Mercer Island resident, family donate $1 million to Western Washington University
Mercer Island resident Scott Harrington and his family donated $1 million to Western Washington University to help build a new athletic field on campus.
The project will help fund a fully lighted and fenced artificial turf field, regulation size for soccer and will become the new home of Western's mens and women's soccer team.
"This field project is significant of course for Western, we've had a shortage of on-campus field space for some time, and our soccer teams have been playing off-campus for years," said Lynda Goodrich, director of WWU Athletics. "It will also be a resource for the community. There are currently only two other all-weather turf fields in Bellingham – Orca Field and Civic Stadium – that are regulation-sized for soccer. We're thrilled that we'll be able to host other major sporting events at this first-class facility."
Harrington, a 1998 graduate of Western, played on the men's soccer team.
"Western has played a significant role in my family's lives over the years," said Harrington. in a press release. "I'm thrilled that we are helping Western build a great new home for its soccer teams. Giving back in this way is truly an honor."
The field will be formally named the Robert S. Harrington field, in honor of Scott's father.
The project is expected to cost an estimated $4.6 million, and will be paid for in part with the donation, as well as funding from the Student Recreation Center bond refinancing.
Construction is likely to begin in early 2013.

Energy efficiency makeovers for Michigan neighborhoods
Many homeowners just can't afford the upfront investment to make their homes more energy efficient. And many programs meant to defray some of that cost haven't gotten much traction with consumers.
But Sarah Cwiek reports the federal government's "BetterBuildings" program is trying to change that. It's just now getting off the ground in Michigan with money from the 2009 stimulus package.
Sarah visited Chris Matus at his Ferndale home on the day he was getting an energy audit from Well Home's Kent Trobaugh.
The guys set up something called a blower door test to find out where the leaks were in Matus' home. Then they roamed the house with an infrared camera. The screen shows a landscape of blurred colors: gold is heat, purple is cold. Matus says the whole exercise reminds him of a certain movie from the 1980s.
"It feels like we're Ghostbusting."
Matus is getting about a thousand dollars worth of work done on his house today. But it only costs him 50. That's because he's taking advantage of the U.S. Department of Energy's stimulus-funded BetterBuildings program. Michigan got 30-million dollars—the second-biggest chunk of any state.
For 50 dollars, Matus is getting the energy audit and some basic weatherization: adding insulation, sealing cracks and stuff like that. Matus says he'd love to take advantage of some of the more advanced upgrades Well Home also offers. But in the short term, his goals are a lot more modest.
"It would be fun to be able to say I'm house on the block with a geo-thermal, new hip eco-energy system. But in the short term it's cost. Anything I can find to help keep my utility bills down is good."
Program organizers hope that promise of savings will hook more people like Matus into making at least some basic upgrades. The BetterBuildings program is targeting more than 11,000 homes in 27 Michigan communities over the next three years. This Ferndale neighborhood is the first pilot project; organizers hope to choose most of the rest through an application process.

A Page Out of Pat McGrath's Silver Lining Playbook, Backstage At Dior
The idea floating around backstage at Christian Dior was the notion of "the ultimate Dior woman, seen through a futuristic eye," according to Pat McGrath—or, more specifically, Raf Simons' eye. "He wanted to play with the mouths and make them smaller," McGrath explained of the designer's request for "faded lips," which she obliged with a deep fuchsia stain that was blurred around the edges with a finger-pressing of foundation for a "blooming rose" effect. "There's a nod to the fifties," she continued of the collection, which also happened to boast Simons' particular brand of forward thinking that requires a dose of the here, the now, and the what's to come. How best to translate that into makeup terms? With a classic cat-eye in an unexpected color and shape, shown here in liquid silver, which was not only drawn across the upper lashes into a flick, but also beneath the lower lash line, and in a small stroke on the inside corner toward the crease as well. "It pronounced the eyes more and gave them a new elegance," McGrath said of the technique.
Guido Palau was hoping to bring an infusion of newness into the hair as well, which had its roots in fifties couture. "Raf wanted more of an uptown woman who was caught in the rain, but we didn't want it to feel old," Palau explained, giving the structured, wig-wrap-turned-twist silhouette a very Fall 2013 wet texture with Redken Control Addict 28 High Control Hairspray and its forthcoming Diamond Oil Shatterproof Shine serum. "I still wanted it to feel elegant," he noted of the saturated style. Done, and done.

Mobile's Killer App
by Ari Rosenberg on May 28, 1:33 PM
Being forced to listen to someone's cell phone conversation while standing next to them in an airport security line may feel like torture, but it's not life-threatening. Watching people pound away on their BlackBerry while you talk to them may kill your self-esteem, but it's not life-threatening. Dialing cell phones, sending text messages, or responding to emails on mobile devices while driving is killing thousands of people every year -- and as a medium, we could not care less.

Avoiding Risky Behavior
by Daniel Ambrose on May 21, 1:45 PM
Those of us raising teenagers are all doing our best to teach our offspring not to participate in risky behavior. We promise rides home from parties with no questions asked. We talk about safe driving practices, seatbelts, safe sex (OK, some of us don't talk about that), not to trust people they "meet" on the Internet. You get the idea. Being safe, or at least making smart choices about risk, is one of the key attributes of mature behavior. But every day, in the business world, we aid and abet risky behavior.

A Peek Into The Phoenix Suns' Online Expertise
by Kory Kredit on May 14, 2:15 PM
Growing up as a basketball fan in a couple of small towns in Iowa back in the '70s and '80s, my access to news and information about my favorite teams and players was limited to a handful of box scores in the local paper, a periodic feature story in
Sports Illustrated
and an occasional game on NBC. Fast-forward 30 or so years. Thanks to team Web sites, fan blogs and social media applications we now have access to more content then we could ever consume, and I love it! To get a behind-the-scenes look at what the digital revolution looked ...

There Is No Excess of Inventory, There Is A Shortage Of Intent
by David Koretz on May 7, 1:45 PM
The real issue in display advertising has nothing to do with inventory. The real issue is intent. The fact that billions of page views go unsold each month is not, alone, an indicator of a supply problem. You have to first understand the quality of the supply.

Recently crowned Australian National Kitesurfing Juniors champion,Tom McGregor , is a fresh face to join the Ozone team. Tom will be riding the new Ozone Reo surf specific kite and will be representing Ozone within Australia and internationally. This is an exciting opportunity for the 16 year old whose rise has been very quick.
He recently won his first big peer judged competition, the Australian Kitesurfing Wave Nationals in Warnambool in February. Prior to that, Tom won most promising junior at the Corona Classic in Merrimbula, NSW, last November 2010. Tom's decision to join the Ozone team was a family affair, and Ozone Australia brand manager Steve McCormack visited Tom and discussed the opportunity at the family home with Tom and his parents.
Tom is passionately into wave riding, and works in the Kitethrills (www.kitethrills.com) shop on Sundays and some afternoons. Tom is a very happy and outgoing guy always ready for a laugh, a surf, a kite and a good time, he says – "I'm single and ready to mingle yewwww"
Tom is currently riding Ozone's all terrain kite, the Catalyst, until his Reo's arrive very soon.

Ahh finally! I have managed to figure out how to solve the 'missing iTunes.msi' file error that kept coming up when I tried to update iTunes!!
I was so scared of losing all my music and not being able to update my iPhone to the new 3.0 software because of this stupid error!
Anyway. How to fix it..
Apparently Microsoft has removed the link to the file now stating it may help some programs but harm others (thanks for letting me know Sandie!).. So I have now uploaded the original file I used last year (good job I never delete things eh?).. The file is [here] – remember it is an executable file, so you might want to 'save' it first, virus check it etc then run it. I have re-tested it with Windows 7 and it worked today (29 June 2010). This was initially tested with Windows XP back in June last year.
Disclaimer: It worked for me LAST YEAR when I posted this and TODAY when I updated this post (29 June 2010). I cannot guarantee it will work work for you, or with newer versions of Windows etc since this post. I do not claim to be a computer genius, I am only sharing what has worked for me. Try it at your own risk. (I assume by you finding this post all else has already failed).
First download the Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp Utility and run it from Start Menu once installed. Choose iTunes from the list and to be honest, any Apple related things such as Quicktime, iPhone stuff etc and then click remove. At this point – don't panic! You will NOT lose any data such as songs, play counts, playlists etc.
Once you have done that – you are SORTED!! Go straight to iTunes and download the latest version and it will install without a problem! Everything remains the same apart from you will be using the newer shiny version of iTunes
I LOVE iTunes so I would have been so upset if I had to lose everything and start again Grr! Repost this info, or link to this blog as I am sure there are many others who will have encountered the same problem. Lets spread the iTunes love people
The original Microsoft file was on this page
Now that you've sorted that out – how about using ANY MP3 file as your iPhone ringtone? I made another tutorial for you! Or if you're interested, jailbreak your iPhone!

The Alcázar of Seville is a royal palace in Seville, Spain, originally a Moorish fort. It is the oldest royal palace still in use in Europe, and it was registered in 1987 by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, along with the Seville Cathedral and the General Archive Of The Indies. The Almohades were the first to build a palace, which was called Al-Muwarak, on the site of the modern day Alcázar. The palace is one of the best remaining examples of mudéjar architecture. Subsequent monarchs have added their own additions to the Alcázar. The upper levels of the Alcázar are still used by the royal family as the official Seville residence and are administered by the Patrimonio Nacional.
Patio De Las Doncellas
The name, meaning "The Courtyard of the Maidens", refers to the legend that the Moors demanded 100 virgins every year as tribute from Christian kingdoms in Iberia. The story of the tribute was used as a myth to bolster the Reconquista movement. The lower level of the Patio was built for King Peter I and includes inscriptions describing Peter as a "sultan". Various lavish reception rooms are located on the sides of the Patio. In the center is a large, rectangular reflecting pool with sunken gardens on either side.
For many years, the courtyard was entirely paved in marble with a fountain in the center. However, historical evidence showed the gardens and the reflecting pool were the original design and this arrangement was restored. However, soon after this restoration, the courtyard was temporarily paved with marble once again at the request of movie director Ridley Scott. Scott used the paved courtyard as the set for the court of the King of Jerusalem in his movie Kingdom of Heaven. The courtyard arrangement was converted once more after the movie's production.
The palace was the birthplace of Infanta Maria Antonietta of Spain (1729-1785), daughter of Philip V of Spain and Elisabeth Farnese. The king was in the city to oversee the signing of the Treaty of Seville (1729) which ended the Anglo-Spanish War (1727).
La Casa De Contratación
The Casa de Contratación (House of Trade) lies off the la Monteria. It was built in 1503 by the Catholic Monarchs to regulate trade with the New World colonies. The Casa dealt with trade related legal disputes on trade with the Americas. The "Casa" includes a chapel where Colombus met with Ferdinand and Isabella after his second voyage. The chapel houses The Virgin of the Navigators, one of the first paintings to depict the discovery of the Americas and one of the earliest paintings to depict Columbus.

--EIA reports inventory drop of 172 bcf, at upper end of forecasts
--Decline tops year-ago drop, near five-year average level
--Prices slip from $3.50/mmBtu anchor on profit-taking
(Adds price table)
By David Bird
NEW YORK--Natural-gas futures fell 3% Thursday ahead of what forecasters said will be a brief break in frigid weather in key markets.
Gas prices had climbed about 45 cents per million British thermal units in the past two weeks from the lowest levels since late September on forecasts of a deep freeze now hitting the Midwest and Northeast. Near-term forecasts call for a bit of break in the weather in the next six to 10 days, before the eastern half of the nation sees below-normal temperatures again the first full week of February.
Traders said the weather window provided an exit for profit-takers to bail out, with a likely eye to buy in again at lower prices.
Weekly government data on gas inventories met the high end of forecasts, thus failing to spark prices higher.
The Energy Information Administration said storage withdrawals totaled 172 billion cubic feet in the week ended Jan. 18, more than the 162 bcf drop in the same week of 2012, and slightly below the five-year average decline of 176 bcf.
At 2.996 trillion cubic feet, inventories are down 5% from a year earlier, but 12% above the five-year average.
Natural gas for February delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange settled 10.8 cents lower, at $3.446 per million British thermal units. The drop was the biggest single-day dollar decline since Jan. 2. Prices settled below $3.50/mmBtu for the first time in a week.
Traders said prices could be volatile next week, with the February contract expiring Tuesday, fluctuating weather forecasts and potentially the biggest single-week drawdown in inventories, given the current cold snap.
"If you weigh up all these things, it's a bit of conundrum," said Matt Smith, analyst at Summit Energy.
The arrival of February and front-month March trading reminds traders that winter is fast slipping away and the focus becomes end-winter storage levels.
Near-term weather forecasts will rule the day, said Kyle Cooper, analyst at IAF Advisors. Mr. Cooper noted that March 2012 temperatures were the warmest for the month, according to records beginning in 1895. "If we see anything like normal temperatures in March, we're going to see a huge difference from last March" in gas demand, he said.
Still, he noted that the coldest part of the winter has effectively passed, and below-normal temperatures in February and March mean less than they do in January.
In cash-market trading, prices remained high in the Northeast amid cold weather and strong demand. The EIA said New England prices were the highest since January 2004, while prices in the New York City area were the third-highest since then, and below New England values. Nymex prices are for gas delivery at the Henry Hub in Erath, La.
Transco said Thursday that for the first time in four winters it has advised its customers to balance order in its natural gas pipeline system amid persistently low temperatures that have caused a significant increase in gas demand. The so-called operational flow order encourages "all shippers to manage their system requirements to ensure a concurrent balance of receipts and deliveries."
The company said it has experienced "below-normal temperatures and significant gas demand over most of its market area."
Transco said the move is designed to "ensure system integrity, manage imbalances on its system and handle within-the-day volatility."
"We're not interrupting deliveries to anybody," a Transco spokesman said. Transco's system has peak design capacity of 9.7 billion cubic feet per day of gas. It supplies markets in the southeastern, mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states.
FUTURES SETTLEMENT NET CHANGE Nymex February $3.446 -10.8c Nymex March $3.454 -9.9c Nymex April $3.490 -9.1c CASH HUB RANGE PREVIOUS DAY Henry Hub $3.53-$3.58 $3.51-$3.58 Transco 65 $3.56-$3.59 $3.50-$3.58 Tex East M3 $8.85-$13.50 $8.56-$14.00 Transco Z6 $30.00-$44.00 $26.50-$43.00 SoCal $3.67-$3.75 $3.60-$3.68 El Paso Perm $3.455-$3.50 $3.4175-$3.455 El Paso SJ $3.46-$3.51 $3.4275-$3.48 Waha $3.455-$3.49 $3.41-$3.43 Katy $3.44-$3.49 $3.40-$3.50

This PDA will study the water-energy-pollution nexus in Urumqi and Qingdao cities in the People's Republic of China to help the Ministry of Environmental Protection to effectively design co-control regulation of water, energy, and air pollution.
Completed in March 2013, this PDA helped
The People's Republic of China (PRC) faces severe water and energy shortage by the end of 2020, prompting the country to enforce many pollution control policies. The Ministry of Environmental Protection's (MEP) Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy (PRCEE) is exploring how to integrate the water-energy nexus into its work on creating a co-control method for reducing multiple conventional air pollutants and green house gases (GHGs) concurrently. The PRCEE has begun setting up pilot projects in Urumqi and Qingdao to explore the possibility of designing specific co-control guidelines for local Environmental Protection Bureaus.
This pilot project is a scoping study on how PRC's current co-control analytical methods can be expanded to quantify interactions between water and energy as well as carbon and air pollutants. PRCEE's scoping paper will lay out a roadmap for a larger research initiative to create more robust analytical tools for a co-control policy program for PRC's 13th Five-Year Plan. The research and analysis will result in a knowledge-based product that comprises a comprehensive three-part, online, multi-media report from the field. They will lead to a better understanding of low carbon pilot projects.
This PDA will add significantly to the research, analysis, and thinking that inform and advance ADB's investments and mission around urbanization and energy production, as well as PRC's economic and environmental security.
The project will provide strategic in-depth research to the MEP and PRCEE that significantly increases the knowledge and understanding of the important contest between water consumption and energy production in rich and poor urban areas in PRC, and the opportunities to promote innovation to solve them.

Chapter Sixteen6 Reviews
Thank yew Gerardwayiscute :D
I was stuck. I couldn't give up on Lady Madness but I couldn't let them kill my brother. What was I supposed to do?
I chose to do the only thing I could think of. Keep him talking "You know Korse, I do actually want to hear about your past."
"Kobra, tell me her name." Korse spat "You will not distract me."
"Korse, you expect me to give myself up for this company, correct?" I asked, making up things quickly "Well I'd be more willing to learn your rules if I knew more about the leader. If I knew more about the man that made all of this possible then perhaps-"
"I get the point." Korse interrupted, rolling his eyes "Okay, fine. You wanna hear about my past? Fine, I'll tell you about my past."
Korse started pacing up and down the room "When I was younger I wasn't creative at all. I tried, I honestly did but it didn't work. I couldn't draw or paint, my singing voice was terrible, I never learnt to play an instrument, I couldn't write because I was dyslexic and I couldn't dance to save my life. I didn't have any talents I guess you could say. Well, I was good at Math but nobody really cared. Other children all had these brilliant talents, acting, singing, drawing, you name it. Other children were good at something interesting but I wasn't anything special. This made the others bully me."
"They bullied you for being talentless?"
"Don't interrupt me!" Korse snapped, continuing with his story "So I spent my childhood alone with my math problems." I had to try hard not to laugh at that point "Spending all that time alone made me feel unwanted and uncared for. I turned to self-harm and was really depressed. I decided that no one should be made to feel this way."
"You self-harmed?"
"What have I told you about interrupting? Yes, I did. Anyway, I decided that no one should be made to feel this way. I wanted a world where there was no such thing as creativity and no such thing as colours. Because you see Kobra, another thing you didn't know about me is that I'm colour blind."
I blinked at him. Korse was colour blind? No wonder he was such a grump "At first I felt I didn't want people to feel the pain I suffered. But as the years went on, I began to get angry. Why did I have to suffer? Why were all these other people allowed to feel so happy when I was upset my entire life?" Korse scowled "They had it easy Kobra Kid. I gave them their Better Life. So I decided to show them. To show them all."
"By brainwashing them?" I asked, a little outraged "That's not exactly the greatest method of showing people how you felt."
"I know what Lady Madness told you." Korse smiled "About that killjoy who came in and I ordered her to go and kill her sibling? That's what I can do to people Kobra. I get inside their heads and make them do things they never wanted to do."
"But you were never forced into doing things you never wanted to do! You were just alone!"
"Well, they felt alone and guilty after killing their entire families."
"You're cruel!" I yelled, trying to pull myself away from the chair "Yes your childhood was terrible but the life you're inflicting on other people is even worse!"
"Good!" Korse cried "I hope it is! Do you know what it was like for me? Having nobody to love me? Even my own parents couldn't stand the sight of me and dumped outside an orphanage! And then to have you and your stupid gang of killjoy monkeys going round and insulting me. Especially Agent Anarchy with my hair. Do you know why I'm bald Kobra?" Korse shook his head "That is a different story."
"I really don't wanna know." I sighed heavily "You can't do this to us. Please just change your mind. Let my friends go, set Lady Madness free. You could have anybody you wanted for your bride."
"I know," Korse sniffed "And I have chosen Lady Madness. So who will it be Kobra? Lady Madness or your older brother?"
I took a deep breath. This was it. I had to give up Lady Madness' name. I couldn't live with myself knowing that I had killed off my older brother. And Lady Madness wouldn't be dead… Just brainwashed.
As I opened my mouth to say "It's Jenna." I noticed something over Korse's shoulder. It was Colourful Shadow! I considered crying out but she held her finger to her lips and pointed the memory gun at Korse.
I smiled at Korse "Okay fine… I'll tell you."
I didn't get to tell him (luckily!) because Colourful Shadow shot him in the head. He fell over and hit the floor with a heavy bang. Colourful Shadow untied me quickly from the chair "I don't care what anyone says," Colourful Shadow whispered "I love you guys, alright? And I wasn't about to let anything happen to you."
"Thank you so much!" I gasped, standing up "Okay, do you know where the others are?"
"Yeah," Colourful Shadow replied, grabbing my arm "I'm going to have to make it look like you're a prisoner and that you've given up Lady Madness' name if that makes sense. The other dracs will know something's up if we go strolling down the corridors happily. So act sad Doofus!"
"Alright…" I muttered, stopping my geeky smile and getting all serious.
Colourful Shadow pulled me out into the corridor and I followed, but acting like I really didn't want to. "What are you doing?" A random drac asked us, nearly making my heart stop.
Colourful Shadow remained cool "He's being returned to his friends. Korse has received the information he needs."
She pulled me away "Creep." She muttered under her breath.
We got to a rather large white door with the words 'Killjoy sanctuary' written on it in mud brown writing. I tried the handle but it was locked "What are we supposed to do?"
"I work here, dumbass." Colourful Shadow whispered, pulling out a small silver key from her pocket. She shoved it in the door and unlocked it, pushing it open with a kick of her black boot. I noticed that she was no longer wearing her killjoy outfit but the Better Living uniform. It was really strange.
We both walked slowly into the room. It wasn't a very big room, with a few benches stuck to the walls. Sitting on the benches were my friends. Fun Ghoul spread out by himself, Jet-Star with his arm round Agent Anarchy and Party Poison comforting Screaming Revolver who was sobbing into his chest.
Colourful Shadow said "I know you guys don't trust me for a second after what I've done but I just saved Kobra from Korse, okay? I plan to save the rest of you too."
"And why should we listen to you?" Agent Anarchy asked, frowning.
I took a deep breath "Because she's our only hope of getting out of here so we don't have a choice. Now come on, we need to save Lady Madness."
"Kobra," Colourful Shadow whispered "She's not going to remember you."
"She still doesn't want to marry Korse! We can't leave her here!"
"Kobra, I'm sorry." Party Poison said, pushing Screaming Revolver off him gently and stepping towards me "But Lady Madness is the reason we're in this mess. I hate to say it but it's true. She's a great girl and I wish you could be together but it's just not possible."
"I don't care what you guys think!" I hissed "I'm going to find her. Now."
I pulled away from Colourful Shadow and ran down the corridor.

Adele Tops British List of Top Sexy Time Songs
The Brits may not have a reputation as romantic as that of the French or Italians in Europe, and their choice of lovemaking music may have something to do with that.

Residents of Orange City will pay more for their water, beginning June 15.
The Orange City Council voted 6-1 at the May 28 meeting to raise utility rates.
For 850 of the city's sewer customers, the hike will be substantial -- 58 percent. Water rates will increase 14 percent citywide.
Commercial customers will see increases based on usage.
Henry Durica was the only resident to speak at the meeting. He warned the council this is an election year for three seats on the council.
"Gentlemen, we the citizens are the real cans you'll be kicking down the road with a rate increase," Mr. Durica said.
With the exception of Councilman Tom Abraham, who voted against the increase, council members agreed raising costs to meet needs was the right thing to do -- in the best interest of voting residents.
"We should have been upgrading and repairing our system on a constant basis and we have not been doing that," Councilman Bill Crippen said. "Our water system is deficient and it needs to be fixed."
Councilman Abraham said people have told him they can't pay their bills, that they have been getting "good, clear water."
"Where's the problem?" he said.
Councilman Gary Blair pointed out the infrastructure is in "horrible shape."
"There are places in the city that still have wooden water lines from who knows how long ago," he said "The system needs to be totally redone, and this is the time to do it."
In 2012, the city contracted with Public Resources Management Group Inc. of Maitland to conduct a water, wastewater and reclaimed water revenue sufficiency analysis, the results of which were reviewed and discussed at a public workshop April 9.
At the workshop the council determined a rate increase was "fiscally necessary" to meet ongoing operational and regulatory requirements as well as scheduled capital improvements of utilities.
One compliance measure, already underway, adheres to EPA Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, one part of a set of interrelated regulations that address risks from microbial pathogens and disinfectants/disinfection byproducts.
"It is a new mandate that says we have to treat our water a little differently," said Orange City Finance Director Christine Davis in a phone interview. "It's in engineering where they're testing the water quality and (determining) what it's going to take to bring Orange City into compliance."
She said the cost for implementation will be $2.5 million.
The sufficiency analysis was commissioned because of concerns with the overall condition of the city's water system.
Corrosion of the pipes is resulting in orange water for some customers who are not enjoying the pun.
In a phone interview after the meeting, Public Works Director Paul Johnson explained many of the lines are undersized, four inches and smaller, some as small as three-quarter inch.
"It's a 100-year-old utility," Mr. Johnson said. "Any new lines that are installed at this time need to be at least six inches."
At the April 9 workshop City Manager Jamie Croteau noted that sewer service is provided by Volusia County.
"Some of our customers in the city pay Volusia County rates already, and then some of our customers pay Orange City rates, but we all have Volusia County sewer service," Ms. Croteau said.
It's those customers who have not been paying county rates who will be hardest hit, because the city has to pay the county to treat its wastewater. That cost will now be passed to all rather than a portion of the city's consumers.
In a presentation at the workshop, Henry Thomas, vice president of PRMG, called the water/wastewater management system "the largest business in the city."
He explained Orange City's rate structure provides no revenue for reinvestment in the system, the water rates are not even adequately funding operation and maintenance.
Though there are not a lot of capital improvement needs in the wastewater system because of its size, Mr. Thomas said costs are increasing due to inflation.
"We've got a lot more water customers than we do wastewater," Mr. Thomas said.
However, the customer base is not increasing to pay for the increased costs, he said.
Mr. Thomas noted Orange City has not had the resources to adequately plan for the future and instead has been replacing lines as they break.
Due to its healthy reserves, the city also has the option to subsidize rate increases by phasing in the rate increase over a multi-year period, he said, which would help relieve the financial impact on the water customers. The plan was established anticipating minimal growth in the customer base.
Capital needs for the next five years were identified at $12.9 million, according to city documents.
Recommending what he called a "must do -- not a, we want" project strategy, Mr. Thomas identified priorities such as public health and safety and quality of service to include the EPA regulatory project and replacing undersized and old lines.
"It's about managing our assets wisely," Mr. Thomas said.
"The water side has been subsidizing the sewer side," Ms. Davis explained. "Now we're leveling it out."
She said without reserves, the city would have to fund capital improvements completely with debt, and agreed the city's $3 to $4million in reserves will help, but not enough for Orange City to pay as it goes.
"We'll have to take out some debt and take out some reserves," Ms. Davis said.
The system's revenues will repay the debt.
Orange City's last utility rate increase was in 2010.

Talk to a Zone Specialist: 800-404-8171
By Dr. Barry Sears
Dr. Sears talks with Cecilia Morel, the First Lady of Chile. Dr. Sears gives a lecture in Argentina.
Last week I completed a 10-day visit to Argentina and Chile, giving a number of seminars on the Zone Diet in both countries. With the support of our Zone partners in each country, significant progress was made in introducing the Zone Diet concept to their respective populations.
Our Argentinean partners put together an extensive media tour that included the major newspapers and magazines in that country. In addition, I made several scientific presentations to a variety of medical schools that linked the relationship of diet to cellular inflammation. At the same time, I was pleasantly surprised to find that several members of the National Team in soccer were also Zone devotees.
In addition, I met with a high-ranking official of the Argentina Olympic Committee who has been given the responsibility to bring home 10 Gold medals in the 2016 Olympics in neighboring Brazil. As a long-term Zone advocate himself, he told me that he is making following of the Zone Diet mandatory for the athletes he believes have the greatest chance to be Gold-medal winners.
I should mention that while Argentinean beef may be the best in the world, the portions served were gigantic. I had to apologize to the owners of the various restaurants that I eat only the amount beef that can fit in the palm of my hand. It was not a reflection on the quality of the beef, but a commitment to Zone principles.
Going to Chile led to another excellent reception of the Zone Diet ranging from my meeting with the First Lady of Chile to discuss childhood obesity in Chile. (It's as bad as in the United States.) A talk at the 9th International Conference on Alternative Medicine in addition to giving seminars at several medical schools followed this special event. Unlike the Argentineans, the Chileans are not big consumers of beef but massive consumers of bread. This makes bringing the Zone Diet to Chile a little more difficult than Argentina (where they only have to reduce the amount of beef consumed at a meal). But since Chile is also one of the largest producers of fruits and vegetables in the world, it is possible for the substitution of those colorful carbohydrates for bread and pasta.
Fortunately in both countries I was secure in the knowledge that both Zone partners had already developed good foundations to maintain the surging interest in the Zone Diet that I perceived in my presentations. After all, if the Zone Diet can make it in Italy and Spain, it can also happen in these two countries, which have among the highest percentage of their population in Latin America is made up of immigrants from Spain and Italy more than 100 years ago.

Medical examiners confirmed a man found shot inside a North Las Vegas home in an apparent domestic dispute died by his own hands.
According to the Clark County Coroner's office, Ronnie Lee Boal, 67, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Boal and a 23-year-old woman were found shot at about noon Saturday in a neighborhood near Ann Road and Allen Lane, according to North Las Vegas police.
Officers were called to a home on reports of gunshots, when they were confronted by a 67-year-old man armed with a handgun.
As soon as the officers commanded the man to drop the weapon, police said he killed himself with a gunshot to the head. He died at the scene.
Officers found the man's wife at a neighbor's front yard. Police said she was suffering from at least one gunshot wound and was transported to University Medical Center.
Police learned the husband and wife were separated, and the woman went to the home to exchange some sort of property. A dispute erupted and the husband shot the wife, police believed.
Police said she made it into the front yard before collapsing. A neighbor, armed with a handgun, rescued the woman from the yard and moved her to safety.
As of Monday, authorities have not updated publicly the woman's condition.

We were very pleasantly surprised with the quality and location of this hotel. Unsure of how the town was laid out, we took a chance on this hotel and what a great find it was! The lobby was lovely, with several places to sit and chill out from a long day of sightseeing. The rooms were small, but well appointed, especially the very large showers. While we only spent one night here, we would definitiely recommend this hotel to others.

UPDATE 1-Economy weighs on Steel Dynamics forecast
Oct 18 (Reuters) - Steel Dynamics Inc likely will post fourth-quarter results that are little changed from three months earlier, when it was hurt by weak demand for automotive industry products and consumer appliances.The Fort Wayne, Indiana-based steel producer and metals recycler reported a third-quarter per-share profit that missed Wall Street estimates by a penny. Revenue was higher than expected."Current financial expectations for Q4 suggest a similar financial result as Q3," said Chief Operating Officer Mark Millett in a conference call on Tuesday.Steel use is expected to increase 6.5 percent this year, less than half as much as 2010's growth rate of 15.1 percent, the World Steel Association said in a report last week.2012 does not appear likely to buck any steel trends."We're probably going to have some progress made during that year, but it's not going to be substantial," said Chief Executive Keith Busse, whom Millett will succeed as CEO next year.Steel Dynamics was founded in 1993. It started producing steel in 1996, and competes with U.S. Steel , AK Steel and Nucor Corp .The company's shares, which have lost about 40 percent of their value this year, were up 3 percent at $11.20 on the Nasdaq stock market.

Adventures with FDIC secrecy, cont.
Last week, we saw how the Federal Housing Finance Agency was above the law, with the government seemingly having no ability to tell it what to do. This week, itâs the FDIC. In the wake of its obstreporous obstructionism upon receipt of FOIA requests, the FDICâs smug above-the-law impunity is now coming to light: JunketSleuth worked for months with an attorney from the Office of Governmental Information Services, which mediates disputes between federal agencies and people requesting public records under FOIA. The attorney was able to help persuade a number of other agencies to provide JunketSleuth with electronic and paper travel records. But she was unable to get the FDIC to provide the exact same types of records⦠Federal agencies routinely violate FOIA, as theyâve done since the law was created decades ago. Still, few agencies have rejected requests identical to those that others have granted, especially when the governmentâs own attorneys (in this case at OGIS) have worked with the agencies to secure access to the records. This letter, in particular, from the FDIC simply drips with contempt and condescension for anybody daring to file a FOIA from the FDIC. And the long history of correspondence in this case clearly exhibits an utter lack of goodwill at the FDIC, or any desire at all to comply with the spirit of the FOIA law. In general, itâs the financial agencies within the government â the FHFA, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve (especially the NY Fed, which considers itself not to be a public entity at all), and of course Treasury â which are by far the worst when it comes to transparency and disclosure. Weâre constantly told that certain information is commercially sensitive, for example, only to discover when it finally does get disclosed that thereâs nothing commercially sensitive about it. Iâm not sure how to fix this. The White House doesnât seem to be able to change anything: Barack Obama, for instance, released an executive memo on his inauguration day, making it clear that the Freedom of Information Act âshould be administered with a clear presumption: In the face of doubt, openness prevails.â The financial arms of government barely blinked, and continued in their secretive ways. But in this one particular case, at least, I think it might help if a sympathetic journalist started asking for the FDICâs travel records independently from JunketSleuth. The FDIC doesnât consider JunketSleuth a legitimate news organization, and seems to be treating it with especial prejudice. Would they send these kind of letters to an established mainstream news outlet which asked for the exact same information? Thereâs only one way to find out. Update: Andrew Gray of the FDIC responds by email: Im regretting not getting involved the first time that this was raised but wanted to commit to you that I will personally look into it to see what the issues are. From my experience, the FDIC is strongly in favor of the transparency required in both the letter and spirit of FOIA. I know of at least two recent sensitive requests from your Reuters colleagues that were handled to their full satisfaction and have worked with numerous other news outlets and other outside individuals to ensure that their requests are handled appropriately and expeditiously. While I still need to learn more about the facts in this specific request, I would submit that it is a bit of a stretch to cast a sweeping generalization about our commitment to FOIA based on this one case. Particularly during the last few years, the FDIC has consistently demonstrated is commitment to openness and transparency. We make public extremely detailed data about the banking industry, our P&A agreements from failed banks, structured sales and other programs. During the crisis, we led the development, implementation and management of the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, including posting public monthly reporting on debt issuances. As an agency, we have led an unprecedented and voluntary transparency initiative throughout the implementation of Dodd/Frank, including posting the names and affiliations in all meetings with outside groups. Our mission is public confidence â and our reputation as an agency has been enhanced by our willingness to be forthcoming with the public about our actions and views.
RPT-Gross' PIMCO makes a big move into mortgages
NEW YORK Oct 13 (Reuters) - Bill Gross, manager of the world's largest bond fund, ramped up buying of mortgage-backed securities in September on the likelihood the Federal Reserve's reinvestment program in those securities will boost prices significantly.Gross increased mortgage debt to 38 percent of assets in his $242 billion PIMCO Total Return Fund in September, from 32 percent in August, as the U.S. central bank announced last month that it "will now reinvest principal payments from its holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities in agency mortgage-backed securities."PIMCO's latest bet on mortgages isn't going unnoticed.Gross, who helps oversee $1.2 trillion as co-chief investment officer at PIMCO, made headlines earlier this year and came under heavy criticism when the manager widely known as the "bond king" bet heavily against U.S. Treasuries — one of the biggest outperformers of this year.His move into mortgage-backed securities also comes as the PIMCO Total Return fund's cash equivalents and money-market securities fell to negative 19 percent September, from negative 9 percent in August.In having a so-called negative position in cash equivalents and money-market securities, it is an indication of derivative use and short-term securities being put up as collateral as a way to boost leverage and increase the fund's holdings in bonds with longer maturities such as mortgage-backed securities, Treasuries and corporate bonds, according to Eric Jacobson, director of fixed-income research at Morningstar who has covered PIMCO for more than a decade.Over the years, some analysts in the fixed-income world have pointed out that Gross' use of derivatives to boost leverage and exposure to higher-yielding assets is what distinguishes the Total Return Fund from an ordinary plain vanilla bond fund."One very basic thing to know, too, is that PIMCO classifies anything with a duration of one year or shorter as cash — regardless of sector," Jacobson added.Jacobson said after careful examination of the PIMCO fund's effective duration of 7.14 years — about double over the last six months — "it doesn't necessarily mean PIMCO raised their pure interest-rate risk to the United States. They didn't double down on Treasuries."Rather, PIMCO took on "loose" interest rate risk to other credit and government markets, he said, noting that the Total Return fund increased exposure in non-U.S. developed and emerging markets securities in September.Duration is a bond's sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations, and going longer duration is an investment strategy when rates are expected to remain low or drop further and vice versa.All told, the PIMCO Total Return fund's bad call on Treasuries earlier this year has cost it.It is up only 1.06 percent year to date versus the benchmark BarCap U.S. Aggregate Index which is up 3.99 percent. But on a three-year basis, the fund is up 10.14 percent against the benchmark's 9.36 percent returns. The fund has also held up well over the last five years, with the fund up 7.80 percent versus the BarCap's 5.48 percent returns.

Comments about String Swing 5 Guitar Hanger:
This was exactly what I needed! I bought three, and now, all of my guitars are on display and within reach. The entire rack (mounting plate and hangers) is very sturdy. Before it arrived, I was worried about hanging my Fender basses for fear of their being too heavy. They hang perfectly.
The only problem I encountered when mounting the wall plate was the included screws. I could never drive the screws all the way in. I had some 3 1/2" screws, a bit smaller diameter, that worked perfectly.
Another concern that I had was how far the arms, the hangers, would be from the wall since my guitars hang over 2" acoustic panels. The manufacturer's website has more details than listed on MF's site, and I found that helpful: https://www.stringswing.com/product/sw5rl-5-instrument-hanger-system
As always, the product arrived within a couple of days from ordering, and the hangers are packed extremely well.
Overall, very good buy.

Speakin' of Sean bustin' out all over....my son, who was skin and bones a year ago is now a strapping 6'3", 200 lbs with chest and arms bulging muscles from his workouts. I am totally amazed...and he is feeling so good.
He had an appointment with his Baker Prosthetic's this week where they measured and gave him a shrinker for his amp leg in prep for his prosthetic.
They said they are waiting for the charity to release funds but showed him the "starter leg" that he will be receiving. Sean said it was amazing all the pivotal points in the knee, ankle and toes. He is really excited and looking forward to trying it out.
So, now we need to send energies to the Charity to release the funds so that we can proceed.
Also, I just got approved for putting in a wheelchair ramp at our apartment so Sean can be able to come visit in his wheelchair. Now, I have to do research as to what kind and who can install and get it done. As well, I got Sean approved for MITS (Mobility Impaired Transportation Service) which can transport him from the facility to our apartment for a visit and then come pick him up to return him to the facility.
So, we have a lot to look forward to - home visits until he is ready to come home permanantly. All in all everything is going very well. And it is so great to have him just 2 minutes away from home. I could walk him home if there was access under the interstate for a wheelchair, but alas there is not. So, we will just use MITS.
Sean asked me, as he does everyday, "How was your day?" And, as always, I said, "Great!" He said, "You always have a great day, don't you?" I said, "Yes, I do. I don't have bad days, I may have bad moments, but I quickly change that because I don't like how it feels." He said, "You choose, don't you?" I said, "Yes, I choose, I choose to have a great day." He said, "I am so glad you choose."
Today my boss, Carroll, said to me, "You are so good to me." I said, "You are so good to me, too." She said, "I love you." I said, "I love you, too!"
Did I have a great day? Ahhhh, yes, I most certainly did...I am so very blessed!
It was another great sharing day with Sean and Sweetpea as we shared our evening meal. Peg has found a wonderful cottage just across the street from Sean's facility and only two blocks from where I live. She will return to New Mexico this week to gather up her stuff and move here next month. How wonderful is that for us to have our best friend here with us. I bless her for choosing to join us here and thank her for loving us so very much that she would come to "Texas". ahahah, that is a joke as she is from Chicago and never would have dreamed of living in Texas. I can't wait for her to pick up the "southern drawl" here. ahahahah! I told her, "You are now a Texan! You have a Texas address!"
For those of you who know our humor, that is a huge deal! ahahahaha!
Anyway, Sean is doing just great. He is still waiting for his prothesis and hopefully that will be coming soon. In the mean time he is working out to build up his upper body. I have to say, he has massive arms now. And his smile lends me to know that he is really proud of where he is at now.
So, my dear friends, please continue with your loving healing energy prayers and intentions for they are so working for my beautiful son. There will come a day when he will write his own story on this board. He is continually grateful for all the love and care that you all lend. Please continue with us on our wonderful journey.
Love you all,
super news!
Awesome! I've been wondering if Peg found a place to live already! Glad things are working out so well. Prayers continuing ~ sounds like things are definitely falling into place for you all!!
Lura :)
Deb, I am beyond happy for you, Sean and Peg! Such wonderful news.
Love and hugs.
Need some help here!
Sean is experiencing swelling in his lower extremities and we don't know what that is caused from. Whether it be blood clot or kidneys, it is causing him great discomfort. They are working now to do all they can to find out the cause.
Could use an extra dose of healing energies and intentions for Sean's highest good!!!
We had a wonderful day today. I took sirloin steak, loaded potatoes and aspargus for our "Mother's Day" Lunch. We watched, "Trouble with the Curve" movie with Clint Eastwood. Then we put together the Herb Garden that Sean got me for Mother's Day. It was a wonderful day.
He has been doing so well except for the UTI infection. We haven't experienced this swelling before though. So, thank you, each and everyone for continuing to join us along this healing journey.
Love you all,

oh Deb....am so sorry about this. He was doing so well while I was there, except for that infection which they were already treating.
You bet, am keeping him in my prayers and sending lots of love/light energies to provide what he most needs right now for his highest good.
So hard to believe...because when I was there last year he was so emaciated, almost skeletal, and when I saw him on my visit the last several weeks I couldn't believe how healthy he looks. What a difference...he has gained weight and built up his arm muscles thru physical therapy. Looks so good...see pix below...
Hugging you too , my friend, and am so glad you both got to enjoy a good Mother's Day. That was special...
