AMERICUS, Ga. (Oct. 13, 2006) – An agreement between the governments of the United States and Canada will give Habitat for Humanity $100 million for softwood lumber purchases to accelerate house-building with low-income families across the United States.
The award will be made to Habitat for Humanity International for distribution to U.S. affiliates. The funds will be allocated through 4,000 grants of $25,000 each—the cost of lumber for the typical U.S. Habitat home. Lumber purchases account for about one-third of the cost of a Habitat house.
Priority for the grants will go to affiliates in timber-reliant states. Twenty percent of the funds—or 800 of the $25,000 grants—will support lumber purchases for building Habitat homes in communities recovering from natural disasters.
The funds are aimed at building the capacity of U.S. affiliates to significantly increase house construction. By leveraging the funds to raise additional money for non-lumber costs, affiliates would be able to build an additional 4,000 homes over the next three to five years.
"On behalf of the families who will move into the houses this initiative allows, we are extraordinarily grateful," said Jonathan Reckford, chief executive officer of Habitat for Humanity International. "Every day, our affiliates see families who are desperate to find affordable housing and are willing to work hard for it. The shortage of decent, affordable housing is a problem that is growing and it outpaces any one organization's ability to respond. But this gift–the largest lump-sum donation in Habitat for Humanity's history–combined with Habitat's self-help housing know-how and its dedicated volunteer builders means that thousands of additional low-income families will be able to realize the American dream of homeownership.
"We are tremendously appreciative," added Reckford. "The confidence demonstrated by this award is a tribute to the outstanding work of Habitat affiliates. Through dedicated volunteers and careful stewardship of all resources donated to them, affiliates are serving families in need of housing and helping to build better communities as a result. This award can only enhance those efforts."
The $100 million award to Habitat is part of a larger grant provided through the U.S.-Canada Softwood Lumber Agreement. The agreement allowed for the distribution of $450 million to meritorious initiatives in the United States surrounding issues of assistance for timber-reliant communities, low-income housing and disaster relief, and the promotion of sustainable forest management practices.
Other recipients of agreement funds include the American Forest Foundation and United States Endowment for Forestry and Communities.
About Habitat for Humanity International
Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry that welcomes to its work all people dedicated to the cause of eliminating poverty housing. Since its founding in in 1976, Habitat has built more than 200,000 houses in nearly 100 countries, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for more than 1 million people. Future homeowners help build their homes and then buy them through affordable, no-profit mortgages; their payments go into a Fund for Humanity to build additional homes.

Stretching across immaculate greenery and pristine waters that run alongside Cape Cod's Melody Tent, Twin Brooks Golf Course's 18-hole, par 3 layout is a treat for players of all abilities. Only one hole exceeds 200 yards in length on the par 54 course, though the design still manages to fit in plenty of obstacles, including five ponds and 36 strategically placed sand traps, each one filled to the lip with soft Cape sand and disoriented sunbathers. Players who have stepped into the tee box recently may have noticed a difference: the teeing grounds have all been leveled, reshaped, and covered with new turf. The improvement is just one of many the course has undertaken in the last several months. Others include repairing the cart paths, upgrading the landscaping with railroad ties and new plantings, and reshaping the tree line along the fairways to make the course feel more open and remove potential obstructions. Players can expect a round to take between two and three hours, and Twin Brooks offers both pull carts and gas-powered carts for an additional fee.
It's no coincidence that Brian Silva won Golf World's Golf Course Architect of the Year award in 1999, the year after his two tracks at Waverly Oaks Golf Club opened. Acclaimed by outlets including Golf Digest and the New England Journal of Golf, Waverly Oaks' signature course meanders through tree lines and sand traps for 7,114 challenging yards. Each hole boasts its own playful moniker. The ninth hole, for instance, is dubbed "Double Trouble," a reference to the two ponds golfers must clear?one between the fairway and the tee, the other on the left side of the fairway as it approaches the front of the green. But Silva didn't stop at the signature course. Alongside, he crafted a 9-hole, par 33 challenger course ideal for novices or golfers trying to squeeze in a round before taking their caddie out to dinner.
Championship Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par 72 course * Length of 7,114 yards from the tips * Course rating of 74.0 from the tips * Slope rating of 129 from the tips * Four tee options
An 18-hole layout that has earned plaudits from The Boston Globe and The New England Journal of Golf, Atlantic Country Club unfurls a circuit of bent-grass fairways and greens across 178 acres of rolling terrain. Mature trees pinch these fairways throughout the course, impeding the passage of wayward golf balls. The team behind these features is the prolific architectural trio of Cornish, Silva, and Mungeam, who designed the course to be a narrative. It begins with an easy starting hole, with the most difficult hole (the par-four 8th) positioned in the middle of the round. Games conclude with a dramatic finish at the 18th, a par-four known as being the second most difficult hole. After playing, golfers can relax at the bar and grille, where an outdoor deck overlooks the 9th and 18th greens.
The weather in Boston doesn't always provide for ideal golfing conditions. In 2003, a record storm buried the city under nearly 28 inches of snow. Other years have simply been cold. In either case, On The Tee Indoor Golf Club lets players work on their swings year-round with an advanced golf simulator that re-creates some of the world's finest courses. Standing in front of a high-definition 14'x9' screen, golfers shoot actual balls as 3-D Doppler tracking radar—not unlike the radar used to track stray caddies—accurately follows the shots and relays the results within the simulated course. Computers also help visitors take their games to the next level during lessons with professional golfer Russell Quigg, who uses video-analysis software to diagnose and fix problems in players' swings.
Incandescent fish, turtles, and dolphins illuminate the underwater-themed wonder worlds of Oceans 18's glow-in-the-dark mini-golf course and two lanes of mini bowling that provide indoor fun year-round. Oceans 18 keeps links-lovers entertained with a full-size golf simulator while mini bowling promises all the fun of the alley without the hassle of wearing rental shoes or a bedazzled bowling glove. Patrons can also carry on their competitive spirit in Oceans 18's extensive arcade.
Hawthorne Country Club's 9-hole course unfolds across a 54-acre parcel of countryside that incorporates thick clusters of woods, stone-lined ponds, and picturesque views of the valley. The nine fairways coil around the club's crown jewel: the clubhouse with ample deck seating and interior accommodations. Here visitors can soak in sights of the Paskamansett Valley through the dining room's floor-to-ceiling windows while also making sure golf carts don't try to sneak out after curfew. In May, the club will open a new golf restaurant with outdoor seating and fire pits.

BIRMINGHAM — Cordova was described as a town full of history and hardworking people at the "Designing After Disaster" workshop held in Birmingham on Tuesday.
Paul Kennedy of the Walker Area Community Foundation told audience members that it is one of the most well-planned communities in the county because it was built to accommodate a booming textile mill and hundreds of workers.
A century later, a new generation of residents and designers are working to define what the Cordova of the future will look like after the city was devastated by two tornadoes on April 27.
Kennedy described the rebuilding process as a slow and constant struggle that has been complicated by a perceived lack of progress since the mounds of rubble were hauled away.
"Nothing is happening that the public can see, and when the public can't see something, they get very irritated about that," he said.
Beth Stukes, chairman of the city's long-term recovery committee, agreed that it has been difficult to keep local residents from losing hope.
"The opportunity is very exciting and invigorating at the onset because we want something better, but our adrenaline runs out and people begin to tire of hearing what is going to come," Stukes said.
Kennedy said that on an individual level, recovery committees in the city and county have been instrumental in soliciting assistance for unmet needs. However, they did not reach some storm survivors in time.
While local leaders were organizing a game plan, the patience of those who had lost everything ran out. Committee members later became aware of several families who used the assistance they received to purchase substandard housing such as tool sheds because it was the best they believed they could afford.
"Nobody was talking to them about what could be coming or how they could get it. These were well-intentioned individuals doing the best they knew how," Kennedy said.
He added that one of a handful of housing challenges that Cordova residents faced after the storm was that many of the structures destroyed were rental properties. Landlords had little incentive to rebuild, and tenants were hard pressed to find new living arrangements because of bad credit, low income and other factors.
Also, a popular housing solution in the past, a mobile home, is now forbidden in most areas of the city by a zoning ordinance passed several years before the storm.
Kennedy said Cordova needs more housing that is affordable, weather resistant, energy efficient and an appropriate size to fit on the city's narrow lots.
"The long-term ideal is to develop a community plan that figures out ways to build and fill in vacant lots with modest square footage homes. We hope to do the financial literacy and have the financial tools available for the individuals to be able to acquire those homes and stay in them," Kennedy said.
Stukes ended the presentation by stating that although long-term recovery is taking longer than many people imagined, city leaders continue to work with officials at all levels of government to make the community's vision for the 21st century into a reality.
"We will not settle for unsatisfying design. We will not settle for instant gratification. It is cheaper. It would make our lives easier at the coffee table, but we are building for our grandchildren," Stukes said.

Climate change doesn't exist. Gov Brown is a snake-oil salesman. Stop wasting our time and tax money and solve some real problems!
on May 23, 2013 at 10:43 pm
Go read all the stories on the MV Voice home page then tell me if climate change should be Brown's focus.
on May 24, 2013 at 4:29 pm
Yes, absolutely let's shift the focus onto climate change. And away from asking too many questions about the substandard materials used in the Bay bridge renevotion. And away from the billions of dollars taking high speed rail to Jerry's union cronies. Let's shift it anywhere away from our lunatic state government.
Mr. Brown, that hot feeling you're getting isn't global warming. It's your constituants staring at you in disbelief.

Marshall stabbing is only the latest flareup in a turbulent life
- 11:10 am Saturday, April 23rd, 2011 by Brian Biggane
Brandon Marshall is no stranger to headline-grabbing incidents both on and off the field, and Friday night's stabbing that left him in the intensive-care unit at Broward General Hospital Saturday continues the pattern.
The litany of events over the past few years:
– Oct. 31, 2004. While a student at Central Florida, Marshall is arrested for assault on an officer, refusal to obey, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer.
– March 26, 2007. Marshall is arrested in Denver on charges of domestic violence after he refused to allow a taxi carrying his girlfriend to leave his house. Charges were dismissed after he completed an anger management course.

Internally, within Palestinian society, the breaching of the wall and the mass participation in the "no-border" crossing, have provided a huge boost to social and political mobilization. The level of involvement – the UN estimated that as many as half of Gaza's 1.5 million people may have crossed into Egypt – showed the potential to rebuild on a national scale the kind of popular resistance movement that characterized the first Palestinian intifada, or uprising. That mobilization, from the end of 1987 through 1993, brought virtually every sector of society into active political life – women, children, old people, farmers, medical workers, trade unions, cultural workers – and the internal "shaking up" of Palestinian society that resulted was in fact more important in building resistance than the symbolic stone-throwing of the children.
The second uprising began in 2000 under conditions in many ways more difficult, including a leadership that was much more top-down than the bottom-up grassroots and unified leadership that characterized the first intifada. The second intifada was also much more a phenomenon of militias and armed actions than it was an example of popular mobilization; the vast majority of Palestinians were not directly involved as they had been during the first uprising. (And it is not insignificant that most of the young 20-something men who made up the gunmen of the second intifada, had been toddlers and small children during the first uprising – too young to remember the popular mobilization, but old enough to remember their fathers and older brothers being beaten, arrested, humiliated by Israeli occupation soldiers.)
The closest thing to the popular mobilization of the first intifada has been the non-violent civil disobedience actions that have continued for years across parts of the West Bank – in places like Bi'ilin and the Har Homa settlement, and elsewhere where local Palestinians are joined with internationals and some Israelis to protest the building of the apartheid Wall and the continuing encroachment of expanding settlements and settler-only roads built on stolen Palestinian land. And there have been such popular mobilizations in
And in the
In noting the passing this week of Dr. George Habash, founder of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and Palestine's most visionary leader, there is a particularly poignant reality in recognizing that so many Palestinians (and other veterans of anti-colonial struggles) in the U.S. who might wish to mourn his passing are afraid to do so publicly for fear of the post-9/11 consequences of appearing to "support" the PFLP. Whatever critical assessments one might make of Dr. Habash's strategic approach, al Hakim was the conscience of the PLO. That remains his legacy, and for that he is already greatly missed.

I can't tell the difference of sublines with Jordana lip pencil products really other than slight difference in color of packaging/color of the cap.
I have this in Cranberry Cocktail, it has a silver cap instead of the clear ones I've seen just to clarify... This is a deep vampy wine shade. The consistency is creamier than most lipliners but also keeps the color in place. I needed a liner that I could use for 1) lining my lips 2) using it as a red base. I like red lips.. bold, dark, and MATTE. It's always a problem finding a nice dark liner that does it's job without making my lips too dry or looking clown like. It's a basic pencil so sharpening is required but I like really defined lips... so I prefer these over retractables :)
For $2 I got something that did more than what I was looking for. I'd try other shades for this price. However due to the creamy consistency, think of these more like lipstick pencils... Bleeding might be a problem if you're going for a bold + glossy look.
I really don't like lipstick OR lipgloss, but I have a solution that's worked well for me over the years- if I find a lipliner I really like, I apply it over a lip balm, so it's not too sheer and not too opaque. I recently purchased the Jordana basic lipliners in both Petal and Spice and am absolutely blown away by the quality and beautiful colors of both of them. I'm a convert! I don't wear lipstick with lipliner (please, I'm 37, I don't want to look it), but I am very happy when I find a cheap lipliner that looks good over balm. The colors are gorgeous.I did try Natural, as well, but it looked muddy and, well, un-natural! I have fair skin, blue eyes, reddish-brown hair and yellow undertones. I hope these never disappear! (I bought mine at Walgreen's for about a buck apiece). FYI, my favorite balm is Palmer's Cocoa Butter Stick- I stock up in the winter and always hand them out to my chapped friends and family.

I recently decided that I needed to wear pinup girl red lipstick, but I wouldn't dare use it without a lipliner, so I grabbed Hot Pepper for less than $2. It's much creamier than I expected--enough so that I could wear this as a matte red color without the lipstick, almost. This is not the fun retractable kind, this is a good ol' pencil. The cap fits nice and tightly so no worries about tossing it into my purse and letting it fend for itself, and the color is very pigmented and easy to feather out on my lips. Good stuff!

I have the retractable liner in plush plum, and i lowe it. its not as matta s traditional lip liners are. I use it as more of a stain or as lipstick even. Its 2 for 3 for the retractables as well and the price is great. I like how its retractable, no sharpening!
On a general note, I love the jordana lip liners and pencils, especially when I want to try new colors (I just tried several dark, dark reds on my fair skin and loved several). We don't have a Walgreen's here, but they do sell this line at our DOLLAR STORES! Check them out -- $1 is even cheaper than $2! I normally buy expensive makeup (when it's worth it), so it is great to have a source for lip (and eye) color that is CHEAPER THAN DIRT.

More reviews by diagnosedsounds
I bought three lip pencils (Nude, Cabernet, and Toast) and will probably not be going back to Jordana...
Because while the colors themselves are pretty nice (Nude-Dark nude color, Cabernet- a wine-red color, and Toast- a slightly darker brown "Nude" color), they began to bleed while I used clear lipgloss over them!
I was shocked to say the least. I had only used the Jordana brand clear lip gloss and it didn't last for longer than an hour.
After using the Cabernet with the clear gloss, it began to slide off and make my mouth look like I had been punch in the mouth, it made it look raw.
Really was expecting more from Jordana after reading all of the reviews.
AMAZING product. I have this liner in COCOA. It is soft, glides so easily on lips, AND has good pigments. The color stays on lips really well and I hardly need to put lipstick. It's so cheap, too!!! I will not buy liner from any other company from now on. I feel so stupid for the fact that I spent $14 for ONE lipliner before!
I have this lipliner in Natural and I would have to say this has the best staying power of any lipliners I have tried this is my new hg I can layer it too.... I will line my lips powder then line again and it still looks natural great stuff..... and what a bargain for the price...
I have these liners in 4 shades, nude, spice, nutmeg, and a pinky one I forgot the name. They all look great when just applied (except for the nutmeg which is a dark brown, don't know why I'd buy it in the first place), but barely stay over two hours. I like the color of the "spice" so much. If only it stays over 4 hours am I asking too much?
Didn't sharpen them yet so have no comments on the packaging. I did have terrible experience with Wet n Wild and Yves Rocher pencils.
But at this price I would like to get some other shades and just play with them.

The Jordana lip liner I purchased is the Easyliner for Lips in "Tawny". Purchassed this at Walgreen's for only a dollar and change - this is a great retractable lip pencil and just as good as the department store brands. This shade is really more like a warm pink-mauve - a very versatile shade. My favorite combo is lining and filling in my lips with "Tawny" then topping with Sally Hanson Diamond Lip Treatment Lip Gloss in "Royal Romance" (a lovely pink-plum-mauve with golden shimmer). Highly recommended!

NORFOLK, Neb. (KTIV) - 500 people packed the Lifelong Learning center in Norfolk, Nebraska, to ask Senator Ben Nelson questions about proposed changes to health care.
Nelson fielded about 20 questions from the audience but few of them had anything to do with health care reform. Most of them had to do with presidential czars, distrust of congress and it's committee's and the fear that Washington will take away citizens choices. Following the meeting Nelson met with reporters where he was asked about the tone of the questions and where he felt the anger created by the divisive issue was coming from. "Trying to play on fears, trying to provoke anger, frustration and I think people are being tormented by all the questions now I thing the watchful of the citizens is extremely important to our democracy so I'm not going to complain about it but as an observation if you are told day in and day out that you can't trust Washington that sets in and pretty soon you begin to believe it," Nelson said.
Nelson who was warmly received by the audience which was well behaved in comparison to some other town hall meetings across the country, has said he does not support any of the current health care reform proposals however he did say he would support some type of public option if it came in a reasonable package. "A public option as a fallback position is a concept I think that could be acceptable," Nelson said. "If it's a cooperative under certain circumstances that might be acceptable."
Nelson reiterated several times that he can only support a proposal which does not increase the deficit is good for small business and does have cost controls.

External Grants Programs
Finding Funding
Who might be interested in funding my research/creative project?
This is often the first question faculty pose as they begin the grant writing process. OSPR is here to help you answer this question using a variety of online tools.
Although each of these tools provides basic summary information (deadlines etc), you are encouraged to follow-up on any leads by visiting the sponsor's website directly. Databases, while helpful, may not always have the latest updates from every sponsor.
Preparing Your Proposal
OSPR is here to provide consultation and technical assistance as you prepare your proposal. We strive to provide individualized assistance—which means the manner in which we assist you throughout the process will depend upon your unique needs and prior grant-writing experience. The single most important thing you can do to make this a successful collaboration is to meet with OSPR early in the process so that we may determine an appropriate plan for assisting you. Below are some common ways in which OSPR assists in the process—please discuss these or any other needs you might have with us.
Proposal Writing Guides
Each sponsor typically has their own requirements for proposal content and format, and it is important to adhere to those guidelines precisely. Contact OSPR for assistance in locating the guidelines for a particular sponsor. Beyond the formal guidelines, first time applicants to a sponsor often benefit from advice from others familiar with a certain agency. The below resources have been compiled to help inform your proposal writing.
American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS)
National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)
National Science Foundation (NSF)
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Developing Your Budget
Because the federal government is a primary sponsor of research and other scholarly activities of Keene State College, the cost policies of the federal government, contained in OMB Circular A-21, set the standard with regard to budgeting for all sponsored projects, regardless of sponsor type. Please work with OSPR to develop your official proposal budget to ensure adherence to:
OSPR will prepare your budget information in the KSC Internal Budget Template, making any adjustments as needed to accommodate specific sponsor requirements. OSPR will also translate your internal budget into any required sponsor budget forms for you.
Can I put that in my grant budget? Under federal cost principles (OMB Circular A-21), in order for a cost to be charged to a sponsored agreement it must be:
Including (or Being) a Subrecipient
If you plan to include another institution on your proposal as a subrecipient (subcontractor/subaward), please inform OSPR early in the proposal preparation process. Sponsors typically require such arrangements to be formally stated in the proposal document. The following paperwork is therefore required from the collaborating institution's office of sponsored projects or equivalent institutional authority prior to proposal submission:
If you or your potential collaborator has questions, please direct them to Penny Miceli, Director of OSPR.
If you have been asked to perform work on another institution's grant proposal as a subrecipient, please work with OSPR in the same way you normally would when putting together a proposal. These "subcontracts" are handled in just the same way, and OSPR will assist you in putting together the required materials, and routing them through the KSC approval process.
Institutional Codes
The following institutional codes are often required elements of external grant proposal.
Routing for Approval
When submitting a proposal to an external sponsor it is important to note that awards are almost always made to the institution rather than to the individual faculty member. KSC acts as the fiscal agent and is responsible for making certain the terms of the award are fulfilled. Therefore, all proposals must undergo an institutional approval process in which the proposal is routed for sign-off by the following individuals prior to submission:
OSPR will assist in the routing process by preparing a proposal folder containing all necessary materials and by shepherding the folder around campus for signature. The following items should be provided to OSPR one week in advance to begin the process:
Note, although it is possible to begin the routing process with a near-complete draft of the proposal narrative, the budget should be in final form before routing it for signatures.
Submitting Your Proposal
Before an application for a grant to a government agency, foundation, corporation, or other entity can be submitted, it must be routed for approval and submitted to the Office of Sponsored Projects and Research (OSPR).
Sponsor guidelines will usually dictate the how your proposal is to be submitted.
For paper (hardcopy) submissions, OSPR is happy to submit your application to the sponsor on your behalf, covering any associated shipping costs.
Many sponsors now have electronic submission systems. OSPR is happy to interact with these submission systems for you, uploading your required information and documents. Some submission systems allow only the Authorize Organizational Representative (AOR) to submit proposals, and require an institutional registration in advance. For most of these systems, OSPR is already registered. Contact OSPR if you have questions.

What Americans Really Want: How Demographic, Economic, and Financial Forces are Reshaping Americans' Housing, Neighborhood, and Community Preferences
America became a "suburban" nation after World War II, principally by meeting the needs of the Baby Boomers. The "American Dream" was to own a home on a large lot in the suburbs. That was then and this is now. The American dream is now plural; people want more out of their neighborhoods and communities than in the past. This presentation will review how changing demographics, economics, and financing are changing Americans' preferences for housing, neighborhoods and communities. It will also synthesize several national housing preference surveys to show that what Americans want now is very different from what they wanted just a generation ago. The presentation will show the mismatch between what Americans want and what they have, and summarize options to close the gap.

Coming to Our Census: Utah's Demographic Transformation
Utah is in the midst of an unprecedented economic, demographic, and cultural transformation that has its origins in national and international trends. As Utah has emerged as an area of economic and educational opportunity, it has attracted new populations, particularly of young adults. These most recent in-migrants have come increasingly from other nations. As each of these new population groups has come to our state, new ideas, traditions and possibilities energize and enrich our communities. Importantly, these transformations are most profoundly experienced by our youth. We are privileged to be both witnesses to and participants in the emergence of this New Utah.

The High Costs of Urban Sprawl (and the Benefits of Compact Development)
Since World War II, urban or suburban sprawl has become the nation's dominant development pattern. In widely cited studies, Professor Ewing has rated metropolitan areas and counties with respect to sprawl, and studied the relationship between sprawl and such outcomes as walking and transit use, obesity rates, and greenhouse gas emissions. Much of South Salt Lake County (e.g. Sandy and Draper) is classic sprawl. Much of North Salt Lake County is more compact, including Downtown, the Avenues, and Sugarhouse. Compact development is possible in newly developed and redeveloped areas such as City Creek, Gateway, and Daybreak. This lecture will review the available empirical evidence on the high costs of sprawl and the benefits of compact development, including reduced vehicle emissions, energy consumption, and traffic accidents, as well as increased physical activity and social interaction. The talk also acknowledges some benefits of sprawl and will conclude with policy recommendations to increase the likelihood that Salt Lake City will look more like Boston and less like Atlanta in 2050.

Cities as Museums of Change
One of celebrated writer Jane Jacobs' most intriguing observations was the way that cities exist in time and space. Cities are fluid, not static, more the stuff of movies than still photographs. The evolving scenes we all act in as we move through our places can be imagined as cinematic moments — dramatic, hilarious, frightening, delicious, responding to every dimension of our emotions, intelligence, even our bodies. This lecture will present observations of how our places perform and how we perform in our places. With a view of cities as ecological systems, we'll explore the dynamic ways our places change in in time. The lecture will be illustrated with video examples from around the world, as well as present case studies from Stephen's work in Salt Lake City.

Bounding Uncertainty: Scenario Analysis and Peak Oil
The future is, of course, unknowable. Yet planning has often been based on a single set of assumptions about the future. In an era of increasing volatility, especially with respect to global environmental and economic conditions, we need to develop a new structure that explicitly and constructively incorporates uncertainty. Scenario analysis, a method already familiar to many planners, is one approach that might be adapted to provide this framework.

Good Urbanism
We have the knowledge, the tools, and the will to make good places. Yet, the actual delivery of these places remains challenging and all too rare. Professor Ellin will offer a basic strategy for clearing the path toward good urbanism consisting of 6 steps: Prospect, Polish, Propose, Prototype, Promote, and Present. Anyone can walk this path, experts in the field of urbanism and others alike. The only precondition for stepping onto it is a willingness to go somewhere new.

A Rebirth in City-Making
The planning field is experiencing, once again, a fundamental redirection with respect to planning and city-making. The data-heavy comprehensive plans of past generations – which concentrated on one-size-fits-all processes and overly safe, yet, unreachable goals – are being eclipsed by a new set of more nimble and promising planning products. In cities across the continent, planning is being reconceived through civic engagement, visioning exercises, and a rediscovery of project and neighborhood-level planning. By focusing on smaller geographies, catalytic projects, new collaborations, and measurable outcomes, savvy planners and cities are pressing for success over stasis. Part of this can be explained by the dispiriting difficulties in addressing society's 'wicked problems' – another part by the social and economic demands for valued places, innovative design, and urban dynamism. This talk will focus on three trends in city planning that are helping to remake the field, as well as our cities and communities.

Knowing and Valuing in the Urban Realm
Time and circumstance question whether human societies are capable of securing a future sufficient to sustain further development of human values. In approaching this question, we find that we now live between two worlds – one not yet fully exhausted and one not yet fully born. The former is increasingly fraught with paralyzing dilemmas and no longer offers either a clear focus or a full mobilization of effort. The latter is but a suggestive shade of things to come. Within these two worlds are different ways of knowing and, more fundamentally, different stages in the evolution of human values. Professor Emmi will identify the various dilemmas in which we are presently stuck and how emergent ways of knowing and valuing might offer a way forward.

Man denies causing two soldiers' deaths
Updated 12:36pm Wednesday 20th February 2013 in News
A MAN has denied causing the death of two soldiers by dangerous driving.
Colin Pattison, 52, was charged after the two men, who were based at the Infantry Training Centre, Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire, died following a collision between his lorry and the Army Land Rover ambulance they were travelling in.
At Carlisle Crown Court, Pattison pleaded not guilty to causing the deaths of Lance Sergeant David Mark Gartland, 40, of the Grenadier Guards and Private James Bell Fairburn Austin, 24, of 400 Troop Royal Logistics Corps.
The two men were returning from a training exercise at Warcop firing range, near Appleby, when the crash happened on September 1, 2011.
Mr Pattison, of New Close Lodge, Newclose Lane, Goole, North Humberside, was granted unconditional bail.
The trial is due to start on September 3.

Lydiate recognised as 6 Nations' bestby Nick Hartley
Wales Flanker Dan Lydiate has been named RBS Player of the Championship for this season's 6 Nations.
Lydiate, who played a pivotal role in Wales Grand Slam Triumph, headed a shortlist packed with fellow teammates including Mike Phillips, Sam Warburton and Alex Cuthbert.
The 23-year-old was acknowledged for a string of game-winning performances, against Scotland and France in particular, although his efforts all tournament received rave reviews.
– Dan Lydiate, Wales and Dragons flanker
I am really surprised to be honest. I am genuinely chuffed to bits.
He succeeds Andrea Masi in claiming the RBS Player of the Championship award.
– Dan Lydiate, Wales and Dragons flanker
It tops off an amazing competition for me and for Wales. To be part of such a talented Wales team and win the Grand Slam in Cardiff on Saturday was incredible in itself but to then be voted Player of the Championship is absolutely unbelievable. It is a massive honour to win, especially given the quality of the other players up for the award. Thanks to everyone who voted for me, it means a lot.
Lydiate secured over 25% of the public vote, whilst Ireland's Jonathan Sexton came in second with 12%. Italian captain Sergio Parisse was third, with 11.6%.

"Mobile wallet will not happen just because you can pay with your phone. It will happen when the value-add far exceeds what is available with plastic, and there is an end-to-end integrated checkout process."
That is how Schwark Satyavolu, CEO of Truaxis, now a Mastercard company, put it. We agree. In fact, we believe that the mobile wallet meets all of Satyavolu's standards for mass adoption. Value-add far exceeds plastic? Check. End-to-end integrated checkout process? Check again.
Let us consider PayPal's mobile wallet solution, which launched in earlier this year. PayPal's wallet offers consumers the following benefits:
- discounts and special offers delivered to the smartphone;
- purchases at local PayPal-enabled stores made in advance via the PayPal app;
- storage of receipts; automatic refunds via virtual currency;
- easy-to-use history of activities; past purchases can be stored as "favorites" to save time on purchases down the road.
We could go on.
And soon PayPal will offer the additional advantage of floating the payment for five days. The seller is paid instantly, but the buyer will have five days to fund the purchase from any card or account linked to his digital wallet.
Do the value of these features exceed those from plastic payment cards? We think the answer is check, check, checkmate.

Willimantic – Police say they charged five underage Eastern Connecticut State University students with breach of peace late Thursday following reports of an out-of-control party in Willimantic late Thursday.
Police responded shortly before midnight to the area of Pennywood Lane and broke up a party of between 50 and 75 people. Five women between the ages of 18 and 20 were charged and released on a written promise to appear in court.
Those charged were: Bridget Begley, 19; Christina Dwyer, 18; Daniela Avila, 20; Leanna Cotter, 19; and Elizabete Amaral-Florido, 20. Police did not provide addresses for those charged.
Police, in a statement, said they expect more future arrests "as a result of these large, unregulated events."

If you've lost someone very close to you, you understand the grief that follows can consume you. It's almost always a factor in cases of depression. We met a Sioux Falls woman who is still on a journey back from what she calls the deep dark night of the soul after losing her brother 6 years ago.
Kelly Bohrer's world was shattered when her brother, Kevin Knudsen, tragically died after a car accident on September 29th, 2004. The unexpected and sudden death of her only sibling left her in such despair with emotions she never knew existed. She couldn't understand why someone as young as Kevin, only 42, with a wife and 6 children would be taken from them.
Kelly says wiping away tears, "It almost tore my family apart. I couldn't make sense of what was happening to me. How could I possibly explain to my husband and children if I couldn't understand it?"
Psychiatrist Dr. Matt Stanley with Avera Behavioral Health says, "We don't stop and think about it, but grief is far more prevalent in our lives than we realize. What we see on admissions to the hospital at Avera Behavioral Health is grief is almost always a factor, sometimes the precipitating factor, sometimes it's the contributing factor we deal with in cases of major depression."
Kelly says she was in a really bad place for a really long time. She was in and out of the hospital for a year and a half, on suicide watch two or three times and barely functioning at home or work. After a lot of individual and group counseling at Avera Behavioral Health and the right medication she says it's starting to get manageable to live again.
Kelly says, "It left such a hole in me. Part of me died the day my brother died. I'm stronger now. I rely of God. Basically, if not by the Grace of God and the prayers of many, my wonderful support system and the great help at Behavioral Health I would not be here and I tried not to be here. But here I am. God has a purpose for me."
Although it's not easy, the reason Kelly talks openly about her journey is because she wants the stigma of mental health and depression to be wiped clear. She says you have to talk about it and talk to someone or you won't get better. So out of something horrible she wants you to know there is hope because there is help.
In honor of her brother Kevin Knudsen, Kelly started a scholarship fund for kids who can't afford the acceleration program. She wants to keep his winning spirit alive. Read more about that by going to: http://www.avera.org/pdf/amck/HUMAN%20TOUCH%20SPRING%2007.pdf

Willow Lung-Amam
Dr. Lung-Amam's scholarship focuses on link between social inequality and the built environment. Her work looks at immigration and diversity in American cities and suburbs, and social and environmental justice issues as they relate to the built form of cities, urban policy, and planning practice. Dr. Lung-Amam's approach centers on a collaborative and community-engaged research on the issues faced by socially disadvantaged groups. Over the past 15 years, she has worked professionally on master-planning projects in low-income communities, and with non-profits, public agencies, and private firms on issues of public housing, community development, and urban design.
Dr. Lung-Amam is currently working on a book on Asian immigration in Silicon Valley, which investigates how recent trends in high tech immigration are reshaping suburban form, geographies of race, and politics of development in the region. Her interests in issues around immigration, race, and the politics of suburban development and planning continue to evolve with research looking at Asian faith institutions in Silicon Valley suburbia, Asian immigration and the politics of race in schools in the American South, the impact of suburban redevelopment projects on immigrant and communities of color in the Washington, DC metro area, and social capital in ethnically diverse communities.
Prior to coming the University of Maryland, Dr. Lung-Amam taught graduate and undergraduate courses on the cultural landscape of American cities, user-centered planning and design approaches, and diversity in design. At the University of Maryland, she teaches a graduate course entitled, "Planning and Design in the Multicultural Metropolis".
Dr. Lung-Amam is a faculty affiliate at the University of Maryland's Center for Race, Gender, and Ethnicity and a member of the Qualitative Research Interest Group. She is also a former postdoctoral research fellow at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in the Department of City and Regional Planning Program and faculty fellow at UNC's Center for Urban and Regional Studies.
Dr. Lung-Amam's work has received recognition in multiple fellowships for scholarship on underrepresented groups and social change. She has presented her research at over 30 academic and professional conferences and invited lectures across a variety of disciplines. Dr. Lung-Amam's work has appeared in Transcultural Cities: Border-crossing and Placemaking edited by Jeffrey Hou, Journal of Urban Design, and Amerasia Journal. Her book and project reviews have appeared in Berkeley Planning Journal and Places.

The two recent "snowjams" marked the third occasion in four years metro Atlanta was shut down due to snow and ice. While politicians and officials are collaborating to determine how to better handle these situations in the future, the infrastructure to work remotely is already in place. In fact, we've been named the most telework-friendly city in the country by a Microsoft study.
While about 600,000 people in the region telework at least occasionally in metro Atlanta, there is room for growth. Look into improving your operational strategy and business continuity plan by taking advantage of consulting services available to Georgia employers through Georgia Commute Options. When unexpected events make it so you can't depend on roads, you need to be able to rely on the ability of your company and your employees to work from home.

Niles Canyon Sunday around 4:30????

Was wondering if anyone knew what was going on? No police just the search and rescue trucks!

Same thing happened this afternoon. Saw Special Resource Unit trucks and Hayward cops. Didn't know what was going on, but most of them were on foot as if they're looking for something.
on Jun 5, 2011 at 11:38 am
If you didn't see emergency lights.. it's probably a training exercise.

Locally, a Boston jury recently acquitted a former firefighter of mail fraud after he was caught engaging in bodybuilding while on disability leave. In response to an outcry over the acquittal of this apparently non-disabled defendant, jurors explained to the Boston Globe that while they considered him guilty of trying to defraud the pension system, "they did not accept that he was guilty of two counts of mail fraud, a federal crime that could have put the muscular 49-year-old behind bars for up to 20 years." He should have should have been charged in state court for simple fraud, jurors reportedly concluded.
But cases like this are unusual. The vast majority of criminal cases never reach juries, much less the Supreme Court, so there are few checks on federal prosecutors who abuse a vague, expansive criminal code. We might all be prosecuted for committing "three felonies a day," my friend Harvey Silverglate has written.

771 Fewer Calories
29g Less Fat
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
3 tablespoons sugar-free strawberry jam
1 (18.25-ounce) box white cake mix
1 (0.30-ounce) package sugar-free strawberry gelatin
3 large egg whites
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
Fresh Strawberries for garnish (optional)
Strawberry cream cheese frosting:
1 (8-ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
4 tablespoons softened butter
1/4 cup sugar-free strawberry jam
1 teaspoon strawberry extract
3 cups confectioners' sugar
Freshly sliced strawberries, for garnish, optional
Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. Spray two 9-inch round cake pans with nonstick spray. Line with wax-paper rounds; spray with nonstick spray.
Puree the strawberries and jam in a food processor. Set aside.
Combine the cake mix and gelatin in a large mixing bowl. Beat in the strawberry puree, egg whites, oil, and water with hand mixer at medium speed until thickened, about 2 minutes.
Divide the batter evenly between the pans. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool in pans 10 minutes. Invert the layers onto racks and remove the wax paper; let cool completely.
For the frosting: With clean beaters, beat the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl with a hand mixer until creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the jam and the strawberry extract. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, beating until smooth.
Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate. Spread 1/3 of the frosting over the cake layer. Top with the remaining layer. Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake. Garnish with the strawberries, if using.

Loved it!
By Anonymous on August 14, 2013
Thanks for the lighter recipes. Having had gastric bypass surgery I have had to go sugar free. With doing this I have found that to make cream cheese frosting splenda can be used and it is wonderful. Also if a person didn't want the cream cheese frosting, we have used light whipped topping to frost our strawberry cakes. LOVE this recipe,
By Kim Waldrop on August 26, 2010

Thanks SO much for taking the time to re-work some of these recipes Bobby!! I have loved your Mom and her recipes for years, but have moved away from using a lot of them as I have needed to make some healthier food choices. I am so excited to be able to revisit some of these delicious "new classics" . I hope you'll consider puting a book together with your updated recipes.
Much luck and happiness to you all!!
