The Argus Council Tax Debate: Labour leader Warren Morgan responds
Updated 12:12pm Friday 7th February 2014 in News
Councillor Morgan hit out at the Greens for being out of touch with "ordinary workers" in proposing his party's 2% rise in council tax.
He said: "Many are struggling with debt, some are using food banks and some are facing a choice between heating and eating. They just don't have £6 at the end of the month to spare.
"They can't pay and I'm not prepared to make them pay for the cost of the Tory Government cuts."
Taking a swipe at the Greens, he added: "Jason Kitcat may be able to afford a rise in council tax, Caroline Lucas may be able to afford it, but most people can't.
"The Greens say £6 isn't much, and that just shows how out of touch they are with ordinary workers."
The Labour leader faced a tough time distancing himself from the Greens' proposed rise while also steering clear of siding with the Tories' freeze.
Defending his position, he said: "Even if the Greens' proposed increase went ahead it would not stop the cuts.
"A 4.75% tax rise would only raise an extra £2 million against £23 million of Tory cuts.
"There will be another £25 million of cuts next year. People can't afford to pay for the Tory cuts.
"So why don't we support the Tory freeze? The Tory Government say they will give the council £1 million if they freeze tax.
"But they will still cut £23 million pounds from our funding."
He also hit out at the Greens for taking a "27-year risk" by backing the controversial i360 development.
He said: "Why should the taxpayer, who doesn't have any choice in the matter, be given that 27 year risk.
"It is too great a risk to take on."
Buoyed by his Labour colleagues sitting in front of the stage, he said he would "fight" to get his party into government to reverse the cuts.

I have to live within my means - I don't have access to a perceived bottomless pit of money otherwise know as the taxpayer.
It's about time it was recognised that there's a limit to what the taxpayer can provide. It's about time there was real accountability in our public services.
It's easy to spend other people's money, but politicians have forgotten their responsibilities. It's our money - not yours. Let's have efficient public services, not the shambles we have now.

Whisenhunt: Potter's play 'merits moving forward'
In Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, they got both.
Early in the contest, head coach Ken Whisenhunt replaced starting left tackle D'Anthony Batiste with rookie seventh round draft pick Nate Potter, and the results were promising.
"He did real well, I'm very impressed with what Nate did for us (Sunday)," Whisenhunt said at his weekly press conference Monday. "I think it was a good time to make that switch with him in there and based on what I saw on the tape, it merits moving forward."
The Cardinals' pass protection was noticeably better than it's been for most of this season. Arizona allowed only two sacks in 48 drop backs by quarterback John Skelton, the lowest total since they allowed just one in a Week 2 win over the New England Patriots.
Potter, a consensus All-American as a senior last year at Boise State, had the unenviable task of matching up with Green Bay defensive end Clay Matthews. But the rookie did a stellar job on the three-time Pro Bowler, holding him without a sack. Matthews eventually left the game with a hamstring injury.
"He's worked hard on the scout team in getting his reps, he's paid attention and he's healthier now than he was," Whisenhunt said. "He struggled in the preseason because of the high ankle (sprain), so it was encouraging to see that, but it was one game."
Despite Potter's performance and the struggles Batiste has endured at the position, Whisenhunt stopped short of announcing a permanent change at left tackle.
"We're looking towards doing that with Nate, I think his play merited that," he said. "That's what this week's about, we're going to evaluate a lot of things."
The Cardinals are in their bye week, with 13 days to get ready to play the undefeated Atlanta Falcons on the road in Week 11. When asked whether the bye week would stimulate other changes, Whisenhunt didn't give an outright answer.
"I think we're going to look at what we're doing and who we're doing it with," he said. "But the one thing I want to be very clear about is, we're not going to be afraid to make a change.
"If it gives an opportunity to get better and not stay the same, then that's what you have to do because we've been inconsistent and we're looking for more consistency. When we play consistent football, we're a pretty good football team."

That far right piton is either no longer there or should be pulled. It was wiggling when we used it. Not sure if we got a chance to pull it on the way down because we were fighting daylight.
looks solid to me
If you were sketched out with the one sling, why didn't you just re-tie it? just a thought :)
I have that piton now--sits on the mantle

After years of debate and ill-fated plans, Australia is no closer to a lasting solution to nuclear pollution, writes ACF's Dave Sweeney.
Greg Hunt's approval of Australia's largest coal mine in the Galilee Basin has created headlines around the world for all the wrong reasons.
This last week has seen a shift in the Abbott government's war on nature. Nature, and the people who care about it, are fighting back.
It's been a huge year for climate and we have reached a critical point. If the government won't take action against big polluters, we will.

Tony Romo had a hot first half, throwing two touchdowns as the Cowboys led the Chargers, 21-13, but it was all San Diego in the second half as Philip Rivers led the Chargers to a 30-21 win. While the San Diego defense held Dallas scoreless after halftime, Rivers helped sustain long scoring drives and made it a two-score lead when he hit Antonio Gates for a 56-yard touchdown with 7:02 remaining in the game.
Rivers finished the game going 35-of-42 for 401 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. It was the fifth-most yards he has had in a game during his career and he completed 36 passes for 419 yards against the Eagles just two weeks ago.
The Cowboys fall to 2-2 on the same day that the Redskins finally picked up their first win of the season. Dallas now holds just a one-game lead over Washington (1-3) and Philadelphia (1-3), with the Giants (0-4) still in the cellar.
The Chargers move up to 2-2, while the Broncos and Chiefs still lead the division at 4-0.
Fantasy studs and duds
Rivers, obviously. Danny Woodhead caught two touchdown passes.
DeMarco Murray had 91 total yards and no touchdowns. Ryan Mathews had 103 total yards and no touchdowns. Dez Bryant caught two touchdown passes.
Injury report
Cowboys defensive end George Selvie left the game with a head injury.
Chargers linebacker Dwight Freeney left the game with a quad injury and did not return.
Did they cover?
The Chargers were 1-point underdogs to the Cowboys at home, per OddsShark.com, so they covered easily.

RSTCert is housed within the Department's Continuing Education Program (RSTCE) which is well-known for many educational resources in the field of AT. The curriculum combines many existing in-person and online course offerings from RSTCE in a semi-structured format.
RSTCE is pleased to announce the pilot of RSTCert and by doing so is recruiting and offering trainees full scholarships in exchange for their constructive feedback related to the program design. Trainees will receive free training, reimbursement for travel expenses to Pittsburgh for a 2-day hands-on workshop in May of 2013, and the RESNA ATP exam fee.
The certificate will cover more than a dozen topics related to AT (e.g. service delivery, wheeled mobility, computer access, and augmentative communication to name a few). The program is self-paced with online modules and one required online/conference call meeting per month, designed for the busy professional who wants to learn in their home or on the go. The program will begin in September 2012 and conclude in May 2013.
No specific pre-requisite qualifications are required to apply however the program is geared to people who have a genuine interest in the provision of AT to people with disabilities (including clinicians, educators, and suppliers) and who eventually wish to seek the ATP credential.
Interested applicants should visit the RSTCert website at http://www.rstce.pitt.edu/RSTCERT/ and contact Mary Goldberg at firstname.lastname@example.com or 412-822-3700 for more information. Applications for the 2012-2013 program will be accepted until August 24, 2012.

Cory Harrilchak finished his year by excelling near his hometown, teammates Ed Lucas and Ernesto Mejia dominated as well, and Tommy La Stella finished off his fine debut season.
Who's Hot?
Cory Harrilchak RF, Mississippi Braves -7-18, 4 2B, 3B, HR, 2 RBI, 3 BB, 2 HBP - Harrilchak finished his season with an away series against the Carolina Mudcats, playing just minutes from his hometown of Cary, NC. The 22 year old didn't disappoint his friends and family, putting up a slash line of .389/.522/.889/1.411 en route to his best week of the season. After a weak first half, he turned his season around, finishing with respectable numbers, a .266 average, a .737 OPS, 26 doubles, 5 triples, 7 homers, 56 RBI, and 10 stolen bases.
Tommy La Stella 2B, Rome Braves -9-21, 3 2B, 3B, HR, 7 RBI, 4 BB - La Stella had another monster week, putting up a .429/.520/.810/1.330 slash line. From August 1st until the end of the season he had a .386/.443/.646/1.089 slash line, helping him to have the best season of any Braves 2011 draftee, finishing with a .328 average, a .944 OPS, 13 doubles, 5 triples, 9 homers, and 40 RBI in 63 games played.
Ed Lucas SS, Mississippi Braves - 10-23, 2B, 4 HR, 11 RBI, 2 BB - After hitting just .218 with a .606 OPS in the first half for Gwinnett, Lucas was demoted to Mississippi, and he ended up playing well there, hitting .270 with a .785 OPS. Those numbers were greatly aided by the last week of the season, when he slugged .815 and put up a gaudy 1.194 OPS, rapping out 4 homers, including 2 in last Friday's game.
Ernesto Mejia 1B, Mississippi Braves - 9-27, 2 2B, 4 HR, 10 RBI, 11 K - Mejia's monster season included setting new Mississippi single season records for hits (148), homers (26), and RBI (99), so it's no surprise that he finished with a great week, slugging .852 with a 1.185 OPS in his last 6 contests. The only downside of the week was that he struck out in 41% of his at bats for the week, which was much worst than the 31% rate he struck out at all year.
Honorable Mention: Gwinnett: Mauro Gomez, Wil Nieves, JJ Hoover, Wilkin Ramirez, Matt Young, Ben Swaggerty; Mississippi: Jose Lugo, Yeliar Castro, Zeke Spruill, Matt Kennelly, Chris Masters, Jordan Kreke, Sean Henry; Lynchburg: Ryan Buchter, David Hale, Mark Lamm, Shawn McGill, Andrelton Simmons, Joey Terdoslavich; Rome: Gus Schlosser, Tyler Stovall, Sean Gilmartin, Aaron Northcraft, Ryan Delgado, Matt Lipka, David Rohm
Who's Not?
Joe Leonard 3B, Lynchburg Hillcats - 1-26, RBI, 3 BB, SB, 7 K - Leonard had a tough year, hitting just .247 with a .689 OPS, and it ended with his worst week of the season, as he hit .038 with a .176 OPS in the year's final contests. When the Braves drafted him last year, they thought they were getting a power prospect, but he only had 36 extra base hits all year, slugging only .378.
Brett Butts RHP, Mississippi Braves -2 G, 0-1, 1.1 IP, 5 ER, 3 H, 3 BB, 0 K - Butts is less than 14 months removed from Tommy John surgery, and he'd be the first to tell you he's not back to 100% yet, so it's no surprise that he's struggled in the few games he pitched this year. In his final appearance of the season he allowed 5 earned runs while only recording 1 out, and in his final 4 appearances he allowed 14 earned runs in only 3 innings, good for a 42.00 ERA and a 5.00 WHIP. He'll be back to full strength at the beginning of next season, and games like this will be a distant, awful memory.
Chris Garcia 1B, Rome Braves -3-26, 3 RBI, BB, 5 K - Garcia had a great year as Rome's cleanup hitter, with a .305 average, a .917 OPS, 24 doubles, 16 homers, and 67 RBI in 348 at bats, but the last week of his season was abysmal, as he hit just .115 with a .263 OPS.
Ronan Pacheco LHP, Rome Braves - 2 G, 0-2, 9.1 IP, 11 R, 10 ER, 16 H, 5 BB, 6 K - Pacheco lost both of his starts this week, putting up a 9.64 ERA and a 2.25 WHIP. The huge 23 year old lefty had a rough season overall, with a 5-9 record, a 5.00 ERA, and a 1.48 WHIP in 95.1 innings.
Dishonorable Mention: Gwinnett: Brandon Hicks, Jairo Asencio, Dustin Richardson; Mississippi: Luis Avilan, Myke Jones; Lynchburg Hillcats: Barrett Kleinknecht, Todd Cunningham, LV Ware; Rome Braves: Edward Salcedo, Robby Hefflinger

WYNNE, AR (KAIT)- The Cross County special school election recently passed in a 69-15 vote to help with the expansion of the elementary school and updating the high school door and locks.
superintendent of the Cross County School District, Carolyn Wilson, said she wants to take action now to prevent something bad from happening later.
"We've been
working on getting ready for the active shooter drills the city has mandated," Wilson said.
Wilson has also been working to improve the safety
at the high school.
"We've known
for a long time that we wanted to replace the door, we have a camera system in
place but some of our doors don't lock, when you go out you have to lock them," she said.
But Wilson
plans to change that before the next school year.
replacing doors, we doing some safety issues that we need to address,"Wilson said.
Wilson said
they have asked several agencies to inspect the structure of the school and
make any recommendations.
"The kids
have to go out for football, our agr-ri building is separate, our band building
is separate," Wilson said. "There are
too many things where they have to leave
the building and come back in for."
Wilson said the
high school will get self-locking doors and upgrade their camera system.
"We put in
the camera systems, the outside doors are locked and you have to ring in but we
still have about three outside doors that we have to constantly go back and
check," she said.
In addition
to adding more security to the high school, the elementary school will get two
additional classrooms.
"We have
known for some time that we were going to have to build on to our elementary
school," Wilson said.
Wilson says the
elementary school has been overcrowded for about 2 years now. All changes are
expected to be done before August.

Ohio is key in the Obama-Romney campaign endgame; television ad spending nearing $ 1 billion
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- The endgame at hand, President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney plunged into the final two weeks of an excruciatingly close race for the White House Tuesday with TV advertising nearing an astronomical $1 billion and millions of Americans casting early ballots in all regions of the country.
Increasingly, Ohio looms as ground zero in a campaign waged in tough economic times. The state's unemployment rate of 7 percent is well below the national average of 7.8 percent, Obama has campaigned here more than in any other state and Romney has booked a heavy schedule of appearances in hopes of a breakthrough.
The economy was the theme Tuesday as the two rivals put their final, foreign policy-focused debate behind.
Obama brandished a new 20-page summary of his second-term agenda and told a campaign crowd in Florida his rival's blueprint "doesn't really create jobs. His deficit plan doesn't reduce the deficit; it adds to it."
More than that, he said Romney changes his positions so often that he can't be trusted.
US could soon overtake Saudi Arabia as world's biggest oil producer; output is booming
NEW YORK (AP) -- U.S. oil output is surging so fast that the United States could soon overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's biggest producer.
Driven by high prices and new drilling methods, U.S. production of crude and other liquid hydrocarbons is on track to rise 7 percent this year to an average of 10.9 million barrels per day. This will be the fourth straight year of crude increases and the biggest single-year gain since 1951.
The boom has surprised even the experts.
"Five years ago, if I or anyone had predicted today's production growth, people would have thought we were crazy," says Jim Burkhard, head of oil markets research at IHS CERA, an energy consulting firm.
The Energy Department forecasts that U.S. production of crude and other liquid hydrocarbons, which includes biofuels, will average 11.4 million barrels per day next year. That would be a record for the U.S. and just below Saudi Arabia's output of 11.6 million barrels. Citibank forecasts U.S. production could reach 13 million to 15 million barrels per day by 2020, helping to make North America "the new Middle East."

President Barack Obama supports abortion rights. And his health care law requires contraceptives to be available for free for women in workplace health plans.
Caught in months of fighting for Syrian city, Aleppo residents strain for survival
ALEPPO, Syria (AP) -- The rumble of engines in the sky immediately set the Aleppo neighborhood below on edge. Men peeked from shops anxiously at the Syrian warplane circling slowly overhead. Housewives emerged on balconies to gauge whether they were about to be hit. But the kids hanging out on the street were unfazed. One kept dribbling his basketball.
Finally, the jet struck. Engines revving louder, it dove and unleashed a burst of heavy machine-gunfire into a nearby part of the city. It soared back up under a hail of rebel anti-aircraft fire, then swooped back down for a second strafing run.
The women on the balconies broke into tears, fearing for the children in the street. But the boys just pointed at the jet, shouting "God is great" in challenge. "God send you to hell, Bashar," one boy yelled as the jet flew away.
With death lurking around every corner, the survival instincts of Aleppo's population are being stretched to the limit every day as the battle between Syria's rebels and the regime of President Bashar Assad for the country's largest city stretches through its fourth destructive month. Residents in the rebel-held neighborhoods suffering the war's brunt tell tales of lives filled with fear over the war in their streets, along with an ingenuity and resilience in trying to keep their shattered families going.
And while residents of the rebel-held areas express their hatred of Assad's regime and their dream of seeing him go, they also voice their worries over the rebels and the destruction that their offensive has brought to their city. Graffiti on the shutter of a closed store declares the population's sense of resignation: "God, you are all we've got."
GOP Senate candidate Mourdock: When rape results in pregnancy, 'that's something God intended'
NEW ALBANY, Ind. (AP) -- Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock said Tuesday when a woman becomes pregnant during a rape, "that's something God intended."
Mourdock, who's been locked in one of the country's most watched Senate races, was asked during the final minutes of a debate with Democratic challenger Rep. Joe Donnelly whether abortion should be allowed in cases of rape or incest.
"I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And, I think, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen," Mourdock said.
Mourdock became the second GOP Senate candidate to find himself on the defensive over comments about rape and pregnancy. Missouri Senate candidate Rep. Todd Akin said during a television interview in August that women's bodies have ways of preventing pregnancy in cases of what he called "legitimate rape." Since his comment, Akin has repeatedly apologized but has refused to leave his race despite calls to do so by leaders of his own party, from GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney on down.
It was not immediately clear what effect Mourdock's comments might have during the final two weeks before the Nov. 6 election. But they could prove problematic. Romney distanced himself from Mourdock on Tuesday night -- a day after a television ad featuring the former Massachusetts governor supporting the GOP Senate candidate began airing in Indiana.
Mass. gov.: Unclean conditions at pharmacy tied to meningitis, officials move to void license
BOSTON (AP) -- State officials investigating a pharmacy linked to a deadly outbreak of meningitis said Tuesday they found shoddy sterilization practices and unclean conditions there, including debris-covered floor mats and standing water from a leaking boiler.
State officials also said the New England Compounding Center shipped steroids from the possibly contaminated batches suspected in the outbreak before it received its own test results confirming the drugs were sterile.
Gov. Deval Patrick said he's ordered state pharmacy regulators to conduct surprise inspections -- the first of which happened Tuesday -- at companies similar to the NECC and take other steps to tighten oversight. The state also has moved to revoke the company's operating license and the licenses of its top three pharmacists.
"Those whose laboratory practices caused this outbreak should never practice pharmacy or manufacture in Massachusetts again," Patrick said.
The outbreak of fungal meningitis, an inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord, has sickened 308 people, including 23 who have died, in 17 states. The outbreak has been linked to a steroid made by the NECC and taken mainly for back pain. Compounding pharmacies like NECC custom mix solutions in doses or forms generally not commercially available.
Wary Jamaica braces for Tropical Storm Sandy, forecast to hit island as hurricane
KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) -- Jamaicans stocked up on supplies and reinforced roofs on Tuesday ahead of the arrival of Tropical Storm Sandy, which is expected to hit the Caribbean island of posh resorts and sprawling shantytowns as a hurricane with lashing rain and wind.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm was churning over warm Caribbean waters and should reach Jamaica on Wednesday, most likely as a Category 1 hurricane. The late-season storm is expected to travel from south to north over the island, which local meteorologists say hasn't sustained a direct hit from a hurricane's eye since powerful Hurricane Gilbert in 1988.
Acting Prime Minister Peter Phillips said "all Jamaicans must take the threat of this storm seriously" and asked people to look out for their neighbors, especially children, the elderly and the disabled.
Hurricane conditions were possible in eastern Cuba by Wednesday night. The storm is forecast to pass near but miss the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, where pretrial hearings are being held for a suspect in the attack on the Navy destroyer the USS Cole. Authorities at the base had considered suspending this week's proceedings, but said that as of late Tuesday they planned to continue despite Sandy.
On Tuesday night, the outer bands of Sandy drenched parts of Jamaica with steady rain that sent brown water rushing down streets and gullies. Tropical storm winds were expected to hit early Wednesday. By 11 p.m. EDT, there was hardly a breeze in Kingston, the island's capital and biggest city.
Brothers, 15 and 17, charged with killing NJ girl missing for days; their mom went to police
CLAYTON, N.J. (AP) -- A teenage boy lured a 12-year-old girl into his house under the guise of getting parts for her treasured bicycle and then, with his older brother, killed her, police said Tuesday. The girl's disappearance had sparked a frantic search by residents of her small town until a tip from the boys' mother led police to her body, stuffed into a home recycling bin.
The boys, ages 15 and 17, were charged with murdering Autumn Pasquale, who disappeared while riding her BMX bike Saturday, a little more than a week before what would have been her 13th birthday. She appeared to have been strangled, Gloucester County prosecutor Sean Dalton said at a late-day news conference.
The boys' mother had come forward with information about a posting on a son's Facebook account, Dalton said. He wouldn't say what was on the website or discuss a possible motive for the killing, but said there was no sign of sexual assault.
Autumn was lured to the house, where they apparently lived with their mother and stepfather, for the purpose of getting parts for her treasured BMX bike, which she rode frequently and talked about on her Facebook pages.
Both brothers were charged with counts including first-degree murder, body disposal and tampering with evidence. The 15-year-old was also charged with luring.
Santa Barbara County authorities say surfer killed by shark off Vandenberg Air Force Base
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) -- A surfer was killed Tuesday by a shark off a beach at coastal Vandenberg Air Force Base following a summer of shark sightings along California's Central Coast, authorities said.
Francisco Javier Solorio Jr., 39, of Orcutt was killed in the attack off the coast of Surf Beach in Lompoc, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department said in a statement.
He was bitten by the shark in his upper torso.
Solorio "had a friend who he was surfing with who saw the shark bite or hit the man," said sheriff's Sgt. Mark A. Williams. "His friend ended up swimming over and pulling him from the water where he received first aid."
The friend started first aid while another surfer called for help, but Solorio was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene.

Like butterflies, male fireflies bribe the female with a "spermatophore" -- a package of sperm and nutrients. This is in addition to blinking their "lights" at the female. The female blinks back if she's interested and, according to a 2012 study, she usually goes for the firefly with the bigger gift package. In this image, it seems a second suitor thought the flash was for him.

Mathews ran for 80 yards and a touchdown and added six receptions for another 59 yards during Sunday's 31-24 loss at New Orleans.||||||| Despite carrying the ball just 12 times, Mathews finally delivered for fantasy owners.

Fishing report for April 26, 2010by
Here's what's biting in area waters:
St. Lucie County
Guide Charlie Conner reports that pompano are being caught on sandfleas, jigging spoons and shrimp north of the Harbor Branch Institute on the east and west banks of the Indian River. Spotted sea trout are hitting soft plastic jerkbaits in shallow water areas on both the east banks south of the Fort Pierce Inlet. Frozen finger mullet and spoons are enticing bluefish to strike along the south Jjetty. A few flounder are feeding on both live and frozen shrimp in the Inlet. Scattered sailfish continue to be caught and released.
Martin County
The Snook Nook in Jensen Beach reports that beach action this weekend was slow. After the storm Monday morning, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, jacks and pompano were all being caught along Martin County beaches. Spotted sea trout and redfish are consistently hitting live shrimp and soft plastics along the grass flats early in the morning. Sailfish action has been good with the choppy conditions and should continue. Snapper and grouper were hitting both live and dead bait on the shallow reefs from 30 to 60 feet.
Northern Palm Beach County
Anglers on the Black Dog fishing charter caught kingfish, mutton snapper, cobia, dolphin and bonito fishing in 80 to 120 feet north of the Jupiter Inlet last week. Anglers fishing the Juno Beach Pier on Monday caught Spanish mackerel on small plugs and live sand perch with multiple hook ups of bluefish on cut bait. Dolphin are being found in 200 to 400 feet straight out the Inlet hitting live bait and ballyhoo. Bluefish, jacks, and a few pompano are still being caught off area beaches.
Southern Palm Beach County
Perks Bait and Tackle reports sailfish continue to be caught on trolled ballyhoo in 120 to 200 feet. Kingfish and blue runners are hitting sardines in 70 feet outside the Boynton Inlet. With heavy winds and rough seas anglers need to be cautious when navigating through the inlet, which has seen a few bluefish, Spanish mackerel and pompano along its edges and beaches. Look for blackdrum and sheepshead around area bridges and along seawalls.
Freshwater Lakes
Peacock bass are starting to show up again in the Osborne and Ida chain. Small crankbaits and tiny Rat-L-Traps are fooling peacock bass over 5 pounds. Largemouth bass can be found around most of the lillypads and along the edges of thick hydrilla mats. Live shad and shiners are always excellent baits for enticing a strike. Soft plastic jerkbaits in watermelon and redshad are luring a few artificially.
Lake Okeechobee
Lake levels continue to rise with all the heavy rain. Largemouth bass over 8 pounds are hitting soft plastic worms around grassy areas on the south end near Belle Glade. With water temperatures on the rise, look for bass in shallow water areas near vegetation early in the morning and deeper holes during the afternoon. Speckled perch are starting to feed on minnows and jigs in the rim canal.

I got a warm and fuzzy feeling as I read Sen. Marco Rubio's vision for our region in his Dec. 30 article, Crucial time for our hemisphere. Why did I have such an emotional reaction? Because I felt I was 10 years old again sitting in my house off of Eighth Street listening to my father talk about the Cold War. We had just elected a young president, John F. Kennedy, who would soon electrify us with a speech that echoes till this day.
He had inherited a world filled with violence and the potential for world annihilation. I still remember seeing someone building a bomb shelter when I walked home from school.
As I read Rubio's piece, I thought this young politician was stuck in a time machine from 1961, and that he, too, was fighting a cold war. His vision is packed with military exercises for fighting, not the USSR, but other foes, China and Iran; doubling down on the "war" on drugs; and figuring out a way to exploit another country for its resources, in this case Brazil.
Has this man learned nothing about the intervening 50 years? Before Kennedy was assassinated he began to rethink his Cold War vision. He saw the possibility of taking our country in another direction. A vision filled with hope of a less violent world shaped not by weapons of mass destruction and large militaries but by a more peaceful approach using economic aid and mutually beneficial alliances with our neighbors. We will never know if he could have placed our country on this path, but we certainly know the world we have created using the never-ending cold-war approach.
Even though it is nice to feel warm and fuzzy and remember the "good old days," in truth they were not so good. Unfortunately, leaders like our junior senator see things only through the distorted prism of war. Some politicians will grow and change while they are in office as they learn from their mistakes and use history and science to help guide them. Others, like Rubio, will be content to live in the past. If we keep electing people like that, we have only ourselves to blame if nothing ever seems to change for the better.

New York and London Fashion Weeks came and went and stars packed the front rows in their best in both fashionable cities. We also saw our favorite starlets work their magic onstage and on the red carpet from the UK to Las Vegas.
Check out some of this week's hottest looks:
Zoe Saldana went for a polished neutral look in a classic trench while out in Beverly Hills and Rochelle Wiseman followed suit in a lavender duchesse silk trench from Burberry, but she dressed her look up with Tribute Mary Janes from YSL. June Ambrose and Toccara shut it down at New York Fashion Week, while Alexandra Burke, Tolula Adeyemi and Rita Ora worked it across the pond at London Fashion Week making appearances at Pam Hogg and Vivienne Westwood. At the Power of Love Gala in Las Vegas, Kelly Rowland looked stunning and the men brought their A-game as well including Ne-Yo and John Legend in black expertly-tailored suits and Common in a casual ensemble. Eva Longoria and Rihanna were seen out and about in denim and blazers, while Amber Riley and Rebecca Ferguson went glam: Amber for her 26th birthday in a tulle dress and Rebecca onstage for her UK Tour in Manchester. And no rundown would be complete without President Obama and First Lady Michelle. Mrs. O looked fab in a Peter Som custom coat and her signature kitten heels.
Who had your favorite look this week?

28 Responses to "This Week in Chic: Zoe Saldana, June Ambrose, Rihanna and More!"
Love Zoe Saldana's look as well as Rihanna's jacket! Who is that by??
LOVE that dress in the pic above kelly rowland.. no idea who the person is tho lol
I thought kitten heels were under two inches?
I like the print of Toccara's dress but she needs better posture and/or a better bra. Probably a lower neckline to open her up…looks like she's stifling in that thing.
Chick w/ the blonde hair…love her look!
Toccara's posture is horrible, smh. It's amazing what standing up straight with your shoulders back can do for you whole look.
I loooved Kelly Rowland. I think she looks great. Michelle Obama look poised as ever! Neo and John legend look very dapper!
Luv all the looks june killed it luv the mint/black
Love Rihanna, Rita Ora looks!!! I need the tea on both outfits! pretty plz ;)
I really liked Rita Ora's androgynous look. Is it just me or is Rihanna extremely overrated? I'm sorry but I don't get her fashion choices.
Doesn't June look like a perfectly wrapped Tiffany box? Very cute. Most of these looks are nice, but no one is wowing me, I'm not sure who a few of these people are–who is the chick in the dress under Rihanna's pic? She looks like a mix of Julissa and Christina Agulera. Tocorra is killing me with the non-supporting bra otherwise her look would be fab.
June is wearing on H&M dress for those interested. Still in stores everwhere.
John Legend looks amazing.
Common baby, if you're gonna rock a beard, think more "Rick Ross" and less "Freeway, fresh outta prison". And why does John Legend stand like the sleeves of his suits are cut too low? Man can't even bring his arms down by his sides!
@ Sticky-n-Sweet, Funny!
Oh, by the way, Clarie, when trying to post on your site, I receive this message daily: "Duplicate comment detected". Why is this message appearing when I post once and not twice?
Glamorous Goddess
Tocarra looks gorgeous. Bad posture aside.
is that reese witherspoon with the blonde hair because she is giving me EVERYTHING
Thank u for posting Rebecca Ferguson – I love her style!
Tocarra's posture completely threw that outfit off :/
Word to Rihanna "Please What Else Is On"? (In Her Take A Bow Voice) lol your label mate Rita Ora has slayyyyeeedd you this week.
I love Toccara and June's looks!
Tocarra lookin shell bell…# crazy
Kelly so gorg!
Rihanna needs to call her stylist
i have always hated tocarras shape/ Body!. She needs body magic or something.
Anybody see the detail on Mr Burkes Jacket? that is HOT
LOL @ the "please, what else is on" comment… I definitely heard her voice while reading it. That outfit definitely needs to take a bow, and not in a good way.
I love Zoe's trench! Simplicity at its best! Toccara also looks great, but as most mentioned above, bad posture + lack of support from her bra takes away from the look. Great print, though!
Lastly, loving Rita's shoes.

Effingham downed Paris 59-38 Monday night continued both of its impressive winning streaks.
The Lady Hearts won their 19th consecutive game in the victory while moving to 23-3, and also inched closer to a perfect record for the season in the Apollo Conference.
Thursday's game with Salem is all that stands between the Hearts and a 10-0 conference record.
"We know that Salem's waiting again," said Effingham coach Jeff Schafer. "They're (so) athletic."
They started quickly, taking a 10-2 lead. The Hearts attacked the Tiger defense inside, as Stephanie Robb scored five points against the Paris zone in the first quarter.
The offense kept switching from Heart to Heart. After Robb's early success, the offensive burden went from Josie Zerrusen to Kelli Utz.
Effingham initially struggled containing Salem's Megan Temples, but the Hearts' press eventually started to catch up with Paris.
The press, along with the Hearts' balance on offense, pushed Effingham out to a 40-20 lead after the first half.
"We pick our spots with it. It seems to make us play harder," Schafer said. "That's the depth of our team. If they're going to try and shut one person down, then we've got someone else to step up."
The pace of play slowed dramatically in the second half, as both offenses struggled and the physical nature of the play increased.
Paris began to close the gap in the third quarter, cutting the lead to 45-32 in the quarter's final seconds.
But Utz hit a jumper to beat the buzzer and gave Effingham a 47-32 lead going into the fourth.
The Tigers cut it to 13 one more time, but Zerrusen scored seven points in the fourth quarter and Effingham was never seriously challenged.
"I thought we had a really good first half," Schafer said. It was a really hard second half for kids to play. We never got into any kind of flow offensively.
Zerrusen led the way with 21 points. Robb had 10 points as they went away from the inside play as the game went on, and Utz had 13 points.
The senior point guard was pressured by multiple defenders throughout the night, but still directed the offense and hit all three of her three-point attempts on the night.
"I would just like for her to shoot more," Schafer said. "She's shooting above 50 percent (from three), but that's just her, she's just so unselfish."
Temples finished with 19 points to lead Paris on the night.
Effingham's conference finale begins at about 7:30 p.m. Thursday against Salem.
Effingham 59, Paris 38
Paris 13 7 12 6 - 38
Effingham 17 23 7 12 - 59
Paris - Rios 7, Temples 19, N. Tyler 2, Hoffman 3, B. Tyler 5, Hopper 2
Effingham - Utz 13, Weiser 2, Totten 2, Stephenson 5, Kaufman 5, Robb 10, Field 1, Zerrusen 21

3.23/5 rDev -23.6%
So I came here with a few other BAs in December as part of a Philly-area bar crawl excursion and I was extremely disappointed with the place. Right from the start, we spent quite a bit of time waiting to be seated at a table on a not so busy night - there were tables available but it took them a long time to bus and seat us.
After we were finally seated, we were presented with a menu with a fairly large selection of beers - awesome! In reality, however, our choice of beer kept getting shot down by our server as they were no longer available - not so awesome. Giving up with the menu, I mentioned a beer off one of the taps I saw while waiting to be seated. The server didn't seem to know what I was talking about so I had to physically show her the tap, only to be told that it wasn't actually available on tap. At this point, I gave up and had her recommend me a beer since she would know what was available.
The high point of the experience was the food - they certainly do know how to make good schnitzel.

I've always loved going to Ludwig's. The waitresses are dolled up and the beer is always great. Obviously it has a focus on the German styles, but there will always be a good selection of domestic and imports. Plus Victory brews a beer just for Ludwig's. The food is wonderful, true german meat and potato dishes. Don't go there looking for a meal at a great price, but if you have some extra cash and you're in center city, this a perfect place to start off your pub crawl as there are loads of great bars around the corner.

If you are into German food and, ahem, German beer (bier) then this is the place... And since it is around the corner from McGillin's (see my review) and is strategically located between Nodding Head (see review) and Fergie's, Ludwig's is perfectly situated for a Center City pubcrawl.
There are two sections: to the right, is the homey L-shaped bar surrounded by a smattering of booths and tables and stuffed to the rafters with all sorts of Bavarian paraphernalia; a larger and more formal dining area is to the left. In addition to deutsches bieres (Optimator, Fransiskaner and my personal favorite Kostritzer Black Lager), Ludwig's also offers several Belgians (Stella and Grimbergen) - all served in the appropriate glassware.
And the food is geschmact! Especially the wiener schnitzel, naturlich.

Stopped by here on a little center city pub crawl. The place was dark. Very dark. The waitress working this particluar afternoon was very friendly. The four of us in our party all ordered draft and were marveled by the selection of German beers on tap. Who would have thought a German bar would have German beers on tap. My one compadre who only drinks wheat beers was marveled by the fact that she had more than one choice when it came to draft. In addition the draft beers were all 22 oz glasses and only $5. Really great prices for center city.
All in all a great place with a great happy house.

This place was great. I never would have thought to go in but I had read from previous reviews that I would be surprised, and I was.
The atmosphere was amazing. It really felt like we had just stepped into a true German bar. The bartenders and german accents and dressed in german attire.
There were many types of beer. It was my first experience in a German bar so I let the bartender choose the beer for me. She did a great job and the price was not too high. I expected to pay a little bit more in this bar compared to a brewery and I did. They also sell, i guess you might call yards, where you could get multiple liters and everyone share from the spout.
All in all, I am glad I tried it out and cant wait to go back.

I've been down to Ludwig's quite a few times now...first to sample the beers and then to sample the food. I sought out this place because I knew that they had the delightful Spaten Optimator on tap and assumed that the rest of their selection would be just as good....I was not disappointed.
The food at Ludwig's is always amazing and everything is fresh and tasty. The Spaetzle are particularly delicious and they have over 4 different dishes with them. I am also a huge fan of the Sauerbraten, which they give you a huge portion of. The service is also good as they do not try and rush you out of their restaurant (which is great when you are trying to enjoy a nice pint).
The beer list comes separately in it's own book and they have a great selection including Oktoberfests, Hefeweizens, and Dobbelbachs. If you're a beer wuss, they also have domestic beers on tap if you don't want to sample anything from their extensive German beer selection. The last time I was there, they were featuring:
Spaten Optimator
Franziskaner Hefeweizen
Paulaner Dunkel Hefeweizen
Reissdorf Kolsch
Stella Artois
Warsteiner Pilsner
I'd recommend it to everyone. Great food, good atmosphere, AMAZING beer.

Stopped here a couple of times during a biz trip 2 weeks back. Upon entering you feel as though you are at a European tavern/restaurant. On the right is a upside down L-shaped bar. Probably about 14 bar chairs, and about 5 or 6 tables/booths. On the left is a good sized dining area with it's own bar. I only sat in the bar area.
Draught lines during my stay were:
Ramstein Dunkelweisse
Ramstein Maibock
Paulaner Salvator
Hofbrauhaus Lager
Gosser Blonde
Dinkelacker Pils
Spaten Optimator
Jever Pis
Warsteiner Dunkel
Franzikaner Dunkelweisses
I had about 5 different beers, all served in the proper glassware and at a good temperature.
In addition, they have a bunch of bottles, mostly European; including Augustiner. Has some appys while there and the potato pancakes were really good. Another nice touch is that the bar staff speak German.
When you are in Philly, try this place out, especially if you into German beers/food. One of the better German joints I have been too outside of Germany.

Visited this place on a very rainy night in Philadelphia. As it was raining and a Saturday night, I'm still amazed I was able to get a parking spot within walking distance of the Ludwig's.
Had not been here in some time, but the impression I had was that little has changed from when I was last here (several years ago). The restaurant is split between two large dining rooms, both with a nice size bar running along the back. The place was kind of dark and noisy the night I was there, hardly surprising (the noisy part) considering this was a Saturday night in Philly. This place always has a very solid selection of German Beers on tap, the best I've seen in the states. On the other hand, for some reason they were out of a couple of selections (Schneider weisse and a maibock I tried to order). That struck me as a bit odd, considering this was a Saturday night. Ludwig's also has a number of Belgium beers on tap now (now why does't THAT surprise me in Philadelphia?), consisting of a couple of lambics, the Hoegarten and Corsedonk Brown. I think they also had the Hennepin on tap as well.
The service was OK, though the bartender seemed a bit distracted. Nevertheless, I didn't have to wait long to get my sampler of 5 German beers, which I was happy to see included the Aventinus draft. The sampler is a pretty good deal, consisting of 5 8 oz. pours for $7.95.
All in all, I had a pretty good time at Ludwig's, and will certainly go back... though next time hopefully not on a Saturday night.

I've visited here many times, but never reviewed. This is a go to place for those in search of a real German bar.
When you first walk in, the sight of solid wood decor and women wearing lederhosen should tell you that this place takes its German roots seriously. They always have a great selection of Hefe's and Dopple's on tap, from Ayinger, Paulaner, Franziskaner, and many others.
They used to have a variety of house beers, most of them made by Victory especially for Ludwig's, but apparently Victory doesn't want to be bothered with that anymore.
Food is excellent, I recommend any of the Spaetzle's, as they have a great variety of them. The potato pancakes are also dynamite.

I visited this place with my wife and her uncle during a recent visit to Philly. We had hit up Monk's and nodding head already during the day. Guess who was picking our tour stops?
This bar is easy to find, with a large sign on the front wall and some flags as well. Entering the front door you can go to the right for an area more for bar experience, or to the left for a dining experienece.
The right side has mostly bar stools around the bar, maybe 18 or so, and then some small two seat tables and a few other seats. Not too accomodating, but like I said this is a bar side, grab a pint and stand its ok. The decor is kind of eastern european meets modern american. Ok modern in late 80s early 90s. I remember not thinking the black and white tile floor fit with everything else. We left and went to dine on the other side.
There is a rectangular bar on the dining side with about 15-20 stools and about thee same amount of taps, a mix of German brews and other Europeans, plus a few locals/regionals if I recall. There are several table and a row of booths as well. The booths have a wooden trellis frame over them draped with hop vines. They are real, but very old. I smelled them and the aroma is pretty dead.
We orderd some food, I had a pulled pork spatzl which I found to be delicious, my wife and her uncle enjoyed their dishes as well. I didnt write down their orders, but all was enjoyed. The bottle beer list is pretty immense, and although I wasnt able to get my first bottle order, there are plenty to choose from! Over 100 I think!
Our server was friendly and helpful with beer selections, and was aware that some bottles were out when they were ordered. I dont know how much she actually knew about the beers she recommended, but she tried.
You should hit this place up when in Philly. There are better places sure, but this is worth the stop if you like some brews other than Belgians.

Nature of Competition: The Canadian Idol Story
Five Minutes of Intensity to Succeed
The New Generation: A Culture of Lottery Ticket Dreams
Zack Werner has had an extensive career in the music industry as an artist, producer, entertainment lawyer and manager. But he is best known for his role as one of the judges on the hit TV show Canadian Idol.
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Monetizing Old and New Media
Nature of Competition: The Canadian Idol Story
Five Minutes of Intensity to Succeed
The New Generation: A Culture of Lottery Ticket Dreams
Zack Werner always tells it like it is. His personality fits perfectly in his role as a judge on the hit CTV show, Canadian Idol, where he pulls no punches when he critiques contestants' performances. As a musician and record company executive, he knows what it takes to be successful and isn't shy to offer his opinion.
Werner possesses extensive experience in the music industry as an artist, producer, and entertainment lawyer and manager. His management company includes artist clients such as Esthero, Ali Milner, The Johnstones, and producer James Robertson.
Although Werner has a law degree, his passion has always been music. After graduating from the University of B.C., he moved to Toronto and joined a band called The Ringing and secured a development deal with Capitol Records. He then formed a new group, Thick As Thieves, that went to Los Angeles to seek fortune and fame. They negotiated a distribution deal with BMG and opened for big-name rock acts like Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam. After the band broke up, Werner returned to Toronto and was signed by MCA as a solo artist.
Back in Toronto, Werner put his legal training to use by joining Sanderson Entertainment Law, the pre-eminent entertainment law firm in Canada with clients including international superstars such as Sum 41, Avril Lavigne, and Nelly Furtado. Werner quickly developed a strong reputation for finding and representing new talent. The Philosopher Kings, Ron Sexsmith, Sky, and Sass Jordan were some of his notable clients. He is also credited with presenting showcases that provided first-time exposure to record companies for new artists like K-OS, The Rascals, Sarah Harmer, and Finger 11.
Zack Werner strongly believes people need to be realistic about their dreams, and that true success within your field requires a spark of genius. His varied background in the music business, coupled with his work on Canadian Idol and representing Canada at the World Idol competition, allows him to know what will and what won't work in order to make it big.
His bold speaking style will leave audiences knowing how to succeed using teamwork, when to apply the proper amount of energy to get noticed, and the importance of setting achievable goals.

Water Services Department to conduct sewer rehab meeting
in Middle Blue River Basin Green Solutions Pilot Project area
Residents in the City's Middle Blue River Basin Green Solutions Pilot Project area are invited to attend a public meeting to learn about how upcoming sewer rehabilitation work will impact daily activities and what residents should do during construction times. Residents will also be able to obtain information about construction activities in or near their property from the contractor.
Hosted by the City's Water Services Department, the meeting is scheduled for Saturday, July 17th at 9 am at the Sunrise Christian Assembly Church, 1112 E. 77th Street Kansas City, Missouri.
The Water Services Department has been working to make progress on the entire Middle Blue River Green Solutions Pilot Project, which includes repairing the existing sewer system. Construction will begin this summer to make those repairs.
The 100-acre pilot project is located within the Middle Blue River Basin and is bounded by 73rd Street to 77th Terrace and Holmes Road to Paseo Boulevard. The project involves rehabilitating the existing sewer system and using green solutions to capture stormwater before it enters the combined sewer system to reduce the amount of sewer overflows. Green solutions are an alternative to more traditional gray stormwater improvements such as storage tanks and pumping facilities. There are more than 300 property owners in the pilot project area.
For more information about the Middle Blue River Basin Green Solutions Pilot Project, visit the web site at www.kcmo.org/targetgreen, e-mail the Overflow Control Program at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call (816) 513-0521.
The Kansas City, Missouri Water Services Department maintains and operates drinking water treatment and distribution systems, stormwater management and control systems and wastewater collection and treatment systems for residential and business customers in the Kansas City region. Operation is funded entirely by fees charged to customers based on their use of products and services, not by taxes.

You have a system that has multiple components and they have to communicate. They do that either via internal web services or using a message queue. Normally, you would want to send (data transfer) objects from one component to another. Three typical examples:
- a user has registered and you send a message to a message queue and whenever the message is consumed, an email is sent to the user. The message needs the user at least the email and names of the user.
- if your layers communicate via web services for some reason (rather than live within one JVM), on registration the web layer needs to invoke a back-end service and pass a User object.
- you store objects in some (distributed) in-memory cache in order to reduce redundant calls to the database (assuming you map your database results to objects in some way, either an ORM or some mapper, but this is done in the majority of cases). So when a request arrives asking for a user profile, you check if it's present in the cache, and if it is – you get it from there, rather than hitting the database.
In order to achieve these things you need to serialize the objects to some format that will then be deserialized on the other end. Many frameworks include XML and JSON serializers and they are used in many examples online. Therefore people are inclined to use JSON or XML for these purposes. And that's not a good idea. Using these formats internally has no benefit – you don't actually need the serialized objects to be human-readable, and if you need to read the message contents, then you have the facilities to deserialize it and print it to a log file.
But there are major drawbacks – speed and size. Both formats are text-based (so that they can be human-readable), which means they are unnecessarily verbose. Yes, JSON is less verbose than XML, but it's still a text format that you don't need. Instead, in most cases you'd better use binary serialization. Almost any binary serialization is better. I have evaluated a couple and the ease of use + speed and size benefits made me choose MessagePack. But you can also use protobuf, bson , avro or whatever fits your project.
Yes, I know, I also said "this is probably a micro-optimization". And then I ran some benchmark on our messages to see the time and size saved. I don't remember the exact figures, but MessagePack was a lot faster and had a lot smaller message size, and seeing the results made me go straight into coding a
MessagePackConverter to replace the
JSONConverter. It is a pretty small change for the huge impact it has on the whole system. And given the high volume of messages that our system needs to serialize and deserialize, spending one day on integrating MessagePack is totally worth it – after all that would allow you to process or store (say) twice as many messages with the same hardware (compared to JSON).
There are, of course, some things to consider, like versioning of the objects (if you add a field, does the deserialization of old messages break? In messagePack it does if the field is primitive, so you need a custom template to handle that) or if you are in a multi-language environment – is the deserialization library supported by all languages. Also, you usually have to let the serializer know the structure of your objects in advance, so here's some additional code/annotations to populate the serializer context. But all of these are included in the "one day" mentioned above that I spent for integrating MessagePack.
And it is probably a good idea to mention that if you are exposing an API to 3rd parties, you can't rely on these serializers – your API should be JSON/XML, because there it needs to be human-readable and it needs to be supported in every language.
But unless you totally don't care about your resources (probably because it's a system with little usage), seriously consider a binary serialization mechanism for your internal messaging, APIs, caching, etc.

Emmett and Laura Beasley own Mr. Appliance of Richmond. They see first hand what breaks most often. For dishwashers, the pump will, quite often, need repair or replacement. How much?
"Typically, the range is about $150 to $225," said Emmett Beasley.
For clothes dryers, "it's a fairly inexpensive fix. A lot of the times, it's the heating element itself."
In the washing machine, it's the pump that will most likely fail. It costs about $250 to fix. It's Emmett's professional opinion that you don't need an extended warranty on clothes washers, dryers or dishwashers.
Those pesky icemakers - they are the most common culprit for refrigerator trouble.
"Within 3-4 years, 36% of side-by-side refrigerators with icemakers had at least one incident where they had to be repaired," said Emmett Beasley.
Repairs of this nature cost hundreds - but so do warranties. Because of the common rate of repair, refrigerators are a good candidate for an extended warranty. The more your appliance costs, the more you may want to consider more coverage.
"If you have a more exotic or high end appliance...in that case, you want at look at extending protection as long as possible,"
Make sure the extended warranty costs no more than 20% of the original purchase price.
If you get an extended warranty, make sure you know when it goes into effect. Many start the day of purchase, and you could lose a year of coverage because it overlaps the manufacturer's warranty. If you buy using a credit card, check your terms of agreement. Some credit cards offer extended warranties as well.
