Florida coach Will Muschamp now has two Gator legacies in his 2013 class, and, because of it, the No. 1-ranked recruiting class.
Florida coach Will Muschamp now has two Gator legacies in his 2013 class, and, because of it, the No. 1-ranked recruiting class.
Orlando Dr. Phillips safety Marcell Harris verbally committed to UF during a ceremony at his high school Thursday morning. He chose the Gators over Florida State, Oklahoma and Texas.
The consensus four-star is one of the top prospects in the nation at his position and boasts an impressive r�sum�.
With the addition of Harris, the Gators are now ranked No. 1 by ESPN in the team recruiting rankings.
Harris was selected to the Under Armour All-American Game on Oct. 31 and competed in a handful of combines and events last summer, including The Opening and Gridiron Kings.
The 6-foot-1, 209-pounder visited Florida a total of 10 times during his recruitment, but the school felt like home before the process even began. Harris and both of his parents were born and raised in Gainesville, and his grandmother still lives in town. His father, Mike "Mud" Harris, played free safety for UF from 1994-1997 with running back Fred Taylor, whose son Kelvin is committed to the Gators and will enroll early with Marcell in January.
Harris suffered a right knee injury on Oct. 25 that forced him to miss the remainder of his senior season, but he's expected to be at full strength before UF begins practicing in the spring.
Harris is the 22nd member of Florida's class and the 10th from the ESPN150.
Florida commit and former Nebraska offensive lineman Tyler Moore is no longer considered a transfer because he is enrolled at St. Petersburg College and has been reclassified as a JUCO prospect.
Verbal commitments are not binding until prospects sign their national letters of intent in February.

The banged-up Kansas City Chiefs suffered another blow Thursday when linebacker Joe Mays was told he would need surgery on the wrist he injured last weekend at Carolina.
Mays, who was expected to start alongside Derrick Johnson at inside linebacker, will likely have the procedure later this week, according to a person familiar with the situation who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team had not revealed the surgery.
The Chiefs play the Vikings in their third preseason game Saturday night.
Mays signed a $6 million, two-year contract with the Chiefs in the offseason, and he was being counted on to replace the departed Akeem Jordan. He had been having a productive training camp as a run-stuffing linebacker who would then sub out in obvious passing situations.
The Chiefs were already dealing with a rash of injuries. Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles returned to practice Thursday after missing a week with a foot injury, though he is not expected to play against Minnesota. Pro Bowl safety Eric Berry (heel) and wide receiver Dwayne Bowe (quad) are among several other Chiefs players who have not been practicing.
"Listen, I don't care about all that. Next guy is in and we roll," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said this week, when asked how the injuries have affected preparation for the season. "It's simple that way. If you can play, you can play, and if you can't, you can't."
The injury to Mays should create playing time for James Michael-Johnson, who appeared in all 16 games for the Chiefs last season, and Josh Mauga, a veteran who has moved past second-year pro Nico Johnson on the depth chart after signing at the start of training camp.
Mauga has also missed time in training camp with injuries.

PITTSBURGH — It's easier to find parking here than it is for an NFC team to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field.
In either case you need a little luck.
The Eagles fortunately have a lucky horseshoe in quarterback Michael Vick when they oppose the Steelers on Sunday (1 p.m., Fox 29, WIP 94.1-FM).
Vick has won here. He's won seven of his last eight starts against those AFC teams that have been a major headache for head coach Andy Reid.
"You have to have the right mindset to go in there and to win," Vick said. "You have to have a great group of guys who believe in themselves, first and foremost. They have great players, starting with a great quarterback and a defense to complement that. You've just to go in there and find a way to get it done."
With losses in two of their first three games, the Steelers are in the claw-with-your-fingernails mode. There are reasons they're 1-2. Injuries to safety Troy Polamalu, running back Rashard Mendenhall and linebacker James Harrison didn't help. All are expected to play Sunday.
There's also a reason the Steelers haven't lost back-to-back games in three years, head coach Mike Tomlin is 9-1 and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is 13-1 against the NFC in Steeltown. And why the Steelers have won 26 of their last 32 starts against the NFC.
Forewarned is forearmed. Look for the Steelers to play a physical Ravens-style game with bullying tactics.
"One-and-two coming off a bye, shoot, you know you're going to get everything they've got," Eagles cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie said. "It's like they've got a must-win, so we know we're going into a dogfight."
The Eagles are fifth in the NFL in yards per scrimmage, churning out 417.8 per game. They're seventh in rushing offense (145.8 average).
For all of their work the Eagles have scored just 66 points. Only the Colts and the Jaguars, a combined 2-5, have scored fewer.
Last week the Eagles balanced the pass-to-run ratio that was out of whack. Instead of the bombs-away attack, which helped produce what still is a league-leading 12 giveaways, the Eagles instructed Vick to play more small-ball. Voila, a turnover-free game. The Eagles need an encore performance to have a chance to beat the Steelers.
"I've always felt I could play that way," Vick said. "Sometimes you're just in situations where you try to force things and make things happen. Sometimes that can be kryptonite for a quarterback. When you know you can get it done and you try so hard you don't let it come naturally. Sometimes it can hurt you. So you learn to play within the system and just try to do that over and over again."
As Vick goes, so goes the offense.
Pro Bowl running back LeSean McCoy is third in the NFL in rushing but has just one touchdown.
DeSean Jackson leads the Eagles in receptions and receiving yardage but has only one TD.
Defensively the Eagles have to make Ben Roethlisberger uncomfortable. One of the issues there is the 6-5, 241-pound Roethlisberger likes uncomfortable. No one, not even Vick, keeps plays alive longer than Roethlisberger.
"He's about 260, 270 pounds, so arm tackles aren't going to tackle him in the pocket," linebacker Jamar Chaney said. "Grabbing one leg or something like that won't work or sacking him with one arm. Most quarterbacks, you probably can do that. When he gets outside the pocket, some of their receivers just take off down the field and he just throws it up."
The Eagles practiced scramble drills where they simulated Roethlisberger extending plays. Defenders have to lock in on receivers while the linemen and linebackers have to hustle back if Roethlisberger breaks containment.
The Steelers lead the league in third down offense, converting 56.3 percent of their chances.
The Eagles are third in third-down defense, allowing a conversion rate of just 26.9 percent. The red zone defense is just as tough. Only four teams have allowed fewer touchdowns than the Eagles, who have allowed eight.
Tomlin is particularly impressed with the third-down defense, but he hasn't had to say a lot to get the attention of his players this week.
"It's a big game on a lot of fronts," Tomlin said. "Obviously we need to respond from a subpar performance. That makes it big. It's at home in front of our fans. That's always big. And we're playing a really good football team in the Philadelphia Eagles. So there's a lot to be excited about. The big thing is we need to respond in the correct way.
"Ultimately we've got to play and play well."
The Eagles, like the NFC teams before them, figure to find out how difficult that is, along with the parking in what affectionately has been called the biggest small town in America.

When driving home for the holidays, off-peak travel times are your friend. As with air travel, you need to figure out what everyone else will likely do and then do the opposite. These ideas have worked for me:
Finally, any car trip is going to be a long one. No matter where you're headed, it will almost certainly take you longer than it normally does. Plan for this. Bring plenty of videos, games and toys for small children. For older children and adults, here are some interesting ways to pass the time:

Dear Editor:
I believe it is not only necessary, but crucial to the preservation of our democracy for churches of all faiths to speak out and condemn the evil attempts of the "suppress the vote" movement that began over two years ago in many states. I believe Christ shares this same sense of outrage as so many of us do over this attack upon the Constitutional rights of millions of our citizens.
As a Catholic I am calling upon our pastors across the country to condemn from the pulpit this inherently evil campaign on the grounds that it is a denial of one of our most basic human and civil rights and blessings, the right to choose who will govern us.
Some would argue that such action, even in the face of such depraved, calculated effort to deny others their right to vote, does not fall within the purview of the Church's responsibility to its flock; that such an action would mean crossing the line, as it were, into realm of politics. I contend that the plot I speak of is heinous abuse of human rights, God-given rights. Such as devious actions transcend the realm of politics. It is not a political issue. Rather it is one born of blatant racism and unwillingness of those in power to be guided by moral principles, but in essence to say no to the wishes of Christ.
Charles McAdam

Dynamic Healthcare acquires Pittsburgh company
Dynamic Healthcare Services Inc., a Dauphin County-based home health care equipment and services company, said it has acquired medical equipment distributor HomeTown Oxygen Pittsburgh.
The companies finalized the deal Nov. 8, according to Dynamic. They are not disclosing terms of the acquisition, which comes just two months after Dynamic bought Evanko Respiratory Inc., a Hazleton-based medical equipment supplier.
Allegheny County-based HomeTown expands Dynamic's workforce to about 100 employees, the company said. Dynamic had about 80 employees after the Evanko acquisition. HomeTown was started in 2007 and grew rapidly to distribute medical supplies in 11 western counties.
West Hanover Township-based Dynamic was formed in 2000 as the parent company to the midstate's Central Medical Equipment and Pittsburgh-based East Suburban Medical Supply.
Dynamic is a portfolio company of Delaware County-based private equity firm GMH Ventures.

Hernandez and other hospital officials met with the city to talk about the possibility of putting a one-cent sales tax on the ballot in November to support the hospital.
By James Jordan
The Wellington Daily News
The Sumner County Regional Medical Center had one of its best months in recent memory in June, and July looks pretty good too, hospital director Leonard Hernandez told the Wellington City Council at a recent work session.
The half cent to support the hospital, and whether to put fluoride in the water, will be voted on at the next meeting in August in time to get both questions on the ballot for the November election.
Hernandez and other hospital officials met with the city to talk about the possibility of putting a one-cent sales tax on the ballot in November to support the hospital.
There is currently a half-cent sales tax on the books, and that would be repealed if this were passed. The half-cent is due to expire in July of 2015. There was another half-cent sales tax that expired in January of 2014.
Hernandez has been working to make some improvements to the bottom line at the hospital, such as hiring a surgeon and getting help with billing. They are also seeking sole community provider status, which will change how the hospital is reimbursed.
"Even if we change things, we are not going to be totally self sufficient. We awill need some additional funding," he said.
Hospital officials pointed out that the local hospital is not unique in its financial struggles. A lot of small town hospitals struggle and the local community has to support them through a sales tax or some other means of support.
The city gave the hospital 800,000 earlier this year in order to help it make ends meet.
The hospital should get $1.2 million per year with a one-cent sales tax. In the past Wellington has supported the hospital with wide margins of vote.
In order to get the sales tax on the November Ballot, the city would have to approve a measure during a meeting in August.
There may be a measure on the November ballot to let voters decide whether to put fluoride in water in Wellington. The city currently uses a small amount, and many cities do. According to a report from the city, Winfield is the only area city that does not have fluoride in its water.
The issue has become more controversial lately, with people speaking out against it.
Wellington City Councilman John Tracy brought up the idea. He said he has heard comments form people opposed to the use of fluoride.
"I don't have an opinion. It is easy to put it on the ballot and let people decide," he said.
Council member Jan Korte said she has seen studies that report no difference in cavities with or without fluoride.
It was suggested to get some opinions from doctors or dentists.
Tracy said it could be a spirited public debate, and doctors could be part of that.
Councilman John Brand said it is possible to find research supporting either side of the issue. He was concerned that one organized group on one side or the other could get involved and slant public opinion.
The city spends $3,900 on fluoride each year, and there is no cost to put it on the ballot in November.

I have seen may reasons offered as to why our O is struggling. But I do not remember this one discussed. We jump around blaming the new scheme, the O-line, the QB, the receivers, the OC, the O-line coach, the play calling, etc. But we should not overlook the fact that this offense is sorely lacking in locker room leadership. We simply do not have motivating veteran players on our Offense. The closest I can think of that should have assumed that role are:
1. Alex Smith- All the talk about his game manager label, added to the fact that he simply distrusts his receivers does not earn him a general's credibility among the rest of the O players.
2. Jamaal Charles- Dude is an awesome RB, who performs well on the field. But I have not detected anything in his demeanor as a star player who should demand perfection from his fellow offense players.
3. Branden Albert- He demanded LT money and showed himself pretty selfish in the off season refusing to accept a move to a more suitable position where he can possibly excel. In the process he has been no more than an average LT delaying Fisher's development.
4. Dwaine Bowe- I was really happy with his never say die attitude during the ugly disaster that was 2012. At times he literally carried the offense on his shoulders last year. This year, after the big contract he seems to have lost his focus and desire to play hard. This is the saddest one of all, because he has the talent and the outspoken personality for the leadership role.
5. (Can't think of any other) :(

The US stock market is continuing to show very bullish trading activity, even in the face of Apple's drastic drop yesterday. Overall, we believe the global investing community is starting to get on the same page in that 2013 could be a very risk-on focused year. The cash S&P 500 hit 1500 this week for the first time in years, and the futures are literally just a couple of points away. The MAR13 E-mini S&P 500 futures trading up to 1497 today, and are up 4.25 points, or .28%. We continue to hold our first major technical upside target at 1530. We would not be surprised to see this level hit in the futures before summer.
We are seeing the US bond market of the US really start to slide, with many Eurodollar interest futures taking big losses today, and the benchmark US 10 year note (MAR13 contract) trading down 22 ticks today to 131'17. We believe this market has very significant downside, to the tune of at least 4-5 points over the next 6 months, especially if the US economic numbers, focusing on jobs, come out very strong. The payrolls and employment #'s should have a huge impact on the bonds.
Overall, soft commodities are weak, with cocoa hitting new 2013 lows at 2172. Cotton is down 2.69% today, after making a huge multi-day run up. Sugar futures are also trading beneath the key pivot level of $.19. Sugar is trading at $.1843 today, and we could see that market sliding lower.
It is interesting to see how the markets are moving recently. Commodities and equities seem to be getting more uncorrelated, and the bond market is starting to react to the potential of a real upturn in the equity markets combined with global growth increasing. We could see some significant trends this year in several key financial markets.
We focus more on silver today. Silver, as noted on our chart, has been in range between $27 and $35 since September 2011. We believe that if the equity markets continue to rally, people will get out of gold and silver, and thus cause these markets to decline. We believe silver will approach the key support level at $27, and possibly even head lower after that. Gold has now tested the $1,700 this year, and not been able to trade above it. We believe gold might head lower to the key support range at $1,620-$1,630, and if it breaks that, it could head to $1,580. We would not be surprised to see this occur as the risk-on appetite might intensify.

CHARLESTON, S.C. -- Upset victims.
Those two words will describe the Colorado basketball program the next time it loses a game.
The Buffs (4-0) flew home with Charleston Classic championship trophy on Monday after defeating Dayton, Baylor and Murray State.
By the time Tad Boyle's team landed, CU was ranked No. 23 in this week's Associated Press poll.
It's the first time the Buffs have been ranked by AP since 1997 when Chauncey Billups was running the show.
CU last appeared in the polls for two weeks in February 2006 (No. 25 in the USA Coaches, which tabbed the Buffs 27th this week).
This is the first time the program has been ranked during non-conference play since Dec.
Now the head coach, who used preseason snubs in the Big 12 and Pac-12 media polls as motivation for his first two CU squads, will have to get the Buffs ready for every opponent's best shot.
"I do know that as we continue to have success that we're going to become the hunted rather than the hunter," Boyle said after CU's 81-74 victory over Murray State in the championship game on Sunday night at TD Arena. "We have to be able to handle that."
The young Buffs have handled the great expectations created by last season's Pac-12 Tournament championship and NCAA Tournament appearance perfectly so far.
Askia Booker averaged 19.3 points, including a career-high 23 in the title game against the Racers' dynamic backcourt, to earn tournament most valuable player honors. He was also named the Pac-12 Player of the Week on Monday.
"Overall, it's just confidence," Booker said. "That's the big thing in anyone's game. I believe it's going to go in when I shoot it."
Spencer Dinwiddie believes he can defend any guard in the country.
The 6-6 sophomore held Dayton's Kevin Dillard (10 points, 4-for-12 shooting), Baylor's Pierre Jackson (12, 3-for-11) and Murray State's Isaiah Cannan (21, 8-for-19) in check.
Those point guards led their teams to a combined 6-0 record at the Charleston Classic in games not involving CU.
"It was tiring," Dinwiddie said after making 11 of 12 free throws to help seal the victory over Murray State. "I'm tired, I want to sleep."
The Buffs will have some down time this week while all of the other students are on Thanksgiving break.
CU doesn't put its No. 23 ranking on the line until Sunday night when Air Force visits the Coors Events Center (6 p.m., Pac-12 Network).
"The exciting thing for me is this team still has a high ceiling and a lot of areas where we can get better," Boyle said. "And we need to get better."

The last concert we were supposed to attend (Christina's) got canceled (well the whole tour did), so I just got the unused tickets. heh
I guess she's planning for 2011 though.
Geez, it's been a few years, but the wife and I saw Carrie Underwood during her first big tour, 'course that was before we had our beautiful little dude. There've been some great shows in Reno lately, but we just can't tear ourselves away from our Son long enough to even go see a movie! Lol, is that bad or what?
Before that, I saw a great show with Beyonce, Carrie Underwood, and Rascal Flatts at a Walmart shareholders meeting back when I still worked there. It woulda been a whole lot better if I wasn't so hung over from the night before, oops!
And before that (before I was married, when I was just a 'wild and crazy guy'), one of the best shows I've ever been to was at the Great Western Forum in L.A. for the Beastie Boys, and also a HUGE show in Bakersfield with Korn, Godsmack, and a few others.

Obviously, the last concert I attended was:
Sept. 22nd in Chicago; Aerosmith with Buckcherry opening!!!
My 17th Aerosmith show... and my god, I swear it was the best show I've EVER seen them do!!
Steven Tyler sounded better than I've ever heard him. That voice could crumble mountains! And I was a little afraid of how the show would be, with all the resent media fire about the band not getting along, and Joe Perry running to the press to air out the dirty laundry... but I will tell you as an honest man, NONE of that was present on stage. They were so into each other it was beautiful. Either all the crap in the press is false, or these 5 guys deserve Oscars. lol They were amazing!! Like I said, I've seen them 17times since May 1st of 1999... and they've never kicked my ass so hard, or amazed me like that last show. Truelly magical!!
And Buckcherry were just too awesome as well!! Hell of a band they are!!
But here's a clip from Youtube. It's the 1st 15 min. of the show... amazing! And the second song, Train Kept a Rollin is a monster!! Check out the end of the song... Steven Tyler is too f ing cool!

I like underground, small venue shows. Of course, pretty much all of the music I like is of that realm. I won't see big bands play giant arenas. I hate that crap.
Some interesting tastes in music here ... ...
I caught the Scissor Sisters last month.
I want to smurf your smurf.
I saw the Smashing Pumpkins last month in Seattle. I was right up against the gate on the floor about 10 feet in front of Billy Corgan! My only complaint was that they played too many hits. I would have loved to hear some more album tracks and obscure songs, but I can't complain as it was a great show from my second favorite band of all time!
The Halloween Hootenanny Tour: Featuring the Gruesome Twosome
October 16th, 2010 at DCU Center in Worcester, MA.
The Murderdolls were the opening act, but I got there late and missed them.
Anyway, next was Alice Cooper and as expected he and his band mates put on an amazing show.
Next up, was the one and only Rob Zombie!!
What a great performance they had. For the last 4 or 5 years, Rob Zombie hasn't had his full stage show. Instead he had been playing "t-shirt and jeans" shows, as he likes to call them. Anyway, starting with The Mayhem Festival this last summer, he finally broke out his bag of tricks once more, huge monsters and killer robots included!! The set he played at this show was almost identical to his performance at the Mayhem Festival, but he added a little Halloween flare to it. They did a quick instrumental performance of The Munsters theme song and when the show was over, the band came out and threw out Halloween candy to all of us in the pit. As cheesy as it sounds, it was pretty awesome to get Halloween candy from Rob Zombie!!

I saw Yusuf Islam (aka Cat Stevens) at the Royal Albert Hall in London, December 2009... I am such a big fan of his... teary eyed throughout I have to admit... I was seated on ground level 10 rows away from the stage... awesome, unforgettable night ... I didn't record these videos by the way but good enough quality to share with y'all:
... and of course a more memorable hit of his:
"Milk is for babies" - Arnold Schwarzenneger
The last Concert I saw was Toni Childs, right here in outback Australia a few months ago, she was awesome!
'UNION' is still one of my all time favorite albums!
Before that it was late 2007, I saw Kylie Minogues 'Homecoming' tour! it was amazing!

They stopped doing that when I started doing the same to them at funerals.
Funny you should ask. Exactly twenty-one years ago yesterday I saw Guns N' Roses and The Rolling Stones together at the L.A. Coliseum. It was hyped as the changing of the guard -- the new taking over from the old. I had fifth row center seats. Guns N' Roses came out and rocked. It was electrifying --had everyone going nuts. Then, after they were finished, the Stones came on stage, played (reeeeeeeeal slow) the first eight bars of Satisfaction and it was all over right then and there -- everyone was like "Who's Guns N' Roses?" I mean the place had completely forgotten about the 'opening act'. Changing of the guard, indeed.
Amazing night. In fact, it was so amazing that I decided I'd never see another concert again. After all, it simply wasn't going to get better than that.

We have two kids now so it is a lot harder. I guess technically we saw Gordon from Sesame Street perform at a PBS even this summer. The last actual concert we went to was John Mellencamp, Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson on July 4th, 2009. Great show, John and Bob rocked out but Willie sort of slowed it down as the closer. It was the 4th time I have seen Willie and the only time I was a bit disappointed.
I wish I could go off to Vegas for this.
I just got back from Roger Waters performing The Wall live and it was by far the best arena-sized show I've ever seen.
My wife and I just saw Gorillaz in concert last night. It was a great show, N.E.R.D. opened up for them, they were really good too. Here's a pic.

DRACUT -- In five years when they're eligible, a dozen eighth-graders in Lakeview Junior High teacher Rebecca Duda's civics class may vote for state Sen. Barry Finegold because of a bill he promised not to introduce.
Based on the results of his question-and-answer session with the students, "A bill to switch to a six-day school week, including Saturdays -- definitely not popular with this group," said Finegold.
"So that's one bill I won't be filing," he said at Tuesday morning's class.
Public service and standing in front of a classroom come naturally for him, noted Finegold, whose parents were both teachers.
Finegold, 41, was making his second guest appearance in Duda's class since being elected to the Senate seat representing Dracut, Tewksbury, Lawrence and Andover in January 2011.
For the next half-hour he spoke about: What idea he had for a career at 13; how he first caught the "political bug"; how he went about becoming Andover's youngest-ever selectman in 1994; and the best thing to do -- and worst thing to say -- if you happen to run for president, a political history lesson handed down by a pair of Kennedys.
"When you were in eighth grade, did you think you'd be where you are today?" student Emma Carney asked him.
"At 13, definitely not. I actually thought one time that I was going to be a stock broker," Finegold answered. "But I didn't have it figured out in the eighth grade, so not to worry."
Entering college, he had still yet to decide on a career.
"I was at the 1992 Democratic National Convention, saw Bill Clinton, and thought it was pretty cool. And that's where I got the 'political bug' and decided to run for office," recalled Finegold. "Someone said to me, 'if you're serious about politics you have to go back home.' So I went back to Andover where I grew up."
There followed his history-making upset electoral victory at 23 against two veteran incumbent Andover selectmen, won largely due to his outworking everybody and knocking on thousands of doors, even on the coldest and wettest of days, Finegold said.
Though he obtained a law degree, one doesn't have to be a lawyer to be a lawmaker, he told the class.
"I have colleagues from all walks of life: Former teachers, doctors, some who worked in real estate, insurance."
For student Tyler Burgoyne, who shared with the class his aspiration to be president, Finegold had this special advice: Know exactly why you want to be the chief executive, and be able to articulate it. Unlike the late U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy, who during the 1980 election campaign, famously fumbled his answer to CBS' 60 Minutes correspondent Roger Mudd's question: "Why do you want to be president?"
"For example, If you asked me that question, why do I want to be a state senator, I'd answer, 'It's because I want to make higher education better; I want to help people try to get better jobs; I want to make sure we have a good environment, and I want to make sure people have opportunity.'
"The biggest mistake people in a position of leadership make is to not tell people why you want to be a leader, and exactly what you want to get done."
President John F. Kennedy set a leadership example by his actions during the 1960 presidential campaign in Wisconsin, said Finegold.
"John Kennedy really needed to win Wisconsin to become president, and as part of that effort he got up at 4 o'clock in the morning to greet workers of a large meat-packing plant and shake their hands in the freezing cold. By the time he's done shaking hands his knuckles were bleeding, it was so cold," Finegold told the students. "If I saw someone working like that, willing to put that kind of effort in, I'd be inspired. Anytime you're in a leadership position, you need to lead by example."
The state senator asked the students to promise him that five years from now they will each register and vote.
"What we take for granted all the time in this country is what a privilege it is to vote," said Finegold. "There are many countries -- North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba -- they don't even have the opportunity to choose their leaders.
"What's great about this country is, if you don't like what you hear, you can vote me out and put someone else in there. That is what democracy is all about. But it only can work if all of you take advantage of it. I'm not saying you have to be like Tyler and run for president, but you should vote."

Delta Dental Foundation tours Butler's Health Sciences Academy at Rose Hill after offering $20,000 oral health grant
The Butler Early College Health Sciences Academy at Rose Hill High School is taking a bite out of a big opportunity provided by the Delta Dental of Kansas Foundation in the form of a $20,000 grant to jump start an oral health class as part of the Academy's curriculum.
On Wednesday, students in the program were presented with electric toothbrushes by Dr. Hugh Bruner, Delta Dental of Kansas Foundation Board Member and Karen Finstad, Executive Director, Delta Dental of Kansas Foundation, who were on hand to tour the facility in Rose Hill.
"Delta Dental Foundation's support for the Early College Health Science Academy is greatly appreciated," said academy director Marcy Aycock. "This partnership will provide great learning opportunities for our students in addition to financial support. We hope this is the first of several partnerships between health care professionals and the ECHSA."
The $20,000 will support the program for three years by providing $5,000 per year for scholarships, as well as an initial boost of $5,000 at the beginning for "start-up" materials, models, tools and equipment.
An Introduction to Oral Health Care will begin in the spring semester, and be taught each year to ECHSA seniors. It will give them an overview of oral health care and implications for the body systems. The Health Sciences Academy already offers various high-tech and hands-on healthcare courses that result in high school students graduating with nearly two years of college credit in career-specific training.

Wanted: Human being willing to be strapped into highly combustible spaceship filled with thousands of gallons of rocket fuel. Must be willing to commute into space. Return trip not guaranteed. All interested parties please send resume to NASA, attention: Mercury Project.
The National Archives recently posted the original job description for an astronaut on NASA's Mercury mission. It's even more intimidating than our made-up version.
In a 1959 letter written to Lt. Paul B. Bennett Jr. from Clotaire Wood, technical assistant to the deputy administrator, Wood details the various job responsibilities required of a Mercury astronaut .
Duties: Participates in indoctrination, developmental research, and pre-flight training programs under conditions simulating flight profiles of the type expected to be encountered with Project Mercury. Operates and/or observes fixed-base and moving-base simulator tests, serves as subject-under-test, and assists in the analysis of date for the evaluation and development of various boosters and of communication, telemetry, display, vehicle-control, environmental-control and other systems involved in launch, atmospheric escape, orbital flight, reentry, landing and recovery. Participates in specialized training exercises such as centrifuge programs to build up tolerances to the motions and forces associated with launch, flight without gravity, and atmospheric reentry, and to develop proficiency and confidence for vehicle operation under such conditions.
Sounds great! Where do we sign?
For the record, Alan Shepard was the first American in space. His suborbital flight, aboard the Freedom 7, took place on May 5, 1961, and lasted about 15 and a half minutes.

The Missouri State High School Wrestling Championships started Thursday, and Neosho appears off to a good start. Neosho is a state powerhouse in Missouri high school wrestling and won back to back team championships in 2010 and 2011. Neosho has had several individual championships in their history, going back to Curtis Longstreet who was Neosho's first individual champion. Neosho has two wrestlers going for state championships tonight. Christian Lopez at 220, and Nate Rodriguez at 132 can win individual titles with victories.
The International Olympic Committee vtional olympic oted to not have wrestling as a sport in the 2020 Olympics. That came as quite a shock since wrestling goes back to the first modern Olympics back in 1896 and was even competed in the ancient Olympic games. I heard that factors such as popularity and ratings were in that decision. It is hard for me to imagine that badminton and table tennis are in the Olympics and wrestling is not. To compare those and their history to that of wrestling in the Olympics, and the decision has to be judged as outrageous at best. Maybe those who voted for the elimination of wrestling should be drug tested as well as the athletes.

$250? I'm out. I don't even think I can do $200 due to the pre-authorization charge, but upping the price even if it is just $50 makes it utterly impossible for me to do at all.
Can someone PM me the US number for Matty? I want to talk to someone who might has a clue of what is going on.
Evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
Yes the price has gone up (as expected, it was always a $200 approx) add on to that the UK shipping and customs and my neice and nephew are going to find themselves short of a present or 4 each from Uncle Kev next year!
But can you imagine how much the mental cost will be to you when you see this forum filled with photos of those that have them?? I hate Zodac, had him as a kid and always left him in the toy box while the others fought, therefore he became the only figure I skipped in this line - I then spent $50 buying him on ebay after seeing the awsome pics of him with Zodak - then I bought him again cos I wanted to use him as my Karuk-Nul (pre Scareglow) - the Cosmic enforcer gone bad. then another cos he had white gloves and people boots!
So no chance I'm letting CG get away otherwise I'll spend twice as much on ebay!!
If there's something strange in the neighbourhood, who you gonna' call? HE-MAN!!!!
I ahve done the same thing in the past before I subscribed a few years back. I skipped a few here and there, and now I have holes that only over-piced ebay can help fill. I'm in for Grayskull no matter what the price.
Oh I'm quite sure the castle will be awesome. I have never owned one. But my financial situation does not allow me to preorder it when they still have to do a pre-authorization. My first paycheck is not until Nov 30th, and I am moving into a new apartment where my rent is going up $400 a month Thanksgiving weekend.
Can someone PM me the US number for Matty? I want to talk to someone who might has a clue of what is going on.
Evil will always triumph because good is dumb.
I also think the 'out of sub' is a loophole they can and will exploit as needed. The whole argument/debate was about people being forced to buy things they didn't want or hadn't heard of. Hence the new promise of '2014 being all core/A-list' characters.
Anything out of sub is fair game as you'll have a choice to buy it or not.
The spacesuit figure wouldn't be a concept. In fact, it would just be another way of enticing people and hitting home the fact that this will be the ultimate Castle Grayskull. I'll actually be surprised if the spacesuit isn't produced in "3-D".
I do think they need to declare shipping costs during pre-sale, otherwise it could be 100 dollars to some locations for all we know.
Alright, well Grayskull has impressed me! At least, what they are planning. I can't imagine too many items that could be cut that would be a deal breaker. I've got some time to think about it, at least. I think this will finally push me to start selling off unwanted toys; I'ma save up for this bad boy.

Megan Miller of Middletown was honored with five awards during the 2012 volleyball season at Stevenson University in Maryland which won the Commonwealth Conference Championship and qualified for the NCAA Division III Tournament.
Megan Miller of Middletown was honored with five awards during the 2012 volleyball season at Stevenson University in Maryland which won the Commonwealth Conference Championship and qualified for the NCAA Division III Tournament.
Miller, a 2011 graduate of St. Georges Tech, is a sophomore at Stevenson University in Maryland. She is the daughter of Mitch and Yvonne Miller of Middletown. She played volleyball at St. Georges and on the Brandywine Volleyball Club travel team.
As a middle blocker at Stevenson University, she helped the Mustangs finish 36-3 in 2012. The 36 wins was a university record.
At the end of the regular season, Stevenson was ranked #2 in the Mid-Atlantic Region of Division III, behind Salisbury University. There are eight regions in the country. Stevenson also received votes for the Division III Top 25 nationwide rankings.
By winning the conference title, the Mustangs qualified for the NCAA Division III National Tournament, where they won the team's first-ever NCAA tournament game in the first round. The Mustangs defeated Neumann 3-0. In the second round, the Mustangs fell to the nation's 22nd-ranked team, Eastern — a team the Mustangs had defeated during the regular season when Eastern was ranked 19th.
Miller's awards
Miller was selected to the Commonwealth Conference All-Conference Second Team for the 2012 season and received Honorable Mention on the All-Region Team.
She was also honored with the following conference, regional, and national awards following her outstanding performance Sept. 23-29:
• Commonwealth Conference Volleyball Player of the Week;
• Eastern College Athletic Conference Volleyball Player of the Week for Division III — South;
• American Volleyball Coaches Association Division III National Player of the Week, sponsored by Sports Imports. This was the first time an athlete from Stevenson University earned the Division III national award in the 19-year history of the school's volleyball program.
During the week, Miller helped the Mustangs upset 19th-ranked Eastern, while taking 9th-ranked SUNY Cortland to five sets, as part of a 4-1 week.
After defeating Johns Hopkins on their home court Sept. 25, Stevenson matched up with SUNY Cortland. Miller had a career-high 16 kills while hitting at a .542 percentage in the five-set loss.
Stevenson went on to defeat FDU-Florham 3-0 and then Grove City 3-0 when Miller set a career high with five blocks.
Then the Mustangs faced Eastern, when Miller nailed 15 kills and hit at a .565 percentage in the five-set victory. She also tied her career-high in blocks with five.

Jacoby Ellsbury followed with a two-run homer into the Boston bullpen (he also singled, stole a base and tripled, but, with a chance for the cycle, was left in the on-deck circle in the eighth). Julio Lugo and Dustin Pedroia both doubled and the Red Sox led 4-0.
Toronto answered in the top of the fifth. Aaron Hill singled and, with one out, John McDonald walked. After Vernon Wells fouled out, Matt Stairs cracked a three-run home run to right and the lead was down to 4-3.
Frank Thomas singled to start the Blue Jays sixth, but he was the last Toronto base runner of the night. (He was erased on a double play.) Kevin Youkilis's solo shot to dead center in the eighth was a little insurance.
Beckett was at 84 pitches through five innings -- and it was questionable as to whether Jeemer and Bot were available tonight. But Beckett got the Jays on 13 pitches in the sixth (97), 10 in the seventh (107), and 10 in the eighth (117). Papelbon pitched the ninth -- retiring the Jays in order on nine pitches (F9, 4-3, K looking).
Both starters faced more than 30 batters and threw more 117 pitches (I don't think the Sox have been involved in such a game this year):
IP H R ER BB K BF PITIn the Bronx, a seven-run seventh helped the Yankees beat Seattle 12-3. Boston stays 7 GA in the East, while in the wild card, New York is 2 GA of Seattle and 3.5 GA of Detroit.
Beckett 8 5 3 3 2 7 30 117 W 17-6

LONGMONT -- The city's mosquito contractor proceeded on Friday night with an emergency citywide spraying operation intended to reduce the risk of humans being bitten and exposed to West Nile virus.
Colorado Mosquito Control Inc., using as many as nine trucks equipped with ultra-low-volume pesticide fogging devices, began the spraying at about 9 p.m., starting with neighborhoods within city limits but on the inside edges of the city's boundaries.
The spraying was expected to be completed by 2 a.m. today.
Dan Wolford, the city's land program administrator, said on Friday afternoon that accommodations had been made to delay the trucks showing up in downtown Longmont before 10 o'clock Friday night. This month's downtown ArtWalk was scheduled for 6:30 to 9 p.m., and post-ArtWalk cleanup work was expected to last until about 10.
Wolford said spraying also was to be delayed for the city streets near Garden Acres Park, 2058 Spencer St., until after a softball tournament there that was expected to conclude about 10:30 p.m. Friday.
A second follow-up citywide spraying effort has tentatively been scheduled for 9 p.m. Monday through 2 a.m. Tuesday. The decision whether to proceed with Monday night's spraying will depend on the numbers of still-alive mosquitoes captured on Sunday and collected from traps at 11 locations throughout Longmont.
Boulder County, meanwhile, had its mosquito control contractor, OtterTail Environmental Inc., proceed with the Thursday night spraying of the Boulder County Fairgrounds northeast of Hover Street and Nelson Road, as well as about a one-mile-wide buffer of unincorporated areas outside Longmont's southern, western and northern boundaries.
Both the county's and the city's contractors are spraying Aqualuer 20-20, a permethrin-based pesticide. City officials have said that while permethrin poses minimal threat to humans and animals -- at the levels being sprayed and the fogging process used to spray the mist -- people could take additional precautions by staying indoors and keeping their pets inside, while the spraying is underway.
The city advised people to close their windows and turn off window-unit air conditioners when spraying is taking place in their neighborhood. Officials said people shouldn't let children play near or behind the truck-mounted applicators, and should consult their own physicians for additional precautions if those people or members of their families suffer from chemical sensitivities or feel spraying might aggravate a pre-existing health condition.
Earlier this week, based on the results of the past two weeks of sampling mosquitoes captured in Longmont traps, Boulder County Public Health recommended that the city conduct the emergency spraying operation.
A number of Longmont residents have raised concerns about the spraying and the impact the chemicals in the pesticide could have on health of people, pets, honeybees, other insects and animals, and the effects on the environment.
Chana Goussetis, a spokeswoman for the county health department, said in an email Friday that "we understand the concern about mosquito spraying and take the decision to spray very seriously. Mosquito spraying uses an ultra-low-volume mist at levels set to be toxic to mosquitoes and not humans."
County officials said more information about West Nile virus, mosquito control, and the testing and safety of the pesticide being used is available online through links on BoulderCountyMosquito.net.

Over the past decade, stepped-up environmental initiatives have led to increased federal regulation of utilities, presenting challenges for metal producers whose core business relies on a steady supply of electricity. In response to these policies, as well as increased pressure from international competition, mills and the associations that represent them have taken a two-pronged approach to securing their access to affordable, uninterrupted electricity: advocating for federal policy reform, and working to develop new technologies designed to reduce reliance on utilities.
Brett Smith, senior director of government relations at the American Iron and Steel Institute, said that the steel industry has increased its efforts to advocate for policies that would ensure a reliable supply of affordable electricity. These efforts, Smith said, have become increasingly difficult to advocate, largely because of new emissions standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency for domestic utility companies. The EPA is in a position now of either proposing or currently regulating the utilities themselves for their emissionsÑwhether those emissions fall under the Utility MACT (maximum achievable control technology) regulation or the Cross State Air Pollution Rule, he said. Those regulations and the cost of those regulations and the risks associated with them are oftentimes, if not always, passed on to the large industrial customers like steel facilities.
Whats more, Smith believes that coal-fired utilities and production facilities reliant on their electricity will begin to face challenges as a result of increased government oversight over the next 12 months. In a report to the House of Representatives, the AISI indicated that these regulations would negatively impact the steel industry either through direct impact on its use of coal or through the consequences on the coal-fired utilities from whom the industry purchases electricity.
Charles Johnson, vice president of environment, health and safety at the Aluminum Association, was not as concerned about the threat of increased energy costs as a result of stricter emissions standards. Our basic platform when it comes to electricity production in the U.S. is that we need reasonably priced and predictably priced electricity in order to continue production and thrive as producers in North America. We are sensitive to the fact that there is a lot of regulation that is ongoing and proposed dealing with coal-powered electricity production. However, the majority of the electricity we utilize is hydroelectric, and so our position on electricity policy is somewhat nuanced.
In an effort to further clarify its nuanced position, the Aluminum Association followed up with an official statement detailing the associations stance regarding electricity policy. Overly simplified regulations that do not account for previous, market-driven energy efficiency will only result in the loss of economic growth and destabilize the economic recovery, increasing unemployment and outsourcing.
In addition to concerns about future access and costs resulting from increased federal regulations, domestic manufacturers are in direct competition with Chinese metal companies, which according to an AISI report have been receiving generous energy subsidies from the Chinese government. The domestic (steel) industry is subject to substantial international competition, often from nations such as China, where industry is largely state-owned, controlled, and subsidized, the report said. The Department of Commerce determined in two recent cases that Chinese steel pipe producers were receiving below-market rates for electricity, which constitutes a subsidy. U.S. policies that raise the cost of coal for domestic companies threaten the industrys ability to remain competitive internationally.
In response to these subsidies, Commerce Department officials are preparing an extensive report, scheduled to be published by the end of the year, which will detail findings on Chinese energy subsidies and their subsequent benefits to affiliated companies in the United States. Moreover, the European Union, in response to its own Chinese subsidy findings, launched an investigation into whether Chinese steel producers had received energy subsidies to undermine international competition.
In an attempt to become more self-reliant--and subsequently less vulnerable to issues related to policy, emissions regulation and international competitionÑmany domestic companies, particularly those using electric-arc furnaces, have been exploring self-generation and heat-recapture options. Short of operating on-site hydroelectric or coal-fired power plants, a number of steel manufacturers are using innovative systems designed to integrate the by-products of steel production.
What a lot of companies do--and this is on both sides of the industry--is integrate process gases, capture them and use them to fuel boilers which then goes to producing electricity, Smith said. In 2010, the steel industry consumed 45.7 billion kilowatt-hours of energy, accounting for nearly 20 percent of manufacturing costs, he said. Reducing energy usage by even a fraction of a percentage would translate into millions of dollars in savings for the steel industry as a whole. Our industry is a third more efficient than it was two decades ago, and a lot of that is due to how we use energy and how we use resources in producing steel, Smith said.
While the steel industry appears enthusiastic about exploring new and innovative options for self-generation, the aluminum industry is somewhat less positive about the possibilities of on-site generation. The aluminum industry, in general, in North America has been down the road of self-generation and is not really exploring that as a viable option in the U.S. at this time, Johnson said. The industry has done a really good job of increasing energy efficiency in the last couple of decades. We have processes and good relations where we produce, so self-generation doesnt seem to be an area we need to focus on at this time.
However, Johnson pointed out that new aluminum production technologies have successfully reduced overall electricity consumption. There is incremental change that is happening all the time in the aluminum industry, he said. For instance, we have been exceedingly successful in reducing our PFC (perfluorocarbon) emissions from primary aluminum, and a lesser-known fact is that greenhouse gas reduction resulted from an efficiency increase in our primary aluminum facilities.
The aluminum industry has reduced primary energy demand by 17 percent since 1991 through new technologies and innovative production processes, according to Johnson, and it continues to make incremental changes to reduce energy consumption.
Even though many international aluminum companies are seeking power strategy consultation from firms such as Fairfield, Conn.-based General Electric Co., Johnson said that the domestic aluminum industry is focusing its attention less on the generation source and more on the legislative initiatives facing the production of electricity. Energy costs are a negotiated cost, he said, and in pure terms of economics, those costs are influenced more by legislation than regulation and by demand.
Advocating for a more-nuanced legislative package that promotes reliable energy production is at the top of the Aluminum Associations list of priorities. For instance, our association is actively promoting our recycling processes as an energy-efficiency initiative that should be recognized in future legislation with energy efficiency or carbon policy, Johnson said. In a future world in which energy efficiency is recognized and promoted through legislation and regulation and in which carbon policy is becoming more important, we believe that the secondary benefits of aluminum useÑspecifically that it takes only 5 percent of the energy to produce it the second timeÑshould be recognized in those regulatory solutions.
It is well understood that the metals industry as a whole will continue to rely heavily on the utility companies that produce electricity. It also seems feasible that other energy options, especially those using large amounts of fossil fuel, may one day be difficult to utilize because of increasingly stringent environmental regulations. Representatives from various metal industries have said repeatedly that the primary issues facing electricity usage in the metals sector are generally not associated with negotiating lower rates with individual utilities, but rather advocating for better legislation that will allow utilities to deliver affordable, reliable electricity for decades to come.

EDIT: THIS IS ONE OF MY VERY FIRST POSTS I cant be responsible for what it says
Hi everyone,
I am looking at a new gun, one that is good out of box but VERY customizable so I dont have to buy another gun. Right now im looking at the basic autococker and the minimag. I know many of the great features of a minimag but not so much of the autococker besides its complex. I know the autococker has to be good in some ways too. I am afraid of complexity, but I need to know if that is a serious problem or not. I love the minimag, but I also, for some reason like the autococker (they must be brainwashing me while I sleep). I'm going to buy one or another so I need help PLEASE, REAL help and not just saying "MINIMAG" because you all own mags and autocockers are evil. Which one is truely better? Whats this timing thing about on autocockers? Do things really break easily on autocockers? Which is better PLEASE
Thanks ahead of time

What: The following roads were closed as of 4 p.m. due to today's snowstorm, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation:
Interstate 70 between Airpark and Burlington
U.S. 24 between Limon and Calhan
U.S. 40 between Limon and Kit Carson
Northbound Colo. 71 between Limon and Brush
U.S. 385 between Burlington and Idalia
Colo. 86 between Kiowa and Limon
Westbound I-70 at Mt. Vernon Canyon, due to multiple accidents
It wasn't the mini-blizzard forecasters were originally expecting, but Boulder did get a solid dose of heavy wet snow today.
While 5.1 inches was measured at the Boulder climate station, most areas of the city saw between 3 and 4 inches of new snow accumulate thanks to the winter storm that moved into the Front Range overnight, according to local meteorologist Matt Kelsch.
While the storm hit the eastern plains with more force, closing some roads and delaying numerous flights at Denver International Airport, locally it was a far cry from the 6 to 12 inches called for in a winter storm warning that was issued by the National Weather Service on Friday. Kelsch attributed the lower than expected accumulation to winds mostly coming out of the north, instead of the easterly winds needed to push the storm against the Front Range, and the snowfall starting later than anticipated.
"We didn't have as much of an easterly component--the upslope we call it--and it happened during the day," Kelsch said. "The melting was keeping pace with the snow. If it had started six hours earlier it wouldn't have melted as much during the day."
The snow had stopped by 5:30 p.m. in Boulder, and Kelsch said he did not expect to start again.
Many Boulder resident this morning said they welcomed and enjoyed the snowfall.
"It's like a snow globe town -- almost too perfect to be real," 23-year-old Scott Posilkin said. "There is nothing like a quiet and meditative hike up Sanitas in a blizzard."
Resident Amy Boyd, 40, echoed those sentiments, and said she was happy that Colorado was getting some much-needed moisture.
"We were expecting it. I don't want the fires in the summers," Boyd said. "This is awesome. It's why I live here. It's gorgeous."
The skies are expected to clear gradual after sundown, allowing the temperature to drop down to a low around 15 degrees overnight, according to the National Weather Service.
Nederland got hit much harder than Boulder, receiving nearly a foot of new snow today, according to measurements taken by residents. The big snowfall put a bit of a damper on the second day of the town's annual Frozen Dead Guy Days festival after weather-related car accidents this morning in Boulder Canyon temporarily shut down the main access road many people use to get up to Nederland.
Festival owner/organizer Amanda MacDonald said the event's Parade of Hearses, Coffin Races and Polar Plunge have all be rescheduled for Sunday, the third and final Frozen Dead Guy Day.
Despite today's heavy snows, MacDonald said a surprising number of people--as many as 4,000--attended the festival's second day, leading to a "mini Coffin Race" because so many race teams braved the weather to make it into town.
"It was Nederland dealing with the weather and we had a great day," she said, noting Sunday should be even better.
Sunday is expected to be sunny with a high near 40, while Monday could see a high in the low 50s.
Tuesday through Thursday may provide Boulder with a taste of spring as the weather service is calling for highs near or above 60 degrees.

Longmont voters in November will be asked to extend a three-quarter-cent sales tax to fund its street maintenance and improvement programs.
The sales and use tax was first put into effect by voters in 1986 and has been extended the previous five times it has come up for a vote, most recently in the 2009 election, when it was approved by 62 percent of the voters at the height of the Great Recession.
"Basically any improvements that have been made to the city's streets since 1986 has been paid for by this," Nick Wolfrum, the city's engineering services manager, told the Longmont City Council Tuesday night at its regular session meeting.
He said that out of Longmont's sales tax of 3.275 percent, 0.75 cents goes to the street fund, a figure that is near the lowest in comparison with surrounding Front Range communities.
The money goes for everything from signal lights to lane markings to bicycle lanes to pedestrian improvements and school crossings, Wolfrum said.
"The fund this tax generates is critical to the city," he said.
The only difference in the extension the city will ask for this year is it's a 10-year extension instead of a 5-year one. That will will allow for longer-term planning by city staff as it works to coordinate future plans with other entities such as the Colorado Department of Transportation, Wolfrum said.
Councilman Gabe Santos has been one of those in favor of making it a 10-year extension, and he said it will not only allow for longer-term planning but also for planning better projects.
Councilwoman Sarah Levison applauded the work of sidewalks being put in along what had been a dangerous stretch of Ninth Avenue, and she noted that this tax is what helps fund projects like that.
"I do like to see those signs that have already started popping up," Levison said, referring to city signs noting where street improvements are being made.
The current street tax expires Dec. 31, 2016, so if voters approve the extension it will keep it in place through the end of 2026.
In other business, the Longmont City Council, acting as the Longmont Urban Renewal Authority, voted to allocate $250,000 of the money it is contributing to the redevelopment of Twin Peaks Mall into Village at the Peaks to fund the hiring of a consulting firm that will act as the city's "eyes and ears" on the redevelopment.
"It is a selection of a firm, rather than an individual," Wolfrum said. "We thought that was the most cost-effective way to manage this project."
Acting as the "owner's rep," as city finance director Jim Golden put it to the council, the firm will be responsible for things such as making sure no corners are cut on construction, that permits go through city process as required and that timetables are adhered to.
The quarter million dollars had already been included in the city's portion of the nearly $90 million redevelopment, but it not been formally allocated for this purpose until Tuesday night's vote.
