Can you always find a parking spot at Town Center?
A city consultant said parking is fine during peak hours at the city's biggest business hub, counting 443 excess spaces.
But the figure was disputed by three city councilmen.
"Somehow that surplus (of parking) seems to elude me," Councilman Ross Chun said.
In protest of the parking claim, one councilman abstained from a vote directing staff to proceed with a Specific Plan for the center. That vote was approved.
Councilman Bill Phillips supported the consultant's parking analysis. It's not a matter of whether the parking exists, but where, Phillips said.
"There is excess parking," Phillips said. "I'm not asking anyone to hop on a bus. I'm saying if you park at Staples you can walk to the movie theater. It's very doable."
Currently, 82 businesses operate out of Town Center. Of those, 40 percent provide food. A consultant called for more food and beverage options for the center's shoppers.
Here are some more recommendations for future improvements:
- 120,000 additional square feet of retail space
- a dog park near PetSmart
- more chairs and community gathering points
- offsite parking and a shuttle
- upgrades to architecture and landscaping
- a new festival plaza that could accommodate a farmers market
The goal of all these improvements is to protect the bottom line, said Albert Armijo, director of planning services.
"We want, first and foremost, to improve the financial situation for tenants, property owners and the city," he said.
Armijo said the center is doing fine but could improve. He said it's hard to find medium- and big-box retailers in this economy to fill empty spots, but that could change.
Other problems the center faces are "misshaped" parcels, described by Armijo as "fingers, tentacles extending throughout the center."
Signs could be more attractive, Armijo said, and traffic chokepoints around the center's various entryways could be improved.
Another Town Center weakness is that it "doesn't have a common sense of place or unifying aesthetic at this time," he said.

DALLAS — The spirit of giving seems to grow during the holiday season, and many donations are made to charitable causes at this special time of year. The IRS reminded taxpayers today to keep some important points in mind when making donations with the expectation of deducting them on a federal tax return.
You can deduct donations only if you make them to a qualified organization. Most organizations other than churches and governments must apply to the IRS to become qualified.
"Search for many charitable organizations online at IRS.gov with Publication 78," said Clay Sanford, an IRS spokesman in Dallas. "Otherwise, a contributor can ask the organization for a copy of its exemption letter, which states the Code section that describes the organization and whether contributions made to the organization are deductible."
Qualified organizations include nonprofit groups that are religious, charitable, educational, scientific, or literary in purpose, or that work to prevent cruelty to children or animals.
Sanford added that it is necessary to file Form 1040 and itemize deductions on Schedule A.
This deduction is not available to people who choose the standard deduction, including anyone who files a short form (1040A or 1040EZ). A taxpayer will have a tax savings only if the total itemized deductions (mortgage interest, charitable contributions, state and local taxes, etc.) exceeds the standard deduction.
Be sure to keep good records, too.
"There are recordkeeping requirements for cash contributions regardless of the amount," Sanford noted. "Remember to keep a written communication from the charity with the name of the charity, date and amount of the contribution or a bank record--canceled checks will work, or bank statements containing the name of the charity, the date and amount."
More information about charitable donations can be found in IRS Publication 526, available online at IRS.gov, or have it mailed to you by calling, toll-free, 1-800-TAX-FORM.

Sometimes you can't tell the difference between tears of joy and tears of sorrow.
Those are the moments when you know your life has been impacted.
They don't come often, but at the annual Dick Vitale Gala, they will be in abundance.
Those in attendance will cry and laugh and go home believing their life is not so bad. They will give their children a second look and be thankful.
They will think of Lacey Holsworth and the other kids who have spent nearly half of their young lives trying to stay alive in their fight against cancer.
Holsworth's smile and courage made America fall in love with her.
She was the star of last year's Dick Vitale Gala and the shining light that led the Michigan State basketball team to the Big Ten championship and a trip to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.
At this year's gala, she will again provide inspiration. It will be in memory only, but still powerful.
Known as Princess Lacey, she lost her life to cancer last month at the age of 8.
The ninth Vitale gala, slated for May 16 at the Ritz-Carlton in Sarasota, will attract celebrities from throughout the sports world.
The list of guests includes Alabama head football coach Nick Saban, new Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Lovie Smith and Florida State head football coach Jimbo Fisher.
It's an all-star lineup filled with surefire hall of famers. But none will have the impact made by Lacey and the other kids who are part of Vitale's army of hope.
At last year's gala, Lacey's smile and spirit were non-stop. You would've never known she was in a fight for her life and had been unable to walk for a period of time when tumors wrapped around her spine and kidney.
Vitale will award special grants in memory of Lacey and Lakewood Ranch's Eddie Livingston, who lost his life to cancer last November at the age of 5 after a two-year battle.
"There is no way we can let these kids die in vain," Vitale said. "No one can imagine what a family goes through when this happens to them. What we can do is raise money to further cancer research so doctors can find a cure. Lacey brought the house down with her spirit and courage last year."
The net proceeds will go to fund pediatric cancer research. The V Foundation's Scientific Advisory Committee will determine where the grant money goes.
The gala is sold out, but Vitale reminds everyone they can still make a donation by going to his website (dickvitaleonline.com) or the V Foundation.
"When Lacey lost her battle, I promised her father I would keep her spirit alive by raising $250,000 in her honor for a pediatric cancer research grant. I am determined to do it for Lacey's family and all the families facing this dreaded disease," Vitale said.
The Vitale Gala raised more than $1.7 million for pediatric cancer research last year, bringing the event's total to more than $10 million in its eight-year history.
A lot of these kids struggled in anonymity until Vitale put them on the front lines, where their heroics touched the lives of many adults giving them their own personal sense of courage. One of the most popular photos was Eddie "Superman" Livingston unbuttoning his shirt to reveal a Superman uniform.
Lacey had more than 40,000 Twitter followers; she had become a national symbol of hope. All she wanted to do was have fun and watch her Michigan State basketball team.
The gala is an extension of the Jimmy V Foundation that was started in part by Vitale after the death of former N.C. State head basketball coach Jimmy Valvano in 1993.
"I know Jimmy V would be thrilled that these personalities from the world of sports are donating their time and effort to be with us," Vitale said. "We are blessed that they are willing to help make Jimmy V's dream of battling cancer a reality of utilizing their celebrity status to raise funds for cancer research."
The gala will honor Saban, Notre Dame head basketball coach Mike Brey and Indiana head basketball coach Tom Crean.
Among those expected to attend are Kentucky head coach John Calipari and other head basketball coaches: Sean Miller (Arizona), Archie Miller (Dayton), Tom Izzo (Michigan State), Jim Boeheim (Syracuse), Jim Larranaga (Miami), Steve Alford (UCLA), Herb Sendek (Arizona State), Joe Dooley (Florida Gulf Coast), Brian Gregory (Georgia Tech), Anthony Grant (Alabama), Leonard Hamilton (Florida State), Mark Gottfried (N.C. State) and Fran McCaffery (Iowa). Hall of fame high school basketball coach Bob Hurley Sr. and his son, Bob Hurley Jr., former Duke All-American and current head coach at Buffalo, also will attend.
Expected local attendees include Nick Bollettieri, New York Giants cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie from Lakewood Ranch, Green Bay Packers cornerback Sam Shields from Booker and IMG head football coach and former FSU quarterback Chris Weinke.
"To my last breath, I will beg and plead for people to give money to this cause. We can't allow this to continue. I just learned today that we lost another in Dillon Simmons, a 14 year-old from Fort Myers. People have no idea how this affects families," Vitale said.

The City of Milwaukee and the Milwaukee Public Library faced some difficult budgetary choices for 2008. In order to preserve the most critical library services, purchase new and replacement materials, and support staffing levels to maintain library hours, a policy change affecting media holds requests has been initiated.
Holds requests have more than doubled since 2002, and have exceeded 500,000 in 2007. Of the growing number of holds requests received by the library, media requests represent a significant portion and require considerable staff time to locate and process. Staffing available to process these requests has not increased to meet the demand. The following change is necessary to meet City budget reduction targets, and will result in more popular media items becoming available for MPL customers.
Effective January 2, 2008:
The following media items owned by the Milwaukee Public Library will no longer be holdable:
1. All feature films and television programs on DVD and VHS
2. Music CDs in the young adult and adult collections
The following media items owned by the Milwaukee Public Library will continue to be holdable:
1. All non-fiction DVDs and videos classified as educational, informational and/or
2. All children's CDs
Other items such as books, audio books, and CD-ROMs will continue to be holdable.
However, the maximum number of all items that may be requested at any one time is now 20 per library card holder, down from 40.
A list of frequently asked questions has been prepared for your reference. Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please complete an online comment form.
Your patience and cooperation during this transition are appreciated, and we thank you for using your Milwaukee Public Library.

Cons: * Difficult to use on a desktop because of short wire length
Other: It's cheap, and it still works after years of use, so get one or two!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Excellent build quality and great sound quality. I have been using (and abusing) this Mic for 2 years now doing moto-vlogging (kary1982v6). This mic has been slammed in the modular part of my helmet over and over and over again and the only reason I bought more was because I have more helmets.. original one is still going strong.
Cons: none that I can find.. maybe use a drop of superglue to hold filter on a little better but that was really not a problem until after 2 years of use
Other: know what you are buying but for my uses, it is perfect!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: It's very useful to use it on calls with skype or other programs of voice calling, and it's perfect with a programs which can reduce the external noise. And what's more, you can configure it a lot with programs to transform your voice, and do some jokes with friends, or record video or audio files with pre-added effects.
Cons: If you move it many times, it can broke easily.
Other: If you want a microphone, and you are not used to break things often, buy it!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: -good price -feels like ok quality-might last for a while -just plug it in your computer and it works, anybody can do it
Cons: Bought this because I couldn't hear my girlfriend over Skype as well as I would like. Especially when she sat a little back. When she plugged in the microphone I could hear her even less!!! It works if you talk straight in the microphone from a close range, but it doesn't pick much sound from farther away.
Other: See remarks above, if this mic is for you! :)
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: This is a very simple plug in microphone. Holds its upright position in the laptop socket ok. Gold-plated connection. Small enough to fit easily in laptop case or pocket. Volume adequate. Much better than my built-in laptop mike. (Acer Aspire 5633) Very cheap.
Cons: Took over 3 weeks to arrive. Sound is slightly muffled and a bit tinny, with that bottom of a can swirly type echo, but not terrible.
Other: ok if you don't want to spend too much. It cost me €3.20, including postage from China.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: This is a very nice microphone, its a nice addon if you don't have a microphone on your laptop, it's very cheap and the quality of the sound that you record is very good!
Cons: No cons, it could be a bit longer but it is great the way it is. You can't use it for your normal computer, it really has to be a laptop. But when you buy this product i think you already see that.
Other: If you need a microphone for your laptop: BUY THIS. I use it allot, and it's great quality! I live in Holland and in the stores these microphones cost 20 euro I think.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: - Small - Twistable neck - Good reception - whoever I spoke with could hear very well, no complains at all - No wires to tangle
Cons: - Build is not so solid - The conector is standard, but is slips to the side, there should be some tip that helps holding it in place
Other: If your notebook has no built in mic, this is a cheap and good option
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: This product is truly worth it's money. The build quality of this product is surely above average and I can only recommand anyone who needs a microphone to get this one. The sound quality of the microphone is great. The flexabilty of this microphone can really come in handy.
Cons: The lenght could be a bit taller, but it works fine like this.
Other: This is a very nice product. I've bought several of these for friends and family. We're all happy with this microphone. I've been using this for skype and it works perfect!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: nice and small microphone, the type of micrphone you should use to laptops or EVEN voice recorders so they can record farther voices
Cons: the first con is that it can break easily if you don't really take care of it, it's too soft and you can't move it too much
Other: it' convinient for most of the people to buy one of these mics so that you can easily voice chat
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Works great, voip calls on my mothers notebook used to suck thanks to the built-in mic, which wouldn't catch the voice decently, this has fixed the problem Its small, quite discretive on the laptops side, and has a good recording volume
Cons: None really
Other: Cheap and does it job, if you have a laptop its better to have one of these than the regular cabled ones But i wouldnt recomend it for a desktop computer.

Crews Work To Restore Power After Severe Storms
Maintenance crews are working to restore power to multiple homes after severe weather swept through the state Wednesday evening, officials said Thursday.
The cold front produced a series of thunderstorms and tornadoes across several portions of Arkansas, leaving more than 10,000 residents without power. The outages were caused primarily by lightning and high winds that accompanied the storms, which subsided by Thursday morning.
Entergy Arkansas spokesman David Lewis says while the most severe damage took place in Van Buren county and surrounding areas, remaining outages are more common in other locations.
"As of now, we're down to just over 1,000 outages remaining," Lewis said. "Those are mostly in Union county, which is where El Dorado is, and the rest are just scattered here and there."
Authorities say all power should be restored by Thursday evening. A map of current outages can be found at EntergyArkansas.com.
Meanwhile Gov. Mike Beebe has declared 15 counties as disaster areas following strong storms across the state that included tornadoes and left five people injured.
Beebe also announced Thursday that he's released $10,000 from the Governor's Disaster Fund to help pay for the immediate costs of responding to the storms.
The declaration makes it easier for local governments to coordinate with the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management and other state agencies allows the local governments to better utilize Arkansas Department of Correction work crews to assist with debris removal.
The counties included in the declaration are Cleburne, Conway, Garland, Hot Spring, Independence, Izard, Lincoln, Montgomery, Polk, Sharp, Stone, Union, Van Buren, White, and Yell.

'Last Train to Nibroc' performed at MC Playhouse March 6-8
February 21, 2003
The production of Arlene Hutton's "Last Train to Nibroc" will be performed March 6-8 by the Maryville College Theatre Department.
Performances begin at 8 p.m. in the theatre of the Wilson Chapel/Theatre complex on the MC campus.
A comedy, "Last Train to Nibroc" is the story of an Appalachian wartime romance. Love blossoms between two southeastern Kentucky natives during December 1940 on a cross-country train carrying the coffins of two famous writers, Nathanael West and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
A portion of the story takes place in Corbin, Ky. At the time of the first read through, the MC cast and crew traveled to Corbin and visited some of the places mentioned in the play.
According to Dr. Terry Brino-Dean, visiting assistant professor of theatre and director of the MC production, the play was chosen because it had local resonance and gave students the opportunity to study the historical, cultural and social contexts of Appalachia during World War II.
Maryville College students, Scott King and Heidi Hansen, star in the roles of Raleigh and May.
Tickets are available at the door. Cost is $7.50 for adults; $5 for seniors, MC faculty and staff, theatre alumni and high school/college students. MC students are admitted free.
For additional information, Dr. Brino-Dean may be contacted at 865.981.8161.

As a musician when I play my songs to friends I want them to be loud. The problem is these days I'm usually playing music from my laptop, iPad or iPhone. I've used various little speaker systems in the past but the associated power cords and audio cable's are a hassle to truck around. I've had my eye on the Soundmatters foxLv2 Bluetooth speaker. It's a small portable speaker with Bluetooth and a rechargeable speaker and it has some rave reviews for it's sound. This week Jawbone released a similar speaker using the same exact audio technology and trumped up tech specs. The new Jambox also looks modern and comes in black, blue, red or gray. Besides louder music the Jambox is also a good speaker/mic for conference calls. It's $200… someone put one under my Christmas Tree ok?
"Meet JAMBOX by Jawbone the smallest, best-sounding wireless speaker and speakerphone on the planet. Just place it anywhere in a room to stream pristine wireless audio from any Bluetooth device. It's the perfect way to make those jams on your phone or iPad sound, well, awesome." – aliphjawbone

Every week, retailers unleash significant advertising and promotion efforts in the perpetual competition to engage shoppers, drive trips and grow sales.
With shoppers making fewer trips and impulse purchases, the need to influence them earlier and more frequently in the purchase decision-making cycle is critical for sales success. To accomplish this, consumer packaged goods (CPG) retailers and manufacturers are increasingly using cooperative advertising and promotion programs that target shoppers at home when they are most likely to be planning shopping trips and creating lists. As retailers, understanding what your competition is planning for in-home is just as essential to staying competitive as what's happening in-store.

US soldier guilty of Afghan abuse
A US soldier has been found guilty by a court martial in Kabul of assaulting prisoners in an American military base in Afghanistan's Uruzgan province.
Sgt Kevin D Myricks was found guilty of one count of conspiracy to maltreat and two counts of maltreatment, a US military statement said.
Myricks has been reduced in rank and sentenced to six months' detention.
On Saturday, another soldier, James Hayes, was sent to four months in prison for the same incident of abuse.
Human rights groups have often accused US forces of abusing Afghans held at detention centres in the country.
The US military says the detainees did not require medical attention as a result of the assault last July.
Myricks has been demoted to the rank of a private and he is being held in custody at Bagram airfield, the US led-coalition's headquarters in Afghanistan.
He will be transferred to Kuwait soon to serve his six-month sentence.
"The court martial and subsequent punishment in this case reflects the seriousness with which this command views this incident," Maj Gen Jason Kamiya, the coalition's operational commander, said in a statement.
"Incidents of this nature are not reflective of the standards adhered to by this command. We are fully committed to investigating all allegations... and will hold accountable those who are found to have acted inappropriately."
Myricks was assigned to Company C, 96th Engineer Battalion, when the incident took place last July.
A third soldier is also facing "non-judicial punishment for allegedly having knowledge of the abuse and not reporting it through the unit's chain of command", the US military has said.
The charges against the soldiers came in October, close on the heels of accusations that US forces had burned the bodies of Taleban fighters, an act considered sacrilege in Islam.
At least eight prisoners have died in US custody since 2001.
In September, a US military interrogator was sentenced to five months in prison for assaulting a detainee in Afghanistan who later died.
Five other US soldiers have been convicted following the deaths of two prisoners at the military base at Bagram, outside Kabul, in 2002.

I take a lot of stuff said by "human rights" groups with a pinch of salt. According to them, the UK routinely engages in "torture". What they mean is, we hold terrorism suspects without a lawyer. Boo hoo.
Most of these groups are anti-US anyway, so they can hardly be called impartial.

U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) CEO Rick Fedrizzi praised the job-creating infrastructure improvements proposed in the American Jobs Act, outlined by the president in a public address on Thursday.
"It is clear that we must rebuild and modernize our increasingly brittle built environment," said Fedrizzi, the founding chair of the USGBC, in a statement. The USGBC promotes more efficient buildings and construction methods.

As a monster tornado bore down on Tuscaloosa last week, residents of Greensburg, Kansas were preparing for a weekend of festivities commemorating their recovery from a 2007 tornado.
The May 4 twister that nearly blasted Greensburg off the map was rated an EF5. It turned 95 percent of the town's buildings to tinder and claimed 11 lives as it skidded across the western Kansas town.
Rebuilding the community of 800 has become a testament to how people can plunge in to a new way of living. While some residents left after the storm, many more have worked diligently to turn that dark event into an opportunity, constructing a new village made of sturdy, energy-efficient, sustainable homes that employ the latest technology.

Developers in California previewed today what they say will be the largest "Zero Net Energy development of its kind in the U.S.," showing off the first phase of a 130-acre community at the University of California at Davis.
The project will be home to apartments for more than 2,000 students, an education center, recreation and study facilities, as well as 343 homes to be sold to faculty and staff, and a scenic village square. A complex solar energy system created by SunPower, Inc., will supply all of the community's electricity, allowing West Village to meet its zero-impact goal.
"This is a demonstration of California's excellence in sustainability, and should set an example for the rest of the nation," said Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom, who toured the complex, called West Village. He was accompanied by UC Davis Chancellor Linda P. B. Katehi, Jim Pape, president of SunPower, and Nolan Zail, vice president of lead developer Carmel Partners.

Green-built homes are at risk of becoming less of a novelty. Today, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) announced that more than 10,000 homes in the U.S. have earned a LEED-for-Homes certification.
These homes, built to the green standards developed by the USGBC, range from multi-family to single family houses and appear in all price ranges, according to the USGBC.
"Reaching this milestone signifies the continued transformation of the home building industry towards high-performing, healthy homes that save home owners money," said Nate Kredich, vice president of Residential Market Development, U.S. Green Building Council.

Forgotten about green building during the economic swoon of the last two years? Rising energy costs and static incomes make it more important than ever as consumers look for added value and long-term energy savings.
Check out these top green residential projects from across the U.S., which demonstrate that green living is no longer just for the wealthy few.
Postgreen, a sustainable building and design company, wanted to address a demographic that was not being served in Philadelphia: Urban dwellers who want to live in a green property, but do not want to move to the suburbs or spend the money, typically $500,000 and up, for most builder's green creations.
So the team set out to build its inaugural projects, the $100K and $120K infill homes in the sleekest, greenest, low-waste designs they could muster, while resisting the "bells and whistles" that drive prices up. They wanted the 100K home to come in at a building cost under $100 per square foot, so they had to work extra hard at efficiencies in all aspects of construction. The result: Two two-story loft homes with two bedrooms each priced at between $200,000 and $250,000, both on commute-free city lots, walking distance to subway and bus stops.

New York City's hallmark Empire State Building, which is undergoing a major green remodeling, will now become the city's biggest commercial buyer of renewable energy. The skyscraper's owners have signed a two-year contract with Green Mountain Energy, which will supply the facility with 100 percent green power by buying Renewable Energy Certificates.

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) announced a new "LEED for Neighborhood Development" rating system today that aims to reward communities that try to reduce urban sprawl, increase walkability and transportation options, and decrease automobile dependence.
The new certification, developed with the Congress for the New Urbanism and the Natural Resources Defense Council, hopes to encourage development within or near existing communities and public infrastructure to reduce the impact of sprawl. It is the seventh rating system for the USGBC, which certifies residential, commercial and other properties based on their environmental footprint.

North Carolina could benefit economically and add nearly 40,000 new jobs over the next 15 years if it follows a greener development path, according to a new study by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.
The ACEEE's study looked at how North Carolina, one of the fastest growing states in the nation, could benefit from enacting policies that promote energy and water efficiency and that "lock in" energy savings by building energy-smart buildings and creating eco-friendly communities.
The analysis by the non-profit ACEEE found that:

When Ric Richards recently acquired an aging McDonalds in Cary, N.C., he knew the place needed an overhaul. The 25-year-old store was fraying at the edges.
Richards decided to give these particular golden arches a green touch.
Once he'd decided that the building needed replacing, the decision to go eco-friendly was not difficult. Richards knew it made sense from a business standpoint – it would cut energy costs dramatically – and he figured it would resonate with the educated customers living in the Research Triangle region, especially those interested in lower-carbon living.

If you had the money and connections, you could build a snappy green house these days. Sink a geothermal heat pump to tap Mother Earth's energy, slap up some solar panels, finish it out with non-toxic drywall, cork floors, denim insulation, recycled glass countertops and floors made from sunken ship decking.
But does a green house a green home make? The answer to that is….of course not. Green builders, and those who live in green houses, soon bump up against what some land planners have known all along: It takes a village to bring green to its fullest expression.

The City of Hudson Oaks has begun offering weekly curbside recycling services to residents, City Administrator Sheri Campbell-Husband announced recently.
The new service will increase the residential monthly collection rate by 46 cents per month, from $13.82 to $14.28, for all the city's residential solid waste customers, regardless of participation.
The fee increase will also pay for twice weekly collection of two cubic yards of cut and bundled brush and bulky waste, doubling the amount that could be disposed of previously, but eliminating the monthly Saturday pickups for unbundled brush.
Unbundled brush and bulky items will be handled through semi-annual clean-up events from now on, Campbell-Husband said, with a $3.33 charge added to all trash bills in the months the events are held.
The first clean-up event will probably be scheduled this fall, she said.
The new services will be funded entirely by the fees that residents pay, Campbell-Husband said, with no additional funds from the city.
She attributed the low cost of the program to the bargaining power of the six East Parker County cities, who negotiated with the vendor, Republic Services, as one entity.
"We were able to get economies of scale," she explained. "Not all the cities are choosing to add this, but they all have the choice to add it in."
Campbell-Husband credited the mayors of the six cities for initiating the new program, saying that city leaders have long discussed the need to regionalize some services.
The collaboration went more smoothly than anticipated, she said, perhaps because the cities selected a three member team and a single attorney to conduct the negotiations.
Residents have been asking for curbside recycling for the past three or four years, Campbell-Husband said, and one of the program's features makes it especially convenient.
That feature is called single streaming, which means putting all the recyclables in the carts together, with no separation.
"We think our participation rate is going to be high," she said.
For more information on the program go online at www.hudsonoaks.com or call city hall at 682-229-2400 or Republic Services at 800-644-3961.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) - The Federal Reserve's asset purchase program, known as quantitative easing, is providing a "much needed boost" to the economy and will be required well into the second half of the year, said John Williams, the president of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank on Thursday. Minutes of the Fed's February meeting released Wednesday suggest growing anxiety about the costs of asset purchases and doubts about its effectiveness among some top Fed officials, but Williams does not mention either concern. "We need powerful and continuing monetary accommodation," Williams said. "Unemployment is far too high and inflation is too low," he said. Williams was optimistic about the economy, saying he was hopeful it was close to shaking off its doldrums.

Hi there!
I got hold of a pair of 6x9" speakers a few days ago and now I plan on putting them into boxes to be used in my study.
Which type of enclosure should I be looking at? Usually the comments are pretty mixed when it comes to ported vs sealed, and especially for these type of speakers. I realise that 6x9" aren't really for home use but hey, I got them really cheap, have everything else set-up, just need a few enclosure designs.
For those of you who like detail:
* 2X 6x9" VR3 (Virtual Reality Sound Labs) RS900 3-way speakers
* Polypropylene sprayed paper cones
* 20oz Magnets +-10%
* Foam rubber surrounds
* 400 Watts Instantaneous Peak power
* 80 Watts RMS
* Mylar Midrange speakers/tweeters
* 50Hz-20,000Hz
* StarSound 2x200 Watt Amp Built-in Xover
* PC acting as EQ/tuner
* 2x Computer desktop stereo speakers
Goal: To get as much bass out of them as possible , and clean all round sound.
Again, 6x9" are primarily used for rear fill in a car, and for midbass. But I just want to see how I can get the most out of these guys in a home setup. When I bought them (for roughly $11 brand new sealed in a box), I didn't actually think about enclosures. My mind was kinda made up with "pretty big sealed boxes and see how it goes".
When I started doing some research, I read about some folks putting them into ported boxes, tall "tower" boxes etc etc. Sealed boxes are pretty easy but some dimensions would be nice from you guys. Ported boxes I think are pretty tough to build due to the high qts of the speakers and no idea what their T/S parameters are. I read ported boxed 6x9"s can reach somewhat lower frequencies but how low should one go, or try to go? 40hz?
So far I'm thinking sealed enclosure : H 12" W 10" L 12"
Any ideas??
Thanx for reading!

Hi from Germany to all of you..
I just bought the PolkMomo MM 120-sub. Right now I'm wondering what enclosure sounds best. Sealed or ported? I read the instructions on the polksite, but I am not quite satisfied yet.
Has anyone a link where it's written down how to build an enclosure step by step? It's the first time for me trying to set up an enclosure, so help is more than needed
Over here in Germany I've seen enclosures already build up especially for the MM 120. Can you recommend them?
For every kind of help I am thankful,

Officials with Scambook, an online complaint resolution platform, are warning consumers to be wary of dodgy "change of address" websites that charge hidden fees.
The various scammers in this particular tier are taking advantage of the fact that many people move during summer months by offering a variety of these truly unnecessary "change of address" services, according to a Scambook alert.
"Third party companies claiming to represent the US Postal Service are offering to help consumers register a new residential address, resulting in unexpected monthly charges averaging $17 to $24," the alert explains.
Information about this problem was circulated on behalf of Scambook by representatives of the PMBC Group, a public relations firm based in Los Angeles.
Scambook has received over 300 complaints about such sites from consumers across the United States, including – in addition to Texas – Florida, California, Arizona, Oregon, and even Washington state.
Scammed individuals are receiving an initial processing charge of $1 – in addition to those unwarranted monthly charges for services they did not realize they had purchased.
Additionally, many customers have reported difficulty contacting the sites' customer service departments to cancel these unwanted subscriptions.
Scambook recommends the following steps be taken to avoid this problem:
• Use only the official United States Postal Service change of address site by visiting https://movers-guide.usps.com.
• Understand that the USPS change of address process requires a $1 verification fee, but no monthly charges or subscription services.
• Read all of the fine print and terms of service very carefully before committing to a transaction to avoid hidden fees.
• Contact all banking institutions, existing subscriptions and other bill collecting services to inform them of the new address directly.

Jon De La Rosa is Armed and Dangerous
Jon Delarosa is Armed and Dangerous
New York is known for a very loud and intense audience. The crowds there are tough and the standards are high— and if you're a bodybuilder who comes from New York, you'd better be ready to kick some major ass onstage. Jon Delarosa can handle that. He was born in Washington Heights, NY (the same town as the Dominican Dominator, Victor Martinez) and currently lives in Scarsdale, NY. Jon is one of the most aesthetically pleasing pros to come along in years, a rare blend of mass and symmetry at a contest weight of 230. And it sure as hell hasn't come easy for Jon— he won the Overall and first place in the Heavyweights at the 2011 NPC USA Championships while working a regular job as an elevator mechanic.
When Jon steps on stage at the NY Pro on May 17, he will be armed and dangerous. You can't expect to make it in NY with anything less then a set of cannons under your sleeves! Do you want to build you own set of NY Guns? Then give Jon's arm workout a try:

I just bought a house that was built in the 40's and the previous owner apparently didn't like the kitchen cabinet doors so she took them off. The hinges are nowhere to be found. I bought new hinges for them and they make the doors not fit. It looks like the inset is 7/16" instead of 3/8". Is there a store that would carry hinges that don't comply with modern standard sizes?
Is it the reach or the depth that is giving you a problem?
The reach I guess. The hinges cause the door to be too wide for the opening.
3/8 was the standard on the old ones too. Cutting the doors to fit again may be your onely hope. Have the doors been painted a few times?

Planning for the now legendary March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom of August 28, 1963 began the previous year. African American organizations such as the Negro American Labor Council (NALC), Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) began preparations for a large scale march for political and economic justice. By the summer 1963 the list of participating and sponsoring organizations expanded to include the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the National Urban League, the National Catholic Conference for Interracial Justice, the National Council of the Churches of Christ in America, the United Auto Workers (UAW), and others.
The stated goals of the protest included:
- a comprehensive civil rights bill" that would do away with segregated public accommodations
- "protection of the right to vote"
- mechanisms for seeking redress of violations of constitutional rights
- "desegregation of all public schools in 1963"
- a massive federal works program "to train and place unemployed workers"
- and "a Federal Fair Employment Practices Act barring discrimination in all employment."
