I am glad to see that the number of positive comments about this race. I made comments last year after the race that this was the best value-for-money race. I am glad to see that runners agree with me now. I really cannot understand why runners go to races like Chicago, NYC, Disney, etc, and pay $100 and get almost nothing - a cheap t-shirt and stale food. Buffalo gives you REAL value for your money!!! Does the average runner really care about these so-called elite runners and the money that is being spent on them??? I have done a lot of marathons and my advice to ALL runners is to go to Buffalo Marathon if you want real value.
Thank you, Buffalo, for hosting such a great marathon. The weather was beautiful amidst 3 days of rain. The course was flat and well laid out. With the exception of a few crossing points in the course, I was impressed with the scenic roads and nice shady trees. What a way to see Buffalo. Anyone considering a spring marathon, come to Buffalo! This was my first full marathon and the Nissan 2003 made it all worthwhile. Great course with a good amount of water stops and porto-johns! The run in the cemetery on Memorial Day weekend was inspiring. Also if Bill Gleason is reading (running partner for the second half of the race), I owe you a beer. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com!
I can recommend this marathon. I have done a few others (NYC, Vermont, Vancouver) and this one compares well. The course is flat and scenic, and the water stops were well staffed. I had some trouble with the lack of shade the last 7 miles as it warmed up, but there was a nice breeze that helped. One downside is that there are a fair number of turns in the second half of the race.
This was the smallest marathon I've ever run (which I liked very much) and the things that impressed me the most were the spectators and the volunteers. They were all along the course, clapping and cheering for everyone. I had read about bad traffic control in previous years, but it was certainly taken care of this year. There were plenty of water stations. The plastic cups at the earlier stations made it a little hard to drink, and I'm not a big fan of RED powerade (that red on our shirts has got to convince some spectators that we're dying and that they should never run a marathon). But these were minor problems. The weather was close to perfect and the pasta dinner was excellent. The course had just enough ups and downs to make it interesting. My husband ran the 1/2 marathon and really appreciated having the mile markers for their race. That doesn't always happen when a 1/2 is part of a full marathon. All in all, a wonderful race. I thought I might just run it once, but I'm now seriously thinking about coming back and running it again next year.
This was my 6th Buffalo Marathon in a row. I can honestly say that after last year's disappointment, John B. and his crew really 'slam-dunked' it this year. It was by far the most beautiful course I have ever run in Buffalo. The traffic control was great, the volunteers were fantastic, and the party was excellent. John and his people have encouraged me to keep my streak alive and come back yet another year to do Buffalo. Thanks John. It was a real treat this year. 5 stars!!! - Rick Ruth, Williamsville
Very well organized this year. Volunteers did an excellent job. Course, spectators, weather, and aid stations were all very nice. My only 'complaints' are that the post-race party was too far away, and the website could be better. Thanks, Buffalo!
Nice job Buffalo, and nice job John. This was my 8th marathon and for what you got for the money, it can't be beat. I was fortunate to run some of the miles with a runner (Al from Buffalo) who gave me historical insight in to the sights. This was truly appreciated, and for me was my marathon moment. The course was flat as advertised (no big rollers). The weather was a ten: some sun, shade, and a nice breeze. If you want fans, go to Disney or NYC. If you want a nice friendly course, easy access to the start and finish of the marathon from the host hotel, great marathon organization, and value for your money, go to Buffalo.
This was my 97th marathon, and it was one of my most enjoyable. The course is flat and scenic, running through a beautiful cemetery, park, and suburban neighborhoods - all with ample water stops . The volunteers were great, traffic control was excellent, and going by Niagra Square and City Hall just before the finish was really nice. For a $30 entry fee, you get an all you can eat pasta dinner, long sleeve t-shirt, nice finisher's medal, excellent post-race party with more food and beer, and a chance to run a very well organized marathon - thanks to a great bunch of volunteers that made this race possible. This is 'The-Most-Bang-For-Your-Buck-North-American Marathon'.
The 1/2 was well organized and the course was excellent. One small hill at 10.5 but the last 2 are essentially downhill or flat. Quiet but courteous spectators and no traffic issues on my run. Only improvement would be to have the post-race party closer to the finish. Nice job John (and all the volunteers)!!!
With today's $75.00+ entry fees, the Nissan Buffalo Marathon is not only a bargain, but a race that does a lot of things well... nice flat course, free pasta dinner, accommodating and convenient host hotel, numerous aid stations, and great traffic control.

With adding hard colors to the walls, you can make a room that's both relaxing and excitatory. Guess a broken blue for a affect of peace or a bold red for gracefulness and heat. Each color offers shades that will nerve weary guests at dawn.

P2 Theme by http://automattic.com/ does that and it is a wordpress theme.
It has been running on my blog ( otsotm.com ) for couple months now.
As soon has i post something, i see the post pop on the other main page of my blog i had open.
To fix the Facebook connector should be relatively easy - that and AjaxedWP are most likely defining the same variable so causing issues.
The removing of #awp would most easily be done by using mod re-write rules of Apache which you can set through .htaccess
For the shuffle/random to work, you will probably have to define random with a JS random number generator.
As for the others, I am by no means an expert in ajax (and have never used that plugin) but...
You should be able to define how long the slides takes and height offsets as the whole plugin is using the MooTools framework and there are a bunch of examples over at http://mootools.net/ to look at.

I couldn't find the exact tea called for in the recipe, so subbed a Ginger Lemon tea. It turned out very well, although next time I make it I will use a low-sugar Pectin. This jelly is beautiful and set up well, but is VERY sweet as written. Still, packaged in 4 oz jelly jars it is a very cute addition to my homemade holiday gifts this year.

The simplest kill command is C-k. If given at the beginning of a line, it kills all the text on the line1, leaving it blank. When used on a blank line, it kills the whole line including its newline.
More precisely, C-k kills from point up to the end of the line, unless it is at the end of a line. In that case it kills the newline following point, thus merging the next line into the current one. Spaces and tabs at the end of the line are ignored when deciding which case applies, so as long as point is after the last visible character in the line, you can be sure that C-k will kill the newline. To kill an entire non-blank line, go to the beginning and type C-k twice.
When C-k is given a positive argument n, it kills n lines and the newlines that follow them (text on the current line before point is not killed). With a negative argument −n, it kills n lines preceding the current line, together with the text on the current line before point. C-k with an argument of zero kills the text before point on the current line.
If the variable kill-whole-line
is non-nil
, C-k at
the very beginning of a line kills the entire line including the
following newline. This variable is normally nil
C-S-backspace (kill-whole-line
) will kill a whole line
including its newline regardless of the position of point within the
line. Note that many character terminals will prevent you from typing
the key sequence C-S-backspace.
[1] Here, "line" means a logical text line, not a screen line. See Continuation Lines.

There are little papers that you can buy that counteract the oxidation. The plastic wouldn't be the problem unless it is trapping moisture. Humidity, perfumes, creames - all these things lead to increased oxidation, but it will happen over time anyways. To clean just use a mixture of baking soda and water.

Edie Falco is my favorite actor right now, and like I said to Lorena, I would've bought full-price tickets to see her in a musical about the rise and fall of the Cabbage Patch doll. My expectations were high, and she most definitely delivered, and Alison Pill blew my mind with her mesmerizing performance. Talk about actors having total commitment to a roles! This writer exercised an enormous amount of restraint, and was able to let the actors (and therefore the audience) grapple with the complexities in the story, which included how being incarcerated changes a person--how someone who has been locked up is decidedly different from those who have not.
Yesterday I saw, along with Mark, the host of The Douglass Street Lab, the new exhibition at
Neuenschwander's show edged on sentimentality without succumbing to it. So often, for me, contemporary art, especially Conceptualism, requires at least a minimum amount of contextualization, and more often than not, it engages my intellect and curiosity more than the squishier parts of my humanity. Sure, I read the placards and was interested to see when in chronological order each of the pieces were made, but the show itself made its mark on me emotionally. One installation consisted of a wall of pencil sketches of faces drawn by an police sketch artist who listened to volunteers who described their first love.A couple of the many questions it left me grappling with: How can emotion be translated into language into image? (Think about it: usually a police or forensic sketch is something made to catch a criminal or to identify a corpse. How would the same sketch appear differently if the murderer or murdered been described by the person who claimed him as his first love?) How does memory filter and change an image over time?
Last night I went to the film "Io Sono Amore" or
If these things sound interesting to you, perhaps you're a good fit for The Lab. You don't need to be a writer or to have ambitions to be a writer to take The Lab. If you're a word nerd--and interested in writing into the kinds of questions I've described, maybe you should try something new and sign up!

Lotsa stuff to look at, but:
1) Part of the fall in many of the goalies mentioned above was the change in the rules that limited their equipment. They can't wear a house for a chest protector or a pair of king size matresses anymore. Its back to positioning, reflexes, and agility.
2) Part of the problem with AM was that he treated his players like teenagers and not men. Do you think that Crawford is going to make them write a paper during training camp?
3) Our new super scrub will be Richard Park.
4) He will get the best out of his top scorers because he will play them as much as he can. They will be allowed to create, not forced into playing the system.
5) His 3rd line will be a true stopper line. They will be veterans with character.
6) His 4th line will be filled with Penalty Killers and a thug.
at the draft party a couple of years ago, and under a considerable haze, i heard Birdman yell out the following (about 4 or 5 times, i think) - "don't marry yourselves to players!" he went on to reiterate that idea more than once on the boards, and i believe it to be absolutely sage.

It's easy to confuse the 1996 Avs with future teams since it was now 10 years ago. I even had a hard time remembering that the Avs actually won a Cup prior to Drury, Hejduk, Tanguay, Blake, Bourque, etc. So let's review the facts..Originally Posted by Rocket
1. Prior to Crawford taking over the Nordiques, they had missed the playoffs in 6 of the last 7 years. The one year that they made it they were out in the first round after putting up 104 points. The year before he was hired they had just 76 points.
2. The first year that Crawford was the coach, the Nordiques had 65 points in the lockout shortened year (48 games) but again went out in the first round.
3. In 1995 the Nordiques moved to Colorado and became the Avs, which could have/should have been a distraction to a young team that could have had trouble adjusting to playing in a new city/country.
4. Patrick Roy was acquired in during the season. Aside from Roy, the key players on the 1995-96 Avs were:
* Joe Sakic - former 1st round pick in 87 who many thought could not carry a team based on past failures. In seven seasons (including Crawford's 1st year) the Nordiques had only made the playoffs twice and won a total of ZERO rounds. At one point Sakic was rumored to be traded to Toronto. Much like Joe Thornton, Sakic was not considered to be a leader or a winner.
* Peter Forsberg - at age 21 he was now in his second season. He put up just over a point a game in his rookie year, playing under Crawford.
* Valeri Kamensky - an injury prone 29-year old winger who was coming off a 10-goal year in the shortened season. He had only 2 points in 8 career playoff games.
* Claude Lemieux - the ultimate pest and a true winner. At age 30 his offensive skills seemed to be on the decline - in his final four seasons in New Jersey he went from 41 to 30 to 18 to 6 goals. This was his first year in Colorado.
* Scott Young - a useful winger who was by no means a star. He had already played for Hartford and Pittsburgh and he went on to play with Anaheim, St. Louis, Dallas and St. Louis (again). You could call him a journeyman.
* Adam Deadmarsh - had put up 9 goals and 17 points in his rookie year playing under Crawford. He was now in his second year.
* Sandis Ozolinsch - acquired early in the year for Owen Nolan. Ozolinsch was a talented but erratic defenceman who had put up 26 goals and 64 points in his second year but followed it up with just 9 goals and 25 points in the shortened season and started the next year with 1 goal and 4 points in 7 games before being traded to Colorado. After five years in Colorado he would go on to play for Carolina, Florida, Anaheim and New York.
Supporting Cast - Forwards
* Chris Simon - a young enforcer with 82 NHL games of experience
* Stephane Yelle - a 21-year old rookie center
* Mike Keane - veteran leader acquired with Roy
* Mike Ricci - a grinder with some skill who was part of the Lindros trade
* Troy Murray - 33-year old grinder at the end of his career. The long-time Hawk (he had three stints there) also played on Winnipeg, Ottawa and Pittsburgh
* Dave Hannan - much like Murray was a veteran winger at the end of his career. Hannan was acquired at the deadline.
* Rene Corbet - another rookie
* Warren Rychel - veteran enforcer
Supporting Cast: Defence
* Craig Wolanin - a veteran who had played just 127 games over the past three seasons.
* Alexei Gusarov - 31-year old Russian who played just 14 games the year before
* Curtis Leschyshyn - Long-time Nordique with all of 9 playoff games under his belt
* Adam Foote - 24-year old defenceman with about 200 games of experience in his first four games
* Sylvain Lefebvre - acquired from Toronto in the Clark/Sundin trade. He was known as a very good defensive d-man.
* Jon Klemm - 25-year old rookie d-man who had spent the past four years in the AHL.
* Uwe Krupp - the former Sabre and Islander, Krupp was a huge presence who was often hurt (and would only play 6 games in the regular season)
My point? This was a VERY young and VERY inexperienced team except for a few veteran role players (plus Roy and Lemieux). They didn't have much scoring depth and definitely didn't have a great defence (at least not as individuals).
Yes they had Sakic and Forsberg but Sakic wasn't Sakic as we know him before playing for Crawford and Forsberg was just starting his career.
5. In the Conference Finals the Avs beat a Detroit team that had 131 points. This was a team that featured:
Yzerman, Fedorov, Kozlov, Larionov, Primeau, Ciccarelli up front and Coffey, Lidstrom, Fetisov, Konstantinov on D (and of course Scott Bowman behind the bench).
This was probably THE best Red Wings team and maybe the best team in recent times. They went 62-13-7 (.799 winning percentage). By comparison they put up 7 more points than the team this year that played Columbus, Chicago and St. Louis 8 times each and received points for OTL/Shootout losses. This team had 37 more points than the Wings team that would win the Cup the next year.
6. In the Cup finals the Avs swept Florida and outscored them 15-4. Florida was coming off series wins of Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Boston. Pittsburgh and Philly were second and fourth overall respectively.
One could probably make an argument that leading the 95-96 Avs to the Stanley Cup was one of the best coaching jobs in recent hockey history.
If you look back through the list (http://www.nhl.com/hockeyu/history/cup/champs.html) this was one of THE most unlikely Cup wins you can find, especially considering how young and inexperienced the Avs were and how deep and powerful that Detroit team was.
Usually you need to have some playoff success/disappointments before you can win a Cup but we're talking about a team that hadn't won a round in 8 seasons (and only made the playoffs twice) winning the whole thing which in hindsight is extremely impressive.
You mean Toskala or Garon? I wouldn't say Toskala "flops" too much because to me "flopping" is about ending up prone on the ice and I don't see that as much as him just going down too quickly. If you mean Garon, I honestly don't have enough of a read on him yet. He played great for a while and players made adjustments then he made adjustments and now it's up to the players to make adjustments. Until I see how Garon adjusts to the adjustment adjustments that he adjusted to, I won't really know. The difference between them is that I think Toskala pretty much is what he is and won't change that much.Originally Posted by King'sPawn
Hmmm...didn't Ohlund lead the D in goals with 13 and play 78 games? With Jovo's relative decline, I think it's safe to say Ohlund was in their top 3 and good enough to be one of their top two PP QB's (either way I think it's quibbling to imply they didn't have a PP QB since they had Ohlund). I'm not sure who the third injured top 3 Dman is.Originally Posted by Goallum
But the answer is no...well, a qualified no. 11th is respectable, but if you were a Vancouver fan and they'd had Salo, Jovo and Ohlund in the lineup with Naslund, Morrison, Bertuzzi, the Sedins and Carter...would you think having the 11th best PP is a "success"? I wouldn't. Even with "only" Naslund, Morrison, Bertuzzi, the Sedins, Carter, Ohlund and Baumgartner (with a forward on the point plenty of time), is 11th really a "success"? As a Kings fan, I would be disappointed with that.
Then we see things differently. Toskala didn't rip the #1 job from Nabokov. If his .901 save% gets you giddy, then great. Nabokov sucked his way into the #2 job. Yes, Toskala got better (it's not hard to when he started off letting in 1 out of every 6 or 7 shots), but then in the playoffs his weaknesses were exposed. And if you think 37 games proves he has "stamina" then you and I have different definitions of the word stamina.Originally Posted by Die Radio Die
I'll go back and watch the games against the Oilers if you watch the goals that were scored. Particularly in games 6 and 7 when the chips were down. Those were some of the weakest goals in this year's playoffs. It doesn't matter how many good saves a goalie makes, it's the softies that kill you.
Toskala is the epitomy of an older goalie who steps in for a veteran and gets hot...and then gets figured out. Garon may or may not be a #1 in the NHL (I think it's funny that you think you have him all figured out...I sure don't), but Toskala will not be a #1 on a playoff team. The big difference between Garon and Toskala is that Toskala has had TWO seasons to take the job from Nabokov (when Nabokov sucked) and couldn't do it. Garon has had ONE season and didn't. He may or may not take the #1 job, but IMO it's one season to early to give up on him. If there was a way to make a bet on this, I'd make it. I'll tell you what, you see if there's a way to ask DL if he would trade Garon for Toskala and see what he says.
Yeah, but LOTS of goalies fell long before the rules changes. Jim Carey and Jose Theodore to name a couple.Originally Posted by Birdman
YEAH!! Damn those system-playing coaches like Randy Carlyle, Peter Laviolette and Lindy Ruff. THEY SUCK and so do their teams!!4) He will get the best out of his top scorers because he will play them as much as he can. They will be allowed to create, not forced into playing the system.
How can you call Toskala an "older" goalie when he's ONE year older than Garon? I think we've seen exactly what Garon is and will be, inconsistent. Last season in the AHL he started off amazingly well and faded while playing 52 regular season games and 6 playoff games. This season he played 63 games and he was clearly getting tired before the Olympic break. What's going to happen next season when there isn't a 3 week break in February? Have you ever heard of a playering gaining stamina after the age of 28? I personally haven't.Originally Posted by jt
Curious, you said Toskala had two season to take the job from Nabakov yet you claim he didn't. Maybe you missed it but Toskala did EXACTLY that. He was the starting goalie the final two months of the season for the Sharks including starting every playoff game the team was involved in. I've heard numerous interviews involving Sharks players calling Toskala the number 3 reason behind Thornton and Cheechoo as to why the Sharks ended up in the playoffs. Now, do I see Toskala as the Opening Night goalie for the Sharks next season? No. Why? Nabokov makes 5.5 million dollars next year. You can't trade him and you can't sit him.
And I would love to ask DL his thoughts on Toskala vs. Garon. I don't see why DL would stick with Garon. Garon was a DT project. I wouldn't be surprised if DL projects him to be a backup next year. Which is where he would excel the most IMO.
I think probably the most interesting move Lombardi will make this summer will be in goal. This was one of the first positions aggressively addressed when he came to San Jose and based on this past season it's tough to get a read on whether Garon can be a legit #1. I'd like to think the answer is yes but I'm not completely sold..
We may get some clue by the type of deal he gives Garon, an RFA.Originally Posted by dizzyd
Agreed. At this point I doubt it's more than a one-year deal. There will be a ton of roster changes and pretty much everyone else will be auditioning for a long-term role with this franchise.
I keep coming back to Luongo and if there is any chance of him leaving Florida I could see it as the perfect move for this franchise, especially given Lombardi's history focusing on goaltending and Crawford's history with Roy.

Jett Rucker of the Committee on Open Debate on the Holocaust (CODOH) is Carolyn's guest for a discussion of whether our traditional Holocaust Revisionism is too tame for the increasingly dangerous times in which we live.
To unquestioningly accept the innocence of the Jews in their loss of civil rights in Germany, and in their deportation and eventual internment in concentration camps seems naive. To accept that the National Socialist government of Germany committed "crimes" against people that other nations did not and do not commit is short-sighted. Accepting the use of the word "Holocaust" to describe what was not anything of the sort is also foolish. The image shows what many people believe based on irresponsible Jewish propaganda. Should we refuse to use the word? These and more ideas are discussed and answered, including a confirmation that under a half-million Jews died in all German concentration camps from all causes.

Marysville company celebrates 100 years of success
To learn more about the company, including its history, go to www.frankbooth.com.
Abandoned and blighted buildings on nearby streets tell the story of a city left behind.
But the activity level in the block-long industrial compound of Frank M. Booth Inc. tells a far different tale.
Here, just across C Street from the Yuba County Library, sheets of galvanized steel get carved and folded up into ductwork for the new South County Justice Center in Porterville.
"Everything here will bite you, sting you or cut you," warns Larry Booth, the company's president, as he strides through a noisy, tight maze of workstations.
Booth, 58, grandson of founder Frank Martin Booth Sr., recently hosted the company's 100-year anniversary party here at its birthplace and headquarters.
What started as a tinning and plumbing business in 1912's still-booming post-Gold Rush Marysville never really stood still, in spite of its ongoing presence in this spot.
In recent years, the company has employed as many as 450 workers.
"Be forever alert to change and try to make it work for you," reads a memo from Frank M. Booth Jr. to Larry's older brother, Martin, in 1978.
The thoughtful, eight-point list of his business principles signaled the passing of the mantle to a third generation.
"Remember always, this is a difficult and cyclical business — never let yourself or your staff get complacent," reads another of the prescriptions.
The family ethic is serious business here on this block.
"You should have been here last week," Booth says proudly of the company's new pet project.
The venture had FMB Inc. building the state's first biogas fueling station. The technology, developed at UC Davis, digests organic food waste into a compressed form of natural gas.
"It's like a little factory in a box," says Larry Booth, who recently shipped off the first of what he hopes will be part of an ongoing enterprise to Sacramento.
The company behind this, Clean World Partners of Gold River, will operate the station.
Thinking Ahead
In another quadrant of Booth operations, a series of large hot water pump skids rules the landscape.
Plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems continue to represent much of the Booth company profile.
"We think it's dead sexy," says Larry Booth, who gets a laugh from a few workers within earshot. "But that's just us."
The company portfolio includes a diverse range of structures and projects, including hundreds of schools, hospitals, hotels, churches, jails and prisons.
Military contracts came into play during a few waves of infrastructure activity. One including a large re-investment close to home during the early 1950s when the Korean War made Camp Beale relevant again.
Titan missile silos — including one in the Sutter Buttes — used Booth contracts.
In the late 1970s, a large housing development project at Fort Ord near Monterey helped keep Larry Booth's father busy, and a solar energy project the Booths took on several years later on the base became the largest of its kind.
The Monterey Peninsula has been a regular hub of Booth activity. The company was responsible in large part for a 78,000-pound acrylic viewing window in the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Outer Bay. At the time of its installation in 1995, it was the largest window in the world.
"It's tricky," says Larry Booth of the engineering feats involved with working at the aquarium.
Investing in its roots
Tricky engineering and progressive thinking are at the root of the company's longevity, according to Larry Booth.
"We've always been open to, and embraced, new technologies and ways of doing things," he says.
Frank Sr. established that policy in 1938 when he got into the brand-new business of home air conditioning.
The company, "located in the hot Central Valley with its growing population, was in the right place at the right time to grow with this infant technology," reads a passage from an anniversary book about Frank M. Booth Inc. published in 1992.
Frank Jr. went straight into a role as a research engineer at Carrier Air Conditioning in New York state after graduating from Santa Clara University in 1940, a fact that no doubt helped his family's company grow with the industry in subsequent decades.
Along with the family's approach to engineering and business, Larry Booth says being part of the family enterprise has meant finding his own way to approach the founder's basic philosophies regarding community life.
Frank Sr. had been right in the mix. At various times he was a City Council member, mayor, Yuba County supervisor and a levee commissioner.
But in subsequent generations, the Booths have kept an increasingly lower profile their home turf.
When the Travelers Hotel building went up in flames next door a year ago, Booth made sure each of its suddenly homeless residents received a Walmart gift card that would help them get back on their feet.
The company makes quiet, sometimes anonymous, donations to community causes. Education is a favorite area for its charitable funding.
"You start tooting your horn, and pretty soon a train comes and runs you over," Larry Booth says.
The low-key approach is no doubt a product of the current fiscal and political climate of the region.
Booth Inc. had been at the forefront of unionized labor in Northern California, a fact that pushed the company toward the Bay Area to win contracts it could not get closer to home.
In a region that is increasingly anti-union and anti-government, Larry Booth says his way of looking at the world is pretty unpopular.
"In spite of all the bad press, California is still a pretty good place to work," he says. "A lot of people decry taxes. But the government's done a lot of nice things for us, thanks to taxpayers."
Among these, he counts environmental protection and subsidized college education as high on the list of blessings.
Educated, skilled workers are not always easy for his company to find locally, he says. It's a fact that he says reflects the priorities of the region.
"The blessed complain the most about taxes," he says. "They're not as community-minded as in the past."
Still, Booth Inc. is doubling down on Marysville.
The company has offices in Granite Bay and the Bay Area. But as its focus has increased on design-build projects, home is where it makes the most sense to do the manufacturing work, says Larry Booth.
At $70 million in gross revenue, the company is starting to work its way out of recession-level operations and back up to pre-2007 levels, he says.
The C Street complex currently employs 40 people.
"But we want to build more and more in the shop here, and less and less in the field," says Larry Booth.
That means the hometown force will likely expand.
"Of course, we expect to grow," he says. "We're not in the business of shrinking."

FOXBOROUGH (AP) - The New England Patriots say they are "deeply saddened" by the death of linebacker Junior Seau, who spent parts of the last four of his 20 NFL seasons with them.
Seau, 43, was found shot to death at his Oceanside, Calif., home Wednesday in what police said appeared to be suicide.
The Patriots said Seau's "unrivaled passion for the game quickly made him a fan favorite here in New England."
Seau spent most of his career with San Diego and also played for Miami. He came out of retirement to play 2006-2009 for New England.
He was with the Patriots when they ended their quest for a perfect 2007 season with a Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants. He had 76 tackles (55 solo) and 3.5 sacks, and a career-high three interceptions that season.
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady posted on Facebook that, "Junior Seau
was a great teammate and even better friend. His legacy will live on and
the memories of his time here with us will never be forgotten. We love
you 'buddy.'"
Patriots owner Bob Kraft released the following statement on Seau's death:
"Every day, Junior Seau greeted his teammates and coaches with an
energetic 'Hey, Buddy!' It was genuine, enthusiastic and backed by his
radiant smile. For four seasons, after every game he played, he would
always find me in the locker room just to give me a big hug and squeeze
tighter than anyone I remember. It was one of the many things I enjoyed
about him. He was passionate about football and always spoke with great
conviction. He may have been one of the most charismatic Patriots player
in franchise history. I loved listening to him when he addressed an
audience. I will never forget presenting him with his AFC Championship
ring at Seau's Restaurant in San Diego before our game against the
Chargers in 2008. It was a memorable moment shared by both Patriots and
Chargers fans, who that day celebrated pregame together as Junior Seau
fans. He was beloved in his hometown of San Diego and quickly became a
fan favorite in New England. Today, the fans of the teams for which
Junior played - San Diego, Miami and New England - lost more than a
legendary football player. We lost our 'Buddy.' My thoughts and prayers
are with his family and I extend my sincere condolences to his many
friends and former teammates."

Brand management is of paramount importance to any business seeking to enhance and benefit from the goodwill which attaches to its name and reputation. After all, your brand is what makes your business stand out from your competition.
Many businesses are under the misapprehension that they have a legal right to use their brand name or business name just because they have a company registered in that name or a domain name with that name. This is not always the case and proactive steps normally have to be taken to protect your rights fully. Please do not assume that you have legal protection, it is always recommended that you check your rights.
A common mistake we see is when IP rights are controlled solely by one director, employee or PR agency for businesses. What happens if you fall out? Sometimes businesses are held to ransom by former employees/ directors/ suppliers because IP rights are registered in the wrong name or controlled by the wrong person.
Successful brand management and protection ultimately results in brand loyalty within the market place. We advise all of our clients to take appropriate measures to ensure their approach to brand management is appropriate for the aims and objectives of their particular business.
Capital Law's IP experts specialise in brand management and are experienced in advising clients on the following:
- identifying key strategies for the successful management of your brand, within your budget

- development and protection of your Trademarks and domain names including brand names and logos
- exploiting your brand through the negotiation and drafting of:
- merchandising agreements
- assignments
- licenses
- franchise agreements
- sponsorship agreements
- media contracts
- taking action against third parties seeking to unlawfully benefit from your brand, including obtaining preventative injunctions through the Courts or domain name dispute resolution.

Conspiracy theories were running wild in East Harlem the other night.
Residents had gathered in an auditorium to discuss the fate of their local hospital, the Metropolitan. Speakers told the largely black and Spanish-speaking crowd that white businessmen are meeting in clandestine boardrooms to decide whether to shut the hospital down. They described a nefarious plan by Governor Pataki to close the state's most needed medical facilities. Hollering and swaying like a gospel congregation, the crowd vowed to fight.
With a state commission finalizing recommendations to axe one-third of the state's hospital beds, the residents fear that the financially-strapped Metropolitan soon may be forced to shut down. Commission members say it's not racism but economics driving the hospital closures.
But for many public health advocates the reassurances have provided little comfort. At the East Harlem meeting, City Councilwoman Melissa Mark Viverito rose to declare that the commission is going to target communities where they feel people can be stepped on. "We need to demonstrate that we will not allow that to happen," she said. "That's right! That's right!" someone shouted. In an emotional crescendo, Viverito cried out, "We need to take it to the streets!" The crowd went wild.
Such passion has been echoed in recent weeks throughout New York City where people worry that the city's sharp health disparities between rich and poor will be worsened by decisions to shut down hospitals. Officials say that while plans to trim the state's health care facilities may be painful to some constituencies, the money-losing system is in dire need of reform.
Governor Pataki convened the 18-member Commission on Health Care Facilities in the 21st Century, also known as the "hospital closings commission", last year to recommend closures, consolidations and streamlining of the state's hospitals and nursing homes. As the December 1 deadline for the commission's recommendations nears, speculation about which hospitals will get pegged for the scrap heap has become feverish. Hospital administrators have quietly retained lobbying firms and lawyers should their facilities make the list.
New York's hospitals have been losing money since the late 1990's. They are plagued by rising hospital costs, heavy debts, underpayment for care, and the growing number of uninsured patients—now 25 percent of the city's population.
Most health experts and community leaders agree that reform is necessary and that hospital closures should be part of the solution. The state hopes that by shuttering health care facilities it will strengthen those left open. By some estimates, 19,000 of the state's 62,000 beds are unnecessary. Money saved with the reforms will be reinvested into health care.
Board members aren't saying which hospitals will be selected for closure, but they say some painful decisions are unavoidable.
"One of the basic premises that many people hold is that New York health care is not sustainable into the future. What bigger risk is there than a system that is in the process of collapse?" said commission member Neil Roberts, former head of the New York Association of Homes and Services for the Aging.
No Tinkering
The commission's proposals will likely become law. The legislature will have only the month of December to reject or tinker with them; if no action is taken they pass automatically into law by Dec. 31. And last month, the Bush administration promised $1.5 billion over five years to help pay for the health facilities reform with a key stipulation: the legislature must accept the commission's recommendations wholesale.
Activists have good reason to fear the worst. In the last 40 years, 66 hospitals have closed in New York City, the majority in high-poverty, medically underserved areas, say health experts. Many now fear that sorely needed hospitals will get shut down and further strain service to low-income New Yorkers.
Alan Sager, professor at the Boston University School of Public Health, conducted a 52-city study of hospital closures over several decades in which he found that America's poorest neighborhoods are usually the first to be targeted for hospital closures. He said he sees no evidence that the commission will depart from that trend. "If your hospital is located in a black or Latino neighborhood you're probably at greater risk, especially if you're not a major teaching hospital," he said.
Sager found that when hospitals close patients are often slow to transition to a new facility, possibly endangering their health.
Enough Input?
Many community leaders have complained that the commission has failed to gather enough input from locals.
Gary Fitzgerald, president of the Iroquois Healthcare Alliance, which represents 56 upstate hospitals, has called for the commission's proposals to be rejected. He noted that several appointments to regional boards set up to advise the commission were simply not filled. "Someone suggested, 'Well, you know, you can't criticize what you haven't seen,'" he said. "Well, by the time we see [the recommendations] they'll be very little time to analyze it and get back to the legislative people and get them to act on it."
He added, "We know we need to make changes obviously in health care and we're looking for improved access and improved quality. It's just that we believe there needed to be discussion about the solution."
Board members though say that local considerations factored highly in their deliberations. From rural upstate New York to the inner city, the commission ranked hospitals and nursing homes with a scoring system that included six criteria: vulnerable populations, availability of services, quality of care, utilization, viability, and economic impact.
"Financial considerations were part of it, quality was part of it, access was part of it, disadvantaged populations was part of it," said commission member Roberts. "Did one of them override the others? I don't think so. I think they were all considered."
Roberts added, "[The regional advisory committees] may have been undermanned but they were manned with very highly qualified people that worked tremendously hard...And while the commission reports varied significantly, I was deeply impressed by the knowledge that some of these folks had of the marketplace. If we had worked with the data in the absence of the [the regional advisory committees] we wouldn't have gotten it right I don't think."
How To Save Money
Rather than bolstering primary care, which advocates call the best cost-saving measure, the commission has focused too heavily on reducing beds and closing facilities, said a report released last month by the Primary Care Development Corporation, a public-private partnership that advocates for medically underserved communities. One of the main reasons for hospitals' poor economic performance said Ronda Kotelchuck, director of PCDC, is the overuse of costly emergency rooms rather than early treatment.
More than half of New York City has a shortage of primary care physicians, the report found. As a result, patients with minor conditions like a sore throat or fever are likely to allow their conditions to worsen until a visit to the emergency room is required, said Kotelchuck.
"What we're saying is that the commission is trying to address excess capacity in the hospital and the nursing home sectors. And we know underneath that there's concern about rising cost. And so the reason they're doing it is to save money," said Kotelchuck. "But just like when you have an ill patient if you don't intervene until things have gone way down the road you have very few options open to you."
Sager also said there were many better ways to save money without shutting down hospitals, including the reduction of poor medical care, bureaucratic paper waste, overpriced prescriptions, and theft. "The hospital closings commission imagines that having extra hospitals and beds is what engenders high cost," said Sager. "That doesn't seem to be the case."
Board members will meet once more to iron out details before submitting the final set of recommendations. Roberts said critics should wait to see what the commission says before passing judgment. "I think when they see the results they're gonna, I don't know if pleased is the right word, but I don't think they're gonna feel like anybody was singled out to be disadvantaged. I think that the process wasn't to disadvantage anyone. The process was to advantage New York."
"The proof will be in the pudding," he said.
Commission Members Draw Mixed Reviews
By Mike McPhate
Some observers have criticized the hospitals commission for being unrepresentative of New York's diversity and for lacking public health expertise. Two-thirds of the members were appointed by the governor and the rest by the state Senate and Assembly. Leading the commission is Stephen Berger, a cigar-smoking investment banker.
The board consists of ten members with some background in health, several policy wonks and bankers, a university president, a lawyer and a Bishop. Four of them are women.
Judy Wessler, director of the nonprofit Commission on the Public's Health System, said the board is dominated by "upstate, white businessmen" with little understanding of low-income communities that might be hurt by a hospital closure. "There are two kind of decent people on the commission," she said. "But I don't want to out them in any way."
Gary Fitzergerald, president of the Iroquois Healthcare Alliance, disagreed. "They're a good cross section of professionals," he said. "I know many of them. I've worked with some of them. And I think that they really have a good knowledge of health care."
Ronda Kotelchuck, director of the Primary Care Development Corporation, praised the commissioners for trying to reach out to the community. "[The commission members] have been extremely conscientious about getting out to every group they could possibly get out to. And I think they're very responsive about sharing any kind of input that they're getting," she said.
"I'm sure it could be a better process," she added. "I'm sure it could be different. But from where I sit I think they've done a good job."
Commission member Neil Roberts said a lot of misconceptions are swirling about the commissioners' motives. "I think people perceive that the process was probably more political than it really was. It was a very academic discussion," he said.
Roberts praised Berger's leadership, as well as the research skills of the commission staff. "I can only tell you that Stephen Berger's a very impressive man and did a tremendous job drawing these people together and to direct the staff. I don't think that's understood."
Why Hospitals Are Losing Money
New York's hospitals have been losing money since 1998. They lost a combined $127 million in 2004, as hospitals in other parts of the country made profits. Here are four major reasons why, according to health experts:
1. Hospital labor and equipment costs rising faster than local government tax dollars
2. Low government and insurance reimbursement rates
3. Heavy debts
4. Cost of covering the growing number of uninsured patients—more than 3 million New Yorkers are uninsured.

Offense, Foles 'on the same page' on game-winning drive
TAMPA, Fla. — The Eagles were two seconds and one yard from ending an eight-game losing streak Sunday. That's when Nick Foles trusted his own talents, his own instincts, his own experience.
Why not? By then, he had already driven the Eagles 63 yards, with only one real secret.
"It was just," he would say, "playing ball."
The NFL is hardly that uncomplicated, not in December, not on the road against a conference opponent with playoff desperation, not for these Eagles, not this year. But at that moment, down by five points, Foles decided that it would be no other way.
So to the sideline and into a conversation with Andy Reid and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg he would push. There, he would make one request: Let him pass the Eagles to their first victory since the end of September. That, he would do by rolling to his right and finding Jeremy Maclin in the end zone for the deciding touchdown in a 23-21 victory.
Just playing ball, indeed …
"We were all on the same page," Foles said. "He (Reid) trusted me. When you have a coach that trusts you in that situation, it helps. I said I was comfortable with the play. He said, 'Let's do it.'"
Reid committed to Foles as the Birds' starting quarterback last week, essentially giving concussion-recovering Michael Vick the rest of a fractured season off. It was a move for the moment, but for the future, too.
By Sunday night, Foles had commandeered both.
Trailing, 21-16, with 2:44 left, Foles and the Birds took possession at their 36 with only the two-minute warning as a clock-management tool. That's when Foles would begin a 13-play drive that not only would sturdy his professional stature, but some day could contribute to his legend. Twice, the Birds would have to convert on fourth down. The second time came with 16 seconds left, from the Bucs' 23, when Foles connected with Jason Avant at the one. Continued...
A Tampa Bay timeout and that huddle with the coaches later, Foles would add the final yard to his 381-yard passing day, the best ever by an Eagles rookie.
"He made some great, big throws," Reid said. "It looked like he rallied the crew in there and everybody stepped their game up. The O-line had a couple breakdowns in the middle of the game there and he was able to rally those guys or they rallied around him, whichever way it went. It looked like Nick really did well, made good decisions and made big plays."
Despite being sacked six times, Foles completed 32 of 51 passes, tossed two touchdown passes and jogged 10 yards for one of his own. While having made just three starts, he would finish the way with 1,174 passing yards, third most by any Eagles rookie in a season, behind John Reaves and Davey O'Brien. Reaves had 1,508 passing yards in 1972, O'Brien 1,324 in 1939.
He holds the Eagles rookie record with 113 completed passes. But it was the one victory that he would most cherish.
"I'm so excited for my teammates, me, Coach Reid, our organization, our owners," Foles said. "It's just very special, very humbling. It's a great win, too, because we came back. We were winning. We lost it. The team stuck together. There was never a doubt in our minds. It was exciting to get out there and execute."
And to just play ball.

President Gingrich? Wonderful news for Israel - maybe...
By Stanley Walinets
January 26, 2012 | Share |
How might the US Presidentials affect Israel? An item just copied to me from the current 'Forward', the Jewish daily paper:-
"Adelson Millions Ensure Gingrich Steers to Far Right on Israel" (
Read on, then rejoice - or despair........
"It is safe to say that without multi-billionaire Sheldon Adelson's help the chances of Newt Gingrich becoming the Republican nominee for president would be zero - and consequently the race itself, going into
Florida at the moment, would not be the competitive, drag-out fight it has become. Adelson, the hotel and casino magnate, has kept Gingrich alive, first through an infusion of $5 million into a super PAC, which
allowed the former speaker to defend himself against attacks by Mitt Romney and led to Gingrich's thumping victory in South Carolina. And now we know that Adelson's wife, Miriam, has committed another $5 million to
the cause of Newt.
One of Adelson's passions - and a reason for his desire to play such a big role in American politics - is undoubtedly Israel. And his positions are unambiguously right-wing and hawkish to the extreme. When it comes
to the Palestinians, there is no one to be trusted. The New Yorker quotes him as calling Salam Fayyad, the Palestinian prime minister widely respected in the West, as being one of the "terrorists" running the Palestinian Authoriy. Even AIPAC was not far enough to the right for him. After being a diehard supporter - funding a new building in Washington, D.C. - he split with the group in 2007 when it decided to support a congressional initiative, backed by the Israelis, to increase economic aid to the Palestinians. "I don't continue to support organizations that help friends committing suicide just because they want to jump," he said at the time by way of explanation. He had the same reaction when Ehud Olmert, whom Adelson had once befriended, came to the conclusion that he had to pursue negotiations with the Palestinian leadership.
In short, Adelson does not believe in the two-state solution. As he told The Jewish Week last year, "The two-state solution is a stepping stone for the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people."
What does it mean to have someone with these views have such an outsized influence on a candidate and the race he is in? Well, for Gingrich it seems this has translated into him tripping over himself to prove his
pro-Israel bona fides, to the point where he was willing to say, this past December in an interview with the Jewish Channel, that the Palestinians were an "invented" people who "had the chance to go many places". No Palestinians, no need to negotiate a state. And Adelson clearly showed his satisfaction with Gingrich's line. As he told a group of Birthright participants at a Hanukkah party a few weeks later, "Read the history of those who call themselves Palestinians, and you will hear why Gingrich said recently that the Palestinians are an invented people."
As Wayne Barrett recently reported in The Daily Beast, there has been a marked turn in Gingrich's positions on Israel since his political life began depending on Adelson. Not that long ago, in a 2005 Middle East Quarterly article, Gingrich urged the "Palestinian diaspora" to invest in "their ancestral lands," and even proposed that Congress "establish a program of economic aid for the Palestinians to match the aid the U.S. government provides Israel."
You will not hear anything like this from Gingrich again any time soon.
But the greater concern is that because of his influence on Gingrich, Adelson has turned the Republican contest into a competition of extreme rhetoric, in which there is no room for compromise or diplomacy, and the
only answer to any international problem is unmitigated toughness. No one wants to be outflanked by the right when it comes to foreign policy (no one, I should say, besides Ron Paul) and so Gingrich's apparent parroting of Adelson's hardline attitudes about Israel - and, I should add, Iran - means that the whole tone of the race is affected......"
Certainly makes you despair at the nature of our democracies, that the elections of our Governments are really decided by the millionaires who happen to back them. We the people elect our Governments.... ho ho ho...

Fri, 01/27/2012 - 11:56 Rate this: 0 points | strange …i thought that the election of the us government was decided by the votes in a nationwide election why are you trying to give the impression that the us presidency is in the pocket of a rich jew? |
Fri, 01/27/2012 - 16:32 Rate this: -1 points | Happygoldfish - I think you miss the point. The point I was making re our democratic system was that in this particular instance - the backing of Newt Gingrich - his possible success seems highly dependent on the support of a millionaire. As Advs3r points out, the chances of ANY candidate these days winning our 'democratic' elections, are in fact largely a result of the financial backing that candidate can attract. The more millionaires you can attract who think you'll favour them if you're elected, the more likely you are to win. That's so in the US and the UK, to name but two nations. Consider the numbers of Company Directors, bankers et al who financially back the Conservative Party, and the number of financiers who support the Labour Party? This seems especially true of the US system and its Republican candidates - and if the people who back you also happen to own broadcasting companies (think of Fox News & co), well, with friends like that you're unlikely to lose. So I agree, for once, with Advs3r - except that George Soros backs many other parties and causes that are nothing to do with Israel. But all this is a 'sub-issue' of my reason for this posting. I'm simply quoting this report as an indicator of the influence the American 'Jewish lobby' has in that powerful country - notwithstanding that even AIPAAC itself has been dismissed by Adelson as not anti-Palestinian enough... |
Mon, 01/30/2012 - 18:51 Rate this: 1 point | "The two-state solution is a stepping stone for the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people." He was echoing Arafat by the way. So how is Mr Adelson's comment somehow outrageous? Walinets however your odious comment about "the Jewish Lobby" in America is outrageous and should be withdrawn - it is a standard anti-Semitic trope and has no place on this website, that you subscribe to such a view however might explain your other vindictive anti-Israel postings on this website. |
jose (not verified) Tue, 01/31/2012 - 15:16 Rate this: 1 point | Curious that Walinuts does not imply that a rich Saudi for example would back an antisemitic candidate in order to win the US election. Maybe there is no Saudi millionaire? Obviously, Walinuts sees a millionaire plot only when the candidate is in favour of Israel, therefore he must be a Jewish millionaire... You know, those Jews own the media, the banks, the Freemasons, the Illuminati... Read that in the "Protocols"... And you know what, they made us believe that 9/11 was perpetrated by Muslims, but shhhh! In fact, it was you know who ! |

Need or Greed: Who's Responsible for the Global Economic Collapse?
7 p.m.Chicago Temple77 West Washington Chicago, IL, 60602
As we enter the fifth year of the Great Recession, the new watch word for those of us on Main Street is austerity. We are told we must sacrifice to restore the economy to health. Meanwhile, the Dow hovers around the 13,000 mark and the good times are back on Wall Street. Is this really the route back to prosperity? Or just a rerun of the same old same old?
Chicago Area Peace Action sponsored a town hall discussion with economist and CEPR Co-Director Dean Baker on "Need or Greed: Who's Responsible for the Global Economic Collapse?" For more information, visit the event website or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
