Mythic would like to remind everyone that they had an MMO before Warhammer Online, and if you'd like to come back and try it again you'll get the two later expansions free of charge.
We don't hear much about Dark Age of Camelot these days, and really haven't heard all that much since the Labyrinth of the Minotaur expansion pack introduced a new race and the game's largest dungeon. Now Mythic aims to remind the community that DAoC still functions, offering up Labyrinth and the previous expansion, Darkness Rising, free of charge to all players who haven't secured them yet. Along with the free expansions comes a one-day reactivation of old accounts, allowing anyone who has been gone for more than 90 days to come back and play for free.
"The Dark Age of Camelot community has thrived for nearly a decade and the game has helped transform the MMO landscape with the introduction of groundbreaking Realm vs. Realm gameplay," said Jeff Hickman, Executive Producer of Mythic Entertainment. "We could not be more excited to offer all this entertainment to all current players and to those interested in returning to the game, as well as to those looking to experience the game for the first time."
Yes, along with the return promotion, new players can sign up for a 14-day trial to see what they've been missing all these years.
It's been years since I've played Dark Age, but I have some really fond memories. Mainly cyber, but I swear I attacked a monster once or twice.

Sending out of the 70
We Christians have a much needed gift from God to carry out into the world today.
And that gift is peace—not just a lack of conflict, or a "let's be nice to each other while we hate our differences" sort of peace, but God's peace.
God's peace is the peace that Jesus brings to the fearful disciples who are cowering in a locked room after his crucifixion. Most of us know the story. Jesus shows up and stands among them and the first words out of his mouth are "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." And then he shows them his hands and his side, the places where his body still bears the evidence of his crucifixion.
Jesus sends those disciples out to carry the peace of the Lord into the world.
So here we are, the disciples, and we're getting sent out too, like those first disciples were sent, newly joyful and full of the Spirit.
And–We are getting sent out like the seventy disciples in today's reading.
Jesus asks all of us to go, because the need for peace is great, and the workers are few.
It's our turn to carry God's peace out into the world.
The peace that passes understanding, and that the world needs, is the peace that God gives us when we depend on God to get through the hard times in our lives. This is the same the peace that Jesus found in his own struggles as he trusted God's will and suffered and died on the cross.
These struggles and hard times in our lives mark us, just as Jesus bears with him through eternity the marks of the nails in his hands.
But when we accept the hard things in life and hand our struggles over to God, God's peace will take root in our lives, growing in the place of all the resentment, anger, bitterness, distress, or even fear that may have taken over like poison ivy in our hearts.
As the soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross, Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing." Jesus prayed for those men and offered them up to God.
When we pray for our enemies and offer them up to God, and when we do the same for the people we love who drive us the craziest in our lives, God receives our prayers and gives us peace in return.
So I am encouraging us to join together in this sort of prayer.
The next time you feel despair taking away your peace, or anger taking away your peace, I encourage you to pray for the person or the situation that is causing you distress, knowing that God will hear your prayer and offer you God's peace in return for your distress.
If we keep at prayer, God's peace in us will add up and grow strong. We will find that we have more than enough of God's peace to carry out into the world.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a young German pastor and theologian, was jailed by the Nazis in 1943. Bonhoeffer had lived for years with the discipline of studying scripture and praying at the beginning and ending of each day. He continued this discipline when he was arrested and put in prison. Because of the peace of God he had received in prayer over the years, he had more than enough of God's peace to share with both the prisoners and the guards around him throughout his imprisonment.
In his masterful biography on Bonhoeffer, Eric Metaxas quotes the camp doctor at Flossenburg who, right before Bonhoeffer was hanged, saw "Pastor Bonhoeffer, before taking off his prison garb, kneeling on the floor of his cell praying fervently to his God. I was deeply moved by the way this man prayed, so devout and so certain that God heard his prayer. At the place of execution, he again said a short prayer and then climbed the steps to the gallows, brave and composed. His death ensued after a few seconds. In the almost fifty years I worked as a doctor, I have hardly ever seen a man die so entirely submissive to the will of God."
The doctor witnessed the death of a man at peace with himself, and his ending, because he had for years been praying to God, handing the hard things in his life to God, and receiving God's peace in return.
I would encourage you, especially if you are lacking peace in your life, to pray and to offer up to God those things and those people who have taken your God given peace away—and to be consistent about praying those prayers, allowing God's peace to return to you.
Near the end of his letter to the Galatians, Paul makes this statement.
"May I never boast of anything except the cross of Christ our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world…(the old rules of this world are nothing) …a new creation is everything. As for those who follow this rule—peace be upon them, and mercy."
This is Paul's way of saying what Jesus showed to the disciples when he showed them the marks of his crucifixion in his hands and side—that it is through Jesus, through both his death and resurrection, that we receive God's peace.
This is the peace through which God loves us and forgives us and makes us worthy to be the sons and daughters of God.
Jesus makes us worthy by submitting to God's will and dying as he did so that a new creation gets born on this earth when God raises Jesus from the dead.
We disciples, no matter how worn out, burned out, fearful, dispirited or conflicted, have been made a part of this new creation through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord.
So disciples, join me in praying to Jesus. Talk with him daily. Tell him about all the things that take away your peace.
Remember that Jesus suffered in this life too, and yet, beyond that suffering was the new life of the resurrection.
We are already part of that new creation!
Never forget that even in the hard parts of life that we must go through, we already are God's new creation, through Jesus, and the kingdom of God has already drawn near.
God's peace is at hand, and God wants that peace to be in us and to flow through us.
And the world is waiting.

Supernatural News the Week of No Show :(
So Smallville will get 2 hours for their finale this week, so SPN gets theirs next week.
This week:
Buddy TV had an exclusive interview with Mark Sheppard.
Supernatural had better ratings than Smallville, so yay!
Sam and Dean were voted second favorite lead male characters by Starpulse, second only to Alex O from Hawaii 5-0, who is hot but not so interesting, actually.
SuperWiki has a Cafe Press store, with "Posse Magnet" shirts, and "Beware of the Jefferson Starships."
That's all I know. You?

Okay, I know it is Tuesday, but that was supposed to be the lead headline yesterday on the website. It was a marathon session to get as much updated as possible for the fantasy baseball Cheatsheet Compiler & Draft Buddy since our prior update, last week.
I noticed the Zeile Consensus Projections from FantasyPros got updated over the weekend, plus our depth charts were getting a bit stale. So I started first thing Monday morning updating those projections, all of our depth charts (except the Chicago Cubs – nothing personal, there was no new roster info on them from our stats provider), and the Average Draft Position data from each of our sources, Mock Draft Central, FantasyPros and National Fantasy Baseball Championship.
That sounds like a pretty good update, right? I thought so, and I had that all finished Monday afternoon. You should have heard about it then (and if you clicked the "Check for Update" button in the Cheatsheet Compiler it would have told you there was an update).
However… before I announced the update, I got tinkering around with some of our pages on the website. Mainly the player pages, like this one for Joey Votto, or if you prefer a pitcher, how about David Price. I added player rankings, by position and overall, to the players pages. The rankings are highlighted in the upper-right, and also there is a short rankings box below the stats and projections showing not only the player's ranking, but the players ranked right around that player.
I was pretty happy with the results. Then I continued tinkering on some of the formatting of our tables to give them a sharper look and feel. By the time all of this tinkering got done, it was late, I was tired, so I figured I would start first thing Tuesday properly announcing the update.
Lo and behold, this morning I wake up and FantasyPros updated the Zeile projections again, so back to work I go. And it was quite an update. For those who like deep, deep fantasy baseball projections, you should like this. The number of hitter projections expanded from 407 players to a whopping 702. On the pitchers side, they increased from 283 to 690.
Finally my day and half journey is finished so I can announce the projections update. Open your copy of the Cheatsheet Compiler, make sure on the update tab the projection source is set to Zeile (FantasyPros), and hit Update Projections. This will also bring in updated ADP and depth charts. The latest download file – make sure you are updated to version 1.1 – includes this latest update.
Have fun prepping for your fantasy drafts.

Today was one of those days. We bundled up and got in the car heading east on scenic Route 6A. The drive alone was wonderful, with the sun glistening off the water at almost high tide on Scorton Creek and all the little ponds along that stretch of road. The swans on one of the ponds were also enjoying the sunshine.
|Hummingbird Cake at Momo's
Momo's Food Emporium is nestled along Route 6A between the road and the marshes in East Sandwich. As you step in the door, you almost forget that you came to have lunch when you see the cakes and pastries that fill the case in the front of the shop. My eye landed on a hummingbird cake and I began to salivate. Maybe later......First, deciding what to enjoy for lunch.
|Charlie enjoying a sunny at Momo's
|Momo's Food Emporium
Momo's is a lovely place for lunch but it is so much more. There are wonderful dishes to pick up for dinner, a nice selection of imported and specialty foods, and they cater parties and gatherings. Last Thanksgiving, I picked up all of the side dishes that I served for dinner here. What a treat that was. The works of local artisans are featured in the shop and Neila, the owner and chef, conducts cooking classes. Be sure to peruse their website.
We always tell our guests they should stop in for a treat but we have decided to put this charming emporium on our list of regular places to frequent for either lunch or our afternoon snack..... they do, after all, have 4 C's Ice Cream. Maybe we will see you there.

Our donut and fizzy sugar water consumption aside, we're working hard on keeping our arteries from clogging these days, but we must admit to being somewhat more reassured about our prospects of longevity whenever we read stories about tissue engineering like this:
Gabor Forgacs, a biophysicist at the University of Missouri in Columbia, described his "bioprinting" technique last week at the Experimental Biology 2006 meeting in San Francisco. It relies on droplets of "bioink", clumps of cells a few hundred micrometres in diameter, which Forgacs has found behave just like a liquid.
This means that droplets placed next to one another will flow together and fuse, forming layers, rings or other shapes, depending on how they were deposited. To print 3D structures, Forgacs and his colleagues alternate layers of supporting gel, dubbed "biopaper", with the bioink droplets. To build tubes that could serve as blood vessels, for instance, they lay down successive rings containing muscle and endothelial cells, which line our arteries and veins. "We can print any desired structure, in principle," Forgacs told the meeting.
We could tell you about how their method might be faster and therefore more desirable than the 3D scaffolding and 3D inkjet printing used thus far in tissue engineering, but forget that—we're just excited at the thought we might get less spam of the "She wants a better sex? All you need's here!" sort once labs can just grow bigger replacement dongs on order.

Blue Jays turning things around on defence
SEATTLE -- It's not a large sample size, but the Blue Jays have played much better defensively the past couple games.
The biggest play, perhaps, came when Brett Lawrie made a diving stop at third to initiate an inning-ending double play early in Monday's contest at Seattle to save a run. It hasn't just been the eye-openers, though, it's also been the routine plays that have been executed.
"I don't know if that's something that's contagious, it's just about making plays or not making them," manager John Gibbons said.
The outfielders took extra practice before Tuesday's game against the Mariners, working on throws into bases. Gibbons said he liked what he saw, but it's something that should always be there.
"You're going to have some games where you make mistakes, but defensively, that's something you can do all the time," he said. "Hitting, it kind of comes and goes, your timing is thrown off, you face a good pitcher. Defense -- there will be some mistakes -- should be there all the time."

Weekly Standard: Let A Thousand Teachers Bloom
Marcus A. Winters is the author of Teachers Matter: Rethinking How Public Schools Identify, Reward, and Retain Great Educators.
Teachers, more than any other feature of a school, determine how well students learn. Parents know it; research confirms it. So it might seem reasonable to expect that securing good teachers would be a well-honed art. Instead, the way we recruit, evaluate, retain, and compensate our more than three million public school teachers is almost entirely unrelated to teacher quality. It's actually worse than that: Modern research provides substantial evidence that the current system is not just bad at finding good teachers but actually incapable of doing so.
Consider the usual requirements for full-fledged admission to the profession — a master's degree from an education college, certification, and completion of three years' probationary teaching in a school. It turns out that none of these can be demonstrated to predict success in the classroom. While most teachers improve in their first three years (and then plateau), the evaluations during probation are seldom more than a rubber stamp. And once past that "screening," a teacher typically receives tenure — virtually, a job for life.
Of course, it is technically possible to fire teachers. But the process is so time-consuming and unlikely to succeed that few principals attempt it. In New York City, only 45 out of the district's nearly 72,000 teachers were fired for any reason during the 2006-07 and 2007-08 school years. Over an 18-year period, 94 percent of school districts in Illinois did not try to fire a single tenured teacher. So teachers hired by criteria unreflective of quality stay on for good.
Nor is their compensation based on their performance. In the vast majority of school systems, public school teachers' pay reflects the number of advanced degrees they have earned and their years in the classroom, neither of which is a predictor of effective teaching. In fact, it has been found consistently that a stunning 97 percent of the variation in teacher quality is not explained by the characteristics prioritized by the current system.
The cure, then, is to turn the system on its head: Open the floodgates to the teaching profession. Any college graduate who can convince a principal to hire her should be eligible to teach in a public school. The success of alternative certification programs such as Teach for America provides clear evidence that great teachers (as well as bad teachers) can enter the classroom through a variety of doors.
Since effective teachers cannot be identified before they teach, what is needed is a meaningful measure of the teacher's independent contribution to students' learning after she is actually on the job. Development of a generally reliable evaluation system is the reform on which all other promising policies hinge. And it can be done — the statistical tools exist to measure the teacher's "value added." Since statistical measures of teacher quality are by their nature imperfect, however, they should not be used in isolation.
Also needed are observations of teachers' performance, though they should be far more rigorous than those currently used. Research shows that principals are capable of identifying ineffective teachers, but they don't do so now because giving bad ratings creates headaches without actually leading to the dismissal of inadequate teachers. If principals are held accountable for their schools' performance, they will have an incentive to assess their teachers accurately and to act on those assessments. Teachers who are not helping their students learn should be removed from the classroom. No student should have to suffer with a bad teacher simply because that teacher has been in the system for more than three years and thus cannot be fired.
Another necessary step is to pay successful teachers more than mediocre teachers. Performance pay would give teachers an incentive to put forth their best effort. But even more important, differentiating pay according to performance would improve retention of the best teachers. The problem with raising all teachers' salaries under the current system is that higher salaries are just as attractive to weak teachers as they are to strong teachers. Higher salaries should go to the teachers a principal most wants to keep.
Defenders of the current system sometimes argue that those who propose reforms such as these are looking for scapegoats or are actually anti-teacher. That is not true. It is the current system that fails to recognize and reward great teachers. A system that doesn't distinguish between skilled teachers and those who just get by is not a system that values teachers.

This Covenant experience will guide participants in a comprehensive, in-depth study of the Bible over twenty-four weeks. Unlike the learning participants may have experienced in other groups, this in-depth study of the whole Bible emphasizes the biblical concept of covenant as a unifying pattern through all the books in the Old and New Testaments. It underscores the unique relationship that God chooses to have with us as God's people. This relationship is grounded in the faithfulness of God's love and on our ongoing commitment to stay in love with God while we share signs of that love with others.
This attractive DVD video set, produced in partnership with Revolution Pictures, comes with eight pages of episode summaries and 3 DVDs, one for each module—Creating, Living and Trusting.
The cohosts for these twenty-four video episodes are Reverend Shane Stanford, senior pastor at Christ United Methodist Church in Memphis, Tennessee, and Reverend Christine Chakoian, senior pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Lake Forest, Illinois. They will meet with a different biblical scholar in each video episode.
Each video in the coming weeks features a conversation between the hosts and a biblical scholar around the Covenant table. Their conversation is a model for the kind of learning dynamic that is central to this study.
More Questions? Visit http://covenantbiblestudy.com/ for more information.
Supplementing the twenty-four episodes of video (over seven hours) are thirty additional videos available by download from http://covenantbiblestudy.com/.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is a legislative branch government agency that provides auditing, evaluation, and investigative services for the United States Congress.[2] It is the supreme audit institution of the federal government of the United States. It identifies its core "mission values" as: accountability, integrity, and reliability.[3]
Work of GAO is done at the request of congressional committees or subcommittees or is mandated by public laws or committee reports. It also undertakes research under the authority of the Comptroller General. It supports congressional oversight by:
Products of GAO include the following:
GAO also produce special publications on specific issues of general interest to many Americans, such as its report on the fiscal future of the United States, GAO's role in the federal bid protest process, and critical issues for congressional consideration related to improving the nation's image abroad.
The GAO was established as the General Accounting Office by the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921. The act required the head of the GAO to
"investigate, at the seat of government or elsewhere, all matters relating to the receipt, disbursement, and application of public funds, and shall make to the President … and to Congress … reports [and] recommendations looking to greater economy or efficiency in public expenditures".[4]
According to the GAO's current mission statement, the agency exists to support the Congress in meeting its constitutional responsibilities and to help improve the performance and ensure the accountability of the federal government for the benefit of the American people.
The name was changed in 2004 to Government Accountability Office by the GAO Human Capital Reform Act to better reflect the mission of the office.[5][6][citation needed] The GAO's auditors conduct not only financial audits, but also engage in a wide assortment of performance audits.
Over the years, the GAO has been referred to as "The Congressional Watchdog" and "The Taxpayers' Best Friend" for its frequent audits and investigative reports that have uncovered waste and inefficiency in government. News media often draw attention to the GAO's work by publishing stories on the findings, conclusions and recommendations of its reports. Members of Congress also frequently cite the GAO's work in statements to the press, congressional hearings, and floor debates on proposed legislation. In 2007 the Partnership for Public Service ranked the GAO second on its list of the best places to work in the federal government and Washingtonian magazine included the GAO on its 2007 list of great places to work in Washington, a list that encompasses the public, private, and non-profit sectors.
The GAO is headed by the Comptroller General of the U.S., a professional and non-partisan position in the U.S. government. The comptroller general is appointed by the president, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, for a 15-year, non-renewable term. The president selects a nominee from a list of at least three individuals recommended by an eight-member bipartisan, bicameral commission of congressional leaders. During such term, the comptroller general has standing to pursue litigation to compel access to federal agency information. The comptroller general may not be removed by the president, but only by Congress through impeachment or joint resolution for specific reasons.[7] Since 1921, there have been only seven comptrollers general, and no formal attempt has ever been made to remove a comptroller general.
Labor-management relations became fractious during the nine-year tenure of the seventh comptroller general, David M. Walker. On September 19, 2007, GAO analysts voted by a margin of two to one (897–445), in a 75% turnout, to establish the first union in the GAO's 86-year history. The analysts voted to affiliate with the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers (IFPTE), a member union of the AFL-CIO. There are more than 1,800 analysts in the GAO analysts bargaining unit; the local voted to name itself IFPTE Local 1921, in honor of the date of the GAO's establishment. On February 14, 2008, the GAO analysts' union approved its first-ever negotiated pay contract with management; of just over 1,200 votes, 98 percent were in favor of the contract.
The GAO also establishes standards for audits of government organizations, programs, activities, and functions, and of government assistance received by contractors, nonprofit organizations, and other nongovernmental organizations. These standards, often referred to as Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS), are to be followed by auditors and audit organizations when required by law, regulation, agreement, contract, or policy. These standards pertain to auditors' professional qualifications, the quality of audit effort, and the characteristics of professional and meaningful audit reports.
In 1992 the GAO hosted XIV INCOSAI, the fourteenth triennial convention of the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI).[8]
GAO is a United States government electronic data provider, as all of its reports are available on its website,[9] except for certain reports whose distribution is limited to official use in order to protect national security.[citation needed] The variety of topics reported on range from Federal Budget and Fiscal Issues to Financial Management, Education, Retirement Issues, Defense, Homeland Security, Administration of Justice, Health Care, Information Management and Technology, Natural Resources, Environment, International Affairs, Trade, Financial Markets, Housing, Government Management and Human Capital. GAO often produces highlights of its reports that serve as a statement for the record for various subcommittees of the United States Congress.
Most GAO studies and reports are initiated by requests from members of Congress, including requests mandated in statute, and so reflect concerns of current political import, for example to study the impact of a government-wide hiring freeze.[10] Many reports are issued periodically and take a long view of U.S. agencies' operations.[citation needed] GAO also produces annual reports on key issues[11] such as Duplication and Cost savings[12] and High-Risk Update.[13]
The GAO prepares some 900 reports annually. GAO publishes reports and information relating to, inter alia:
Each year the GAO issues an audit report on the financial statements of the United States Government. The 2010 Financial Report of the United States Government was released on December 21, 2010.[14] The accompanying press release states that the GAO 'cannot render an opinion on the 2010 consolidated financial statements of the federal government, because of widespread material internal control weaknesses, significant uncertainties, and other limitations'.[14]
As part of its initiative to advocate sustainability, the GAO publishes a Federal Fiscal Outlook Report,[15] as well as data relating to the deficit.[16] The US deficit is presented on a cash rather than accruals basis, although the GAO notes that the accrual deficit 'provides more information on the longer-term implications of the government's annual operations'.[16] In FY 2010, the US federal government had a net operating cost of $2,080 billion, although since this includes accounting provisions (estimates of future liabilities), the cash deficit is $1,294 billion.[17]
This section needs to be updated.January 2020)(
The most recent GAO plan, for 2010-2015, sets out four goals, namely to address:
The Forensic Audits and Investigative Service (FAIS) team provides Congress with high-quality forensic audits and investigations of fraud, waste, and abuse; other special investigations; and security and vulnerability assessments. Its work cuts across a diverse array of government programs administered by IRS, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Department of Homeland Security, among others.
After the closing of the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) in 1995, Congress directed GAO to conduct a technology assessment (TA) pilot program. Between 2002 and 2006, four reports were completed– use of biometrics for border security, cyber security for critical infrastructure protection, technologies for protecting structures in wildland fires, and cargo container security technologies. In the first report, GAO found that while biometrics technologies could be used to secure the border, they had limitations in fingerprinting and facial recognition systems. An immediate impact of the report was a congressional testimony on the use of biometrics which, in turn, helped to inform U.S. national security reform efforts. GAO reports, which are made available to the public, have become essential vehicles for understanding science and technology (S&T) implications of policies considered by the Congress.
Since 2007, Congress has established a permanent TA function within GAO. This new operational role augments GAO's performance audits related to S&T issues, including effectiveness and efficiency of U.S. federal programs. In 2010, GAO joined European Parliamentary Technology Assessment (EPTA) as an associate member. In the last three years, GAO has completed TA reports on three topics, the most recent one being released in 2011 – rail security, climate engineering, and alternate neutron detectors. In the climate engineering report, Congress requested GAO to examine three areas: the current S&T state of climate engineering, views of experts on the future of climate engineering research, and potential public responses to climate engineering. When the GAO receives a request to conduct TA, it follows five phases: Acceptance, Planning, Data Gathering and Analysis, Product development and Distribution and Results. Phases one and two include selecting the topic and initiating the TA plan while the other ones are respectively: conducting TA, followed by developing the report and ensuring its accuracy and integrity, and finally receiving feedback from Congress and developing lessons learned to enhance the TA process.
The GAO describes the TA as providing "thorough and balanced analysis of critical technological innovations that affect our society, the environment, and the economy" explaining "the consequences that each featured technology will have on federal agencies and departments, and their wider impacts on American society".[19] This broad working definition enables GAO analysts to utilize TA as a tool for policy analysis. Technology assessments at GAO are conducted in accordance with GAO's quality assurance framework. GAO initiates technology assessments through congressional mandates, requests from congressional leaders, and through the authority of U.S. Comptroller General.
The Technology Assessment section of GAO's website.[20] offers the latest TA reports and videos.

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) Romanian prosecutors on Monday charged the deputy prime minister and 74 local officials with election fraud during a referendum that failed to unseat President Traian Basescu.
A majority of those who took part in the July 2012 national referendum voted to impeach Basescu on the grounds that he had overstepped his authority, but the vote was declared invalid because not enough people voted.
Anti-corruption prosecutors allege that Deputy Prime Minister Liviu Dragnea used his influence as then-chairman of a county council to try to increase the recorded number of votes to make the referendum valid in his county.
Transcripts released Monday indicate Dragnea who denies the charges spoke to party officials and sent text messages ordering them to get people out to vote.
"Get yourselves organized and bring everyone to vote. Tie them up, bring them in your arms," he allegedly told party colleague Valentin Boboc, according to the transcripts.
The 74 others in the case are accused, among other things, of "stuffing ballots for voters who had not voted and of signing for those people."
Dragnea was the mastermind, alleged the prosecutors, who filed the case in the Romania's top court, the High Court.
"He coordinated a complex information system through which he sent messages, orders and recommendations to stimulate citizens to vote through illegal methods via mayors, party activists and local authorities," the prosecution team said.
Dragnea is a member of the Social Democracy Party, which was at the time in the center-left opposition but now is in the governing coalition.
The then-opposition knew it could remove Basescu from office if more than half the electorate voted. But only 46 percent of voters turned out, rendering the referendum invalid.
The opposition Democratic Liberal Party called Monday for Dragnea to resign. He refused, calling the charges "unfounded" and "a blow to the foundations of democracy."
Prime Minister Victor Ponta, a Basescu rival, said the case was politically motivated.

Bday in Office, Checkers & Alexis BSC
>> Tuesday, May 19, 2009
I've decided to split the extremely long post during my birthday weekend into several posts, according to days...SO much to blog!! *wergh*
Date/Day: 15 May 2009, Friday
Celebration in office
My gang tried tricking me to the pantry area downstairs, with the idea of 'binding a book' (the utility room for book binding is downstairs). Great idea, girls...it didn't work. Apparently, Lian emailed my project manager to seek approval to get me out at that particular time....all of them kinda "pakat" (conspired) with my project manager since I-dunno-when....awesome...
I reluctantly went down, knowing that somehow they're planning to surprise me for my birthday. I was happy, no doubt, but also quite scared as Lian is famous for cake-smashing & I dislike getting dirty :P
Anyways, to cut the story short, almost the whole gang was there, including my 3rd-floor gang, the GT gang, and the F & A adults gang :) Awesome-possum :D I'm really thankful for these friends...they got me a cake, with very cute candles, & drew me a card filled with lots of "love notes" :P
Thanks to all who came for the celebration & who were part of the surprise!
Celebration with Ling & Theng
Venue: Checkers Rib Restaurant, Damansara Heights
Overall comment: Small place out of no where, pretty good food though slightly on the pricey side, & a 'lil too noisy when everyone starts talking...hahaha
After work, I headed off to Ling's house to pick both Ling & Theng up for a dinner planned by Ling. She managed to book a place at Checkers Rib Restaurant in Damansara Heights, a place supposedly famous for their porky dishes! Yums!
The place was tucked in the middle of a housing area in Lorong Setiabistari 2...it's not that hard to locate, though it's quite weird that out of no where, appears a row of shop lots...hahaha. This place requires reservation & is actually a very small restaurant (can sit 6-7 tables inside...around 30 ppl...and around 3 tables outside). It's not very cozy (since it's small) and it's usually full- almost everyone will be talking in that small restaurant, causing the place to be quite noisy; we much prefer a quieter place to just enjoy our food & the catch-ups that goes around the table :)
The food there's good...it's slightly pricey, but for the quality you get, it's not too bad. The owner/boss is also very friendly & humorous. His recommendations are pretty good, though I think it's a very standard sorta recommendation for a small, simple restaurant. They don't really have a long list on the menu...just enough to go around, & I guess it's enough to keep them in business!

Overall comment: Nice ambiance, lovely dessert, cozy seats!
After dinner at Checkers, the 3 of us decided to head somewhere else for some peace...hahaha...we thought of some dessert to accompany of catch-ups as well, & Alexis in Bangsar Shopping Centre was the pick :)
I personally haven't been there before & mmm...I thought it was a good place to dine, despite the fact that the desserts there are slightly pricey as well! But the taste....oo-la-la....worth paying! The mixed berries meringue was the best as compared to the mango cream pie, both which we ordered.
After spending 2 or more hours there, we decided to call it a night & headed back to Ling's house, before I left for home...it was a lovely night.
Thank you, Ling & Theng!! WSze, wish you could join us!!

THE SURPRISE! - a love story *gasps!*
By the time I got home, it was around 12:30a.m. There wasn't any parking space downstairs my apartment, so I had to park at the 2nd row, slightly further from my apartment block. I was too un-bothered to hurry up to the house despite the hour being so 'late' & dangerous.
I came down of the car, opened the car boot & started stuffing some of my stuff into my backpack...suddenly, Aaron appeared beside my car IN PERSON..."Happy birthday, darling...."
I was too shocked to response....all I could say was "Oh my gosh....", gasped, & looked really stunned....I was too surprised 'til I didn't even go near him nor scream...all I stupidly did was to turned back to my packing & started packing my bag...I looked as if I've seen a ghost...hahaha...really silly....
He took my bag & said "Let's go up....", but all I could response once again was "I...I still have things to pack....", gave him that same in-shock-look, closed the boot, went to the front to get my laptop & locked my car..."You're not dreaming, darl...," he said with a smile....it must be quite a priceless look on my face...cis. I had to slap myself gently to ensure that I was in reality...IT WAS REAL!!!
We went up to my house & as I walked past my sister's room, I screamed my might TWICE 'til my sister thinks I'm mad....all I could do was just to scream & point at the door, where he was standing there to lock my house's gate. It was too much to believe....really.
I was tricked to believe that he was too busy to come down to KL & had to work on Saturday. Apparently, he has planned this out since TWO weeks ago, even before I went to Kuantan last week as a so-called surprise, which didn't really turn out as a surprise. Sheesh. I even had a dream that he was coming to celebrate my birthday with me! Gosh. I should have believed that dream & not get myself into such a surprised-mode. He was even in PJ the whole day on Friday already, meeting up with his friends before he came to meet me! Bah! What a good planner....
Ruthie's happy.... :)

EDGE back up on App Store
Mobigames' EDGE is now available again on Apple's App Store. Yours for £2.99.
The game fell victim to Tim Langdell and his amazing trademark squatting, and has been in limbo for months.
EA challenged Langdell recently, saying none of his claims to the "edge" name were valid as he wasn't currently using it for commercial purposes.
Maybe he got the hint.
Thanks, EG.

Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima has told VideoGamer.com that he wants Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance 2 to star Cyborg Ninja Gray Fox, and have him fight against nano machine zombies.
"We started off with the concept of having Cyborg Raiden as the main character, but gradually as development proceeded he kind of grew closer and closer to Cyborg Ninja," said Kojima.
"Honestly I think that personally if we are going to make a sequel to Rising it should feature Frank Yaeger as a main character versus zombies... nano machine-powered zombies. That's what I'm proposing to Platinum and the producer of the project, but they seem to be ignoring me.
"I said I'll even write the story for it, but our story writer said, 'no that's ok, that's ok. Don't worry about it'."
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is in stores today.

Mary J. Blige Lawsuit -- I'm A First Class Star -- So Treat Me Like One
Mary J. Blige Lawsuit I'm A First Class Star So Treat Me Like One
Mary J. Blige is a big star who deserves to be treated like a big star and if you try to sue her ...she will try to crush you in court like the big star that she is -- at least that's how it seems in new legal docs.
MJB is firing back at Vision Entertainment Worldwide -- a company that sued her for bailing on a concert last December ... to the tune of $145K which was her advance.
Mary's response -- sue me ... sue you! In her countersuit, MJB says if anybody breached the contract ... it was VEW -- because it failed to provide first-class air travel for her and her crew ... because that's what an artist of her stature deserves.
She has absolutely no plans to give back the $145K ... in fact ... she's demanding the company pay her the balance of the deal -- $105,000.
Mary don't fly coach.
Waiting for your permission to load the comments.

So this is what is getting built? Oh well I was hoping for some taller tower. They look interesting though.
Sure its different but I don't think that its an overly strong or good design.

Highlights from my new commute
In no particular order, sites that I pass daily and watch for progress.
I don't actually know what the plans are for the parking lot here on West Broadway. Just the other day this one got the fence. A few days later they put in the trailers. You might have to look twice, but yes, the trailers are on top of the scaffolding.
I'm not sure if those buildings are what's being built, in fact, I'd say no. The Cetra/Ruddy website indicates that they did massing studies to determine how to use the 500,000 sf, including the space for the law school. Well, an application for a new law school building was already issued, 6 stories, just shy of 200,000 sf by the Smith Group.
Plus, the article explicitly stated that one 306,000 sf residential building is planned by the owners of the lot. No permits have been issued for 240 church, not even demolition. The lot is about 10,000 sf, so it will be a minimum of 30 stories, probably on the order of 40-45.
I didn't like the look of those buildings anyway.
^Agreed. Something about those designs just screams "Look at me, look at me!"
Too much fluff, not enough substance.
From "CURBED"
Post a pic of a prime parking-lot development site on Curbed, and there's bound to be a groundbreaking there before long. Friday afternoon, it was the site at West Broadway and Leonard where the trailers were on top of the scaffolding. Today, it's filled with white and blue balloons and signs for New York Law School, according to not one but two intrepid correspondents. All of which led us to the rendering you see above, which shows the school's new glass-enclosed 200,000-square-foot building, set to be done by fall 2008.

Tower looming as law school breaks library ground in Tribeca
By Ronda Kaysen
New York Law School sold its Tribeca library building, making way for a new high-rise residential tower and shoring up its endowment, now one of the 10 largest in the country.
The school sold the Mendik Library site on Church and Leonard Sts. in June to the Alexico Group, a development and management company known for building luxury residential towers and hotels around the city. The proceeds from the sale estimated at about $140 million, according to the New York Post and the sale of $135 million in triple-tax free bonds from the city filled the law schools coffers. Its endowment is now worth about $190 million, rivaling the nations best-endowed law schools including Harvard, Yale, Columbia and New York University.
Its a very elite category, Richard Matasar, dean of the 1,400-student Tribeca law school, said in a telephone interview. Endowments signify that the school has reached a certain stature.
Flush with the newfound funds, the school broke ground on a new nine-story library and classroom building to rise on the site of a Leonard St. parking lot and a former residential building at 54 Leonard St. The new 200,000 sq. ft. glass-enclosed building, designed by the SmithGroup, will rise five stories above ground and have four stories below grade, and include a cafeteria, auditorium, classrooms and a new library. The school also plans to finish renovating existing buildings by 2010.
But the development that will most dramatically impact the neighborhood will be the new 240 Church St. tower, a 306,000 sq. ft. luxury residential building developed by Izak Senbahar and Simon Elias of Alexico.
The team has developed several luxury projects in recent years, including the Alex Hotel in Midtown. The two recently developed 165 Charles St., a 16-story residential condo designed by Richard Meier. That West Village tower with Hudson River views was lauded by the architectural community, but evoked the ire of local residents who insisted that it and two other nearby Meier buildings changed the character of the neighborhood and cut the area off from the waterfront. Alexico is currently at work on a 30-story luxury tower on the Upper East Side designed by Costas Kondylis.
The Mendik sale has been the subject of speculation since the school first announced last summer that the parcel was on the market. Last fall, a deal with Tishman Speyer Properties fell through and since then the school has been mostly silent about who might buy the property and what a potential buyer might develop there. Even after the sale, school officials declined to say who purchased the building and for how much, despite the information being a matter of public record.
My responsibility is to generate the resources we need to be able to exist into the future, said Matasar. You have to have a process where a potential buyer feels they can have a confidential conversation.
Some neighbors have voiced outrage at the possibility of a high-rise tower landing in their sleepy, Tribeca neighborhood, worrying that a new influx of residents will further burden an already strained public school system. The neighborhoods only zoned elementary school, P.S. 234, is already at 120 percent capacity.
The area is mostly zoned for low-rise buildings, with heights capped at 120 feet. But the Mendik site has much looser zoning restrictions. A developer could build a 306,000 sq. ft. tower on the 12,500 sq. ft. parcel, an equation that could translate to a 50-story building, some speculate.
Whatever beef that exists is a beef with the zoning laws of New York City, said Matasar, noting that the sale is as-of-right, or within the zoning laws. We should be able to maximize the value of our property.
Community Board 1, which represents the neighborhood, often struggles with developers to reduce the scale of new developments. But in this case, the board has taken a quieter approach, arguing that it has little room to influence a development that will not need to go through any kind of public review process.
We are not pleased about this at all, but the decision was made years ago to rezone that area and put the large buildings along Church St. and that leaves us in a very unfortunate situation, said Julie Menin, C.B. 1 chairperson. The neighborhoods efforts would be better spent fighting for more public schools to absorb all the new children in the neighborhood, she added.
Not everyone agrees that the options are so limited on an as-of-right development. Former C.B. 1 chairperson Madelyn Wils insists that developers can be influenced and she has organized a group of Leonard St. residents to fight the development.
When I was chair of the [community] board, I had my head to the ground and I generally knew which developers were being talked to, she said. Many times I talked to the developers and I warned them. I tried to take a more proactive approach to it. Its just a matter of style.
The law school could have been pressured to restrict the terms of its sale because its endowment was enriched with $135 million in public bonds, said Wils. Given that the public is basically endowing New York Law School it seems to me theyre taking advantage of the community, she said.
In 1995, Wils chaired the C.B. 1 committee that worked to rezone the neighborhood. Wils said the school was exempt from the zoning restrictions with the idea that it might one day grow, not so that it could sell off its property to become one of the wealthiest schools in the country. This isnt expanding the law school in the spirit of what was given, she said.
Wils and others in the group of residents started a fundraising campaign and has met with City Councilmember Alan Gerson to discuss their options. Now that the building is sold and the buyer is known, we can come up with real strategy, said Leonard St. resident Antonio Convit.
We are going to explore different avenues of leverage to keep the height to a scale that comports with the community, said Gerson. Ultimately, I think they would recognize that with all else being equal, people will want to come in and live in a place where theyre welcome, not where theyre viewed as denigrating a community.
Alexico will meet with the community board in the fall to discuss its development plans. Senbahar of Alexico did not return a call for comment.
The law school has no plans to further develop the Tribeca campus once the new addition is complete. They will however, continue to look for dormitory space. Last year, the school leased a 13-story East Village dorm, which was a resounding success with students. It turns out the East Village is more the taste of young people, said Matasar. It turns out were a bunch of old farts.

With Hefty Land Sale, Law School to Expand
By Carl Glassman
Excavation began last month at West Broadway and Leonard Streets, formerly the site of a parking lot, in preparation for the construction of a sparkling, glass-encased complex for New York Law School. The new 200,000-square-foot building, with five stories above ground and four more below, is part of a $190 million expansion and renovation that will nearly double the size of the school's Tribeca campus.
The new building, which will house a library, classrooms, an auditorium and more, is due to be completed in the fall of 2008, with the fully renovated campus ready for students in 2010.
While school officials are celebrating what they call a "truly transformative event" in their institution's 115-year history, some neighborhood residents say the price is too high — many stories too high.
To enrich its endowment and help pay for the expansion, the school recently sold its Mendik Library property at Church and Leonard Streets, along with unused air rights from the site it is developing. Izak Senbahar and Simon Elias of the Alexico Management Group bought the Mendik Library parcel for $136.5 million.
Zoning for that lot allows a 306,000-square-foot building, which could rise about 40 stories. The city exempted the site when it rezoned much of Tribeca below North Moore Street in 1995, reducing the allowable size of buildings in the neighborhood.
City Councilman Alan Gerson told the Trib that, hoping to influence the developer, he will explore whether other projects in Alexico's portfolio are getting help from the city — and need approval from the City Council.
"We're going to look at possible legitimate points of leverage with respect to these developers, including all city permits and benefits," Gerson said.
"I expect that [Alexico] would want to be good neighbors and want their people moving into a welcoming situation," he added.
Among Senbahar and Elias' properties are the Richard Meier-designed tower at 165 Charles St., the Mark Hotel on East 77th Street and an apartment tower, designed by Kostas Kondylis, under construction on East 67th Street.
The developers are expected to meet with Community Board 1 this fall. "I made it clear to them," said CB1 chairwoman Julie Menin, "that we will fight any project that is not contextual with the neighborhood."
Alexico has not released its plans and did not return calls for comment.
The law school has been criticized by some for putting its endowment — now one of the 10 richest in the country—ahead of community interests. Its coffers have been filled, in part, with $135 million in insured bonds issued through the New York City Industrial Development Agency.
"The law school got a huge endowment from the public, the public is you and me," said former CB1 chairwoman Madelyn Wils, who was asked by residents across the street from the site to advocate on their behalf. "It would seem appropriate for them to have taken a look at where they were."
In a telephone interview, Richard Matasar, the school's dean and president, vigorously defended the land sale. Any "predesigned restriction," he said, would not give the school the resources it needs to compete with other schools and realize its goals. Income from the sale, and the city-insured bonds, were needed to secure further financing, he said.
"We have to be a financially secure institution. By selling the excess of what we don't need, we're able to provide enough assets that would give comfort to financial markets to lend to us."
With the deal now sealed, can the developers be influenced by community pressure? Only with a local show of force, Menin and Wils asserted.
"If there is a large number of people who live close to that site and who feel it's inappropriate," said Wils, "hopefully we'll find out soon."
I wish that something could be done with that horrible yellow and orange power station across the street from this site. It would be nice if verticle wall containing water falls were built all around it.
Work is going full steam ahead at this site ...
It's funny that such a terrible law school has such a huge endowment.
Not a worthy place to study?

McDonough favored for Obama chief of staff
President Obama has yet to name his new chief of staff, but there is a strong favorite.
Long-time Obama aide Denis McDonough is likely to be elevated to the post, according to news reports, though White House officials caution that the president has not made a final decision.
McDonough, 43, foreign policy adviser to Obama during his 2008 presidential campaign, currently serves as deputy national security adviser.
He could replace outgoing chief of staff Jack Lew, whom Obama nominated to be Treasury secretary.

Conn. utilities claim fraud in no-shut-off program
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Municipal electric companies in Connecticut say a growing number of people are abusing a state law that protects those with serious or life-threatening illnesses from having their electricity shut off during the winter months because they can't afford to pay the bill.
The small power companies claim the abuse threatens their ability to provide low-cost, reliable electricity to their customers.
"Unfortunately, in recent years, it has become very evident that there are some who are cheating the system and thereby putting a well-intended program in jeopardy," Ken Sullivan, director of utilities at the Borough of Jewett City's Department of Public Utilities, recently told members of the General Assembly's Energy and Technology Committee. Sullivan said he's seen customers laughing when they hand over a medical note that says they have a serious illness "for the sole purpose of not paying their respective electric bill."
Despite such claims, advocates for the needy contend they're not aware of any rampant abuse and have voiced strong concern about the utilities wanting the ability to dispute whether a customer's medical assessment is legitimate and attempting to limit access to the program.
"I work with low-income customers and have never seen an abuse of the winter moratorium protection," said Lee-Ann Gomes, supervisor of Social Work at Norwich Human Services, where she has worked for the past 29 years. Instead, Gomes said, her office has helped to get power restored to elderly and disabled clients who are unaware of the program, sometimes suffering in freezing homes and apartments.
It's questionable whether lawmakers will act during this year's legislative session on the thorny issue, the subject of meetings over the past few months among lawmakers, the utilities, state officials and stakeholders. Sen. Bob Duff, D-Norwalk, co-chairman of the energy committee, said he didn't expect the panel to act on it Tuesday at its next scheduled gathering.
Duff said he asked those who participated in the meetings to come up with a compromise, but they hadn't produced one as of late last week.
"While I believe that there is some abuse of the system, and it is greatly affecting our municipal electric districts, that abuse is not recognized by many others at the state Capitol," Duff said.
"We knew that it could be a controversial issue because nobody wants to have people who don't have the ability to pay their electric bill get shut off. But we also want to curb any issues that are out there," he said. "It's a tricky line to walk."
The bill proposed by the utilities would allow them to verify an applicant's income and liquid assets, change the definition of a "life-threatening" situation, set a limit of $10,000 in liquid assets that can be owned by adult members of the household and allow a utility to contest the validity of a life-threatening or serious illness certification issued by a physician with the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority.
Jennifer Castonguay, of Bristol, questions the need for such legislation. Castonguay, who has multiple sclerosis and is unable to work, has used the hardship program and said she ultimately had to pay off her debt to Connecticut Light and Power through a payment program.
"This is by no means trying to get out of your bill. All it does is prevent them from turning it off when you get behind," she said. "This doesn't make your bills go away."
Raphael Podolsky, staff attorney for the Legal Assistance Resource Center of Connecticut Inc., said in written testimony that if participating customers fail to comply with their repayment plan, their service can be terminated. He said it's substantially the same protection for any other customer facing termination.
Podolsky also stressed that even though someone is certified by a doctor as having a life-threatening situation, it doesn't mean a utility company is prevented from taking action to collect a bill or money from a customer.
"It only precludes use of the one collection method that puts the life of the customer at risk -- shutoff," he said. "The company can get a small claims judgment and enforce it by such means as bank account execution or placement of a lien on the home."

The Brunch Dish: Kegs & Eggs at DryHop Brewers
Reviews of brunch dishes.
Brewpub and brunch aren't two words that commonly intersect. My archetype of weekend brunch leans more towards the familial, homey, and stroller-laden rather than the boisterous beer haunt, but DryHop Brewers makes a strong case for the latter. This comfortable, crafty addition to East Lakeview could very well be the new quintessential Chicago brunch haven—not terribly crowded, accessible, and comforting to all, with a menu rife with decadent and inventive American brunch fare. It's the brewpub brunch I never knew I desperately needed.
The brunch menu at DryHop Brewers, adorably, is called Kegs & Eggs. I laud them for this title, because I could seriously see myself opening a brewpub purely for the opportunity to name a brunch menu this. Eggs of course are prevalent, as are plenty of DryHop beers, which make a nice supplement to morning coffee if you're feeling randy. Eggs are indeed the finest example of DryHop's talents, deftly personified in a smorgasbord called Hank's Plate ($10), an array of two eggs, three slices of thick Broadbent's hickory-smoked bacon with brown sugar-black pepper glaze, potato casserole, and a duck fat buttermilk biscuit with country sausage gravy. It's like a grown-up Big Breakfast, which I proudly admit to loving in my younger, naiver years, and a perfect sampling of DryHop's wares, all on one heinously convenient plate.
Eggs come any way you like, serving as a blank canvas for everything else on the plate. Crispy shards of bacon incite drool from even the staunchest naysayer (e.g. me, usually), with that habit-forming treacly, peppery glaze and pungent notes of smoke. It tastes like eating a pig roast in the midst of a forest fire, and it's delicious. The potato casserole is really just a pile of tender baby potatoes enrobed in a buttery glaze, and that's really all we need in the world, right? As for the biscuit, it sports a crispier, darker exterior than most biscuits, providing a nice juxtaposition against the soft, doughy innards awash in sausage gravy. Hank, you did good.
Eggs are at their best in DryHop's omelettes. Let me just say that this place has the coolest names for omelettes ever, from the Bikini-clad Extremist filled with smoked thuringer sausage (I feel like there's a saucy double entendre somewhere in here that I'm afraid to think about) to the Angry Toddler stuffed with bacon, apples, and cheddar. A fun riff on a ham and cheese omelette, the Master's Degree in Folklore ($12) combines ham with Munster cheese, arugula, caramelized onions, and butternut squash. Can't say I've ever had butternut squash in an omelette before, but 'tis the season! And it worked wonders, as the tender orange morsels melted into the eggs lending a mild sweetness to the savory medley.
Swinging the pendulum in the other direction, it doesn't get any sweeter than The Captain's French Toast ($9). This thing is a sugar bomb, featuring thick slices of challah dunked in rum-spiked batter, encrusted in Cap'n Crunch cereal, and doused in "liquid cheesecake," blueberries, and bourbon-infused maple syrup. Sounds like something a child would make given free reign of the kitchen, and despite the active fear of rotting your teeth with each bite, it tastes pretty sublime. Yes it's overly saccharine, but you'll hardly notice it once you're buzzed off rum and bourbon. The cereal provides a nice crackly crust, while the bourbon-y maple syrup tempers the sweet flavor of the cream cheese a bit.
Who would have thought that a brewpub could turn out such crafty brunch fare? The option to drink beer in the morning and indulge in such eggy wonders is an opportunity too good to pass by. The best part is you can just drink your guilty feelings away when you're done.

The Power of Women Working Together
Sixty percent of the world's university graduates are women, and women control the majority of consumer goods buying decisions. Yet women continue to be underrepresented in most businesses and government, especially at the senior levels.
CFUW is working to inspire, empower and support women to take on leadership as CFUW Club executives, in politics, in careers such as in the science, technology, engineering, mathematics and computer science (STEM) fields and for important social causes.
Based on its work to promote women's leadership and economic empowerment, CFUW is launching a national Mentorship Pilot Program that will focus on three areas: women in the STEM fields; CFUW members who have leadership portfolios and women who are interested in entering the field of politics.

A petition signed by 76 registered Waitsfield voters calls for a Town Meeting agenda item that would shift the cost of the municipal water project to all taxpayers and would create a per gallon water usage fee to be paid to two landowners.
The petition was received by the Waitsfield Select Board at its January 24 meeting. It proposes shifting $50,000 of the estimated $147,000 annual debt from users of the municipal water project to all of Waitsfield's taxpayers.
The petition also calls for creating a per gallon user fee that would be paid to two landowners whose land is the subject of condemnation proceedings by the town. Waitsfield began work on a $7.6 million municipal water project last fall. Water for the project comes from a well the town drilled in the right of way off Reed Road.
In December, the Vermont Superior Court ruled that Waitsfield had not proven that Reed Road was a town road, ruling in favor of two landowners, Virginia Houston and Jean Damon/Toby Richards, who challenged the town.
In January, the town Select Board voted to begin negotiations with the landowners to purchase an estimated acre of land and a portion of the traveled way on Reed Road. Simultaneously, the select board voted to begin condemnation proceedings on that land.
Under the terms of the federal and state financing package that the town received for the project, all costs associated with the water project are to be borne by the users of the system - as opposed to all taxpayers in the town.
The question of whether the town can legally shift costs from system users to all taxpayers has not yet been answered although the town is currently contacting its loan/grant providers on the matter.
Corinthia Richards, author of the petition, representing the Damon/Richards family, said that the petition presented a proposal and a chance for townspeople to discuss having all taxpayers share the cost of the municipal water system. She said that if an agreement could be reached on a per gallon usage fee to landowners, it could mean the town would not have to buy the land or go through the process of condemning the land.
"As a settlement solution, the two landowners (Richards/Damon and Houston) have proposed the formation of a public/private partnership to resolve the water/land dispute. Funds will be used to pay down the town's annual debt service and allow for a water usage fee which would be partially paid to the landowners to compensate them for legal fees and the use of their property. A settlement in this issue would avoid the town attempting to use the powers of eminent domain to condemn three to four acres of private property and keep the town from being continually tied up in lengthy legal issues which could ultimately lead to the water project's failure," Richards explained.
The town's condemnation proceedings get underway on Monday, January 31, and the town is currently in negotiations with the town landowners. Per Vermont statute, as authorized by statute 19 V.S.A. Chapter 7 and 24 V.S.A Chapter 89, eminent domain (or condemnation) is legal and is generally favorable to municipalities if the town can show the requisite public good.
When the select board verified that the petition included the requisite number of signatures, the board accepted the item for the Town Meeting warning, which will be posted on January 30. At its January 24 meeting the board stalemated on a vote of whether the water petition would be voted on from the floor of Town Meeting or by Australian ballot.
Only those present at Town Meeting could vote if the article is heard from the floor. All voters could vote if the article were voted on by Australian ballot. Board members Paul Hartshorn and Sal Spinosa voted for having the vote be by Australian ballot and board members Kate Williams (board chair) and Charlie Hosford voted to have it heard from the floor at Town Meeting.
After the tie vote, Town Administrator Valerie Capels was charged with taking the petition wording to the Vermont secretary of state's office to discuss the Australian ballot/Town Meeting floor vote issue. She reported that Kathy Scheele, director of elections and campaign finance, said that the petition did not qualify to be voted on by Australian ballot.
Capels said that Scheele also said that such a petition - and the accompanying Town Meeting article and vote - could be considered advisory rather than binding but also said that the select board wanted to honor the spirit and intent of the petition and the will of the voters regarding the petition. Scheele could not be reached for comment.
