The Eclipse EffectBreak Down or Break Through
December 4th, 2002: Total Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius
Turning a crisis into an opportunity is the modern way of looking at the eclipse effect. Don't get stuck, get a grip. If you bury your head in the sand, then circumstances will force you to make long overdue changes. Better by far to stay ahead of the game, and volunteer for the inevitable. That way you have a better chance of staying in control of events and directing your future path.
Solar eclipses happen every six months, in different cycles which recur every 18.5 years (the Saros Cycle). The sign and cycle in which the eclipse occurs will tell you which area of your activities is shouting for a shakeup.
In the rundown below read your Sun sign and your Ascendant sign. [If you don't know your ascendant, go to www.star4cast.com FREE Birth Charts and it will calculate it for you.]
Take time to work out what happened to you personally 18.5 years ago, or 37. The two major domestic/country moves in my life took place exactly that distance apart in the years of eclipses in the same cycle. And I only worked that one out after the decision was taken.
This approaching December solar eclipse in Sagittarius will obviously have more effect on Sagittarian Sun or Ascendant types, who are at a real turning point in their lives. Geminis are looking closely at relationships. The other mutable signs, Virgo and Pisces are focusing on home and work matters. Taurus and Scorpio are money-minded; Capricorn and Cancer have work and health dilemmas; Leo and Aquarius are trying to balance love and friendships; Aries and Libra are grappling with nitty gritty communication and organisational matters. More details below.
This eclipse cycle won't recur until 2020, so this is your chance to take the initiative, ask yourself fundamental questions about what you really want to do with this area of your life, and then make the radical decisions necessary.
The few days before and after an eclipse are usually fraught, highly strung, rather nervy, with few (except astrology followers) understanding why everyone is so on edge. The eclipse effect carries a major theme for the following six months and will be felt for a few weeks in advance, so there's no sense in delaying until December 4th. Get your thinking cap on.
In primitive days, the ancients' view of eclipses was that the darkening of the Sun was a portent of doom, putting them at the mercy of the fates. But these were highly superstitious people, with no sense of control of their lives. Eclipses can provoke crises, bringing unwanted upheavals, but nowadays you can chose your attitude and your strategy.
Some world leaders have lives which seem eerily to follow eclipses:
Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, released and became President on the exact week of eclipses.
Saddam Hussein launched and then lost the Gulf War on an extraordinary series of eclipse driven events. He gathered his troops on the borders of Kuwait on the lunar eclipse in late July 1990, two weeks before the solar eclipse on which date the UN mandate to oppose him was agreed. In the following January on the next Solar eclipse, the Gulf War was launched.
Princess Diana died one day before a solar eclipse conjunct the potent, furiously angry Mars Pluto conjunction in Virgo in her chart.The previous eclipse in the same series 18.5 years before fell within days of the assassination of the Earl of Mountbatten, Prince Charles' uncle.
John F. Kennedy Jnr was killed in a plane crash days before the major 1999 solar eclipse, which was the same cycle as oversaw the death of his stillborn baby brother and indeed the assassination of his father, two cycles before.
For those of us not caught up in world events, the effects are likely to be much less dramatic or tragic, but they are significant if you really want to grow and develop as a human being.
This December Solar Eclipse is in a tricky Saros Cycle, usually accompanying a mood of high frustration, intense emotional reactions and a sense of being stuck with circumstances or relationship matters, seemingly beyond personal control. To add to the general feeling of angst, power-hungry Pluto is close to the eclipse, and the dreary Saturn opposition comes a few days later, though admittedly optimistic Jupiter in Leo is trying to add a dash of good luck as well from a trine. Bernadette Brady in The Eagle and the Lark remarks that rash action is inadvisable. GW Bush might do well to pay heed.
For most of us these are tough times, with anchors dragging, and generally a sense that life is quite a struggle. Roll on the end of the Saturn Pluto opposition mid 2003, and bring on the joyous eclipses of next year. So it's grit your teeth and make the best of it for now. Here's how:
Sun and Ascendant Sign:
SAGITTARIUS: An eclipse in your own sign says you are at a crossroads and must chose your path for the next few years. Decisions need to be pondered because there will be no backtracking. Make up your mind, get committed and then get moving. If you look the other way and ignore the eclipse effect, then a crisis in the next few months will force you to see where you have been over compromising. Be independent, don't rely on others for advice, let alone be diverted onto your partner's agenda. It ain't easy, but you do have choices.
GEMINI: Close emotional and work partnerships and your whole attitude to sharing, caring and relating are under the microscope. You must move into a more co-operative frame of mind, tolerant, flexible and willing to compromise. As an independent, restless air sign, none of this comes naturally. Old relationships may be under strain and on the point of parting company. Do they really suit your needs? Only you know the answer. Strong bonds will weather the storms. New relationships will come as you clear the decks of psychological debris from the past.
VIRGO: At an outer level, ensuring you have a solid, secure home and domestic base where you can put down roots is your cri de Coeur. At an inner level you are moving away from old ways of relating and refusing to be trapped by family members or loved ones who want you to stay exactly where and as you are. Pushed and pulled by opposing demands from heavy work responsibilities and emotional pressures, you need to put your own needs first. When your dilemma threatens to get on top of you, go dig the garden, walk in nature, or have a Californian massage. Getting in touch with earth energy will help.
PISCES: Is a career crisis looming? Maybe it's a hint from the universe that you are heading in the wrong direction and trying to fit your talents into the wrong box. You know you want to make your mark on the world, and have your achievements recognised, but you have to be fulfilling what truly feels like a vocation for that to happen. With Pluto around, you will also be questioning your attitude to power figures and who holds the control. Maybe you can't be the megalomaniac you'd like, but you need to ensure that no one else is pulling your strings at work either. Push family responsibilities into their proper place and focus on your ambitions.
TAURUS: Two things are dear to your heart – one is money and the other is power (OK and sex is in there somewhere as well). Your sense of security may be shaken because circumstances seemingly outside your control seem to be posing a threat to your power and prosperity base. This solar eclipse falling in the deepest, most hidden area of your chart suggests you need to get right down to rock bottom to find fundamental answers to your present sticky situation. As a fixed sign you expect the world and other people to adapt to you, rather than the other way round. This eclipse says you need to share, care, co-operate and relate in a profoundly different way in future if you are to improve joint finances and spark up your sex life in the months to come – and avoid a crisis. Hanging on for too much control, could backfire. Trust the universe and go with the flow.
SCORPIO: Money is on your mind, not joint finances as with Taurus, but your own personal piggy-bank. In the face of ungenerous influences, you know you need to take a major initiative to shake up your finances to bring prosperity in the coming months. Luckily your formidable stamina will stand you in good stead, and Jupiter also helps at your mid-heaven, bringing a hint of career success. But you can't afford to dither around, praying for a lottery win or a long-lost relative to leave you a fortune. Get real, get thinking, and then get working.
CAPRICORN: A hidden eclipse in the sign before yours sparks up psychological tensions, uncomfortable echoes of unresolved issues from the past and a general feeling of stuck-ness. If you can see the awkward events happening around you as useful pointers, reflections of what is going on at an inner level, then you can make real use of this eclipse. Not naturally an inward-looking sign, you may need to force yourself to ask the probing questions that will bring profound answers. Don't be put off by imagining you will find all manner of horrors. On the contrary you will find you are a richer, stronger personality than you could have imagined. Your unlived emotions tend to put extra strain on your body, so be good to yourself physically by reaching for a deeper self-understanding.
CANCER: Sagittarius is your area for work and health. You will be facing a dilemma about how to regenerate your career, improve your working conditions and build up your general health. The likelihood with Pluto in place is that you will be meeting resistance in your efforts, but don't let that put you off. Pluto can produce solidly substantial results, but it usually takes a struggle and strong determination. Don't meet unco-operative workmates head on in a stalemate battle. Duck and dive a little. Aim for influence, not outright control. Realise also you have to let go certain old ambitions which have lost their fire. Physically you need to pay better attention to your body's needs, get even minor ailments fixed, and then you will sail ahead in robust form.
LEO: Love may be on your mind, but it may not be what you are attracting. This eclipse will make you aware of where you are not getting the affection, admiration and adoration you want from loved ones, children or even social mates. Tricky, I know, to be exuberant and utterly seductive with the wet-blanket Saturn-Pluto around. But this is your challenge. You need to allow your personality to shine brightly, to step out without apology or doubt, to be where you feel fulfilled which is centre stage. Two thoughts: one is that what you lack, you must first give. Have you been too meagre in handing out kisses, cuddles and compliments? Go to it. The second is that Pluto tends to make you clutch if you feel you are not getting attention. Let go. If you cage loved ones in, they will struggle to break free.
AQUARIUS: Always known as the humanitarian sign, this could be your chance to make a real difference to the society or world in which you live. Certainly you know you need to widen your circle of friends and acquaintances in the months, if not years to come, but don't keep stick to a frivolous, exclusively social agenda. You could join hands with influential movers and shakers to have a powerful influence on what is going on around you. You also know you need to nudge yourself into setting long term goals. Don't just think five year plan, think 20 year plan. It doesn't have to be set in concrete, you can adapt as you go along, but you will be better with a broad strategy and well defined goals.
ARIES: Travel, communication, improving your mind – all of these are sparked off by this eclipse, which is generally prompting you to broaden your horizons in whichever you can. Set your sights higher. Let your imagination soar. Think big, don't get bogged down in trivia. Saturn Pluto is hardly an exciting or inspirational overlay, but nonetheless this is your challenge. You need to spread your ideas to a wider audience, find more intellectual stimulation and see where you can get yourself out of a rut.
LIBRA: Sorting out your everyday schedule may not sound like a bundle of fun, but if you don't get a grip of minutiae, details and organization, then your life will lack a solid, realistic base. Think about how you communicate. Are you being misunderstood at work? Collect your thoughts first, speak simply and then double check to make sure your message got across. It may not be the content that's at fault, more the delivery.Start each day with a checklist and you won't race round in circles getting in a muddle. Think small for a few months, then you will fly the higher come next May.

New Report Details Levels of Economic Insecurity and Job Quality in the States
New Report Details Levels of Economic Insecurity and Job Quality in the States in the First Half the 2000sNew Approach Improves on Problems with Poverty LineFor Immediate Release: May 20, 2008Contact: Alan Barber, 202-293-5380 x115Washington, dc—The federal poverty line does a poor job of measuring economic insecurity in the United States according to a new report from the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR). In the typical state, 22 percent of people in working families suffer from economic hardship because their earnings and income from other sources, including public work supports and other public benefits, fall below the basic needs budget standard for where they live. By comparison, only 12.6 percent of Americans live below the federal poverty line.The report, “Working Families and Economic Insecurity in the States: The Role of Job Quality and Work Supports,” synthesizes previous CEPR research using a new approach for measuring economic insecurity that addresses the major limitations of the poverty line and analyzes the state of economically insecure families across 45 states and the District of Columbia. To determine how much income a working family needs to "make ends meet", the authors of the report use basic family budgets that take into account the actual costs of goods and services needed to have a decent standard of living, as well as the variations in these costs, depending on where one lives.The researchers also examined the role of public work supports- programs such as child care assistance, the Earned Income Tax Credit, food stamps, health insurance provided through Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program, housing assistance, and income supplements provided through Temporary Assistance- in helping families achieve economic security.“When measuring poverty, the government and most researchers do not take into account most public work supports,” said report co-author Rebecca Ray. “By contrast, when we determine whether a family is able to make ends meet, we take into account the value of all of these benefits.”The report also shows that most economically insecure workers have jobs that pay low wages and provide few or no benefits or “bad Jobs”. Only a minority of jobs nation-wide are “good jobs”, in other words, ones that pay at least $17 an hour and provide health and retirement benefits.“Public work supports play an important and largely unheralded role in promoting economic security and opportunity for working families,” said Shawn Fremstad, co-author of the report and Director of Bridging the Gaps, a CEPR initiative.  “In the typical state, work supports close more than half of the hardship gap—the gap between a working family’s income and the basic family budget for where they live”.The authors of the study point out, however, that substantial numbers of workers in low-paid jobs receive only modest or no help from work support programs.According to the report, which uses data from the 2001-2003 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP)
and the basic family budgets
developed by the Economic Policy Institute, the monthly income of the typical economically insecure family varies from $12,775 a year in Arkansas to $25,047 a year in New Hampshire. The findings of the report also point to a correlation between the number of good or bad jobs and economic security on a state-by-state basis.  The full report can be found here (PDF).###The Center for Economic and Policy Research is an independent, nonpartisan think tank that was established to promote democratic debate on the most important economic and social issues that affect people's lives. CEPR's Advisory Board of Economists includes Nobel Laureate economists Robert Solow and Joseph Stiglitz; Richard Freeman, Professor of Economics at Harvard University; and Eileen Appelbaum, Professor and Director of the Center for Women and Work at Rutgers University

Huddersfield Giants Match Reports
Wigan Warriors v Huddersfield Giants: Examiner pre-season match report
by Chris Roberts, Huddersfield Daily Examiner
Jan 20 2012
NATHAN BROWN said straight after the pre-season defeat at Castleford a week ago that his side needed to put in a lot of hard work before next month’s start of the Super League XVII season.
But judging by last night’s effort against a youthful Wigan at the DW Stadium for Warriors captain Sean O’Loughlin’s testimonial game, there’s probably even more work required than anyone realised!
Yes, the Giants may have won the game 30-18, but that merely papered over some very obvious cracks.
For large parts of this trial contest the Giants looked disjointed on attack and unsure on defence, which must have been a real worry for Brown and his coaching staff, particularly with the League opener at Wigan just around the corner on Sunday, February 5.
And that was despite the Galpharm chief making limited changes to the side that took to the field for the 32-22 defeat at the Tigers.
The only switch in the backs was at centre, with Lee Gilmour taking over from Joe Wardle, who picked up a hip injury in last week’s clash.
In the pack, Dale Ferguson marked his first game of the year following shoulder surgery by moving up from second row to prop.
Another key switch was new signing Tommy Lee shifting from hooker to loose-forward.
Yet while the Giants fielded their strongest available squad, the Warriors sent a largely inexperienced line-up into battle, with just a handful of players with an impressive Super League CV.
Unfortunately, that hardly showed in the opening exchanges as – just like at Castleford – Huddersfield made a shaky start.
On Wigan’s first attack after three minutes they took the lead through their new Australian centre Anthony Gelling, and the scene had been set for a far from encouraging opening 40 minutes.
Although the visitors nudged 6-4 ahead after 12 minutes when Danny Brough followed up his own bomb and then added the conversion, they continued to look unconvincing.
With errors aplenty, the youthful Warriors were only too pleased to take full advantage, crossing for further tries through Gareth Hock and John O’Donnell to make it 12-6 after 28 minutes.
Thank goodness Jack Murphy was off target with his three touchline conversion attempts!

Alabama's coach Grant put his foot down
Releford, Steele set to return for Alabama
Alabama coach Anthony Grant says Trever Releford and Andrew Steele could return to the lineup tonight against Florida after being suspended for a game.
(Mark Almond | Associated Press | File)
By JOHN ZENORAssociated Press
Published: Monday, February 13, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 13, 2012 at 11:27 p.m.
MONTGOMERY — Alabama’s suspension-riddled team expects to get some reinforcements for Tuesday’s game against No. 14 Florida, but leading scorers JaMychal Green and Tony Mitchell won’t be among them.
Crimson Tide coach Anthony Grant said Monday that guards Trevor Releford and Andrew Steele will “most likely” return for a game that could supply a huge boost for the NCAA tournament hopes of a team once flirting with the top 10 — or a second-straight setback minus key players.“The main thing right now for our guys to understand is the importance of making good decisions and understanding the consequences when you make poor decisions and then moving on from that and learning from that,” Grant said. “So we’re dealing with that. It’s disappointing and unfortunate that we have to deal with this in the middle of the season. “It is what it is, so right now as a team we have to focus on the things we can control, and we have a very challenging game here against a very talented opponent in Florida. We have to get ready to play the game.”Grant suspended Green, Releford and Steele indefinitely just before Saturday’s loss at LSU for violating team rules, sending them packing for Tuscaloosa before tipoff.That was also the second game of Mitchell’s suspension.The disciplinary actions left the Tide (16-8, 5-5 Southeastern Conference) without players responsible for 69 percent of its scoring, 57 percent of rebounding and 54 percent of assists at a time when the stakes are ratcheted up. Green and Mitchell are the team’s top scorers and rebounders, while Releford leads Alabama in assists and Steele is a key role player.Grant said his decision to hold the players out had much to do with the long-term quality of the program and trying to build “the values and standards that you want your team to represent.” He hasn’t elaborated on the reasons for the suspensions.Grant declined to say if the violations of Mitchell and Green were more serious, but reiterated that their suspension remained indefinite.“I don’t want to get into that, that’s just the way it is right now,” he said.This is the third time Grant has suspended Green, a first-team All-SEC player, during his three seasons, including a three-game string early last season and one game at the end of 2009-10.Grant didn’t rule it out when asked if he had a “three-strike” policy that might keep Green from returning.“I’ll make some decisions on that later,” he said. “Right now my focus is on getting prepared for Florida.”Alabama had risen to No. 12 in the rankings in December and won three straight before the LSU game.The bold decision on the suspensions was no surprise to Gators coach Billy Donovan, who was Grant’s boss for a dozen years at Marshall and Florida.“I know Anthony Grant about as well as anybody, and I think that he has got incredible integrity and character and knows exactly the way he wants his program run and what he’s going to do,” Donovan said.The Tide’s eight remaining players — half of them freshmen — managed to come fairly close before losing 67-58 to LSU, with freshman Rodney Cooper scoring 28 points. Alabama had beaten Auburn by 18 points without Mitchell.Now comes a much bigger challenge, even with Releford and Steele.The Gators (19-6, 7-3) opened last March with a 78-51 rout of a Tide team that still had aspirations of winning an SEC title and making the NCAA field.Florida is also short-handed, but because of injuries. The Gators won’t have their top subs, forward Will Yeguete (concussion) and guard Mike Rosario (bruised hip), for the game, Donovan

Underground Utility Lines
August 4, 2008
By jeffcheney 1 Comment
Â
There has been a great deal of discussion the last few weeks about theabove ground utility lines along Eldorado.Â Â Shelly Slater, Channel 8 News, even covered the issue in her news report.Â  See the story HEREÂ Â
This item will be discussed this Tuesdy, August 5th, at our City Council meeting.Â  The staff report we were provided isÂ attached below:
Â Â Â Â
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Office of the City Manager
Re:Â Â Â Â Utility Undergrounding â€“ Background and Issue Paper
Â While the construction of utility poles in and along the Eldorado (between the Dallas North Tollway and FM423) corridor have prompted a great deal of discussion and debate, it is important to note that this issue has been one with which cities have struggled for some time. As you will see below, Frisco, as well as other cities, have been attempting to regulate this issue for some time. However, we all continue to be hampered by the decisions of the Public Utility Commission and the courts of the state of Texas. This paper attempts to provide some historical perspective on this overall issue and also highlight for you some specifics on related cost projections.
NOTE: Please note that the only cost numbers contained in this report that are confirmed at this point is the cost of burying the Coserv lines along Eldorado. Other numbers are calculated based on the data at hand at the time of completing this report. However, such additional cost projections are fairly conservative based on prevailing market data.
Historical Perspective of the Undergrounding Issue:
The section attempts to provide you with a high level historical perspective of some of the events that have impacted decisions related to the undergrounding of utilities.
The City of Frisco has been attempting to regulate the undergrounding of utilities for a number of years. There have been provisions contained in the Subdivision Regulations for a number of years regarding this matter, some of which have had to be removed due to court cases related to this issue. The City also passed an Underground Utility ordinance a couple of years ago to deal with utility lines along thoroughfares. However, if the city says the developer must bury the lines along thoroughfares and the cost of that burial has to be paid by the developer then the developer will argue they are carrying a disproportionate amount of the cost and/or that the city does not have a valid governmental interest in having the lines buried.Â  And if the city says the utility must bury the lines along thoroughfares and the cost of burial has to be paid by the utility then the utility will argue that the cost of burial would have to be passed along to the rate payer thus violating their rate tariff set by the PUC (Oncor) or simply violates their Board adopted rate structure (Coserv). In summary, these recent court cases prevent the city from being able to require the burial of lines unless the city (the tax payer) pays the costs. A quick cost analysis of the impact the Eldorado issue, as well as the overall issue, could have is provided in the next section.
Â Cost Analysis:
This section provides a high level review of the estimated cost to address the undergrounding issue. It examines the cost from a neutral perspective of who may have to pay these costs but then also provides an analysis of how that cost, if transferred to the City might impact the tax rate.
Cost Estimate Example â€“Â
Edlorado Parkway:
Approximately $5,500,000 to bury Coserv lines on both sides of Eldorado Parkway (estimate provided by Coserv Electric, see Attachment #1)
$5,500,000 Ã· 4.6 miles (approx. 2.3 mi. of right-of-way per side) = ~$1,195,562 per mile
(This calculation is the estimate to bury the Eldorado Coserv line only and does NOT include the cost of a private easement, boring or burial cost of any additional utilities such as cable. Also, this assumes the cost for the entire length of this section of roadway thus any reduction in length drives up the cost per mile estimate.)
Â Potential Additional Costs:
These estimates are based on general market knowledge and could be higher or lower. However, a very conservative approach was taken to completing these estimates.
Item/ServiceÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â AssumptionsÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Estimated Cost
Private EasementÂ Â Â Â  Â Â Â Â 15′ easement @ $10sfÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $1,584,000
Sidewalk\Landscape\
Screening ReplacementÂ Â Â Â 1 mile of replacementÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $700,000Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Cable and\or Telco Burial 15% of CoservÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $825,000
BoringÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $Unknown .
TotalÂ Â  $3,109,000
If these additional costs were realized the project cost would total approximately $8,609,000.
Funding â€“
City – If the City of Frisco were to assume the cost of burying the Edlorado Coserv line only ($5,500,000), there would need to be an adjustment to the tax rate to cover such cost. Below is an approximation of what that adjustment would need to look like:
Â¢.01 on Tax Rate generates = $1,264,672, therefore, it would take a Â¢.043 Tax Rate increase to fund the Eldorado Coserv line only.
Below is provided an approximation of what a tax rate adjustment would look like if the City of Frisco were to assume all of the projected cost above $8,609,000:
Â¢.01 on Tax Rate generates = $1,264,672 therefore, it would take a Â¢.068 Tax Rate increase to fund the Eldorado Coserv line only.
Underground Utility Fees â€“ Why not pay for this from the fees that have already been collected from the Underground Utility Fee Ordinance? First, we only have a total of $368,834.00 in the account meaning there is nowhere near enough to complete the project in question – Eldorado. Second, the majority of the funds we do have are in other “Utility Zones” defined in the Ordinance which means the majority of the funds are not eligible to be spent on the Eldorado project because they were collected in other “Zones.” Third, and most importantly, these funds will more than likely have to be returned to those who paid them due to the enforcement issues with the ordinance outlined in the “Historical Perspective” section above.
Tariff Change â€“ Oncor has the ability to enter into agreements with cities to pay for undergrounding facilities. These agreements, on a project by project basis, spread the cost of the project across all rate payers in the city. However, there are a number of issues with this process that make it a very risky proposition. Not the least of which is the fact that an agreement can be entered into by the city to bury an Oncor line only to have Coserv come right down the same easement with an overhead line. This problem is identified in item #2 below and has already hit the City of Allen. Also, Coserv which is the provider along Eldorado has no such program available.
Problems that will continue after funding determination has been made (these apply to all such easements not just Eldorado) â€“
This section outlines some of the problems that would continue even after a funding determination is made related to the Eldorado Parkway utility matter.
The above cost estimate from Coserv does NOT include burying other utilities currently on the overhead lines such as cable and\or telephone.
No matter the funding source, once a line is buried this action does not prevent another utility provider from coming right down the same easement and putting up overhead lines where the previous lines would just have been buried. This problem exists unless of course the City (the tax payers) pays AGAIN to have the new lines buried. By way of example, if the Coserv lines along Eldorado are buried by the City, then if Coserv wants to upgrade those lines in the future via overhead lines or if another utility provider wants to go in the same location with overhead lines they would have the right to do so unless the City paid to bury them a second time.
If Eldorado lines are buried at tax payer expense then what is the next line to be buried, at what cost and do you continue to raises taxes to bury lines? If it cost $5.5 million to bury only (2.3 miles x 2 =) 4.6 miles of line and the city has roughly 77 miles of thoroughfares and if the cost is similar to the line on Eldorado Parkway as outlined above that would equate to approximately $92,058,274 for one side of each thoroughfare. For both sides that would be approximately $184,116,548. Again, none of these numbers account for the “additional costs”, as outlined above, that may come into play.
Neighboring City’s Experiences:
Allen -
Stated that Allen “recently paid to have Oncor put in underground lines along Stacy Road only to have CoServ put up overhead lines along the same section of roadway.” Stated that there really is “no solution to the problem due to the above [problem] and due to when the line needs to be expanded, the city is faced with the choice again of paying or having the line constructed overhead.”
They went on to say that if we find the “silver bullet” to be sure to let them know.
Plano â€“
“Our subdivision ordinance limits the placement of above ground utilities to major thoroughfares (same as Frisco).Â  SubdivisionsÂ are occasionallyÂ built along a major thoroughfare without power lines, only to have them installed later.”Â  “SometimesÂ homeowners complain, but eventually theyÂ come to understand that the utility company has the right.”
Little Elm â€“
“We are having identical issues.” Co-Serv has discussed a “secondary feed” needed down to the end of the LE peninsula and that the only way to get there is a parallel line along the south side of Eldorado Parkway (existing overhead is on the north side). “CoServ, and for that matter every other electric utility, takes the position that if you want it under ground, the city is expected to pay 100% of the cost.”
Coserv Questions and Response Concerning Eldorado and Undergrounding in General:
Questions â€“
(1) Would CoServ consider adding an additional charge to its customers in Frisco to pay to place its lines along major thoroughfares underground?
(2) If the answer to 1 is yes, what do you need from the city of Frisco to institute such a charge?
(3) If the answer to 1 is yes, what do you believe the monthly cost would be per customer?
Response â€“
“CoServ has been approached by other cities we serve and asked similar questions. Our response thus far has been “no”, because…
* The cost of underground construction is 3 to 5 times the cost of overhead construction and we have experienced recent dramatic increases in the cost of labor and materials. We’re seeing some underground construction costs in excess of $1 million per mile.
* There are tremendous logistical challenges with converting overhead to underground, not the least of which is cable and communications attachments, adequate underground easements, scheduling, etc. All of these can be managed, but not easily.
* At the point we agree with one municipal entity, we should expect to do it with all of them.
CoServ is willing to sit down with you and/or your designated city representatives and try to plan conversion of overhead to underground facilities. Because of road widening, or other road construction issues, we are frequently confronted with this question. We’d prefer to plan these changes without imposing fees/charges to our members. The issue of fees/charges, as you know, is ultimately a question CoServ’s elected board of directors must address. My understanding of their direction for me is to find ways to convert without raising rates.”
Summary:
The bottom line is that the cost of burying utility line is very high and the available solutions are fraught with problems of their own.Â  Additionally, the actions of the PUC and our Texas courts have further exacerbated the problems. On one hand, cities are being told they do not have the authority to regulate this infrastructure forcing it to be underground and on the other hand even if cities fund the undergrounding there is no guarantee that the buried facilities will remain underground thus wasting taxpayers’ dollars.

Scorecard | Analysis | Images Australia stormed into the World Cup semi-finals on Friday as Ricky Ponting and Brett Lee swept Sri Lanka regally aside on Friday.Ponting hammered his 12th one-day century to set the tone during Australia's 319 for five in their opening Super Six match.Strike bowler Lee then laid waste to the Sri Lankan top order, sending Sanath Jayasuriya to hospital in the process as the world champions won by 96 runs.Sri Lanka at least ended the day with two consolations, Aravinda de Silva hitting a defiant 94-ball 92 while Jayasuriya's x-rays revealed bad bruising and a chipped thumb bone rather than the suspected broken forearm. Sri Lanka ended on 223 off 47.4 overs.But Australia's victory, their 13th one-day success in a row and against the 1996 champions, confirmed their all-encompassing dominance in the tournament.They had reached the second round with a maximum 12 points after the first round and now, with 16 points, are guaranteed a place in the last four. At least two teams -- Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe -- cannot match that points total.Earlier Adam Gilchrist had set Australia on their way with an 88-ball 99 before becoming the 13th player in one-day internationals to fall one short of a century.Australia scored at six an over throughout their innings, completely dominating their opponents quicks and spinners.Sri Lanka, however, did not help themselves.Wicketkeeper Kumar Sangakkara somehow missed the wicket trying to stump Ponting on 16, then missed the stumps again with his gloves after catching a throw with Ponting, on 35, short of his ground.Sri Lanka were forced to try seven bowlers by the 25th over.Ponting lofted Muralitharan for six over long on, then reached his hundred in the 43rd over off 96 deliveries.In reply, Jayasuriya was hit after making a single from five balls and the reply soon unravelled.Marvan Atapattu had the audacity to hit two boundaries off Lee in the 10th over but was then caught and bowled low down for 16 to make it 42 for one and Mahela Jayawardene was then caught for a three-ball duck while Hashan Tillakaratne was bowled by Glenn McGrath and Arnold, on one, fell lbw to Lee

Schools awarded technology grants
Chester among 22 schools to earn stimulus funding
CHESTER — Chester Academy is among 22 school districts have been awarded grants of approximately $145,000 each from the federal Enhancing Education Through Technology Program (NCLB Title II-D) as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.
A total of $3.2 million in federal funds has been allocated to New Hampshire schools to develop technology rich learning environments as part of the state's 21st Century Classrooms Initiative.
These classrooms will be well equipped with computer hardware, software, electronic presentation systems, and rich digital and online curricular resources.
Students in these classrooms will be highly engaged in interactive learning and higher level thinking skills, whether learning math,
science, reading, or history. The use of digital cameras, interactive white boards, robust courseware, digital content, computers, and mobile learning tools will provide students with opportunities to collaborate and connect to rich and relevant content. Investment in core components for technology, collaborative planning, enthusiastic and well-informed leadership, intensive professional development, and IT support are some of the key elements necessary to transform these schools into 21st century classrooms.
In addition to Chester, other districts receiving the ARRA funding include: Alton, Bartlett, SAU 6 (including Claremont & Unity), Laconia, Lafayette Regional, Manchester, Milton, Nashua, Oyster River, SAU 53, (including Allenstown, Deerfield, Epsom, Pembroke), Pittsfield, Portsmouth, Profile, Raymond, Somersworth

SPRING GAME: 5 Things to Watch

Glorified scrimmage? You bet. An opportunity for little-used walk-ons to get their 15 seconds of of fame in a relatively-full Memorial Stadium? That, too.
It won't be flashy. It won't be revealing schematically. But that doesn't mean Nebraska's Red/White Spring Game is bereft of stories. Coaches absolutely want to accomplish something in the three hours they're prowling around Tom Osborne Field looking for players to praise and critique.
Five things to watch for as Huskers put on their spring show and prepare for their inaugural Big Ten season:
Trench skirmishes: Defensive coordinator Carl Pelini and defensive line coach John Papuchis haven't sweated too much the absence of end Cameron Meredith and tackle Jared Crick for spring camp. Why? They like the talent and depth behind those two. Along with returning starter Baker Steinkuhler, Thad Randle's made a move to the No. 1s this spring. Eric Martin, by all reports, is wreaking havoc as an undersized defensive end. Chase Rome and Jay Guy have flashed some potential to play next year at tackle. Terrence Moore is working his way back into shape after he suffered an injury in the Holiday Bowl, but he'd start at many Big Ten programs. True freshman Kevin Williams missed a week of spring camp with a foot injury, but he returned Wednesday. Could he get a play or two Saturday?
The offensive line, meanwhile, is in transition. Position coaches Barney Cotton and John Garrison emphasized physicality and effort with a young, unproven bunch whose forebearers were manhandled at the end of 2010. Starting tackle Jeremiah Sirles missed spring, too – but his loss is felt more acutely than Meredith and Crick's absence. Young pups
Tyler Moore (a true freshman) and Jake Cotton (redshirt freshman) made strong moves this spring up the depth chart.
So what happens when factions of these units match up against each other? The defensive line should have the edge. But watch guards Andrew Rodriguez and Brent Qvale closely. They're supposed to be the starters next year. Can they hold their own against guys like Randle, Moore and Steinkuhler? Also: Can the young pups – or Marcel Jones and Yoshi Hardrick – block Martin?
Tempo: Nebraska won't reveal many of its offensive wrinkles – or, as wide receiver Brandon Kinnie called it, “hoo ha” -
that it installed over the last week. No stunner. But there's a good chance you'll see the Huskers' new no-huddle tempo. It's been around long enough in college football not to be considered secret or revolutionary. NU wouldn't want to waste the opportunity, either, to see how its quarterbacks handle play calls and game management in front of a large crowd.
So what to watch? First, see how the offensive line is handling the speed of the game. They have to be in terrific shape for a no-huddle to be truly effective. Second, watch for which quarterback best embodies the “quick, but not in a hurry” manner that you need to run the no-huddle effectively. The worst thing a quarterback can do is waste a down because he rushed his pre-snap setup and reads. Third, look at the passes thrown out of this tempo. While they'll be vanilla in design, fans should still get a decent flavor for how a rhythm-based passing game relies on timing and placement of throws.
Playmakers: Reporters and fans have heard nothing but praise for receivers Jamal Turner, Kenny Bell and Stanley Jean-Baptiste and their playmaking skills. Last year, NU lacked a “something out of nothing” threat at wide receiver, a guy who could turn a two-yard swing pass into a 25-yard gain. Outside of a few big plays to tight end Kyler Reed, Nebraska also lacked a consistent deep threat.
Senior Brandon Kinnie is a solid anchor on the field side, a tough-minded, possession receiver who should be the go-to guy near the goal line. But when defenses roll a two-man “bracket” coverage his way, or force his routes back toward traffic – as Oklahoma did in the Big 12 Championship – somebody on the other side has to make the defense pay. And Niles Paul isn't over there anymore. A big play or two out of the above trio would be a confidence boost heading into the summer.
Carnes vs. Green: With quarterback Taylor Martinez getting limited action in the Spring Game because of lingering ankle and toe injuries – those need to heal up over the summer, as reports out of practice suggested Martinez still wasn't quite “right” - and Kody Spano out too, Saturday boils down to an intriguing battle between junior Cody Green and redshirt freshman Brion Carnes. Last Saturday, Carnes had his best scrimmage yet, while Green has turned some heads in camp with improved passing mechanics. How do they perform with a crowd watching?
Green had a perfunctory-at-best Spring Game last year, as his attempt to snatch the job from Zac Lee passed by the boards. What about this year? As much as coaches want to play down the Spring Game, Green can make a statement with a strong performance.
Carnes has the tools – he just needs the polish. Watch his passing motion for efficiency and enjoy his playmaking abilities outside of the pocket. Odds are he does one thing Saturday that neither Green or Martinez don't do well: Throw on the run.
Hustle and Flow: More than ever in the Bo Pelini era, Nebraska's defense will need its linebackers to do many of things linebackers traditionally do. Fit the interior the run. Man up against a lead blocker or a pulling guard. Take a smart drop on a tight end bolting up the seam and make a play downfield.
Although the Huskers have generally hung their hat on an elite front four and even more dominant secondary, Bo and Carl's defense is actually designed to free up the linebackers – that is, LaVonte David, Sean Fisher and Will Compton – to make most of the plays.
While all three probably won't play together Saturday, watch for their chemistry when two of them are out there. How do they communicate? How do they flow to the ball on running plays? Big Ten teams like Wisconsin, Iowa and Ohio State force defenses to stay really sound in how they fill gaps and cover all bases. When there's a “break” in the fit, power running teams have a field day on it.
Nebraska's defense is considerably ahead of the offense. In playmakers. In grasp of scheme. Probably in confidence, too. But watch for those little things anyway. How do Compton and David

70 Percent of Australia Post’s Parcels from Online Shopping
Australia is experiencing consisten growth in online shopping sales as evidenced by the growth in freight from online shopping. According to Australia Posts comments in an article in the Courier mail volumes are increasing by 5-10% pa.
Extract from the article”
Queensland parcel operations manager Seth Grantley said 70 percent of Australia Post’s parcel business was generated from online shopping.
“And this area is continuing to grow as customers increasingly go online to do their shopping,” he said.
“In the Brisbane area, parcel volumes increased by 5 percent over the past 12 months.”
Mr Grantley said parcels were a major part of Australia Post’s future success, and a key platform of its business transformation strategy.
“Online purchasing in Australia is forecast to grow from around $27 billion last year, to almost $37 billion by 2013,” he said.
Slacks Creek’s Ali Norrie believes online shopping is the best way to save money.
“I have been shopping online since I can remember, probably since I got my first job in 2004,” she said.
“It was the price that attracted me to online shopping, items were always cheaper than in store and now it’s more about getting things I can’t find in store. Especially outfits, I can get something not many people have.”
Miss Norrie said she used eBay for purchasing make-up from America, cheaper than local stores.
“Usually for shoes and clothes I shop around on different (web)sites in America,” she said. “I haven’t had a problem with sizes, sometimes I take a stab in the dark and if it doesn’t fit, I can give it to someone else.” The 24-year-old accounts assistant said if products were cheaper in stores, she would shop in retail outlets.
“If items were available locally and at the same price, I would shop there, but I don’t feel bad about saving money,” she said.”

Retailers Employ cheap Spys
Retailers can now recruit members of the public to spy on their store presentation with an iphone app called field agent. Users of the application can already paying shoppers to provide retailers with in-store intelligence such as competitor pricing or staff performance. Its also a marketing tool as its bringing the field agent into the store to complete a simple task.
Some retailers have already reported success and users say they use its GPS system to find quick jobs in their area when they are out and about.
What is Field Agent?
It’s an app that begins with a Client (who needs information) creating a job requesting specific information via the www.fieldagent.net website. Field Agent then reviews and broadcasts a request to Agents, (iPhone users in the field) who have installed the Field Agent App. Agents use their iPhones to collect and return information and get paid for the service.
Payments can range from $3 to $8, depending on the job’s degree of difficulty.“Now more than ever, companies are looking for ways to efficiently gain field intelligence on products and services,” said Kelly Miller, Co-Founder of Field Agent. “In an economy where unemployment is near record levels, it’s rewarding to be part of an idea that can create income for thousands of people.
Most jobs are in everyday locations where Agents live. Information requested by Clients might include: retail pricing and display information, event images, photos of items for sale and consumer surveys that can be completed anywhere an iPhone can be used.
Field Agent uses the built-in tools of the iPhone to provide accurate and relevant information that is transmitted back to Clients. Agent history, GPS location, time and date stamps and photo confirmations are all ways to ensure data is returned to Clients accurately with verification.
What’s more, Clients and Agents will help us refine the many uses we’ve not even thought of,  said Miller. “We see a lot of potential with this app, where Clients will help us identify new solutions where Field Agents can play a key role in delivering data”.
According to Miller Field Agent is designed to have thousands of Agents ready to gather information and offer feedback on products and services at a moment’s notice. That is a powerful business tool!
”Field Agent is a joint venture between Mill Creek Software and North Star Partnering Group, based in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Agents should visit the Apple App Store
