BARTOW | Polk County Tax Collector Joe Tedder announced plans today to locate his new office in an old Publix Supermarket building on Massachusetts Avenue in Lakeland.
BARTOW | Polk County Tax Collector Joe Tedder announced plans today to locate his new office in an old Publix Supermarket building on Massachusetts Avenue in Lakeland.
He presented his plan to the County Commission during a work session.
The estimated cost of the project is $4.6 million.
The new 25,312-square-foot facility, which will include a new drivers license office as well as other services now located at the government center in the former Searstown complex, is expected to open in October, Tedder said.
"I'm very excited," Tedder said.
He said the office will serve all of western Polk County and is one of three offices planned. The Lake Wales office has opened already. A Haines City location is still in the planning stage.
He said he and his staff have been looking for a site for the past year and a half.
Tedder said when he initially looked at the Massachusetts Avenue site he wasn't sure whether the public would feel comfortable coming because it's in a blighted area of town.
But after talking with Lakeland officials, he was persuaded to consider it because it lies along a corridor that includes Lakeland Regional Medical Center and the new Florida Polytechnic University campus.
Tedder said he expects to get $600,000 toward the project from the Midtown CRA.
"There's an exciting redevelopment aspect that this will generate,'' Tedder said.
He said he has been working with Publix officials on the restoration of the building's original Art Deco architecture.
The store originally opened in 1953. In more recent years it was an auto dealership. It is currently vacant.
Architect Jerry Trout said the building is being designed to maximize customer service .
He said the design will include landscaping to create a "pedestrian-friendly" edge along Massachusetts Avenue to support the Midtown CRA's redevelopment efforts.
County Manager Jim Freeman said he will recommend spending $1.2 million toward the project using general fund reserve funds.
The rest of the money for the project will come from Tedder's budget.
Action is expected at Tuesday's regular meeting.

- "You know, Max, I'm a lot of things: airhead, a clotheshorse, occasional bitch. But I am not a quitter"
- —Naomi
She appears to be shallow due to her rich and popular status, but gradually reveals more depth. She is best friends with Annie, Ivy, Silver and Adrianna. Naomi was born on September 14, 1993 in Beverly Hills. She is the daughter of Charles and Tracy Clark and the younger sister of Jen Clark. Naomi is attractive, privileged, stunning and popular just like Kelly Taylor with whom the media has compared her. She's a very good person at heart and very protective of her friends, but can also be very cruel and arrogant to others if they have hurt her. She is a different person to her friends, a different person to her family and a different person to her teachers.She is the best friend of the main character, Annie Wilson.
Naomi Clark, a student of West Beverly Hills High, is a privileged, ambitious girl who although comes across as a snobby air head, is really sensitive at heart. Her first on-screen birthday coincides with the birth of the series, and several of her relationships throughout this episode and the second provide an introduction to the many aspects of her. Conversely, she also reveals a deep capacity for love and commitment, which is demonstrated through her longtime relationship with high school hottie Ethan Ward. The seem to be the couple that rules the school and she comes off as the girl stopping the relationship between Annie and Ethan. At first she doesn't seem like much of an important character but as the time goes by she becomes extremely important to the show. Having grown up privileged, Naomi basks in the high life and enjoys social prominence sometimes to a fault. This is initially displayed through her estrangement with former friend Silver, a bond that was changed by a power-driven mistake on Naomi's part. Portrayed as an underachiever in school, Naomi attempted to plagiarize one of Annie's old papers early on in the series. Upon being caught, she found herself growing weary of and even offended by the excuses that her parents often made on her behalf. Wanting to prove her potential, she opted to do the assignment herself. Naomi is also shown to be a good help with Ethan's autistic brother, as he responds well to her friendliness. Additionally, she is an exceptional speaker of Spanish.
Early on in the series, Erin Silver claimed that she and Naomi had once been best friends. However, Silver also stated that things had changed when Naomi betrayed her trust by revealing a secret. According to Silver, Naomi places great value on being admired for her knowledge and holding social power around school. At her 16th birthday party, Naomi discovered that her boyfriend Ethan cheated on her. After a series of talks in the following days and an incident in which she had a fling of her own the relationship ended following a calm discussion in which Ethan decided that they were better off apart. Naomi is the daughter of Tracy and Charles and has a sister named Jen, who is said to be off at college when the series begins. In the third episode, Naomi becomes highly distraught after discovering that her father was having an affair. After being comforted by Ethan, she later went home to quietly lay next to Tracy as she slept. The next morning, Naomi regretfully reported the affair to her mother, and was stunned to learn that she already knew of it. Tracy identified the other woman as Gail, and explained that Gail and Charles had been seeing each other on an occasional basis for two years. Not wanting to separate the family, or lose her life of luxury, Tracy had chosen to tolerate Charles's relationship with Gail. When word of her family's troubles reached Silver, Naomi feared that Silver would retaliate against her by posting the information on her blog. Amidst her ongoing trauma, she began turning to Ethan for comfort, stating that it simply felt nice to talk to him. After tracking down and confronting Gail, Naomi soon learned that Charles intended to move her into the family's beach house, and revealed this to her mother. Upon realizing that Charles's interest in Gail was greater than she'd thought, Tracy began to grow less content with the matter. Finally wanting a change, she eventually decided that the time had come to divorce Charles. After informing her daughter of this, Tracy took Naomi in her arms and stated that she loved her.
Silver later told Naomi that she wouldn't blog about her family's problems, which appeared to lessen the tension between the girls. After receiving continued support from Ethan, and watching an old video of them together, Naomi informed him that she wanted to at least rebuild their friendship. Ethan responded positively, and the two soon shared a kiss. In time, Naomi's anxiety regarding her parents eventually led her to ask Ethan if he still loved her. Ethan hesitated while responding, and the two were soon interrupted by her mother. Later, an attempt on Naomi's part to save her parents' relationship failed. This led her to recall the earlier moment between she and Ethan, which prompted the couple to once again go their separate ways following a brief discussion about their feelings. In the days to follow, however, Naomi retained a playful interest in Ethan, particularly after seeing him spending time with Annie.
Naomi made a significant effort to sway her friend Adrianna from drug use, repeatedly expressing how much she cared for her. When police officers searched West Beverly for drugs, Adrianna quickly panicked while fearing the many consequences. Naomi chose to intervene by taking drugs from Adrianna's possession. This led to Naomi being briefly arrested and facing a number of charges. Adrianna eventually agreed to come forth, but later turned back to her addiction and overdosed before she could do so. Following Naomi's release, her parents took it upon themselves to try lessening the charges their daughter faced. Eventually, the charges were essentially dropped, and Naomi was given after-school detention for the semester. Though Naomi was relieved to learn of Adrianna's recovery, she became increasingly distant from her afterwards. When Adrianna forced a confrontation, Naomi admitted that she still cared about her, but stated that the relationship had become too stressful to continue. As Naomi and Annie grew closer, Naomi revealed that she was beginning to value the friendship. However, she also admitted that Annie's growing closeness to Ethan was likely to make things awkward. As the two discussed the finer points of friendship, Annie suggested that Naomi give Adrianna another chance. Though Naomi was reluctant, she eventually followed the advice and reconciled with her old friend.
Naomi soon learned that her mother had given birth to a son during her teenage years, and that the father was West Beverly Principal Harry, Annie's dad. She and Annie would later discuss this. Though both found the situation odd, it initially had little impact on their friendship. However, after seeing Annie kissing Ethan later, Naomi became highly resentful. To retaliate, she lured Annie's old boyfriend Jason to town, and made out with him at Annie's birthday party. The girls then had a private confrontation. Naomi, citing her growing frustration with the many betrayals and surprises in her life, was unrepentant for her actions. Angered, Annie revealed that she had intended to tell Naomi about Ethan, but had been waiting for the right time. Both declared that their friendship was over. In the midst of the argument, however, they were interrupted by the arrival of Sean Cavanaugh, a young man *claiming* to be the son of Harry and Tracy. Naomi, alongside Annie, was briefly counseled by Kelly Taylor, West Beverly's guidance counselor.
Following Sean's brief stay and sudden departure, the Wilson's, Naomi, and a reluctant Tracy eventually concluded that he was not who he'd *claimed* to be, but someone who'd intended to scam them. It was also revealed that the Clarks had given him some of their money. Afterward, Naomi maintained a degree of antipathy toward Annie, who proposed an accord. In the coming days, Naomi discovered that her mother had taken an indefinite leave of town, while her father had decided to sell the house. She then moved into the family's beach home, and soon learned that Charles had become involved with yet another woman. After discovering that Adrianna was pregnant, she offered full support to her friend. Later, Naomi informed her father that she was moving out of the beach house and staying at a hotel for the time being. While at the hotel, Naomi entered a mutually flirtatious relationship with a bartender named Liam. She was also surprised by a visit from Silver, who sought her help with hotel and dinner reservations. While using her connections to assist her old friend, Naomi acknowledged that she enjoyed bonding with Erin again, and Silver expressed the same. Upon seeing Liam in one of her classes, Naomi learned that he was actually a student at West Beverly who'd been attempting to dodge school. She also learned that she'd accidentally tipped his parents off to this by sending him a gift. She is shown having a huge crush on Liam and wants him to be her boyfriend.
Naomi had a dream in which she made out with Liam after apologizing. At school, she offered to tutor him when a teacher requested a volunteer after sensing his resentment. later, Naomi apologized for what had happened with his parents, asking if they could start over. When the two actually sat down to study, however, it became clear that he was smarter than he'd let on. During a drive in his car, Liam explained that he'd largely been dodging school because he'd become bored with it. Later that night, Naomi learned that Liam was involved in street racing. He then offered to call her a cab, but she declined, and rode along with him during a race. Afterward, Liam fought off a fellow racer who'd made unwelcome advances toward Naomi. The two then drove off, and ended the night by kissing before going their separate ways. When Silver went missing later that evening, Naomi helped Ethan and Annie search for clues inside West Beverly. While she and Annie searched through Silver's locker, friendly feelings emerged once again between the two girls.
After learning that Ethan and Annie had broken up, and that Silver had been safely found, Naomi chose to bury her ill feelings towards Annie and start their friendship over again. Naomi participated in a Habitat for Humanity project upon learning that Liam would be involved. She then asked Ethan to question Liam about his interest in her. This drew the guys into an initial state of hostility, but eventually led them to bond unexpectedly. Throughout the project, Naomi and Liam flirted and made out. In the days that followed, Naomi became confused when Liam seemed rather distant, despite their physical relationship. When Charles was faced with a lawsuit, he forced Naomi to leave the hotel for the sake of appearances. Not wanting to live with Charles and Gail, Naomi accepted Annie's offer to move in with her and her family.
Later, Naomi and Liam had a double date with Annie and Liam's cousin. During this meeting, Liam asked Annie out in private, prompting her to quietly decline the invitation. When Naomi confronted him regarding this, Liam stated that he wasn't interested in steady relationships. However, she chose to maintain an interest in him as she walked away. She later moved out of the Wilson home when her sister Jen made an unexpected return to Beverly Hills. Naomi gained access to her inheritance after Jen pressured Charles.
The sisters then decided to buy a home together. Due to Jen's secret misfortunes, however, Naomi, unexpectedly, wound up paying for several of the expenses on her own. She eventually confronted Jen regarding this, and became sympathetic upon learning of her sister's difficulties. Naomi attended the West Beverly Prom with Liam. At the event, Naomi was voted one of West Beverly's five most beautiful girls.
When Silver declined the title of Prom Queen, which she'd won under suspicious circumstances, Naomi crowned herself. Later, she became upset upon learning that Liam had mainly invited her because his stepfather wanted him to become more outgoing. However, she soon discovered that his feelings for her were deeper than she'd suspected. The two then had a private dance on the street before briefly separating. Jen became resentful when Naomi claimed control of the house and threw an after-prom party. Liam, who'd asked Naomi to keep their personal discussions private, was unaware that she'd already revealed things about him to Jen.
Upon discovering this, he followed Jen to bed, where the two acted on their mutual spite for Naomi. Upon finding Liam half-naked, Naomi left the room after declaring their relationship over. Liam then became remorseful when Jen identified herself as Naomi's sister. She finds Annie's wrap in the bedroom where Liam was found, but the wrap had just been used as a coverup. Believing Annie to be the other girl, Naomi chastised her out in the open. This prompted Annie to leave the party while reporting the underage drinking to the police. Later, Naomi was comforted by Jen. The party came to an end, however, when police officers arrived on the scene.
At the beginning of the second season we see Naomi and a mystery man making out at a beach in a dreamy sequence. Soon, Silver wakes her up, showing that it was just a dream. It is shown that Adrianna, Naomi, and Silver had become best friends and they all go to a new found place called the Beach Club where Naomi tells the girls that she has been 'dating' an older man whom she was daydreaming about. Soon we see the man with his wife and his kids and Naomi seems distraught and abandoned. She is extremely sad and tells the girls that she has to meet someone new to get over him. The three girls go to the tennis courts where we see a new hunky tennis player named [1]Teddy and she starts flirting with him, but then it is sadly revealed that Teddy and Adrianna are exes but are still very good friends. Naomi admits that she can't date her best friend's ex and she sadly walks away. Soon Naomi gets a naked picture of Annie through a boy named Mark, who almost slept with Annie. Naomi comes up with a plan to send out the picture to everyone at school to get payback at Annie for Annie 'sleeping' with Liam, which Annie never did. Soon, Naomi starts thinking about it and isn't sure if she wants to send out the picture, but her older sister, Jen, who slept with Liam, tells Naomi that Annie ruined Naomi's life and that she deserved it, so she sends out the picture, getting Annie bullied and called a 'slut'
The next day Teddy invites everyone to a party where Mark tells Silver that Naomi was the one send the picture. Later, Annie approaches Naomi and tells her that she and Liam were hooking up the entire time they were together. She even tells her they were laughing at her behind her back. Annie, to get back at Naomi, tells her that everyone that loves Naomi ends up loving her more. Ethan, Liam... This comment gets to Naomi, and she walks away defeated.

Although I cant seem to do actual polls on this forum, you can still post and give your thoughts.
Should "one billion" be equal to a "one thousand million" (1,000,000,000) or "one million million"(1,000,000,000,000)
I believe in the billion = "one million million" rule
and trillion = "one billion billion"
quadillion = "one trillion trillion"
In US:-
1,000,000 = One Million
1,000,000,000 = One Billion
1,000,000,000,000 = One Trillion and so on.
In UK,
1,000,000 = One Million
1,000,000,000,000 = One Billion
1,000,000,000,000,000,000 = One Trillion

Moving along....
The correct term for a thousand million is a milliard.
However, this has never actually caught on for reasons that are beyond me.
The "American" system seems to have become standard.
Not only is it easier for people who are less mathematically inclined to use,
it also makes profits sound bigger. ;-)
Although they are usually referred to as the American and British numeration systems,
both were actually invented by the French.
I, for one, believe that it should only advance to the higher "term" when it becomes
necessary to repeat a particular term twice in a row.
That is:
100,000 = One hundred thousand
1,000,000 = One thousand thousand = One million
1,000,000,000 = One thousand million
1,000,000,000,000 = One million million = One Billion
10 ^ 100 = Ten thousand quintillion
No, 10^100 = Gogool
10^33 = Decillion
10^63 = Vigintillion
10^303 = Centillion
10^Gogool = Gogoolplex.

Whenever ganesh said gogool, he meant googol.
10^googolplex = googolplexian
I believe that 1 million is 10^6, 1 billion is 10^12, 1 trillion is 10^18 and so on, adding another 6 to the power for every 'illion' level. So I would say ganesh's non-googoly numbers were 10^60, 10^120 and 10^600.
S@m and martian's system would involve lots of long numbers, such as 1 million billion trillion quadrillion etc. whereas in the generally accepted system the maximum you would have to say is 1 hundred thousand ...illion.

Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
Add six...pschaw. Add three!
10^6 = million
10^9 = billion
10^12 = trillion
Why, you say? Because it fits with the SI system's tendency to add 10^3 to its incremental units. And it's easier to say that a "Gigawatt" is a billion watts than it is to call it a thousand million (which doesn't quite make sense).
Or it could be because I'm American, and refuse to say "colour".
El que pega primero pega dos veces.
The UK system is easier because to find out what power of 10 it is, you just multiply the ...illion prefix by 6. Also, with the US one you run out of numbers quicker. 10^600 is a centillion in UK, but the US system would have to call it an octillion decillion vigintillion vigintillion vigintillion vigintillion centillion, or something.
Also, why does everyone keep saying pschaw?

Thats why I prefer the UK system.
However. I looks like my dreams of making the UK system the universal system is dimishing. The US system is becoming more and more universal. If theres one good point about the US system. It doesn't take a long time to say some of the bigger numbers which dont exacty fall on a nice "power of 6" or somthing.
The UK system is easier because to find out what power of 10 it is, you just multiply the ...illion prefix by 6.
"I don't know what that means...but you still smell like pea soup..."
(The pea soup thing's not an insult, it's a culture reference. And I don't know what it means. )
El que pega primero pega dos veces.
Pea Soup ... ? How about fhqwhgads!
I think that the internationally accepted version is by 10^3
10^6 = million
10^9 = billion
etceteretera ...

I use the variations that MathsIsFun said. Now, etceteretera... nice word, Rod.

Cardinals are USCAA Div. II Champs
Top HeadlinesDate: March 9, 2011
Contact: email@example.com
The Andrews University Men's Cardinal Basketball team made history Saturday night, March 5, when they upset the University of Cincinnati Clermont in what many would call a "David vs. Goliath" victory. The Cardinals were competing in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) Men's Division II Championship and "knew we had our hands full," says David Jardine, head coach. The Cardinals started off with an 8-0 run and never trailed, defeating UC-Clermont 69-54.
The USCAA tournament took place on the campus of Penn State Fayette University in Uniontown, Pa., March 1–5. Only the top eight USCAA Men's Division II teams from across the nation were invited to the event. This is the second year that the Cardinals have participated in the tournament and the first year they've made it to the finals.
The Cardinals played their first tournament game on Wednesday and defeated #4 ranked Berkeley College 62-61. Ryan Little, senior guard, sent the game into overtime with a last-second 3-pointer despite the Cardinal's 7-point deficit with 2 minutes left in regulation. In the final seconds of overtime, Tyler Wooldridge, freshman guard, sank another crucial 3-pointer to put the Cardinals one point ahead, sealing the deal for a Cardinal spot in the semifinals. On Friday morning, the team faced off against #8 ranked Penn State Beaver College and won 61-51.
Following their second victory, the Cardinals advanced to the championship game where they would face off against UC-Clermont, ranked #2 in the nation. UC-Clermont had defeated other teams by as many as 33 points earlier in the week. They were favored to win the championship game against Andrews by some 20 points.
"We went into the locker room before the UC-Clermont game and knew that all the pressure was on the other team. No one really gave us a chance to win. We just knew that we had to play a great game, and everybody had to play to the best of their abilities and play together," says Jardine. "We [the coaching staff] told the guys that if they could hold UC-Clermont to less than 60 points and out-rebound them, we were going to win. Our guys did both of those things."
Andrews led by as many as 21 points during the championship game and never trailed. Freshman starters Tyler Wooldridge and Matt Little each scored 16 points with Tyler dishing out 4 assists and Matt grabbing 10 rebounds. Ryan Little scored 19 points in the game, leading Andrews to their first-ever USCAA Men's Division II National Championship.
The tournament held a special distinction for two members of the team. Tyler Wooldridge was named a member of the Men's Division II All-Tournament Team. Ryan Little was named a USCAA All-American and Tournament MVP.
"This being my last game, it was exciting to go out with a win," says Ryan. "... This season has kind of been a dream come true for me. I couldn't have asked for a better year and a better group of teammates. I think after the game, I just realized that this year has been a blessing and an amazing experience, and it couldn't have ended any other way."
Even more impressive than the Cardinals' winning streak and talent was their Christian example to the other teams. The Cardinals' Friday night and Saturday morning games were rescheduled by the USCAA "in order to accommodate for Andrews University, a Seventh-day Adventist member…" as stated on the USCAA website.
Though the Cardinals are losing senior starters Ryan Little and Thomas Jardine, the team is already shaping up for next season. Players from various academies who participate in the annual Cardinal Classic have been recruited, and the coaches expect another successful season building on this year's accomplishments.
The 2010–2011 Men's Cardinal Basketball Team members are: Clifford Allen, Joshua Faehner, Alec Friedrich, Brandon Garrett, Jason Garrett, Charis Goulding, Ronaldo Green, Thomas Jardine, Matthew Little, Ryan Little, Jerome Murray, Junior Orelus, Ben Weakley and Tyler Wooldridge.
