text: Has anyone implemented the Frog Parent Assessment module? There are no helpful instructions on how to configure your Aspects in SIMS in order to get them to work with Frog. I could really do with visiting a school that has it up and running, just to see where we are going wrong! Is there anyone who has got it working that would mind me popping if for a look? Many thanks.

Albert or AJ as he was known by many, grew up in the City of Glen Cove. He graduated from GCHS in 1956. Al served in the US Navy for four years and traveled the world. He earned his bachelor's degree in art education from Adelphi University and his master of fine arts from LIU. AJ taught art education at the Glen Cove High School for 30 years. Many of his art students went on to be very active in the field of art such as the late Atille Heja and the late Marc Issaccson as well as many others. AJ also served as head varsity track coach for over 25 years and as head varsity coach for both boys and girls cross country teams. Many of the records set by his team members still stand.
AJ and his wife, also an educator, loved to travel the world together and share their experiences with their grandchildren and friends. They eventually found a vacation home in the Florida Keys to spend their winters.
AJ's family will be hosting a celebration of his life at Glenwood Fire Company Headquarters, corner of School House Hill Rd. and Grove St, in Glenwood Landing, on Sunday, March 14 from 2 to 6 p.m. All are welcome to attend and share their happy memories of AJ.
In lieu of flowers donations would be accepted as a contribution to either The Timothy Conway Memorial Scholarship, c/o Half Hollow Hills CSD, 525 Half Hollow Hills Rd., Dix Hills NY 11746, a scholarship dedicated to the remembrance of his late nephew and godson, or The Sugarloaf Key Volunteer Fire Department, 17175 Overseas Hwy., Sugarloaf Key, FL 33042, Attn: Liz Ketchum.

Book Description:
My Father's Keeper is the moving story of Jonathan Silin, a gay man in midlife who learned to care for his elderly parents as a series of life-threatening illnesses forced them to make the difficult transition from being independent to being reliant on their son. Their new needs and unrelenting demands brought them into intimate daily contact and radically transformed what had been a difficult and emotionally fraught relationship.My Father's Keeper chronicles the unexpected ways in which the ideas and skills Silin acquired as an early childhood educator, a specialist in life span development, and a compassionate witness to the devastation of the HIV/AIDS crisis came together with his interest in human psychology to deeply inform his thinking about the dramatic changes in his family's life and increasingly influence his role as his father's (and mother's) keeper. Through the months and years of his parents' decline, Silin reflects on their history as a family, recalling the pain of his father's psychological struggles through midlife and the uneasy, imperfect process of accepting his son as a gay man and accepting his son's partner into the family. My Father's Keeper is a book about beginnings and endings, loss and redemption, the ethics of intervention, and the pressing needs of two extremely vulnerable populations.

Why are there so few women scientists and engineers? A recent research report by the American Association of University Women (AAUW) presents compelling evidence that can help to explain this puzzle. "Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics" presents in-depth yet accessible profiles of eight key research findings that point to environmental and social barriers -- including stereotypes, gender bias and the climate of science and engineering departments in colleges and universities -- that continue to block women's participation and progress in science, technology, engineering, and math.
Locally, we are taking action to bridge this gap. The Humboldt Branch of AAUW raises money each year to make it possible for local girls to participate in a statewide AAUW Program, Tech Trek, a science and math camp designed to develop interest, excitement, and self-confidence in young women who will enter eighth grade in the fall. It features hands-on activities in math, science, and related fields. All sleeping, eating, instructional, and recreational facilities are located on a university campus where camps are held. All campers must be nominated by a middle-school science teacher and selected by AAUW members who pay for girls from their community to attend.
If you would like to find out more about this and other great AAUW programs, please contact our local branch by emailing me at firstname.lastname@example.com

A little about me...
Simple guy with simple interests/goals. Have 2 teenagers, one of which lives with me. It's about them first and me second, or third or never. lol.
I am a decent, loyal, funny, honest (sometimes to a fault), never too serious, type of guy (but knows when to make the tough choices ) just trying to make his way through this life, with as little drama and pain as possible.
I like anything that goes faster than my guardian can fly, sports, the beach, long drives to nowhere, hangin out, a good BBQ, camp fire, golf ( but suck at it ).Will try anything once, twice if it doesn't kill me. I will do just about anything, including go shopping. lol. If the company is right, it shouldn't matter what you do. I have many interests, goals and dreams, that have been placed on hold, so to speak, until my kids are off to college. I am not a hard core biker and it's not the only thing that drives me.
Have a fair share of tattoos, just can't see them all in my pics.
It's not about having what you want, but instead, wanting what you have.
About the one I'm looking for...
What everyone else is looking for. Eternal love and peace on earth. LOL. No seriously
I'd just like to add...
Oh yeah, 1 more thing. Must like motorcycles. Please be from around here. Don't send emails or flirts, etc.. if you require a plane ride to visit me. That's not realistic, by any means.
If you don't have a picture posted please don't bother me. Your obviously hiding something and that's a childish game I will not play. And no B.S. excuse's either. It's apparent, that many of you ladies with no pictures can't read either. Really ? Grow up.

And it seems Pharrell is the gift that just keeps on giving. The fashion world is a fickle mistress, but Pharrell Williams has obtained an Access All Areas pass to the party. The Grammy Award winning artist, producer, singer and etc has just now added yet another accolade to his ever increasing list of HOW DOES HE DO IT!? It was this morning announced that Williams is teaming up with trainer legends adidas for a long term partnership. The first adidas originals x Pharrell Williams collection will debut this summer! Exciting!
'Working with an iconic brand like adidas is such an incredible opportunity. From the classic tracksuit, to growing up in Virginia wearing Stan Smiths, adidas has been a staple in my life. Their pieces are timeless,' he said. adidas seem equally as excited to be working with the music mogul: 'I am truly thrilled to work with Pharrell. He is a pop-culture icon that never fails to inspire, not just through his musical talent and craft, but through his many other interests. He is the perfect fit for the multi-faceted company that is adidas.'
As for aesthetic? It's all a bit hush hush on that side of things for now, although adidas have unveiled an official teaser (which, as the name suggests is SUCH a tease), above, which sees a pair of heavily graffed adidas originals walking backwards into a hotel room, where a ringed hand picks up Pharrell's iconic hat to reveal the adidas logo. 'It's my line so it comes from my heart and mind,' Pharrell told WWD. 'I'm taking this very seriously. [It's for] basically everyone. [I'm] not doing this for any specific demographic; I hate being put in a category anyway.'
It may have been Nike Air Max day yesterday, but adidas aren't taking the challenge lying down. The iconic trainer brand are the latest to team up with Pharrell, who has, in the past few months alone announced a mind boggling number of collaborations and projects. We rounded some up for you below:
1. Happy T-shirts
Pharrell teamed up with Miami-based lifestyle brand Peace Love World to design a range of t-shirts in aid of International Day Of Happiness. All together now: "because I'm happy..." (Soz, it's too catchy to resist).
2. A fragrance
Mr Williams has created a scent in conjunction with Japanese fashion house Comme Des Garçons. It marks the first time the fashion house has teamed up with a musician to create a fragrance, and who better than the hottest man on the musical block? The fragrance is entitled G I R L, echoing the title of the rapper's recently released album.
3. (More) T-shirts with Uniqlo
Pharrell was this month announced as the new face of Uniqlo's t-shirt line, UT. He'll be collaborating with friend and BAPE founder Nigo - who was this year announced as the brand's new creative director - to create men and women's t-shirts, and caps, too!
4. Sunglasses
Pharrell teamed up with Moncler to design a range of Moncler Lunettes sunglasses for men and women. Mr. Williams himself will also be fronting the advertising campaign for the brand.
All that's not including the furore he caused with THAT Vivienne Westwood Mountain hat he wore to the Grammy's in January, copycats of which have been spotted runways and high street stores the world over, and of course, his own hugely successful clothing label Billionaire Boys Club. Is there anything he can't do? We rounded up some of the reasons the musician is sooo in fashion. We applaud you Mr. Williams!

According to FOX 11 Sports in Green Bay, the Minnesota Vikings are interested in signing Packers' wide receiver Donald Driver once he hits free agency in March. Driver has a close working relationship with the news outlet reporting the story, having hosted the "Inside the Huddle" show at that station for nearly a decade. The report didn't cite specific sources, instead stating that they've "learned" that the Vikings have an interest in Driver, should he decide not to retire. "I think I could go to any team and be either their No. 1 or No. 2 guy and be solid for another three years," Driver told FOX 11 two weeks ago. "The question is, do I want to see myself in another uniform? Will my family want to see that? If nobody wants to see it, at the end of the day, it will still be a tough decision because I've always said I only want to wear that green and gold and nothing else." There was a report that Driver was leaning toward retiring, but I guess he could change his mind if the Vikings make him a reasonable offer. He also may not want to play for a team that was his rival for his entire career.

Cortado Desktop Services
Summary: When staff bring their own devices to work or use them in the field, it creates a number of management and security issues. Cortado believes its business services for cloud environments can solve those problems.
Cortado's Henning Volkmer spent a few minutes bringing me up to date on what his company has been doing since our last conversation. Cortado, which started life as Thin Print, has expanded its scope of operation from thinking about virtualizing the printing process to a number of other services that are supported by a sophisticated device to server communications service. The list today includes BYOD support, supporting virtual desktops, Cloud printing, and mobile device security.
Then he went on to speak about the company's cloud desktop, Cortado Workplace, that is designed to allow just about any device that has a Web Browser that supports HTML5 to access files; access to a number of desktop features; mobile printing and faxing; and also offers 2 GBytes of free storage.
Cortado's products today focus on providing access, managing that access, maintaining an inventory of devices that access data and applications and using policy-based management to offer a secure environment.
While this might sound a tad boring, Cortado is proving a really useful set of capabilities. IT decision makers would be well advised to know about the company and its products. Who knows, Cortado's products just might make it possible to really get away from the office on weekends and holidays.

As for advice on drawing your own, this is not the place to ask. Please look up drawing tutorials around the internet.
Posted 24 June 2012 - 11:23 PM
yes, you can easily use a custom image. You just need to make it in the proper dimensions. If it is a two tile high door, you need to add an exclamation point to start of the file, like in the RTP and match it to the size of the door in the !Door3.png file from the RTP. You have to have a picture of the door in the down, left, right, and up positions in order to animate it in the game, also.

I'm new...Nov. primal/paleo challenge?
Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and I'd love to join a Nov. paleo/primal challenge if there is one.
I was primal for a good while and recently fell of the bandwagon with some unsuccessful bodybuilding-style diet experiments (read: lots of carbs on weight lifting days, no matter what type of carbs they were). After 2 months, I was able to make some decent strength gains (and body recomp) but I have suffered ill health effects in return (acne, digestion issues, other 'female' problems). Anyway, I'm over it. I'm ready to get back to the primal way of life, my body needs it!
Let me know if there is already a Nov. challenge set up, or if we can start one now/here. Thanks!
There will be one, it will be "stuck" at the top when someone starts it so it's easy to find:)
And welcome:)
Welcome aboard!
I LOVE Paleo/Primal eating.
I consider myself primal because I use stevia.
ooooh, I love me some fermented grapes as well! I drink all varieties.. though the unflavored ones. I like "real" wine.
I'm new too (to the boards). I have been eating Primal for about 6 weeks now and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. I too don't want to give up my dairy (cream in my decaf coffee, yogurt at night, cheese, and sweetener). Oh well.....I figure with no wheat/gluten and no sugar, I have to be doing something right! :yummy:
Oh, my name is Deb!:doh:

Net neutrality foes outspent backers by over three to one – and that's just so far
Monopoly & regulatory capture vs. Competition
While I support the idea of Net Neutrality in principle, I don't believe it can be achieved with this kind of regulation. The problem is still basically last mile monopoly. It has clearly been shown in the article that these monopolies are able and quite prepared to spend huge sums on ensuring regulatory capture in their favour. (That this is possible and frequent is part of a much bigger problem with our political systems)
I think that the system in the UK where the incumbent was required to provide wholesale access to its last mile infrastructure, within a regulated price structure, while not being perfect has proved much more workable.
By allowing competition and more importantly customer choice, if telco X decides to go rent-seeking by hobbling its service it is likely to lose customers to rivals offering a superior service.
In many areas this has been surpassed by rival last mile infrastructure being built, but without that initial lowering of the barrier to entry, and the ability to provide 'off-net' coverage, those rival infrastructures would likely have never been built.
Real competition is the key.

I remember watching firms when I was a kid. They were set in the wild west, and there would be a bank/stagecoach/train loaded with dollars, then some guys in black hats would turn up an steal the dollars.
Later some dude(s) in a white hat(s) would come along and sort it all out.
NHS England tells MPs: 'The state isn't doing dastardly things with GP medical records'
Even redacted that much could still be re-identified if details of a few previous addresses where included. Include data such as time off work / hospital stays, more pieces of the jigsaw fall into place, the list goes on.
Re: Fine then.
decimal point error, oops
500,000 / 43,000,000 = ~a fine of 1p per record (maximum)
I suspect this data is worth much more than that to insurers.
Fine then.
"He said if scattered pieces of such data could be assembled, like a jigsaw, to identify a specific individual, for example, then the firm responsible would face a fine of up to £500,000 from the Information Commissioner's Office."
Half a million cap on the fine, and no possibility of a custodial sentence. Compared to the value this data set has, half a million pound fine could simply be put down as the cost of doing business.
Once that data set has been re-identified and distrubuted, the damage is done.
500k puts the value of each record at arround 10p, I think the data is worth a bit more than that!
Netflix coughs up to cruise on Comcast
Re: Insufficent bandwidth splash page
Indeed, but I was thinking of making it more aggressive. At the point of being denied your viewing due to insufficient bandwidth a pages to say, "Hey your ISP is crap, why not move to one of these..", but I guess that does the trick if people care to look.
Re: It's all about balance of payments
Internet connectivity between participants is done several ways.
The most costly per megabit is to use a tier-1 transit provider. This method is great for getting access to "the whole internet'. It is relatively expensive because that transit provider has to build and maintain global infrastructure. Tier-1s may offer reductions in charges for a number of reasons, balancing flows that are of interest to their other customers and regional distribution models are typical.
The second is mutual peering, and is much cheaper. This is where two organizations agree to connect for their mutual benefit. This may be by directly connecting their networks or go via an Internet exchange point, such as the LINX, AMS-IX etc. Bandwidth on exchange points can be orders of magnitude cheaper than global tier-1 transit.
The third option is co-location, this is where a content provider places equipment in or near the subscriber provider's network.
Historically ISPs and content providers have worked together to keep their customer's cash flowing in and reduce their infrastructure costs, but as ISPs become content providers they have an interest in throwing up barriers to the competition. This is not a problem if there is a truly competitive market and subscribers can vote with the wallets, but in a monopoly situation consumer choice ends up being restricted.
I think Netflix would love to do that, but the major ISPs want Netflix to pay them major coin for the privilege. :(
Insufficent bandwidth splash page
I would be monitoring bandwidth by provider, and implement a form of session admission control.
If a provider gets congested, I would look at my database of alternative carriers in the area and serve up a splash page advising the customer that their provider has insufficient capacity for Netflix that would both protect existing streams and provide adverts for rival ISPs in the customer's area with click through to start the migration process.
Of course the US market may not have sufficient competition to support this, in which case we have a monopoly / cartel situation, and the network providers have their customers and the OTT providers by the short and curlies.

FSO / Millimetre wave vs. microwave
FSO and millimetre wave are interesting in that while they have the same latency as microwave, they offer much higher bandwidth. The trade off is that they don't propagate as far as microwave before they need repeating, having a tower every 10km vs 30-40km.
Systems offering a combination of millimetre wave and laser are now available, they have the advantage that while they are both affected by atmospheric conditions, millimetre wave is badly affected by moisture (rain, fog) and laser is less affected by moisture, but is affected by scintillation (heat haze), since these conditions rarely occur together hybrid systems provide a much more reliable signal.
Ross Ulbricht: 'Oi! Give me back my $34m in Silk Road Bitcoin booty'
Re: What ACTUALLY "remains to be seen".
"What actually remains to be seen is what the taxman thinks about Ulbricht having these Bitcoins which, even before the value recently ballooned, were worth a substantial sum"
Indeed, it was the taxman that really cooked Al Capone's goose.
Asset forfeiture
If asset foreiture works the same in the US as it does in the UK (PoCA), now 'The Assumption' has been made that Ulbricht led a 'Criminal Lifestyle', anything and everything in Ulbricht's possesion is subject to seizure.
Even if they fail to convict him of a crime, under the forefiture laws the burden now rests on Ulbricht to prove with documentation how the items and funds were aquired by legal means with the appropriate taxes paid in full.
This could be interesting from a Bitcoin perspective, because you need to prove where they came from to avoid forfeiture. I suspect this will be at legal method of choice for dealing with Bitcoins.
Once a court has granted a forefiture order unless you can either strike out 'The Assumption' by proving you are not a criminal (being found innocent of the charges helps, but may not be enough) and that everything seized can be accounted for legally, then sorry it belongs to the state now.

Fees shakeup: Freephone numbers will actually BE free – Ofcom
0330 / 0333
I had to arrange for a customer service/helpdesk number for a company I previously worked for, I knew most of the customers used mobiles, so I specifically avoided 0845/0800 numbers due the the take-the-piss rates charged by the mobile companies.
We needed a non-geographic number so we could switch call center in case of a business continuity event (i.e. building on fire etc..,) 0330 numbers are charged at normal call rate from landlines and mobiles and are included in bundled minutes, so seemed the natural choice.
Industry group blames 'outdated' kit for stock-market tech disasters
Re: If I recall correctly
"I don't remember exactly how, but essentially putting in massive buy and sell orders that you have no intention of fulfilling is a way to identify areas of weakness that can be exploited for quick profits."
The jargon term for this is flash orders (orders that only exist for milliseconds well away from the spread) , the intention being to either overwhelm the trading systems of other participants with data volume, or confuse their algorithms into thinking the markets is behaving differently than reality. In many jurisdictions flash orders are deemed a form of market manipulation and therefore banned.
Since flash order costs the exchange money in terms of having to build infrastructure able to handle this huge volume of orders that will never match, hence no commission for the exchange, most have introduced punitive charges of excessive volumes of unmatched trades. This mostly killed this behavior off before the regulators for involved.
Re: Better Idea
"Over that time, markets have evolved dramatically through the processing power of today's technology – with execution times measured in milliseconds and microseconds – as well as widespread retail investor participation in the markets, decimalisation, the exponential growth of daily trading volume, and the for-profit status of the securities exchanges."
Most people raging against HFT have a picture of electronic trading that is somewhat unrelated with reality.
The speed of transaction has been driven up by many factors that have little do with people making money from micro price movements. Admittedly HFT has seen a lot of purely parasitic trading in the past, however through regulation and exchanges changing their pricing structures to discourage huge volumes of un-matched trades being blasted through their infrastructure, this activity has declined sharply.
The move away from open out-cry exchanges (loud wide-boys in loud jackets trading by shouting and hand signals) to electronic trading had allowed more transactions to be completed per trading day. This has allowed decimalization of the market, so before when shares or instruments could only be trading in large lots, typically 100,000 of whatever you were trading.
Trades can now be performed for any volume and matched against a counter-party directly as a partial fill. This has been made possible by the speed and accuracy of electronic systems.
By removing the need to have chains of brokers to aggregate investor traders in lots, this makes it practical to facilitate direct market participation by small and retail investors.
Before if I wanted to invest in something, I would by unlikely to afford a standard lot (100,000) of whatever, so I would go to a broker, they would look at their house book, if they had the shares in their inventory they would sell me a number of shares at a price that results in a profit for them, otherwise they would buy a lot on the market and sell me the required quantity, they would of course change a premium on their purchase price to cover their commission and risk (they would be left holding the remaining shares).
Also instead of a few national exchanges there now a multitude of exchanges, MTFs and ECNs (all really the same thing at a basic level, but there are different regulatory rules).
These private exchanges need liquidity for attract customers, so they bring in traders called Market Makers, these folks are obliged to provide a bid/ask price within a certain spread for all the instruments they are contracted to 'make the market' for, an exchange will have multiple market makers all competing against each other for trader business so the real time competition between market makers has. dramatically reduced bid/ask spreads.
Most of the the responsibility for the credit crunch was down to misrepresentation of their credit risk by banks, and had nothing to do with electronic trading, high frequency or otherwise. Of course HFT is not generally understood, so it makes a good scape goat.
Banks begrudgingly accept it is there and they have no choice. HFT has already resulted in significant removal of middle men from the trading business, and threatens the banks oligopoly by allowing greater market participation.
Politicians always need something to blame other than themselves, so rather than admit to massive regulatory failure in credit markets, they would rather blame something few people understand.
In my view the benefits of high performance electronic trading out weight the downsides.
I await your down-votes.
Re: Better Idea
Front running and flash orders are already illegal.
HFT covers many strategies. I agree some seem to offer little benefit other than to the trader employing them, such as momentum trading where instruments are traded rapidly to take advantage of a moving price. However the gains today are a lot smaller than people think, often not covering the infrastructure costs required to execute them.
However many other HFT strategies, such as rapid hedging and inter-venue trading have been shown to reduce risk and improve prices.
Electronic trading is here to stay, I agree it needs to be regulated, but let's not throw the baby about with the bath water.
Re: Fixed it for you
"as well as widespread retail investor participation in the markets,
decimalisation decriminalization, the exponential growth of daily trading volume"
Are you saying trading in small volumes should be illegal, that if you can't afford 10,000 or 100,000 shares you have no business trading directly on the market, and should be forced to go through a small number of brokers?
Why not build a cluster out of WORKSTATIONS?
Office render farm
A friend at a games company many moons back once told me they had an idea, why not give everyone in the office a high(ish) powered workstation and distribute the render farm through the office using unused cycles. That way everyone gets a decent workstation and they build the render farm for cheap.
They deployed said solution, one problem though, heat. Lots of heat, more than the feeble office aircon could handle, resulting in a lot of sweaty meat bags.

Do dishwashers really blunt knives
IMO a blunt knife is more dangerous than a sharp one. With a blunt knife you have to use more force and have less control. But I don't have kids to worry about.
I use a ceramic wheel sharpener with Global knives, the type you put a bit of water in and it works great.
I don't use a dishwasher on them, but when I wash them I NEVER let go of the handle, cos having that blade lurking hidden in the washing up would be stupid.

Quite the opposite, if DPI is mandated on all connections, then the connection may only be as fast as the DPI equipment can capture, analyse and store the traffic data.
Since DPI equipment costs orders of magnitude more than switch/router or even IP filtering equipment (which would be used if the survellance were targeted on a small subsection rather than everybody).
The the cost of the DPI equipment will determine end user speed, trapping the UK in the slow lane.

Indeed. You can use most enterprise switches as tap aggregators (by using VLANs (or QinQ VLANS) with MAC Learning disabled). Which is great of you don't need precision captures.
What makes these a bit special is the ability of the switch at add a timestamp shim to the packet so you can work our how many nanoseconds it spent in the switch. The hardware to do this is part of the switch ASIC and is required to support Precision Time Protocol (IEEE 1583).

Re: Fish nerd + tech head = fish head?
A horror story from a friend with a Roomba comes to mind. Not great for with pets.
Freshly laid steaming runny dog poo in middle of living room carpet + roomba 90min floor sweap = not the best thing to come home.
I have long been planning a aquarium (tropical marine, mainly invertebrates but with a few fish), but have wanted to do it well (large tank, good lights etc..) so this represents quite an investment of both time and money. The latter being why I have not started already!. However now I am in a position to kick it off.
Being of a somewhat geeky nature, remote alerting and graphs (oh hell yeah! lots of graphs!) are kind of an essential for me. But looking at the market for monitoring equipment, it is very expensive and rather limited. Like the article states, loads of clever monitoring but no good if its flashing away in obscurity on an LCD screen in a cupboard.
So I intend to roll my own, probably a embedded Linux box, with analog to digital hardware to connect probes (flow meters, pH, EC, DOC etc), and some relays to control pumps, lights etc.
There are a few of these sorts of projects already out there, but mainly to control hydroponics systems.
But given the number of potential contributors, I think this would make a good open source hardware/software project.
Hopefully next year I will have stopped talking about it have something to show.

Collection: Congressional Research Service Reports
Marine Protected Areas: An Overview
Date: September 29, 2010
Creator: Upton, Harold E. & Buck, Eugene H.
Description: Marine protected areas (MPAs) are generally defined as areas reserved by law or other effective means to protect part or all of the enclosed environment. This report identifies a number of issues related to establishing MPAs in the United States. It begins by defining the concept and administrative actions taken to provide spatial protection in marine areas. It then considers some of the key issues and potential benefits and costs of designating additional MPAs. It concludes by considering potential areas of congressional interest for the 111th Congress. Existing federal laws related to the use of MPAs are summarized in the Appendix.

Condemnation of Private Property for Economic Development: Legal Comments on the House-Passed Bill (H.R. 4128) and Bond Amendment
Date: December 22, 2005
Creator: Meltz, Robert
Description: The prohibition on economic development condemnations extends not only to land taken for the explicit purpose of economic development but also to land subsequently so used. The latter coverage raises the possibility that although a parcel was initially condemned for a non-prohibited purpose, its use years later for a prohibited one would trigger the two-year cut-off of federal funds. Nor does there seem to be any proportionality requirement between the prohibited condemnations and the length and scope of the federal funds suspension. If Congress' Spending Power includes a proportionality requirement for conditions on federal funds, as the Court suggests, the absence of proportionality in some of the bill's applications may raise a constitutional issue.

Opening Friday
Welcome to the "Hotel Transylvania," where -- with apologies to the Eagles -- you can check out any time you like, but you will never laugh.
It's not clear why the folks behind such solid 'toon work as "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" and "Dexter's Laboratory" decided to get into the Adam Sandler business. Certainly, they must have never seen "Eight Crazy Nights," Sandler's first effort at turning his "gift" for funny voices into a cartoon.
The end result of the misguided collaboration is a good-looking but laugh-starved farce that puts Dracula (Sandler) in charge of a hotel for monsters -- "Human-free since 1895" -- and makes him an overprotective single father with a teenage daughter (Selena Gomez) named Mavis. She's turning 118 and is ready to see the world, but all Daddy Drac can think to do is stage a "visit" to the human village, where they all want to "eat your toes" and "shove garlic in your face."
So a birthday party at home it is -- home being the hotel with its headless doorman, witches for housekeepers and skeletal staff (literally). Monsters such as Frankenstein (Kevin James), The Mummy (CeeLo Green) and The Invisible Man (David Spade) are honored guests.
But darned if a nerdy human hiker -- Jonathan, voiced by Andy Samberg -- doesn't stumble in and make Mavis go "zing," as in "zing zing zing went my heartstrings." So Daddy has a problem: how to frighten the boy into skee-daddling.
The movie -- from "Clone Wars" and "Dexter's Laboratory" TV vet Genndy Tartakovsky -- has a generous helping of sight gags: zombie construction workers who whistle at whatever corpse floats by, Steve Buscemi's hang-dog werewolf with his vast brood of unruly pups, a cadaverous house mariachi band, Quasimodo (Jon Lovitz) as a chef with a rat pal (a "Ratatouille" joke).
The best gags come from quick cuts -- Drac zipping hither and thither to keep Mavis fooled, his sudden and shocking transitions to scary. The rest of what is most decidedly a "boys" comedy is humor of the fart/butt/toilet variety, PG-rated stuff Sandler and his cronies would have rejected from his "Grown Ups"/"Zookeeper"/"That's My Boy" screenplays.
Sandler's Dracula voice isn't awful. Nor is it distinct or funny, and he is given precious little funny to say. This "Hotel" was never going to earn a 4-star rating. But maybe under different management ...

NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla. - Many Lee County voters are still frustrated over the long lines and confusion that played a role in Tuesday's election.
One man from North Fort Myers is so upset, he's calling for a new election. The single item on the ballot: Sharon Harrington's job as Supervisor of Elections.
Steve Silver says he's going to Tallahassee, asking Governor Rick Scott to remove Harrington from her position.
Because of a broken ankle, Silver was brought to the front of the line at his North Fort Myers precinct. But the wait was far from over. "Even when I got inside, I still had to wait for a spot to fill my ballot out," Silver said. "Even once I filled my ballot out, I still had an hour wait just to put it into the tabulator."
Others waited up to 6 hours. "There was no excuse just to have one of tabulator machine at some of these locations," Silver said. "I want to send a petition to the Governor and I want to send it from the citizens of Lee County to remove the supervisor of elections from her position, to hold a new election, due to the fact that she can't handle this position."
Silver is gathering addresses through the Lee County Property Appraiser's database. He plans to send letters, asking voters to sign the petition. He's even paying for the return postage.
"We knew from the very beginning this was a very contested election," Silver said. "There is absolutely no reason not to be prepared for this well in advance. The citizens of Lee County demand better than what we got."
Harrington said she takes her responsibilities very seriously. And while she doesn't plan to resign, she apologized to voters. "We thought we had plenty of equipment out there because we used the same amount of equipment in 2008, and the trend is going to early voting and ballot by mail," Harrington said."Moving forward, I will do whatever it takes to ensure that this does not happen again in Lee County."
Harrington's office says so far, no petitions have been officially filed for her removal. Silver plans to get a website up and running in the next couple of days where voters can get information about the petition and contribute to the cause.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A 43-year-old man is dead after he was fatally shot by Madison police.
Dane County Sheriff's Lt. Charles Immel says Madison police were called to the man's condo building after sheriff's deputies were unsuccessful in serving the man with an eviction notice Friday morning. The man was believed to be armed with knives and a sword.
Police spokesman Joel DeSpain says police tried to persuade the man to come out peacefully throughout the day.
Police say the man came out around 9 p.m., brandishing a large sword and charged at officers. Officer first tried to stop him by firing non-lethal bean bag rounds.
Wisconsin State Journal reports (http://bit.ly/10bLOp5 ) multiple officers ended up firing multiple rounds at the man. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.

PKN Orlen, KazMunayGaz place second bid for Mazeikiu Nafta
Feb 01, 2006
Staff and wire reports
VILNIUS - Economy Minister Kestutis Dauksys said on Jan. 30 that he had no official information as to what companies had bid for Yukos' 53.7 percent stake in Mazeikiu Nafta, but that he believed there were no more than two bidders.
"I think there are two known contenders, but I have no official information as yet," said Dauksys, who heads the government's negotiating team in talks with Yukos.
On Jan. 27 Poland's PKN Orlen and Kazakhstan's KazMunayGaz confirmed that they had submitted final bids for the stake in the Baltics' only refinery.
According to unconfirmed information, the Poles bid around $1.5 billion for the asset, while KazMunayGaz reportedly announced last week that it would offer some $1.2 billion, according to the Baltic News Service.
At the same time, both companies said that they were ready to buy a stake from the government, which owns 40.66 percent. The government wants to sell 20 percent of the refinery to the strategic investor in order to sweeten the deal and acquire a one-time cash windfall.
Two potential buyers, Russia's TNK-BP and Lukoil, did not announce whether they had bid for the stake. Sources say the two companies might not bid.
Still, TNK-BP said that it had submitted "a very sound bid" for the shares and had not pulled out of the race. "We have submitted an offer. We do not comment on the price," Platts, an energy news service, quoted a TNK-BP spokeswoman as saying.
Previous reports indicated that TNK-BP bid around $600 million for Yukos' stake in Mazeikiu Nafta, while Lukoil, together with partner ConocoPhillips, offered some $980 million.
Meanwhile, Yukos officials said they expected to complete talks on the sale in two - four months.
"We expect that the ongoing process will be brought to a successful conclusion, which will be beneficial to Lithuania, Yukos and its creditors," Yukos' president and chairman Steven Theede said after meeting with Prime Minister Algirdas Brazauskas on Jan. 26.
"The legal and technical procedures of this process would allow the government to buy the stake in Mazeikiu Nafta if it wished to do so," Theede added.
Theede, who heads Yukos' negotiating team, said that the two sides were negotiating the cancellation of several conditions that are unfavorable to the Lithuanian side. The government, which wants to ensure that the refinery's next investor can guarantee stable supplies of crude to the refinery, something that it has hitherto been unable to do, is seeking to cancel two Yukos-held options to buy more shares in Mazeikiu Nafta and of its 2002 agreements with the Russian company.
"We are discussing how this process should proceed. We are interested both in pricing and concluding a deal that would be acceptable to the government," Theede said.
If Yukos decides to sell the shares directly to the government, which holds the preemptive right to acquire the stake, the latter will itself negotiate with potential investors.
Parliament has authorized the government to buy out Yukos' stake in the refinery for up to 3 billion litas (870 million euros) with the aim to turn around and sell it, along with an additional 20 percent stake, to an investor of its choice. Yukos, however, might ask for as much as 1 billion euros.
If Yukos opts to go on with the sale, it will likely choose between Kazakhstan's state oil and gas company KazMunayGaz and Poland's PKN Orlen, who bid the most for the shares. Lithuanian officials, however, have in the past said they would prefer negotiating with TNK-BP, a British-Russian joint venture that has the Kremlin's blessings.

|Carl Crawford calls time in Boston 'a scar that I think will never go away'
|08.08.14 at 12:44 pm ET
Red Sox fans probably would characterize Carl Crawford's short time in Boston as forgettable.
Crawford failed to live up to the seven-year, $142 million contract he signed with the Sox before the 2011 season. In fact, he didn't come close.
The outfielder hit .254 with 14 home runs and 23 stolen bases in 161 games over less than two injury-plagued seasons with the Red Sox before being traded to the Dodgers with Adrian Gonzalez and Josh Beckett in August 2012.
If Sox fans think the Crawford experience was bad, Crawford thought the Boston baseball experience was even worse.
"That place is going to be the same forever and I don't want no part of it," Crawford told WEEI.com. "I'm happy where I'm at right now."
When was asked if it seems like a long time ago that he played in Boston, Crawford said, "Yeah, it does. I try and put that as far behind me as I can. I would like to feel like that, but it still feels fresh at times. Just because it was one of the toughest times of my life. That's a scar that I think will never go away. I'll always remember that feeling."
Coming from such a small market in Tampa Bay, Crawford clearly wasn't ready for the expectations and media presence that comes with playing in a market such as Boston.
Crawford expressed regret toward signing with the Red Sox despite such an appealing offer money-wise and said he wished he had spent more time doing research on the teams that were interested rather than letting money be the determining factor.
"It was just different for me," he said. "Coming from Tampa, from that environment to that environment was so different I didn't really understand what I was getting myself into. I think that was the big thing. There was just such a big difference from what I was used to.
"I definitely wouldn't have went to the highest bidder. If I could have done it over again I would have gone into more detail into everything. I didn't do any research about nothing. I didn't know much about Boston, only when I played there. If I went into a little more depth as to what I was getting myself into things probably would have been a little different."
Unloading Crawford was part of a rebuilding process that ultimately led to the Sox' 2013 World Series title. But even that isn't enough to change how Crawford feels about the city.
"They say everything is different. But you can have a good team, but you can't escape all that other stuff up there," he said. "I don't want to get into all that other stuff. It's good they won a World Series, but I'm pretty sure nothing has really changed."
|Buster Olney on M&M: 'The reaction around the sport is that [the Yankees] overpaid' for Jacoby Ellsbury
|12.04.13 at 2:09 pm ET
ESPN's Buster Olney joined Mut & Merloni on Wednesday and discussed the Yankees' reported signing of Jacoby Ellsbury, and other free agents around MLB.
Ellsbury, according to a report by CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, signed a seven-year, $153 million contract with the Yankees on Tuesday night.
'I don't think that the Red Sox were close, based on what I've heard. Basically it was communicated to them, 'Look, we're talking about numbers in a different ballpark,' and I think the Red Sox all along thought that there was a good chance that that was going to happen,' Olney said.
Ellsbury's deal mirrors Carl Crawford's contract with Boston in 2011, as the speedy outfielder received a seven-year, $142 million contract from the Red Sox to leave the Rays. This is now known as one of the worst contracts in baseball, considering that Boston traded Crawford after less than two injury-plagued, disappointing seasons.
'I'm sure that the Yankees look at this deal a little bit like they did the [Mark] Teixeira deal where their feeling is, 'We know at the beginning of the deal we'll probably get good production, we'll hope for good production, and at the end of the deal it could get ugly,' ' Olney said. 'The reaction around the sport is that they overpaid.'
New York made its first big splash in the free agent market on Nov. 23 when the team signed catcher Brian McCann to a five-year, $85 million contract.
'When I heard about [the Ellsbury signing] I wasn't really surprised,' Olney said, adding. 'The Yankees brand is about winning and it's about making the playoffs, it's about winning the World Series. And so after the struggles they had, especially their offense in 2013, you knew there would be a response.'
New York Daily News columnist Mike Lupica joined Dennis & Callahan on Wednesday morning to discuss Jacoby Ellsbury's reported deal with the Yankees, as well as Robinson Cano's free agency situation.
On Tuesday night, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reported that New York signed Ellsbury, the former Red Sox outfielder, to a seven-year, $153 million contract. This figure seems exorbitant considering that Ellsbury, 30, frequently has struggled to stay on the field, and his best season was in 2011.
'Jacoby Ellsbury has been on two World Series-winning teams, I love watching him play baseball, has anybody ever thought of him as being one of the top five players in baseball?' Lupica said, adding: 'And now you're paying him like one of the very best players in baseball, even though he's three or four years past the best numbers he's ever put in the books?'
The deal, orchestrated by agent Scott Boras, is similar to what Carl Crawford received from the Red Sox in 2010. Crawford, an outfielder who relies on his speed like Ellsbury, got seven years and $142 million from the Red Sox entering his age-30 season.
'You know that Boras came into this thinking, 'I'm going to get him more than Carl Crawford,' but the Carl Crawford deal is universally analyzed as one of the dumbest the Red Sox ever made in all of recorded history,' Lupica said.
After his breakout campaign in 2011, Ellsbury struggled with injuries in 2012, and, to a lesser degree, in 2013. He missed 116 games in the last two seasons. Additionally, Ellsbury missed almost all of the 2010 season.
'I'm just more mystified that you're taking a fragile player, who depends on his legs, who played [134] games last year, we don't even have to go back to where he missed [almost] a whole season,' Lupica said.
|Carl Crawford on Boston: 'That was just a bad experience'
|08.23.13 at 11:38 am ET
Of the high-priced players the Red Sox sent to the Dodgers in last August's megadeal, outfielder Carl Crawford has been the most outspoken since, not hesitating to let everyone know that his time in Boston was miserable.
As the Red Sox and Dodgers prepare for a weekend series at Dodger Stadium, Crawford again touched on the subject.
"That was just a bad experience," Crawford told The Los Angeles Times. "I definitely felt like I had a chance to get a fresh start. With a team, new atmosphere, new environment. New everything."
Crawford is hitting .289/.340/.413 with five home runs, 23 RBIs and 11 stolen bases in 88 games this season, helping the Dodgers to first place in the National League West.
Looking at this weekend's games, Crawford said: "I want to win all three games. Bad. Then on to the next series.
Both teams are in first place after disappointing 2012 campaigns, and the trade is being credited with helping both clubs.
"It was the right time for Boston, in their mind, to do something. It was the right time for us to do something," Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said. "Both cases were dramatic."
|Red Sox-Dodgers series preview
|at 11:17 am ET
It will be a clash between two first-place clubs and a chance to see some old friends as the Red Sox head to Los Angeles to take on the red-hot Dodgers this weekend.
Almost exactly a year ago, the Red Sox and the Dodgers completed one of the biggest trades in MLB history, with the Sox sending first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, outfielder Carl Crawford, pitcher Josh Beckett and infielder Nick Punto to Los Angeles in exchange for pitching prospects Rubby De La Rosa and Allen Webster, first baseman James Loney and minor leaguers Ivan De Jesus and Jerry Sands. Both teams benefited from the blockbuster deal, and now both sit atop their respective divisions.
Beckett — who talked to WEEI.com's Rob Bradford about his trying last days in Boston — is done for the season after having surgery in July to relieve pressure on a nerve in his neck. The former Sox starter made only eight starts on the season, going 0-5 with a 5.19 ERA. Gonzalez has been a big part of the Dodgers' success in 2013, putting up a .297/.346/.456 line with 26 home runs and 77 RBIs. Punto, who was only with the Red Sox for a brief few months in 2012, has benefited from more regular playing time, batting .257 with a .335 OBP in 276 plate appearances. And Crawford, who was more than ready to get out of Boston, looks revitalized, hitting .289/.340/.413 in 88 games.
"I want to win all three games. Bad," said Crawford, who has made his feelings about his time in Boston well known. "Then on to the next series."
The deal allowed the Red Sox to rebuild their club and become a contender this season, just a year after losing 93 games. "At the time things weren't going well for us and we simply weren't who we wanted to be," general manager Ben Cherington said. "Though there were many reasons for that, we felt a significant reallocation of money might allow us to reshape the team more quickly and get us started down a different path.
"It wasn't about the players we traded. It was simply an acknowledgment that things weren't working."
The blockbuster has played a part in the Dodgers' success this year, undoubtedly. But there are many reasons why LA, a team that played .500 baseball in the first half, has become the hottest team in baseball, going 28-5 since the All-Star break. The rotation, the bullpen and the offense has begun to click and get hot at the same time, and a few additions (starter Ricky Nolasco and, most notably, rookie sensation Yasiel Puig) have sparked a talented team and made it one of the toughest clubs to beat. The Dodgers sit 9½ games ahead of the second-place Diamondbacks, their biggest lead of the season. They grabbed hold of the division lead on July 22 and haven't looked back since, continuing to expand the gap between them and the rest of the division.
The Red Sox aren't in a bad spot either, but the race for the AL East title is a little more competitive, to say the least. The Sox briefly lost their lead in the division, with the Rays pulling even with Boston on Tuesday, but a series win against the Giants (and a victory by the Orioles over the Rays) means that the Red Sox are alone again at the top. The series victory against the reigning World Series champs was the first series win for the Sox since taking two of three from the Astros earlier this month. The Red Sox have played .500 baseball this month, going 10-10, but they still have yet to lose more than three games in a row. They hope that the resurgence of Will Middlebrooks, the addition of top prospect Xander Bogaerts, the return of David Ross and the eventual return of Clay Buchholz can inject some life into a club that's been unable to string wins together.
|Tom Werner on D&C: 'Winning is the best revenge' for Terry Francona book
|05.03.13 at 9:13 am ET
Red Sox chairman Tom Werner joined Dennis & Callahan on Friday morning to talk about the team's early season success and promote Saturday morning's Run-Walk to Home Base charity event.
Following last year's forgettable season, the Red Sox entered 2013 with low expectations around baseball.
"I am an optimistic guy, and we certainly thought we were going to do much better than we did last year," Werner said. "We were amused at the preseason predictions. I think there were something like 41 ESPN analysts and they had 20 predicting the Toronto Blue Jays were going to win the division and I think 18 having the Rays win the division and zero having the Red Sox winning. So, it's certainly been a very enjoyable month. And clearly, everybody is contributing."
Werner credits the team's new manager as the key.
"I think John Farrell, you start with how he's turned around this pitching staff," Werner said. "And not just Clay [Buchholz] and Jon Lester, but the back end of the rotation, it's been terrific."
The Red Sox stayed away from making any major splashes in free agency this past offseason, signing less-heralded players Mike Napoli, Shane Victorino and Ryan Dempster to short-term deals.
"I think you guys know that we always want to win, and we have the resources to win. But you don't necessarily win by signing those high-priced players," Werner said. "It's not that we cut our payroll this year. I just think we used it in a different way. We avoided the $150 million, five- or six-year contracts, the Carl Crawfords, and I think there's another way to win."
The turnaround comes after the ownership group was the recipient of some criticism in a book by former manager Terry Francona.
Said Werner: "Winning is the best revenge for that book, isn't it?"

|Buster Olney on M&M: Rival GM says Red Sox would get 'nothing' in trade of Alfredo Aceves
|04.24.13 at 1:17 pm ET
Buster Olney of ESPN joined Mut & Merloni on Wednesday to talk about what the Red Sox might do with Alfredo Aceves in light of his mounting issues, and about some of Carl Crawford's recent comments about his time in Boston.
Olney said he doubts the Sox would get much, if anything, by trading Aceves, more because of his attitude problems than his pitching.
"I'd be surprised, after he had that incident in spring training, if you guys remember — the live BP session in which he wasn't giving 100 percent effort," Olney said. "I asked one general manager, what could you get for him? And he said, 'Nothing.' Basically, because his reputation as a teammate is so bad. That's not to rule out the possibility that he would go someplace else and actually pitch OK, but I think all the personality stuff we've seen in the last two years is going to certainly mitigate some teams' interest in adding him while giving something up that they consider to be worthwhile.
"Maybe the best thing the Red Sox could hope for would be some degree of salary relief, and there are certainly teams out there that would take a shot at him because they're struggling for pitching. The Angels, who are absolutely starved right now, maybe they would take a shot at him, but again, I don't think they're going to get anything serious in return based on what I've heard from rival general managers."
Meanwhile, in a Wednesday column by ESPN's Jerry Crasnick, Crawford said that he'll always carry his time in Boston with him, "because it did so much damage to the inside of me." Before Crawford came to Boston, Olney said, there were people in the Rays organization who were concerned about his ability to move to a higher-pressure market. There also were members of the Yankees organization who had the same worries, even as the Yankees showed an interest in him.
Even so, Olney said he thinks Crawford's attitude toward Boston since being traded to Los Angeles is more an effort to keep himself sharp than anything else.
"I think a lot of what you're reading from Carl is him finding and developing a chip on his shoulder," Olney said. "I was around Carl for a good number of days when he was with the Red Sox. I didn't think he was mistreated at all. I thought he was treated great. Relative to how he was performing, yeah, he got booed a little bit. I don't think the media was really all that tough on him. But I think that what you have is, Carl will tell you about, people back in high school didn't believe in me, I had doubters, people wondered, and I just think this is a way to motivate himself on a daily basis. And he is a motivated guy. The guy's getting up at 4:30, 5 every day to work out. '¦ It's like he's playing ninja mind games with himself."

The VIt D3 brands I had been taking so far did not raise my D3 level at all and caused me some undesirable side effects. Only this Life Extension brand has worked and over a year my levels went up from 0.19 to 0.71 which is nearly the right level of D3

I started taking vitamin D3 from Wellness Pharmacy in AL. Very High quality pharmaceutical grade product. Price was OK but shipping wasn't so I tried 2 others include Dr. Weil's. Did nothing. I know Life Extension is a good company so I tried this and it works as well as the pharmaceutical quality D3. Warn people. Not all D's are alike. My levels went from way below normal to 47 over a period a year, starting with 1000 mg and ending with 5000mg a day. I don't take 5000 mg every day in sunny weather -only in winter. I feel squirrely if I take too much. But I've had Seasonal Affective Disorder at a crippling level for years and have had 2 reasonabily good winters since takeing Vitamin D. I also had calcium absorbtion problems we're monitoring now to see if D deficiency caused them. Get your D3 levels drawn. Women over 50 need this most. Colon cancer and breast cancer are affected and the D they add to milk does nothing.

I had been asked by my doc to increase my vitamin D to enable my calcium abosrbtion. My vitamin D count went down when I added the D. When I spoke to the doc, she said sometimes some formulations don't always work in an individual. I changed to this brand, and bingo, my count went right to the normal range.

Good - this is one of the few companies supplying high dose Vitamin D
