I would like to see this article re-written. Its quite confusing. I think there are a lot of unnecessary details, and way too many 1-sentence paragraphs. It reads like a legal brief. On the positive side, it gives all the details.

How is it that a trio allegedly intelligent people could screw up a contract like this as much as they did? Clearly they both have lawyers, where were they when these contracts were being drawn up and modified? It's hard to have much sympathy for either case here, the obscenely wealthy vs the luxury builder...

I'm there w/you, Waldo. The attorneys clearly made a lot of $$ off of this. What a waste of time/energy/$$ for those involved, & there was a lot at stake.
Money is always a problem- there's either not enough, enough but you still have to deal with it, or you have a lot & then have to pay others to manage it & at the higher stakes, be careful of problems like these. It's how you are about money that makes the difference, imo. Having an estate is a *huge* responsibility - not an issue that I have, but I've had friends who've had to deal w/buying an estate, then running it. I can see how easy it is to get caught up in protecting one's wealth/$$/investment & before you know it, there's a huge lawsuit. Ugh.

Another mish mash of an article. Either the author does not understand what happened or lacks the ability to describe the situation in a clear and meaningful way. I suspect the latter.
The takeaway: get everything in writing, and avoid lawyers as much as possible.

Working for the rich sucks. Fair minded people take the jobs and the rich look for a way to screw them and get something for nothing every time. Good thing I believe in karma. (okay, i admit there are exceptions but they are very limited.)

I work for a sub-contractor who has done jobs for Vance Brown in the past. They are an honest company with a solid reputation. While the article is a bit difficult to understand, it certainly sounds to me like the clients, the Drazens, were trying to figure out ways to get something for nothing. Hope Vance Brown gets every dime!
And for those commenters who seem to say "a plague on both their houses" I would say this: I work for an honest company that bends over backwards to make sure the client is very happy with the work. From what I know of Vance Brown, they operate the same way. Some people seem to want to always point fingers at contractors. We are real people, hiring workers in California, and, many of us, trying to keep going in a difficult economy.

Interesting article. It does read like a legal brief a bit, but then it is giving the legal procedural history of the case, which it does quite well I thought. It sounds like the Drazens just got too emotionally involved in the case, to their eventual financial detriment. Sometimes it is better to settle, even if you feel you are in the right!

I think this article is newsworthy and I read all the way through with interest. Some people have a need to feel powerful, which includes the pleasure of outwitting others to get something for nothing. In some areas of work success is measured by how much money you can make at the expense of others, being ethical not a consideration. How does Mr. Drazon make his money again?

I think its great the the Drazens are supporting our local economy by putting money into the pockets of a bunch of lawyers and ultimately Vance Brown Co. What might have only been a $450,000 stimulus package has become an $11 million package. Kudos. Also, for proving the efficacy of the courts and their ability to get it done right. The system works!

"It made little sense that the Drazans refused to pay for their changes in 2004, and it made even less sense for the Drazans to make us chase them in court for the past seven years. What could have been settled in 2004 for $459,000 has cost Jeff and Stacy Drazan over $11 million in after-tax dollars," said Loren Brown, president of Vance Brown.
Jeff Drazan is currently managing partner at Bertram Capital. He was previously managing director of Sierra Ventures. The Drazans could not be reached for comment, and their attorney in the appeals case did not return requests for comment.
I would not put my "Capital" with someone who went out of their way to screw a contractor and then play hardball by dragging it out for-EVER! The Vance Brown Co. deserves to prevail against such ruthless, Power-hungry control freaks. I have heard that some contractors refuse to do ANY extras unless a new contract or addendum is IN WRITING. That may not have helped in the case since they thought scribbles in the margins were "putting it in writing". "Frog Creek's attorney suggested various changes to the proposed contract, which included elimination of a $50,000 cap on disputes subject to arbitration. Both sides agreed to most of the changes. Frog Creek then made additional handwritten notations on a typed version of the contract. The changes included upping a $1.05-million landscaping and irrigation estimated budget to $1.3 million. Jeff Drazan signed this version in December....But Vance Brown signed a separate "clean" version of the contract without the notations. The contractor's version did not include the $1.3 million landscaping change. The terms for dispute resolution, arbitration and attorney-fee provisions in both versions were identical, the court noted."
Frog Creek Partners "materially breached" the contract, the arbitrators said. The Drazans had failed to tell Vance Brown that the project's plans and specifications were incomplete prior to signing the agreement -- called "fast tracking." The contractor had based its estimate on the belief that plans were finalized, but the plans were still evolving even as Vance Brown was doing the work, the arbitrators noted. "The evidence showed that Mr. Drazan, the architects, and the engineers knew they were not final and were still in the process of being developed, but nobody told Vance Brown," the arbitrators wrote."

I agree with Silvia, Vance Brown is an honest company, as are most of the licensed contractors. There is a need for licensing and this dispute shows it. An unscrupulous contractor, seeing which the wind was blowing, would have buried the owner under a blizzard of change orders. Brown apparently tried good face negotiation and got shat on. Such is the reward of good face.
This was a contest of attorneys. As is often said, only the lawyers get rich.

Reading the article, I was coming to the conclusion Mr. Drazen works for Bain Capital, but then one VC company's ethics are much like anothers ethics. Such a shame that people can't get filthy rich without screwing over the little guy. Good luck to Mr. Vance. I hope he gets every nickel.

Thank you to those that provided positive comments regarding Vance Brown. Admittedly, we made a mistake allowing ourselves to get involved with Jeff Drazan in the first place. We missed seeing an article written in 1999 by the SF Chronicle that prominently featured Mr. Drazan - do an internet search on "Drazan Double-Crossed" to view the article. Over the years, Mr Drazan has been involved in at least 18 lawsuits stretching from Florida to New York to LA to the SF Bay Area (i.e. he is seemingly no stranger to the legal process). In our situation, were were faced with losing $2 million that we couldn't collect from the Drazans through normal means OR fighting our way out of the situation via the legal process. We knew we were right in taking the position that we did. We stood up for what we believed in, never gave in and hung on for 7 years through a very long and costly legal battle to be made whole.

I think the Drazans should consider themselves lucky that this dispute went to arbitration rather than a jury trial. Do they really not realize how reprehensible their behavior was? Their attorney wanted a jury trial? Does he honestly believe that his clients appear to be the wronged party in this case? They knowingly fast-tracked without letting their contractor know (leaving him to bid on incomplete plans), made changes but didn't expect to pay for them and underpaid the contractor by one million dollars. Put me on that jury and I'd vote for punitive damages on top of the award.

1. This article should be required reading in business 101.
2. Refusing to pay $459,00. 'Thinking--I've always got my way!'
Then forking out 11 million. Ouch!
3. I've never understood greedy rich people.
4. I'm so glad I never married one.
5. Oh yea--you can spot greedy people early on. It's the little
things--like cheap Christmas gifts, and thinking success is making

Prospect McHugh set to make debut Thursday
Right-hander, an 18th-rounder in '08, up from Triple-A Buffalo
By Anthony DiComo / MLB.com
Though McHugh will make his big league debut when he subs for the injured Johan Santana on Thursday, his last outing came at Fenway Park against Triple-A Pawtucket in the Red Sox's annual prospect showcase. All McHugh did was fire seven shutout innings, marking the second straight year he has submitted a scoreless outing at Fenway.
"It is nice," said McHugh, a right-handed pitcher. "When I went there last year, I was a little bit in awe. This year I got to go, and I felt like you had been there before. Obviously it's not a big league game, but it is a pretty storied big league ballpark and it was pretty fun. Hopefully it translates well."
McHugh's arsenal has certainly translated well as he has climbed the organizational ladder, working his way from an 18th-round pick in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft all the way to the Majors. Unlike top prospect Matt Harvey, who jetted through the farm system at rocket speed, McHugh took a scenic route spanning five years and six Minor League affiliates.
If the Mets did not consider him a legitimate prospect before this season, that changed when McHugh went 5-5 with a 2.41 ERA over 12 starts to open the year for Double-A Binghamton. That performance landed him at Triple-A Buffalo, where he struggled briefly before going 2-2 with a 2.45 ERA, 52 strikeouts and 19 walks over his final nine starts.
"I've seen every stop that the Mets have to offer," McHugh said. "They do a good job of developing. It doesn't really matter if you're a first-rounder or a 35th-rounder, they take a lot of pride in you as an organizational piece."
Nieuwenhuis to rest foot injury, miss rest of year
NEW YORK -- Johan Santana is not the only Mets player out for the season.
Outfielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis, who starred early in his rookie campaign with the Mets, will not play again this year in an effort to rest the partially torn plantar fascia in his right foot. Doctors in New York prescribed the period of rest for Nieuwenhuis, who initially tried to rehab his injury in Florida.
Nieuwenhuis injured his foot running up the first-base line Aug. 3 in his fourth game back with Triple-A Buffalo, mere days after the Mets optioned the scuffling outfielder. Though he garnered early National League Rookie of the Year consideration for his .297 average, six home runs and superlative outfield defense through June 15, Nieuwenhuis batted.123 with one home run after that date, striking out in more than 44 percent of his plate appearances.
As a result, the Mets sent him back to Buffalo, where his season came to a premature end.

Each year, for the past several years, camcorders have been among the largest categories of products sold in the consumer electronics market. Much of that product is sold during the fourth quarter, but even in a challenging economy there are more and more reasons for buying camcorders all year long. Reasons include becoming a first-time parent, a desire to create videos for social networking sites, going away on a vacation, or just taking advantage of exciting new camcorder features that are often introduced in the first quarter.
This year, sales of digital cameras and HD camcorders are expected to remain strong, as these products proliferate in the market and more manufacturers continue to introduce special-purpose and uniquely featured camcorder models.
Video content is the way more and more people are communicating, and that reality is expected to increase as streaming video technology continues to make it easier to upload and view video online, and social networking relies ever-more heavily on video to "connect" with audiences. As the video medium grows, so do the number of manufacturers entering this space, and so does the need to understand consumer buying habits and trends. With this in mind, www.HDCameraGuide.com sent two of their reporters to talk with sales professionals at leading retailers in the New York area, including Best Buy, PC Richards, Sixth Avenue Electronics, Walmart, and Target.
While understanding why people buy is the job of sophisticated marketing experts, much of that knowledge really resides in the minds of the salespeople at the retail level who spend their time talking with consumers each and every day. Here, then, is what they had to say:
1.) It wasn't surprising to learn that many customers have a good idea of which camcorder they want to buy after researching it on the Internet. Consumers today are better educated than they were in the past, due to sites such as HDCameraGuide.com. Before shopping, these consumers typically spend time finding out the product that suits their general needs and budgets.
2.) With products ranging in all price levels, a number of sales people indicated that there is a trend toward consumers purchasing either entry-level or sophisticated products, as opposed to mid-priced models. They explained that with the growing trend to make your own movies for YouTube, Facebook, or other personal sites, many consumers are spending at the high range for the best camera they can buy, while others who just need a camera (and aren't looking for advanced features and functionality) simply want low price.
3.) In general, novice or beginner camera buyers tended to go for the easy-to-use camcorders from Canon, Flip, Kodak, Panasonic, Sony, and others. These are typically less feature-driven products, and provide just enough of what the "starting out" or buyer on a budget needs.
4.) Several salespeople noticed that Macintosh computer users tend to stick with Canon, JVC, and Panasonic. PC users, however, have a wider range of choices when it comes to compatibility. All-in-all, however, the most frequently requested manufacturers seem to be Canon, JVC, and Panasonic, and Sony.
5.) When the consumer has no idea about what they want, salespeople ask about their intended application or primary reason for buying the camcorder. In general, however, the reason for buying the camcorder is usually known, and therefore there is less of what retailers used to call "shopping around."
6.) The importance of the salesperson's advice or opinion also depended on how much online research the consumer had already done before walking into the store. In general, if the purchase was only about price, consumers were tending toward the under-$250 camcorders. If it was about features, they wanted to see higher-end product.
7.) All of the salespeople we interviewed agreed that customers were getting smarter. They agreed that in general it was important for consumers to do research before even entering a store. There is plenty of information available on the Internet, which can help protect first-time camcorder buyers from making avoidable mistakes when purchasing a camcorder. This information also has the potential to provide the "experts" with the information they need to achieve their aspirations of becoming the "next Steven Spielberg."
8.) One of the salespeople felt that a smarter consumer made it easier for him to do his job. That's because consumers who walk into a store cold and see all the camcorder choices available often walk out overwhelmed but without a camcorder in their hands.

Deduno headed from Twins to Astros on waiver claim
By Rhett Bollinger / MLB.com
BALTIMORE -- Right-hander Samuel Deduno was claimed by the Astros from the Twins on outright waivers on Saturday, both clubs announced. The Twins will select the contract of left-hander Aaron Thompson from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday to take Deduno's spot on the roster.
Deduno, 31, pitched mostly in long relief for the Twins this season, making eight starts and 22 relief appearances. The right-hander posted a 4.60 ERA with 74 strikeouts, 41 walks and nine homers allowed in 92 innings. He's fared better as a reliever this season with a 3.21 ERA in 53 1/3 innings compared to a 6.52 ERA in 38 2/3 innings as a starter.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said Deduno was informed of the move at the team hotel before Saturday's game against the Orioles.
"He's a classy kid," Gardenhire said. "I just explained to him that if you get picked up on waivers it means somebody wants you. But as he relayed to us, he liked it here and was sad to move on."
Deduno previously served as a starter for the Twins in 2012 and '13, making 15 starts in '12 and 18 last season. His best season came last year, when he went 8-8 with a 3.83 ERA.
He's suffered from control problems throughout his career, but he has cut down his walk rate in recent years. He walked six batters per nine innings in 2012, but he reduced that to 3.4 per nine in '13 and four per nine this year.
Deduno, a native of the Dominican Republic, originally joined the Twins as a Minor League free agent before the 2011 season. He has a career 4.24 ERA with 205 strikeouts, 139 walks and 27 homers in 284 2/3 innings with the Rockies, Padres and Twins. Deduno, who is out of Minor League options, will be eligible for arbitration after next season.
Thompson, meanwhile, had a 3.98 ERA in 46 appearances with Rochester. The left-hander struck out 51 and walked 26 in 52 innings. The Twins now have 38 players on the 40-man roster with his addition.
"We talked about a lefty who could get lefties out," Gardenhire said. "He had a pretty good year down there. He can spin the ball so I think that outweighed the other stuff against other pitchers. Our lefties have had some troubles."
To make room for Deduno, the Astros moved reliever Josh Zeid to the 60-day disabled list.

Growing up snowboarder.
Mikey Rencz learned humility at a young age. Younger sibling to a brother five years his senior, Mikey was repeatedly chastised if he ever appeared to be getting "too cocky." Soft-spoken and respectful, Mikey moved to Whistler from his hometown of Canmore, Alberta when he was thirteen to pursue a life in snowboarding. At eighteen, Mikey has already been a professional snowboarder for four years. With a standout part in the Defective Films 2004 movie, Promo Copy, he shows no signs of slowing down.-Pete Anderson
What kind of snowboard travel have you done during the past couple of years?
I've been to (ellipsis) wow, lots of places. I went to Argentina, Japan, all over Europe and the States, Australia. I don't know, lots of places (laughing).
What stands out most from all your traveling?
I really liked Japan. I went over there when I was a lot younger.
Hold on. What's "a lot younger" than the ripe old age of eighteen?
(Laughing) I was like twelve when I went there. I was riding in a contest with Terje and all those dudes. It was pretty fun. It was amazing. It was one of my first times riding with all the people I looked up to growing up.
You mean literally looked up to because you were only twelve years old and three feet tall?
(Laughing) Yeah, exactly.
How is it trying to balance all of the traveling and riding while going to school at the same time?
It's pretty easy. It just gets a little stressful sometimes when you always have two major things on your mind. I've been really lucky, too. My teachers have been great, and they're always helping me out. There used to be a lot of ski racers that went to school in Whistler, so the school is kind of set up for people who travel a lot. That's one of the reasons why my mom and I moved to Whistler. They used to have a better program for students like me, but they canceled it recently, so now I have to go to full-blown school. It's working out okay, I guess.
What are some of the things that you know now that you wish you had a better handle on two years ago?
Well, I have definitely figured out that correspondence courses are not for me. (Laughing) I had a class last year that I had all summer to finish, but I didn't do any of it. So when the fall rolled around, I phoned to find out how much time I had left to finish the assignments and they told me that I'd already missed the deadline.
You had a little trouble concentrating on school when you weren't in a classroom?
Yeah. It's not that easy. I never did it.
So you've been traveling and working as a snowboarder since you were eleven. Do you feel good about your snowboarding or are you getting jaded?
No way, I'm feeling better then ever. I'm feeling really confident in the backcountry. I definitely feel like I have a lot more room to grow, too. So are you looking forward to doing this far into the future?
Oh yeah, big time.
Mikey proudly rides for Burton, Electric, Gravis, 2mc, Neff, and The Circle.

I have been going in circles, on this, I did modify the premissions, ( I think) when I saved the file, but it still dose not display the Hello World , like it should, just a "window" appears, very briefly, but blank, dose not display anything,
This is the full path , where I have made the file and am "working" or experimenting:
hello_world being the file name,/home/garry/playground/hello_world
I used the "right click" on the mouse and file, for properties, and set the permissions as executable, or dose this also have to be in the script itself ?, or done from the command line, seperately ?,..
Ok, I know this may seem redicules, to some people,..probabley some of the more intelligent youngsters,even a 3rd or 4th grade student, may be able to "grasp" these things, quickly and easy, I am kind of "slow", at many things,and some times it is a struggle,..That would be a whole other subject,..so I won't go into details, if anyone is willing to, and can explain, a little more, that will be appreciated,..if someone just wants to "insult" me, ...I don't know in english, but in spanish, "ni modo",..I guess "no matter" or "don't care", I am used to that,..being called stupid,...or "stupid idiot!",..in fact back when I was a truck driver, that was my CB handle,..."Stupid Donkey",..cause I am also slow and stubborn,...

Tribunal De Grande Instance
The competition winning entry for the Tribunal de Grande Instance (the complex of law courts) is situated in the heart of the historic core of Bordeaux, near the Cathedral and Town Hall.
The building is an assemblage of distinct legible elements. The ways in which the Law Courts function as an institution are made visible and, in keeping with this philosophy, the methods of construction are equally clearly expressed. Junctions between materials are treated in such a way as to articulate the fabrication and sequences of erection.
Facing the Cathedral, the new building's silhouette echoes the latter's Gothic profile, its materials sympathetic to those of surrounding buildings. Public access to the lawcourt building is via a grand stairway over a water pool, leading to the piano mobile of the Salle des Pas Perdus, the large glazed public ambulatory linking the courtrooms. The seven courtrooms are tapering in section and rounded in plan, their forms echoing the mass of the adjoining medieval towers.
The courts sit on a stone-clad plinth and are supported by concrete bases that echo the fluid forms of the timber-clad volumes above. A light-weight steel roof structure supports an undulating copper-clad roof plane. The shape of the courtrooms encourages the natural ventilation of these focused and protected spaces.
Air at low velocity is provided at the occupied base of the volume and making use of the stack-effect, evacuates through openings in the lee of the top of the court as it protrudes through the roof. A large ocular roof-light provides controlled natural daylight to the space. A variety of perforations providing acoustic absorption and reflection are tuned to ensure the clarity of the spoken-word.
An understated, modular, anodized aluminum facade wraps around the support accommodation block, tempered by a variety of brise-soleils and set-backs. The concrete floor-plates support the flexible office accommodation and are connected by vertical cores organized in three strips.
Glass floors to the lifts, bridges and walkways that animate the atrium void allow natural light to permeate deep into the building. Outside, flame-finished limestone floors run right across the site footprint and into the building, providing strong visual links between the interior and exterior areas of public domain.
An atrium divides the public space from the five-storey wing housing offices for the judges, magistrates and their support staff, visually the boundary between "served" and "server". Judges enter the courtrooms via open bridges across the atrium from their offices, while members of the public use the gallery at the front of the Salle des Pas Perdus. The legibility of vertical circulation is a direct expression of the various judicial processes housed within the building.
The wooden courtrooms combine high-tech with traditional construction methods. In order to shape the laminated timber beam structure, the geometry of the courts was reduced to a simple mathematical equation. Recent developments in computerized machining were essential to the production of the complex curves and acoustic perforation of the internal maple-veneered panels.
This is in contrast to the hand-crafted exterior of the courts clad with western red cedar strips positioned by carpenter-artisans to marry the sweep of the skin of the envelope.
A concern for energy-efficient design informed all of the key decisions for the project. The orientation of the building on the site shields the vulnerable glazed spaces from unwanted insulation while maximizing the use of daylight. The office accommodation running along the Cours Albret also filters the noise from this busy thoroughfare.
The atrium that contains the Salle des Pas Perdus functions as a buffer to the noise and poor air quality of the surrounding urban environment. This stable reservoir of clean, tempered air is supplied via a specially-designed waterfall which cools and humidifies it. The water pool acts as a heat-sink and air passes through a heat-exchanger extracting air from the offices. The cycle is completed as supply air from the atrium is drawn into the office accommodation through the hollow ribs in the floor structure, making maximum use the thermal mass of the concrete and providing summer night-time cooling.

Aldermen voted unanimously in favor of offering the city's support to the program, which will be funded through federally funded bonds and a four-cent statewide diesel tax.
Mayor Bill Eaton said he was told if the city passed the resolution in support of the rehabilitation program, the Russellville area of I-40 would be one of the first places in the state to be repaired.
Alderman Garland Steuber said the interstate badly needed the repairs.
"It's the only section of I-40 from Oklahoma to Memphis that has never been repaired one time," he said.
Eaton agreed, and said the interstate was in a "sad state."
"Well it ought to be, because it's never been repaired," Steuber replied.
The Arkansas Valley Alliance for Economic Development has also issued its support of the interstate rehabilitation program, which will be implemented if passed by a statewide vote on Nov. 8. The special election will allow voters to authorize the Arkansas Highway Commission to issue bonds rehabilitating 300 miles of interstates in Arkansas.
"The bond issue will not require any new or increased taxes, and will be repaid by future federal funds and the existing four-cent state diesel tax passed in 1999 for this purpose," a press release issued by the city of Russellville on Friday stated.
Eaton issued a statement in support of the measure.
"Our interstate system is the pillar of our state's economy and we owe it to Arkansans to have safe, well-maintained interstates," he said. "Not only that, but we can put over 25,000 (people) to work revitalizing these roads. I hope people see the importance of this issue and vote 'Yes' on Nov. 8."
Although repairs and maintenance to I-40 are handled by the federal and state highway authorities, the city also has big plans for its city streets in 2012. Look for more information about planned Public Works projects in Sunday's edition of The Courier.

So, I base the question on this passage from the Dirgha Nikaya (that's Digha for you Theravadis! )
Buddha also said in the Sundarika Bharadavaja sutta (SN 3.4), that he was a counsellor and went around the world!There are various kinds of assemblies, O Ananda; assemblies of nobles, of Brahmans, of householders, of bhikkhus and of other beings.
When I used to enter an assembly, I always became, before I seated myself, in color like unto the color of my audience and in voice like unto their voice. I spoke unto them in their language and then with religious discourse, I instructed, quickened, and gladdened them.
But when I spoke, they knew me not and would say, Who may this be who thus speaks, a man or a god?
Then having instructed, quickened, and gladdened them with religious discourse, I would vanish away. But they knew me not, even when I vanished away
So which teachings do you think are Buddha's???

The Kitchener Rangers of the OHL have taken legal action against a University of Michigan student newspaper and one of its reporters for publishing a story that alleged the team offered defenceman Jacob Trouba $200,000 to play for it.
A story that appeared in The Michigan Daily last week alleged that the Rangers tried to coax Trouba, a first-round draft pick of the Winnipeg Jets last month, out of a deal to play for the Michigan Wolverines.
The Rangers have now sued the newspaper and reporter Matt Slovin, according to the Waterloo Region Record.
"It's not a threat anymore," Rangers chief operating officer Steve Bienkowski told the Record Monday. "We served the newspaper and the writer there to either back it up or retract it."
The Rangers drafted Trouba two years ago but he declined to play, opting for the U.S. National Team Development Program instead. He has committed to Michigan but will lose his NCAA eligibility if he signs with the Jets.

Secondary Sources: Obama Tax Plan, Public Housing, Work Injuries
A roundup of economic news from around the Web.
–Obama Tax Plan: Donald Marron breaks down where the revenue come from in the president's tax proposal. "In his budget last February, President Obama proposed $1.56 trillion in tax increases. In round numbers: $1.6 trillion, sometimes misreported as $1.5 trillion. That figure includes the $968 billion noted above plus another $593 billion in tax increases. The largest of those, by far, is the president's proposal to limit the value of itemized deductions and certain exclusions for upper-income taxpayers. Under that proposal, upper-income taxpayers would benefit only 28 cents on the dollar for their charitable deductions, mortgage interest, employer-provided health insurance, etc., even if they are in the 36% or 39.6% tax brackets. That provision would raise $584 billion. The rest of his tax provisions, including both cuts and increases, then net out to just $9 billion. "
–Fiscal Cliff and Municipal Housing: Valerie White looks at the effect the fiscal cliff will have on public housing. "The federal government's activity in the housing market includes operational subsidies, rent subsidies, mortgage insurance, loan purchases, and loan securitization. Nearly all municipal housing transactions have at least one form of this support, so the impact of budget sequestration and tax increases on municipal housing would be multifaceted. For example, federal pullback in housing support would affect transaction volume and cause a reduction in municipal housing issuance even amid growing demand for affordable housing. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that higher taxes and reduced spending would result in a nearly 4% reduction in GDP, making way for another recession. We believe that homeowners and renters alike may experience the effects, but we cannot speculate on the level of the impact."
–Work Injuries: The Labor Department has a great chart the looks at workplace injuries and time away from work. "There were 1,181,290 nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses in 2011 that required days away from work to recuperate. The rate of nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses requiring days away from work was 117 incidents per 10,000 full-time workers in 2011, statistically unchanged from 2010. The median days away from work — a key measure of severity of injuries and illnesses — was 8 days in 2011, the same as the previous year."

Coalition Proves Mutually Beneficial
Over the following months, clergy and homosexual activists worked together to propose purpose, goals and activities for CRH. This coalition of clergy–almost all heterosexual–and homosexual leaders was proving to be mutually beneficial. Homosexual leaders received the "cloak of the cloth" (as described by San Francisco historian Paul Gabriel) to sanction their activities while clergy expanded their sphere of social justice ministry. Most of the homosexual activists in CRH were also leaders of the other homophile organizations, so the total number of people involved was small, no more than a few dozen. However, the significance of their impact belies their numbers.

First Swedish review (?) - Aftonbladet Bil
First Swedish review (?) - Aftonbladet Bil
Finally some attention in Swedish media, thanks por posting Björn. We need to shape this up, people over here does hardly know of tesla and if the know of it they think of the roadster. C'mon Swedes :).
I sent an email to göteborgs stad the other day and got a nice answer back thanking me for the letter and saying they do not receive very many letters regatding tesla and evs. I was asking about charging infrastructure in the city.
How many swedes are there in this forum by the way, hands up please.
We need to give this country a kick in the butt!! The norweigans will laught at us untill the end of times for driving veteran cars (ice), we don't want that do we..? ;)
@ OlaCarlander
Norwegians laughs at Swedes all the time ;-)
But seriously, the benefit in Norway is the non-tax/VAT situation we currently enjoy. In Sweden, car prices are in harmony with rest of the world more or less (except for poor Danes as car taxes in Denmark are simply insane) due to Volvo and Saab. The Tesla becomes a very pricy car, and lots of great brands to chose between. The same situation asGerman friends has described here earlier.
Here's one Swede, living outside of Uppsala. It's true, people know almost nothing about Tesla here, and ever since I made my reservation last summer I've found it very strange not being able to find a single word about the Model S in any Swedish media. I look forward to starting to spread the message in earnest myself once I've taken delivery of my P85+ in September :-)
Also a Swede. Also near G-burg (and Oslo). But I need to periodically go to Stockholm, which is just out of range (currently; let's await part 6 of Elon's five-part trilogy;) So I'm still saving up, partly in TSLA stock.
I actually had occasion to mention Tesla & the VAT situation to a local politician the other day, who was on his way to the party national congress. Well, we must do what little we can.
Another Swede here, located in Stockholm - The Capitol of Scandinavia (just could not resist that dear Norwegians).
Also read the article and I was really surprised by the fantastic review of the car - theonly complaint was about "noise" from the hard 21" rims and a bit low head space in the rear.
I am awaiting my, since already in 2009 ordered, Sig P85 in July - felt as a real early adopter (and a geek) then but it seems that the long wait will finally end this summer :-)
Geir, ha ha I know you do. But for a change you have a very good reason also ;)
The taxes thing is very true. Good point, I don't think we know how to tax electric cars quite yet in sweden come the day when people have an option for a GREAT car that is electric. We should at least match the $7,5k+ you get if in the U.S, at least. We will be caught off guard, just sayin.
Lessmog, for sure we need an SC between gbg and sthlm! Smart move with the stocks, doing the exact same :).
Svante and Joachim, congrats to a great car!! :) Jelaous!! Been testdriving it a few times in Chicago, it is truly an amazing car.
So you think we are only a handfull Swedes here?
@Ola: Not as many as our Norwegian brother folks, that's for sure! I saw a map some time ago.
I did put forward a few concrete suggestions on another thread,
http://www.teslamotors.com/forum/forums/where-would-you-see-tesla-set-su... which might be beneficial to travel in the triangle Oslo-Stockholm-Gothenburg and further south to Öresund straits and Teh Continent! Perhaps some points on E4 and E22 would strengthen the web. Also, northwards into skiing territory (Åre, Sälen etc) and the Norrland coast. But being self-interested, I stressed what would be essential for myself ;-)
But a bit more political canvassing is welcome. The nationalized car makers of France and the German colossus with foreign vassals will doubtless fight it, but us small nations may still gnaw at their ankles...
Here's yet another swede, living in Uppsala. I got the "time to build" email 5 weeks ago but haven't ordered the car yet. One reason for this is that I still haven't had a chance to test drive or even see the car for real yet. That will change next week when Tesla comes to Stockholm. I'm also waiting for the swedish tax authorities to set a tax value on the car, this will be ready in a few weeks. The swedish tax rules for the Tesla are actually quite good if you use it as a company car.
Yes, demand your lawmakers sweden the deal. >:) (For non-native English speakers, sounds like "sweeten" with a stuffed nose.)
Here is one more Swede. Living in Stockholm and I will get my Tesla aorund August / September.
@Bredell is Tesla comming to Stockholm??!! Where and when?
Nice, more swedes. And you are most welcome guest Brian H, not sure you know it but you have gothenburg humor (famous for playing with words) so we could count you as a swede easily. ;)
@Bredell Thanks for the tax update, I was wondering about when they were to decide that. Do you know the numbers, in the ballpark?
And to quote Martin: "is Tesla coming to Stockholm??!! Where and when?" A store or just for a show?
Tesla are coming to Stockholm on friday, May 31. They will be at the Connoisseur Car Day at Steninge Castle just outside of Stockholm. They've been participating in the car day every year but this is the first time they will show the Model S.
Tesla have been working with the swedish tax authorities for some time now and the authorities will have the numbers ready any day now, they expect to have it published on their web site at the end of this month.
I did some calculations of my own. The law says that when assessing the cost of the car you should deduct the additional cost of the EV drive as compared to a similar ICE car. I looked at the tax authorities calculations for the Tesla Roadster where they say that you should deduct 535.700 SEK from the cost of the car. Since the EV drive of the TMS is probably very similar to that of the Roadster, I assumed that I could deduct 535.700 SEK from the cost of the TMS as well. I'm looking at a TMS 85 with a price tag of 81.000 EUR plus VAT, if my calculations hold true that car will get a taxation value of 1.700-1.800 SEK which would mean that it would only cost around 600-700 SEK a month for the driver (90-105 USD). I really hope the tax authorities agree with my calculations!
Also, when you use the TMS as a company car and pay for the electricity charging it, you are allowed to get 9.50 SEK tax free for every 10 km you drive the car, even though it will only cost 2-3 SEK to charge it. If you drive a lot in your work you can get a lot of money that way.
Drivers over here discover that they are looking for and enjoying long routes to their destinations, to prolong the driving. So begin planning as many "reasonable" detours as you can. Get off the freeways and toll roads and autobahns and enjoy the countryside on the byways!
Bredell, lets hope you and rsv (irs) agree on that :). Remember how many priuses showed up all the sudden 2005? Made me think for the first time actually how it would be if everyone had a TMS.. In some strange way I would like to be a bit unique. Hmm, strange feeling. What shall we all do after the conquer of the roads is complete..? Get self driving tesla model G(oogle) perhaps...
And no, I do not doubt for a second that Elon will kick some cans in a new field worthy to nerd in on. Hyperloops, mars trips and stuff. So is this my life, a disciple of Elon..? Oh well, could have been worse.. ;)
sorry for spacing out off topic completely...
I have actually been in conact with the tax authorities and this morning got the information from them - Finally we now have the real Fringe benefit levels for the Model S as follows:
Model S 60 kWh: Fringe purchase price 284600 SEK (incl VAT
=> 2242 SEK/month fringe benefit value (= 1121 SEK/month net cost)
Model S 85 kWh: Fringe purchase price 335100 SEK (incl VAT)
=> 2675 SEK/month fringe benefit value (= 1388 SEK/month net cost)
Model S 85 kWh Performance: Fringe purchase price 438900 SEK (incl VAT)
=> 4500 SEK/month fringe benefit value (= 2250 SEK/month net cost)
Model S 85 kWh Signature: Fringe purchase price 462800 SEK (incl VAT)
=> 4925 SEK/month fringe benefit value (= 2463 SEK/month net cost)
Model S 85 kWh Signature Performance: Fringe purchase price 548000 SEK (incl VAT)
=> 6425 SEK/month fringe benefit value (= 3213 SEK/month net cost)
This actually means that if you can get your employer (or your own company as in many case in this segment) lease a regular Model S 85 kWh and you are only taxed as if you drove a Skoda Octavia Elegance costing some 180,000 SEK!
Brilliant, Joachim!
Annother swede :-) Little bit more in the north; Hammerdal near by Östersund. And actually there are charger stations from Sundsvall to Trondheim, but I dont know what type of chargers (Have no experience neither with electric car nor with the best car in the world...yet ). So going to Åre with your Tesla becomes closer :-)

Right-hander Reynolds looking forward to callup
By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com
CINCINNATI -- Each season, players come up from the Minors and enter the Reds' big league clubhouse. Some appreciate the opportunity more than others. Considering the time and effort it has taken him to get back to the Majors, right-handed starting pitcher Greg Reynolds really appreciated the chance.
"I think it's more gratifying this time around," Reynolds said on Sunday morning from a locker at Great American Ball Park after arriving from Triple-A Louisville. "I definitely had to fight my way to get back. I'm excited about this opportunity. I'm glad the Reds are giving it to me. I will give them everything I've got."
Reynolds, who turned 28 on July 3, will be officially called up on Tuesday to face the Giants in the second game of a doubleheader at San Francisco. He hails from nearby Pacifica, Calif.
"I'm sure he's excited," manager Dusty Baker said. "He's from right over the hill from my place in San Francisco. I'm sure he grew up a Giants fan."
The No. 2 overall pick by the Rockies out of Stanford in the 2006 First-Year Player Draft, Reynolds has had a star-crossed career in the Majors. He reached Colorado by '08 but was slowed by shoulder and elbow injuries. His last experience in the big leagues came in '11.
In 27 games, including 16 starts, for the Rockies, Reynolds was 5-8 with a 7.47 ERA. Last season was spent with the Rangers' Triple-A affiliate in Round Rock, where he posted a 5.30 ERA in 27 starts. The Reds signed Reynolds as a Minor League free agent in December.
"I was just trying to find a good fit," Reynolds said. "To be honest with you, there weren't that many offers out there."
Everything has been solid this season at Louisville, where Reynolds was 10-2 with a 2.54 ERA, 23 walks and 79 strikeouts in 19 starts. Necessity has forced him to change from being a hard-thrower to more of a finesse pitcher. He's added pitches, including a cut fastball.
"I definitely had to transfer to more of a pitcher, rather than just trying to beat guys with stuff," Reynolds said. "My fastball is not what it was coming out of college. I need to pitch a little more, execute better and just hit them with a steady mix to keep them off balance.
"It's definitely been a great season so far. I keep it always about the next start and try not to dwell on what I did the last start or before that. I fought a lot harder this time to get here and prove that I belong here."
Ludwick set to begin rehab assignment
CINCINNATI -- Reds left fielder Ryan Ludwick will begin a Minor League rehab assignment with Class A Dayton on Wednesday.
Ludwick has been on the disabled list since separating his shoulder with a headfirst slide against the Angels on Opening Day. The injury required surgery to repair a torn labrum.
For about two weeks, Ludwick has been hitting, and he began taking batting practice on the field with the team Thursday.
"I feel good," Ludwick said before Sunday's finale vs. the Pirates. "I've had some sore days, but nothing that hasn't gotten better within a day or two. I'd say I'm getting more sore if areas other than my shoulder -- my back and my legs and wrist. It's going to a process. It's obviously going to be a longer rehab assignment. We'll see how he plays out."
The Reds have missed Ludwick's run production from the right side of the plate this season. In 2012, he batted .275 with 26 home runs and 80 RBIs, which earned the free agent a two-year, $15 million contract to return to Cincinnati.
"He's worked hard, really hard," manager Dusty Baker said. "I'm proud of how he's worked. The average person would have gotten frustrated by now. I talked to him. He said, 'Man, there's a lot of RBIs out there.' "
The Dragons will be playing at Lansing when Ludwick joins them this week. Usually, veterans go to rehab assignments where affiliates are playing home games, but Triple-A Louisville, Double-A Pensacola and Dayton are all on the road.
Ludwick can be on a rehab assignment for up to 20 days. He hopes he will not need all of them.
"But I'm not in charge, either," Ludwick said. "I let those guys make the decisions, and I play."
Worth noting
• Zack Cozart entered Sunday leading the National League with eight sacrifice flies. In addition, the shortstop's 10 sac bunts had him tied for the league lead with Reds pitcher Bronson Arroyo.

Chess Match: Ozzie makes right moves
White Sox successful on basepaths in Game 3 victory
By Jim Molony / MLB.com
CHICAGO -- Whether choosing a reliever or deciding when to give the green light to a baserunner, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen pushed all the right buttons as Chicago avoided elimination from the American League Division Series with a 5-3 victory over Tampa Bay on Sunday at U.S. Cellular Field.
Wise move
The decision: With two outs and A.J. Pierzynski at the plate, Wise steals second base.
Good call
The decision: Guillen brings in right-hander Octavio Dotel to face Longoria.
The situation: Ken Griffey Jr. leads off the sixth with a walk.
The decision: Guillen sends Brian Anderson in to run for Griffey.
Wise move
The situation: White Sox left fielder Dewayne Wise leads off the third with a walk.
The outcome: Pierzynski follows with a base hit up the middle to score Wise with the tying run.
The analysis: Wise picks a great spot for Chicago's first stolen base of the series. Pierzynski was behind in the count, and even if Wise had been thrown out to end the inning, the White Sox would have have their Nos. 2-4 hitters up in the next inning. Ths Sox offense has been struggling, so the gamble isn't all that surprising and worth taking considering the circumstances.
The explanation: "That's part of my game. When I get on base, I'm gonna have to wait on a good pitch like a slider in the dirt to try and steal second base." -- Wise
Good call
The situation: Top of the seventh, two outs and the tying run at the plate in Evan Longoria.
The outcome: Longoria takes a called third strike to end the threat.
The analysis: Dotel is a high-risk/high-reward reliever, but this time he rewards the Sox with one of the biggest outs of the game.
The explanation: "To be honest with you, I don't want to give anything good to that guy because everybody knows how tough he is. I just try to get ahead, throw strike one and strike two. That's why I threw back-to-back sliders. That doesn't work out, so I just came back with my fastball. Thank God he took it, because he's one of the hitters you've got to be afraid of." -- Dotel Insurance run
The situation: Ken Griffey Jr. leads off the sixth with a walk.
The outcome: Anderson steals second base.
The analysis: Anderson's speed paves the way for another run as he takes third on a groundout and later scores on Juan Uribe's two-out single. The insurance run is important as it gives the White Sox a 5-1 lead heading into the seventh.
The explanation: "We'd talked about [running] in various situations. That was one, and fortunately it worked out for us." -- Anderson

Alissa Walter felt incredibly grateful for the numerous blessings she counted on her September wedding day that she decided to "pay them forward" to someone else: She wanted to give away her wedding dress to another deserving bride.
"We had invested in beautiful decorations and this beautiful dress. What better way to use these now than to help them bless someone else, and to spread the generosity that we've been given," the Washington, D.C.-based newlywed told TODAY's Natalie Morales.
And that's how she came to meet Renée Stroinski, the woman selected to receive her size 4, $800 strapless Cambodian silk gown. The two met Monday for the first time in person during their TODAY interview, although they have known each other for weeks through e-mail.
When Walter decided to give away her dress for free, to help her find the right bride-to-be. She said she wanted someone who was unable to afford a dress otherwise, or someone who may have originally planned to elope but had since changed her mind in favor of a more formal event.
"Basically, I'm hoping to find someone who really loves the dress and whose wedding experience will be truly transformed by having it," she told the publication.
Walter said on TODAY that one reason she chose Stroinski, a graduate student from New Jersey, was because of her pledge to carry on the tradition of giving the dress away after she had used it for her own ceremony.
"Renée, more than anyone else, really embraced the idea of 'Pay it forward.' She really wanted to take this dress and everything else about our wedding and use it to also be generous to other brides," Walter said.
"I thought this is a really amazing trend. What a better way to think about our weddings as something we can invest in and share, rather than something about a princess day that is all about us."
Stroinski told Huffington Post that she and her boyfriend plan to marry in the fall of 2014. Heavy student loans for both of them prevented them from planning a dream wedding, one that included the perfect wedding gown.
Stroinski said she fell in love with Walter's dress when she saw it in the Huffington Post story, and even before she learned it was her size.
"I knew it was the one before I even knew I could have it," she told Morales.
Stroinski said she appreciated the generous spirit in which Walter was giving away her gown and had no doubt she would pass along the gown so someone else could eventually walk down the aisle with it.
"I can't believe that I get to wear it and I would love to do that for someone else, too, and just make their memory just as special," she said.


text: As to your original question, there are no fuses on the RT. The central electronics unit (also known as the ZFE) monitors the current on each circuit, and shuts down a circuit that draws too much current, as in a short circuit condition. Once the fault is corrected, the circuit will automatically reset after turning the ignition off, then back on. If a circuit draws too little current the ZFE will generate an error code and in some cases activate a warning light, as you have seen with your tail lamps.

My heartfelt condolences go out to Gauthier family;
I was in classes with both of Dana's sisters, and I could not begin to imagine what they and their family are going through right now.

My son was a classmate of Christina's, and I am aware of the lovely Gauthier Family. I have raised two sons, one of whom has a serious medical condition. I did not know DJ personally, but understand and am very touched by reports of his community-minded and loving spirit, and his desire to be "just one of the guys." I respect his scouting intests, shared by my sons also. My heart-felt sentiments go to those who know and love DJ. My sympathy runs deeply for his family, as their loss is great. God Bless You.

I attended DJ's memorial service at the church and was in total awe over the huge number of friends and followers this boy had. Without knowing him, I could easily see this was a child whose humble spirit was in perfect, peaceful harmony with himself, with others, with life, with God, and even with this imperfect world. As much as I've mourned this week over this family's loss, it was a rewarding experience for me to be reminded how easy it is to live an exemplary life of voluntary submission, serving and helping others so nobly and gracefully as DJ did, without a selfish bone in his body. I feel his community will likely never be the same again, as it strives to establish some semblance of virtue in a world seemingly gone awry with corruption run amok. Transformation is worthy of prayer, and Palo Alto can light that spark which will outshine the mundane and the indifferent. I have but one regret, namely not having the opportunity to meet this young kingly saint before he was called home. Dana Gauthier Jr. has given us a blueprint - let us respond in a collective spirit of Godly obedience and salt the earth, and we too will know the peace that passes all understanding.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Firefighters were able to put the Pumpkin Hill fire out without anyone getting hurt or any homes or businesses getting damaged.
But now some are questioning safety and response times, saying the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department didn't have enough resources there quick enough, and this fire had the potential to be very dangerous.
Those with the fire union say one of the specialized brush trucks used to go off road had to travel 33 miles to get to the Northside fire, and they say that's just too far and too long.
But the head of the Fire Department says his crews had the resources they needed, and everything worked out ideally.
"This stuff is not good," fire union President Randy Wyse said.
He said because of changes to the department, only two of JFRD's five trucks were staffed at the time. They had to make the haul from Baldwin and Mandarin to the Northside.
Wyse said trucks often aren't manned so the department can save on costs. But he said that decision could be costly.
Fire Chief Marty Senterfitt said the problem is nonexistent.
"It's just a rumor being stirred up because of honestly some political agenda," he said.
Senterfitt said his budget is actually higher than it's ever been, and choosing to not have brush trucks constantly staffed frees up firefighters for medical emergencies and house fires. He says when crews needed these special trucks Tuesday, it was an easy transition and didn't cause any problems.
"Literally within moments we just took somebody off an engine, put them on the brush truck and responded," Senterfitt said. "So there was no delay in service."
Councilman Don Redman is the vice chair of the city's public safety committee. He says JFRD is doing everything right with the hand it's dealt right now. And funding the department is a big priority, he says, but when it comes to cutting services, he says the city must be careful.
"They are potentially risking public safety if we go any deeper than we are now," Redman said.

>General Running>Can hill running / strides help prevent injury?
I am currently running about 50 mpw w/ one long run, one tempo and the rest easy. However I do a hill workout every day, 5-10 100m sprints w/ a warmup and cool down jog. I notice that since adding this and strides to my running I get injured less easily, does it have something to do with practicing fast foot turnover? Thanks
Chief Unicorn Officer
I may be wrong, but it might have more to do with the fact that hills build strength, and when your muscles are strong (especially in the hip/butt/pelvis region, which is weak on many people), you are less likely to be injured.
Mile 5:49 - 5K 19:58 - 10K 43:06 - HM 1:36:54
I agree with MJ. I believe it was Hudson's book Run Faster that he encourages hill sprints to help build strength. Many people don't realize that one of the best things you can do to help prevent injury is strength training in your hips, flutes, quads, etc.
I agree. It's probably more about form and strength building. You might want to be careful about doing too much on a day or too frequently as that can lead to injury.
Future running partner.
+1 Regarding strength and form helping with injury prevention. Not only that I think their is some long term benefit in developing top end strength which will eventually translate into faster aerobic speed as you progress. A lot of well respected coaches preach doing light speed work even during build up or base building.
an amazing likeness
Hill training is speed work in disguise. If you can take the pounding of doing it as often as you are and recover, the strengthening delivered is generally thought to help with injury prevention. I'm no expert, but most of the experts have hill training in their plans...
I've done my best to live the right way. I get up every morning and go to work each day. (for now)
Especially Brad Hudson in his Training for a 5k to a Marathon book ...
I dont sweat. I ooze liquid awesome.
Does that mean strength training in general (quads glutes calves & core ) would be beneficial to runners?
Does that mean strength training in general (quads glutes calves & core ) would be beneficial to runners
Certain kinds of strength training can be really useful, others not so much. I learned body-weight functional movements for PT and in a running xt class. If it's icy out, the machine circuits (25 stations of 1min apiece, iirc - some cardio, some strength) plus the submax plyos (including 1-footed jumping, agility) we used to do were really helpful for trail running. In general, I prefer to just hike up a mountain - or run the gentler or shorter ones.
I would add feet and ankles to your list of things to strengthen, esp. for trail running.
MTA: The key features of "functional" movements for running is that they work on one leg or with legs diagonally apart, like they'd be when running. Doing things with two feet on the ground but opposite each other (like, say, a traditional squat) may help, but it misses some of the key features for running.

Hoffman: 'It was time to move on'
All-time saves leader says Milwaukee was best fit for him
By Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com
Trevor Hoffman, who agreed to sign with the Brewers on Thursday, told MLB.com in a telephone interview on Thursday that it was time to move on from San Diego and that Milwaukee seemed to be a better fit than Los Angeles. Both the Brewers and Dodgers offered him contracts this week. Speaking late Thursday night from his home in Rancho Santa Fe, which is in North County, San Diego, Hoffman said it had been a rough day for him in the city where he played nearly 16 seasons for the Padres. "I'm getting through it," said Major League Baseball's all-time leader with 554 saves. "It hasn't been real pretty around here, but I'm excited about Milwaukee. They seem excited, which is kind of cool. I had never spoken with [Brewers general manager] Doug Melvin before. He seems like a pretty solid guy. "I just talked to [new manager Ken Macha] briefly. He's a Pittsburgh guy so you know he's going to be blue collar. He's excited about his club and getting the opportunity to manage another good club." Hoffman will earn a $6 million base salary in 2009 with up to $1.5 million in incentives based on games finished, beginning with No. 38 and ending with 52. There is no option for a second year, which Hoffman said is fine with him. "I thought better of it," he said about the option, which was offered. "Let's wait and see if we like it there. If I pitch well and earn what I'm capable of, the Brewers will be happy and it will be a moot point." In any event, it gives Hoffman a chance to earn the same $7.5 million he made from the Padres this past season, the last year of his three-year, $21 million contract. The final offer for 2009 made by the Padres in early November was for a straight $4 million, no incentives. That was taken off the table before Hoffman could accept or reject it, forcing the inevitable break. Hoffman said that the concerted interest from the Brewers is why he picked them over the Dodgers, who offered contracts to Hoffman, Dennys Reyes and Guillermo Mota at the same time. None of the three have accepted at this point. "The offers were pretty similar," Hoffman said. "The fact that Milwaukee was so bullish made a difference -- the general manager calling, the manager calling, getting to talk to the trainer. The excitement they showed for me possibly being there was the biggest factor. They stayed pretty firm. They kept coming. If you're going to leave your house, it doesn't matter whether you're an hour drive up the road or five hours away by plane. You're still not going to be home very much." Then there were the optics of Hoffman jumping from the Padres to the arch-rival Dodgers, with the two teams playing each other 18 times a year. "Yeah, that would've been a tough pill for everybody to swallow," he said with a laugh. "But the fact is, because my relationship with the Padres was severed without any desire on my part for it to happen, I had to look at all options. Had the Dodgers wanted to pursue it a little harder, then it might have happened. In Milwaukee, I thought it was definitely a firm commitment on their end." Hoffman acknowledged that he was caught in the flux of the Padres ownership situation and that it was bad timing for him to become a free agent. The Padres are downsizing their player payroll about $30 million from this past season's $72 million. And majority owner John Moores has just announced that he is bringing in Diamondbacks principal owner Jeff Moorad at least as a partner in the beginning with the intent to eventually sell him the club. That deal is currently being organized and may come to fruition by the start of Spring Training. That means next offseason, when Hoffman is a free agent again, the club's finances might be different. But at this point, Hoffman said he can't conceive of going back. "I just can't see that," he said. "I think once Heath Bell gets settled into the closer's role, they'll be comfortable with that. They could have handled my situation a lot better. There could have been a meeting of the minds. They could've said they were just going younger, which is their right. Really, we all could have handled it a lot better. We could have walked away feeling a lot more respect for each other. I just don't think a deal there was to be had. And I'm fine with it. I just think it was time to move on. "Now there's just the backlash that I took the money and ran. [People] are having a lot of fun with it right now. It's not real pretty. I'm getting a lot of calls. But it was fun. It was a good run. Shoot, 16 years, I can't squawk about it. Not many players get to stay with a club for 16 years. I was pretty lucky."

Emergency Medical Services
The Department of Campus Safety acts as a first responder for medical emergencies on campus. Medical emergencies on campus are also handled by Sioux Falls Fire Rescue and Paramedics Plus.
Campus Safety Officers are trained in CPR, the use of the Automated External Defibrillator (AED), and basic first responder first aid.
Campus Safety officers responding to a report of an ill or injured party will assist as a first responder until Sioux Falls Fire Rescue or Paramedics Plus arrives on scene.
Augustana University recognizes that cardiovascular disease is the single greatest cause of death in the United States. Nearly half of those deaths are due to sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in out-of-hospital settings. Prompt application of integrated skills or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillation (AED) provide victims of SCA with the greatest chance of survival.
The Department of Campus Safety maintains the automated external defibrillators located on campus.
The automated external defibrillator is used to treat victims who experience sudden cardiac arrest. It is only to be applied to victims, who are unconscious, not breathing normally and showing no signs of circulation such as normal breathing, coughing or movement. The AED will analyze the heart rhythm and advise the operator if a shockable rhythm is detected. If a shockable rhythm is detected, the AED will charge to the appropriate energy level and deliver a shock.
The Department of Campus Safety, in cooperation with the college Employee Health Educator, sponsors several CPR/AED classes throughout the calender year for students, faculty and staff. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to watch for the next CPR/AED class and make plans to attend. If you would like to host a CPR/AED class please contact the Department of Campus Safety, 605.274.4014.
Augustana University currently has nine (9) AEDs located at various locations on campus. Below are the locations of the AEDs. Please become familiar with where the closest AED is to you.
- Morrison Commons Desk
- Mikkelsen Library Main Circulation Desk
- Madsen Center
- Gilbert Science Center
- Humanities Building
- Administration Building
- Elmen Center Equipment Desk
- Elmen Center Weight Room
- Campus Safety Patrol Vehicles
AEDs work. An AED was used on a victim of sudden cardiac arrest while attending a lecture in the Morrison Commons on our campus. The AED shocked the victim restoring the victims heart rate resulting in the victim surviving the sudden cardiac arrest!

Don't the Fossils Prove Evolution?
by John D. Morris, Ph.D.
For decades students have been shown a representation of the fossil record appearing as a vertical column with marine invertebrates on the bottom, overlain by fish, then amphibians, reptiles, and mammals, with man on the top. The column is a column of time, they are told, with the long ago past on the bottom and the present on top. The fossil column (or similar figure) is presented without question as if it were true—as if it were real data. Students are led to believe that the order of first appearance of the fossils over time proves evolution.
I suggest that it does no such thing, for several reasons. First, the fossils do not occur in this order, simple to complex from bottom to top. The fossils at the bottom (i.e., long ago) are equally as complex as any animal today, and are essentially the same as their modern counterparts. In reality, the fossils appear abruptly in the record, fully formed and fully functional without less adapted ancestors in lower levels that would have preceded them in time. To be honest, the entire fossil record consists of predominately marine invertebrates (animals without a backbone, like clams, jellyfish, coral). The column is nothing more than a statement of evolutionary thinking. A case can perhaps be made for the order of first appearance of vertebrates (i.e., fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals), but vertebrate fossils are exceptions to the rule and usually quite fragmentary, with the lower range of each often being extended downward with new discoveries. Most come from Ice Age deposits which sometimes contain human remains also.
Second, the evolutionary presentation in the textbook column implies that all life has come from one (or perhaps a few) common ancestor(s). But the Cambrian System, the lowest (i.e., oldest) level containing extensive multicellular fossils, exhibits a virtual explosion of life. Suddenly (by this I mean without the necessary ancestors lower in the column), every phylum of life is found—every basic body style, including vertebrate fish. The abrupt appearance of diverse forms of life does not match with evolutionary predictions of one form descending into many.
Third, these diverse forms continue up the column (i.e., throughout time) with much the same appearance possessed at the start. The term stasis describes the tendency to "stay" the same, remain "stationary" or "static." Some body styles go extinct as you come up the column, but no new basic styles are introduced.
1) Abrupt appearance
2) Diversity at the start, and
3) Stasis.
Certainly the fossil record does not prove evolution. On the other hand, its character fully supports creation of multiple "kinds" at the start with no evolutionary lineage, and continuance of those rather static kinds with limited adaptations into the present, or else going extinct. This is the creation idea.
The fossils further support the Flood. While no evolutionary trends can be seen bridging the basic kinds and producing new ones, we do see a transition from totally marine at the bottom to more terrestrial toward the top. At every level the dominant fossil is marine, but more and more land-dwelling fossils creep in. What more persuasive testimony to the Biblical model could there be?

Halle Berry Wants Congress to Keep People From Photographing Her Kid
When it comes to her 5-year-old daughter, Halle Berry can be pretty protective. After a failing bid last year to move to France with her child Nahla (where laws about photographing the children of celebrities are much more stringent), Berry now plans to push US lawmakers to fix the problem for her.
A source tells the NY Post that 'The Call' star has enlisted the help of star couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner to join the cause, which would prohibit photogs from taking pictures of young celebrity offspring — because Ben, as you may recall, has already made it abundantly clear where he stands on this.
In a recent interview with 'Extra,' Berry talked about the paparazzi attention, saying, "It's weird for [Nahla] and she's at that age where she's questioning why, and she wants to be left alone. It's bothersome and scary for her."
We know at least one other person who's likely to be in Halle's corner: Steven Tyler. The 65-year-old Aerosmith crooner recently lobbied for a Hawaiian law that would've protected celebs of all ages from intrusive photos, only to have the bill stall in the state's House of Representatives.
As for Berry, it's unclear how far the Oscar-winner will take this fight, but if she's really that scared, she could always take a page from the Michael Jackson playbook and just force her child to wear bandannas, veils and face masks. (Maybe that's why, despite all odds, MJ's kids actually turned out okay.)

MMG rapper and Seinfeld enthusiast Wale is up to nothing again. Jerry Seinfeld recently revealed that the two are collaborating on a project, presumably the rapper's forthcoming Album About Nothing.
Without revealing too many details about the project, comedian Jerry Seinfeld confirmed that he and Wale are working on a secret project.
"Wale called me and came to my show and hung out a little bit," he explained of the collaboration. "He wanted me to do something with him and I didn't understand it but he did. I like the guy, I dug the guy. I listened to his music and I liked his music. So I said, I'll do it even though I didn't know what I was going to do."
Seinfeld was further swayed by the reaction of his wife, Jessica Seinfeld, when he mentioned the possible collaboration with Wale.
"I said to my wife, I'm doing this thing with this guy Wale. She said 'Wale is my favorit hip-hop artist anywhere. I have everything. [But] somehow she missed everything that had to do with me. I said, Just type Wale and me and see what comes up. Of course, a whole bunch of stuff comes up. It was unbelievable. We are living together and she's into him, and he's into me. I had no idea." [Check out the video here]
While the union may seem world's apart to anyone unfamiliar with Wale's music, the DC-based rapper is an avowed fan of Seinfeld. His early mixtapes, A Mixtape About Nothing and More About Nothing were nods to the groundbreaking sitcom.
Stay tuned for more about the Album About Nothing.

Things would have looked so much better if we had won our last 2 Detroit just won Boston won. At least by next season we will/should have.
A theme/direction
an Identity
a leader
guys who know their roles
No Bargnani(?)
Hopefully we get Bledsoe now....
Wet dreams...
Why didnt this trade happen sooner? lol Man Memphis is kicking themselves.
the only thing missing from this game was the Swirsk bringing out the salami & cheese in the 3rd quarter LOL brought me back to the VC days with the energy in the building tonight..
Lowry had an off night shooting but 8 assists and 0 turnovers is very nice to see from him.
On another news, Ed Davis only played 5mins tonight for the Grizz. Not surprising because they have Randolph and Gasol who plays tons of mins. Feel bad for Ed though. I really wished he was traded to a team that needs a starting 4.
Rudy Gay is getting a lot of hate from Memphis fans right now *** lol Well now they know what its like for us losing Vince lol.
Derozans newfound playmaking ability might make him and Gay work out a little bit better than we expected
Gray getting buckets has been because of Demar the last 3 games. Lowry, DeRozan and Gay man we got something epic on our hands!
You guys gotta give DeRozan more credit the 2.1 asissts is just whenever the first pass he made leads to a bucket, he makes pretty good passes a lot the asisst doesnt go through if the person is fouled or the person passes to someone else to make a point. Hes been looking for his teammates a lot lately. more noticable lately thanks to Lowry and now Gay he wont have multiple Jerseys pressuring him nearly as much.
