Detroit Emergency Financial Manager Kevyn Orr reads one page of the 128 page City of Detroit Proposal to Creditors while answering questions from the Detroit Free Press editorial board at the newspaper in Detroit on Friday June 14, 2013. After making his pitch to creditors gathered at the Westin hotel at Detroit Metro Airport Orr came to the Free Press to talk more about the proposal and his plan to creditors to get the city solvent again by spinning off the city's water department and other things and stop debt payments using that money to keep the city running.

Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr talked to the Free Press Editorial Board on Friday after releasing his restructuring plan for Detroit to the citys creditors. Excerpts from the conversation are below.
Question: One thing you said is the city is doomed if it continues to lose people, so tell me what in this plan should give me hope if Im a city resident or thinking about moving here?
Answer: The city, as we know it, will change if we dont make changes. We want to provide a level of services that is commensurate with what a forward-thinking, productive and inviting city should have. People should not have the view that Detroit is somehow irreversibly crime ridden. ... If you think your neighbor painting their house the wrong color impacts the potential value of the single largest asset most Americans will ever buy, which is their house, imagine what its like living next door to a house thats burned out with a falling down roof with a tree growing out of it. Why would anyone want to move next door to that? Thats not rational behavior.
So we have to get to a point where rational people want to engage in rational behavior, which is moving to an attractive environment or at least an environment with a future. And thats been done in other cities, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Washington, D.C., and it can be done here. But this is the first step in doing that.
Q: So talk us through the plan itself a line or two on what the impact on residents, impact on employees and the impact on creditors will be?
A: Residents, I think, who are not city employees, will look at the plan favorably. The plan attempts to restore city services and blight remediation. It envisions a way of rationalizing city assets that will facilitate an income stream that the city needs to achieve some of these goals that have been talked about. Belle Isle, that was voted down and then voted up but passed again. Well, were not going to do that kind of thing. Were going to do whats right.
So, first of all, for the residents, I think they will look at this very favorably, because for once, they have what I like to think of as a true and accurate representation of the financial mission of the city. Its not necessarily attractive, but its true. They have a plan to try to restore better benefits for them, which should enhance their property values, should enhance their quality of life, should enhance the safety and security of their children, which I think anybody wants.
I recognize that for the employees there are going to be aspects of the plan that are troubling. Nobody wants to hear retirement benefits and health care are going to be impacted in any way. ... But there is no other way for us to get to where we need to go. ...
I dont think the creditors are surprised at all. Theyve been looking at the city status for a long, long time, and in their heart of hearts, they know this is not sustainable. That you simply cant carry almost $18 billion in debt on a billion-dollar gross in city services. At best, in any given year, is maybe a couple hundred million dollars of service of debt. The bookends are the residents will be happy, the creditors will be sober and rational, the employees and retirees are going to be distressed.
Q: How quickly will you hear back from those creditors?
A. Weve been in discussions with some creditors this week. We are hopeful that well be able to announce a settlement with one category of creditors within the next week or two. We have been reaching out to our creditor classes and have been saying, Please come in and talk to us. ... The sooner you come in, the better treatment you might get, because there is a value to you coming in and giving us greater access to our revenue.
Q. So you propose to reinvest $1.2 billion in city services over 10 years, which is about $125 million dollars a year, which is not that much money. How soon do you think well start to see that reinvestment and what will it look like?
A. Some of the reinvestment is going to occur right away. We did not make the payment that was due on our swaps today. That is approximately $39.7 million. In the next two weeks, were going to have a new police chief, the public lighting authority this week selected DTE to be the account manager for the lighting authority to get lights on. So frankly, my perspective is, I had hoped to achieve some of these things almost a month and half, two months ago. Its taking a little longer than I had hoped. They will start seeing that, you know not in a 139 miles, but immediately at the city level within weeks or days.
Q: You said in this report that you dont believe there is an obligation under our state constitution to pay pensions if the city cant afford it?
A: The reason we said it that way is to quantify the bankruptcy question. We think federal supremacy trumps state law.
Q: Which the 9th Circuit agrees for now.
A: It is what it is so we said that in a soft way of saying, Dont make us go into bankruptcy. If you think your state-vested pension rights, either as an employee or retiree thats not going to protect you. If we dont reach an agreement one way or the other, we feel fairly confident that the state federal law, federalism, will trump state law or negotiate. The irony of the situation is we might reach a deal with creditors quicker because employees and retirees think there is some benefit and that might force our hand. That might force a bankruptcy.
Q. Services you spent a lot of time talking about services and the need to improve. How fast will residents see improvements?
A. Its going slower than I had anticipated. Im hoping that we will start seeing lights getting hung, better police performance and others certainly this summer, EMTs and other things. One of the reason we essentially defaulted by not making the payment (on Friday) was to have some income. ... We didnt default just so we would have free cash. We need it. We cant make it.
One of the lines I had at Mondays meeting showed what our cash flow would look like but for the funded debt. And it was negative. Basically, we would have negative cash flow without borrowing money. We just cant do that anymore.
Q: Public safety is probably the No. 1 issue here. You say there are going to be improvements. Where will the money be spent?
A: First, the command center is going to put in some new IT. Were going to have a better jail management system. Were going to hopefully get a better dispatch system. Were going to get a better records management system, but at the grass-roots level, we also want to get our police vehicles upgraded with IT so our police officers will have access to data in the car itself. There is some movement in policing that your office becomes your car. ...
In some cities, 7% of the people create 90% of the murders but you have to have that kind of data to know who those perpetrators are so you can track it. This is kind of wonky stuff. Its not like were going have a whole bunch of new police cars, and we dont have a helicopter, were getting one donated to us, but we dont have a helicopter in this city. ...
Our officers dont have Tasers, so the risk of deadly force goes from 0 to 60 real quick. If youre a cop on the beat, and there are two perpetrators, you dont have extra handcuffs, so your risk of trying to get one handcuffed and one coming at you and getting your gun is high, so youre in a stressful situation. We dont have business cards. So when they go to do a canvass, they cant give someone their card and tell them to call them if they see something. So things like that.
Its not like youre going to see, like, 2,000 more police in the city and calls will be answered in seven minutes. Although Chief (James) Craig has shown he has the ability to do that. What you are going to see are police practices. Ive said time and again Im not looking for the honors level for city services Ill just take a gentlemens B, B plus somewhere in there. Where we are is unacceptable.
Q: Do you see raises for police and fire?
A: Not so much raises, but the cuts that were incurred and work rules, I think, are awful. Mandatory overtime. I understand why it was done, but a 12-hour shift is a 14-hour day. Day after day. And its a stressful environment. Are we planning as a city to have that go forth indefinitely? Is that sustainable? Statute says sustainable fashion doesnt just mean debt, it means how the city operates, so weve got to look at things like that.
I dont know if we have to hire more police. Do we need to get police working smarter and more efficiently, and freeing them of some of the work rules and restrictions that they have, and giving them the tools? So when the good cop wants to come and canvass with the retired grandmother, he doesnt have to come back to that neighborhood at some point thats an inefficiency thats time away from his patrol. Its astounding whats happening in policing these days, and we have to get some of that.
Q: Do you have a larger vision for the notion of Detroit becoming a great city?
A: Ive got lots of ideas, but part of this is going to depend on things I dont have control over. Someone said Monday night, What are you going to do about Dan Gilbert buying up all the property in the city? I said: You ever heard of William Randolph Hearst? He helped create L.A. Ever heard of John Jacob Astor or David Rockefeller? They helped build New York. Ever heard of Henry Flagler? He built something called the East Coast Railway, which helped create Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, the Overseas Highway. All great cities have private sector patrons and people like Dan Gilbert and others. ...
What does Detroit want to be? Does it want to attract high tech? Does it want to create great trade route because Canada is going to build you a $6-billion bridge?
Youve got all this infrastructure for automobiles. Dont you want to use light materials? You have great car companies overseas building carbon fiber. Well, you have the technology here to build it dont you want to reach out from your core industry? Yeah, there are a lot of good opportunities here for someone with vision. What happens in three, five, 10 years out? Who are we going to be as a city and what is the vision? Dan Gilbert has some of that vision. Youve got a waterfront down here down by the post office that should be some of the greatest real estate in the city, and its fenced off. ...
You go to San Francisco they had an earthquake that devastated it, and it is thriving with lofts now right along the water. Why dont we have that? What will bring people to the city? A water view. Build a park mixed use kids will come down there. ... Make it safe, you can connect it with the RiverWalk so you can go all the way through the city. You could spend the whole day on the river for free.
You have to have that kind of leader with vision who says were going to make that happen. Its not a friends and family plan for federal grants. Its developments and plans that are going to make it work for the entire city. So when they come down to Cobo, when they come down to the city for the game, they dont leave. They come down and they stay because its fun. Look at Bayside in Miami, where people go after the basketball games why dont we have people staying downtown after the game?

Wind Proves to Be a Foe [5:05 AM]
New York Times reports: 'In the second quarter, the Jets went into the wind, which prevented them from trying a field goal from Buffalo's 29-yard line as time expired. Edwards asked Hall if he thought he could make the kick — it would have been about a 47-yard attempt — and Hall said no.'
Clock Ticking on Jets [5:04 AM]

Finally, Bills get big break [5:03 AM]
New York Post reports: '"It would have been easy for us just to give up and go home," said Van Pelt. "Ever since I've been here, that's not the way we've done things, no matter what the odds are."'
Jets not looking for help to get in [5:03 AM]
New York Post reports: 'Given the way the Jets played yesterday and their recent history in critical games, a win over Oakland is hardly a given - but the Raiders' recent performance doesn't make them world-beaters, either.'
A wrong time coming [5:03 AM]
New York Post reports: 'All the Jets needed, after showing no absolutely killer instinct and letting the Bills hang around all day and making Alex Van Pelt throw like Jim Kelly and Shawn Bryson run like Thurman Thomas, was the kind of grace under pressure that champions show you with a game, and, quite possibly, a season, on the line. In other words, the moment seized them instead of them seizing the moment.'
Good soldier, but... [5:03 AM]
New York Post reports: 'The Jets didn't need a good solider yesterday. They needed a renegade. All they had was Testaverde.'
Curtis vaults to top in rushing race [5:03 AM]

Read It and Weep: Jets Can't Stop the Sweep [5:02 AM]
New York Newsday reports: 'It wasn't that the Jets allowed Bryson to break off huge chunks of yardage (he averaged just 3.8 on 28 carries), it was that they allowed Buffalo to gain a nine-minute advantage in time of possession.'
Ill Wind Blows For Jets [5:02 AM]
New York Newsday reports: 'Of course, everything would have been fine if the Jets' defense had been able to slow the Bills' running attack, which allowed them to keep the ball for 10:15 in the third quarter to the Jets' 4:45.'
A rapid descent for Jets as Bills prevail [5:01 AM]
Newark Star Ledger reports: 'Against Buffalo, the Jets didn't play well in any phase of the game.'
Jets stop short of blaming Testaverde [5:01 AM]
Newark Star Ledger reports: 'No one pinned the Jets' 14-9 loss to Buffalo directly on Testaverde. But no one was saying he had a banner day, either.'
The play not made raises plenty of questions [5:01 AM]
Newark Star Ledger reports: '...shouldn't Testaverde be looking to throw into the end zone when he's down five points with 13 seconds remaining? "Yeah, but he didn't," coach Herman Edwards said. Why not? "Because he didn't throw it in the end zone," Edwards said.'
Another crash with a no-fault policy [5:01 AM]
Newark Star Ledger reports: 'Let's hear this band of compulsive chokers and perennial losers explain why they are deserving of even one ounce of esteem in the wake of this pathetic mess of a 14-9 loss to the Buffalo Bills, the 3-12 Buffalo Bills, the playing-out-the-string Buffalo Bills.'

Edwards sensed [5:00 AM]
Bridgewater Courier News reports: '"They were able to run the football on us and they killed us," Edwards said. "They ran around the end and they made plays and we didn't. We had a chance at times to make plays and we didn't get it done."'
Time to point a finger [4:58 AM]
Albany Times Union reports: 'So much for a 15-year veteran and supposed team leader actually standing up and taking some responsibility. "He can change (a play call)," Hackett said. "That's happened before."'

The Royal Malaysian Navy corvette KD Terengganu and a U.S. Navy MH-60R Sea Hawk helicopter conduct a coordinated air and sea search for a missing Malaysian Airlines jet in the Gulf of Thailand on March 13. Based on new information, the Navy is shifting assets to the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean. (OS1 Claudia Franco/Navy via AP)
- Filed Under
In the week-old search for the Malaysian Airlines passenger jet that mysteriously disappeared, the U.S. Navy is shifting its search westward and bringing in one of its newest surveillance aircraft to help scan the Indian Ocean.
The Navy is moving the destroyer Kidd toward the Bay of Bengal, significantly outside the planned flight path for the aircraft that was carrying 239 passengers on a flight from Malaysia to Beijing before it disappeared on March 8.
The Navy is also bringing in a P-8A Poseidon, an anti-submarine aircraft that carries a crew of nine sailors along with some of the U.S. militarys most advanced intelligence and reconnaissance sensors, Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Steve Warren said Friday.
The P-8A Poseidon, out of Kadena Air Base, Japan, will be flying over the western search area in the Indian Ocean, Warren said.
New reports suggest the aircraft was deliberately flown off course onto flight paths typically used for flights heading to the Middle East and Europe. Evidence suggests its engines continued to operate for several hours after its transponders were disabled, raising the possibility that it was hijacked, according to a Reuters report Friday.
U.S. military officials declined to discuss the intelligence that led to the shift in the search area, which initially focused on the aircrafts planned flight path over the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea.
Warren did say that the shift was requested by the Malaysian government.
The P-8A Poseidon joined the Navy fleet last year and will replace the P-3 Orion.
The U.S. Navy assets are among the dozens of ships and aircraft from 13 counties that are assisting in the search.

Swedish Defense Minister Karin Enström, right, walks next to his Brazilian counterpart, Celso Amorim, during a meeting in Brasilia last month. Brazil this week selected Saab's Gripen E for its fighter competition. (AFP)
- Filed Under
HELSINKI — Saabs pending sale of 36 Gripen E combat aircraft to Brazil will have the second-order effect of reducing Swedens own spend on the purchase of 60 Gripen E aircraft.
The savings will come from spreading the risk and the Gripen Es overall cost of development and delivery. Savings will be passed on to the Swedish armed forces core budget, according to senior government officials in Stockholm.
With a provisional sale value of US $4.5 billion, Swedish Defense Minister Karin Enström described the deal-finalization negotiations between Saab and the Brazilian Air Force as having the potential to deliver Swedens biggest-ever defense export deal.
Having a second international partner in the Gripen fighter development project represents a huge positive for us. It will mean a greater synergy value and sharing of costs. It will leave more funds available for Swedens Armed Forces to channel to its core operations, Enström said.
The negotiations leading to a finalized deal with Brazil will not be rushed, and could take up to 12 months or more, she said.
Brazils move to replace its aging Mirage 2000 fleet with the Gripen E had an instant and dramatic impact on Saabs shares Thursday. Saabs primary share soared 27 percent in price in Stockholm, adding $350 million to the companys market value.
Switzerland is currently the sole international partner in the Gripen E development project. The Swiss government wants to purchase 22 aircraft for $3.3 billion. Against a backdrop of political opposition to the acquisition, the issue will be decided by referendum in May 2014.
A deal with Brazil would cement the future of the Gripen E development project beyond 2025, said Peter Hultqvist, the chairman of Swedens Parliamentary Committee on Defense.
While the Swiss partner role is important, anything can happen in politics and depending on how the 2014 referendum swings the Gripen E program could be left without a mandatory international partner, Hultqvist said. A finalized deal with Brazil would copper-fasten the Gripen Es development and help attract new international buyers for Gripen.
In January, the Swedish government approved the purchase of 60 Gripen E and F (one- and two-seater) aircraft at a cost of $9 billion. The government added a stipulation that it could cancel the order without penalty if international partners could not be found to purchase at least 20 Gripen E aircraft.
The timing of Brazils selection of the Gripen E over rivals Boeings F/A-18 Super Hornet and Frances Dassault Rafale surprised political leaders in Sweden, Hultqvist said.
There was an expectation that President Dilma Rousseff would delay any decision until after presidential elections in 2014 or improvements could be made in the economy, Hultqvist said. That said, there has been a sense in Sweden that Saab was making steady gains against competitors over the past six months. The NSA factor may also have helped Swedens case.
Swedish officials agree that the cooling of political relations between Brazil and Washington in August, coming in the wake of allegations by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden that the security agency had intercepted telephone calls between Rousseff and her closest associates, advanced the case for neutral Swedens Gripen E selection.
Brazils decision means that Saab will need to upscale both production and manpower, said Lennart Sindahl, president of Saab Aeronautics. The final value of the sale will not be clear until negotiations are well advanced and all aspects of Saabs 3,600-page offer document are covered, Sindahl said.
Saabs offer document covers a broad range of cooperation that extends beyond delivery of the Gripen E. Proposals covering counter-trade, the production and assembly of Gripen parts and systems in Brazil, as well as closer collaboration in global markets between Saab and Brazils aerospace industry headed by Embraer, feature high in the offer document.
The Swedish government expects that the main part of the Gripen Es assembly will continue to be based at the groups chief Swedish production site in Linköping. What exactly will happen will be decided in the negotiations. Some parts will be produced in Sweden and some in Brazil. The parts that are produced in Brazil may also be produced for a global market. We do not see this affecting production in Sweden. This is a production model we have used in other cases before, Sindahl said.
Under an upscaled Gripen production cycle, Saab would be capable of delivering the first 12 Gripen Es to Brazil in 2018. First deliveries to the Swedish Air Force will also begin that year and continue up to 2027.
Sweden is fully prepared to add weight to smooth the path to a final contract, said Petter Lahm, a Berlin-based industry analyst.
The fact that Swedens Wallenberg industrial empire is a major owner in Saab creates all kinds of possible added-value opportunities between industries in Sweden and Brazil. What this deal will do is bring these two countries closer together in a political and industrial sense. We may also see off-shoot ventures between Saab and Embraer to perhaps jointly produce a Gripen F two-seater version or collaborate in developing the Embraer KC-390 transport plane for the international marketplace, Lahm said.
Sweden, which is looking to reinforce its Air Forces transport capacity, could also decide to strengthen its position in the talks by committing to the purchase of one or more Embraer KC-390s, Lahm said.
Gripen C/D aircraft form the backbone of five nations air defenses. Apart from Sweden, the aircraft is used by air forces in South Africa, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Thailand.

First-year head coach J.R. Zemke admits there might be a few nerves when his Oshkosh West wrestling team opens the season tonight at Menasha, since the meet will mark his return to the bench after pacing the sidelines as the Lourdes Academy football coach.

By Kevin Oklobzija , Rochester Democrat & Chronicle
With the NHL in lockdown due to yet another labor stalemate, the Buffalo Sabres will give their fans American Hockey League action for at least one night.
The Sabres are moving one Rochester Americans home game: from Oct. 21 at Blue Cross Arena at the Rochester Community War Memorial to Oct. 23 at the First Niagara Center in downtown Buffalo.
If the lockout extends well into December, one or more additional Amerk games could be moved to Buffalo. But Sabres president Ted Black said nothing else in October or November will be touched.
Black said he understands that many Amerk season-ticket holders may not like the switch, but added that every attempt will be made to make the switch as painless as possible.
Fans with tickets to the Oct. 21 game can exchange them for a 100-level seat in Buffalo. Fans who cannot, or chose not to, attend the game at First Niagara Center can exchange the Oct. 21 ticket for another Amerk ticket or a refund.
He said additional perks are in the works.
The Hamilton game was chosen based on a "hockey-first" reasoning, Black said.
It would have been the third game in three nights for the Amerks, with a 5:05 p.m. start time after a 7:05 p.m. game in Hershey, Pa., the previous night.
Moving it to Tuesday in Buffalo eliminates the three-in-three stretch, which is taxing on players and often leads to mediocre play in the third game.
The move also makes sense from a business and fan-experience standpoint. Sunday games during the NFL season have drawn poorly in Rochester for the past decade.
Also, the game was the third game of the weekend at the War Memorial. The Amerks are home to play Grand Rapids on Friday, Oct. 19, and then Rochester Institute of Technology will play Penn State the next night.
"We thought there would have been market fatigue with three straight games," Black said.
The Oct. 21 game also would have been the third straight night with games for Hamilton, so the Bulldogs weren't opposed to the switch, he said.
"Plus, there are a lot of Montreal Canadiens fans in the Niagara peninsula," he said.
Even if the NHL lockout would miraculously end before Oct. 23, the game will remain in Buffalo for the sake of logistics.
During the 2004-05 NHL lockout, the Amerks played four games in Buffalo (one each in November, December, March and April) and averaged 15,160 fans.
The Amerks were already scheduled to play a road game in an NHL building: against Hamilton in the Bell Centre in Montreal on Feb. 22.

Applications received after the deadline will be sent to the department for consideration. However, departments begin reviewing applicants the day after the deadline, so the amount of aid decreases the longer you wait after the deadline. Requests for financial aid are reviewed by each graduate unit. About a month after the departments receive the applications, they submit their aid recommendations to the Graduate School.

Conewago Valley School District officials have approved establishing a limit on the number of days per year that can be used for prearranged absences.
Superintendent Rebecca Harbaugh said the district's prearranged absence rules were first established in 1986 and there were no limit on the number of days that could be used for non-school sponsored tours and family trips.
The policy revision will limit the number of prearranged absences to 10 days per year, Harbaugh said. The change was unanimously approved by the school board.
In order to be excused for an educational trip, a student must have a satisfactory scholastic and attendance record and must make up any work missed during the absence, according to the district's website.
Applications for a prearranged absence must be returned to the school office at least one week prior to the absence, Harbaugh said.

|Jacobs will reportedly step into the ring for JPP on TNA. Just FYI. (Getty Images)
Lovers of fine television theatre cameos shed a tear when Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul declined to rumble against Kurt Angle in Monday's TNA Wrestling event. But fear not, fine patrons: running back Brandon Jacobs will reportedly take his place on Monday night.
That's according to Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com, who writes that the 6'4", 264-pound Giants running back will be the one squaring off against Angle in a segment that will air Thursday on Spike TV.
If we want to take this a step further (which is one step too far, really), let's now point out that Jacobs is actually a better fit than JPP when it comes to wrestling. Sure, JPP is a freakish athlete.
But Jacobs is a brute force. He's a tippy-toed wrecking ball whose wreckless behavior is a perfect symbol of wrasslin. And while JPP's willingness to guarantee a victory might be a fantastic wrestling cliché, Jacobs willingness to insult his opponent's wife is the most wrestling thing ever.
According to Marvez, Jacobs won't actually be a contestant in any match, but there "may be some degree of physicality that wouldn't violate his NFL contract."
We hope that's real enough for you, mister.

Fairtrade Addresses Challenges in the Coffee Sector
Market volatility in the coffee trade has created new challenges for Fairtrade coffee producers. The current high market price of US$2 per pound of coffee* ($2.35 as of 7 January 2011) masks a series of crises affecting coffee production around the world.
Impacts of climate change and disease, coffee bushes that are reaching the end of their productive cycle, a credit crisis that has limited access to finance, a weakening dollar, and the challenges of poverty and food security are just some of the difficulties facing coffee farmers.
The volatility of the current market causes extreme pressure in all parts of the coffee chain. It also creates challenging circumstances for Fairtrade certified small producer organizations trying to fulfill coffee contracts with international buyers and secure supply from their members. In the current market, some local prices are actually higher than the global market price given the dynamics of local supply and demand and the fierce competition for high quality coffee.
For all involved in the coffee trade, the shortage of high quality coffee, the need to replenish stocks, and the pressure on brands and retailers to pass higher coffee prices onto consumers threaten the financial health and viability of the coffee industry.
Whether markets are high or low, the Fairtrade system – including Labelling Initiatives, Producer Networks and FLO – works to ensure stability in coffee production and trade. Fairtrade is stepping up to implement short-, medium-, and long-term measures to address the challenging dynamics.
The measures include:
- Dedicating significant staff and resources to conduct an expedited review of Fairtrade coffee prices and related contracting rules and trade standards, the results of which will be announced in spring 2011. Click here to read details of the project.
- Bringing industry and producers together through advisory councils and at industry events to address issues such as: how Fairtrade operates in high market situations, supply and demand, organic production, and meeting the technical and capacity-building needs of producers;
- Convening a roundtable with alternative lenders to ensure that pre-finance requirements allow small producer organizations to provide their members with the best offer possible;
- Collaboration with Producer Networks and Labelling Initiatives to facilitate dialogue for producers or traders that have suffered a default or been forced into a premature fixation of a contract;
- Providing funding for producer training in contract negotiation and risk management and seeking funding for producer finance and technical assistance for quality and productivity improvements;
- Expanding the scope of FLO's Producer Certification Fund, which provides financial assistance to small producer organizations to help cover certification fees;
- Working to reduce compliance costs.
Fairtrade is working with all sectors of the coffee industry, from producers to sellers to ensure that these activities contribute to the betterment of the coffee trade and deliver benefits to producers, traders, retailers and consumers.

The Defense Department has removed 20 areas from its list of locations that qualify for imminent danger pay, effective June 1, potentially affecting tens of thousands of troops.
As of that date, service members deployed to these areas no longer will qualify for the $225 monthly imminent danger stipend. The change would affect thousands serving on land or on ships in those areas.
As of July, 2,820 troops were stationed in Bahrain, one of the areas that no longer qualifies.
This is DoDs first review of imminent danger pay locations since 2007, according to a DoD announcement.
Those locations that no longer will be designated as imminent danger areas are:
■ The four water areas of the Arabian Sea, Gulf of Aden, Gulf of Oman, and the Red Sea.
■ The water area and air space above the Persian Gulf.
■ The six land areas and air space above Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Serbia and Montenegro.
■ The nine land areas of East Timor, Liberia, Haiti, Oman, Rwanda, Tajikistan, United Arab Emirates, Kyrgystan and Uzbekistan.
Defense officials conducted a periodic review and recertification of the imminent danger pay areas in coordination with the joint staff, combatant commands and military services, according to the announcement.
Periodic recertification of IDP ensures that imminent danger designations match the actual conditions of designated countries so that the department can provide fair entitlements and benefits, according to the announcement.
Imminent danger pay will continue for Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Jordan, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen and Egypt within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility.
The pay is prorated at $7.50 per day when a service member spends less than a full month in a qualifying area.
Staff writer Mark Faram contributed to this report.

This is a duplicate post by Ernie's daughter Becky Jamison from her personal blog "Gramma's House".
I want to thank the many friends who've asked about my Dad, Ernie Margheim, as he's entered the hospital in preparation of arterial bypass surgery on his lower right leg. Thank you for your prayers, comments, good wishes, concern and interest. I'll print the comments and any emails and take them to him as I visit him. He was in very good spirits today and is still optimistic for a good recovery. During his afternoon visit, the doctor said the surgery will probably be scheduled for the end of this week. Both a cardiologist and an orthopedic surgeon will check him out first. Dad sure wishes he had a computer available to help pass the time. He said he doesn't have a long enough attention span to watch TV. But time flies when he gets on the computer. The hospital is an hour from my house so I'll be back over to see him Wed evening, then probably daily after that. My son lives in Pueblo and is having tests done at the same hospital tomorrow, so he'll stop in to see his Grandpa Tuesday morning.
Since he's in Pueblo, but lives in Canon City, CO he'll have very few visitors, and I know he'd appreciate hearing from friends. If anyone wants to send him a card, here's his address (updated March 4, 2009):
Ernest Margheim
Parkview Medical Center
3 North, Room 24
400 W. 16th St.
Pueblo, CO 81003
Pueblo, CO 81003
I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks again for caring about Ernie. You've all given him great joy these recent months!

We are in Alta, Northern Norway, ready to explore the enormous white mountain plains on snowmobiles.Speeding on a snowmobile at the enormous white moutain plains in Alta is defenitely a feeling of freedom and adrenalin.
The snowmobile, also called snowscooter and skimobile, is a normal way of getting around in the county of Finnmark.
The trip starts with lunch at Sorrisniva, where you get warm clothes and helmets, and the guide gives a short instruction on how to drive. You drive in a line with the guide up front. You pass through birch forests on on your way to the mountain plaines.
There are different tours to choose from to.You can go on a short trip for two or three hours, or you can go at night, looking for northern lights. You can also choose join a trip for several days, staying at cabins or traditinal Sami tents in the mountains. Groups can have tailor made trips on demand.
Afterwards you relax at the resort and take a drink in the Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel in Alta, where eveything is made from snow and ice. Even the glasses in the bar. There is a sauna and an outdoor bath tub.
Fly into Alta from Oslo or Tromsø. You will be picked up at your hotel and taken to the resort. There are several other ways of getting to Finnmark and around.
There are different hotels in Alta, and the Alta Igloo Hotel is an experience far from the ordinary.
Alta is the largest town in Finnmark, the northernmost county in Norway. Alta has good climatic conditions, with little precipitation, pleasant winters and relatively warm summers. During winter nights, you can often see the northern lights dancing across the skies. The blue season in Alta lasts from November to January, after which the days get gradually longer.

Don't pull the plug on AdvantageWest
I urge all House members from Western North Carolina to take a close look at the negative economic consequences for our region if AdvantageWest funding is stripped away under Senate Bill 127 (See the AC-T of May 13).
Passage of this bill will hurt many local food growers and producers and those like myself trying to develop a new business in WNC.
AdvantageWest has helped local entrepreneurs and played major roles in attracting large businesses here such as Sierra Nevada and New Belgium Breweries. For the last year, I have been working to create new foods from spent brewers yeast, a significant craft brewery waste stream.
The Blue Ridge Food Ventures, started by AdvantageWest, has been essential to this project. It is an innovative resource for entrepreneurs in WNC and provides space, equipment and experienced advice to startups. Large numbers of local people work there on interesting, attractive and viable new food ideas.
Pulling the plug on Advantage West and the Blue Ridge Food Ventures will kill new job opportunities.
Our N.C. House representatives should stop this bill and keep AdvantageWest working for economic development in the mountains.

Suggestions to make Charlotte Highway safer
My suggestion regarding the number of accidents/deaths on Charlotte Highway is first to remove the word highway, lower the speed limit, add lights and have a larger police presence.
There would be a large amount of county income if they stopped all of the dump trucks for speeding.

Quit being selfish and strap on a helmet
So you dont want to wear a helmet while you are on your motorcycle. After all, you are an adult who can take responsibility for yourself.
OK. Fine. You can go without wearing a helmet, but only if you have enough insurance to provide for the rest of your life if you become a quadriplegic or severely brain-damaged.
Also, you will need to have enough insurance so that neither your spouse nor any of your children will need the Social Security benefits if you are killed or disabled. To put it bluntly, you owe it to the rest of the citizens to take reasonable care of your body so you do not become a burden on the taxpayer.
Otherwise, strap the doggone helmet on. Stop being so selfish.
Ted Remington, Marion
Polls don't elect public officials, but
The writer of Polls dont elect government officials is very right in one respect, polls should not count.
But the constitution also did not anticipate the size of political donations from large corporations and rich individuals that basically own the politicians who make the rules.
And it also did not anticipate that a controlling party could gerrymander election districts so that it has a majority of legislators even though the party did not receive the majority of votes.
That is why politicians should follow the polls, because they indicate the wishes of the people.
But of course they do not, because they need the donations from the rich and powerful.

Doubts survey will yield significant results
I received the survey described on Page B1 of the May 17 paper. Using the departure and arrival addresses, it assumed a route.
There are many routes from South Asheville to the Civic Center. The drivers of the chartered bus I ride to the Asheville Symphony Orchestra concerts take many different routes that may or may not involve I-240.
I doubt the statistical significance of the results.

This might be easier for tonight to manipulate the movies around. If you're planning on showing up for the chat, take a quick look.
We did get a lot done tonight. You can check the updated movie list (link is in the 1st post). We have some more work to do, so we'll be meeting again in a few days. I'll announce that here. Feel free to come to the next meeting and give your opinion(s)!
Hi HorrorQueen and Lon- want to make some more picks for your schedules?
Sure, I'll get on that today. Just gonna take the dog out then I'll get started
HorrorQueen17's Website
There is still time to recommend films. If you want to see the current list of nominees, you can check it here.
I think I'll hold a final meeting on Skype on October 15th. Anyone can attend if they want to put their 2 bananas in.

Here's my suggestion. Schedule reruns of the previous movie nights to coincide with prime time for the antipodes. Basically give all the Aussies a chance to see what they missed.
This is a good idea, since many of those films are already on the list. We get new ones, they get new ones. I like!
Let's see (my time, US Eastern):2PM-2AM Northern Hemisphere (main stream type stuff) 2AM-8AM free for all (lots of weird stuff)8AM- 2PM Down Under (repeats of previous Movie Nights)
I'm an ideas guy and I'm damn good at it
Here's how it's going to work:
I'm going to set up a conversation (audio & text only) with Vampy at 5PM US Eastern time. The first movie starts at 6PM. If I have your Skype name, you will automatically get in.
But, if I don't have your name before 5PM, there is a good chance you won't get in at all. There's a problem trying to add new (as in I don't already have your name in my list) people once the convo starts.
I'll be adding some people as 'hosts' so they can try and fix problems during the convo when I'm not there.
Movies will "officially start" every 2 hours. If you come in at an odd time, just ask where everyone is at so you can sync up. We do this for Movie Nights all the time. I won't be around all the time to do my infamous "countdown," so if I'm not there, just go by your clock.
We're working on getting a fun mix of films, so you can pop in whenever you have some free time and enjoy some movie chat.
And thank to El Capitano for his ingenious suggestion.

I finalised my list of films. Hope it's okay that I added a few new ones, I had a last minute shot of inspiration
Really looking forward to this now!
Have another idea completely free of charge. Give the Aussies the podcasts for the reruns so they can sync them up for the full experience if they want
Such as this most awesome of pages on the internet for podcasts for movie watching?
I was thinking of a cooler way but whatever floats your boat
My ears are open for any ideas you have, or how to present the podcast. Really. I lost my pride somewhere around 3rd & Walnut Street back in the 4th grade.
Did I turn you into Ozzy and make you say "Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind"?Job done
Your way works good enough for me
Fair enough. Would be neat if some of the Aussies popped in for a bit.
Bumpy bumpy!
HFest isn't going to go well, is it?

It's going to go great Azzy! That's an HQ promise
I'm really looking forward to it, I'm gonna try and see as many as I possibly can, definitely all the classics and all of the really obscure ones. I'm gonna be pulling a mammoth all nighter

Creationism isn't academic freedom
Introduction of non-evidential material into science does not constitute academic freedom. American youngsters need more science in their lives, not less, and science is about evidence, not about faith or feelings. Confusing faith with science puts the development of a new generation of American scientists at risk.
My high school biology teacher (whom I much later learned believed in creationism) did me an amazing disservice by minimizing the importance of evolution. I was taught that evolution was "just a theory" as opposed to being the major, evolving theory around which all science is based. I entered my Purdue biology program at a disadvantage, many steps behind others who had covered this already in their high school courses. (Thanks to each and every of my Purdue science professors, who made a scientist of me yet.)
The Discovery Institute's Joshua Youngkin (J&C, Nov. 29) conveniently appropriates Purdue's staff handbook, quoting academic responsibilities of professors to students for his article. It is a professor's scientific duty to present all evidential sides to an argument, and checks are in place to support academic integrity and freedom.
So with an atmosphere of academic freedom and a responsibility for truly educating students, what do Purdue scientists believe? I challenge Youngkin to find one professor in the hard sciences who supports a creationist view of "academic freedom."
My father taught me never to bet unless I was sure I could win.
I'll take this bet.

Work started already for the next session
As a member of the State Budget Committee, I am already busy on legislative business. The committee consists of four state senators and four state representatives. We review budget requests from all state agencies, departments and institutions.
Officials from Purdue and other state institutions came to our hearings, which have been scheduled almost daily. Other state departments are also appearing before the committee to explain their budgets and needs. The State Budget Committee will be meeting on a regular basis through mid-December.
While I have been a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, as well as a former vice chair of the committee and former chair of the Higher Education Subcommittee, being part of the State Budget Committee will be rewarding because of the insights gained into the budgetary aspects of virtually every aspect of state government. The committee will offer its budget recommendation in January to the Ways and Means Committee and later to the Senate Appropriations Committee.
I also would like to take a moment to thank the voters for the opportunity to continue representing them in the House of Representatives. I feel fortunate to represent the new areas of my district, but I am sorry to lose other sections of my old district due to redistricting. For those whom I used to represent, please know it was my honor. You are special to me, and I will always consider you to be my friends.

A new museum scheduled to open this summer at the former Alpine Hills Resort near Dover will highlight Tuscarawas County's agricultural heritage.
A new museum scheduled to open this summer at the former Alpine Hills Resort near Dover will highlight Tuscarawas County's agricultural heritage.
"We're losing the family farm and all that goes with it," said Dalton "Duke" Bixler, owner of Breitenbach Wine Cellars and developer of the museum, which he will call the Tool Shed.
He is concerned that many young people today aren't familiar with family farms.
"I think it's almost to the point where all they know about is big
corporate farms. Small family farms are what built this country. They were the backbone of this country — and still are — but we're losing that to the big corporate farms."
The museum will be housed in a 160-foot by 60-foot two-story building he has had erected on a hill behind the former amphitheater at the park. It is located off state Route 39, a short distance from his winery complex at 5934 Old Route 39 NW.
"I've had the idea of a museum in the back of my mind for many years," he said. "I felt the need for a living agricultural museum where people could come and follow the progression of farming in the area."
It will house Bixler's collection of old farm machinery and equipment and likely some of the antiques his wife, Cynthia, has collected in the past 50 years. That collection includes the original Bakersville post office boxes and the original storefront from the Dover Post Office.
He is asking area residents who have photos or antique farm implements to consider donating them or loaning them to his museum.
The walls of the second floor will be covered with old photographs showcasing Tuscarawas County agriculture. The photos will serve a dual purpose. They will be printed on sound suppression material manufactured by Lauren Manufacturing of New Philadelphia and will improve acoustics in the building.
Because he owns Breitenbach, there will be a strong emphasis on wine-making. "It will be a working example of a winery from beginning to end," he said.
Tuscarawas County has a strong wine-making heritage. He said the first winery was opened in Ragersville, and it is still in existence. The Wainwright area was also known for its grape growing and wine making.
"I'm real excited about this," he said. "It will not only be for local people, but tourists will find it interesting."
Bixler has owned the property since 2010.
Alpine Hills, developed by entrepreneur Olen Miller of Sugarcreek, opened in 1993. It played host to country music entertainers as well as such rock and roll artists as the Beach Boys and Eddie Money during the 1990s, but closed after Miller encountered financial problems.
Since purchasing the land, Bixler has planted about 10,000 grapevines there and plans on planting more varieties this spring. He also has planted blackberries, blueberries and raspberries, which are used in his products.
Page 2 of 2 - The building will have other uses besides serving as a museum. Bixler said there are several Amish furniture makers that would like to use it to showcase their products to visiting buyers. The Warther knife show will be held there beginning in 2014, and the property will be used for the winery's annual Dandelion Festival, as it has since Bixler purchased it.
He is looking forward to the opening of the museum, which has been under construction for the past year and a half.
"Probably not a lot of people begin a project like this when they're over 70 years old," Bixler said, but he quickly added, "I'm looking forward to the next 30 years."

While much of the current debate around the existence of psi exists in the field of psychology and cultural studies, the history of psychical research is actually based as much, if not more, in the physical sciences and clinical medicine. In a recent piece for Reality Sandwich researcher Paul Devereux discusses the biophysical experiments of Dr. Michael Persinger and Blake Dotta at Laurentian University, Ontario, and how the evidence from experiments like these is bringing our attention back to the physical characteristics of the phenomena:
… Read the rest
"Parapsychology generally provides its evidence in the form of statistics, and so is all too readily subject to the charge of "lies, damned lies and statistics" – how reliable is monitoring lots of subjective responses to laboratory tests, and why isn't psi robustly repeatable in experimental conditions? When it comes to actual, real-life psi experiences – telepathic or precognitive events, apparitions and so forth – critics tend to level accusations of misperception or dishonesty against the claimants, and point out that in any case such reports are merely anecdotal, and not acceptable as scientific evidence.

DTV Table of Allotments, 47 C.F.R. Section 73.622(i), Seaford, DE
Download OptionsReleased: February 13, 2013
Federal Communications Commission
Before the
Federal Communications Commission
Washington, D.C. 20554In the Matter of
Amendment of Section 73.622(i),
MB Docket No. 09-230
Post Transition Table of DTV Allotments,
Television Broadcast Stations
(Seaford, Delaware)
Adopted: February 12, 2013
Released: February 13, 2013By the Chief, Video Division, Media Bureau:
The Media Bureau, Video Division has before it a petition filed by Broadcast Maximization
Committee (BMC) seeking reconsideration of the Report and Order to amend the Post-Transition Table of
DTV Allotments1 to allot channel 5 to Seaford, Delaware.2 For the reasons set forth below, we deny
BMC's petition for reconsideration.
The Media Bureau, Video Division issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on December
18, 2009,3 proposing to allot channel 5 to Seaford as Delaware's first very high frequency (VHF)
commercial television channel, pursuant to Section 331(a) of the Communications Act of 1934 (the Act),
as amended.4 That section provides, in pertinent part, that it shall be Commission policy "to allocate
channels for [VHF] commercial television broadcasting in a manner which ensures that not less than one
such channel shall be allocated to each State, if technically feasible." The only VHF channel allotted to
Delaware at that time was reserved for noncommercial educational use.5
The Division adopted this proposal in 2010, and in response to a request from Senator Ted
Kauffman that the new Delaware VHF allotment be constructed in a manner to reach the greatest number
of Delawareans, the Division explained that the allotment of a new channel in Southern Delaware would
result in a more equitable distribution of channels.6 The Report and Order also rejected BMC's argument
that the Commission should avoid proposing new channel allotments on channels 5 and 6 given the
pendency of the proposal in the Diversity Proceeding to reallocate those channels to the FM radio service,
because that proceeding remains pending and the Commission did not impose a freeze on the use of those

DA 13-198channels in connection with the Diversity Proceeding.7 The Report and Order further explained that
should channels 5 and 6 be reallocated to the FM radio service, and the Commission were to require
television licensees to vacate channels 5 and 6, the Bureau will consider a channel substitution at Seaford
at that time. In a footnote to that explanation, the Bureau also stated that BMC's reply comments'
counterproposal to allot either channel 2 or 3 to Seaford is not entitled to consideration because BMC did
not advance it until the reply comment stage.8
In its petition for reconsideration, BMC criticizes the Bureau's decision in the Notice,
maintaining that the Bureau has taken "the unusual step of proposing the allotment of channel 5 at
Seaford, despite the fact that no party had expressed an interest in this proposal."9 BMC states that "[t]his
procedure is unprecedented and contrary to the manner in which all other allotments are proposed
pursuant to Section 307(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended."10 BMC also argues that the
Bureau "incorrectly believed that neither channel 2 or 3 could be considered because they were
counterproposals and could not be offered at the reply stage,"11 and that the Bureau erred when it refused
to consider channels 2 or 3 as alternatives to channel 5. BMC states that its proposal to allot either
channels 2 or 3 to Seaford, rather than channel 5, during the reply stage of the proceeding did not serve as
a counterproposal, because "[a] counterproposal is a proposal which is mutually exclusive or conflicts
with the channel proposed in the proceeding,"12 and that "[n]either channel 2 or 3 conflicted with Channel
5 at Seaford and therefore BMC was not required to propose either of these channels at the comment
PMCM TV, LLC (PMCM) submitted a Qualified Opposition to Petition for
Reconsideration, stating that it has filed notifications with the Commission requesting, pursuant to section
331(a) of the Act, reallocation of channels 2 and 3 in Nevada and Wyoming to channel 2 in Wilmington,
Delaware and channel 3 in Middletown Township, New Jersey, and that BMC's counterproposal
therefore cannot be considered prior to Commission action on those notifications.14 Nave Broadcasting,
LLC (Nave) filed responsive comments to clarify that it supports the allotment, and would file an
application for either channel 3 or 5, as available.15 BMC submitted a reply asserting that regardless of

submitted outside the pleading cycle established in the Commission's Rules, see 47 C.F.R. § 1.106, the comments

we will exercise our discretion and consider Nave's August 20, 2010 responsive comments.
Federal Communications Commission
DA 13-198the merits of PMCM's claims to channels 2 and 3 in Delaware and New Jersey, the Commission's
selection of channel 5 in Seaford, Delaware was ill-advised.16
We deny BMC's request for reconsideration of the Report and Order. We are not
persuaded to reconsider simply because the proposed allotment in the Notice was not in response to the
request of any one party, and therefore "unusual," and that such a "procedure" is unprecedented.17 First,
we emphasize that the decisions that we made in the Notice and the Report and Order were intended to
serve the public interest and comply with section 331's VHF policy.18 Section 331 poses a somewhat
unique circumstance compared to other allocations, by imposing a policy of allocating at least one VHF
frequency to each state, if technically feasible. Second, to the extent that a proposed allocation of this sort
is unusual, BMC does not identify any impropriety or legal barrier to the adoption of a new approach.
Third, a petition for reconsideration of a final order is not the appropriate vehicle to raise a challenge to,
or otherwise reconsider, the legality of the issuance of an underlying notice of proposed rulemaking.
In light of the D.C. Circuit's recent decision in PMCM TV, we dismiss as moot BMC's
argument that its request to allocate channel 2 or 3 at Seaford, rather than channel 5, did not qualify as a
counterproposal. The Court's order in PMCM TV has directed the Commission to grant PMCM a license
for channel 2 in Wilmington, Delaware, and a license for channel 3 in Middleton Township, New Jersey.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that the Petition for Reconsideration filed by Broadcast
Maximization Committee IS DENIED.

Louisville's Luke Hancock ties up Ron Baker for a late jump ball. / Jaime Green/MCT
ATLANTA -- A floundering first half made way for a sizzling second, and a fitting finish beckoned when Wichita State's Ron Baker rebounded a free-throw miss by Louisville's Luke Hancock.
The Shockers trailed, 71-68, with 8.8 seconds left in the national semifinals at the Georgia Dome and would have a chance to tie. But then Hancock tried to grab the ball from Baker, Baker stumbled a bit, the ball popped out ... and a whistle that seemed awfully fast essentially ended the game.
A jump ball was called, giving possession back to Louisville, and Russ Smith sealed the 72-68 victory with a free throw. As great as that second half was, it ended with a common refrain this season: gripes about officiating.
"I was forced to dribble the ball because I lost my balance," Baker said of the play. "I thought the ball was loose before the whistle was blown. I tapped it to (teammate) Malcolm (Armstead). They already called jump ball, so ..."
So that was the ballgame. And the possession arrow was in Louisville's favor because of a double foul called earlier in the half.
The Shockers didn't complain much about that costly sequence afterward, but coach Gregg Marshall was asked how long an official should wait before calling a jump ball.
"Well, as soon as both players have control of it to prevent a wrestling match, I guess," Marshall said. "So if both players have their hands on it, it should be a held ball."
WALK-ON WILDNESS: A hidden key to Louisville's comeback was the brief shooting flurry from walk-on guard Tim Henderson -- forced into 10 minutes of action with normal No. 3 guard Kevin
Ware out with the gruesome leg injury that became one of the stories of the tournament.
Down 47-35 in the second half, Louisville got consecutive corner threes from Henderson after Wichita State one-and-one misses to get it quickly to 47-41. These were the biggest shots of Henderson's career.
"We're really happy for Tim hitting those shots," Hancock said. "We kind of knew that was going to be our time. ... We were going to make our run now or it wasn't going to happen."
NO ANSWERS: Armstead, Wichita State's senior point guard, was having a terrific tournament, averaging a team-best 15.5 points entering the Final Four. He had a rough Saturday, at least as a shooter, finishing 1-for-10 overall and 0-for-5 from three-point land.
"Just missing shots," he said. "A lot of my shots were uncontested."
Armstead did handle the Louisville pressure well for most of the night and finished with seven points and three assists. At one point he got through the pressure with a spin, then a dribble off the knee of Louisville's Peyton Siva.
NOTEBOOK: This will be Louisville's third title game and an attempt to go 3-0. The Cardinals beat UCLA, 59-54, in 1980 and beat Duke, 72-69, in 1986. ... Louisville's 34 victories is a school record; the record of 33 was shared by the '80 and '05 teams. ... Wichita State finishes 23-2 when leading at the half.

Former Belmont guard Ian Clark has earned a spot on the Utah Jazz's roster after signing as a free agent with the team in July.
- Filed Under
Former Belmont standout Ian Clark made the final 15 for the Utah Jazz and is expected to be on the opening roster Wednesday when Oklahoma City visits Salt Lake City's Energy Solutions Center.
Clark, a 6-foot-3, guard, signed as a free agent with the Jazz in July.
He played in seven of Utah's eight preseason games and averaged 4.5 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.6 steals while playing 12.4 minutes per game.
Clark, a Memphis native, averaged 18.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 steals as a senior at Belmont last season while leading the Bruins to a 26-7 record.
He shared Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year honors with Murray State's Isaiah Canaan.
During Clark's four years, Belmont advanced to three consecutive NCAA Tournaments.
