Samsung released a list of carrier-specific device models that will be updated to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in a FAQ Tuesday. While a bunch of recently released devices on AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint are set to receive the new OS version, the future of T-Mobile's devices is uncertain, meaning owners of the months-old Samsung Galaxy S II could be on the outside looking in.
On AT&T, the Galaxy S II, Galaxy S II Skyrocket, Galaxy Note, Captivate Glide, Nexus S, and Galaxy Tab 8.9 are all confirmed for Android 4.0. Samsung says that Sprint has agreed to push ICS to its version of the Galaxy S II, the Epic 4G Touch, while Verizon will get the upgrade for its Galaxy Tabs 10.1 and 7.7. On the downside, no firm dates are provided for any of these OS upgrades.
But when it comes to T-Mobile devices, Samsung states only that they "are in close communication with T-Mobile to ensure that eligible devices are upgraded to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in the coming months." T-Mobile has only two high-end smartphones from Samsung, once of which, the Galaxy S Blaze 4G, likely won't receive the upgrade as it is a variation of the Galaxy S. Samsung has already stated those models will remain on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The fate of the Samsung Galaxy S II, however, hangs in the balance.
The company is already late in pushing out the promised upgrades. In December, Samsung announced the Galaxy S II, regardless of carrier, would be on Android 4.0 by the end of the first quarter. We're now well into the second quarter, and many Samsung device owners are still waiting. The role carriers play in holding up device upgrades can't be underestimated. Still, Samsung is entrenching its reputation for plodding OS upgrade releases.

Regulering i skyggen af FarumsagenDenta, Sarah Maria (Frederiksberg, 2017)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Afhandlingen redegør for, behandler og analyser den offentligretlige regulering i forhold til offentlige private partnerskaber i Danmark. I afhandlingens definition på offentlige private partnerskaber er der tre karakteristika der er helt særlige for offentlige private partnerskaber; privat finansiering, totaløkonomi og risikodeling. Ministeriet har i kommunestyrelsesloven1 §§ 41, 58 og 59 hjemmel til at fastsætte regler om kommunernes låntagning og lignende dispositioner, hvilket blandt andet omfatter leje- og leasingaftaler. Dette har ministeriet gjort med vedtagelse af lånebekendtgørelsen.2 Offentlige private partnerskaber bliver generelt i den offentlige forvaltning betragtet som lejeaftaler med den begrundelse, at der er hjemmel til dette i lånebekendtgørelsen. Denne opfattelse medfører, at OPP aftaler er omfattet af lånebekendtgørelsen § 3, stk. 1, nr. 6. Denne bestemmelse omfatter og regulerer kommunernes låntagning; "indgåelse af aftaler, herunder leje- og leasingaftaler." Dette betyder, at offentlige private partnerskaber er omfattet deponeringsreglen i lånebekendtgørelsen § 6. Deponeringsreglen medfører, at kommunen ved indgåelse af offentlige private partnerskaber skal deponere anlægssummen på en særskilt konto ved projektets start. Anlægssummen svarer til det beløb, som den private part ligeledes skal bruge på at bygge anlægget. Deponeringsreglen opleves af kommunerne, i henhold til en undersøgelse foretaget af Konkurrence- og Forbrugerstyrelsen, som den største barriere i forhold til indgåelse af offentlige private partnerskaber.

Tvarnø, Christina D. (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper gives an overview of the existing Public Private Partnership (PPP) acts in the EU Member states, the existing national economic measures supporting establishment of PPP projects, PPP guidelines and, furthermore, the existing national central governmental PPP units. After mapping these four subjects in the EU member states, the paper focuses on the solutions chosen in France, United Kingdom, and Ireland. The purpose of the paper is to provide specific knowledge on PPP instruments to countries as Denmark, which lack on both legal instruments, as well as PPP projects in general. This knowledge might provide a new perspective on how to improve the PPP marked through legal, financial, and governmental measures concerning PPP. The paper focuses on legal act, central PPP units and financial instruments as support of PPP. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9387

Juridisk analyse af kvinders og mænds adgang til varer og tjenesteydelserNielsen, Ruth (København, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Formålet med denne rapport er at præcisere omfanget og rækkevidden af det forbud mod kønsdiskrimination ved adgang til varer og tjenesteydelser, der i Danmark siden vedtagelsen af ligestillingsloven i 2000 gælder for alle sælgere/tjenesteydere både i den private og offentlige sektor samt af den pligt til at indarbejde kønsligestilling i al planlægning og forvaltning, der gælder i den offentlige sektor (den såkaldte mainstreamingpligt). Det vil også blive diskuteret, i hvilken udstrækning der, hvis der ønskes mere kønsligestilling, kan og bør ske skærpelse af reglerne i dansk ret inden for rammerne af de nugældende EU-regler. Kønsligestilling og forbud mod diskrimination er grundlæggende rettigheder (menneskerettigheder). I de seneste år er der i stigende grad udviklet et samspil mellem elementer i dansk ret, der stammer fra EU-niveau, og elementer, der stammer fra folkeretligt eller nationalt niveau, hvilket gør det relevant at opfatte regler af national herkomst, folkeret og regler, der er blevet til i EU-regi, som ét stort system.

Viken, Monica (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The focus of this thesis is an analysis of the legal aspects and use of surveys in trademark and marketing practice litigation in Norway. I examine the legal relevance of surveys and analyse how they are considered as evidence by the courts and administrative bodies. Human behaviour can be defined within a legal context by interpreting legal sources and also by developing a survey based on the market place. In this thesis, I compare the use of survey findings as evidence of human perceptions in the context of the average consumer who represents the opinion of the relevant group. If the factual public opinion of the respective group of addressees is taken into consideration, the rules are interpreted with a basis in the market place (reality), and not within a formal legal framework (abstraction)...

Et retsøkonomisk bidrag til 200 års juridisk konflikt om ejendomsrettenRose, Kalle Johannes (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: I 1815 skrev Anders Sandøe Ørsted (herefter Ørsted) en artikel angående ejendomsrettens beskyttelse. I kølvandet på den franske revolution og indførslen af Code de Civil opgøret med naturrettens absolutte ejendomsrettighedsbegreb tog Ørsted diskussionen op angående ejendomsrettens ukrænkelighed og den døde hånd i dansk ret med fokus på datidens fonde – stiftelserne. Ørsted opstillede argumenter for og imod ejendomsrettens beskyttelse, men forholdt sig samtidig yderst kritisk til både det af naturrettens absolutte ejendomsretsbegreb og det af Code de Civil fremførte ejendomsretsbegreb. Han fandt i stedet, at løsningen skulle findes i en skønsvurdering i forhold til et generelt samfundshensyn.1 Efter Ørsteds bidrag fra 1815 deltog han selv, som folkevalgt repræsentant for København, i "Forhandlingerne på Riigsdagen"2, som skulle blive startskuddet til demokratiets indførsel i Danmark ved den danske grundlov af 1849. I denne lovtekst fremførtes ejendomsretten som værende ukrænkelig, medmindre den af almenvellet kræves ved lov og da skal krænkelsen ske mod erstatning.3 Formuleringen var i tråd med den franske Code de Civil, som ikke efter Ørsteds tidligere skrift var optimal.

Tvarnø, Christina D. (Frederiksberg, 2014)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper concerns Public Private Partnership (PPP) contracts in concern to the coming new 2014/24IEU public procurement directive. The new EU public procurement directive gives the public authority the opportunity to negotiate PPPs much more when they are implemented in national law. An opportunity the member states should consider using when procuring a PPP. This paper looks at the negotiation and contracting of a PPP in an economic theoretical and EU public procurement perspective and discusses how to establish an efficient PPP contract under a strong public law doctrine. Governments should consider tendering out PPP projects in the spirit of joint utility because joint utility can increase the concept of more value for money; the cornerstone of the PPP concept. This paper discusses the positive gains from negotiation and compares it with the upcoming possibilities in the EU public procurement law. Furthermore, the paper seeks to establish a connection between public law, private law and the efficient PPP contract by drawing upon economic theory and empirical contract data from UK, US and Danish partnering contracts from the construction industry and the aim of contracting joint utility. Joint utility can increase the concept of more value for money; the cornerstone of the PPP concept. The paper draws upon existing legal content regarding collaboration and common goals and game theory to explain the benefits from implementing similar clauses in PPP contracts.

An empirical studyMøgelvang-Hansen, Peter; Lando, Henrik; Kristensen, Bo; Schützsack, Ole (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The project described in this report was carried out with support from The Ministry of Justice's Research Pool. The aim of the project is to examine the effects of Amending Act no. 213/2002, amending the rules on consumer sales in the Danish Sale of Goods Act. The amendments were part of Denmark's implementation of Directive 1999/44/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on certain aspects of the sale of consumer goods and associated guarantees. The Amending Act came into force on 24 April 2002, having effect on consumer sales made on and after 1 January 2002. At the time of completion of this report, the Amending Act had been in force for more than two and a half years. In the planning of this project, we assumed that at this point in time sufficient experience with the new rules would be available, enabling us to get an impression of its practical consequences for businesses. Also, we assumed that the respondents could still recall the prior state of the law, making it possible for us to gather sufficient information to compare the situation before and after the Amending Act entered into force. The Amending Act involved a number of amendments to the Danish Sale of Goods Act. Certain amendments, such as those concerning the rules on lack of conformity, were mainly clarifications of the current state of the law. As these in fact did not change the state of the law, they were not intended to change practice either. As this study is empirically oriented, these amendments fall outside its scope. Consequently, in this study we have chosen to focus on the consequences of the following amendments: Under the new provisions in s. 77a(3), any lack of conformity with the contract is assumed to have existed at the time of delivery if such lack of conformity becomes apparent within six months of the time of delivery. Where there is a lack of conformity, the consumer in general has a right to choose between replacement and repair under s. 78. Replacement is no longer contingent on the lack of conformity constituting a fundamental breach. Furthermore, it is no longer possible for the seller to decline a request for replacement by offering to repair. If the consumer's request for replacement or repair would impose disproportionate costs on the seller, or if this remedy is impossible, the seller can, however, decline the request. In s. 83, the limitation period for complaints has been extended from one to two years from the time of delivery to the consumer. In s. 54, the corresponding limitation period on other sales than consumer sales has been extended from one to two years to avoid sellers in the retail trade from being caught in between their consumers and their suppliers. As before, s. 83 cannot be derogated from to the detriment of the consumer. It is, however, still possible for the parties to derogate from s. 54 concerning other sales than consumer sales. The fundamental question of this study is whether the mentioned alteration to the state of the law has resulted in a notable change in the behaviour of the relevant players. Of the relevant players, our principal focus is the retail trade, whose situation we have examined by way of a questionnaire survey. To a limited extent we have also looked into any changes in the behaviour of wholesalers/producers, mainly by way of interviews with trade organisations. Finally, we have examined the application of the new rules, mainly by looking at the Danish Consumer Complaints Board. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7386

An EU Procurement Law PerspectiveTvarnø, Christina D. (Frederiksberg, 2015)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This memo concerns the new public procurement directive adopted by the EU in 2014. The new directive, in many ways, acknowledges P3 as a significant instrument in both the public and the private sector, especially in comparison to the 2004 public procurement directive on works. In the last 10 years, P3 has been governed by restrictive rules on anti-corruption, transparency, equality and competition, based on a principle on non-negotiation.

I et økonomisk og juridisk perspektivTvarnø, Christina D. (Frederiksberg, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Spørgsmålet er om der er aftaleretlig revolution på vej, en revolution som er baseret på, at hvis virksomhederne vil overleve i den globale økonomi kræves nye initiativer for at skabe værdi.1 Den globale økonomi er karakteriseret ved omskiftelighed og aggressiv konkurrence. Derfor kan virksomheder sjældent stå alene om at skabe værdi.2 Det er forandringen i virksomhedernes værdiskabelse, som er årsagen til revolutionen. I stedet for at skabe værdi alene skaber virksomhederne nu værdier i fællesskab og til det kræves nye samarbejdsformer og nye måder at indgå aftaler på, selv i virksomhedens første levetid. De gamle metoder og teorier duer således ikke mere. Nye samarbejdsformer indbefatter både i Storbritannien,3 USA og i Danmark begrebet partnering. Selv om partnering er et forholdsvist nyt begreb i Danmark, har partnering allerede i USA vist at være vejen til fundamentale forandringer for, hvordan store virksomheder kontraherer.

A Solution to the Nash Equilibrium?Tvarnø, Christina D. (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper discusses partnering contracts in Denmark and Great Britain, analyses the legal content and applies game theory and the prisoner's dilemma game on some of the legal clauses and objectives. The paper defines partnering contracts as alternative social contracts relevant when forming a strategic alliance or another long-term relationship with a certain degree of specificity and frequency. It is not the aim of partnering contracts to replace the traditional contracts. The paper focuses on partnering in the construction industry and compares the clauses in both Danish and British partnering contracts. Based on the analysis, the paper sets up a scientific definition regarding the aim of partnering contracts and shows that economic theory can explain the legal clauses in the partnering contract, and the partnering contract can solve inefficiency in the Nash Equilibrium in the prisoner's dilemma game. The partnering contract makes it possible to obtain the benefit from joint utility and the paper proposes some legal improvements in this regard. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8909

Abstract: The digital world of the 21st century is increasingly the world of automatic decision making. In such a world, an ever larger number of tasks are relegated to computers which gather and process data as well as suggest or make decisions silently and with little supervision. This situation has been made possible by a transfer of a staggering portion of our daily lives from the offline world to the Internet. It is a truism that automation would be impossible without our willing participation on the Internet. We freely take part in social networks, post on blogs, and send our emails. On the other hand, it is equally true that we are increasingly monitored by the state, by profit‐maximizing corporations and by our fellow citizens and that these methods of monitoring are becoming smarter. Vast amounts of data which have become available and which we contribute, form what we today call "big data".1 This is then harvested for connections and correlations and profiles created that can be used for commercial and other purposes. We fear this world but are also dependant on it. The creation of these profiles and their usage is an uncharted territory for the social sciences as much as it is a strange territory for the regulators. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8914

An international analysis - from a legal and economic perspectiveAndersen, Henrik; Cao, Fuguo; Tvarnø, Christina D.; Wang, Ping (Nottingham, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This book provides a legal, economic and policy analysis of Public Private Partnerships. It is designed as a text for students at university level, but also for lawyers, procurement officials and policy-makers. The book consists of an EU, a WTO and a Chinese legal perspective. As explained on the cover page, the book was prepared as a part of a collaborative project in higher education, the EU Asia Inter University Network for Teaching and Research in Public Procurement Regulation 2009-2011, funded by the EU. This project involved several universities in Europe and Asia and has sought to promote and support the teaching of public procurement in Europe, Asia and globally. This text is one of five books produced under the auspices of the project that are designed to be used as resources in the teaching of public procurement law and regulation. The main editors and chapter authors are listed below, but it should be recognised that the text is a collaborative effort of all the partners to the extent that it has benefited from input by, and discussions between, many different persons at the different partner institutions. In addition to the authors and editor mentioned below, the text has benefited from editing and proof reading by Laura Graham at the University of Nottingham and text assistance from Marie Pade Andersen , Cecilie Voss and Kim Jørgensen at Copenhagen Business School whose assistance the project would like to acknowledge gratefully. The contents of the book are up to date as of August 2010. It has also been possible to include later developments in some parts of the book. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8422

Abstract: The European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) was established in 2004. The Agency provides advice and recommendations, data analysis, and supports awareness raising and cooperation by the EU bodies and Member States in the field of cybersecurity. ENISA uses its expertise to improve cooperation between Member States, and between actors from the public and private sectors, as well as to support capacity building. The present study involves the evaluation of ENISA over the 2013-2016 period, assessing the Agency's performance, governance and organisational structure, and positioning with respect to other EU and national bodies. It assesses ENISA's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOTs) with regard to the new cybersecurity and digital privacy landscape. It also provides options to modify the mandate of the Agency to better respond to new, emerging needs and assesses their financial implications. The findings of the evaluation study show that ENISA has made some important achievements towards increasing NIS in the EU. However, a fragmented approach to cybersecurity across the EU and issues internal to the Agency, including limited financial resources, hinder ENISA's ability to respond to the ever growing needs of stakeholders in a context of technological developments and evolving cybersecurity threats.

Major Crimes Task Force
"The mission of the Utah County Major Crimes Task Force is to promote a collaborated multi-agency effort through local, state and federal agencies, to identify, investigate and dismantle major drug trafficking organizations operating in the Utah County area, with emphasis on heroin (currently an epidemic in our area), methamphetamine and clandestine lab, target and apprehend street to mid-level drug traffickers and increase efforts in the investigation and arrests of individuals and organizations involved in the distribution of opiate based prescription pills and target gang activity involved in drug distribution and any violent crimes."
The Utah County Major Crimes Task Force is a group of officers brought together and assigned to address problems in a certain area. This group of officers are considered specialists and have the expertise that they can contribute to solve whatever problem the Task Force is assigned to address. The Utah County Major Crimes Task Force is made up of individuals from multiple agencies assigned to address the problems of drugs, gangs and violent crimes occurring in Utah County.
The Task Force Board of Directors is made up of representatives (usually the Agency head) of each agency involved in and contributing to the Task Force and Utah County Attorney, with the Chairman of the board being Chief Gary Giles with the Orem Police Department. The Utah County Major Crimes Task Force is comprised of fourteen local Police Agencies within Utah County to include State, Local and Federal Law Enforcement Agencies.
The supervisors of the Task Force are approved by the board.

An apple a day keeps the doctor at bay, so the old wives' tale goes. But so might certain videogames, now that researchers have finally quantified the benefits of playing active games like Wii Sports.
In a study of 15 young 'uns by Nottingham Trent University, the Department of Health and Nottingham University Hospital, researchers continuously measured children's heart rates during ten-minute periods of play.
Energy expenditure was determined at rest, while playing "traditional videogames" - those not requiring much movement, in other words - and while playing physical titles.
"Active gameplay" can help raise kids body energy expenditure by up to 42 per cent above the amount expended while playing traditional videogames, the Notts boffins discovered.
This led the team to calculate that, if your youngster played Wii Sports for 60 minutes every day of the year then they could burn off up to 3.4kg (7.5lbs) of body fat over that 12-month period

Updated 11:43 am ET President Barack Obama's fiscal cliff negotiator, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, predicted on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday that congressional Republicans will accept Obama's plan to raise income tax rates and limit deductions on people making $200,000 and over. "I think we're going to get there," he told NBC's David Gregory.
He said if Republican leaders have their own alternative ways to reduce federal deficits, they need to offer Obama their proposals.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner made the Sunday morning talk show rounds, saying "the only thing that stands in the way of a deal right now is if a group of Republican members decide they're going to block a deal." NBC's Mike Viqueira reports.
"We need to know what they're prepared to do on (tax) rates and revenues and we need to know what they're prepared to do on the spending side," he said.
So far, Geithner said, they have not said "who should pay higher taxes."
In contrast, Geithner said, Obama has been specific, for example, about how he'd shift more of the burden of paying for Medicare to affluent retirees: his fiscal year 2013 budget proposal would increase premiums and co-payments for higher-income Medicare beneficiaries, starting in 2017.
"If the Republicans don't like those ideas and they want to do it differently (or) they want to go beyond that, then they have to tell us what makes sense for them and then we can take a look at it," he said.
Geithner is leading the bargaining with GOP leaders on how to avoid the "fiscal cliff" –Washington jargon for the combination of tax increases and spending reductions which are scheduled to occur under current law at the end of the year and which the Congressional Budget Office has said would tip the economy into a recession.
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Sens. Bob Corker and Claire McCaskill detail the ins and outs of the efforts to reach a deal to avert the fiscal cliff.
With 29 days left to reach an agreement on avoiding the fiscal cliff, neither GOP leaders nor the president seem to be taking steps toward an accord.
Two senators who were re-elected last month, Sen. Claire McCaskill, D- Mo., and Sen. Bob Corker, R- Tenn., also appeared on Meet the Press to comment on the fiscal cliff negotiations.
Corker said he supported "closing loopholes" which he called "a pro-growth way of getting more revenues from wealthy Americans." He predicted that ultimately "cooler heads will prevail" and the two sides will agree on a deal.
Corker said that in the fiscal cliff bargaining Obama had not yet proposed additional curbs on Medicare and other entitlement spending and he predicted "you're not going to have a deal until that happens."
McCaskill said if current tax rates expire at year end, then "we would come back in January first thing and pass a tax cut" along the lines of Obama's proposal. "Are the Republicans going to vote 'no' on that?" she asked incredulously.
On Medicare, McCaskill said she would support "more aggressive means testing from higher co-pays from those people who can afford it." In his Fiscal Year 2013 budget blueprint Obama proposed higher premiums and co-payments for higher-income Medicare recipients, cutting $28 billion in federal spending over ten years.
Americans for Tax Reform founder Grover Norquist discusses remarks made by Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner on Meet the Press.
But liberal Democrats have opposed that idea, saying it could erode support for Medicare among upper-income people, leading them to opt out of the program. "This will end Medicare as we know it," said Rep. Allyson Schwartz, D- Pa., last spring when Republicans adopted Obama's higher premium and co-pays idea as part of the negotiations over how to offset the cost of cutting the Social Security payroll tax.
Obama's initial fiscal cliff bargaining position has been that income tax rates and tax preferences enacted since 2001 should remain in effect for single earners making less than $200,000 a year and for married couples filing joint return who make less than $250,000.
In a statement Sunday, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi urged House Speaker John Boehner to bring to the floor a bill already passed by the Senate to continue current income tax rates for people making less than $200,000.
She said if Boehner "refuses to schedule this widely-supported bill for a vote, Democrats will introduce a discharge petition to automatically bring to the floor the Senate-passed middle class tax cuts." A discharge petition is procedure by which a bill may be forced out of a committee and onto the House floor for a vote. The Democrats would need to get 218 members of the House to sign a discharge petition in order for this procedure to succeed.
Republican leaders oppose any tax increase, although they would agree to a redesign of the income tax system that could raise more revenues for the federal government by ending or curtailing some deductions and other tax breaks.
The GOP leaders also want some plan for reductions in spending on Medicare and other entitlements.
The fiscal cliff refers to:
- The expiration at year end of tax reductions enacted in 2001, 2003, 2009, and 2010.
- A 27 percent cut in Medicare's payment rates for doctors' services.
- A ten percent cut in defense spending and an 8 percent cut in nondefense spending -- cuts mandated by the Budget Control Act which Obama signed into law in 2010 as a part of a deal with Republicans to get them to agree to raise the federal government's borrowing limit.
- The end of emergency unemployment benefits.
- The end of a temporary reduction of 2 percentage points in the Social Security payroll tax which was in effect this year and in 2011.
In addition the Affordable Care Act will impose, starting in January, a new 3.8 percent Medicare payroll tax on income above $200,000 and will expand the tax to cover investment income as well as wage and salary income.
About two-thirds of the fiscal cliff comes from the impending tax increases scheduled to take effect at the beginning of 2013 under current law.
According to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, "Taxes would rise by more than $500 billion in 2013—an average of almost $3,500 per household—as almost every tax cut enacted since 2001 would expire."
A report issued in October by the Center found that almost 90 percent of Americans would see their taxes rise unless Congress and the president agree to change current law. "For most households, the two biggest increases would be the expiration of the temporary cut in Social Security taxes and the expiration of the 2001/2003 tax cuts," the report said.

616 Lofts growth in Grand Rapids, Battle Creek is 'exciting'
Unique property manager is expected to add hundreds of units to its holdings.
616 Development will wrap up its renovation of the Kendall Building at 16 Monroe Center at the end of this month, and 616 Lofts will begin moving residents into the dozen apartments during the first week of October. According to 616 Lofts Director of Community Development Monica Clark, all but two of the units are leased.
The addition of 616 Lofts at Kendall will bring the firm's total number of units to 68. That number will jump to 90 in May, when 616 Lofts on Prospect is expected to open in the converted Bethlehem Church at 253 Prospect Ave. NE. The Heritage Hill site will have 22 apartments.
Then, a year or so from now, the number will rise by roughly 65 units when 269 Lofts at Battle Creek opens. The firm's first venture outside of Grand Rapids also will include a hotel that will have a separate manager.
"We don't have the project finalized at this point. But we are planning on having between 60 and 65 units," said Clark of the plans for the Heritage Tower development.
"In Battle Creek, we will hire a community manager who will be focused on that local community. We want to keep that local focus because it's a big part of who we are and what we do. We want somebody who loves that community, so we will hire a Battle Creek local to help build the connections into that market and we will support the other departments from our office here."
Four departments make up 616 Lofts: community management, marketing, facility maintenance and accounting. The firm doesn't adhere to the traditional method of property management because its primary goal is to create a community among its residents and, in turn, get the residents involved with the larger community in which they live.
The firm's community manager plays a pivotal role in reaching that goal. Caitlin Kennon holds that position at 616 Lofts and deals directly with the residents.
"We spend a lot of time educating our residents on downtown living — where they can park and where can they go, what it's like living in smaller spaces and things like that," said Clark. "We do that through social media, blogging and events.
"We also have a program called the 616 Pass. This is our way of connecting with local retailers, restaurants, and anybody in the local community that has a business here that would like to offer some sort of special perk or benefit to our residents."
Clark said 616 Lofts hosts four events each month as a way to get its residents more engaged locally. One of those events allows business owners who are partners in the 616 Pass program to introduce themselves to the residents and talk about what they offer.
Another interesting aspect of the firm's management practice is to designate a resident liaison for every 616 Lofts — a sort of go-to person for the other residents who serves as an assistant to Kennon.
"Basically, their job is to keep very well connected to the residents in each building," said Clark.
"Obviously, as we grow, it becomes hard for just one community manager to have a really good and strong connection like we want to with all of our residents. We are available for them at all times, and our liaisons are there for the residents if they have anything they want to talk about. They also help to get them involved in events and promote our Pass partners. They show units and give us feedback."
All the feedback goes directly to Kennon. The same resident liaison system and a similar 269 Pass program will be established for Kennon's counterpart in Battle Creek, who will manage the community there.
"Establishing the same drive and energy for that area is going to be super beneficial," said Clark.
Kennon joined 616 Lofts in December, and Clark said she is a fast learner and has the personal strengths that made her right for the job, such as being a good social connector and relating well to others.
"I think it's just natural for her to be able to connect with residents," said Clark. "She has just been great."
The firm's growth also has been great and it's going to get greater.
"In 2014 and 2015, we plan to bring on a total of 400 additional units," said Clark, who added that 616 Lofts will continue to use the same management model it employs today for those apartments.
"We've got a lot of projects planned for the next couple of years so we're looking forward to connecting in the same way. It's exciting."

In 2007, two economists released a study arguing that in NBA seasons from 1991 to 2004, white referees called more fouls against black players than against white players, and the NBA got angry. On Wednesday, TrueHoop's Henry Abbott broke down the story.
Joe Price and Justin Wolfers initially shared the information with the New York Times. It took very little time for David Stern to declare that racism "doesn't exist in the NBA" and that the entire study was a "bum rap." And you'd think it might have blown over by now, with this whole post-racial thing settling in any day now, but it hasn't! Last week, Price and Wolfers republished their findings "in one of the most respected, peer-reviewed academic journals in the field," the Quarterly Journal of Economics.
The greatest supporting evidence for the study's findings, to glibly sum up Abbott's very interesting explanation, is the not-very-well-kept secret that everyone's a little bit racist. "The best experts agree, after rigorous review and much consideration," he writes, "that there is a low level of implicit bias among NBA officials, just as there is among people all over the globe. The essential findings of the report published Friday are the same as what [the NBA] reacted to so strongly in 2007."

Extremely malicious or mind-numbingly incompetent or both; the only ways to understand U.S. policy in Syria and the wider Middle East - Sunday 21st to Saturday 27th of January
It was a relatively slow news week so I hope my summation of the week's events shall be quite brief.
In Syria, American bungling is reaching titanic levels - in the modern conception of the word "titanic".
The U.S. said that it would back a Kurdish border force, upon which Turkey promptly initiated a military campaign against Kurdish regions in northern Syria. Now the U.S. is telling Turkey that it should be careful about what it is doing there, and Turkey is responding by asking the Americans what gives them the right to be in Syria in the first place. A major political confrontation between NATO allies is at hand, and if we are lucky it could escalate to a military confrontation and help bring about the end of this out-dated organisation.
I am at times left wondering whether the American leadership - and this is no different under Trump - is simply incompetent or malicious, and I always fall back on malicious because I have a hard time believing that anybody could be as ignorant as the Americans would have to be to think that they would be able to arm a 30,000-strong Kurdish militia while expecting Turkey to sit on the sidelines watching by. My take on this is that the Americans want Turkey in Syria and in order to do this they had to provoke them into a military confrontation. The resentment from the Turks over this certainly seems genuine, so I dismiss the notion that both sides are acting.
That theory at least leaves the Americans in control of their senses, and is about as charitable as I can be towards American imperialist aggression. We cannot dismiss the notion that they are totally intellectually inept, however, and the number of flip-flops that TIllerson makes would be able to give an ordinary man whiplash.
The Syrians threatened to shoot down Turkish jets if they cross into Syria, but I doubt they will follow through on that threat, given the NATO-menace. This is why we must all hope for the quick disintegration of NATO.
The Bergoglio Vatican continues to lie to us, this time telling us that the award it gave to a pro-abortion, pro-homosexuality, pro-euthanasia Dutch politician was not done in order to honour her, but in order to insult her. No comments needed on that one.
Sticking to the most perverse pseudo-pontificate in history, we were told that Bergoglio's Vatican is asking faithful bishops in China to resign so that the Vatican can reach a deal with China to have communist-appointed bishops. The strange thing about this whole scenario is that Cardinal Zen seems to have been under the impression that Bergoglio was unaware of the Chinese Catholics being sold out. Alas, the Vatican has been quick to issue a correction to his narrative and assured us that the shenanigans of the Vatican diplomatic corps are in lock-step with the thoughts of the most openly communist pope in history.
I have pointed out before that if you do not feel betrayed by Bergoglio, then you have to question your Catholic credentials. Alas, we now know that the Chinese underground Catholics are true Catholics, because they have joined the large group of faithful Catholics which Bergoglio has sold out at one time or another.
The actor Jim Caviezel, who played Jesus Christ in the movie "The Passion of the Christ" by Mel Gibson, recently gave a speech to Catholic university students. It is well-worth watching and listening to if you can stand the annoying introduction which lasts less than 80 seconds, or simply skip the firssty 80 seconds - it's somewhat NovusOrdoist ending not withstanding. In brief, it is more Catholic than what virtually any Novus Ordo bishop in the Church has said since Vatican II. It really put our effeminate episcopacy to shame.
VoxCantoris is angry that Catholics in Canada put the most anti-Catholic ruler they have ever had in that country in power. He referenced an earlier post in which Canada's supreme court came down softly on a bestiality case. I sympathise with him, but must point out that under Anglo-Saxon custom, one can only be charged under crimes which are in the statutes. If the wording of the statutes produces undesirable or immoral outcomes, then the statute has to be changed. This is partially why we have had such broad statutes of late that virtually anybody can be found guilty of some kind of law in the Anglo-Saxon countries. That is not a suitable alternative.
A more suitable alternative would be an Old Testament kind of system in which the judges are presumed to be wise and therefore have much greater leeway in issuing their judgements. That however, reminds me of the old Soviet joke, that "if we had ham, we could make eggs and ham, if we had the eggs". One would need wise judges - who are in short supply in the West nowadays - and a moral code which is virtually universal in society, another thing which doesn't exist in 'modern' Western societies.
Finally, we were treated to a very good quote from Joseph Sobran by Laura Wood, regarding Western aggression in the Middle East:
"Let's face it: Christianity and Islam are eternal enemies. Each makes uncompromising claims of exclusive truth. But this doesn't mean that the secularist-Zionist war on the Islamic world serves any Christian interest or deserves Christian support."
I naturally agree with that completely, and it more or less sums up my view on zionist and Western secular aggression directed against non-Jews in the Middle East - many of these victims being Christians even. It would seem the zionists have co-opted the secularists and the Christian zionists (ignorant as they are of both history and theology) in a battle-of-civilisation which rests on completely false grounds - namely, that Christians and Jews stand on the same side religiously, or even morally.
We were also informed that a traditionalism-leaning monastic community in Germany was closed, and that it didn't have to be closed, but was shut down as part of the anti-Catholic purge which Bergoglio is rewarding.
This week's Bergoglio victim-of-the-week is Chinese Catholics, or rather, the Church in China.

Astros' young bullpen ready to carry load
Collective experience late last season prepared relievers for increased roles
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- It was nothing short of trial by fire. With their bullpen undergoing a massive overhaul in the second half of the season, the Astros called up fresh arms from the Minor Leagues and were forced to put them in big situations under the bright lights of the big leagues.
At one point last August, the Astros featured five rookies in a seven-man bullpen that took its lumps following the trade of veteran closer Jose Veras. Suddenly, it was up to young arms like Josh Fields, Chia-Jen Lo, Josh Zeid and Kevin Chapman -- all of whom made their Major League debuts last year -- to hold leads and close out games.
There were some promising signs and some low points, but the experience the Astros' pup relievers gained in 2013 sets them up to contribute nicely this season.
"It was really fun for us to be able to do that," Chapman said. "It was a blessing for us to get the experience and be in some high-pressure situations at the end of the game and be able to come out and good or bad, you can learn from it either way."
All four of those relievers know nothing is a given this spring, except for some long bus rides and a chance to compete. They're battling for four spots in the bullpen, with veterans Chad Qualls and Matt Albers guaranteed roles and Jesse Crain taking a spot when he's healthy.
There's competition, too, from hard-throwing Anthony Bass and Rhiner Cruz and newcomers Raul Valdes, Peter Moylan and Darin Downs.
"The fact that we have veterans that can teach us starting now and throughout the season, I'm personally extremely excited," Zeid said. "If we mess up, someone's going to get on us. If we don't do the right thing at the right time, someone's going to make sure we know what we did wrong or how to correct ourselves in game, out of game, on the field, off the field."
Getting a chance to pitch for the Astros, a team that was rebuilding, was the perfect situation for Fields.
"We had opportunities here we wouldn't have had on other teams and another organizations," Fields said. "It was a great learning experience for me and a lot of guys. Just the opportunities we had here and the way the team was so young, we had opportunities to fail and chances to get back out there and do it again. That was what was nice to know -- they were going to give us shots."
The signings of Qualls, Albers, Crain and Moylan should lead to an improved bullpen. Last year, the Astros finished last in the Majors with a 4.90 ERA by the relief corps and tied for the lead with 29 blown saves with the D-backs. So bolstering the bullpen with vets was vital.
"I absolutely love the fact that we have veterans on our team," Zeid said. "Even though five or six relievers got called up last year, we're all still rookies and none of us really know how to play a game at the Major League level. We may have [little] experience, but there's still a lot of things we can learn.
"Chad and Matt have been great and we can't wait to see Jesse throw, but for now Chad and Matt have been great coaches and great mentors, and I can't wait to see how that works out."
Zeid, a right-hander, made his Major League debut on July 30 at Baltimore and wound up making 25 relief appearances, posting a 3.90 ERA in 27 2/3 innings. He stranded 15 of 17 inherited runners and allowed a .178 average against left-handed hitters.
"There's a little bit of an element of surprise," Zeid said. "When everybody is a rookie or doesn't have a lot of experience, a lot of the hitters may take us for granted. Who really knows? It's one of those things where competition really does come into play. If Chappy goes out there and throws up a zero, of if he leaves a runner on, we all want to come in and shut the door because we're all new to this."
Chapman, a left-hander, was called up Aug. 9 and set a franchise record by not allowing an earned run in his first 13 Major League appearances. He stranded 16 of 19 inherited runners and held opponents to a .183 batting average.
"Baseball is the type of thing, the more experience you have the better," Chapman said. "It's a game where you're constantly learning, and having guys like that in the pen is definitely going to help all of us and anybody who comes up throughout the year."
Lo, a right-hander, was called up along with Zeid, though he came straight from Double-A. He made 19 appearances and split the save opportunities with Fields, picking up three saves in five chances. He held lefties to a .128 batting average.
Fields, a right-hander, was on the Astros' 25-man roster the entire season after being taken in the Rule 5 Draft in December 2012. He appeared in 41 games and converted five of six save chances and struck out 40 batters in 38 innings.
The bullpen began to jell in September once it developed camaraderie and had some experience. After posting a 5.71 ERA and converting only six of 16 saves in August, the relievers had a 3.52 ERA and saved four of eight chances in September.
"We definitely had a good time, just getting to know each other," Chapman said. "Once that happened, we were down there and we had some good chemistry going. I feel like that's why towards the end of the year we started doing better and clicking, is we were on each other's sides, we had each other's backs. If one day I came and didn't do my job, somebody would come and pick me up, and vice versa."

what's your chinese zodiac?
i'm a horse!! (yay, i'm rin!! XD)
fav char? yuki!!
Hehe, I adore Furuba. ^^.
Whislt the art stle be not my favourite, I thoroughly enjoy it!
My corresponding character is Hiro, because I'm the year of the sheep.
He's so cool, I love him.
My favourite characters...well, I liek all of them! it's nearly impossible to choose...probably...Shigure! no Aayame...NO MOMIJI. I love him too. They're all great. ^^.
i love fruits basket, great series! i've got no fave character as they're all cool (except for Akito) and my zodiac is rooster. i always smile when yuki's bro appears though, amusing fella
I absoloutly love Furuba! My fav characters would probably be shigure, ayame and hatori. Shigure and Ayame are just so stupid but hilarious and hatori who is always making sarcatic remarks at them makes it even more funny ^___^. My zodiac is ritsu (monkey)
I'm a sheep (Hiro).Though I haven't read it yet, Furuba is definately a must manga I have to read, but I haven't done it yet because I know I will get really addicted to it so I'm waiting for a vacation... like this week (I bet I'm gonna read it tomorrow or so ^^)
Im a seahorse ~.~ dragon actually. I love furuba. My fav char in furuba is Rin, Haru and Manabe. Very dissapointed with the gf though. Typical type. I expect more. Furuba is gonna end soon. Most of the mysteries is reveal bit by bit.
yeah, i'm currently reading off some scanlations, instead of reading the actual books...
and the way akito gets so jealous of tohru...i just wanna smack akito..!!
(going to avoid pronoun use...for those of you who know what i mean)
and dangggggg yuki is being SUCH a stud...getting at tohru like that. XD haha.
i only said stud because it doesn't suit him at all..^^;;
rin really...mirrors me, i think.
well, slightly exaggerated, but you know...
when she said stuff like "i wanna go home now" or something to protect haru..
that's something i would have done.
pretend like nothing was going on...
and plus, she's stubborn and has a sharp tongue that doesn't mean much. =p
T-T i dun want furuba to end...
i <3 tohru's friends...haha.
a "yankee" and a "psychic"...XD
what an odd trio, neh?

Odd but remind me of the mabudachi trio (ayame, hatori and shigure) for some reason.

i love tohru's pals! they're so cool, especially hana and her mysterious powers~ yeah, i believe furuba's gonna end soon as they're all in the third year already. being a shoujo manga, the artist wouldn't give it a sad ending right? right??
Yup. Definitely gonna end soon. Well since the main problem which is akito seems like it is solve and <Spoiler>
three of the jyuunishi's curse has been lift off.
<Spoiler>. relationships seems to be going on a right path. So it will be more likely to end with a happy ending.
Oh I thought Furuba already ended O.o Maybe I'll wait with reading the scans then (can't find the manga here T-T) Because I hate to wait for scans.
oh i really forgot! chap 126 is out 2 days ago >.< Looking through it now ~.~
watcha all think of akito's complexes?
a) the one about being inferior to tohru
b) the one about...well, i guess this is a spoiler? you know...why his mom raised him the way she did...
Heheh, I'm a rat and one of my favourite characters are Yuki so it's all well XD
I must say, Fruits Basket is one of the first manga that I found online... it sure has been around for ages ^^;;;; I used to love this manga, but now you can say it's cooled down a whole lot~ Having read so many other mangas I can't really say that it's one of my favourites anymore. However I do read it from time to time and that is nice because I get to read several chapters at once thus keeping up my interest for a while._________________Thanx to Joanne Kuang for the awesome avatar!
i'm not sure it'll be fair to discuss about akito here if there are many who haven't read till that part. we'll be revealing a lot more to spoil the fun neh? unless we have a 'spoiler room' posted on the thread or something XD
however, i can tell ou my opnion of akito: pitiful, but needs to wake up to reality and get a life.

Tina Fey is so smart, sharp, and funny in her television work and on the page that it remains a mystery to me why she continually cancels herself out as a movie actress, most pointedly in "The Invention of Lying" and "Date Night."
In Paul Weitz's "Admission," she plays Portia, a Princeton admissions counselor who becomes a crusader for an unlikely but precocious candidate from an alternative high school run by Paul Rudd's John. (The boy is very well played by Nat Wolff.) Granted, this is not automatic laugh-riot material, nor should it be, but didn't Fey recognize how hackneyed it all is? Does being a movie star mean blanding out everything that makes you special? Grade: C- (Rated PG-13 for language and some sexual material.)


text: Monday, July 29, 2013 Updated MMR Complaint Form, Proposed Rule Summaries Now on APTA.org New APTA web resources will help members stay up-to-date on Medicare policies and proposals: To help members navigate the 2 types of manual medical review (MMR) of Medicare claims for patients whose annual therapy costs exceed $3,700, APTA has created an MMR State Resources page, including a map and a detailed explanation of the process. As of April 1, recovery auditor contractors (RACs) complete either prepayment review or postpayment review of applicable claims, depending on the state of the provider. An updated Medicare Therapy Cap information page includes a link to the MMR State Resources page as well as to a revamped Manual Medical Review Complaint Form. APTA encourages members to complete this complaint form if they are experiencing problems with MMR. APTA staff will contact members within 2 business days of receiving the complaint form. APTA has posted a summary for the proposed rule released by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for the home health prospective payment system for 2014. The rule proposes to remove 2 categories of ICD-9-CM codes from the HH PPS Grouper; reduce the national, standardized 60-day episode rate of 3.5% annually 2014–2017; increase each of the per-visit payment rates for low-utilization payment adjustments of 3.5% annually 2014–2017; and add 2 claims-based quality measures. This proposed rule is open for comment until August 26. APTA has posted a summary of the CMS proposed rule to revise the Medicare hospital outpatient prospective payment system (OPPS) and the Medicare ambulatory surgical center (ASC) payment system for 2014. Among other changes, the rule proposes to expand the categories of related items and services packaged into a single payment for a primary service under the OPPS, to make the OPPS more of a prospective payment system. Specifically, the proposed rule would add 7 categories of supporting services and create 29 comprehensive ambulatory payment classification groups (APCs) to replace 29 existing device-dependent APCs. This proposed rule is open for comment until September 6.

Whitmarsh 'very sad' to lose Hamilton
- News:
Hamilton 'quite numb' after final race for McLaren
- Report:
Vettel secures third title in epic season finale
- Race:
- Brazilian Grand Prix
- Drivers:
- Lewis Hamilton
- |
- Martin Whitmarsh
- Teams:
- McLaren
Martin Whitmarsh admitted that he felt "very sad" at the end of the Brazilian Grand Prix after Lewis Hamilton's final race for McLaren.
Hamilton retired from the lead when being hit by Nico Hulkenberg, bringing a premature end to his final race before joining Mercedes. 2013 will mark the first time Hamilton has competed in Formula One in anything other than a McLaren and Whitmarsh admitted it was an emotional evening in Brazil before turning attentions to the future.
"I'm very sad about it because I've known him personally for over 15 years," Whitmarsh said. "I've seen him through some great, great moments. He's a great human being, a great asset to any team, so of course I'm disappointed he's going. It's emotional, but we're a tough team, we've got to get on.
"We've got the makings of a good car next year, he's been a friend and a colleague for a long time; next year he'll be a competitor and we'll try and beat him. We'll have - I'm sure - a good relationship, we'll compete appropriately but we'll go out there and see how we get on."
Whitmarsh added that he felt no animosity towards Hulkenberg for the incident which ended Hamilton's race.
"For Lewis not to finish on the podium was a bit disappointing but that's how it happens in motor racing. It was an incredibly exciting race for everyone; great for the championship, great for the fans. Jenson [Button] did it all right, Lewis did it all right and was the victim of Nico. It was a racing incident, I accept that, but a tough one for the team and a tough one for Lewis."

How do you know if your hook knife is sharp enough to cut a kite line?
How do you know if the knife that you carry, while kiting, is the best one?
How can you tell if your hook knife blade edge has become too dull to be useful?
Two answers come to mind:
(1) Test it.
(2) Take the advice of a self-appointed or certified "expert"

" Without tuck in - scale is nothing "
That is just plain awesome... Im sorry if it was explained in a video i havent watched yet.. But are you doing ALL the work you can with the scale equipment? Or just having a little fun with it along the way? Either way, that is exrememly cool...
Great replies everyone, thank you!
Ole, I should be able to drag it out for a few more yrs yet, several cubic yards to go from the south wall and then there's 20 inches to take from the floor.
Jim511, most every video states who made the model, be it Wedico or Stahl or Tamiya. The only model built completely from scratch is the bottom dumper B train with some parts taken from the Tamiya flatbed trl kits. My excavators are eight yrs old, they were alot cheaper then than they are now, but then the model excavators of today are alot more detailed with better working parts. My next track hoe will be a Wedico & it's "rumored" to be a Caterpillar 345.
SebringMGB, I never did any talking or script in the vids. There is a purpose to all this maddness and it has been ask & answered a few times before, so I'll just copy & paste from another forum. And yes, I try to do as much as I can with the scale equipment.
Early August of 02 it rained 8" in 7 days and I had forgot to replace the eave extension on the NE corner of the house after cutting my grass the wk or so before. Alot of moisture soaked up in the NE corner of the basement & a month or so later a big chunk of the dirt wall fell off & was strewn acoss the floor, partially blocking the entry way into my water well.
I got started in this radio controlled heavy commercial hobby in the Spring of 97 with a Tamiya King Hauler & flatbed trl. By the time of this "cave in" in 02 I had aquired a bulldozer & trackhoe rc models from Germany & worked away at cleaning up this mess with them during the winter months when things are slow on the farm. I trucked the dirt to another corner of the basement, out of the way.
I found it to be great entertainment & after getting all of it cleared away.... well.... then there was just another mess in the other corner of the basement. LOL I had to do something with it & I also thought I'd better crib the walls with wood to prevent any future cave-ins that could affect the foundation. While I was at it, I thought I'd make the area down there a little larger too by trimming back the dirt walls a couple of feet & when it's finnished a couple of yrs from now, then I'll pour a cement floor too.
It's been a great hobby thus far, dreaming up - building all sorts of different minature equipment from kits or from scratch for this "mining" project. If it wasn't for this mining project I probably would have lost of interest in this hobby by now b/c once the models are built - the novelty of how they work & perform would wear off with no task to be accomplished them.
I have a yellow dump trk (Tamiya Mammoth) and I trucked dirt out of the basement, approx 2 cu yds the summer of 05, up a wooden ramp 16" wide, most of that dirt being what had originally fell off the wall to begin this excavation.
The summer of 06 I built a 4" belt conveyor & moved out over twice that amount. And so far I've only accomplished mining the east wall. The south wall (longer part of the house) has nearly twice the material to be mined away. I won't be finnishing this "project" anytime soon.
If you wish to know about each model in the fleet, I have a thread on the Garden with over 800 pics and lots of script of what I have been doing for the last four yrs in the basement. Hauling Dirt out of my Basement Some ppl have commented recently that it has taken them over 4hrs to get through it all.
Joe i have been meaning to reply but it takes a while to get through all of those video's. Great Job as always.
Thats what they call a work in Progress.
[quote=protrker;343470] My next track hoe will be a Wedico & it's "rumored" to be a Caterpillar 345.
I think I can change that status from rumor to confirmed. See below for e-mail reply I received from Wedico.
Hi Ole,
yes we are thinking about an excavator, but we have to wait for the planed facelifting of the original CAT 345.
I think we will not have it before end of 2009.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards

" Without tuck in - scale is nothing "
Good to hear you found the thread interesting DODweb.
Thanx for the kind words Jimmy, appreciated.
That is good news Ole, thanx for looking into that for me. But not so good that the 345 may not be in production for more than a yr yet. An excavator is certainly a much less complicated model to design than their previous two offerings, I thought it would have come to the consumer sooner.
I betcha a hi-drive dozer will be next?!
