Me and my friends devouring some pizza in Jerusalem while southern Israel is barraged with rockets and Gaza suffers from Israeli air strikes.
Ironically the operation has been named Amud Anan (pillar of cloud) - an biblical illusion to the wandering Jews in the dessert who were surrounded by a protective pillar of cloud during the day and a pillar of fire at night. I assume the name was supposed to assure us that we are being protected, but since this operation has started I have felt just the opposite.
A Bad Situation on Both Sides
When it began I thought I would be fine. After all, I am located in Jerusalem - a city that has not been hit since 1970 and is respected as holy by all three major religions. There is a large Muslim population and rockets with poor aim do not discriminate. However, as shabbat started this past Friday evening we heard the siren go off in Jerusalem indicating a rocket was headed our way. It landed in open space in the Gush (south of Jerusalem) and no one was hurt, but it was a sign that Hamas is willing to take this to a much further level than expected.
For the past four days, the Tel Aviv area has heard warning sirens. Luckily the Israeli government deployed the fifth Iron dome battery there on Saturday and it has been successfully intercepting the rockets. Most of the Israelis feeling the impact of this are the same ones that have been dealing with it for years - the residents of the south. These people deal with hundreds of rockets daily and cannot go to school or work. So far only three deaths on the Israeli side (also with thanks to the Iron Dome, and poor aim) but the impact it takes on their daily lives and emotions is certainly not easy.
And then there is Gaza, a tiny strip of land densely populated with 1.7 million people in 140 sq. miles who's lives have not been easy for years. There is an unemployment rate of 28% (58% among young people) and 50% of the population is under 18 years of age. 1 in 5 of these children suffers from PTSD. 39% of inhabitants live below the poverty line. Meanwhile, Israel controls everything going in an out of Gaza - airspace, borders, and territorial waters. While Israel used to have its own citizens residing in the strip, it unilaterally disengaged in 2005. The governing body is Gaza since 2006 is Hamas, an organization considered as terrorist by most of the Western world. They have been responsible for many terrorist attacks on Israel and most recently all of the rocket attacks that the south has been facing. The Palestinians view it as resistance due to the illegal siege on Gaza's borders. The Israeli's view it as continued terrorism and a further reason to maintain the siege. Already in this operation their have been a lot more civilian casualties on the Palestinian side, bringing back the devastating memories of Operation Cast Lead, but the Israeli government will note that unlike Hamas, they never actually target the civilians. However, the Israeli army must remember that their capabilities far outweigh Hamas's and unlike Israeli civilians, these people do not benefit from the wonders of the Iron Dome.
Who's fault is it?
As most of you know, I'm a liberal Jew often situated in the lonely peace camp here in Israel. I didn't choose this war, but I'm not sure its wrong either. When people ask who started it, the situation is so complex and has been going on for so long its truly hard to say. But one thing I can note is that I feel like I'm one of the only people that is even trying to understand both sides of this mess and that can get very frustrating. And I know for sure is that if we are ever going to find this elusive peace, understanding each other is a must.
As the world is looking to put an end to this as soon as possible with a ceasefire, they seem to fail to understand that while this situation has exacerbated in the past few days, that is not where it began. And as someone who feels very caught in the middle, I unfortunately think our mistakes were made much earlier and lie far deeper than this specific skirmish. The further this conflict goes on, the more extreme we are becoming on both sides. The Palestinians elected Hamas in Gaza who do not appear to be at all interested in making peace with Israel but are rather much more interested in killing us - and not just because of the siege. But the siege is a problem for sure - I mean seriously, would you want to live under siege of a foreign enemy power? But that was a mistake since 2005 when Israel unilaterally disengaged. Didn't they think it might of been a good idea to talk to them first so we could get something out of this? Controlling the borders is seen as necessary for security reasons which I can't deny, but that is because we left without talking to them first. And as long as the siege goes on, we can only expect them to become more extreme and more angry at us.
And Israel elected a right wing coalition who claims to want peace but never acts on it. A few weeks ago Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority (governing body in the West Bank) was interviewed on Israel's channel 2. He spoke of the state of Palestine only within 1967 borders, specifically noting that even though he was orignially from Safed (an Israeli city in the north) he does not have a right to go back and live there. His words were so moderate that Many Palestinians in Gaza were burning pictures of him in opposition. Netanyahu ignored his olive branch.
I don't see these leaders as people who will be able to find common ground and that is frustrating. But the civilians need to consider these things when they elect their governing bodies. In democracies, everyone can take fault because everyone has a say.
The only solution I can see working
And as this goes on, here I am sitting in my peace camp attempting to enlist in the Israeli army (As of now I'm enlisting in April but I'm trying to get them to let me in earlier). And it's not because I like guns or think war is cool, but because I want to make a difference in this country and unfortunately that is the only way to fully integrate so that my opinion will matter.
I know we all say we want peace but sometimes people feel like its so impossible that they forget they have to work toward it. As this bloody operation wages on I just hope that the result will be the realization of the need for peace. This is not a way for us to continue on either side and our respective electorates need to consider not just the short term, but the bigger picture. So as you sit at your computers finding meme's to wage your one-sided nationalistic social media war that likely is preaching to the choir, take a few minutes to look at the other side's memes just to see what they are feeling. We didn't choose this war but maybe we can prevent it from happening again.

Ashton Kutcher & Mila Kunis Spending The Holidays In Iowa
Just a day after filing for divorce from Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher was spotted with Mila Kunis in Iowa.
According to People, Ashton and Mila will be spending the holidays in the "Two and a Half Men" star's hometown of Cedar Rapids.
The former "That 70s Show" co-stars were spotted enjoying a sweet treat at Fruitzen Frozen Yogurt on Saturday night, in Cedar Rapids, where Ashton ordered peach yogurt and Mila had orange sorbet.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, the 34-year-old actor cited irreconcilable differences for his split from Demi, 50. They were married for 6 years.
Ashton and Mila began dating this fall.

Earlier this month TSN reported that the Federal Government has been applying pressure to the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) to direct attention and resources towards drug testing Canadian athletes who are representing Canada while competing at international events.
Over the past few days, social media, print stories, and the news have extensively covered the recent suicide of Robin Williams, one of Hollywood's most treasured comic actors. As a result, the spotlight has turned to facts around mental illness and the devastating effects of addiction and depression when left unmanaged.
The oil and gas rich province of Alberta was responsible for all of Canada's net employment growth over the past 12 months, adding 81,800 jobs while the rest of Canada lost 9,500. Alberta's immense growth is attracting tens of thousands of young workers to the area on the employment hunt which is quickly becoming the country's highest paying salaries.
The federal government recently announced long-anticipated reforms to the Temporary Foreign Worker (TFW) program. The revamped program will bar employers from hiring foreign workers in regions where unemployment is high.
I had the opportunity to attend the Alberta Occupational Health Nurses Association (AOHNA) conference in Banff last month. This was an opportunity for several different disciplines to come together to share and learn about many aspects that could affect the health and well-being of workers, employers, and our communities as a whole.
The Mustard Seed - "Volunteers are the heartbeat of our The Mustard Seed's ministry! Without the commitment of more than 250 regular volunteers who offer their time, talents, and passion, The Mustard Seed would not be able to offer the same level of assistance to people experiencing homelessness."
On Tuesday, June 10th Kyle Powell, CEO of SureHire Occupational Testing was asked to be the guest speaker for the PCA Executive Lunch 'n' Learn. Understanding the connection employee health has on productivity is extremely important for construction companies today.
Health is not just defined in terms of blood pressure and cholesterol. The health of a person is all encompassing, and includes the mind, body, and spirit of the individual.
I had the pleasure of listening to Barb Banford speak at the AOHNA Symposium last week. She is as funny as she is intelligent, and put into perspective how the normal physiological and mental changes we experience can have an impact on the workplace.
Illicit drugs are not the only substances that can affect health and safety in workplaces .The use of medical marijuana is on the rise and more than likely making its way into your workplace which can present a challenge for both safety sensitive and non-safety sensitive work environments.

Comments about Mavala Ridge Filler:
I'd read several places about Mavala Ridge Filler; apparently it's popular among nail enthusiasts. The bottle is small to ensure the product stays fresh, so for the size, it's a little expensive at regular price. However, this is the best product I've found so far to fill my deep ridges. If you have really deep ridges like me, you'll need to buff your nails a little before applying a layer or two of this. It has a faint pink color to it, so it can be used on its own, with maybe just a layer of clear polish or top coat over it. If you add some white to your tips, you have a French manicure. Glad this company doesn't test on animals!

Dear Fellow Travelers,
Give us suggestions. Are we on the right track? What would you like to see? Keep it clean! We hope you've found this information useful. Help us get the word out.
Do send us any industrial action that your participating in either intentional or accidental! Your feed back is vital to us. Particularly what we've missed! We love a good correction. Keep sending your articles in.
To our critics, our readers just want to know what to expect, no more, no less. When holidaymaker's go on vacation they have little tolerance for hanging out in ports, airports, train stations and incurring extra costs with hotels and alternative transportation. They just want to sit on the beach with the kids and support your economy. No vendetta here.
Viewer called us the drudge of travel, very witty... We wish.
Another viewer "not exactly drop dead gorgeous, but gets the point across" and another "A really useful site (though guaranteed to give you a few sleepless nights!!!). Will definitely check regularly on this one".
Jeez, thanks..
Another viewer
I appreciate what you are doing and I agree totally with your sentiment.
I am an international traveler for business on average one international trip a week, all year long.(maybe more lately).
I have been extremely inconvenienced like yourselves. I have slept on the floor in Narita airport, I have been treated as an animal in a mob of passengers at Milan Malpensa, and scrambled for an emergency place to
stay near JFK, etc, etc.
Can't you just feel this passengers pain.
From Karen:-I just want to thank you for the warning...unfortunately, I did not heed it, and my husband and I, traveling from Nice to Savona, Italy, were kicked off the train at the last stop in France, Menton, along with 3 others, with no prior warning of any troubles ahead. There WAS a strike in Italy, and we had to catch a cruise that evening, so ended up splurging on a taxi to Savona. But this is a great website...keep up the good work!! We went to the Nice train station to buy tickets a couple of days before we planned to travel to Savona, and I even asked at that time if there was any word of a strike in Italy. The man looked at me and said in a very disinterested manner, "We do not know about Italy. We sell French tickets.". Well, OK then!!
Our table mates on the ship had a flight cancellation on Iberia for their return, which was to be on Easter Sunday. They ended up leaving the ship early, in Marseille, in order to get home. Too bad....
Do you have a particular app that you can't live without?
Why do we leave this up you ask? Because travel agents, insurance companies and passengers refer to it.
We get emails on a regular basis asking did this strike really happen or I need proof it happened?

Aerolíneas Argentinas pilots looking for a 35% pay raise and some elimination of some taxes. Pilot contract ends September. Pilots gross salaries nearly $11,000 a month. Co-pilots earnings are considerable less $2,400 per month.
(My opinion only. Do yourself a big favor choose another airline, till a new contract is signed, which could take months in this economy. You will be stung, possibly, Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year.

Remember all Italian strikes are subject to change at the last minute! You will not be abandoned, by law a skeleton schedule must run. Book a strike proof train.
Left up so you can get a general idea of how different areas handled the general strike. Of course this is only an example. (We've noticed a new trend lately by Italian railway/transport worker unions. They don't seem to like the predictability of the below and have now started causing a slightly more irritating stance. Where each city chooses when they will strike, no more in unisom. Can be as far out as a week from original date. We will conquer this.)

From Dee
We found your fantastic site two weeks after leaving our luggage at Brussels airport due to the May, 2013 'industrial action'. Along with 78,000 other pieces of luggage, our 2 were eventually returned, once we were home, four weeks later. We were not informed of the 'industrial action' when we checked in in Rome, thank you Brussels Airlines. So we, experienced travellers of 30+ years, learned the hard way that we have to inform ourselves. And your site is excellent. We have sent it to many, many people. Keep up the fantastic work! - Sincerely, thankful Canadians

EL PASO — Fifty-five years in prison. That's how long an El Paso man will be spending behind bars.
A jury found Hector Tellez guilty on two counts of intoxication manslaughter and one count of aggravated assault. A collective $30,000 was also called for in the sentence.
A jury came to the decision just moments ago at the 384th District Court. It took the jury about three hours to decide Hector Tellez's punishment. The decision came a hours after tearful testimony from Tellez's family.
Hector Tellez himself can be seen shedding a tear while his family members testified on his behalf. He even broke down at the stand himself. Family members say Tellez has been despondent and suicidal since the accident.
Tellez was found guilty for killing two teens who were helping a friend on the side of the road. Tellez drove drunk and hit Aaron Carrillo and Jonathon Cervoni, and injured Mark Dobbs.
Tellez' test results from that night revealed a blood alcohol level almost 3 times the legal limit. He had heroine in his system, according to reports of the investigation.
Tellez also faces deportation. When he took the stand he says he'll find out if he will be deported in May.

A Hadoop Week in Review
With Hadoop Summit taking place earlier this week, the amount of news and announcements related to the Hadoop ecosystem was impressive and after a busy week I had quite a bit of hard time figuring out the most interesting bits:
- Hortonworks announced Hortonworks Data Platform 1.0 with an interesting approach for high-availability.
- VMWare announced Project Serengeti for virtualization-friendly Hadoop. It's open source and VMWare collaborates with all major Hadoop players (Cloudera, Hortonworks, MapR) to make it work.
- Some information about pricing for Hadoop support from Cloudera, Hortonworks, and MapR
- Amazon announced support for MapR Hadoop distribution on Amazon Elastic MapReduce
- Hive creators, previously at Facebook announce Qubole: a new on-demand Hadoop service
If some other news or announcements caught your attention this week, leave a comment or drop me a line.

The price Google charges advertisers when users click on ads dropped for the second quarter in a row in the three months to March, providing advertisers with a better return on investment for their search marketing, the company says.
Cost per click (CPC) on Google dropped 6% on the previous quarter and decreased 12% year on year.
Google attributed the decrease to foreign exchange rates and the growth of cheaper mobile and tablet search advertising.
Earlier this week Adobe predicted that total search spend on mobile and tablets could reach up to 15 to 20% of all search spend by the end of the year in the UK.
Larry Page, Google CEO, said to analysts today (13 April): "If anything, lower CPCs give better return on advertising spend: it's a lower cost so a better return on investment for advertisers."
Google maintained that despite the drop in the value of its CPC, it had another "great quarter", with revenues up 24% year on year to $10.65bn (£6.7bn) in the period. Profit rose 60% to $2.89bn (£1.8bn).
Revenue from the UK totalled $1.15bn (£721m), representing 11% of Google's total revenue in the quarter.

Tue, 6 Mar 2012
For a number of years we have had a strategy of bidding for lower positions in Google to reduce our cost per click!
Aiming for position 3-6 often avoids the bidding war of bigger brands or agencies obsessed with top 3 positions irrespective of the effect this has on the cost per acquisition (CPA).
We believe that as clients become more savvy they discourage their staff or agencies for bidding for top and focus more on the actual CPA and ROI.
If you understand how Google charges and especially the importance of Quality Score and CPA, you should be able to generate 5-10 times your ad spend in sales revenue.
Any reduction in cost per click and minimizing bidding wars is great for everyone (except Google?)
cheers Ann

X Factor winner to release Damien Rice's 'Cannonball'?
X Factor winner to release Damien Rice's 'Cannonball'?
After much speculation about what this year's X Factor winner will release as their first single, British tabloid The Sun have reported that the remaining acts have all recorded a cover of Damien Rice's 2004 single 'Cannonball'.
The paper claims that all four remaining contestants in the competition have recorded a version of Cannonball, and that it's one of three tracks being considered for release. A source said: "The acts are still recording the different options but Cannonball has a good shot. After reworking Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah for Alexandra Burke then Biffy's track Many Of Horror for Matt last year, it's the next step."
The four remaining X Factor acts - Marcus Collins, Amelia Lily, Misha B and Little Mix - will be whittled down to two by the final on December 11, and the last two performances of the series are traditionally renditions of the track picked for the single.
Damien Rice's song peaked at Number 19 in the charts when it was released as a single in 2004, but has been in constant use ever since on television and in film.
Who do you think is best suited to release a rendition of Cannonball?

One of the best, and only, portrayals of a truly genderqueer teen. The book itself isn't all that great, but it's worth reading just for that.

Going out? Grab the 'anywhere bag'
Whether you're out for the day or gone for a week, these 10 easy-to-get items can save you aggravation -- and money.
I'm one of those people you can always ask for ibuprofen, safety pins, a tissue or sunscreen. While riding the bus I've handed adhesive bandages to the moms of hysterical children with minor injuries. My day pack routinely contains an elastic bandage -- honest.
That's why I clicked immediately with Trae Bodge's idea for the "anywhere bag." Originally she called it the "parent survival kit," but soon realized the concept works both for parents and the child-free: Anywhere you are, certain things come in handy.
"It's smart to be prepared for just about anything," says Bodge, a senior writer at RetailMeNot's blog, The Insider.
Whether you're hauling kids from pillar to post or heading for a single person's getaway, the anywhere bag can save you a ton of aggravation -- and money.
Having to buy first-aid supplies from the first (or only) available place is not frugal. When errands take longer than you thought, a granola bar from the bag will keep you from dropping $5 on coffee and a cookie. An allergy attack or a lost button can turn a good day into a stinker.
The anywhere bag lets you cope.
The liquids
Start with a gallon-size zip-top bag, which is easy to pull from a backpack or out from under an auto seat. Worst-case scenario: The bag becomes an ice pack for a sprain or bee sting, or transports a child's wet or dirty clothing.
Put these items in the bag:
1. Sunscreen. Fill a tiny container (repurposed shampoo sample bottle, maybe?) from the large bottle that you bought with a sale price/coupon combo. CouponMom.com will match the sales to the cents-off for you for free. Note: Many of the items below can also be bought on sale with coupons. But you've probably already got some or all of them.
2. Insect repellent. Don't let the bad bugs bite. Incidentally, it's possible to buy repellent/sunscreen combos. Find the best deals with a price comparison website such as Nextag or PriceGrabber.
3. Wet wipes. These are useful for both adult and child cleanup issues.
5. First-aid kit. Put some adhesive bandages and the smallest tube of anti-bacterial ointment you can find into a little container or sandwich bag. If traveling, throw in a few tablets of over-the-counter allergy, anti-diarrheal and cold meds, all bought on sale with coupons if possible. (Make sure the backs of the blister-packs clearly identify which med is which.)
The solids
6. Tissues. Fold some up inside a sandwich bag.
7. Pad and pen. Cut old computer printouts into 3- by 5-inch pieces and staple at the top. You'll be able to play hangman with Junior while waiting for a tow truck. (Nothing drains a smartphone battery like a few rounds of Angry Birds.)
- Bing: Who invented hangman?
8. Snacks. Ever spend an hour in traffic with hungry kids in the back seat? With sales and coupons I've paid as little as 1 to 5 cents apiece for granola bars. Or fill small bags with nuts or fruit from larger containers bought at a restaurant supply store or an ethnic market. (Read "Warehouse shopping without the fees" and "Ethnic markets can save you money.")
9. Sewing kit. Look at the fabric stores that put 50%-off coupons in their Sunday ads. Or thread a couple of needles, wind the thread around them, stick the tips into a scrap of cork or foam and put them into a little container or sandwich bag along with a few safety pins.
10. Money. This idea's from me. Cash-only establishments do still exist, so carry at least $20 in emergency quarters, ones and fives in a sandwich bag. Tell your kids the sound of the ice-cream truck is not an emergency. Prepare to repeat that lesson as needed.
Readers: Do you have an anywhere bag? What's in it?
More on MSN Money:
I keep an anywhere bag in my desk drawer. I figure I spend 9-11 hours a day here at the office and I want to be as comfortable as possible. In one bag is floss (coupon), a mini sewing kit (free), a nail clipper set (also free), an extra emory board, a scrunchie (for weekend in office projects), Gas X (free sample in the mail), bandaids (coupon), etc. In a separate bag I keep feminine supplies (always bought with a coupon).
With the ideas above, I'm going to tuck a mini go anywhere bag in my purse. :)

-- Robert Preidt
MONDAY, Aug. 2 (HealthDay News) -- Factors that increase the
risk of severe myopia (nearsightedness) and related vision loss
have now been discovered by researchers, and the findings may lead
to improved screening and treatment of people with the eye
Japanese researchers followed 429 patients with severe myopia
for an average of 12 years and found that a condition called myopic
maculopathy became significantly worse in 40 percent of the study
Among these patients, the types and patterns of abnormalities
that developed in the macula (the part of the eye that provides
clear, detailed vision) influenced the extent to which vision was
affected, the study authors explained in a news release from the
American Academy of Ophthalmology.
The study is the first to specifically describe the association
between disease pattern and vision loss. This knowledge could help
eye specialists identify which patients require the closest
monitoring, and help offer them the most appropriate treatments,
the researchers noted.
"Our findings suggest that a patient's age, degree of nearsightedness, eye (axial) length and a specific abnormal bulging of the back surface of the eye (a posterior staphyloma) may be important factors that affect the severity of myopic maculopathy," noted Dr. Kyoko Ohno-Matsui, of the Tokyo Medical and Dental University, and colleagues. "Also, our results show that in eyes that are likely to progress to serious disease, the first observable sign may be a tessellated fundus (a specific abnormality in the macula)."

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The Powerball jackpot is above $200 million for the second time this year.
It's at $216 million for Saturday, after nobody won the top prize Wednesday night.
One ticket from Wisconsin won $10,000 by matching four regular numbers plus the Powerball. Just over 16,500 Wisconsin players won smaller prizes.
Wednesday night's numbers were 5, 9, 28, 32, and 38. The Powerball was 29.
The cash option for Saturday is about $133 million for a single winner who takes the whole prize now instead of in 30 annual installments.
In Mega Millions, the jackpot is back at the minimum of $12 million for Friday night.

UNOSAT analysis tells story of devastation in South Sudan city
24 March 2014, Geneva, Switzerland - Malakal is the capital of Upper Nile State, in South Sudan's north-eastern corner. The town lies approximately 650 km directly north of Juba, the capital of South Sudan. It hosts one of the bases of the UN Mission in South Soudan (UNMISS). According to UNOSAT latest findings, over 20% of Malakal has been destroyed by warfare with a great part of it occurring in a short time period between end February and mid-March 2014.
In a recent map derived from imagery captured by DigitalGlobe satellite WorldView-1 on 15 March, UNOSAT identified a total of 9,878 destroyed residential and related structures and a total of 204 destroyed warehouse or commercial structures, spread throughout the area visible in the image. A previous UNOSAT analysis using an image from 18 January 2014 had shown 573 destroyed structures. This indicates "a massive increase in the level of damage" in the period February-March 2014, says UNOSAT. The damage is widely spread across town but the heaviest destruction was found in the eastern and southern areas. The 15 March satellite image shows also active fires and fortifications with indications of military activity.
The UN Mission compound in Malakal had been already threatened in February by fighting in the town. The UNMISS base hosts and protects over 20,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs). UNOSAT has helped keeping track of the evolution of the IDP concentration at the base and had issued a map on 18 February that clearly showed how the IDP camp within the base had increased over time to cover an extent of 11.1 acres.
OCHA reports indicate that "the thousands of people transiting in Malakal represent only a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of South Sudanese who have been displaced since fighting began on 15 December 2013".
In this video, UN Emergency Relief Coordiantor Valerie Amos makes remarks on the situation in Malakal after her visit on the ground.

text: ELKHART LAKE, WI (WHBL) - An 8 year old child staying with his grandparents was injured Thursday night when he was hit by falling power lines after a car careened into the yard and took down a nearby power pole. The Sheriff's Department said it happened around 8:30 at a home on County EH, northeast of Elkhart Lake. Lt. Mark Rupnik said 8 year old Malachi Blanke, of Manitowoc, was airlifted to Children's Hospital in Milwaukee. Rupnik said the 1966 Corvette was being driven east on EH by 64 year old John Krizensky, of the Elkhart Lake area, when he lost control and the car drove through the ditch, hitting a sign and a power pole, coming to rest against a parked vehicle. A spokesperson for the hospital said this morning Blanke was in serious condition. Authorities said alcohol is believed to be a factor in the accident.

The City of Charlotte is calling it a win win.
The Tanger Outlet cleared another hurdle, after getting the Green Light from the Economic Development Committee.
What this means is they pay for road construction and infrastructure improvements, and are reimbursed by city and country tax dollars after the project is completed.
900 new jobs and another 200 construction jobs are expected.
With a city council known for its recent divisiveness, everyone was on the same page when it came to approving the financial package.
Brad Richardson from the City of Charlotte gave the project a thumbs up.
"It would be recommended that the council authorize the city of charlotte execute this infrastructure agreement," he said.
Moments after taking the financial incentives from the city and running from the meeting, the developers were sparse in their words, especially when it came to the issue of environmental impact.
Jeff Brown is the attorney representing the developers.
He said, "We're continuing to work with staff and others on that."
Brown's Cove in Southwest Charlotte, and residents say when new development is built runoff and debris fills this part of Lake Wylie.
Sam Perkins is the Director of Technical Programs with the Catawba River Keeper.
"The key is holding them accountable to clean up their property and entered someone else's property," He said.
Residents of the cove say flooding has been an issue, and developers are promising monitoring stations like these, but will they provide enough warning.
The cove is in Lawana Mayfield's district.
She said, "As soon as I was notified we started having conversations not only with staff, but conversations with the developers and they have instituted additional measures.
Ground be broken in July near I-485 and Steele Creek Raod and the outlet could open by the summer of 2014.

Help!? Can a Council reverse a decision it has already reversed?
I recently contested a PCN issued by Weymouth Council for parking my Bike outside my flat & won! Woo Hoo right!! :-) Well I Wasn't suprised by this because I had a Valid Parking Permit clearly displayed in a holder attatched to the helmet hook which they are aware of because they gave me a ticket last year & I returned there photographic evidence back to them, circling the White permit standing out like a sore thumb against the Red of my Beautiful Bike. However in a letter explaining the cancellation this time they stated that 'due to the administration costs involved in issuing a PCN, it is unlikely a similar charge will be cancelled in the future'. I'm confused because I don't see how it is fair to say a future charge cannot be cancelled even if a Permit is clearly displayed & the charge is issued in error! Well foolishly I asked the Council to Clarify there reasoning on this because I don't wanna be fearful of parking outside my own flat & getting a fine because a parking official doesn't see my permit (how they can't I don't understand... it's not hiding) anyway you know what there answer was?? To Cancel there Cancellation & demand I pay £50 again!! I clearly don't want to pay the Swine Fiddlers anything but am worried if I do nothing they'll just put the fine higher. Does anyone know if a council can reverse a decision like that? Can I appeal a 2nd time? Any advie will be gratefully received :-/

Sounds like bullshit, call them up and say you're about to set a court date to sue them can they clarify all of this as you've already won and they're still trying to charge you. If you do pay, issue a small claims court demand for money and just get the courts to get it back for you, if they ignore it judgement may go against them in their absence anyway and fighting £50 will probably cost them more in legal fees than its worth, i did this to my last insurance company and they paid instantly :)Keep all correspondance they sent and take names of people you call, I've fought a PCN myself and they said 'due to equipment failure' councils are full of it...they could've even admit i just won...easily...

GameCast: April 28th - Cubs v. Arizona
Carlos Zambrano (1-1, 4.85 ERA) vs. Yusmeiro Petit (0-1, 6.00 ERA)
On a team where the starting second baseman is the only back up third baseman...
...where a guy who never played anywhere but first base before he turned 28 is starting in right field....
...where the only lefty reliever on the team has failed to have a single no-hit, no-walk outing...
...they play to do more than just survive. They play to WIN. It's DeathCub 2009 - The Bloodening!
The good news about tonight: Milton Bradley is apparently ready to return to the lineup, or will be ready to do so soon. Just one small request to Cub fans: when a guy has hurt legs/testicles, DON'T EFFIN' BOO HIM FOR NOT RUNNING OUT A HIT BALL. Idiots! YOU try running out a ground ball with a throbbing-not-in-the-fun-way groin!
Anyway, earlier I posted an article about the "crazy" roster moves I'd make to give the team better balance. One such "crazy" move would be promoting a legitimate backup third baseman and shortstop to the team at the cost of a guy who is essentially the team's sixth outfielder and one of the team's seven relief pitchers, three of whom appear to totally suck ass. But before you jump aboard the "crazy Kurt" train keep in mind that the team's only backup third baseman is their starting second baseman and he had something like two errors in one game yesterday. That's not good. Just sayin'.
Who's Hot
Alfonso Soriano - he hit homerun #6 yesterday. Incidentally the Fonz was given up on by Lou Piniella after a 1 for 8 spell as the #3 hitter. Thankfully Lou's not so quick to give up on other players who only go 1 for 8.
Who's Not
Mike Fontenot - despite his second homerun of the season last night Fontenot had 2 defensive errors at third. He's got some makin' up to do.
Dave Patton - He's been getting hammered as of late after giving up 2 more runs - 1 earned - last night. How much longer until Lou cuts the cord?
Between the two of them, I'd probably bet on Carlos Zambrano to have a better game than Yusmeiro Petit. But it's no sure thing -- the Moose has shown moments of brilliance amid instances of crappiness.
But if ever there was a game I'd like to see the Cubs win, it's tonight's.

Direct from Europe, German master magician Jan Rouven brings his death-defying illusions to Vegas. Rouven has been mesmerizing audiences around the world with his edgy act. Overseas he's known as "The Man With Nine Lives," a moniker he earned for performing daring stunts where death seems inevitable.
Rouven's show in Vegas, simply named ILLUSIONS, gives audiences a chance to see his twisted mind at work in combination with heart-thumping music and his cast of five professional male and female dancers. The cutting-edge choreography and funky costumes give the show a modern feel, setting it apart from magicians who feature female assistants that are more like showgirls, as part of their act. In ILLUSIONS, the macabre dancers set the tone for Rouven's magic.
Several of the illusions in the show incorporate volunteers from the audience. One of the more risky tricks like this is Hand Stab. For this act, Rouven asks a volunteer from the audience to tell him which of several upright bags he should crush with his hand. One of the bags has a large knife in it. Audience members sit at the edge of their seats as Rouven takes a stab at flattening the bags in accordance with the volunteer's predictions.
For his illusion Bed of Death, Rouven lays on a platform with multiple swords hanging above his body. Each of the dangling swords is attached to a string. Rouven puts his life in someone else's hands again by asking a volunteer from the audience to come on stage and pull the strings. The potentially perilous act has everyone waiting in anticipation of which sword will drop next.
Rouven also incorporates humor into his routine. He uses his thick German accent and unfamiliarity with the English language as comic fodder. He's comfortable working the room and has no problem garnering laughs from the crowd.
Before performing in Vegas, Rouvan's daring approach to magic landed him a gig as the opening act for German pop-star Michelle. He went on tour with Michelle performing to sold-out crowds in more than 35 cities. After completing the tour, Rouven started performing in his own show at Europe's biggest revue-theatre, the legendary Royal Palace in Alsace, France.
Rouven has been honored with some of the most important international awards of the entertainment industry such as the "Magician of the Year," following magic greats David Copperfield and Siegfried & Roy; "Audience Award Monte Carlo Magic Stars" presented by Princess Stephanie of Monaco; and "Entertainer of the Year" which is selected by more than 37,000 members of the biggest magic society worldwide.
Another highlight in his Vegas show comes when Rouven performs his Water Tank illusion. For this act Rouven is cuffed and chained under water in a clear box. Rouven's taste for danger and penchant to create death-defying stunts are a sure crowd pleaser. He may be a magician, but Rouven's talent is no illusion.
