Potter County Native New Warden At Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary
Potter County Native New Warden At Lewisburg Federal
Warden: Most do jobs with pride
by Marcia Moore
The Daily Item, Sunbury, PA
LEWISBURG — David J. Ebbert, the newly tapped warden at U.S. Penitentiary in Lewisburg, is not a fan of The Shawshank Redemption.
The popular 1994 movie portrays the warden as corrupt and corrections officers as sadistic, stereotypes Ebbert abhors.
In reality, he said, prison administrators and staff accept an "incredible amount of responsibility" and most do their job with pride.
Ebbert, 50, started his new position at the Lewisburg facility on Sept. 18, but has known several staff members or their relatives since he began his career there as a corrections officer in 1988.
The Potter County native steadily rose through the ranks, leaving the Union County prison in 1992 for an assistant employee services manager position at a federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana. Ebbert returned to the Valley in 1995 to take a similar job at Allenwood and by 2002 he was promoted to associate warden at a Minnesota prison. He later served as warden at two other facilities he'd previously worked at in Allenwood and Terre Haute. Read more.....

Father Campbell Expresses Thoughts On Immigration Reform.....
Letter to the Editor......
On November 20, the President of the United States delivered a speech on immigration. He said: "Scripture tells us, we shall not oppress a stranger, for we know the heart of a stranger. We were strangers once, too." As a Catholic Priest, I am glad to see that religion has been welcomed back into public debate in such a public fashion on primetime television, especially since this crucial issue concerns human dignity, the poor, immigrants, and their families.
I am the son of an immigrant. My father and his family came to the United States from Scotland just after WWII and they were not allowed to immigrate directly to the United States because the quota had already been met for that year. As a result they were forced to move to Canada and become Canadian Citizens and subsequently two years later they were allowed to immigrate to Buffalo, New York. During that time my grandfather's life savings, which were held in British sterling, devalued by fifty percent. In other words he lost half of his life savings because while in Canada his finances were in British currency. Had he been living in the United States; had he been allowed to come directly into the United States, he would have converted his finances to U.S. dollars; he would have been able to preserve those monies.
My father and his family had real hardships in the early years. In fact, they weren't able to buy a car and for the first couple of years they traveled on the bus because they didn't have enough money to do the things they needed to do. Again, these are people who did things the right way, people who did things legally, and people who did not circumvent the law because they were just laws that were in place to protect people.
Illegal immigration has to end. It is a violation of just laws and therefore it is an evil that can never be tolerated or supported even if a foreseen good can come about, because the ends do not justify the means. The sad reality is that illegal immigration has only been tolerated in this country to satisfy money hungry Capitalists whose businesses have thrived and Communist Economists whose profitable desires have been placated through the exploitation of the poor and the vulnerable. In short, the only ones who have profited from illegal immigration are the rich and the powerful. Illegal immigration is a social justice issue that has long been talked about and never adequately acted upon by Republicans or Democrats!
We as citizens of a democracy bear the responsibility for allowing this injustice to continue for over three decades in America, and it is an injustice, make no mistake about it. As a people of faith we cannot remain silent or indifferent on this crucial issue. As faithful citizens we must speak forcefully and act decisively. We must challenge all parties and every candidate to put an end to this gross exploitation of the poor.
For too long we have been a nation that tolerates the hypocrisy of a system where workers who pick our fruit and make our beds never have a chance to get right with the law! For too long we have been a nation that accepts the cruelty of ripping children from their parents' arms like Elian Gonzalez who was seized by armed INS agents even after his mother died getting him here from Cuba. Let us not forget the countless undocumented children presently being held in facilities down south or the millions of unborn children who have been torn from their mothers' wombs as a result of Roe vs. Wade! For too long we have been a nation that has not valued families and has not worked to keep them together. This is evident not only in our tolerance of illegal immigration but also in a welfare program which offers government incentives to discourage people from getting married and encourages single motherhood and having multiple children out of wedlock.
The Immigration System is not broken; it has not been enforced by President Reagan or any other president since. They have all been cherry picking which laws to enforce and which laws not to enforce, therefore, as a result, we have countless undocumented immigrants living in America and being exploited. The President's attempts to rectify the situation, even if well intentioned, do not adequately address the problem. We ought to not simply tolerate undocumented immigrants here in the United States like Joaquin Phoenix playing the Emperor Commodus in the movie Gladiator, giving a thumbs up or thumbs down, rather we are to love them and help them by just and lawful measures to obtain the rights and freedoms that our forefathers desired for all people. Telling undocumented immigrants to come out from the shadows, to pay taxes, and to live in a society in which they enjoy no rights or freedoms and none of the privileges afforded to citizens, will only continue to exploit them for economic ends. This is the equivalent of telling a lamb to come out of a cave when a lion is lurking at the entrance.
These immigrants came to America at great risk seeking Lady Liberty only to find a Marxist imposter with a torch burning brightly in the night telling them to work harder and longer with no reward, no security, no personal property, and no dignity. As people of conscience and good will, we ought to urge the members of Congress to work for and to attain full citizenship for those living here in the United States and at the same time to strengthen our borders, to uphold the law in its entirety, and to put an end to the selective enforcement of immigration laws which allow for the exploitation of the poor. Only in this way can we move forward and begin to heal this gaping wound in our nation's identity.

Denton Hill Ski Patrol Holds Training Session
COUDERSPORT, PA (November 17, 2014) The Denton Hill Ski Patrol held their annual CPR Refresher and Chair Evacuation practice at Ski Denton on Saturday, November 15th in preparation for the upcoming ski season.
Ski Denton has recently announced that it will not be opening for the 2014 – 2015 ski season,
however, the Denton Hill Ski Patrol is hopeful that DCNR will be able to put together some options that may allow Ski Denton to open this year. If Ski Denton is able to open this year, the Ski Patrol wants to make sure that it is ready. According to Paul Ross, Patrol Director, "Our members are optimistic about the future of Ski Denton and have completed all their required annual first aid and lift evacuationrefresher training and are ready to support the ski area if and when it opens for the season."
The mission of the Denton Hill Ski Patrol is to provide rescue and First Aid treatment to the skiing public at Ski Denton, and to promote safety and accident prevention in cooperation with the ski area management. The Patrol consists of approximately 35 individuals from the area who have met the training requirements as set forth by the National Ski Patrol.
Each Ski Patrol member completes an initial Outdoor Emergency Care course that is about 180 hours in length. They also complete an extensive course in Ski and Rescue Toboggan handling. After the initial training, the Patrol also holds annual training days that include a CPR Refresher, Chair Evacuation Refresher, Outdoor Emergency Care refresher, and an On-The-Hill Ski and Toboggan Refresher.
The Denton Hill Ski Patrol is an all volunteer organization, and all members patrol an average of 14 to 18 duty shifts each season. For more information about the Denton Hill Ski Patrol, visit our website at: www.dentonskipatrol.org.

Coudersport Area Reader Just Wants Cat Back
We have been missing our cat for a couple of months.
She is a feral cat named "Callie. We raised her with one of her brothers two years ago. We had her spayed and have fed and cared for her all this time. She is loved and missed by our family and friends,(not to mention her brother) who looks for her daily. We gave her regular veterinary care
and she needs regular medical care.
We have searched and searched and were giving up hope, when we started to hear that someone had taken her and was keeping her. We were shocked that some one would do this, especially when children are involved.
We know the person who has her and where they live. I am shocked that people would teach their children that if you want something just take it, no matter who it belongs to.
I am not a person who wants to deny a child a pet,but I have seen ad after ad looking for homes for nice cats and kittens. There really is no reason to steal a cat from someone. We are hoping that the people in question will return "Callie". They know who we are and where we live
also!
I hope that you can post this. We just want our cat returned. Thank you Jim.

Radon In Center Valley Home One Of Highest Ever Recorded In PA
Lehigh County Community Found With Extremely High Radon Levels
DEP Urges Residents to Test for Radon and Attend an Open House
HARRISBURG -- The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is urging residents in the Center Valley area of Lehigh County to have their homes tested for radon. This comes after recent tests by the department and a DEP-certified laboratory revealed that several homes in that area have record high levels.
Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that occurs naturally through the breakdown of uranium in soil and rocks. It can enter a home through cracks in the foundation or other openings. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in Pennsylvania and causes about 20,000 lung-cancer deaths in the U.S. every year.
Several homes in the Center Valley area were found to have radon levels of over 1,000 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). One specific home tested at 2,750 pCi/L and is one of the highest radon values ever recorded in the state. These levels are hundreds of times more than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) action level of 4 pCi/L; a level where a home should be remediated to lower the radon concentration.
"This community serves as an important reminder to all Pennsylvania residents to test their homes for radon," Acting DEP Secretary Dana Aunkst said. "Protect yourself and your family from this invisible, cancer-causing, radioactive gas."
Area residents are invited to an open house with DEP's radon professionals to learn more about this threat and how to mitigate it. The open house will be held from 4 to 8 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 4 at the Upper Saucon Township Municipal Building, 5500 Camp Meeting Rd., Center Valley. Residents will receive lists of area companies certified by DEP to perform radon testing, mitigation and laboratory analysis.
DEP has sent letters to more than 500 Center Valley area residents in the local area with very high radon levels urging them to test their homes. Pennsylvania law prohibits DEP from publicly identifying any private residences radon testing results. The department has, however reached out to the local school district to ensure that radon testing has occurred in the schools.
Testing for radon is the only way to know if a home, school, workplace or other structure has elevated levels of radon. The best time to test is during the cold-weather months when windows and doors are closed and the radon levels are often at their peak. Most test kits can be purchased at hardware or home improvement stores at an average cost of $15 to $25 per test.
While radon problems may be more common in certain regions of the state, the potential exists for any home in Pennsylvania to have high radon levels. Radon has been detected in all 67 counties, making Pennsylvania particularly prone to elevated radon levels. About 40 percent of homes in the state having radon levels above EPA's action level.
For this reason DEP certifies all radon testers, mitigators and laboratories doing business in the state. This ensures all radon tests performed provide quality results, and those who remediate radon problems do quality work.
For more information about radon, including information on interpreting test results and finding a Pennsylvania-certified radon contractor, visit www.dep.state.pa.us, keyword: Radon, or call 800-23-RADON.

Rural Regional Community College Is Now In The Works For 9 NW PA Counties
Senators Announce Formation of Pennsylvania's First Rural Regional Community College
(HARRISBURG) – The Pennsylvania Department of Education has taken steps to establish Pennsylvania's first Rural Regional Community College, announced Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati (R-25), Senator Bob Robbins (R-50) and Senator Scott Hutchinson (R-21).
According to the legislators, the newly created community college is being established with the goal of offering two-year associate degrees, as well as training and certificate programs to underserved areas of the Commonwealth. Curriculum of the college will be determined by the Board of Trustees, based upon the future workforce needs of the designated region of Cameron, Crawford, Elk, Erie, Forest, McKean, Potter, Venango and Warren counties.
"I am very excited that groundwork for launching the Rural Regional Community College is now in place," Senator Scarnati stated. "This will be the first community college to offer greatly needed higher educational opportunities to northwestern Pennsylvania. Thanks to input by education, business and community leaders, we have been able to establish a solid foundation for helping students have access to quality, affordable education near their hometowns."
"This will certainly expand the educational options for students in our region," Senator Robbins said. "Education is the key to success, and a two-year college program is an excellent option for young people who are looking at job opportunities in many career fields. The truth is it's also a cost-effective way for students to complete their basic studies at a smaller college before finishing their degree at a larger university."
"I'm thrilled with the rapid progress on the Rural Regional Community College and I'm grateful for Senator Scarnati's leadership in making this concept a reality," Senator Hutchinson said. "The positive effects this college will have on our region cannot be understated – there is an immediate need for quality career and technology education in many rural areas of the Commonwealth. The Rural Regional Community College will help residents of our area get the training and education they need to continue working and living right here in our community."
Senator Scarnati explained that earlier this year, language from his Senate Bill 1000 to establish the rural regional community college initiative was included in the Fiscal Code (Act 126 of 2014). Senate Bill 1000 was a bi-partisan initiative, based largely on recommendations by a Legislative Budget and Finance Committee (LBFC) study completed in December 2011.
On August 1st, the Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) appointed the Educational Consortium of Upper Allegheny (ECUA) as the non-profit entity to assist with designating the community college region to be served, as well as advising PDE on the appointment of members of the Board of Trustees. Dr. Dick McDowell, Chairman of the ECUA Board of Trustees stressed the importance of the new community college.
"Providing people with access, affordability and articulation that a community college can offer will be a tremendous asset to rural Pennsylvania," Dr. McDowell said. "We are pleased to work with the Pennsylvania Department of Education to provide advice to help develop a rural higher education system that offers greater accessibility for students at affordable rates."
Earlier this month, the following 15 individuals were named to serve on the Board of Trustees by PDE Secretary Carolyn Dumaresq.
Ms. Mary Bula, Collective Impact at United Way of Erie County
Ms. Nancy Decker, Laurel Technical Institute
Mrs. Amanda Hetrick, Forest Area School District
Mr. Robert Kaemmerer, United Refining Company
Mr. Hank LeMeur, Superior Tire and Rubber Company
Mrs. Kate Lomax-Brock, Elk Cameron Community Education Council
Mr. Greg Mahon, Office of the Senate President Pro Tempore
Dr. Richard McDowell, President Emeritus University of Pittsburgh at Bradford
Mr. Douglas Morley, Potter County Commissioner
Mr. Ed Pitchford, Cole Memorial Hospital
Mr. Louis Radkowski, City of Saint Marys
Mrs. Susan Snelick, North Central Workforce Investment Board
Dr. Karen Whitney, Clarion University
Mr. Dennis Wilke, Precision Manufacturing Institute
The Honorable Mary Jo White, Former State Senator
Term length of the Board members will be determined at the first Board of Trustees meeting scheduled for December 2, 2014. The meeting will be open to members of the public and the location of the meeting will be determined by PDE in the coming days.
The Senators also recognized the contributions of members of the House of Representatives who worked on the measure, especially Representative Martin Causer who introduced a companion bill to SB 1000, which also sought to establish a rural community college program.
"Thanks to the efforts and input of numerous educational, business, community and government leaders, we are now helping to provide students with more tools they can use to access good, family-sustaining jobs. We look forward to witnessing the positive impacts of the college in the years to come."

Western climate plan would cost jobs, study says
A new study finds that a carbon cap-and-trade plan in the western US could slow investment, cost the region hundreds of thousands of jobs, and cut personal income for millions of workers.
By OGJ editors
HOUSTON, Mar 24 -- A new study finds that a carbon cap-and-trade plan in the western US could slow investment, cost the region hundreds of thousands of jobs, and cut personal income for millions of workers.
The analysis, conducted by economists at the Beacon Hill Institute (BHI) of Suffolk University in Boston, also found that the proposed Western Climate Initiative (WCI) would require Western states to dramatically increase their number of government employees.
The BHI study reconfirms many of the findings of a study released last month by the Western Business Roundtable (WBR). That study concluded that the WCI plan could seriously damage the West's economy if implemented in its present form.
The carbon cap-and-trade scheme is being pushed by a handful of western governors, the Western Governors' Association, and some environmental groups, according to WBR.
In its September 2008 report, WCI released its research on cap-and-trade policy, which is intended to reduce by 2020 the amount of greenhouse gas emissions to 15% below 2005 emission levels.
But BHI finds that due to an inadequate cost and benefit review, the WCI's results show tens of billions of dollars of savings annually.
Using the WCI projections of increases in fuel costs, the BHI study authors concluded that the policies will decrease employment, investment, personal income, and disposable income.
None of the seven WCI states—California, Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, Utah, and Montana—would escape economic harm should cap-and-trade be imposed, the new study found. Four Canadian provinces—British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec—also signed the Western Regional Climate Action Initiative Agreement.
The BHI study found that under a scenario of a broad policy with no offsets, in which 100% of greenhouse gas emission permits would be auctioned off to emitters, the seven western states would lose up to 251,674 private sector jobs, while the permit revenue would allow the states to hire as many as 142,241 state employees.
The plan also would put investment by firms at serious risk by slowing investment in the region by as much as $1.448 billion, and the plan would diminish total personal income by $6.35 billion to $18.31 billion/year.
Under a scenario where states auction the minimum of 25% of the permits issued, the West would suffer even greater losses, according to the study.
"If state governors and provincial premiers seek to truly meet the goals underscored in the WCI proposals, they should require a complete and thorough cost-benefit analysis," BHI said. "This consortium of state and provincial governments should understand that, whatever the benefits of the proposals, they will place the state and regional economies at a competitive disadvantage to other regions through higher prices for energy and transportation, and [will] exert measurable, negative effects on their economies."

Q: How does the power efficiency of an appliance compare using 12V DC or 240V AC with an inverter? With an off-grid system, if an appliance supports powering via both 12V DC and 240V AC, is there any difference with the power efficiency of either method excluding the draw of an inverter used to power via 240V AC?
And how does the power efficiency compare when the draw of an inverter is taken into account?

A: First question regarding the power consumption of some arbitrary device that accepts 12VDC input or 240VAC input cannot be known without making measurements of the current draw from the source and making the necessary calculations. There is no way to know how a black box device converts either input to its required operating point and how the efficiency of the methods will vary.
The use of an external inverter to convert 12VDC to 240VAC will not be a 100% efficient process. Once again it would not be possible to really know the inverter efficiency without measurements and calculations.
Once you knew the efficiency of the inverter you could factor that into the differences of power usage by the device that you have measured. But it can be said that if the device itself consumes less total power when operating at 240VAC versus when operating at 12VDC then there may be the possibility that using the external inverter could be more efficient overall.

A: Many small Appliances run their internals of a low DC voltage .Sometimes this voltage is 12.The appliance has an internal Power supply ,usually switchmode these days .This means that there are inverter losses and powersupply losses to factor in .Small flyback SMPS can be only 70% efficient .Large invertors often have poor partload efficiency and reduced efficiency when operating into poor power factors .It is possible that your overall losses will exceed 50% .

The Wenatchi are dispersed in several locations, so the above marker does not indicate their exact location.
The Columbia-Wenatchi people, also known as the P'squosa, are a Native American people who originally lived in the region near the confluence of the Columbia and Wenatchee Rivers in eastern Washington.
Now they reside on the Colville Indian Reservation and a small number living on the Yakama Nation Reservation.
Their language, known as Columbia-Moses, is an interior Salish language. Only a few elders still speak their native tongue.
Historically, they were a semi-nomadic people who follow seasons. They ate salmon, camas root, berries, and deer. Roots were gathered then ceremonially distributed and eaten by all in reverence to the Creator. A similar ceremony inaugurated the salmon fishing season and was known as Quiyachetum. Even though they were semi-nomadic, land provided identity for them. Today they are seeking to reclaim their original homeland near Leavenworth, Washington.
They believed that during adolescence one could acquire a supernatural power for guidance and protection throughout life. As a result, adolescents went through a ritual passage or a spirit quest that lasted several days or more at a remote location.
They believed in a Creator that had fashioned everything to have usefulness. They also firmly believed that in ancient times before the appearance of man, the Coyote and other animal people actually existed. This is evidenced in such formations as the Owl Rocks and Saddle Rocks near present Wenatchee and, as the elders point out, the Coyote's race track.
The Colville Indian Reservation lacks adequate, affordable housing, home water systems and even electricity. It also lacks safe, usable roadways as well as facilities such as modern health clinics and youth shelters. Individuals and families sometimes suffer from the effects of extensive drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence and crime.
Pray that Christians will minister to not only the spiritual needs but also the physical needs of the Wenatchi people.
Pray that God will breakdown strongholds that bind the Wenatchi people.

Q: quad in a loop several times I have a function as below
    function m=narkisos(a,b,c,x,y,z,t,rho)
    m=a.*x+b.*y-z+c*exp(t-rho)
    end

Then, in script I use:
    clear all;
    a=1;b=2;c=3;
    m=zeros(3,4,5,6);
    t=[1 2 3]'; z=[2 3 4 5]';
    for i=1:length(t)
    for j=1:length(z)
    for s=1:5
    for r=1:6
    f=@(rho)narkisos(a,b,c,s,r,z(j),t(i),rho);
             m(i,j,s,r)=quad(f,0,t(i));
    end
    end
    end
    end

After this part I need to use my narkisos again in another loops(more than 4) but for fixed indexes,example for s=2,r=3. Should I define another function in each loop or is there any way to call it? I don't like to write in each loop narkisos again, because that
reduce the speed of code.
for i=1:length(t)
    for j=1:length(z)

    **f=@(rho)narkisos(a,b,c,2,3,z(j),t(i),rho);**
             m(i,j,2,3)=quad(f,0,t(i));

    end
    end

Many thanks for any help,

A: If I understand your question you would like to memoize  calls to your function narkisos. It's not entirely straightforward, but I see that Loren on the Art of Matlab has covered the topic.  If you are not already familiar with Loren's blog this is a good place to start, I've learned a lot from her over the years I've been using Matlab.


Do you work at a desk? Ever considered a standing desk?
With recent reports about the hazards of prolonged sitting, standing desks are increasing in popularity. Standing desks have shown to be particularly beneficial for people with lower back, hip or pelvis pain and even improve return to work outcomes. However many people report more discomfort and fatigue in their legs with a standing desk and certain health conditions (such as varicose veins) are better suited to sitting.
To help you navigate the standing desk world, we have put together our top tips below.
Just as you wouldn't go from doing no running training, to suddenly doing a marathon, it is important to gradually increase your body's tolerance for standing. If you are not used to standing all day, suddenly changing from 8 hours of sitting a day to 8 hours of standing can cause a variety of issues. It is recommended to start with just 5-10 minutes of standing at a time and build up to 20-30 minute blocks. When beginning, total standing time in the day should aim to be no more than 2 hours. Compression stocking, inner soles and supportive shoes have been shown to help alleviate feelings of leg fatigue.
Your best position is your next position!
Ultimately, the best option for you is to regularly change position. This is why if you are going to invest in a standing desk, it is important to get one that can easily change from sitting to standing and back again. Likewise, it is important to 'move around' in your standing position – this includes having a foot rest to alternate legs with for different posture options.
If a standing desk does not seem right for you (or you're just not ready to take the plunge yet), then looking for ways to move more during the day is a really good starting point. This includes having 'walk and talk' meetings, a central printing station that you have to get up and walk to or taking the stairs (instead of the elevator) as much as possible. All are great ways to move more and keep your body happier!
Every body is different and the demands of every job are different too. That is why seeing your physiotherapist for a thorough assessment of your nerves, muscles, joints, posture and physical work demands is the best way to get personalised, specific treatment and advice for you. You do not need to have any symptoms to have as assessment. It's like getting your car serviced to prevent a breakdown! If there is any strain building up in your body, we can help teach you how to reduce the strain and prevent it becoming a more significant problem.

The technology of at this time is little doubt advancing quickly. There are such a lot of new gadgets and gizmos revealed daily it can be laborious to keep up with them all. Replications of live VMs save bandwidth by pushing incremental updates, and they are often automated by means of an onboard scheduler. All considered, the AWS Server Migration Service not only simplifies server migration however serves as a reliable enterprise continuity and catastrophe recovery model as well. If you have already got an AM3 motherboard and wish to improve to one thing that is compatible with AMD's new Zambezi processors, then it's vital to know whether your motherboard is already suitable with AMD's Bulldozer structure Zambezi processors, or if the one you are purchasing will be.

The state of many newspapers in the meanwhile is unhappy. I hate to think about them dying, but I perceive what you might be saying about rescuing them with something that may not be wanted or may not be extensively accepted by the public. It will likely be fascinating to see how shoppers react to the presence of augmented know-how in newspapers because the technology improves.

This is going to sound a bit extreme but I at the moment have sixty six Gmail accounts – 1 account for every recreation and each software program program that I've paid for and registered. Plus my private email account that gets essentially the most utilization. I've written my own program that's just like the Firefox extension mentioned above, aside from it is a stand-alone utility, that logs in to each of the accounts and notifies me if there is a new e-mail. The small program makes the number of Gmail accounts is definitely manageable.

that's a whole lotta bacon.
since i was using my stovetop and had a massive amount of eggs to make, i tossed some shredded chedder and green onions on top and baked them for 15 minutes.
after simmering the seasoned corned beef in water for almost 3 hours (50 minutes per pound), i added the red potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. i love how the veggies soak up all of the delicious flavor of the beef!
of course, the men wait patiently while the food is prepared.

2014 Chevrolet Caprice relaunched in Saudi Arabia with interior update
by Mashfique Hussain Chowdhury. October 27, 2013.
We knew the new front-wheel-drive 2014 Chevrolet Impala wouldn't cut it in the Saudi market, where the love of big rear-wheel-drive sedans runs strong, even after the demise of the Ford Crown Victoria. So it came as no surprise when a reader dropped us a note saying the long-running Caprice is back in Saudi Arabian showrooms as a 2014 model, with a few changes.
General Motors does not seem to be promoting the 2014 Chevrolet Caprice at all though, and we have no contact with them, so we'll have to go by these Australian photos of the Holden Caprice. The exterior seems to be pretty much unaltered, but the interior looks completely new, with a new reshaped faux-leather dashboard, new multimedia tech bummed off the Malibu, and redone door panels.
There's no word on which engines are offered in Saudi Arabia, or any other GCC market, but they'll likely stick with the carryover 6.0-litre V8 with 6-speed automatic as standard. In Australia, they also offer an LPG-fuelled 3.6-litre V6 model, while all prices there have been drastically cut as well, by as much as 25%.
Incidentally, another reader let us know that the 2014 Caprice is also now available in UAE showrooms, even in SS and Royale guises.
Keep track of future updates in the Chevrolet Caprice buyer guide.

cannot live with caprice…..


I've been a dual Canadian/U.S. citizen since 1994. To be honest, a few particulars about the Westminster-type of parliamentary democracy escaped my attention until I started voting here. For example, one of the biggest surprises was that you don't cast a ballot for Prime Minister. Instead, you simply vote for a candidate as your Member of Parliament (MP) based on the party they represent. A candidate's party is much more important than their personality because the party with the most people elected as MPs forms the government, and the official leader of that party becomes Prime Minister.
The past three federal elections have yielded a "minority" government, which means the party that won the most seats didn't get more than 50% of all the seats. Being a minority government has many ramifications, the most serious of which relates to the fact that on most votes (all votes on important matters), MPs affiliated with a party must vote along party lines. (Most MPs have party affiliations -- in the last session only two were independent.) If MPs don't vote the same as their party, they risk being expelled from the party.
Because of the requirement to vote the party line, when a party has a majority, all its proposals pass, which means getting things done is easy. With a minority government, however, getting legislation passed is tricky because you need the cooperation of other parties. As well, there's the ever-present threat that the opposition will join forces to bring down the government with a vote of no confidence. That's exactly what happened on March 25th. As a result, Parliament was dissolved and an election was called for May 2nd.
Naturally, the election is front-page news and it's a topic of conversation -- at least in my social circle. (Of course, that could be because I often raise it.) It's been interesting to hear my friends' reactions when I ask about the election. For the most part, folks I've talked with complain that we're having an election and have whined about the fact that this is the fourth election in just under seven years (the 5th in just under 11 years) and they think it's a waste of money.
I find this complaint unbelievable, frankly. Of course there's an out-of-pocket cost to holding an election, and times are tough economically, but in the scheme of things, the cost is pretty insignificant. Most estimates I've seen put the price tag at Can $300-$350 million -- that's all in. Maybe not a drop in the bucket (except by comparison to the amount spent on U.S. elections) but the way I see it: What price democracy?
The complaint about being tired of going to the polls "so often" is another non-starter for me. The cornerstone of democracy is the privilege of voting -- the idea that your opinion counts. It's not an exaggeration to say the ability to vote is why I felt it important to become a citizen in my adopted land. I suspect most other immigrants who have taken up citizenship would say the same thing. So, I'm always thrilled at the opportunity to vote, especially when I think about the millions in the world who are not so privileged.
The last complaint some have voiced is that we may end up with a minority government again and then "nothing will get done" and -- heaven forbid -- we'll be back at the polls sooner rather than later. Though naturally I'd prefer to see the party I favour win a solid majority, having a minority government doesn't bother me a bit. The way I see it, ending up with a minority government is just a manifestation of some sort of collective need to run in place for a while, instead of going full-steam ahead. I know there have been times in my own life when stalling -- not making a cut and dried decision -- has been the best course of action, so why should the future of a country be any different?
Clearly, I don't understand all the complaining about our going to the polls on Monday. All I can say is it's a shame more people don't feel the way I do about voting: empowered.

Crowdfunding Now Viable Financing Option for Cannabis Companies
New federal rules allowing small businesses to tap ordinary folks will give upstart marijuana companies a sorely needed alternative to traditional sources of financing such as angel investors and venture capitalists.
The Securities and Exchange Commission's new rules tied to crowdfunding could create a tidal wave of fresh financing in the cannabis industry.
The rules, which took effect Monday, permit individuals to put $2,000 or more per year – the allowable amount is based on annual income and net worth – into a small company in exchange for a stake in the business.
Companies can now raise up to $1 million annually this way.
Previously, only deep-pocketed "accredited" investors with an income of at least $200,000 per year, or a net worth of at least $1 million, could purchase an equity stake in the lion's share of private companies.
While the new rules will open up crowdfunding to more companies and more individuals, entrepreneurs must do their homework to use this financing method successfully.
"It's a giant opportunity with limitations," said Leslie Bocskor, president of Electrum Partners, a cannabis-focused investment advisory firm in Las Vegas.
Jeanne Sullivan – founder of Sullivan Adventures, a New York investment advisory firm – said that crowdfunding is "not a game for the uninitiated," adding that companies interested in this financing method need to do some due diligence.
"You have to get professional help if you don't have experience with something like this," Sullivan said. "You have to do it right. You can't just log on and say I'm raising money."
Crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo have existed for years, but in general companies and entrepreneurs have only been able to offer individuals a reward (such as one of their products), not equity, for their monetary contributions. Other crowdfunding sites like AngelList are only open to accredited investors.
Some cannabis-related companies successfully utilized crowdfunding before the recent rule change, though they are few and far between.
Eaze Solutions, a San Francisco-based provider of technology that optimizes medical marijuana delivery, raised part of a $1.5 million infusion to fund its expansion via the crowdfunding site AngelList in 2014. And Loto Labs, in Redwood City, California, raised more $218,444 via Indiegogo to fund production of its Evoke vaporizer.
The rules will make it easier for companies to raise money this way, opening up what is – in effect – venture capital financing to ordinary investors.
They also offer a regulatory framework for companies to raise money via crowdfunding, but without loads of red tape. For instance, companies seeking funds for the first time – or those that are looking for less than $500,000 – must provide financial statements, but they can be unaudited.
"Angels are very risk averse to these early-stage companies," Sullivan of Sullivan Adventures said. "This could give some of these early-stage companies a chance to get to some of that first funding so they have a chance to build their team, to build out."
Bocskor of Electrum Partners noted that, in general, businesses previously had to rely on "rich relatives or angel or venture networks." Now they have an alternative.
"In the cannabis industry, that is an incredibly powerful tool at this particular time," he said.
He added that the industry's recent explosive growth will probably accelerate even more following this November's elections, when at least a few more states are expected to adopt legalization ballot measures.
"I believe some portion of the enormous amount of money needed to fund this expansion will come from equity crowdfunding," Bocskor said.
Crowdfunding Candidates
Not every cannabis company should rush to a crowdfunding platform.
Sullivan points to cannabis cultivators and retailers as examples of businesses that may want to think twice before crowdfunding.
"Grows are the types of businesses that would have better luck seeking money from angel investors who have domain experience," Sullivan said. "Find people that want what you have. And in a grow or in the more technical aspects, find people that specialize in the area."
Investors also are seldom drawn to retailers. Besides, retailers are better off funding expansions with their own revenue, Sullivan said.
What companies does she think would make good crowdfunding candidates? Think infused products manufacturers, content companies, and ancillary firms.
"A lot of edibles could make an exciting story. Those are perfect," Sullivan said.
Infused products are alluring to the average person, and it's easy to imagine how they can be packaged, distributed and scaled.
However, some crowdfunding platforms have rejected cannabis companies, including well-known sites like Kickstart and Indiegogo.
Luckily for cannabis entrepreneurs, a small number of cannabis-centric crowdfunding platforms have emerged or are trying to emerge, including Cannafundr, Potfundr, WeCanna, and CannaDabbaDo.
Do it Right
If a company does decide to try crowdfunding, it should do so carefully.
Cannnabis companies should hire branding and marketing experts to help them craft their message and create a persuasive pitch, one complete with videos or other visual content.
"You have to tell a story about how you're going to execute. But there's a little more entertainment value than what you would have if you were pitching an angel investor," Sullivan said.
"Crowdfunding is a little more media-centric," she added. "It's about creating an interesting video that gets the listener interested in what they're building, and those kinds of visual connections are really important in crowdfunding."
The presentation should cover several key points, experts said. These include:
Highlighting the team's strength
Creating sizzle around the product
Showing how the company plans to scale the business and distribute the product
And demonstrating that the team understands the company's financial ins and out
"The team. The product. Can this play into a large marketplace? What are the financial opportunities around the business as it scales? And highlighting one's competency. That's what's critical," Sullivan said.
It's also a good idea to review previously successful campaigns.
Moreover, it important to be aware of potential pitfalls, including added scrutiny.
"Cannabis and crowdfunding are two industries that already get a lot of scrutiny by themselves. Put them together, and there's going to be even more scrutiny," Tom Quigley, CEO of Gluu, an online B2B marketplace based in Tampa, Florida, said.

China could tailor its financial regulations to help boost poorer regions, as part of efforts to raise 70 million people out of poverty, a senior central bank official said to Reuters. The government could use differing reserve requirement ratios, re-lending, re-discount and differing regulations, to encourage financial institutions to increase support for poor areas, Pan Gongsheng, vice governor of the People's Bank of China, said. Pan's remarks, which were made Friday at a poverty reduction forum jointly held by the central bank and the State Council, were carried in a statement published by the central bank on Sunday. Internet finance, industry investment funds, venture capital and private equity should also be directed toward poverty elimination efforts, Pan said. China's President Xi Jinping told the forum that the government wants to lift the country's 70 million people out of poverty by 2020, according to state television. That averages a rate of a million people a month. "To bridge the development gap between urban and rural areas is a difficult challenge for us. To build a moderately prosperous society in an all-around way is the goal of all Chinese people. None of them can be left behind," Xi said. Those earning less than 2,300 yuan ($362) annually fall below the poverty line in China, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
