A Brief Report on the Achievements of Power of Love's Micro Loans Program in Lusaka, Zambia
As a result of generous donations from people such as yourself, some of the achievements of the micro loans program in the last 12 months are given below:
To sum, as a result of these loans that provide regular earnings to the family, nutrition and diet of the women and their families has improved, due to better health most of the children are back in school, the loan recipients have become role models in their community for both men and other women.
Challenges Faced by the Micro Finance Program
1. Some of the women are not able to make profits from their businesses due to higher prices of food, and for the products they purchase for sale. This has led to delays in their making loan repayments.
2. The women need refresher training on running a business on a continuing basis.
3. In additions for funds for loan capital we are constantly in need of funds for business training, field visits by the loan officer, salary and expenses for the loan officer, and weekly meetings that are an essential element to ensure the success of the micro loans program.
In summary, micro loans program has increased the survival rates of the children in the Matero compound in Lusaka, Zambia through better nutrition, helped children stay in school, and significantly improved the quality of life of their families. This program together with children's care program is comprehensive as it takes care of physical (food, medicines, schooling), social (environment, culture, religious issues), and psychological (counselling, peer groups) needs of the women and children. In addition, education on adherence and monitoring has reduced the number of children who might have developed resistance to drugs at an early age, leading to an increase in their life span.
The Power of Love program has matured and our focus through 2010 continues to be provision of continuous quality care to the children and micro loans to their caregivers so that they can take care of the whole family. In the next few years we hope to extend the program to the entire community of Matero in Lusaka, Zambia.

All Rise...
When Judge Bryan Pope gets a soggy bottom, he likes to treat it with baby powder and a swig of Pepto.
The Charge
A moonshine-swillin' romp in the swamp!
Opening Statement
Two parts Dukes of Hazzard to one part Lil' Abner (with a generous dash of Hee Haw), Soggy Bottom U.S.A. is a cornpone, Louisiana-Saturday-night good time. If it never quite rises to the level of sophistication, who gives a frog's freckled butt? Not everything can be Noel Coward, but that's no reason to dismiss this little gem.
Facts of the Case
It's time for Soggy Bottom's annual raccoon hunt, and Sheriff Isum Gorch (Oscar winner Ben Johnson) has his eyes on the prize. But his dog may face some stiff competition when celebrity songstress and local legend Miss Dusty Wheeler (Ann Wedgeworth) flies into town with her prized pooch. But the coon hunt is the least of Isum's worries. You see, he may have his eyes on the prize, but Miss Dusty has her eyes on something else, much to the chagrin of Isum's lady friend, the spitfire hotel and cafe proprietress Molly (Lois Nettleton).
To complicate matters, the feds have also rolled in to crack down on all the moonshining (apparently a way of life in this neck of the woods), and the Sheriff's brother, Cottonmouth (Dub Taylor), is at the top of their hit list.
The Evidence
You'll know everything you need to know about this swamp-set comedy within the first eighteen minutes. Well, almost. By that point, you'll have seen a rusty American Hudson take out a whole row of storefronts, an airboat manned by Don Johnson total a pier, a pickup crash, and a mangy mutt break some major wind (and, just in case you, like my four-year-old son, didn't think once was enough, he'll do it twice more before the credits roll). Yes, this is unabashedly low-brow entertainment at its, um, lowest, but with a name like Soggy Bottom U.S.A, should you really expect otherwise?
Still, would I be hanged if I were to say that it works almost in spite of itself? Director Theodore J. Flicker, a veteran television director, has packed this cinematic kettle with the kind of uniquely Southern-fried delights that would send Jeff Foxworthy over the moon. You have coon hunts, gators snoozing in the middle of the town square (the townsfolk politely step around him so as not to disrupt his nap), and drunken brawls at town socials.
And yet…That's not what makes Soggy Bottom such a comfortable, irresistibly charming place to visit. No, credit for that goes to its cast of characters and a genuine sense of place (but not period, as it's never clear exactly when the story is set). With their homespun values and strong ties to community and family, these people feel lived in. You have men who love their women, their white lightning and their hound dogs, and not necessarily in that order. You have women whose unfettered devotion for those men runs deeper than the hollow. Soggy Bottom is populated by the kind of folk it just might do to run the river with, and a trip there is like a visit with old friends.
It's nice to see such warm characters used in the service of some pretty darn good—if lightweight and occasionally hokey—storytelling. Flicker deftly moves between four or five story threads (depending on how you count) before tying them neatly together for the silliest, most out-of-control chase scene this side of What's Up, Doc?. The most engaging story involves the love triangle between the sheriff, Molly, and Miss Dusty. Isum and Molly make a sweet pair, and it helps that Flicker is working with a cast of old pros and familiar faces. Johnson delivers another one of his patented good-ol'-boy performances, and he gives the film a quiet, much-needed center of gravity. Nettleton is a fine match for Johnson, playing a brassy broad with a heart of gold and a particular way with a large wooden spoon. The nicest surprise may be Wedgeworth, a native Texan who, with her swagger, drawl, and come-hither stare, has always specialized in a special brand of southern sensuality. What a pleasure to find a movie willing to lavish so much attention on three older, underrated actors.
Johnson, Nettleton, and Wedgeworth are the standouts, but veteran character actors Dub Taylor and Lane Smith (as devilishly greasy "Smilin' Jack") make a lasting impression in supporting roles. Rounding out the cast of loveable characters are Jacob Gorch (Don Johnson, back before he discovered hair gel and pastel shirts) and his main squeeze, the guitar-pickin' Sharlene (P.J. Soles, a real sweetheart here, but almost unrecognizable without her customary breast shots). Johnson (Don, not Ben) and Soles are featured on the DVD packaging, but their roles are secondary.
This is clearly a low-budget production, but one that's smart enough to take full advantage of its lush, evocative bayou locations (it was filmed in and around Marshall, Texas). As the camera weaves in between the lazy cypress trees, you can practically smell the honeysuckle and feel the warm, moist air on your skin. So it's a crying shame to see such a diamond in the rough get crapped upon in its DVD incarnation. Cropped to full screen, cinematographer George Bouillet's lovely compositions become cramped and suffocated. On top of that, the colors lack the richness and depth one expects, particularly during sunlit exterior shots, when the picture looks painfully washed out and faded. The entire film is marred by flecks, speckles and scratches. This is one of the saddest, shoddiest transfers I've come across in some time. The stereo soundtrack isn't as strong as one would like, and could have used some cleanup itself, but it is head and shoulders above the picture in terms of quality. The package includes no subtitles or extras.
Closing Statement
True to its tag line, Soggy Bottom U.S.A. is a romp in the swamp for those so inclined. But with a hideous transfer, underwhelming audio, and zero extras, I'm afraid it's hardly worth even its bargain-basement price of $10. Surely such a well-meaning, harmless film deserves better.
The Verdict
Koch Vision is found guilty of abuse and ought to be taken to the woodshed with a switch, but the Soggy Bottom gang is free to head back to the bayou.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Soggy Bottom U.S.A. a fair trial? yes / no

1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to supports for a pallet deck and more particularly to a support for a pallet deck having prongs that are pressed into and through the decking to fasten the support to the deck members, thus eliminating the need for conventional fasteners, such as nails, staples, etc.
In my prior US. Pat. No. 3,641,948 entitled Press-on Support for a Pallet granted Feb. 15 1972, I disclosed various modifications of a solid wall press-on type pallet support having a plurality of longitudinal reenforcing ribs integrally formed therein, each of the ribs terminating at one or both ends in a prong or dual prongs, and a plurality of horizontal tabs spaced between the ribs for contacting and supporting the pallet deck after fastening of the support thereto.
Such a solid wall metal support performs very satisfactory. However, production of such supports requires the use of expensive forming and molding dies. I have found that such die costs can be drastically reduced by the use of amesh or open frame metal wall construction and it is to that end that the present invention is directed.
2. Description of the Prior Art Pallets are widely utilized in connection with the handling, storage and distribution of merchandise. Typically, wooden pallets comprise rectangular single or double deck platforms, constructed of plywood sheet or other material, or spaced individual lumber boards fastened to a plurality of spaced wooden support runners or blocks arranged with or without stringer boards. The wood supports are positioned with respect to each other so as to provide proper load support distribution and also to permit the insertion of the forks of a forklift truck or the forks of a handlift truck under the top deck, so that the pallet and any load thereon can be lifted, moved, and stacked in storage.
Four-way entry pallets are utilized widely in a variety of industries since this type pallet permits insertion of lifting forks beneath the top deck on any of the four perimeters of the pallet. Typically, a four-way entry single deck wooden pallet is constructed by nailing, stapling or gluing nine individual wooden blocks to the bottom surface of solid sheet material, at equally spaced distances in columns and rows of three supports each. Alternatively, three elongated wooden support runners, each equally spaced and extending the entire length or depth of the pallet deck, are utilized as support members in the assembly of a two-way entry pallet.
The construction of a four-way entry pallet using support blocks and individual lumber boards in lieu of solid material for the top deck, generally requires the use of stringer deck boards to maintain the individual lumber boards in spaced relation. The stringer deck boards are attached to both the support blocks and the deckboards. In a double deck construction including a top deck of solid material and a bottom deck consisting of three individual lumber boards spaced apart to provide for receipt of a handlift pallet truck, stringer deck boards are not required.
As noted above, pallets may be of the single deck or double deck design in which a parallel, full or partial, bottom deck is furnished for additional rigidity and horizontal support. In the double deck construction, the wooden support members are generally nailed to both the top and bottom deck components.
Pallets that have been constructed with wooden supports fastened to-the decks with nails or staples tend to loosen with continued usage and the gradual drying out of the lumber. This condition causes the nails or staples to pull out and protrude from the top surface or deck of the pallet. This problem is a major one and is due to the fact that it is generally not possible to obtain any clinch of the nail or staple used to fasten the decks to i the solid wood support block or runner.
In many instances the protruding nail head or staple damages the merchandise stored on the pallet by tearing or ripping a storage bag, carton, or other type package. .To overcome this problem pallet decks are occasionally bolted to the supports. This construction technique is expensive as it requires that holes first be drilled in the decks and through the wooden supports prior to insertion of the bolt.
Additionally, the use of wood supports increases the overall weight of the pallet which results in higher transportation costs when the pallet is shipped empty or in use. Also, such wood supports are bulky and costly to store and ship prior to construction of the pallet.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The pallet support of this invention comprises an upright metal support member of open frame construction, having a multiple number of vertical extremities of which are defined by horizontally extending wirelike members. Spacers, integral with the wire-like members, extend therebetween and terminate at one or both ends in a tapered prong.
The prongs are adapted to penetrate and be bent back into the underside of the deck member when the deck is completely pressed-onto the support, thus avoiding the problems of protruding nails and loosening of the pallet elements.
The walls .of the support may be tapered so as to facilitate nesting of a plurality of like supports in a compact form prior to use in the construction of pallets. Pallets constructed with the support members of this invention may be either single or double deck pallets and may be of either the two-way or four-way entry type.
Accordingly, one object of this invention is to provide a pallet support having integral fastening means consisting of a plurality of prongs suitable for simple and fast attachment to various types of pallet deck materials such as lumber, plywood, fiberboard, or the like, as for example, by a press-on or drive-on type operation which would result in faster pallet assembly than is now possible and would reduce overall pallet construction cost.
Another object of this invention is to provide a lightweight pallet support, without loss of deck support area, subject to variable positioning for obtaining the maximum amount of support under any given load condition.
Still another object of this invention is to provide a nesting pallet support which requires a minimum amount of cube space for storage and shipment prior to use in pallet construction.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a pallet support which incorporates use of wire-like vertical members having prong ends, with or without horizontal wire-like pieces connected thereto, partially embedded in a moldable compound to provide additional flat surface support area for the deck components.
Other advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description and claims, and the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a typical double deck pallet, having a solid top deck and three bottom deck boards, constructed with the support illustrated in FIG. 2;

The support illustrated in FIG. 2 comprises a selfsupporting substantially upright angle shaped unit of open framework construction, having a plurality of spaced-apart vertical wire rods 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30, welded or otherwise secured to a multiple number of horizontal spaced-apart wire rods 34, 36 and 38, to form an integral pallet support unit.
The spaced-apart vertical rods 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30, are tapered at the two ends to form pointed prongs 32, for penetrating the pallet deck members 44, 46, 48 and 50, and are held apart by horizontal rods 34, 36 and 38, which extend there-between.
Generally, the vertical and horizontal wire rod structure is rendered integral by welding, the horizontal rods being welded to the vertical rods at 40 the point of contact. The spaced-apart top horizontal rod 34 and bottom horizontal rod 38, support the pallet deck members. In the FIG. 2 embodiment, an intermediate horizontal rod 36 is provided, to furnish additional strength and rigidity for the support. After press-on fastening of the supports to the deck members, the top of the upper horizontal rod 34 of the support, contacts the underside of the top deck 44, and the bottom of the lower horizontal rod 38, contacts the upperside of the bottom deck boards 46, 48 and 50.
FIG. 1 illustrates the use of a plurality of supports, generally nine or ten, of the angle design, used in the construction of a four-way entry, double deck pallet, having a solid sheet top deck and three spaced-apart bottom deck boards. In this assembly a total of ten supports are used, three units in each of the two exterior rows and four in the center support row. In the assembly of the pallet, the supports 20 are placed and positioned between the top and bottom deck boards, generally assembled on a conveyor line. This assembly of deck board and support components, is then moved, on the conveyor, into a hydraulic or other type press having steel backing plates. The press is then activated and the support rod extremities are pressed into and through the deck members and the prongs 32 clinched, in a matter of seconds, thus completing the construction of the pallet.
The tapered and pointed prongs 32 penetrate and are pressed through the deck members 44, 46, 48 and 50, and because of the taper, are bent and deformed back into the surface of such members upon contact with the press metal backing plates 52 and 52b as shown in FIG. 3. The pallet deck members 44, 46, 48 and 50, are pressed on to the support prongs until one surface of the deck members is substantially flush with the upper and lower horizontal support rods 34 and 38.
FIG. 4 illustrates another embodiment of the support of the invention covering a conical shaped nesting support, used for the assembly of a four-way entry pallet having a multiple number of top deck boards, three stringer deck boards, and three bottom deck boards. This pallet 54 is formed from individual lumber boards 56, 58, 60, 62 and 64 which may be nailed, with nails clinched, to stringer boards 66, 68 and 70, to form a rigid top deck. This integral top deck or the individual top deck and stringer boards if not nailed together, along with the bottom deck boards 74, 76 and 78, are pressed on to the prongs 72 of the support simultaneously by use of press equipment as described for assembly of the pallet shown in FIG. 1. In the FIG. 4 pallet, nine of the supports 72 are arranged in three equally spaced rows with three supports per row.
As can be seen in FIG. 4, the open framework wall of the conical shaped support 72 is slightly tapered vertically and inwardly as to permit nesting of a plurality of identical supports, to reduce storage and shipping space and facilitate handling of the supports prior to use. This nesting arrangement is illustrated in FIG. 5.
FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate additional embodiments of the invention. FIG. 6 is a triangular shaped support and FIG. 7 shows a diamond shaped unit. Both of these designs, which are generally referred to as being of the closed type, can be furnished in a tapered configuration for nesting as well as the straight vertical wall design as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The material for these units as well as most of the other embodiments of the invention, would be cut from a continuous long strip and then formed or bent into the desired shape, angle, triangular, diamond, etc., with or without the corresponding ends of the horizontal rods welded or otherwise fastened together. If additional vertical support over and above that furnished by the support itself, is required, short blocks of wood or other material may be positioned within the enclosed support, prior to pressing such on the deck boards. After press-on assembly of the pallet, such supplementary support blocks are permanently secured inside the walls of the support, locked in by the top and bottom deck boards. Both the FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 supports can be used-in the same type of pallet assembly as the angle shaped embodiment shown in FIG. 1, and the conical embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4.
FIG. 8 is an open framework full runner type pallet support, another embodiment of the invention. In this illustration, three of such runner supports'are used with six top deck boards and three bottom deck boards, to assemble a two-way entry, double deck pallet. On each runner support, three prongs extend through the two top and the two bottom, end deck boards, and also through the top and bottom center deck boards. Whereas, only two prongs extend through each of the four intermediate top deck boards. The lower extremities of the vertical rods 22c are welded to the bottom horizontal rod 38c which is bent and formed to partially encompass the bottom deck boards 116 and 118 the bottom of which is flush with the bottom of the lower horizontal rod member 380. The exterior runner supports are set-in from the ends of the top and bottom deck boards to eliminate and reduce splitting of the boards when such are pressed on the supports.
FIG. 9 is a runner type support having a longitudinal zig-zag shape, for use in constructing two-way entry double deck pallets. The zig-zag design provides more cross support of the deck members, running the width of the pallet, than would be provided using the straight runner type support illustrated in FIG. 10. A zig-zag runner support having a width of approximately 1% inches, would provide deck cross support equivalent to a conventional 2 X 4 wood lumber runner support. Individual short zig-zag supports could also be used, in the same manner as the angle, triangular and diamond shaped units, for the assembly of a four-way entry pallet. In such construction, nine or ten support units would generally be used. The zig-zag design has another advantage, which is the off-setting of the prongs which reduces the possibility of board splits, particularly on individual lumber deck boards, during the press-on operation, that occasionally occur using the straight on-line prong arrangement such as that shown in the FIG. 8 embodiment.
FIGS. 10 and 11 represent additional embodiments of the invention and involve the use of vertical rods or vertical and horizontal rod members assembled to form a skeleton support which is embedded in a moldable plastic or other suitable compound. The purpose of such compound is to secure the rods in position, to provide the spaced-apart vertical fork clearance space required for forklift and hand truck handling, and also to provide additional flat support bearing surface for the deck members than that generally provided by use of only the top and bottom horizontal rods, as used in the other embodiments.
FIG. 10 shows a conical shaped molded support 122 having a plurality of vertical steel rods 22c, tapered at the ends to form prongs 32, which are embedded in a moldable compound 124. A circular shaped horizontally disposed rod 36f is secured to the vertical rods 22c at their points of intersection to add additional support to the vertical steel rods 22c.
FIG. 11 illustrates a skeleton type wire rod framework embedded in a plastic or other moldable compound 128 to form a rigid longitudinal shaped runner support 126. Although only one horizontal rod 36f is shown in this embodiment, the number of individual horizontal rods, as well as the number of individual vertical rods 22f, may vary, in accordance with (l) the overall thickness, height, grade of steel, and size and shape of the support, (2) type, size and quantity of the deck boards and any stringer boards to be used and (3) type, grade and capacity of the pallet to be assembled.
It is understood that the length of the prongs may vary according to the thickness of the deck components used including any stringer boards, and whether or not it is desired that prongs protrude through both deck boards and any stringer boards used. In stringer board construction of four-way entry pallets, where individual lumber boards are used for spaced-apart decking, the deck boards may be nailed and clinched to the stringer boards to form a top deck, by use of conventional nailing methods. Such top deck assembly would then be pressed on to one of the applicable supports of this invention together with any required bottom deck components.
It is contemplated that powered press equipment will normally be used to attach pallet decking simultaneously to nine supports at one time, thus providing fast and economical complete assembly of the pallet. However, by use of special hammers or other special manually operated mechanical equipment, attached of the supports can be accomplished on many types if decking material such as thin plywood, polyveneer, fiberboard and hardboard.
Modifications are possible within the scope of this invention.

ATLANTA - Ryne Sandberg adjusted his hat. He glanced at a scribbled lineup card that displayed a pitching nightmare late Thursday night in the simplest of forms. "That was a big lift," he said of Mauricio Robles, an anonymous waiver claim from Seattle last winter and the 27th pitcher used by the 2013 Phillies.
Robles walked five more hitters than he struck out in 34 games at triple-A Lehigh Valley. He should not be here, nor should the Phillies have needed him to throw 66 pitches in the season's 159th game to avoid a bullpen calamity. For weeks, Sandberg has preached pitching depth as this franchise's top priority.

The St. Johns River and area lakes
The full moon Monday sparked a minor panfish spawn, but this should be the last of it until next spring. That doesn't mean the bluegill and shellcracker fishing is bad. It's not. But the fish get smaller and skinnier as the summer rolls on, and it gets hotter sitting around fishing for them. There is one fishing adage that you can count on in terms of locating panfish during the summer months: The vast majority are always caught on the shady side of the creek.
Strong winds and $4 gasoline have kept a lot of anglers home this week. But the shellcracker, bluegills and redbellies continue to bite and spawn.
The catfish bite is excellent. This is probably as good a month as there is to hook up a channel cat in the 15-pound range.
Some fishermen were releasing the big cats this week, trying for pan-sized specimens. They say the big cats don't taste good. But you couldn't prove that by me.
Jim Sutton's weekly fishing report appears each Thursday:
Freshwater fishing is excellent this week. It's spring. Shellcracker are bedding all over the St. Johns. Catfish are just about everywhere you can find water over 10 feet deep. Some whopper speckled perch came unexpectedly out of both Trout and Six-Mile Creeks.
These fish were consistently around 2 pounds and were probably caught under the bridges on both those pieces of water. The Palatka Bridge would be another place to look. The fish were down just about as deep as you could fish. And oddly, some were full of roe.
This could well be the best weekend of fishing of the year on the St. Johns. Shellcracker and bluegills should be bedding in front of a full moon Monday night. Bass will be doing the same thing and should be easy to spot and seriously hungry coming off the spawn. The fish not spawning are being tricked by frog baits and jerk baits fished weedless in the grasses. If you spot bass beds, try tossing a topwater plug nearby. You may be surprised.
Largemouth bass continue to bed all up and down the river and on both the east and west banks of Lake George. The activity should continue to pick up through the full moon the middle of the month.
Some jumbo stripers are being caught under the Rodman Dam. Anglers are throwing bucktail jigs with Bass Assassin jerk baits attached.
Probably the biggest news from the freshwater side never happened.
Everyone was ready for the big spawn of speckled perch around the full moon Saturday. The fish being caught just off the shallow bedding prior to that water were full of roe and the water temperatures rose quickly under sunny skies.
Everything was ready for the big event -- except the specks. There may not be a big spawn this year, which could become evident in a bad nest year.
PALATKA -- This rural town played catch-up for decades as coastal towns grew and agriculture fought its way through freezes and droughts.
But for the past week, Palatka was the center of the professional bass fishing universe.
Hundreds of thousands watched live Sunday as ESPN broadcast from the town's historic riverfront. The pro anglers were wowed by the venue, the people, their hospitality and the giant, finicky fish.
PALATKA -- Conventional wisdom said that it might take 100 pounds of largemouth bass to win the Bassmaster Elite Series this week on the St. Johns River. Alton Jones must have heard.
PALATKA -- Texas angler Alton Jones added some insult to the injury he inflicted on the field of 98 pro anglers during the second day of the Bassmaster Elite Series tournament on the St. Johns River.
He finished Friday's fishing with the heaviest stringer of bass for the second day. He led Thursday with 26 pounds, 9 ounces. He added another 22.13 pounds Friday to lead the field with 49.6 pounds.

6 December 2012
Local economic developers say they're worried that Michigan isn't spending enough on incentives to compete in the increasingly expensive fight among the states for jobs and business investment.
Gov. Rick Snyder's administration has ended the state's practice of handing out expensive business tax credits, which cost the state nearly $1 billion a year, in favor of a $100 million deal-closing fund that gives up-front cash and loans to companies that add jobs.
Several local economic developers said they're afraid the money could run out long before the state's fiscal year ends on Sept. 30.
"I'm not sure $100 million for a state of our size is competitive in the market and with the rest of the country," said Birgit Klohs, president of The Right Place in Grand Rapids.
Klohs praised the Snyder administration for improving the business climate by cutting taxes, restructuring the state budget, and providing services to small businesses and entrepreneurs.
But she said Michigan's economic development incentives could come up short against states that are spending more, and doing such things as offering free land, buildings and job training to lure business investment.
Is Michigan too light on tax lures?
"Is ($100 million) going to be enough?" she said. "Now that we have been into this for a year-and-a-half, we should ask how well the incentives are working and what we can do to improve them."
Michigan has spent $16.4 million in grants and loans from the Michigan Business Development and Michigan Community Revitalization programs since the start of the current fiscal year on Oct. 1. Those programs replaced the state's business tax credits.
But local economic developers say spending could rapidly increase as the economy improves and businesses step up expansion over the next year.
Ron Kitchens, president of Southwest Michigan First, a regional economic development agency in Kalamazoo, said the demise of the popular Michigan Economic Growth Authority tax credit program hasn't hurt his local economic development efforts — yet.
"We haven't lost a project in the last year because the incentives haven't been robust enough," Kitchens said.
But Kitchens said there is a perception among site selection consultants that Michigan isn't competing as much for jobs and business investment as it has in the past.
"The perception is that we disarmed. I don't think we have," he said. "The challenge is explaining to the companies and the site selection consultants what the changes have been and what they really mean."
Ron Pollina, chairman of Pollina Corporate Real Estate in Chicago, is one of those consultants. He said Michigan comes up short in some incentives, such as tax abatements and job training.
He also said that Michigan doesn't act fast enough on incentive requests, noting that the Michigan Strategic Fund board that approves incentive applications meets just once a month.
But Kitchens said the Strategic Fund and the Michigan Economic Development Corp., which manages the incentive programs, are pushing applications through the system much faster than in the past.
"We couldn't be happier on the speed" of the MEDC's response to incentive requests, he said.
JoAnn Crary, president of Saginaw Future, a regional economic development agency, said Michigan now has more customized incentives, including those in the 21st Century Jobs Fund, that are effective in meeting the needs of growing businesses.
Job-creation push spawns flurry of numbers, opinions
"There have been a lot of tools coming out of MEDC we haven't had in past," she said. "The incentives are more individually crafted to the needs of businesses."
The Snyder administration has added a number of new financing and support services in the Jobs Fund aimed at helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses.
Those programs include management consulting services, support for business incubators and various business-financing programs in conjunction with banks, nonprofit groups and venture capital firms.
Pollina praised the administration's efforts to grow jobs from within the state.
"That's great," he said. "There are a lot of states out there that don't give assistance to existing businesses."
Kitchens said one area where incentives are lagging is in job training. Companies are looking to hire works who can hit the ground running, but don't have time or the financial resources to train them.
Many companies are facing a shortage of skilled workers, especially in such areas as tool-and-tie makers, and are seeking job training assistance.
"That's what keeps me up at night," he said.
Snyder has said he views economic development incentives as appropriations. Businesses and economic developers can go the Legislature and ask for more money if the state's $100 million runs dry, he has said.
Local economic development officials say they likely will do just that if the fund is depleted.
"Our hope is we do exhaust all the $100 million," Crary said. "It means we've got a lot of great companies investing in Michigan."
Rick Haglund has had a distinguished career covering Michigan business, economics and government at newspapers throughout the state. Most recently, at Booth Newspapers he wrote a statewide business column and was one of only three such columnists in Michigan. He also covered the auto industry and Michigan's economy extensively.

As someone who has built a business in Michigan without handouts I believe the strongest incentive for new businesses is the business climate in Michigan. Let's finish business tax reforms, implement right to work, make a commitment to following through on regulatory reform recommendation of the ORR and eliminate local zoning restrictions. Give struggling local businesses the climate to succeed and we will reinvent the Michigan economy internally without picking winners and losers through special handouts to outside entities.

Excellent Spot Treatment + Extra BHA Boost
By MelissaES
from Southern California
About Me Beauty Conscious
Comments about Resist BHA 9 Treatment - 0.3 oz:
Resist BHA 9 Treatment is an amazing product. I struggle with blackheads on my t-zone (mostly on my nose and chin) and the rare breakout. I use this as the final step in my skincare routine, which includes the PC4 Men Soothe and Smooth. (I purchased it when the Resist BHA liquid was out of stock and PC customer service told me it was the same product. I love that PC has crossover products with the men's line!) I use it as both a spot treatment on any red bumps and marks, which helps the bumps disappear and diminishes the marks. I also use it on my nose to help further decrease the number of blackheads and shrink a few large pores around the area. I use it for other things as well because it is a wonderful multipurpose product that helps with everything from fine lines to blackheads. I've already bought two trial sizes and I will likely commit to the full size in the future. I love PC's skincare and this one is a must have in my routine.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Bang for a buck!
By BK
from Philadelphia, PA
Just amazing!! You can see a progress in just a one day!! And it's not just a small change that only you can notice!! My skin problem was acne/skin imperfection/enlarged pores. For some reason, I've got a terrible break-outs, just recently. I was so stressed out since I've never had this kind of problem before. I've got a few big zits and my skin felt bumpy because of small whiteheads. And the breakouts left red-ish brown acne scars.Nothing worked until I started using this product! Even though I've only used it only a couple of days, I definitely see a difference. My skin feels much smoother, the bigger zits are diminished, pores are smaller and acne-scars are fading. And people seems to notice it as well. Some people are saying that the product is too expensive. But if you consider how effective it is, this is not true at all. And you're saving much more than seeing your dermatologist or getting a laser treatment. I feel like my skin problem will be totally gone within a month if I keep using it every day.

Must have for oily clogged pores.
By Quinn
from Rochester, MI
Ever since my hormonal acne erupted in college my skin has been so oily and bumpy esp. around my T-zone. This led to those troublesome clogged pores that has now made me so self-conscious about my face since my pores became enlarged. I've tried pore strips and countless drug-store salicylic acids/BHAs, which I've read help with large clogged pores, but they did absolutely nothing for my skin. I'm can't tell you how happy I was to have come across Paula's Choice BHAs esp. the Resist BHA 9, which is now the product I will never live without. I found that the Resist BHA 9 is actually less irritating and much more gentle than Paula's Choice BHA 2% (the BHA 2% made my skin peeled in layers). So gentle that I can use it every day. The Resist BHA 9 is very effective on clogged pores. A few minutes after application, I can dragged my fingers across my nose and a few blackheads and sebaceous follicles would come lose, literally. It also help to smooth out the bumpy texture I had around my T-zone and help reduce the amount of whiteheads I would get weekly. My skin routine includes 1 small pump of the Resist BHA 9 on my oily T-zone nightly and BHA 2% every other night.

Yikes, this see,Ed to make my pores MORE congested.
By Catherine
from Washington, D.C.
I've been using this daily for a week to try to get rid of some stubborn congestion in my t-zone, but it not only did not work but seemed to make the situation much worse. This is the only thing I changed in my routine.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great Spot Treatment
By Mimi
from Louisville, KY
I have not used this product all over, yet. I have used it for stubborn acne and it has helped tremendously. I also use it on new pimples and it helps them not become large and red.
Great Product
By Nikki
from Chicago, IL
I really like this product. I changed to this after using the 2% BHA gel and liquid formulas. I felt like those weren't enough for me. And for some reason my skin seems to get more oily when I use the liquid BHA. The BHA 9, however, does a great job. While I'm not totally free of a clogged pores, this does a great job of clearing them the best anything ever has, and, I find that if I feel a large pimple brewing, I apply this directly on it once or twice and it's gone the next day. I typically apply one pump of this to my entire face 2-3 nights a week, alternating with the 1% retinol cream on other nights. I get the benefits of both a strong BHA and retinol without any irritation. Win win.
By Cornelia
from North Carolina
I had higher expectations. I have been using it for almost two months and my results are the same as other less expensive products I have tried. Disappointingly ordinary.

I'm a believer
By Wendelah
from Panorama City
About Me Minimalist
I bought a sample size of this product about a year and a half ago to try to dissolve several large hard white bumps on the bridge and crease of my nose. After a few months, I didn't see a difference so I quit using the product. When another, smaller white bump appeared between my eyebrows, and one right on my upper lip-line, I decided to make some changes, and one of them was to restart BHA-9, this time with a fresh, full-sized product. This time, the magic worked: it took two months of nightly application, but a few weeks ago, the huge white bump on the bridge of my nose worked itself to the surface and finally popped out, leaving an ugly crater in its wake. But I kept using the BHA-9, and now the skin is smooth and clear. The bump between my eyebrows is nearly gone and as a bonus, the wrinkles have diminished. I still have the tiny white bump above my lip and the one on the crease but they are both smaller so I will keep applying it. I thought I was stuck with these bumps for good. I was wrong. This product took time to work its magic, but it did work. I will repurchase this.
It worked, after a while
By tori
from Toronto
Ok so, I really doubted that this product could work on sebaceous hyperplasia. I tried this product a bit, put it back on my self for a few months when I saw no results in the first 2 weeks, and then tried again for a few weeks, alternating with other BHA products. And darned if the bumps haven't shrunk. I have patches of flaking skin where I have applied it over the last few weeks, but the bumps I have been working on are gone. Ok, so, I love the product after all.
Wonderful product
By Lenell
from Virginia
I am in my 50s, with normal to dry skin, and this product as well as the 2% BHA liquid have improved my skin dramatically.After experimenting, I found that I get the best result by applying the BHA 9% all over my face at night time, rather than a spot treatment. My skin is noticeably smoother in the morning. I apply the 2% BHA during the day.Of course the product is too expensive to do this as often as I'd like, so 1/week. Also the product is initially sticky, and then becomes tacky for the 1st hour. Lastly, while I like the pump dispenser, it often leaks after use.

Amazon-exclusive content from author Bob Sehlinger 1. Select the time of year for your visit: Walt Disney World is busiest Christmas Day through New Year's Day. Thanksgiving weekend, the week of Washington's birthday, the first full week of November, spring break for colleges, and the two weeks around Easter are also times when visitation can peak at 92,000 visitors in a single day. The park is far less crowded during the off season, but be advised that the parks often open late and close early during that time. You can find detailed charts and info on the best times to visit in The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World. 2. Shape up: Visiting Disney World requires levels of industry and stamina more often associated with running marathons. As you plan your time at Disney World, consider your physical limitations. It's exhausting to rise at dawn and run around a theme park for 8 to 12 hours day after day. Every Disney World vacation itinerary should include days when you don't go to a theme park and days when you sleep in and take the morning off. Plan these to follow unusually long and arduous days. 3. Formulate your park plan: First-time visitors should see Epcot first; you'll be able to enjoy it without having been preconditioned to think of Disney entertainment as solely fantasy or adventure. See Animal Kingdom second. Like Epcot, it's educational, but its live animals provide a change of pace. Next, see Disney's Hollywood Studios, which helps transition from the educational Epcot and Animal Kingdom to the fanciful Magic Kingdom. Also, because DHS is smaller, you won't walk as much or stay as long. Save the Magic Kingdom for last; it's the park that epitomizes Disney World for most visitors. 4. Create your touring plan: Which rides and attractions appeal most to you? What are you willing to forgo? Planning your day in advance can save you up to four hours of waiting time in line. We have developed a hierarchy of categories that will help you evaluate each ride and plan the best way to enjoy them all. For example, SUPER-HEADLINERS are the best attractions the theme park has to offer – and they usually have the longest lines. MINOR ATTRACTIONS are midway-type rides, small "dark" rides (cars on a track, zigzagging through the dark) and walk-through attractions—which can be a lot of fun, without the long wait. Remember that bigger and more elaborate doesn't always mean better. See examples of touring plans (and create your own) in The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World. 5. Getting hungry?: There are three lessons to learn before you dine in the parks. One: Theme-park restaurants rush their customers in order to make room for the next group of diners. If you want to linger over your expensive meal, don't order your entire dinner at once. Order drinks. Study the menu while you sip, then order appetizers. Tell the waiter you need more time to decide among entrees. Order your main course only after appetizers have been served. Dawdle over dessert. Two: If you're dining in a theme park and cost is an issue, make lunch your main meal. Entrees are similar to those on the dinner menu, but prices are significantly lower. Three: Disney adds a surcharge of $4 per adult and $2 per child to certain popular restaurants during weeks of peak attendance, including Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and in 2009 every day from Memorial Day through July 4. Top Ten Unofficial Tips for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Amazon-exclusive content from author Bob Sehlinger 1. To avoid the worst of the crowds, either be at the turnstiles 45 minutes before park opening or visit the Wizarding World after 8 p.m. If the park closes at 8 pm or earlier, visit the Wizarding World one hour before the park closes. 2. See Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey first. If you haven't seen it before, use the regular queue that includes a tour of Hogwarts Castle. 3. If you want to repeat the ride portion of Forbidden Journey, use the singles line – you'll be able to ride in 20 minutes or less. 4. One of the coolest things in Wizarding World is the Wand Selection demonstration at Ollivander's Wand Shop in Hogsmeade Village. See it immediately after experiencing Forbidden Journey. 5. On busy days, there are lines for everything including shops, the restaurant, the pub, and even the Butterbeer vendor carts. Try to complete your shopping early in the morning or return to shop in the two hours before park closing. 6. To buy Butterbeer without a long wait go to the rear patio entrance to the Hogs Head Pub. 7. Butterbeeer comes in both a regular and frozen version. Most visitors prefer the frozen version. 8. Filch's Emporium of Confiscated Goods, which also doubles as the exit for the Forbidden Journey attraction is one shop you can visit without waiting in line, though you'll have to buck the tide of exiting riders. 9. Note that on busy days, if you exit the Wizarding World, you cannot return except by joining the end of the line of those waiting to enter. 10. If Florida schools are back in session, try to visit on a weekday. And be sure to check out Wizarding World in the evening when the lighting gives the park a totally different and magical look.

Will this be updated to work on WP 2.7?
Will this be updated to work on WP 2.7?
Dunno yet. Not before 2009 at least...
In the plugin I'm working a lot with the DOM, and with 2.7 this has changed quite much with the new interface. Some features still work as users report; those who are not working at the moment, might find their way into a 2.0 sometime.
What would it take for someone to assist you in making it 2.7 compatible? How can we as a community help?
sc0ttkclark, thanks. :) I'm already working on a 2.7 version. There's just so many stuff to do apart from wordpress plugin development... I'm planning to release it this week still though.
Compatible with 2.7 now: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/232110?replies=1 :-)
