Bishop; born in Swabia at an unknown date ; killed at Utrecht, 14 April, 1099. Before becoming bishop he was chamberlain of Archbishop Anno II of Cologne and, for a time, tutor of Prince Henry, the future Emperor Henry IV. When the excommunicated Bishop William of Utrecht died in 1076, the emperor gave the episcopal See of Utrecht to Conrad, who, like his predecessor, sided with Henry IV in his conflicts with Gregory VII, and at the Synod of Brixen in 1080 even condemned the pope as a heretic. The contemporary annalist, Lambert of Hersfeld, calls Conrad a schismatic bishop, unworthy of holding an episcopal see. In a battle with Robert, Count of Flanders, Conrad was defeated, afterwards taken captive and compelled to yield part of South Holland to Robert. This territorial loss of the bishop was compensated by the emperor, who, in 1077, gave him the district of Stavoren in Friesland, and in 1086 added the two other Frisian districts, Ostergau and Westergau. Conrad is the founder and architect of the collegiate church of Notre-Dame at Utrecht. He was assassinated, shortly after completing the Holy Sacrifice, by his Frisian architect whom he had discharged, and who, in the opinion of some, was instigated by a certain nobleman whose domains Conrad held unjustly. He is said to have written the discourse "Pro Imperatore contra Papam", and to have delivered it at the Synod of Gerstungen in 1085. It is inserted by Aventinus (d. 1534) in his "Vita Henrici IV" and by Goldast (d. 1606) in his "Pro Henrico IV imperatore". Hefele (Conciliengeschichte, V, 180, note) is of the opinion that the discourse is falsely attributed to Conrad of Utrecht, and that Aventinus himself is the author.

Well heres something for you PS3 owning people/things
One of the neatest features of the Playstation 3, in my book, is that you can swap out the hard drive it comes with yourself using an off-the-shelf hard drive. Sure it may be pretty self-explanatory to some, but not everyone knows how to upgrade the hard drive on their Playstation 3. Fortunately, Seagate was kind enough to send me a little howto guide and kit. The guide walks you through the relatively painless process for upgrading your 40GB or 80GB hard drive to something roomier, like say a 160GB drive.
The upgrade allows you to swap out the built-in drive with a new one, without losing any of your content. Why is Seagate explaining how to upgrade a Playstation 3? Because they sell hard drives silly. Hit the jump for the even-Brian-can-do-it instructions.
What you need:
An external hard drive for the backup (Seagate suggests their Maxtor OneTouch Mini)
A new hard drive (Seagate suggests their Momentus 5400.3 160GB (~$120) or a Momentus 7200.2 160GB (~$160).)
Mini screwdriver
How to do it:
Plug in your external drive and reformat it so the PS3 will recognize it.
Copy current PS3 hard drive content to your external drive.
Remove the standard issue console drive, following the installation instructions in the PS3 manual.
Replace the console drive with a the new drive.
Format new drive.
Plug in external drive and transfer content to the new drive.
Play Uncharted.

Portales and Dora school districts are each holding a Public School Capital Improvements Tax Election on Tuesday.
Polling takes place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The "two-mill levy" in each district raises money for equipment, maintenance, remodeling and repairs. For both districts, approval of the mill levy won't raise taxes, but will continue a tax that has been in effect for decades.
The mill levies impose a tax of $2 per $1,000 of taxable property value in the school district per year for six years.
"It's not a really expensive thing for an individual, but it sure is helpful to the district," Portales Superintendent Randy Fowler said.
Fowler has said the district couldn't survive without it.
For Portales schools, the two-mill levy is expected to raise about $435,000 at the local level, with the state providing matching money of about $395,000, if voters approve the tax, according to district information.
Dora Consolidated School District would receive a total of about $63,000 from the local tax and state contribution if the tax passes, Superintendent Steve Barron said.
"We don't get that much, but every little bit helps," he said.
In Portales, past two-mill levies have provided playground equipment, parking lot improvements, window replacements, softball field lighting and more, according to district information. Future Portales two-mill levy money is earmarked for such things as football field maintenance, portable classrooms, computer purchases and roof repairs.
In Dora, Barron said, past mill levy money has been used mainly for remodeling and maintenance. If the measure passes Tuesday, he hopes to prioritize saving the money to redo the Luscombe Gym roof, as well as using it for maintenance and replacement of small items.
"It's very important for our community to get behind supporting the two-mill levy to continue doing positive things for our district," Barron said.

Keys To A 5-0 Start For New Orleans
Four weeks of the NFL season are in the books and the New Orleans Saints are 4-0 - and they are improving each game.
Week 5 is a huge test on a few different levels for the Saints as far as keeping their lead in the division, winning a conference game for homefield advantage and exorcising the demons of not winning in Chicago.
Along with facing a hostile crowd in Chicago, the Saints will also have to contend with a less than spectacular playing surface, a defense known for takeaways and a much-improved offense.
When you look at this matchup on paper, the signs all point to the Saints suffering their first loss in 2013. What is on paper will not determine the outcome of the game, however. Instead, there are four key factors that the Saints must focus on to remain unbeaten.
Please, Please, Please Get The Running Game Going
In the Bears game against the Detroit Lions, RB Reggie Bush had a field day against the Chicago defense. Instead of running outside of the Bears line, Bush ran inbetween the tackles to get most of his yardage. If the Saints offensive line can get on track early, this is a great opportunity to get the running game going to tire out the defense and to keep the ball away from the Bears offense. Do not forget that it would also open up some play action passes for Pro Bowl QB Drew Brees.
Keep Cutler Unsettled
Against Detroit, Bears QB Jay Cutler's inner gunslinger came alive and he forced throws into coverage that were ultimately intercepted. Also, much like the Miami Dolphins, the Bears use the West Coast offense, which means they tend to throw a lot of slant routes, curl routes and smash routes. Bears head coach Mark Trestman's offensive philosophy is to throw the ball short and count on receivers Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffrey to break tackles and get the ball down the field.
A little press coverage from the Saints cornerbacks could help disrupt Cutler's timing with his receivers and could also lead to jumping routes and intercepting passes.
Even though the Bears offensive line has improved this year, there is the strong possibility that the Saints defense can get a push up the middle on Cutler. Sacking Cutler will make him become unhinged faster than anything else you can do to him.
Drew Brees Needs To Keep Spreading The Love
Just like last week against Miami, Brees just needs to be patient and take what the Bears give him. There will be a few mismatches that he will be able to take advantage of in the Bears secondary with all of his offensive weapons. This is a very good defense that thrives off turnovers, so the Saints should not take gambles because they can prove costly. It is going to be necessary that the offense gets passes off quickly so that Bears DE Julius Peppers does not get his hands on the Brees.
Stop Matt Forte
If Bears RB Matt Forte has a good game, that can spell doom for the Saints. It will be imperative that the Saints defense stops him early and often. Forte is a huge key to victory for the Bears, if not the main key for them. If the Saints can limit Forte to gains of two or three yards every time he carries the ball and not give up the big yardage runs, that would go a long way in frustrating Cutler.

This will not be your grandfather's three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust type of game. Instead, this has the makings of being a high-scoring affair. Both defenses will probably have a hard time stopping the opposing offense, but the team that can make that one last stop will win this game.
Prediction: Saints 31, Bears 14

Goalie situation going according to plan
Jonathan Quick will make his 51st start of the season tonight. After tonight, the Kings have 10 games remaining, including one set of back-to-back games and one two-game road trip, so it's reasonable to assume that, if things continue as planned, Quick will end up with 59 regular-season starts. That's exactly where Terry Murray wanted Quick to end up. Quick made a franchise-record 70 starts last season, and afterward Murray indicated that it had been too much, and that he wanted to limit Quick to 60 starts. Over a six-month season, things rarely go according to plan, but so far, this one has. Jonathan Bernier's strong recent play has made it easier for Murray to give Quick some rest, and Murray said he is pleased that things have worked out thus far…
MURRAY: "There was a stretch there, in the season, when we were going with Quick a lot. That was a bit of a change from the plan coming into the start of the year. That's the way it goes though. You've got to make those adjustments. I'm happy that it is working out, with that number of games. I think that's a clear message that he's our No. 1 guy. He has played very well for us all year long. It's going to help him be a physically stronger player at the end of the season. Emotionally, he has to tell me how he's doing, and clearly he's saying that he feels good, and fresher, and we're going to have a better player because of it.
"That's been the purpose of going about business the way we have, with both goaltenders splitting the most recent games. So that's a good thing for us, because I want to start to go more now with Quick, as we get to the stretch here, and have the big bulk of the responsibility on his shoulders. … The game today, it's a very demanding schedule. It seems to be more compressed today than ever, a lot of travel of course, and every game is such an important game that if you start to go with a young player — and we're talking about two young goaltenders here — I think if you put that kind of workload on a young goaltender, as I did last year with 70-plus games, it becomes a little too demanding. So this is a good thing, that we have Bernier. He's really stepped up his game. I love the way that he has improved his game in the second half here. He has played in, and won, some very big games. It's two guys working hard for the team, and it will help everybody stay refreshed."

How Equity Crowdfunding Can Swell to a $300 Billion Industry
Not everyone believes the crowdfunding industry has the potential to become so widespread.
To put it in perspective, at the end of the third quarter, small-business lending by banks (loans with a balance of $1 million or less) totaled $642 billion, according to FDIC call data.
That compares to just $1 billion to $1.2 billion in funding annually by the entire category of alternative lending, according to Biz2Credit.com
"Crowdfunding is a good idea, but the question is how to build it into long-term scalable business? Can a business owner keep coming back for funding two to three times each year? The regulations aren't set in stone yet. I don't think they have figured out the mechanism
He adds that while the process might work well for niche projects and startups, "it is less appropriate for buying equipment loans, capital improvements and working capital. These are the things needed day-to-day by small businesses such as a Dunkin' Donuts (DD) franchise or a medical office," Arora adds. "I don't foresee crowdfunding replacing SBA loans or business lines of credit. For a mainstream business, I don't think it works."
Still, crowdfunding will have a large impact on the investment world and fundamentally change the U.S. business culture, Camillo and other panelists agreed.
"Crowdfunding is social funding. So if you have an idea, you no longer have to be concerned about finding an angel investor or venture capital that understands
If the average investor took part in equity crowdfunding, the country could move from one that has 60,000 angel investors to 6 million angel investors, according to Camillo.
"I think over the course of the next decade you'll see crowdfund investments taking over the angel

Much has been made of players -- notably Jason Giambi, Johnny Damon and Bobby Abreu -- coming to camp in good shape and the tough conditioning work in Yankees camp.
Well, the players had fair warning. Staff members spent much of the winter sending letters and reaching out to players to tell them: come to camp in shape. The idea was players would be less prone to injury and could spend time working on baseball skills right away.
Now, I'm not very good at telling you how someone looks compared to four months or a year ago (although Brian Bruney's difference was hard to miss). And I'm withholding judgment on Damon, Abreu and Giambi until we see them in game action.

Salina, NY – A Jamesville man is in critical condition after being pulled from the wreckage after a two-vehicle collision this morning on Onondaga Lake Parkway, deputies said.
John Donegan III, 50, of 4542 Barker Hill Road, was extricated from his 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt after the 7:50 a.m. crash, said Sgt. John D'Eredita. He was taken to Upstate University Hospital.
The driver of the other vehicle, Andrea Akins, 43, of 4234 Lucan Road, Liverpool, swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid scrap metal in the road, D'Eredita said. Her 2006 Honda Civic crashed "nearly head-on" with Donegan's car.
D'Eredita said Akins was driving in the left lane when she tried to avoid the debris by moving into the right lane. At the last moment, she saw a car there and swerved to return to her lane, overcorrected and crossed into Donegan's path.
Akins and her daughter, Karima Akins, 18, were taken to University Hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening.
Akins was ticketed for failure to keep right, D'Eredita said.
Onondaga Lake Parkway reopened shortly before 11 a.m.

The meetings will be organized workshop style with a brief overview of main issues at the start, according to a news release from the city. Residents will then be able to branch out to various tables, each one devoted to a particular concern regarding the plan.
Tonight's workshop will be held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Wallace School gym, 1100 Willow Ave (please note the new location). The second workshop will be on Thursday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Hoboken Public Library, 500 Park Ave.
In September, the City Council convened for a special meeting where they were asked to consider moving the plan on to the Planning Board, the next phase in the redevelopment process. Several residents and council members expressed concerns that the plan did not yet reflect the community's desires and the council voted unanimously to table the resolution in favor of hosting additional meetings.
The current plan has been revised since it was first presented in 2008. On Sept. 15, residents gathered at the Jubilee Center where Janice Talley presented the revisions which include a pool, community center, small parks and requirements for office space. Check the city website for the revised draft.

Nawab Sir Malik Khizar Hayat Tiwana KCSI, OBE (Urdu: نواب ملک خضرحیات تیوانہ) came from a family which had, since the 15th century, been prominent among the landed aristocracy of the Punjab. Malik Khizar Hayat Tiwana was born in 1900 and died in 1975. Malik Khizar Hayat Tiwana's father was Major General Sir Malik Umar Hayat Khan (1875-1944), who acted as honorary aide-de-camp to George V and George VI and served as a member of the Council of the Secretary of State for India, 1924-1934. Tiwana was educated, like his father, at Aitchison College, Lahore. At the age of 16 he volunteered for war service and was commissioned to the 17th Cavalry in 1918. As well as his brief World War I service, Tiwana served in the Afghan campaign which followed, earning a mention in dispatches. Tiwana then assisted his father in the management of family estates in the Punjab, taking responsibility for them while his father was in London, 1929-1934. He was elected to the Punjab Legislative Assembly in 1937 and immediately joined the cabinet of Sir Sikander Hyat Khan, who had successfully led the Unionist Muslim League in the election, as Minister of Public Works. Tiwana remained in this post until 1942, succeeding Sir Sikander as Prime Minister to the Punjab from 1942 until 1947. He was a member of the Indian delegation to the Paris Peace Conference in 1946. Tiwana resigned his premiership on March 2nd 1947. Although he remained at Simla until independence, he did not thereafter seek an active part in politics and left the country, returning to Pakistan in October 1949. Among his principal concerns was the preservation of the family estates at Kalra from the exigencies of land reform and government control. He was awarded an OBE in 1931 and made a KCSI in 1946.

I see Codeine already mentioned this, but I ran across your uploads as well, and I want to clarify something. By uploading images, you are claiming that there is a legal use for them. The images you uploaded appear to be strictly copyrighted, so the only way you can legally use them is under the satire provision of fair use.

Technically we should probably have deleted them as well (from our upload page: "images which are clear copyright violations and/or which serve little satirical purpose WILL be deleted without warning").

The UP centers around collaboration and community involvement. The ecosystem functions as a whole irrespective of administrative or land ownership boundaries. We must, therefore, also work in this broad and dynamic manner.
Unfortunately, the often- conflicting demands on public lands and natural resources can result in natural resource management becoming "conflict management". While the public is applying pressure on management agencies to do a better job of managing public lands, the amount of money and resources spent on natural resource management is being reduced annually. Resolving these issues is of utmost importance to settle conflict, better utilize agency personnel, reduce waste of public funds, and do a better job of communicating and working with the communities while managing the public's natural resources. The foundation for the UP is to develop strong communication and collaboration among the agencies and community and to be more effective and efficient in managing landscapes on an ecosystem basis.
By using a collaborative approach, the UP Partnership hopes to balance economic, cultural, social and ecological values while improving the health of the ecosystem. The UP strives to use the best science available to develop and implement plans for sustainable natural resource management on the landscape.

On Friday night, September 5th, Officer Jared Tivnan was exactly where he needed to be.
At approximately 10 pm the Amherst Police received a call from a resident at 54 Bridge St. who stated that an unknown person had broken into his house and taken his laptop computer. The resident chased this person out of the house and towards Market Hill Road, but he did not chase the suspect very far. Instead, he returned to his house and called 911.
Officer Tivnan was in the area on a motor vehicle stop when this call came over the radio. Tivnan quickly ended his stop and headed towards Bridge Street looking for the suspect, who was described by Dispatch as a black male wearing a black shirt and a backwards baseball hat. Tivnan began an area search for this suspect, and, only moments later, located a person fitting the description.
Officer Tivnan observed that this suspect had labored breathing and was sweating profusely. He engaged him in conversation, and, while speaking with him, Tivnan and the suspect were approached by the victim who positively identified the man as the person who was just inside of his home. Once the victim identified the suspect, the man attempted to flee. After a brief struggle with the suspect, Tivnan placed the man under arrest.
Unfortunately, the laptop has yet to be recovered. The suspect is facing multiple charges including resisting arrest, B&E in the night time for a felony, and larceny over $250.00.

I'm really starting to feel bad for Palm (Nasdaq: PALM ) .
Today, trade publication Unstrung is reporting that the ailing maker of the Treo smartphone, which recently agreed to sell a 25% stake to a Silicon Valley private equity firm, has lost most -- or perhaps all -- of its engineers working to integrate Wi-Fi into the Treo line.
If true, it would be latest in a string of problems for Palm. Between its poorly received Foleo, inventory problems, and the apparent death of its personal digital assistant business, it hasn't exactly been fun to be a Palm employee recently.
Actually, it's worse than that. Palm can't even keep pace on basic features, with Wi-Fi as a good example. Many Nokia (NYSE: NOK ) handsets are armed with the technology today. And Research In Motion (Nasdaq: RIMM ) is purportedly on the verge of unveiling new BlackBerry models with built-in WiFi.
Then there's Apple's (Nasdaq: AAPL ) iPhone, whose introduction tomorrow should set a new benchmark for what's required of a smartphone. Yet Palm is still struggling with wireless Internet. Talk about retro. It's like that scene in the first Austin Powers movie, when the dashing-yet-buck-toothed Austin flashes a smile and a peace sign to giggling teens. You're so yesterday, Austin. You too, Palm.
Once, Palm built the products that made competitors jealous and consumers salivate. But those days are gone. And, if Unstrung is to be believed, not soon to return.
Brrrrrinnnng! It's related Foolishness calling:
- Palm may get the brush-off in its upcoming quarterly report.
- Could investing in Palm get you in early on the next iPod?

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - A man charged in last week's attempted kidnapping of a teen girl and abduction of a woman in Bessemer is a former Montgomery police lieutenant convicted in 2005 of providing information about a fellow officer to a suspected drug kingpin.
In the Bessemer case, George David Salum, 52, is charged with kidnapping, enticing of a child to enter a vehicle for immoral purposes, attempting to elude police and resisting arrest. He remained Monday in the Jefferson County Jail with bond set at $80,000.
According to a 2005 Associated Press story, Salum was accused of giving a police personnel file and photograph of a government witness to a private investigator employed by defendants in a drug kingpin case. The witness, Raymond David DeJohn, was part of the drug task force investigating the case, and his picture turned up on a defendant's website.
Salum, then 43, was a police officer for 20 years. He left the force after being placed on administrative leave. The indictment also accused Salum of gathering without authorization the criminal histories and backgrounds of other prospective government witnesses. Officials say he supplied the information with the full knowledge that the private investigator was working for a Montgomery businessman accused of trafficking marijuana who planned to use the data to discredit or intimidate the witnesses.
Salum was convicted by a jury on Nov. 10, 2005 and sentenced to 2 ½ years in federal prison, according to federal court records. He appealed that conviction to the Atlanta-based Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. In December 2007, the court denied his claim, records show. He was released from the Bureau of Prisons on April 24, 2009 and then served two years supervised release.
Montgomery television station WSFA reported that during his trial, testimony showed Salum was taking psychotropic drugs to battle a number of mental problems. Salum has a previous conviction for first-degree assault which involved a drunk driving incident that seriously injured someone. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, with six months to serve in that case. He also has prior arrests for attempting to elude, reckless endangerment, resisting arrest and DUI.
In last week's case in Bessemer, the ordeal began about 7:30 a.m. Wednesday outside of the Fourth Avenue Supermarket in Bessemer. A 13-year-old girl was waiting for the school bus when authorities say Salum approached her and asked about a girl named "Tori." He offered her $20 to get in the car with him, said Bessemer Lt. Darron Hunter.
The teen refused to get in the car with him and ran away. The girl told her mom what happened, and they called police. The man was gone, but authorities issued a lookout bulletin for his 2004 silver Hyundai Tiburon.
About 12:30 p.m., a Bessemer police officer spotted the car in the 2400 block of Ninth Avenue North. There was a female in the car with him, and she appeared to be a young child, authorities said. It also looked as if she was struggling with the driver.
A chase ensued. The pursuit went into Hoover where police surrounded the vehicle at the intersection of Alabama 150 and Ross Bridge Parkway. The female in the car was an adult, not a young child. She told police she was walking from a friend's house when Salum pulled up, got out of his car, grabbed her and forced her inside. One he drove off, Hunter said, he started asking for sexual favors. They were only in the car a short time before police got behind them.
It is not clear if Salum has an attorney in the Bessemer case.

Crosstoberfest, Providence Farm, Oct. 18th, Duncan BCAfter an absolutely horrendous downpour all day Saturday, everyone was fairly surprised that race day dawned bright and sunny. Not even a mud puddle to show for all the rain. Hmpf. Not very cross-like. But most of the 93 racers that rolled into Providence Farm seemed pretty happy with the change in weather. Experience Cycling Club had done a great job setting up the venue, with the smell of bratwurst in the air, pumpkins lining the course, and registration set up on a hay ride trailer at the epicenter of the site. Crosstoberfest, indeed.Race #1 (3 laps, 14 racers)Beginner Men & WomenMany of the beginner racers didn't have a chance to pre-ride the course before the 11am start time. Probably best, as the pre-ride reports had many riders out of breath commenting on the amount of climbing required per lap. Good to let the beginners start well rested.In the men's race, Aaraon Grant (Independent) took the early lead and did not look back, easily taking first place after his closest competitor, Rob Williamson (OBB) flatted and had to abandon. For the rest of the podium, experience proved superior as second time racer Greg Olson (OBB) overtook newbie Dan Brown (Independent) halfway through the race to claim second place. Of special note were performances by 12 year olds Tyson Black (Independent) who had the smoothest remounts of the bunch and Brody Hay (Healthy Habits) who gutted himself to make sure he was not lapped by the leader. The 22 minute Lighthouse Brewery beer prime went to Kim Cameron.In the women's race, Rita Wania (Organic Athlete) chewed up most of the beginner men to take the women's win while a mechanical saw Monica Birch's (Independent) podium dreams slip away. Charlene Stewart (Independent) had a clean ride to take second place and Glenda Harling (Nanaimo Bicycle Club) had a consistent race to finish third.Race #2 (5 laps, 30 racers)IntermediateThe biggest field of the day was at high noon as 30 intermediate racers toed the line. With his wanna-be- Dik-Cox -locks flowing in the wind, Dylan Tremblay (OBB) made it look easy to take yet another win in the 'Cross on the Rocks series. Behind him, young Michael Brinton (Independent) was frothing at the mouth but could not close the gap and had to settle for second. The race for third place was a battle for all five laps but it was Roland Rabien (Tripleshot) who made a last lap move to take third place. Chris George (PT Performance Training) was so beer thirsty that he waited on the finish line for a minute and a half, allowing other racers to pass him so that he could claim the Lighthouse Brewery beer 22 minute prime. Not that's a dedicated beer drinker.Race #3 (6 laps, 26 racers)Master Men & Open WomenFluffy is back! Aaron Dusseault (Russ Hayes) has been on the injured list for the entire cross season but must have been doing some secret workouts on the trainer because he was back with a vengeance to take the win in the Master men category. Dusseault took the hole shot and the Lighthouse Brewery 22 minute beer prime and never looked back to see David Holden (Procity Racing) trying to chase him down. Holden tried valiantly but could not close the gap and came second. Bill McMillan rode his mountain bike consistently to round out the podium in third. Much of the Masters field were a little embarrassed after being "chicked" by Kristenn Magnusson (Arrowsmith/Helly Hansen), who looked like she was playing ping pong with their egos. Kelly Jones (Sugoi) almost closed the gap when Magnusson flatted last lap, but had to settle for second place. Dawn Anderson (OBB/Everti) looked to be out for a sub-130 heart rate spin as she rolled across the line third place. Michelle Lantaigne (Independent) won the Lighthouse Brewery 22 minute beer prime.Race #4 (8 laps, 23 racers)ExpertThere were many ooh and ahhs in the crowd as newly crowned Masters National Champion John Fokkema (Procity Cycles) unveiled his red and white jersey on the front row. But it was Craig Richey (Blue Competition Cycles) that took off from the gun to lead from wire to wire for the win. With a second to last call-up, Rob Britton (Trek/Procity) had to sift through the debris before he could hunker down and focus on the chase. But by then Richey was long gone, Britton had to settle for second. Third place looked to be a battle between Fokemma and Russell Anderson (Everti/OBB) until Fokemma was attacked by killer bees and had to abandon. More carnage followed as the DNFs continued. The Lighthouse Brewery 32 minute beer prime was won by Jeff Riemer (Arrowsmith) who strategically crashed, ensuring the closet competitor did not snake his suds.Dave Shishkoff already has his photos posted here: picasaweb.google.com/davenoisy1/20091018CrossOnTheRock3Providence

Satin ribbons,
Dancing under a clear blue sky,
And a world that smells of roses.

Brother Jack on Grandfather's lap,
A brand-new car,
And a special dance only Grandfather does.

The Feb. 28 article "CDC panel expands flu shot guidance" says: "Sue Collins, who co-founded the anti-vaccine advocacy group New Jersey Alliance for Informed Choice, called the CDC's new 'blanket' recommendation for pediatric flu shots a bad idea." I want to make it very clear that the alliance has never been anti-vaccine. We are about vaccination choice. It should be the right of all parents to decide if and what vaccinations their children receive. Any medical procedure that carries the risk of injury or death must involve informed consent, and vaccinations are no exception.
For nine years, we have been working to educate parents so that they can make the best decisions for their families. With four new vaccine requirements scheduled to take effect in September (including an annual flu shot for children 6 to 59 months), New Jersey is the state requiring the most vaccinations for children. Are we overvaccinating our children in the name of preserving their health? It is imperative now more than ever that New Jersey pass conscientious belief exemption legislation to mandatory vaccination (A260/S1071). Parents need choices, not mandates.

Vestal, NY (WBNG Binghamton) Binghamton University students attended a speaker series, known as TEDx, where audience members hear stories from distinguished people in and out of their community.
The theme for Sunday's seminary was called "Stray the Course."
Organizers hope the event teaches people that they can create something extraordinary by going out of their comfort zones.
"That crazy idea they thought was too crazy, it isn't crazy anymore. Basically they can walk out and say I want to change the world, I want to do something amazing, and these seven speakers from all walks of life came out and inspired me to do so," said organizer Stephanie Izquieta.
"Not every animal is out on the BBC in the Serengeti in the middle of nowhere, but there is things in your backyard you could be interested in and it can draw questions out of you," said Ben Eisenkop, a speaker at the event.
TED is a world-wide organization that helps to create similar events across the globe.

To the Editor:
I was the village of Fayetteville mayor in 2001. When we had a vacancy for the position of village judge, one candidate stood way above the others; that was Tom Miller.
Miller has a burning passion to provide justice with compassion for all who come before him. He has incomparable knowledge of the law and always does his job in a professional manner.
Miller is a devoted family man. He is well a respected citizen and always available for the community.
Experience, integrity, good judgment, intelligence, family man, that is Tom Miller.
After working with Tom for eight years, I believe he is the clear choice for Onondaga County Court judge. Vote for Tom Miller.

By Steven Pressman
For a long time, politicians have understood that unemployment affects election outcomes. The lower the unemployment rate, the greater the chance an incumbent will be re-elected.
Since the 1930s, when John Maynard Keynes explained how economies work, economists and politicians have known how to use economic policies to create jobs.
All this knowledge has good consequences and bad consequences.
On the positive side, we can grow the economy, reduce unemployment and improve the lives of Americans.
In addition, there are great incentives to do this. After all, who wants to lose an election because the unemployment rate is too high?
On the negative side, economic knowledge can do considerable damage. One example of this has come to be known as the "political business cycle."
The year before a presidential election, politicians enact policies to expand the economy. Examples of this are the Nixon stimulus programs of 1971 and 1972, and the 2003 Bush tax cuts.
To ensure their re-election, politicians would tend to overdo the stimulus, generating inflation, which had to be dealt with after the election by increasing unemployment. The end result is that politics causes our business cycles.
Sadly, we are now witnessing something much worse than this: the leading edge of a reverse business cycle.
Rather than stimulating the economy before election time, we now have one political party trying to slow it down for political gain. It opposes government spending and tax cuts for average Americans. Its leading candidate for the presidential nomination calls "treasonous" any attempt by the central bank to create jobs by lowering interest rates.
This strategy has three downsides. First, fiscal and monetary austerity slows down economic growth. Millions of Americans will not get jobs and will not spend enough to create jobs for others.
There is also much long-run damage. Skills lost during unemployment make people less employable when the economy recovers. Debt incurred by families while waiting for the good times to return will take years to repay, even if good jobs can be found. Retirement appears more and more like a distant dream.
Our gravest danger, however, is that the reverse business cycle becomes institutionalized as both political parties seek to sabotage the economy for their own gain.
A year or two before each presidential election, the party not controlling the White House will push for a balanced budget. It will filibuster, refusing to approve spending and refusing to raise the national debt ceiling.
At the same time, political and psychological pressure will be put on the central bank to not cut interest rates. There might even be threats to filibuster re-appointment of the Federal Reserve chairman.
The economic effect of this will be higher unemployment during an election year. The political effect will be that the incumbent president fails to get re-elected and his (or her) party loses many congressional seats.
After the election, of course, something will have to be done about unemployment — a stimulus package and lower interest rates. But as the next presidential election approaches, concern about budget deficits and inflation resurface and the party out of power will do its best to slow economic growth.
For all its faults, the regular business cycle usually gave us 4 percent to 5 percent unemployment around election time and higher unemployment at other times. A reverse business cycle promises 8 percent to 9 percent unemployment approaching presidential elections and slightly lower unemployment at other times. It is a recipe for long-term economic disaster.
I see only two escape mechanisms from a reverse political business cycle.
First, politicians may be too incompetent to actually implement what they want to do. Given recent events in Washington, D.C., I take this to be unlikely.
Second, there is the hope of democracy. At some point, people will figure out what is going on and respond appropriately — by throwing out the bums who intentionally create unemployment and economic hardship for their own political advantage.
Until then, a reverse business cycle will threaten U.S. economic prosperity and the American dream.

In both robberies, the suspect brandished a black handgun, demanded money from the clerk and fled without further incident, Coopersburg police Chief Daniel Trexler said. The robbers share physical characteristics, as well, he said.
His investigators are comparing notes with Colonial Regional police to see if the similarities are more than coincidental, Trexler said.
The borough robbery occurred 2:51 p.m. Oct. 12 at US Gas, 360 N. Third St., police said. The suspect left with an undisclosed amount of cash and was last seen walking on Fairmount Street toward Main Street, police said.
The township robbery occurred about 8:35 p.m. Tuesday at US Petroleum, 3562 Bath Pike, police said. The suspect got $800 from the clerk and left on a bicycle, police said.
No one was hurt in either stickup, police said.
Anyone with information about the borough robbery should call Coopersburg police at 610-437-5252. Anyone with information about the township robbery should call Colonial Regional police at 610-861-4820.

Losing fat while gaining muscle is the holy grail of the fitness and body building world and it is not an easy task. Yes, it is possible in that your body will add muscle if you're working your muscles and getting enough protein. Running a calorie deficit is required to lose weight of course which makes it harder to get up the energy to work your muscles.
Usually when someone loses a lot of fat by running a calorie deficit for a long time they will also lose some lean body mass as well. Conversely a lot of strength training types will add on fat during a bulking (or fulking in extreme cases) phase in addition to lean body mass. Doing both at the same time requires a delicate balance.

To be sure, the focus of Nelson Mandela's memorial ceremony this week was the man himself.
But resounding chatter from that day revolved around a selfie — a very high-profile selfie.
Capturing the moment was a photo taken at the #MandelaMemorial in South Africa by Roberto Schmidt of Agence France-Presse. His photo of the selfie moment had President Barack Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt pressing together for a group camera phone shot.
Trending in the wake of the endlessly retweeted photo: Danish PM. But most notably, Michelle Obama.
The president's impromptu handshake with Cuban President Raul Castro at the same event caused some talk but didn't spark so much of a gut reaction as the First Lady's expression. As the photo of a selfie-in-progress made the rounds, tweets conveyed the idea that Michelle Obama held the keys to old-fashioned decorum, the kind that wouldn't, say, endorse selfies at funerals.
Unlike — wait for it — selfiesatfunerals.tumblr.com. The last post on that Tumblr blog is followed by the photo of Obama, Cameron and Thorning-Schmidt. It reads:
"Obama has taken a funeral selfie, so our work here is done."
Schmidt — the AFP photographer, not the prime minister — talked about his photo's reception.
"I later read on social media that Michelle Obama seemed to be rather peeved on seeing the Danish prime minister take the picture," he wrote on AFP's "Correspondent" blog. "But photos can lie. In reality, just a few seconds earlier the first lady was herself joking with those around her, Cameron and Schmidt included. Her stern look was captured by chance."
Reality star gone wrong
An unlikely trend this week, for an unlikely set of reasons: Tila Tequila.
If the former reality star's goal was to get attention, she succeeded.
The one-time star of MTV's "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila" got 100,000 Google searches Tuesday for a photo posted to her Facebook and website — anonymoustruthblog.com — in which she wears Nazi garb.
Ms. Tequila has also been quite vocal about her related beliefs, making the uniform no accident.
On Saturday Tequila began with a post titled "Why I Sympathize With Hitler Part 1: True History Unveiled." Tequila made some remarks, too, about Paul Walker's death being a "ritualistic murder," which didn't exactly endear her any further to the tweeting audience.
In the headlines
Nominations for the #GoldenGlobes Thursday morning were among the announcements that signaled the start of awards season, with James Spader ("The Blacklist") and Chiwetel Ejiofor ("12 Years a Slave") among the nominees that trended.
The phrase "True New Yorkers" hit Twitter on Tuesday when Curtis Granderson, the former Yankees player who is new to the Mets, made this comment: "A lot of the people I've met have said that true New Yorkers are Mets fans. So I'm excited to get a chance to see them all out there."
Mary Barra, General Motors' new CEO — the first woman to hold the title, at that company, or in the U.S. auto industry — trended on her appointment to the role.
Supermodel Gisele Bundchen got 50,000 searches Wednesday when the former Victoria's Secret Angel posted a photo of herself breastfeeding to Instagram.
And Tuesday's "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2013" trended doubly on Google, the second time — on Wednesday — as "VS Fashion Show."
The American Country Awards had the same effect on Twitter, popping up as #ACAs.
And the hashtag #FiveWordTechHorrors had web experts and the tech set chiming in with zest Wednesday. A few entries:
• "My nephew knows web design."
• "Only supported on Internet Explorer."
• "It works on my machine."
YouTube Rewind — the network's annual look back at the year in video — trended off a nearly six-minute mashup with the stars of the year's trendy clips.
Taking a cue from the viral video "What Does the Fox Say?", it's called "YouTube Rewind: What Does 2013 Say?" In the mix: Daft Punk, Pharrell, Jimmy Fallon and the Roots, the Harlem Shake, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Jenna Marbles, Psy, Prancercise and Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball."
The "What Does the Fox Say?" music video — starring the Norwegian comic duo Ylvis — was the ultimate victor, its view count nearing 300 million this week. YouTube Rewind itself got 9 million views on Wednesday alone, the day it was posted. A tiny dancing fox moved into the corner of YouTube's homepage, beckoning visitors to the video.
While last week's big social TV winner was "The Sound of Music Live," ranking No. 1 in the Nielsen Twitter TV Ratings top 10, this week the miniseries "Bonnie & Clyde" drummed up audience tweets.
Premiering Sunday, when it became a Google Trend as Bonnie and Clyde with more than 500,000 searches, the serial program — criticized for not holding true to history — drew a Twitter audience of 1.8 million, followed by 1.3 million for its second night Monday. The reimagining aired simultaneously on A&E, Lifetime and History.
Also Monday, #nytguesses, a New York trend, was sparked by a tweet from an editor with the newspaper. The tweet, sent Sunday, promised a story of great significance was forthcoming.
The hashtag took stabs — many pretty far out there — at what that story might cover. Edward Snowden? Drones? Hipsters?
But the surprise ended up being "Invisible Child," subtitled "Girl in the Shadows: Dasani's Homeless Life," a long feature story that tracks the life of a homeless city girl.
Over the weekend, Rebecca Black, the teen who was responsible for "Friday," the adventure in nasally autotune that in 2011 commandeered the internet, was back with — you guessed it — "Saturday," her follow-up music video. Black got 100,000 searches Saturday.
Not related: the 100,000 searches that went to "Grammy nominations 2014."
Black received none.

Colin Stripling, a senior, leads Scotch Plains through a tough upcoming schedule. Scotch Plains, No. 3 in The Star-Ledger Top 20, travels to Elizabeth Thursday before playing host to No. 7 Kearny on Saturday.
Stripling has two goals and three assists this season for No. 3 Scotch Plains (4-0-1). He registered both goals in a 4-0 victory over Hillsborough on Sept. 8 and has had an assist in three of the team's five games. Stripling is one of the key players on a team stocked with talented players. That's why it isn't as important for Stripling to put up big numbers, but rather control the game from the midfield.
No. 3 Scotch Plains features a powerful, but balanced, offensive attack. It has scored 18 goals in five games, but no player has more than two goals.
Union has gotten off to a bit of an inconsistent start, albeit against quality opposition. It looks build off its most recent game, a 2-0 victory over Cranford on Sept. 15.
A pair of 1-1 ties to Brearley and Linden opened the season for Union (1-1-2), which followed with a tough one-goal loss at Elizabeth. Union has allowed three goals in four games this season, but only has one win. But it has a chance to prove itself this week, as it hosts No. 16 Westfield on Thursday and then welcomes No. 3 Scotch Plains on Monday.
Those two games alone will tell us a lot more about where Union stands within the county.
Thursday: Hillside (4-0) travels to Roselle Park (1-4) as it tries for five straight victories to open the season.
Thursday: No. 3 Scotch Plains will play in Elizabeth (2-1-1) in a tough road test.
Saturday: Gov. Livingston (3-1) faces No. 17 Hunterdon Central (4-0) as it tries to bounce back from a Sept. 15 loss to Bridgewater-Raritan.
Saturday: No. 3 Scotch Plains hosts No. 7 Kearny (5-0) as it continues an extremely difficult slate of games.
Monday: Cranford (2-2) and No. 16 Westfield (2-1-2) play in a game that should help Cranford see where it stands within the county hierarchy.

Two different examples that illustrate the same theory are not considered a red herring fallacy. There are numerous examples of the bystander effect occurring in the US and other countries as well. You need to look further into the Kitty Genovese case, since you clearly have no idea what you are talking about in regards to the incident. Yes, I know the social sciences lack validity since the field does not fit into your worldview, I'm sure your intellect is far greater then the scientists that dedicate their lives to studying human behavior. Lie to yourself about humanity if you must, but don't expect others to buy into personal opinions.
May 24, 2013 at 2:09pm
The same behavior has occurred in the US as well, the murder of Kitty Genovese is probably the most well known incident that happened in America. With that being said just because the bystander effect is a known phenomenon in no way excuses inaction. While the behavior is social in nature it falls upon the individual to intervene, absolutely disgusting to do nothing.

Sound advice, as ignoring problems within a relationship is far better then addressing the given issues. Ladies I'm sure the man in your life will most certainly respect you for keeping quiet and staying in the relationship after his infidelity. I'm of the mind once a cheater, always a cheater, man or woman if your partner is cheating, get out you deserve better.

More 30's from Mom
Isn't this tumbler quilt sweet? It was very quick to cut out with the Accuquilt GO and then Mom randomly added the flowers (also cut with the GO).
10 Responses to "More 30's from Mom"
I LOVE this quilt! The design is adorable and so are the fabrics. Your Mom did a great job on this one!
Please stop showing these quilts. I am not walking around the house all day chanting "I don't need a GO, I don't need a GO, I don't need a GO……."
Ooooohhh…the flowers are a WONDERFUL touch to this quilt! Well done Mom! I love 30's!
This is adorable! Long sigh!! I'm with Vicki, I don't need a GO! But gosh, I sure want one!
It is so sweet!
I really like the little tumbler quilt. The flowers really add a special touch. Good job…
Mary, your mom's quilt from the 30's fabrics is adorable. Thank you too for the quilt instructions.
I need a GO too! I like to make my quilts fast and every time you show the GO…I am thinking I have to get one.
CITY QUILTS would be really neat in 30'S!~~~~
tHAT cALEB IS A CUTIE!!!
Your Mom has a real eye for lovely quilts. The flowers are a great addition–rounded to offset the angles and perfect with those fabrics.
of all the tumbler quilts I've seen – your mom's is BY FAR THE CUTEST!!! I love the 30's and the GFG in the centers of the white blocks is perfect! 😉

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio used his week away from Washington to meet with constituents. Marco participated in a series of events in the Panhandle, including a constituent coffee and visiting military installations in the region. On Tuesday, Marco marked the first anniversary of Osama Bin Laden's death by continuing to speak out against cuts to our nation's defense capabilities. This Sunday, tune in to catch Marco on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace. Check your local listings for more information.
For more ways to stay connected with Marco's office, be sure to "like" Facebook his page, follow the office Twitter account , check out his mobile apps , and subscribe to his YouTube channel.
Rubio Visits Florida Panhandle
This week, Marco met with business and community leaders at a constituent coffee hosted by the Panama City Beach Chamber of Commerce. Marco also toured Tyndall Air Force Base, the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field.
The Past & the Future of America's National Defense
Marco took a moment on the anniversary of Osama Bin Laden's death to reflect on the future of our national security. He also called for passage of The Down Payment to Protect National Security Act, a bill he cosponsored, which stops the automatic, across-the-board cuts to our nation's defense capabilities. Read more here .
Rubio: "Unfortunately, the world remains a dangerous place and requires American leadership to address the numerous security challenges we face at home and abroad. Bin Laden is gone, but there are many more dangerous terrorists around the world who seek our destruction, as well as rogue regimes like Iran and North Korea that pose significant nuclear threats. Having a 21st century military to meet these and other challenges is of critical importance."
Constituent Corner
This week, Marco's staff was able to successfully resolve a case for Marvin, a Gulf Coast resident whose IRS tax refund had been intercepted and fraudulently cashed. His tax refund included a first-time homebuyer's credit and was for over $8,000. Marco's staff contacted the U.S. Department of the Treasury and their fraud group determined that the check was cashed by someone else. His new refund check has been approved and reissued.

Mobile Office Hours
Marco's staff will be hosting " Mobile Office Hours" to meet with constituents and assist them with federal issues in their own communities.

LeBlanc and Dowe
AMHERST – Go to a party, support a good cause.
The Amherst chapter of the Kidney Foundation of Canada is having their eighth annual Kitchen Ceilidh this Saturday, Apr. 27, at the Knights of Columbus Centre on Robie Street.
"I think it's a fun event…(with) amazing talent," said Michelle LeBlanc, past president of the chapter and chair of the committee throwing the fundraiser.
Offshore will be performing at the dance, as well as two members of Sweet Addiction, Liz Dowe and Danielle White. LeBlanc said Offshore has performed at the event every year.
Music for the night will range from country to pop, soft rock to Celtic.
"I think it's a fantastic cause," said Dowe.
"It is important…anything to do with health…I'm willing to help."
The singer is friends with LeBlanc's brother, who was the recipient of a donated kidney. The committee chair said proceeds from the ceilidh – more than $3,000 last year – go to research and patient services, and to fund awareness and education.
The kidney foundation has been shrinking in Nova Scotia, down from 20 or more to just four, according to LeBlanc.
"We've still got a good group here in Amherst," she said.
Saturday's event is one of five major fundraisers each year. The past president said the chapter raises about $60,000 each year.
Volunteer numbers may be down, but need certainly isn't. Incidences of diabetes, for example, are on the rise – mainly due to obesity – she said – and foundations need to work together to tackle the problem.
The event runs 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.. Tickets are $10 from McCully Market & Things, and there will be a cash bar, as well as door prizes and a raffle.

A source close to the team originally said that Bromley's injury is not season-ending and his status would be officially day-to-day. Yet, the source did not sound hopeful that Bromley would be available for this week's game. He apparently responded well enough to aggressive treatment to at least make the trip with the team. Whether he actually plays remains to be seen.
Bromley (6-foot-4, 290 pounds) is a critical element in the team's run defense. The true junior has made 20 consecutive starts and has played in 32 games overall during his SU career. He has 24 tackles this season and is especially effective at tying up opposing offensive linemen so Orange linebackers can make tackles.
If Bromley is unable to play the team will likely turn to true sophomore Eric Crume (6-0, 306), who made a career-high four tackles in Saturday night's 37-36 victory at South Florida. Crume has been the first tackle off the bench in a rotation at the position. The team could also use sophomore defensive end Micah Robinson (6-4, 270), who has the ability to move inside, and junior-college transfer Zian Jones (6-4, 315). Another junior-college transfer, Davon Walls (6-5, 310), could also see some time.
Cincinnati leads the Big East in rushing, averaging 221-plus yards per game, a fact that makes Bromley's presence today especially important.

A corneal ulcer (ulcerative keratitis/eyesore) is an open sore on the cornea.
The cornea is the window through which we see the world. It is the clear and round front part of the eye through which light passes. Damage to the cornea due to inflammation or injury produces an ulcer.
The ulcer can either be located in-
The centre of the cornea, where it greatly affects the vision
In the periphery, where it does not affect the vision very much
If left untreated, a corneal ulcer or infection can permanently damage the cornea. An untreated corneal ulcer may also result in perforation of the eye and introduction infection, increasing the risk of permanent visual impairment.
Corneal ulcer can occur due to vitamin A deficiency, infections of the eye, small tears on the cornea, chemical burns, extended use of contact lenses, dry eyes or ocular herpes. The ulcer can be extremely painful presenting with a white or gray spot on the cornea, red eye, swollen eyelids, excessive watering of the eye, pus discharge and blurry vision. Treatment of corneal ulcers and infections depends upon the cause. Corneal ulcer should be treated as soon as possible to prevent further injury to the cornea and alteration of vision.

Police say that Abrams allegedly told the woman, "I'm a kill you! You and me! You and me!" Which is actually less creepy than some of their lyrics.

Enumclaw and White River school districts' levies on the February ballot
Voters in the Enumclaw and White River districts will soon be asked to decide the fate of a pair school levies – one of the basic "maintenance and operations" variety and another for technological enhancements.
In Enumclaw's case, both levies are of the replacement variety. In White River, the M&O proposal would take the place of an existing levy, while the technology levy seeks new dollars.
All four levies will be decided as part of the Feb. 11 election. Ballots will be in the mail later this month and must be postmarked by election day. The four ballot measures require a simple majority for passage.
Enumclaw's M&O levy
The M&O levy is pretty straightforward, with no surprises for anyone familiar with the way school districts operated in Washington state. The bulk of the district's funding comes from the state, collected in the form of property taxes, but districts also rely on local support.
Enumclaw's M&O levy – most recently approved in February 2010 – has come to represent about 20 percent of the district's overall budget. M&O money is used for day-to-day operations within the district, specifically for things like utilities, transportation, special education, substitute teachers, athletics and activities, custodians, nurses and other specialists.
Everyone who owns taxable property pays into the M&O levy and, during the course of Enumclaw's four-year proposal, that would equate to more than $42 million. The February ballot measure would be for collections in 2015 through 2018, starting with $10.1 the first year and close to $10.8 million in year four.
Individual tax collections are based on property values and Enumclaw taxpayers are now paying at a rate of $3.83 for every $1,000 of assessed property value. If the February M&O levy is approved, the rate would jump slightly to an anticipated $3.89. That means an extra $15 per year for the owner of property – home and land – carrying an assessed value of $250,000.
White River's M&O
White River's official ballot wording indicates the levy would be used to "support and maintain the district's K-12 educational programs, fund day-to-day operations, including classroom teachers, librarians, nurses, textbooks and instructional materials, athletics, arts and music programs and security."
District Finance Director Ramona Moan reports the replacement levy, if passed, would create no additional tax burden on district property owners. The present rate is $4.17 per $1,000 of assessed property value and it's estimated that figure would stay the same for four years.
In all districts, the numbers can fluctuate slightly as the assessed value of the entire district goes up or down.
The four-year M&O levy looks to collect $37.1 million, starting with $8.7 million the first year and $9.8 in the final year.
Enumclaw's tech levy
The February proposal is a six-year version of a tech levy first passed in February 2009.
The ballot presented to voters says the proposition "would authorize the district to acquire and install instructional technology equipment and infrastructure, provide related staff training and make other technology improvements and upgrades."
This current request cannot be called a "continuation" levy because the earlier levy called for tax collections in 2010 through 2013. If the technology levy passes in February, collections will be in 2015 through 2020. There will be no "tech levy" taxes collected in 2014.
The proposed rate is significantly lower than the rate approved in 2009. For the past four years, Enumclaw district property owners have been paying 39 cents per $1,000 of property value for technology. The current proposal calls for six years, each at 27 cents.
White River's technology levy
White River is looking at a two-year technology levy, with collections in 2015 and 2016, that would collect a total of $2.1 million.
According to the ballot, the money would pay for "the acquisition of technology and related equipment, including but not limited to instructional hardware and software, infrastructure upgrades, and training to integrate new technologies into classroom instruction."
If authorized by the voters, tech levy taxes would be collected at a rate estimated at 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed value each year. For the owner of a $250,000 property, that means an additional $125 annually.
White River tried once before to pass a technology levy, putting a four-year measure before district voters in the spring of 2008. That request was denied.

Democrat Jim Mowrer is touting his experience in the Pentagon as he seeks to unseat U.S. Rep. Steve King.
And he's not shying away from criticizing the Republican lawmaker from Kiron more than a year in advance of the general election that will determine who represents the 4th Congressional District.
''I have a record of results, of getting things done, of working with Democrats and Republicans on behalf of the American people,'' Mowrer said Thursday during a visit to Fort Dodge.
He claimed that he saved the country ''several million dollars through good public policy'' while serving as the special assistant to the undersecretary of the Army for more than three years.
King, he said, has little to show for spending more than a decade in the House of Representatives.
''In Congress, he's never passed major legislation, he doesn't chair any committees and he's never been willing to sit down with Democrats and Republicans to find commonsense solutions,'' Mowrer said.

About Jim Mowrer
Age: 27
Home: Boone
Family: Wife, Chelsey; two sons.
Education: Master's degree from George Mason University, Fairfax, Va.; bachelor's degree from American Military University, an online institution with its headquarters in Charles Town, W.V.; graduate of Boone High School.
Military experience: Veteran of 1st Battalion, 133rd Infantry Regiment, Iowa Army National Guard.
Experience: Worked most recently as special assistant to the undersecretary of the Army; previously worked as civilian contractor for the Army in Iraq.
In the Pentagon, Mowrer helped to establish the Army Office on Business Transformation and served as the Army's liaison to the Council of Governors. He resigned that position last month to move back to Boone, where he grew up, and campaign for the House.
He has no opponents for the Democratic nomination.
Mowrer said passing a farm bill that includes both agriculture and nutrition programs would be a top priority for him in Congress.
''Cutting it up is clearly not the answer,'' he said. ''We need a comprehensive farm bill that gives farmers and Americans certainty.''
He also pledged to tackle the backlog of veterans' disability claims.
''When we needed them the most, they stood up and said they would go,'' said Mowrer, who spent 16 months in Iraq as an Iowa Army National Guard soldier. ''That means we need to be willing to do whatever it takes to care for them because they have borne the scars on behalf of the American people.''
''If it requires increased spending, that's what it takes,'' he added.
Developing biofuels and wind energy are additional priorities for Mowrer. He also advocates investing in infrastructure.
The candidate said he supports the immigration reform bill passed by the Senate. He said it restores the rule of law, requires illegal immigrants to register and pay a fine, and it increases border security.
Mowrer said he supports the controversial electronic surveillance effort of the National Security Administration.
''I believe that it is a sound program,'' he said.
''I think the process and the program worked,'' he said. ''I think it was an effective program and it's now less effective and we are less safe because it's public. I don't think there were privacy violations.''
The 4th Congressional District includes Webster County and all of its surrounding counties.
