COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio is getting ready to expand the number of sites where motorists can go for emissions testing that's required in seven northeast Ohio counties.
Vehicles must now be taken to one of 23 tailpipe testing centers within an area that includes Cleveland and Akron. The Plain Dealer reports (http://bit.ly/ycamnm ) that drivers of new cars made since 1996 will have other options for the beginning in late June, including 53 independent testing centers at auto repair shops and 16 self-serve kiosks that will be available 24/7.
Eventually, a remote sensing unit could screen cars as they drive by, and the owner wouldn't have to get out.
E-Check testing is mandatory Summit, Portage, Medina (meh-DY'-nuh), Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh), Lake, Lorain and Geauga (jee-AW'-guh) counties because of ozone pollution in the region.

Chris Hall's eyelids droop behind his wire-rimmed glasses. He crosses his brawny arms and lowers his jowl to his chest, dangerously close to nodding off. In the two weeks since his restaurant, Local Three Kitchen & Bar, opened, the chef has averaged 130 hours a week on the job. That's left five and a half hours a day to sleep, to shower, to remember that his dog, Maxine, is more than a picture on his iPhone. Hall can talk rapid-fire on barely a breath—about Georgia Tech football; bourbon; which Def Leppard album is better, Pyromania or Hysteria. (It's Hysteria.) But as he sits in one of Local Three's private rooms for a quiet moment, his words have dwindled to a necessary few.
The phones at Local Three still aren't working right. Incoming calls can't transfer beyond the host stand, and at this point on a mid-December morning, when the prep cooks are chopping butternut squash for soup and servers are sweeping up last night's crumbs, no one has time to run out and answer it. Ring, ring! Ring, ring! Hall cringes.
"What sort of restaurant can't pick up their fucking phone? I wouldn't go there."
Hall has already threatened to firebomb the president of the phone company's house and, if he ever sees him, to punch him in the face for good measure. But as he shuffles around the dining room in his kitchen clogs, his vent sounds drained of bile. He feels drained. He sat down not long ago to write the New Year's Eve menu and struggled to put thought to paper. His creative spark, snuffed. This is what he wanted, right? A restaurant of his own to rule, one that just so happens to have the finest kitchen in the city?
At the end of last June, the kitchen's much-celebrated occupant, Joël Brasserie, closed, the latest in a line of Atlanta's fine-dining destinations to vanish. By then, Hall and his partners, Todd Mussman and Ryan Turner, had signed a letter of intent to lease the place. Chefs in town know about this kitchen, tucked inconveniently in the corner of a west Buckhead office complex. They salivate over it. Many of them mastered beef bordelaise over its burners, on a cooking line sixty-two feet long. All in the name of the man who specified its extravagance a decade ago: Michelin-starred chef Joël Antunes.
Though they never headlined the Dining Room at the Ritz-Carlton in Buckhead, as Antunes did pre-Joël, the resumes of Hall, Mussman, and Turner are nothing for the scrap pile. Hall was sous chef at Canoe, chef de cuisine at 4th & Swift, executive chef at the Sun Dial. Fifth Group alums Mussman and Turner opened Smyrna's Muss & Turner's as a gourmet deli in 2005; since then, it's grown into a full-service local favorite doing its best business yet.
Still, how did a glorified sandwich shop in Smyrna get hold of this thing? And why did these three think they could succeed where one of the best chefs in the world failed?
Yet here is Hall, barely standing upright because Local Three—despite the phone snafus, despite the server slipups, despite starting without a liquor license—has seen more than double the expected revenue in its first week, ringing up close to $60,000. (M&T makes a weekly average of $35,000.) A gratifying start, especially considering all the weeks of arguing over logos, testing pimento cheese recipes, cursing out Coca-Cola, dickering with wine distributors, and translating French instruction booklets for the bread oven.
"I have to remind myself to stop and enjoy it," says Hall as he takes off his glasses and rubs his eyes. "I'm as sure now as I was then that this will work, and we can create something lasting and worthwhile."
Longevity is an increasingly rare feat in restaurants these days. Many run into money problems before the doors open, and it can take years of marathon shifts before one claims success. The business can be especially daunting in Atlanta, where diners are still cash-strapped and foodies tend to flit on to the next burger nook or farm-to-table tavern at the drop of a Tweet. In the last year alone, Shaun's, Craft Atlanta, Dynamic Dish, and, of course, Joël floated up to that big kitchen in the sky. That's why opening a restaurant has to be a passion project; no sane person would attempt it otherwise.
"There's nothing more alluring or powerful or cool than the fact that you can control your own destiny," says Hall. "And no one controls our destiny but us."
To begin, he and his partners spent five hectic months transforming Antunes's aloof temple of French gastronomy into a welcoming neighborhood haunt, risking life savings, mortgages, and hypertension along the way. Watching ovenside, you couldn't help but worry for them, laugh with them—and respect the seven lessons they used to manage it all.

President Obama made this statement Saturday after learning of Senator Tom Harkin's decision not to run for re-election in 2014.
By the time Senator Harkin finishes his fifth term, he will have represented the people of Iowa in the United States Congress for an incredible 40 years. He has served in the U.S. Senate longer than any Democrat in Iowa's history. During his tenure, he has fought passionately to improve quality of life for Americans with disabilities and their families, to reform our education system and ensure that every American has access to affordable health care. Senator Harkin will be missed, and Michelle and I join Iowans in thanking him for his long-standing service and wish him and his wife, Ruth, all the best in the future.

Evolutionists always start out with the premise that there is no design to the universe, so everything must be ram-horned into that mindset. They assume that they know the size of mountains in the past — they don't. They assume they know how much water is on the earth — they don't. Talk about begging the question. If you take away their assumptions, they have nothing.
P.S. I'd like to see an evolutionist in the midst of just one really good storm. Then tell the Lord he doesn't have enough water to do as he pleases, thank you.

Lincoln Memorial Visitor Services
(File Number 6265)
The Commission approved final site and building plans for two new concession buildings that will be located on Bacon and French Drives, near the Lincoln Memorial. The new buildings are part of overall plans for traffic, security, and visitor service improvements around the memorial. One of the buildings will provide retail and food service while the other will replace existing concession trailers. Measuring 34 feet by 34 feet, the 18-foot-high buildings will consist of stucco walls, wood trim, and copper roofs. Paved seating areas surrounding the new concession buildings will provide 23 tables with seating for nearly 100.
See the Commission Action and Staff Recommendation
Anacostia Waterfront New Trail
(File Number 6550)
The Commission approved concept site development plans for a new multi-use trail along the Anacostia River. Along the east side of the river, the trail will extend from the Washington Navy Yard to Benning Road; and along the west side of the river, the trail will extend from the Anacostia Naval Station to the Bladensburg Trail in Prince George's County. The trail system will provide pedestrians and bicyclists with nearly continuous access along the river. This project is a key component of the Anacostia Waterfront Initiative, a framework plan for revitalizing the waterfront that was first conceived in NCPC's 1997 Legacy Plan.
See the Commission Action and Staff Recommendation
Patent Office Staircase Reconstruction
(File Number 6479)
The Commission approved concept plans to reconstruct the south stair of the Patent Office Building. The design of the proposed staircase is based on historical photos of the staircase that was constructed at this site in 1872 and then removed in 1935. Like the historic structure, the new staircase will consist of flights of stairs flanking the central block and meeting at the landing before rising to the entrance; however, the new structure will reflect updates that enhance its functionality. In its approval, the Commission commended the Smithsonian for submitting a proposal that complements the architecture of the Patent Office Building.
See the Commission Action and Staff Recommendation
Walter Reed Army Medical Center Electrical Switching Boxes
(File Number 6547)
The Commission approved preliminary and final site plans to install electrical switching boxes at several locations throughout the campus. The boxes will provide short circuit/overload protection. Measuring five feet square, the switch boxes will be located below ground where feasible. In cases where the boxes are located above ground, vegetative screening can be used to alleviate their visual impact on the environment.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur says it is time for the House Republicans to 'get their act together' and bring an end to the partial federal shutdown, which is entering its second week.
"Not to have federal workers reporting for duty every day, what an embarrassment, what reckless behavior," said Kaptur.
The Democrat who serves Ohio's 9th Congressional District says the shutdown could end with one vote, provided House Speaker John Boehner allows that vote to happen.
"The Speaker of the House has to put it up for a vote. It's a clean continuing resolution; it doesn't have any irrelevancies that are associated with it. We have been asking repeatedly for that bill to come up. I think there are some Republicans that would vote for it," said Kaptur.
Kaptur says it's wrong for House Republicans to put the government on hold because of their opposition to the Affordable Health Care Act.
"I think it's completely off the mark because what we're talking about is the operations of the departments of the United States."
While Republicans have blasted President Obama for not willing to negotiate on 'Obamacare', Kaptur is blasting Boehner and other House Republicans for taking a piece-meal approach to try to get some government departments back up and running.
"They're cherry-picking across the government to look good on television. It is not the way to run a government."
Congressman Bob Latta, the Republican who serves Ohio's 5th Congressional District, is calling on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to allow the dispute to go through the conference process, where he believes a compromise can be reached.

New waste water treatment facilities "Poo-Gloos"
This article was found here http://www.greenbiz.com/news/2011/01/10/could-poo-gloos-replace-wastewater-treatment-plants
The official name of these things are Bio Domes and they are a new device that sucks up the sewage out of an area, These domes are one method that local rural areas are treating that waste water. They are being tested in six pilots areas to analyze their data.

Keith Kaiser learns how trainers get their canines to perform at their peak.
Flying Feet Agility uses a blend of training methods - clicker training (operant conditioning), lure reward, and traditional training to create willing and obedient canine partners.
Dog Agility is a sport in which a handler directs their dog through an obstacle course in a race for both time and accuracy.
The dogs perform such obstacles as jumps, tunnels, A-frame, teeter totter, and weave poles.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial
(File Number 5907)
The Commission commented favorably on a revised design concept for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, which will be located in West Potomac Park on the northwestern side of the Tidal Basin. The National Park Service, on behalf of the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation, submitted three changes to the concept design, which the Commission previously approved in December 2005.
The memorial's Mountain of Despair, a large stone approximately 30 feet high that is split in two and serves as an entry to the memorial, is now flanked by one-level cascading waterfalls on the interior side of the memorial, behind the stone. Secondly, a planned retaining wall along the entry plaza to the Mountain of Despair has been removed and replaced with landscaping to provide a more naturalistic setting. Finally, the memorial's Stone of Hope, a relief sculpture of Dr. King, will be set approximately 20 feet closer to the entry to strengthen the relationship between it and the Mountain of Despair.
See the Commission Action and Staff Recommendation
American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial
(File Number 6179)
The Commission commented favorably on a revised design concept for the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial, which was submitted by the National Park Service (NPS) on behalf of the memorial's sponsor, the Disabled Veterans' LIFE Memorial Foundation. In approving the changes to the concept design, the Commission commended NPS and the design team for addressing unanticipated site modifications from the Architect of the Capitol and the U.S. Capitol Police while improving the overall design and functionality of the memorial.
The revised design concept retains the major elements of the initial concept: a star fountain with flame, triangular reflecting pool, marble and etched glass walls, trees, sculptures, landscaping and lighting. The new concept primarily adjusts the site boundaries and modifies adjacent streets and intersections; it also further develops the landscaping, lighting and sculptural elements.
In its review, the Commission required the NPS to submit the following elements at the preliminary design stage, which is the next phase of Commission review:
• Details on the water elements to illustrate the character and flow of water, including periods when water will be turned off.
• Details on accommodations and seating for the physically disabled, including persons with visual or hearing impairments.
• More fully developed streetscape designs at edges of interstate entrance ramps and at crosswalks; design elements should prevent mid-block and/or entrance-ramp pedestrian crossings.
• Findings of the Site/Civil and Traffic Engineering study currently under development.
The Commission also noted that the Architect of the Capitol requests the following of NPS:
• Additional study of traffic impacts at the intersection of Washington Avenue with 2nd Street, SW to determine whether the intersection design will allow an acceptable level of service during peak periods for left turn traffic from northbound Washington Avenue to southbound 2nd Street, SW.; and whether the intersection design will adversely affect the vehicular egress patterns from the Rayburn Office Building.
• Additional study of site lighting, particularly along Washington Avenue.

Pentagon Memorial to the Victims of September 11, 2001 – Park and Gateway
(File Number 6267)
The Commission approved preliminary and final site development plans for the Pentagon Memorial commemorating the victims of September 11, 2001. The irregularly shaped memorial site encompasses 2.91 acres and includes a memorial park and gateway. The site sits roughly 165 feet west of the face of the Pentagon, bound by Interstate 395 (I-395) to the south and Route 27 to the west.
The Commission approved the site location for the memorial on the Pentagon Reservation in July 2002, and, in June 2003, the Commission approved the design concept for the memorial. The design concept included six primary features: memorial units, age lines, an age wall, a perimeter bench, landscaping/site material and a memorial gateway. The design has not deviated significantly from the original concept, except that a gateway area has been added, which will serve as an entry area for visitors. Minor modifications to the memorial park include changes in the material and fabrication of memorial units and the site paving material and layout; a new set of paths has been added parallel to the age lines to accommodate handicapped access (wheelchairs and crutch users) through the gravel. Two new features also have been added: a landscape buffer to screen the Memorial from a nearby access lane, and lighting.

Department of the Army, Washington Aqueduct Water Treatment Residuals Management Building and Site Improvements
(File Number MP37/6572)
The Commission approved a master plan modification and preliminary site and building plans for the Washington Aqueduct Water Treatment Residuals Management Building and Site Improvements. The project involves processing and consolidating residual solid material from the Dalecarlia Water Treatment Plant and the Georgetown Reservoir in a new building at the east Dalecarlia Reservoir as well as associated small improvements, including structures at these sites. The Washington Aqueduct, is a division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, operates the Dalecarlia and McMillan Water Treatment Plants in the District of Columbia. The Commission also approved the Final Environmental Impact Statement dated September 2005 for the proposed water treatment residuals management process.

District of Columbia Zoning Regulations Text Amendment
(File Number Z.C. 05-02)
The Commission commented on a proposed amendment to the District of Columbia zoning regulations that would eliminate requirements for residential recreation space in commercial and mixed-use zone districts.
The Commission found that the proposed amendment to repeal the provisions pertaining to recreation space in commercial, mixed use, and special purpose zone districts could be inconsistent with the Federal and District Elements of the Comprehensive Plan for the National Capital because it could exacerbate existing gaps in the park system of the District of Columbia, and that it is likely to have an adverse impact on the identified federal interests by resulting in overuse of elements of the federal park system.
NCPC requested that the Zoning Commission consider reducing the required percentage of gross square footage of residential recreation space to a more realistic level rather than repealing the provisions entirely.
In addition, the Commission recommended, in the long run, that alternative tools and methods of achieving the residential recreation space goals of the Federal and District Elements of the Comprehensive Plan for the National Capital be further evaluated jointly by the staffs of the District of Columbia Office of Planning, the District of Columbia Department of Parks and Recreation, the National Park Service, and NCPC following further study under the "CapitalSpace" initiative, which is currently under development by the staffs of these agencies.
The Commission also noted that the related proposed changes to penthouse provisions are not inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and are not adverse to the identified federal interest as they do not relieve proposed development of compliance with the Height of Buildings Act of 1910, setback and area requirements, or other related codes and regulations.

Zephyrs complete near perfect day with sweep of North Platte
They played two at Cleveland Field in Scottsbluff Saturday, but it added up only to one nine inning game.

Andress Morales and Leighton Freeze combined on another two hitter. Eric Moreno pitched a five inning two hitter in the opener. In game two Morales worked the first three innings and Freese the final two.
Ty Dunkel paced the 12-hit Zephyr attack with three hits and two rbi. Beau Lofink also had three hits, while Dylan Busskohl and Freese added two hits and two rbi each.
The Zephyrs have won three in a row, moving their record to 3-1 on the season. They have a scheduled doubleheader at Cheyenne Wednesday. Those games are scheduled for KNEB-AM and kneb.com.

The smallest island of the main eight Hawaiian Islands is Kahoʻolawe. Located between the islands of Lānaʻi and Maui, it encompasses only 117 sq km (45 sq mi). Known as the Forbidden Isle, this culturally significant island was at different times used as a penal colony, a ranch, and a forest reserve. In 1941, Kahoʻolawe Ranch leased the island to the U.S. Navy and for many years it was used as target practice training grounds. In 2003 the island was transferred back to the State of Hawaiʻi and efforts are currently underway for restoration of native vegetation and protection of cultural artifacts.
NOTE: Due to unexploded ordinance in the surrounding waters, unauthorized entry to the island and to waters within two miles of the island is prohibited (H.A.R. §13-260).
Coral growth on Kahoʻolawe is limited to scattered coral communities at deeper depths. Due to the deforestation of the island, there is a significant problem with erosion and sediment run-off into the nearshore environment. The USGS is assisting the Kahoʻolawe Island Reserve Commission in these efforts. Click on the link below to find out more about this collaboration.

The countdown has gone from days to hours and now, teams are starting to converge on Bigfork for the Dragon Boat Festival.
The boats are already on the water for the Dragon Boat race this Saturday and Sunday.
"We're doing the hard part right now," explained Mike Gehrke, a competitor and member of the Tacoma Dragon Boat Association, "We're training all the community teams...some of whom have never been in a boat before so that's exciting."
Gehrke is the second oldest member of his twenty-person team (and two alternates), out of Tacoma, Washington. He competes internationally and is looking forward to the competition this weekend, despite some rough water.
"I had a major ankle repair job. I had torn a ligament that goes down around the ankle and attaches to the foot," said Gehrke.
The mandatory practice session ended at 8:30 p.m. on September 5 and was geared more towards newcomers to the sport.
"Although they may have kayaked and canoed and done other water activity," said Diane Medler, the Director of the Kalispell Convention and Visitor Bureau, "a dragon boat is a very different experience. The paddling motion is very different. We want to ensure that when they're out on the water racing on Saturday and Sunday that we're able to keep them safe."
Right now, Gehrke is all smiles, but there is no question as to whether he takes the sport seriously. When asked if he thinks his team will advance to the finals on Sunday, he responds, simply, "absolutely, yeah, no question."
Medler also points out that the Dragon Boat Festival relies on volunteers, needing about one hundred fifty to make ends meet.
If you want to lend a hand, just call the Kalispell Chamber of Commerce at 406.758.2800.

Well, I suppose it's right that the hero of the tale is a Russian émigre. But the novel is much more forceful, more brightly coloured, and more (deliberately) glorious than Symons lets on. Martin, the hero, grows up in Russia; flees the Revolution with his mother to Switzerland, and thence to Cambridge university to study. The novel as a whole makes a salutary counterexample to those who think Nabakov's schitck was an 'aesthetics of cruelty'; for it is a novel about goodness, and beauty, and quite deliberately lacks melodramatic tension, although it is actually brimming with Nabokov's trademark rapturous gorgeousness. Actually, it's a sort-of precursor to American Beauty, without this latter text's suburban clunkiness and mauvaise foi. In his introduction, Nabokov notes that the 'certainly very attractive working title (later discarded in favour of the pithier Podvig, "gallant feat", "high deed") was Romanticheskiy vek, "romantic times", which I had chosen partly because I had had enough of hearing Western journalists call our era "materialistic", "practical", "utilitarian" etc.' The novel assiduously seeks out the aesthetic rapture of its versions of, as it were, the plastic bag stirred by the breeze:
Uncle Henry's bête noire was to him the twentieth century. Now this amazed Martin, since in his opinion one could not imagine a better century than this one in which he lived. No other epoch had such brilliance, such daring, such projects. Everything that had glimmered in previous ages -- the passion for exploration of unknown lands, the audacious experiments, the glorious exploits of disinterested curiosity, the scientists who went blind or who were blown to bits, the heroic conspiracies, the struggle of one against many -- now emerged with unprecedented force. The cool suicide of a man after his having lost millions on the stock market struck Martin's imagination as much as, for instance, the death of a Roman general falling on his sword. An automobile advertisement, brightly beckoning in a wild, picturesque gorge from an absolutely inaccessible spot on an alpine cliff thrilled him to tears. The complaisant and affectionate nature of very complicated and very simple machines, like the tractor or the linotype, for example, induced him to reflect that the good in mankind was so contagious that it infected metal. When, at an amazing height in the blue sky above the city, a mosquito-sized airplane emitted fluffy, milk-white letters a hundred times as big as it, repeating in divine dimensions the flourish of a firm's name, Martin was filled with a sense of marvel and awe. [120-21]

Two Logansport homes are believed to have been the intentional targets of two weekend shootings.
The Logansport Police Department responded to reports of gunshots fired in the early morning hours Saturday in the 600 block of 13th Street and late Sunday night in the 000 block of B Street. The department has "persons of interest" in the case, which First Detective Sgt. D.J. Sommers said has the possibility of being gang-related.
The residents were at home when the shots were fired, but no serious injuries were reported, according to Sommers.
One bullet traveled through the second-floor bedroom window of the 13th Street home and another went through the first-floor living room window, Sommers said. In the B street home, five shots total were fired at the living room area, according to Sommers.
Sommers said they do not know how far away the shooter was. But, he said, they believe the shooter or shooters were on foot.
"It appears that in both cases the subjects were on foot," Sommers said.
So far, Sommers said they have begun the process of interviewing people of interest for both houses. They also have a vehicle which may be linked to one of the suspects in the Sunday night shooting, he said.
"We have persons of interest in both that we would like to speak to," Sommers said.
He said the houses shot at, one a duplex and the other a single-family home, were specifically targeted, and not random shootings.
Sommers said the reason for the shootings has the "potential" to be gang-related and they're continuing to investigate the case.
"There have been known gang members that frequent those addresses," Sommers said.
The department is also "not ruling out" the idea that the shootings are related, Sommers said.
"They're being looked into as a possible connection," Sommers said.
He asked anyone with tips on the shooting to contact him at 574-753-8110.

The Franklin County legislature acknowledged that the County, and not the individual towns and villages, must bear the burden of solving the county solid waste problem. "We all know that as legislators we do not at the present time have a legal obligation to absorb the burden of seeking a solution to the solid waste problem; however, I do believe we have a real obligation to do so. To do nothing would be to abdicate our responsibility," said Board Chairman Jim Frenette.

FLOODS: Rising Windrush puts Witney residents on tenterhooks
10:00am Tuesday 27th November 2012 in Witney By Tom Jennings
RESIDENTS fled their homes yesterday as the River Windrush in Witney rose dramatically.
But last night it appeared the town had escaped wholesale flooding by the skin of its teeth.
A handful of homes were evacuated in Riverside Gardens during the morning – with some residents taking refuge at Langdale Hall – but they were allowed to return home by the evening.
The River Windrush was on a flood warning last night, meaning homes were expected to flood, and had reached a level of 1.97m – the highest since a measuring device was installed in 2008.
Environment Agency spokes-man Jo Slimin said: "The situation is improving but the level may still go up a bit. We have got flood data officers going into the area to make sure we've got all the information."
She said the region could see another 15mm of rainfall in the next couple of days, which, with the river at capacity and the ground already saturated, could lead to more risk of flooding.
Riverside Gardens resident Keith Webb, 69, said: "At 8am the water was at the river bank level but now it is right across into the road.
"We were told to move out at 11am. I have popped back now to get more stuff and then we shall be away. It is pretty frightening but there is not anything you can do about it."
Bridge Street resident Lorraine Brodrick spent two hours before 4pm desperately sweeping water away from her ground-floor home.
She said: "I got home at 2pm and the water was almost up to my door.
"We opened up the manhole covers and have tried to sweep the rainwater away as best we can.
"It has not gone inside yet and in the meantime I feel like at least I am doing something. I cannot just sit here and watch it rise."
Peter Crowther, who owns Bridge Street music shop Peter Crowther Cellos, said: "We flooded in 2007 and the water is not coming through like it did then. It was a bit like Niagara Falls back then – it just came and took us out very quickly.
"We are all feeling very down in Bridge Street. People were out of their houses for over a year in 2007 – I still haven't finished the damage in my place."
Witney Town Council, which made Langdale Hall available for evacuees, said it had plans in place to reopen the hall if it was needed overnight.
The footpath between Witan Way and Cogges, across Langdale Common, was closed by police at 12.32pm yesterday.
West Oxfordshire District Council has handed out about 5,000 sandbags across the district since Wednesday.

Home Press Releases Banyan Tree Private Collection partners with Habitat for Humanity to build homes and hope in China and the PhilippinesPress Release
Banyan Tree Private Collection partners with Habitat for Humanity to build homes and hope in China and the Philippines
Category: Corporate Announcements
22 Apr 2010
Singapore- Banyan Tree Private Collection (BTPC), Asia's first asset-backed destination club offering perpetual and transferable membership, is proud to announce a fund-raising initiative to benefit the charitable organisation Habitat for Humanity.
As part of a joint program, BTPC is asking membership purchasers to donate US$10,000 from each individual perpetual membership sold, which BTPC will match dollar-for-dollar. Banyan Tree Private Collection boasts one of the most attractive fees in the destination club industry, with membership priced at a one-time joining fee starting at US$150,000. Under the fund-raising initiative, an exclusive rate of US$140,000 will be offered, with a stipulation that US$10,000 of this fee is directly donated to Habitat for Humanity, which BTPC will match with an additional US$10,000.
BTPC aims to raise enough funds to build 100 homes over the next year through this initiative, as well as a through a series of fundraising events to be held throughout the year.
Proceeds from the donations will go towards two Habitat building projects – one in Guangdong, China and the other in the Philippines.
In Guangdong, the program centres on the Qujiang district in the southern part of Shaoguan municipality where Habitat aims to build at least 150 housing units in three years for low-income families living in substandard housing, and to transform existing unsanitary and unsafe villages into healthy and sustainable communities in partnership with the local government. More than 15,800 families in the district live in unsafe and temporary mud brick or earthen wall houses without sanitation or ventilation systems. In recent years, many of these houses collapsed during storms and floods – causing death and injury to the people and animals.
In the Philippines, donations will also go towards helping Habitat's Philippines Pasig River Project which aims to address the potentials of disasters occurring among slum colonies living along the river banks through resettlement and provision of adequate shelter. Habitat's ultimate goal for this project is to serve 40,000 additional families between 2011 and 2015 and a capacity 10,000 families served per year by the end of the campaign.
"Banyan Tree has long been committed to being an agent of social and economic development through responsible tourism. Habitat's message that 'hope starts at home' deeply resonates with BTPC and our commitment to corporate social responsibility and offer of a home away from home to our members and guests," says Marina Kleiman, BTPC's managing director.
Banyan Tree Private Collection is managed by the multi-award winning Banyan Tree Hotels and Resorts, which has a long history of Corporate Social Responsibility – founded with the core value of driving sustainable development. The company seeks to continue to be an agent of social and economic development through responsible tourism. It is also a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact – committed to upholding the Ten Universal Principles on human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. The resorts are engaged with active efforts specific to their local communities and eco system, and these programs have won a number of environmental awards from around the world.
Habitat for Humanity China's General Manager, Steven Ying, expressed delight at the joint initiative. "This is a meaningful partnership that starts with introducing the friends of Habitat for Humanity network to BTPC, which is part of the multi-award winning Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts group, recognized for its corporate social responsibility initiatives worldwide. Likewise, we are excited to welcome BTPC's members to our global efforts. Together, we will bring hope and build decent homes for underserved communities in China and the Philippines."
Banyan Tree Private Collection offers members a lifetime of bespoke travel experiences as well as the benefit of a second home without the hefty expense or hassles of owning a property. Members receive seven to fourteen days a year at the club's worldwide portfolio of luxury villas and apartments. Furthermore, since membership is perpetual, members not only enjoy a lifetime of travel, but can also transfer the membership to their loved ones.
Currently, Banyan Tree Private Collection owns the top category villas within Banyan Tree resorts at Phuket, Thailand; Bali and Bintan, Indonesia; Ringha, China and Seychelles, as well as stand-alone private villas and luxury apartments in Kyoto, Japan and of course Tuscany, Italy; Grasse, France and London, United Kingdom. A selection of "Associate Villas", which avail members to more destinations, are located within all existing and upcoming Banyan Tree properties. The club's portfolio will continue to expand in the future to offer members a wide variety of choices.

I'd barely made it into the operations center when my intelligence sergeant shoved a piece of paper into my hand. I'd come in looking for an update on three new Taliban commanders in our area of operations. They'd arrived a few months before and they'd already conducted several successful attacks on US convoys and now were building an IED network.
The Kel-Tec SU-16 has a conventional, long-stroke gas-piston operation and utilizes the proven Johnson/Stoner breech locking system.
Just how good are the cameras on UAVs today? Take a good look at this video - and what you see will surprise you!
Having a good firearm is only part of the equation. One also must have ammo that can be trusted to help you survive a tight spot.
The Coast Guard located and rescued two people Sunday, June 15, 2014, that were reported missing after a 21-foot fishing boat sank near Kiptopeke State Park. A Coast Guard Jayhawk helicopter crew from Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, N.C., was able to locate one person who had swam ashore and found a second person in the water approximately 2 miles west of Kiptopeke. The Jayhawk crew hoisted both people into the helicopter and took them to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia.
If you live in California, draconian gun laws - including bans on modern sporting rifles and standard-capacity magazines are a fact of life. As a result, there is the risk of missing out on products for a number of manufacturers. However, there is one fewer gun-maker to miss out on.
5-4 Supreme Court Ruling Upholds Conviction
By Harold Hutchison
A retired police officer who bought a firearm for his uncle was held to have violated a federal law against so-called "straw purchases," even though the uncle was a law-abiding citizen and not prohibited from possessing a firearm.
The Combat NCO® 1911 A2® brand is not an average 1911. It is the evolution of the design. The pistol employs more than 16 new patents that make it stronger, shoot more accurately and last a lifetime, by design.

Review submitted: October 4, 2011 Date of arrival: September 10, 2011
Alexander & Susan,
I wanna thank you for the extraordinary stay Gregoria and I have in your comfortable studio. We were there for my 39th birthday and it was simply AMAZING!!!
We arrived on Sept 10th (so much surveillance) and enjoyed 10 days of everything: Mets game, Yankees game, The Met Museaum, Guggenheim, 9/11 Memorial, central Park, Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, etc....great shopping also!!!
The place is very conveniently located, in Lower Manhattan with Bowling Green and Rector stations very close; we had great time and hope to back again soon!!!
Incredible store on the street level (Cucina Libertá) and a Duane Reade pharmacy store on the corner.
Thanks for this amazing vacations!!!
Best regards.
Recommended for: adventure seekers, tourists without a car
Owners response: We are happy to receive another glowing review from visitors who enjoyed not just our apartment but also the neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, and the rest of NYC (which is truly an amazing place to be at any given time). I can tell you that this visitor, as witnessed by the account of the activities over the course of the 10-day stay was one of the best prepared travelers I have ever seen, having booked all those activities in advance of arrival here in town. Bravo!!!

Tried & True
Review submitted: August 20, 2011 Date of arrival: July 29, 2011
This studio apartment is tried & true & it's exactly like the pictures show. Susan & Alexander have thought of everything & they've made such great use of the space; everything in the studio has a purpose &/or function. We were amazed at how much they could get in a studio & yet it still looks very elegant & spacious. The full size bed comfortably accommodated my girlfriend & me & there's plenty of floor space for the extra futon mattress if needed.
The Financial District is a wonderful quiet area to retire to at night after seeing all the busy, noisy NY sites. This spot is truly a wonderful location to get to any part of NY & its surrounding areas & it's literally one – two blocks from two different subways & the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island ferry. There is a fabulous market located right next door with tons of everything & wonderful daily selections of various fresh foods. Susan is an arsenal of information & can tell you anything you want to know or point you in the right direction. We will definitely stay here whenever we return to NY & have already told all of our friends about it. Thanks so much Susan & Alexander! Ronda & Laura
Recommended for: adventure seekers, girls getaway, sight seeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway
Owners response: We are so glad Laura & Ronda enjoyed themselves, especially after hearing how they sent a deposit to someone expecting an apartment reservation, and then never heard back from the person. We are happy to be "tried & true" and hope to have Ronda & Laura &/or their friends return many times in the future. It's a good indication we are doing the right thing, and encourages us to welcome folks to our home for short stays. Thanks, Ronda & Laura! All the best, S & A.

Awesome Location and Even Better Owners
Review submitted: June 14, 2011 Date of arrival: May 17, 2011
-Susan and Alexander,
Where do I begin? This rental was Amazing! Location, layout, amenities, and customer service were great.
The location was prime for visitors who want to visit NYC during the day but get away from the noise during the night. Downtown Manhattan was only 6-8 subway stops away and only a 25 min cab ride away. Right next to Battery Park, Wall St., Statue of Liberty Ferry, And WTC Memorial. And guess what? They have a great grocery store downstairs.
The Studio apartment was great for my girlfriend and I. She was skeptical prior to the trip about an apartment rental but she fell in love due to the set up and decor of Susan and Alexander's studio. My brother who is a native New Yorker and my gf's friends loved the place. And to make things great there were more than enough linens, and towels to last for about a week.
Amenities were great with a laundry mat down the hall and dry cleaners in the lobby. The gym was convenient being only 3 floors down, was rarely crowded, and had great machines. I never got to visit the observation deck but looking at pictures it looked phenomenal. And of course the very convenient grocery store and pharmacy located downstairs.
To top the trip off the customer service of Alexander and Susan were great. I only had to call Alexander once but he was more than welcome to answer my call in the middle of the day. They really made me feel like I was more of an old friend rather than a customer. Thanks so much!
This is a long review but I was really grateful and happy with everything. I would love to rent from them again and would definitely recommend EVERYONE I know who plan on visiting NYC to rent from them.

Thanks, Tim!
Not sure why you are recommending the apt for folks 55+... We do not discriminate. We are younger than that, you are younger, and that's OK... We have many friends younger, that age or older. In any case, thanks for the review!

Susan & Alexander -
We want to thank you renting your apartment to us. The location is - of course - perfect. As you suggested, we ate a couple times at the Stone Street restaurants and enjoyed it very much. Overall we had another great time New York, and having a nice place to stay was a big part of that.

Review from Guest in NYC for U.S. Open
Review submitted: June 13, 2010 Date of arrival: September 6, 2009
... I spent 10 days at the apartment and loved my time there. I've spent the last 10 years in a hotel during the USOpen, but moving forward will stay there again as long as it's available. I will list the things I liked the most.
1. Perfect size and accommodations
2. Laundry room and excellent workout room
3. 1 block from the subway
4. Grocery store attached to facility
5. The apartment is beautifully decorated.
6. Very good quality bedding and towels
7. Free Internet access using your own laptop
8. Quiet and comfortable (which if you ever stayed in a hotel in the city, it's noisy)
9. Cable television in the apartment.
10. On a scale from 1-10, I will rate my stay a 10.

Two female professors are standing alone against Roger Williams University.
They are seeking over one million dollars in damages claiming harassment and discrimination.
They say it's gone on for years.
Professor Sharon DeLucca said, "I've tried to handle this internally with University administrators, but my concerns were met with threats and overt retaliation."
DeLucca added she later became ill and said, "While I was in the hospital, I was sent black lilies – funeral flowers – from Roger Williams University."
Professor DeLucca says the harassment began when she asked for equal pay to male professors doing the same work at Roger Williams University.
Another professor says she's has encountered racial discrimination and more.
Professor Bonita Cade said. "Despite my successful academic career and credentials, I was treated as nothing more than a affirmative action hire."
Cade added, "I've also had to carefully time my entrance to my classroom, to avoid sexual harassment from a male instructor who engaged in inappropriate touching."
In a statement to ABC6 News, Roger Williams University declined to comment on the specific allegations because the cases are in litigation and arbitration.
In its statement Roger Williams University goes on to say, "We intend to vigorously defend against the alleged claims as they relate to the university, and we believe that we will ultimately prevail in each case."

These past few weeks Brianna and I have been designing a new bag; one that can be used as a cycling specific/ commuter bag, but also as a perfect day bag while you're out. The bag has some features similar to our other Roll Tops and Square Tops, but the major difference is that this bag is much more narrow but has an increased depth. That makes it perfect for traveling around, light trips, and a great day bag for someone who wants something very simple.
The shell is made from 1000D cordura. The straps are backed with a compression foam/ seat belt webbing and heavy weight nylon webbing. It has a truck tarp vinyl liner mixed with 1000D cordura sides.
If you're in San Francisco, be on the look out for Brianna. She's up there for the week rocking the new City Slacker!
- Padded Straps/ Padded back
- Full Waterproof
- Document Sleeve
- Outside Pocket(s)
- Laptop Sleeve located inside the main pocket
- Fully Customizable
- Side U-Lock Holster
- Adjustable lid
- Blinky Light Loop
One thing about this bag is that it is fully customizable. You can change the colors on the whole bag. Treat this like your blank canvas!
Purchase this Bag HERE
If you are interested in this specific bag or one like it feel free to contact us:
