframe. Suspension duties are handled by dual front A-arms with fully adjustable shocks that provide 8.5 inches of travel, while an aluminum-alloy swingarm with fully adjustable shock provides 9.1 inches of travel on the rear. Contributing to the KFX400's low, 373-pound dry weight are competition-inspired aluminum-alloy wheels, and stopping power is provided by dual front disc brakes and a single rear disc brake.
As with all off-highway vehicle recreation, Kawasaki encourages ATV riders to ride responsibly and to respect the environment. Kawasaki will pay first-time buyers of a new Kawasaki ATV $100 for completing an ATV rider safety course conducted by the ATV Safety Institute (ASI). Interested consumers can call ASI toll-free at 800-887-2887.
- High-performance four-stroke engine delivers exceptionally broad torque curve for maximum traction for a variety of sport-riding conditions
- Twin air intakes on the front fenders provide extra cooling to the radiator
- Dry-sump lubrication allows the engine to be kept low in the chassis for superior weight distribution and handling while providing higher ground clearance
- 37mm carburetor increases engine performance
- Electric start makes getting started easy
- Five-speed manual transmission helps the rider keep the engine in the powerband
- Reverse gear makes backing up convenient and easy
- Efficient chain final drive provides maximum power to the rear wheel
- Swingarm utilizes eccentric chain adjusters, making chain adjustment easier
- Dual A-arm front suspension and rear swingarm help to soak up the bumps and jumps
- Front shocks feature fully adjustable compression and rebound damping as well as adjustable preload for multiple suspension tuning options
- Triple disc brakes provide exceptional stopping power
- Dual halogen headlights brighten the path for nighttime riding
- Serrated steel footpegs help to keep the rider's feet from slipping in wet or muddy riding conditions

CHATTANOOGA, TN (WRCB) -- A rash of gun violence in the city has residents nervous and newly elected city officials formulating plans to reduce the crime problem.
"It's getting to the point where I'm ready to just move out of this city," says resident Shawn Roberts.
Roberts lives just down the road from one of three shootings in Chattanooga Thursday evening.
"Shootings everyday. It is getting outrageous," Roberts says.
Bullets riddled a home on Tennessee Avenue later that evening and on Brainerd Road, a man was gunned down and left for dead, the victim would survive.
Crime is a problem many residents say jobs and family units will fix.
"Morals, it starts with morals in the household, the family. You got to be as a whole, as one. You got to be there for your family, your children," explains Roberts.
Two of the shootings occurred in Councilman-elect Chris Anderson's district. He echoes Roberts' concerns.
"The crime problem is not just more police officers on the street or stiffer punishments for crime, but it's also community support for families and kids," Anderson says.
He has more than one plan to bring down the crime rate.
"Bring more jobs to the communities that don't have them or connect people to the jobs through additional public transportation options," says Anderson.
"We got to make sure the community gets involved, and we all pitch in to help our crime issues," Chattanooga Mayor-elect Andy Berke says.
Berke will use a public forum next week to help him decide what to do.
"I'm going to listen to people and make sure we are supporting our officers, finding the best strategies for law enforcement and reducing the amount of crime in our city," says Berke.
In neighborhoods like Roberts', help couldn't come soon enough.
"No mentors, there's like no kind of centers or nothing like that, nothing for nobody to do," Roberts says.
"Help is on the way," says Anderson.
Berke will host a public safety forum from 5 to 7 p.m. on March 21, at Tennessee Temple University.

Another mountain range is making its debut Friday as the backdrop for a song-and-dance sequence in an Indian movie—if it made the editor's cut, that is: the Andes in Peru, and the ruins of the Inca city of Machu Picchu located high amid those mountains.
"We have seen some Indian movies here," said Fernando Astete, Machu Picchu archeological park director, remembering the "Endhiran" shoot two years ago. "It was the quintessential music that we see in those movies, with the man falling in love and courting the woman. There were also some Brazilian elements all mixed in. It was something quite exotic." Read More »
Duke public policy professor Anirudh Krishna and a team of researchers spent the last decade talking to over 35,000 families in India, Kenya, Peru, Uganda and the United States to answer this question: Why are people poor?
Mr. Krishna's book on his findings, "One Illness Away: Why People Become Poor and How They Escape Poverty," will be out in October from Oxford University Press. India Real Time spoke to Professor Krishna about his research. Edited Excerpts:
IRT: One of the findings you stress is that many poor people are "first-generation" poor. How many?
Krishna: Our results show as many as one-third of all poor people were not born poor. They became poor within their lifetimes on account of factors that could have been prevented. It's ironic that even as governments and donors and others are doing a lot to pull people out of poverty, very little is done to prevent people from falling into poverty so the pool of people in poverty keeps growing even as many people come out.

Actually, a graphical update would be easier than the sound was. The graphics engine was developed in house; they know how it works, the ins and outs. The sound system wasn't, it's an outsourced 'COTS' product, commercial of the shelf. That makes things a lot more difficult when you try to wrap it into a 'homebrew' application like WoW.

Universal Credit will fail to lift many single parents out of poverty and could deter families from working longer hours, according to research published today.
Gingerbread warns childcare costs will be a barrier to single parents wanting to work more hours when receiving universal credit. Image: Lucie Carlier
The report by the charity Gingerbread found the rising costs of childcare and housing, combined with the way Universal Credit is calculated, means that working longer hours will make only a negligible difference to net household income for many single parents.
The study, which was conducted by the Centre for Research in Social Policy at Loughborough University, highlights how families will be affected when the system is launched next year, based on an analysis of how projected Universal Credit entitlements compare to families' needs.
"The government has been very clear in its commitment that work will always pay under Universal Credit and that every additional hour of work will always pay," said Caroline Davey, director of policy at Gingerbread.
"What our report shows very clearly is that won't be the case for a significant number of single parents and that's because not enough investment is being put in to areas like childcare costs.
"We are very concerned that those promises won't be fulfilled unless more investment is made in Universal Credit and we are looking to the announcements in the autumn statement when the government will make its final decisions about the amount of money going into Universal Credit."
Gingerbread is calling on the government to give families more support for childcare costs, increase the amount single parents can earn before Universal Credit is withdrawn, and reduce the rate at which the benefit is decreased beyond that threshold.
The charity estimates that about half a million of the single parent households that will move onto Universal Credit next year will have a lower entitlement than under the current system, based on the government's own impact assessments.
"While it is true to say that 700,000 will have a higher entitlement, having 500,000 single parent households with a lower entitlement under the new system is very troubling," said Davey.
"We would expect a significant chunk of those families to be the group we're talking about – people with high housing and childcare costs, who are in work but aren't particularly better off from working more hours, because the amount they lose will be more than the amount they're earning."
Universal Credit comes into force from October 2013, and will replace tax credits and benefits including Jobseeker's Allowance, income support, child tax credit and housing benefit with a single credit payment.

What does it take to become a writer?
Many times I want to write, but always end up a mess. What do you need to be a writer? Persistence, unique views?
Closing Statement from chen xin
now i have got it ,to become a writer ,we need a certian words every day .and we do as much as reading as we can
i think that is the two most important things
Random Chance 30+Oct 18 2012: Write.
Don't give up or stop because it is no good.
Keep going because it is no good.
Write because you have to write. You must write. It's like air and you cannot hold it inside yourself.
You have to let it out.
I write and write and write.
In a more disciplined manner, I write screenplays, books, comedy, educational ideas, theories and philosophical and psychological theories and musical lyrics.
No, I haven't sold anything yet and I am closer to selling one of my screenplays, but not there yet.
The first draft of anything is always the hardest for me. I grew up reading and hearing that rewriting was the worst and that most writers hated rewriting.
I love it. It is where the story, the idea or whatever, comes together. It is where the problems in my writing are solved.
It is where characters speak to me, directing me, if I am but willing to listen to them instead of my ego. After all, they know themselves better than I do. I get to know them though, very well in fact.
And read, letting yourself be inspired by others. We are influenced by so many other people, places, things and experiences but we are unique in our own voice.
Trust yours. Do it because you need to do it.
If you become a mess, write the mess. There may be a MESSage in there for you, just waiting to gain your attention.
Like I said: You don't stop because you're a mess. You go on because you're a mess, until you and your writing are all cleaned up. Then you will know when to stop.
Good luck
Oct 18 2012: A writer writes. Whether he or she will be published or not is not the most important thing. A writer has something to say and writes it down. I wouldn't say that unique views are needed (even though they'd be nice); honest is key.
To be a writer you have to read a lot; you've got to love books. You may not start out as an impressive writer, but if you continue to write it becomes better.
And not forgetting something that writers and actors have in common: They observe the world around them with curiosity.
Oct 19 2012: I guess a good environment helps too. Being exposed to a group of people who are just as passionate about writing is healthy too. Or being exposed to people who like to read and critique is also healthy.
I'd like to read some stuff if I ever get the time to.
Oh yeah, maybe you should also talk to Feyisayo Anjorin and David Hamilton on here about writing. I heard David was writing a book and Feyisayo is just a literary beast.
Oct 19 2012: Always keep a notepad and pen ready. Whenever you come across an idea, make a short note of it using key words that come to your mind. Then whenever you have time/inclination/inspiration and sitting alone, meditate on the idea, and develop the key words into meaningful phrases and finally sentences. Then connect various ideas together.
If you want to be a fiction writer, make notes on short episodes, observations and imaginative bits and then build a larger picture.
Another technique is to start with a key concept and meditate on what it really means in relation to its family of related concepts.
Plato's entire work is based upon Socrates asking key questions like :what is Justice?
Finally you have to build up inspiration by trying and experimenting.
"The most ordinary word, when put into place, suddenly acquires brilliance. That is the brilliance with which your images must shine".....Robert Bresson
Oct 18 2012: I would guess the main thing is that you write? a lot, hundreds of words a day.
From what I hear writing is hard work.

An East Moline man pleaded guilty Friday to attempted murder for repeatedly stabbing an ex-lover at her home in December 2012.
Aaron Matthew Rowland, 40, who prosecutors said sneaked into the 47-year-old woman's home and stabbed her multiple times before fleeing, entered his plea to the Class X felony before Judge F. Michael Meersman, avoiding a trial set to begin Monday.
As part of the plea negotiations, Class X charges of home invasion and aggravated battery are expected to be dismissed at sentencing, which has not yet been set.
By agreement of attorneys, Mr. Rowland faces a cap of 20 years in prison and will have to serve at least 85 percent of whatever sentence is imposed.
On Dec. 9, 2012, East Moline police were called to the 100 block of 41st Avenue after the victim called 911 about 8:40 a.m. saying Mr. Rowland had stabbed her. She was treated for serious injuries at a local hospital.
According to police records, a neighbor saw Mr. Rowland flee the scene in a 1994 green Toyota truck, clutching something in his hand.
He is believed to have driven to the home of a family member in Milan where he abandoned the truck, records say.
Authorities reported finding a black-handled folding pocket knife in the truck, as well as a soiled towel and suspect strands of hair in the residence where the vehicle was parked.
Mr. Rowland was arrested Dec. 9, 2012, by East Moline police and remained in Rock Island County Jail as of Friday afternoon.
His mental fitness was called into question in January 2013, but he was determined fit to stand trial or plead in the case after an evaluation by a psychologist.

How Have We Come to This?
—Posted by Elizabeth (April 30, 2013 at 3:51 pm)
The closing arguments are being made in the grisly murder trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell. The case leads us to wonder, how has "reproductive care†come to this – the murder of newborn infants by snipping their spinal cords?
Perhaps the root cause can be found in America's glorification of sex. Not sex within marriage, but promiscuity, hook-ups, pornography, and lust. The culture of licentiousness has people convinced that sex is all about pleasure and should be "consequence-freeâ€. Society is forgetting about the selfless love of spouses. Instead, lust leads to the objectification of one's sexual "partnerâ€.
Once the door has opened to allow the objectification of human persons and stripping of their dignity, why stop there?

Is Quantum Mechanics a description of matter and energies that are accelerated and therefore heated. and not actual universal laws.
Due to the acceleration (expansion of the Universe) and the big bang matter formed from energy, and quantum mechanics is something explaining a resulting "reality" and not the actual laws of energy. Due to the base state of our reality, physics is altered similar to the gravity of earth, it is a relativistic norm.

Jan 6 2013: You have made the interesting point that our theories are based on observations of phenomena occurring in special circumstances, specifically here on earth, during this particular span of time. You are right to question this.
We have measured the speed of light to amazing accuracy, but no one has ever measured the speed of light outside of our solar system, or outside of our galaxy, or a million years ago. Our equations tell us the speed of light is a constant, and our equations have all been confirmed by our (local) observations. The National Institute of Standards and Technology has a list of sixteen "Universal Constants." Perhaps we should be calling them local contemporary constants.
Jan 10 2013: Hi Barry
One could also say that the constants we have measured describe the part of the universe we live in very well. And until we find any indication of the constants being functions of position or time, we have no reason to believe that they aren't constant.
Why complicate our model of the universe unnecessarily?
Barry Palmer 100+Jan 10 2013: Agreed, that until we have evidence, we should keep our model as simple as possible.
We should also be aware of the limits of our knowledge, and acknowledge that the model is built on certain assumptions.
I get concerned when I see documentaries on TV with post doctoral physicists proudly telling us all they "know" without the slightest acknowledgement that a great deal of what they are explaining is based on assumptions. These shows give a false impression of certainty that makes science look foolish when we later have to refine the model. We used to "know" that gravity held stars together in galaxies, until we completed the measurements and found out that the galaxies "should" be flying apart. Now physicists are telling us what they "know" about dark matter, a code word for something that we do not know.
There is no wonder that some people have no confidence in science to guide public policy. They are not stupid, they just listen to what scientists say, and remember.
