text: I'm not much of a Queensryche fan, at one point I was and quickly bought up all of their albums (save the EP and Hear in the Now Frontier), but quickly got bored with most of their material, yes, even "Operation: Mindcrime" (which seems like a adolecent rebelion album) and their Radio friendly "Empire", since I've never cared much for commercial stuff.The story goes that after their commercial success with "Empire", Queensryche felt really lost, as if they'd reached their goal only to find that it wasn't really what they wanted, hence the dark thematic semi-concept album (at about the level you would call the average Rush album, like Counterparts, a concept album) that revolves around themes of incontentment and depression.A friend of mine meantioned Promised Land, which he wasn't very much into at the time, but in my haste, I picked it up anyway, and I'm glad I did. With a band that offers a totally new sound every album, like 'Ryche, you're often left wondering, "Why didn't they stick with this and develope off of this style?", to me, at least, this is the album they should have developed their style off of. I keep thinking I'm going to hear other songs on other albums that remind me of this, as most bands don't just pick up a new style all at once, but aside from some tinges on O:MC and Empire, there is no Promised Land aside from Promised Land.It's not the sort of album that I find myself putting in the player every other week, I tend to have PL binges when I rediscover it's incredible energy and extreme depth of sound. I don't take fault in this, it's not an album for every mood or time in your life, and rediscovery only hightens it's amaizment.A few weeks ago, I rediscovered this album after getting really into Pink Floyd, and realized the influence Floyd really have on this album. In many ways, the title track could be a cross between Animals and A Momentary Lapse in Reason ("Just Another Movie" or the "New Machine" trilogy come to mind), if you close your eyes, Tate even sounds a bit like Gilmour, and it's got wailing sax and everything! Other songs offer similar colors and moods. "Disconnected" reminds me a lot of modern day Tool, but with a uniqueness all it's own… in fact, this song really comes out of the blue for 'Ryche, there's nothing else remotely like it. "I Am I" is probably the one that comes anywhere near sounding like "Disconnected", and has a lot of great hooks, as well as some infinitely deep production. "Damage" is a highly overlooked track that has one of the heaviest bass riffs I've ever heard. Some other great tracks include "One More Time Around" which is probably the most "Empire" sounding track on this album, and "Someone Else?" which has also recently been re-released in a full band version that is very cool, both versions are very good, and are very beautiful. The only track that doesn't do it for me is "My Global Mind" in which some pretty terrible lyrics just get in the way, which is uncommon for Queensryche.Now, I know that many diehard Queensryche fans don't hold this album very highly, and if you fit this description, you may or may not be pleased by it. I contest to being a pretty big old school (as well as the new stuff) progressive rock fan, and this album fits right in there. It isn't progmetal the way Dream Theater or Fates Warning are, it's much closer to early Marillion (as well as Brave) or, as I said earlier, a heavy metal version of Pink Floyd.If you really like this album, I highly recommend the following, which include some similar qualities:Tool – "Lateralus" or "Ænima"Pain of Salvation – "The Perfect Element part 1″Devin Townsend – "Ocean Machine: Biomech" or "Terria"Pink Floyd – "A Momentary Lapse in Reason"Marillion – "Clutching At Straws" or "Brave"Fates Warning – "A Pleasant Shade of Gray"Behind the Curtain – "'Till Birth Do Us Part"

Temple Students were hoping for a change of heart, now they're heartbroken after the university refuses to back off drastic cuts to its sports programs.
FOX 29's Thalia Perez was at today's board meeting. She joins us live on campus where students say they won't give up.
Lily Papalo says she was holding out hope today that school officials would reverse their decision to eliminate a third of varsity sports programs, but instead at today's board of trustee's meeting,
"I just want to know why they just approved borrowing three million dollars when we just saved 3-million by cutting all of our teams," Papalo said. "It's only been a couple of days. But, it feels like forever. And I don't know what I'm going to do."
Temple University President Neil Theobald expressed his sincere regret and laid out the options for student athletes to consider whose teams are being cut.
Extra chairs were set up to accommodate the startling number of student athletes who showed up for today's meeting. They listened showing little emotion as Theobald addressed the sport's cuts for about 5-minutes by reading a written statement.
"Our student athletes and coaches are the casualties of Temple University's overreach in trying to operate an athletic program beyond its facilities and resources," Theobald said.
But President Theobald's words were of no comfort to students who say they want answers.
"There are a lot of questions I know from me and my fellow student athletes that haven't been addressed at all. For us this meeting was pretty much a waste of time," Baseball Player Adam Dian said.
And even students who tried to confront school officials with questions were dismissed.
"We wanna know what it's going to take because there are people here that are willing to go the extra mile," Baseball Player Derek Peterson said.

The opening day of the 2012 Wyndham Championship from North Carolina's Sedgefield Country Club is set to begin bright and early on Thursday morning, as a stacked field of golfers will enter in search of coveted FedEx points heading into next week's PGA Championship.
Thursday's opening round will send three-man groups off both of Sedgefield's nine hole tracks starting at 7:00 a.m. EST.

Hoping to get things rolling for next week's big major championship, Simpson is anxious to be back near his hometown of Raleigh with a chance to build plenty of momentum. "I was looking forward to this week ever since last year winning here," Simpson told the media on Wednesday. "All my memories here are just awesome."

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) - Clemson coach Dabo Swinney understands this won't be the usual run-of-the-mill road trip when the third-ranked Tigers travel to Syracuse for the first time.
Swinney says he'll change his team's typical road protocol by going through a brief walk-through Friday at the Carrier Dome after the team arrives in upstate New York. By Saturday, Swinney expects it to be business as usual for the Tigers (4-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference).
Clemson is looking for its second 5-0 start in the last three years.
Although some Tigers might need a quick geography lesson before departing.
Clemson offensive lineman Brandon Thomas thought the New York Giants shared the field with Syracuse, which is about a four-hour drive north of the NFL team's MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Sheets can be made from many different fabrications. Various fibers and weaves are ultimately responsible for the particular performance characteristics of a sheet set.
Thread Count
Quality sheets are often defined by the thread count of the fabric. Thread count is the number of woven threads in one square inch of fabric. Higher thread counts create higher-quality, more durable weaves that generally feel smoother and softer. Lower thread counts can pill and feel rough, but are affordable and aptly serve their purposes. Common thread counts range from 180 to 1,200. While important, thread count does not alone determine how a fabric performs and feels. Also consider the yarn size and ply when determining the level of quality you desire.
Make sure you have precisely measured your mattress for its length, width and height. Most mattresses are usually made in specific standard sizes, but there is the possibility of slight variances. Deep pockets will be required for Eurotop or pillow top mattresses.

MERRIMAC — A sex offender believed to sell crack cocaine in the Greater Newburyport area and known on the streets as "Snoop Dogg" was arrested Wednesday at his girlfriend's Greenleaf Park apartment, marking the culmination of a month-long operation, according to local police.
Peter Serrano, 34, of 790 Main St., No. 2, Haverhill, was arraigned yesterday at Newburyport District Court on four counts of class B drug possession (crack cocaine) with intent to distribute, four counts of conspiring to violate drugs laws and a heroin possession charge. He also had a warrant for his arrest out of Haverhill District Court for not registering as a sex offender. He is being held on $10,000 cash bail and is due back in court Nov. 15 for a pretrial hearing.
According to Merrimac police Chief Eric Shears, Serrano was arrested Wednesday around 5:30 p.m. inside his girlfriend's Greenleaf Park apartment, where he had been staying, after selling an undercover police officer $120 worth of crack cocaine. At the same time, police arrested his girlfriend, Tyla J. Ellis, 26, of 4A Greenleaf Park, Merrimac.
Ellis was charged with distributing a class B substance, possession of a class E substance and a previous warrant for reckless endangerment of a child. Shears said the child endangerment charge is based on Ellis allegedly bringing her 7-year-old daughter along on one of the drugs deals conducted by her boyfriend. In surveillance photos included in court documents, Ellis is shown driving Serrano back to their apartment building and walking with him and her daughter, shortly before one of the alleged drug buys. At her arraignment at the Newburyport courthouse, Ellis was released on personal recognizance until a pretrial hearing scheduled for Nov. 15.
At the time of Serrano's arrest, police found 23 crack cocaine rocks with a street value of $690, marijuana and $586 in cash, including $120 Merrimac police had used to purchase four crack cocaine rocks, according to Shears.

Where to go for assistance
If you are having issues with your off-campus landlord or property manager it is always a good idea to start out with the local legal aid society.
Legal Aid Society of Eastern Virginia
(Cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth) at (757) 627-5423
When living off-campus one of the most important relationships you can have is with your landlord. If you have a strong relationship with your landlord, you will probably find living off campus quite nice and enjoyable. However, problems with your relationship with your landlord can create a myriad of problems.
Getting to know your landlord
Spend some time with your landlord talking about the complex; this will help you learn more bout where you will be living and let's the landlord know that you are serious about living here. Having open communication can help makes problems easier to overcome when they arise. It is also common for the landlord at some communities to actually live as a member of the community.
Landlord Responsibilities
Remember, there are certain things which your landlord is required by law to do and provide. While all of these provisions are outlined in the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, here are a few highlights about their rights and responsibilities:
- Application Fee and Deposit. Any landlord may require an application fee and a separate application deposit.
- Insurance Requirements. A landlord may require as a condition of tenancy that a tenant have insurance coverage at a certain value.
- Privacy. A landlord may not disclose or release any information about a tenant, prospective tenant, or a third party without tenant consent (unless a matter of public record).
- Inspection of Premises. A landlord must submit a written report to the tenant within five days of occupancy itemizing existing damages at the time of occupancy.
- Disclosure of Mold. A landlord must disclose to the tenant if there is any visible evidence of mold in the interior of the dwelling unit.
- Maintain Fit Premises. There are many specific items that a landlord must maintain; such as adhere to building codes; keep the premises clean and habitable; maintain electrical, plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, etc.; prevent moisture and mode; etc.
Tenant Responsibilities
It is important to remember that while your landlord does have responsibilities, you as the tenant also have responsibilities and obligations.
- The Lease. You are responsible for reading and understanding any lease or agreements that you legally enter in to. If you do not read the lease, you cannot get mad at the landlord later because you did not do what you were supposed to do. Make sure that you thoroughly read the lease and have the landlord review it with you; it is important that you both have the same understanding of what is being agreed to.
- Paying Your Rent. It is your responsibility to pay your rent payment by the due date. Landlord are permitted to charge late penalties immediately if a payment is not made on time and then refer your case to a lawyer as they move forward with eviction...it doesn't even matter if you are only five days late; late is late.
- Take care of your property! While you are only a renter and are not obligated for the general upkeep of the property, you are responsible to ensure that you leave the complex in the same condition that you received it. While you may want to spend some time painting or making the place your home, make sure you talk with your landlord about what you are and are not allowed.
- Maintenance Repairs. You may not be responsible for general maintenance repairs (fixing a leaking pipe, repairing a cracked wall, etc.); however, you are responsible for notifying your landlord of required maintenance. If you ignore a problem and let it go unnoticed it may cause additional damage! Your landlord also has the right to routinely enter your apartment to make necessary repairs with, and sometimes without, prior notice.
Things to do before signing the lease
- Make sure that your renter's insurance is up to date and meets the requirements of the landlord (if applicable).
- Ask to take a copy of the lease home to review; have a friend or unbiased party review it with you to make sure you aren't missing anything. Once it is signed you cannot undo it!
- Check your finances; make sure you can afford it for the full length of the agreement.
- Call the power company and find out how much the previous tenants typically spent on electricity; this will help give you an idea of what you will have to spend.
- Check out the neighborhood at night to make sure you are comfortable there. If it looks nice during the day, but you wouldn't want to go outside alone at night it probably isn't right for you.
- Check out the crime map on the ODU PD website to see how safe the neighborhood is.
- Take a test drive; try driving to and from the apartment to campus to around your normal class times to determine if you are able to make the commute (if you are looking at a place on a Sunday afternoon it will take you a lot more time to get there on a Friday at 4:00 p.m.).
- Talk to your friends and family; everyone has their own stories and experiences that may be of benefit to you before you enter into a legally binding lease.
Important questions for tenants to ask a landlord
- What are the dates of the lease (i.e. the date you can take occupancy and the date you need to move out)?
- Is subleasing permitted? If so, what is that policy?
- What utilities are included with my rent?
- What if I need to break my lease; is there a provision for that?
- When is rent due? What if I am a few days late on paying rent?
- What is the community like?
- Are there fire extinguishers provided in each apartment?
- Are the buildings on a central fire alarm system or individual smoke detectors?
- What types of security does the facility provide (i.e. security guards at night; gates to the community; dead bolt locks in the apartments, etc.)?

Is he targeting the reform? He thinks people are trying to make these reforms and doesn't like it, so that's what he's targeting? Or has he targeted those things FOR reform?
The comma is NOT options if there are three targets. If the other two are explanations of the first, then another type of punctuation, perhaps an em-dash, is needed.

Temple Exchanges
University Of Science and Technology, China
about the university
The University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) was established in 1958 under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The university is noted for its advanced science and technology programs, unique management studies and well tailored disciplines in the humanities. USTC's educational philosophy is based on an academic curriculum that combines teaching with research and integrates theory with practice. As a result, USTC has produced a large number of highly accomplished graduates and many significant, internationally recognized research results.
ABOUT THE CITY OF Hefei
Hefei is an historical city located in the central area of Anhui Province with a population of 4 million. Hefei is a youthful, yet time-honored city made up of broad avenues, beautiful landscapes, modern constructions and historical relics. As the capital city of Anhui Province, hefei is the center of politics, economy, education, culture, information, finance, commerce, and communication. It is also a national education base and one of the three technology innovation pilot cities.
The primarly language of instruction is Chinese. There are a no courses offered in English, and this exchange is not appropriate for students who need to take their courses in English. For students proficient in Chinese, USTAC offers a broad range of courses in science, engineering, technology and mathematics.
In advance of their departure, Temple University students pay Temple tuition to Temple University. On site, exchange students are responsible for the cost of housing, meals, transportation, insurance and living expenses. Temple students receiving financial aid may apply their financial aid to the costs of studying at USTC. Students should plan on spending approximately $1,200 for housing, $1,200 for meals, $1,500 for other living expenses (recreation, local travel, etc), and $100 for books per semester. In addition, expect roundtrip airfare to cost about $1,800, and students may need to pay for visa-related expenses and health insurance.

Were it not all so bitter and vexed, we might owe Luis Suárez and Patrice Evra a big thank you. In happier circumstances, a basket of fruit might not go amiss. Because it was remarkably selfless of them to recognise that unless they did something drastic, those of us that were unfortunate enough to sit through Manchester United's visit to Liverpool might be cursed by actually having to remember it.
Fortunately, the game is already a footnote. Alex Ferguson escapes scrutiny for his tinkering (our own Kevin McCauley excepted), just as Kenny Dalglish does for Liverpool's paucity of imagination and his baffling unwillingness to make any changes. Andy Carroll can spend another week being paid for being a footballer without having to do any of the actual footballing. Stewart Downing and Charlie Adam's special relationship with the concepts of honesty and gravity can be overlooked, as can Rio Ferdinand's galloping twilight and Ryan Giggs's wandering crotch. And Dimitar Berbatov? La tristesse durera ...
This is not me taking racism lightly. But since I have exactly as much idea as you do about what was and wasn't said, there isn't much to get our teeth into there. (Steps neatly around Suárez joke.) If Evra is shown to be telling the truth, then Suárez is a despicable human being; if Evra is shown to be lying, then he's a nasty piece of work. If it can't really be proven either way, then everyone can go on hating each other and the world will keep turning. We shall see.
But two things. First, the call from Liverpool for Evra to receive a ban if the allegations can't be proved is dangerous in its idiocy. It is a recurring and terrifying trope of such matters that "the real problem is false allegations of racism, rather than racism" (see also: every other kind of discrimination, rape), and so to equate a lack of proof with falsehood. This attitude is particularly popular among the more reductive and vicious pages of the right-wing press, but is by no means confined to such. Such an attitude acts as a powerful disincentive for anybody actually on the receiving end: if you report this, but proof is found lacking, then you will be punished. Given the general problems with proof in such matters -- he said it no I didn't yes he did no I didn't -- it is imperative that we accept the possibility that we may never know, as unsatisfactory as that may be.
The other point is the dispiriting glimpse into the world of football support with which we have been blessed. As noted by Alexander Netherton, once of this parish, a vocal portion of fans now seem to view themselves as a de facto propaganda wing of their club, and watching the troops line up behind their man has reinforced his point. So United fans piled into the fray, pointing to Suárez's litany of transgressions (biting, diving, ruining the World Cup for everybody that wasn't Uruguayan) and rallying to Evra's cause. In the other red corner, Liverpool fans pointed to Evra's turbulent summer and history of "playing the race card", in their haste failing to note that on both previous occasions the card had been played by other people. But then, that's just typical of the man. Too lazy to play his own race cards? How very French.
There is a peculiar kind of loyalty at work here: very similar to the loyalty expected of the population of a nation to its armed forces. It is supine, it is quiescent, and most importantly it is unquestioning. Dissent is met with suspicion, sustained dissent is equated with treachery. A peculiar feature of English discourse (and I suspect other countries too, though experience circumscribes comment) is that an individual becomes a hero simply by joining the army; that heroism is a quality attainable not through any specific "heroic" action but simply by occupying a certain "heroic" space. This is not to say becoming a soldier isn't brave, but heroism and bravery are different things, and the latter requires both context and purpose to become the former, else the word's meaningless. Putting a uniform on a bastard doesn't make him any less so, it just means that there is a self-interested pressure to provide unwavering fealty. Because I support my country/team, I must unthinkingly venerate all those who represent my country/team, lest my support for my country/team be exposed as a sham.
And those who rush to the (quite literally ignorant) defence of either Evra or Suárez, doing so simply because he plays for us whereas he plays for them, are falling into the same trap. The fallacy is easily exposed in both instances simply by reversing the positions: if Evra played for Liverpool and Suárez for United, then everyone would be enthusiastically marching in the opposite direction, just as enemy soldiers can be never heroes, however heroic their actions, by simple virtue of being on the wrong side.
The point is not to say that either Evra or Suárez is, in this instance, a bad person -- we don't know -- but to make it clear that they could be, regardless of who they play for. So in the interests of attempting to restore a little bit of sanity to a cripplingly insane world, let's all admit a perhaps unpleasant truth. If you have supported a professional football club in England for any significant period of time, then at some point you're more than likely to have cheered and clapped a few, maybe more, of the following: racists, sexists, homophobes, bigots, petty criminals, bad husbands, bad fathers, adulterers, tax dodgers, wife-beaters, liars, people who don't close the tops of cereal boxes, Conservatives, and instances of any of the other shades and shapes of the evil that men do. The world is full of such people. Some of them will be good at football, sometimes for your team. Recognising that doesn't make you any less of a fan, but it makes you an infinitely more respectable human being.
The Premier League takes so much from its fans -- money, time, effort -- that it is imperative not to let it take rationality, or dignity, or simple common sense. Sometimes your
heroes players dive, sometimes they cheat, and maybe sometimes they're racist, or liars. You don't have to defend a racist/liar, just because they wear your favourite shirt; you can support your club yet keep your brain as well. Passion doesn't preclude perspective.

New course version commenced 2012.
Deakin's Bachelor of Education (Primary) is one of the School of Education's core teacher education programs, and focuses on initial professional studies in primary education for school leavers and other entrants who do not already have a degree or diploma.
The course covers all areas of primary curriculum including English language, mathematics, science, arts, social education, health and physical education, and technology, and contains a strand of six elective units which provides the opportunity to build breadth of knowledge in areas of interest.
As a graduate of this course you will be equipped to teach young people the knowledge, skills, understandings and values to enable them to make sense of, and contribute to, the world now and in the future. Our aim is for graduates to be professional educators who see themselves as being responsible for the intellectual, physical, social, emotional, ethical, spiritual and aesthetic development, and wellbeing of their students.
Study towards a creative, rewarding and challenging career and develop your skills in communication, leadership, organisation, management and information technology.
Deakin offers many courses which can be studied by distance education overseas.
However, international students living in Australia must, in each compulsory trimester (that is, Trimesters 1 and 2), enrol in at least one unit that is offered as a Campus located unit and can, in addition enrol in units offered via Cloud (online). International students are not permitted to do more than 25% of their total course via Cloud (online) learning. Best practice is to enrol in mostly Campus located units in each compulsory trimester.
In a non-compulsory trimester (Trimester 3), international students may study Cloud (online) units only.
Approved by the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) as a preservice teaching qualification.
Graduates of this course will qualify for a degree in primary teaching which will meet the registration requirements for the Victorian Institute of Teaching and other state teacher registration boards in Australia, as well as the Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL).
International students and permanent residents
Graduates of this course who are intending to apply for registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) will be required to demonstrate an IELTS of an average band score of 7.5 across all four skill areas where there is no score below 7 in any of the four skills areas and a score of no less than 8 in speaking and listening. You are advised to read the VIT's Qualification for Teachers Registration policy carefully which is available at: Further information
Graduates of this course have found careers in Australian and overseas primary schools (where VIT registration is recognised) at all year levels, in government departments, public service, health and welfare organisations and the media as well as in private academies and agencies.
The Bachelor of Education (Primary) course has a 32 credit point structure made up of 26 core and 6 elective units. Students must complete core and elective units.

The WWCC must remain current throughout the course. It is an offence under the Working with Children Act 2005 (Vic.) to engage in school experience without holding a WWCC.
Students who are given a negative assessment notice will be advised of alternative options for tertiary study due to their inability to satisfy the professional experience requirements of the course.
It is the responsibility of students undertaking placements outside Victoria to enquire about and, where necessary, to meet any similar legislative or other requirements concerning working with children.

Students will be required for VIT registration purposes (and for the award of the degree) to have completed over the duration of their course, a minimum of 80 days of supervised school (professional) experience.
Professional experience is embedded within the seven Professional Studies units - these units are coded ETP. This provides opportunities for you to integrate the theoretical aspects of the program with classroom practice. To complete the degree and register as a teacher you will need to have successfully completed over the duration of the course, a minimum of 80 days of supervised school experience.
Students must obtain a copy of the Professional Experience Handbook each year from the Professional Experience Office on your home campus. This handbook is also available at www.deakin.edu.au/arts-ed/education/schoolexp

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- How satisfied are you with your cable service?
In late 2012, Louisville Metro government paid a consultant $65,516 to survey Jefferson County residents on that and many other issues related to Metro's franchise with Insight Communications / Time Warner Cable.
The "needs assessment" was commissioned as a starting point for negotiating a new long-term franchise agreement, which imposes conditions on the cable operator in exchange for access to the city's rights of way.
The consultant found three out of four Insight / Time Warner subscribers were "satisfied" with the service, but there are still issues to address like how long it takes a customer service representative to answer a call and how changes to rates and programming are communicated.
Yet, more than a year later, there's been no apparent movement by either the city or Time Warner Cable to update the franchise, which was last negotiated in 1998 and has been extended on an interim basis since its initial expiration in 2010.
Now, with Time Warner Cable slated to be acquired by Comcast Corp. for $45 billion, the languishing franchise is likely to come under scrutiny again later this year because Metro government has the power to approve the transfer of the franchise.
Metro Council President Jim King said the council could start dealing with the franchise issue as soon as this summer, but he noted the Comcast-Time Warner deal has several regulatory hurdles to pass before it's finalized.
King said it's "premature" to talk about what Louisville should ask for in a new franchise agreement, but he would at least like to see a smoother transition to Comcast than customers experienced when Insight was taken over by Time Warner Cable.
"It's my hope that when we go to the Comcast platform that we don't go through the same level of pain for the subscribers," King said, noting that many customers had to change long-held email addresses provided as part of their Internet service.
But even the pending transfer from Time Warner Cable to Comcast doesn't necessarily mean a new, long-term cable deal will be negotiated this year, said Pat Mulvihill, Mayor Greg Fischer's general counsel and point person on negotiations.
Under state law, the 1998 franchise deal can be extended until 2018, he said.
Asked why Metro government doesn't appear to be pushing for a new franchise, Fischer spokesman Chris Poynter said: "These types of deals are very complicated and often take years to negotiate… And now with another merger on the table, things sort of go into idle as you try figure out where things are headed."
For its part, Time Warner Cable "continue(s) to work with the city to reach an agreement to renew our franchise," TWC spokesman Mike Pedelty said in an email. "And later this year, we will pursue any regulatory approvals that may be necessary for transferring control of the franchise to Comcast."
A Comcast spokesman did not respond to a request for comment on Friday.
In February 2012, Metro government got a $3.5 million payment from Insight to keep the old cable franchise valid so that the $3 billion sale from Insight to Time Warner Cable could go through.
Fischer used the money to close a budget gap.
It's unclear whether Metro government would demand another one-time payment in connection with the transfer to Comcast. "Every franchise agreement is different. We were negotiating with a different company back then," Poynter said.
Metro Councilman Kevin Kramer, who chairs the Republican caucus, said Metro should try to get Comcast to provide services that are more related to the "normal course of their business" – like Internet links in public schools, Wi-Fi in public parks or subsidized Internet access for low-income residents.
Mulvihill cautioned that Metro government has no power over some of the issues that consumers might care about most.
For example, because of federal law, the city doesn't have any control over the cost of television service, he said.
The cost of cable was the only aspect of the service in which a majority of subscribers (56 percent) were not satisfied, according to the Metro government survey, which was conducted in December 2012 and January 2013 as part of the "needs assessment."
The 442 Insight / Time Warner Cable customers who responded to the survey said their average cable bill was $125 a month, though it's hard to isolate the cost of TV amid bundles that also include Internet and phone service, the consultant noted.
In its annual report to investors, Time Warner Cable said it received average revenue of $75 per TV subscriber and $44 per Internet subscriber in 2013.
Federal law also prevents Metro government from regulating anything to do with Internet service, Mulvihill said.
The franchise issues come as Fischer's administration is openly seeking vendors to install gigabit-speed Internet connections by wiring homes and businesses with fiber – just as Google is doing in a handful of areas like Kansas City.
Ted Smith, director of the Louisville Metro Department of Economic Growth and Innovation, said he thinks "incumbent" providers like Time Warner Cable and Comcast understand the desire of Louisville and other cities for faster Internet connections. There is no need to use the franchise process to get them to consider making upgrades, he said.
"I don't think it's going to require a lot of suggesting. I think it's a matter of the specific solution – the scope, the cost," Smith said.
One former Time Warner Cable customer, Louisville freelance writer Michelle Jones, said it's unfortunate the city cannot force the cable company to consistently provide its advertised Internet speeds, such as the 20 megabits per second service she had until switching to AT&T U-Verse in December.
Jones said she and her wife used to also subscribe to television through Time Warner Cable, but they dropped it after the total bill "magically" jumped from about $150 to $185 per month.
"We didn't change anything, the price just went up," she said, complaining of "opaque" bills that are difficult to understand.
The needs assessment said Insight / Time Warner Cable needs to improve "both the means and the message" when letting subscribers know of changes to rates and programming.

---- — BUFFALO — Steve Zacharczyk scored a goal in each half and the Plattsburgh State men's soccer team completed a SUNY Athletic Conference weekend sweep with a 4-1 victory over Buffalo State on Saturday.
The Cardinals, who have won five straight, improved to 15-1 overall and 6-1 in the conference. Plattsburgh remains in a first-place tie with Brockport, which rolled to a 5-1 win over Oswego on Saturday. With two home games left in conference play, Plattsburgh can finish no lower than third.
"It was a good game for us," said Plattsburgh coach Chris Waterbury. "Yesterday, we had a real emotional win against Fredonia. I give the guys credit for finishing the weekend real strong."
The Cardinals took the lead for good when Matt Hamilton found the back of the net with an indirect kick at 13:50 of the first half.
"Hamilton has been clinical on his free kicks," said Waterbury. "We were able to get on the board fairly early."
Zacharczyk then took a pass from Nick Parrella and went in one-on-one with Bengals' keeper Ian Huntoon to make it 2-0 at 30:50.
It became 3-0 with 13:49 gone in the second half when Jarred Antonucci found Parrella, who scored from 20 yards out.
The Bengals (1-12-1, 0-6-1), who were eliminated from post-season contention with the loss, got on the board 21:46 into the second on C.J. Scirto's goal. But Zacharczyk put the Cardinals back up by three goals with 9:09 left in the contest.
"We were up, 3-0, and carrying play," said Waterbury. "And we were getting a number of chances to get that fourth goal. So, it was a little disappointing when they scored."
Plattsburgh held a 19-5 shot advantage and a 10-1 advantage in corner kicks. Zack Kruizenga turned away three shots in the Cardinals' nets.
"Zack again did a good job," said Waterbury. "And I can't say enough about Jason Baker and Nick Pourakis in the back.
"Offensively, we were able to spread the wealth around and got goals from the bench."
The Cardinals return home to oppose Geneseo at 3 p.m. on Friday before a showdown with Brockport at 2 p.m. on Saturday to end conference regular season play.
"It's going to be a total showdown for sure," said Waterbury. "The winner over the weekend gets the top seed in the playoffs. But we can't afford to look past Geneseo."
Plattsburgh 4, Buffalo State 1
Plattsburgh 2 2 — 4
Buffalo State 0 1 — 1
First half- 1, PSU, Hamilton (Antonucci), 13:50. 2, PSU, Zacharczyk (Parrella), 30:50.
Second half- 3, PSU, Parrella (Antonucci), 13:49. 4, BS, Scirto, 21:46. 5, PSU, Zacharczyk, 35:51.
Shots: Plattsburgh 19, Buffalo State 5.
Saves: Kruizenga, PSU, 3. Huntoon, BS, 8.

Big Explosions and Shiny Things
E-commerce websites are some of the largest we create at Bronco, they can take months to develop and when they go live we're very happy to see them out in the wild.
In the past couple of weeks we've launched two new E-commerce websites; 1st Galaxy Fireworks and Italian Buttons. Two very different websites but both built to the high standards we set ourselves.
When it comes to the products and services our clients offer we at Bronco have no specialty. Some web agencies grow over time and find themselves a particular niche in which they excel. But at Bronco we're happy to turn our hand to anything where we think we can provide value.
In the past we've created websites that for vets, agricultural supplies, holidays, bathrooms, pharmacies, artists and even dentures. We've done this because we are genuinely interested in working on something new.
Though we don't specialise in the types of sites we do, we do have specialist knowledge in web design, development and SEO. In any project we bring this wealth of knowledge and then apply this to the knowledge a client has of their business, market and customers. Sprinkle in some extra information such as competitor research we have all the ingredients to create a fantastic website.
If you want to be our next new thing to learn about then get in touch and see what we can offer you.

Kirsten Schlewitzz is more than a SBNation.com Soccer editor. Much more. For example, she also contributes to SBNation Seattle and, convenient for this story, SB Nation's Aston Villa blog, 7500 to Holte.
There, Kirsten says Emile Heskey's knee injury, set to keep Gerard Houllier's first choice out three-to-four weeks, should give time to Villa's future, not Villa's past.
With Gabriel Agbonlahor still not recovered from groin surgery, even though the Villa said it would be a week, and John Carew having forgotten how to play football, unable to do the simple things like pass, Aston Villa are, in proper terms, "screwed." Discounting Carew--and I do, because he's actively hurt the team--Villa have just one striker left at their disposal:Nathan Delfouneso.
For the complete post, check out Kirsten's thoughts at 7500 to Holte. Here, there's a little more ground to cover:
Carew has been a Villa mainstay since 2007-08, the year after he moved to Villa Park from Olympique Lyonnais. Since, he has scored double-digit league goals each season, though he's unlikely to reach such heights this season. In seven league appearances, Carew has failed to score and has lost his spot in Villa's XI to Heskey.
Still, Carew did score for Norway in Euro 2012 qualifying during the last international break. Clearly has hasn't lost all of his mojo (perhaps only 99 percent of it). We have to consider more than one possibility here.
Carew may have lost a step, but this may also be able Villa's managerial situation. With Villa on their third manager since the start of preseason training, it's possible Carew's become unsettled. It's also possible the new man in charge has no idea how to use a still viable option, or he has instilled an approach that plays away from Carew's strengths.
It's also possible Nathan Delfouneso has become a better player.

Born in Scotland in 1951, Jack Vettriano took up painting as a hobby when he was 16. His first artworks were published under the name "Jack Hoggan" and were copies of impressionist paintings, such as Monet's "Poppy Fields." In 1988, he submitted his first two paintings to the annual Scottish Royal Academy show. Both paintings sold almost immediately.
His later works were not popular with art critics, but he is one of the most commercially successful artists alive today. His original paintings are sought after by art collectors and connoisseurs alike. Vettriano's most famous paintings, "Elegy for a Dead Admiral" and "The Singing Butler," are now available in framed, fine art prints at barewalls.com.

Eventually, all the muscles that a person can control (voluntary muscles) are affected. People with ALS lose the ability to move their arms, legs, mouth, and body. It may get to the point that the muscles used for breathing are affected, and the person might need a respirator (ventilator) in order to breathe.
For a long time it was believed that ALS only affected muscles. It is now known that some individuals with ALS experience changes in thinking (cognition), such as problems with memory and decision-making. The disease can also cause changes in personality and behavior, such as depression. ALS does not affect the mind or intelligence, or the ability to see or hear.
What Causes ALS?The exact cause of ALS is not known. In 1991, researchers identified a link between ALS and chromosome 21. Two years later, a gene that controls the enzyme SOD1 was identified as being associated with about 20% of the inherited cases in families. SOD1 breaks down free radicals, harmful particles that attack cells from the inside and cause their death. Since not all inherited cases are connected to this gene, and some people are the only ones in their families with ALS, other genetic causes may exist.
Who Gets ALS?People are most commonly diagnosed with ALS between the ages of 40 and 70, but younger people can also develop it. ALS affects people all over the world and of all ethnic backgrounds. Men are affected more often than women. About 90% to 95% of ALS cases appear randomly, meaning no one in the person's family has the disorder. In about 5% to 10% of cases, a family member also has the disorder.
Symptoms of ALSUsually ALS comes on slowly, starting out as weakness in one or more muscles. Only one leg or arm may be affected. Other symptoms include:
- twitching, cramping, or stiffness of muscles
- stumbling, tripping, or difficulty walking
- difficulty lifting things
- difficulty using the hands
Diagnosis of ALSThe diagnosis of ALS is based on the symptoms and signs the doctor observes, as well as test results that eliminate all the other possibilities, such as multiple sclerosis, post-polio syndrome, spinal muscular atrophy, or certain infectious diseases. Usually the testing is performed and the diagnosis is made by a doctor who specializes in the nervous system (a neurologist).
ALS TreatmentAs yet, there is no cure for ALS. Treatments are designed to relieve the symptoms and improve the quality of life for people with the disorder. Medications can help reduce fatigue, ease muscle cramps, and lessen pain. There is also a specific medication for ALS, called Rilutek (riluzole). It does not repair the damage already done to the body, but it appears to be modestly effective in prolonging the survival of people with ALS.
Through physical therapy, special equipment, and speech therapy, people with ALS can remain mobile and able to communicate for as long as possible.
Most people with ALS die from respiratory failure, usually within 3 to 5 years of the diagnosis, but about 10% of people diagnosed with ALS survive for 10 or more years.
Future ResearchResearchers are examining many possible causes for ALS, such as the autoimmune response (in which the body attacks it own cells) and environmental causes, such as exposure to toxic or infectious substances. Scientists have found that people with ALS have higher levels of the chemical glutamate in their bodies, so research is looking at the connection between glutamate and ALS. In addition, scientists are looking for some biochemical abnormality that all people with ALS share, so that tests to detect and diagnose the disorder can be developed.

I purchased this concert and was impressed with the show content, and the rocking ability that MTH always brought to the stage. It is a bit organ and bass heavy as my other reviewers have mentioned but not all that bad and coming off a less than exact sound-board quality for a release that you received as you left the same show you had experienced is a plus where I come from, so I cannot fault the show entirely and found it a precious fulfillment of the MTH experience. After all, they only did the REUNION shows in England. Perhaps they will refine and remix the sound from these multiple dates and release a better version of the show in the future…after all it was their 40th anniversary, and for the connisseur-minded I would pick it up as it is them in their element some decades from their initial entrance to the halls of rock and roll. I found the set very heavy from Mad Shadows forward and they only played about 2-dozen songs, far less than they could have. Maybe a 2-3 set CD anniversary edition is forthcoming and in better quality, but I do not pan the concert this envelops because I saw the band several times in the 70's and even met them in Fresno, California (of all places) and always enjoyed their onstage persona and antics, and Ian's caustic banter with the crowd. Again this set list is wonderful and to those that MTH means something to I would buy, just to fill that gap. This is far better than a bootleg, but isn't "LIVE" how we want them…think about that. Anything beyond the antiseptic of the studio is what I want and this cashes in according to my opinion, and I hope it is yours. Glad to contribute something about one of the best rock shows that ever was, and still could be. Rock on MTH.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
and I was, and this CD is great. Do you expect a pristine, 'just like the albums' recording, or what Mott was and still is, a ^&*% kicking live band? The sound is off the board, and recorded exactly as it happened, not prettied up, remixed, or mastered. These CDs were available about 20 minutes after the show ended. This was also the first show, and the band grew tighter and tighter as the week progressed. I know of no one who was at the shows who is disappointed in this historic preservation of the best reunion concerts ever. I've got crappy bootlegs of 3 of the other 4 shows and every one is cherished. BTW, I had no problem with the third disc in my DVD player or my computer
I have and treasure my "30th Anniversary" whatever Mott The Hoople live, so, needless to say, I was literally drooling with anticipation about this. 4 words: Don't Waste Your Money. The sound is atrocious, and, to be honest, it sounds like a "dub" producer mixed the thing: loud, heavy organ, then…nothing. No audible guitar, then all of a sudden, "WEE-WEE-DIDDLY-DIDDLY-SQUEECH," and Mick Ralphs does NOT deserve an engineer that makes him sound like "Slash." Ian Hunter's fairly prominant all the way thru, but…eh….save your money and treasure your memories, this this is embarrassing. OH – and that "third cd with all the pix" – it simply DID NOT WORK, either on my stereo or my computer. "Once bitten, twice shy" and all that…
I awaited in much anticipation and 35 years for this. The original Mott The Hoople reunion! The guys can still play. I really enjoyed the cd. The set list was great and covered most all thier career. The sound was heavy on organ but it was recorded direct from the board and not "touched up" in a studio. The 3rd disc with pics did not work at all so it was pretty much worthless. I'd say this is for die hard fans only. If you really want to hear them live get the 30th anniversary of thier live album from 74 tour. It's A+
Bill Board is completely correct and his observations are spot-on, including the non-functioning third disc. I even tried it in a DVD player to no avail.
One of the greatest shows I ever saw was Mott the Hoople. My admiration had been long standing and I had high expectations for the live show. They completely blew all my expectations away. Anyone hoping to rekindle those feelings where Mott is concerned would be well-advised to steer clear.
Oh well, I have the other albums and the memories of what might be the greatest glam band of all time and one whale of a guitar band. To hardly be able to discern a guitar at all is nothing short of wrong. I will be taking Amazon up on their return policy.
