More frustration for London Colney
11:40am Friday 21st February 2014 in Sport
London Colney were again denied by the weather as their home match with London Lions was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
The Reserves managed to get in a game away to Baldock Town Reserves at the Hitchin Arena on a 3G surface last weekend.
The Blueboys kicked off and had an early chance when Josh Galloway broke clear but he found the Baldock keeper Connor Hills in good form as he pushed his low shot away.
Adam Halford tried a 20-yard effort which Hills managed to hold onto while Galloway found the back of the net but the linesman's flag went up for offside.
Martin Collins went close with two good strikes from the edge of the box, with the first going just past Hills' right-hand post whilst the second was just over the bar.
Galloway again had an effort on goal go close whilst Alex Davison, pushing up from the back, saw his goalbound shot deflected over the bar by a defender.
Jack Woods then set up Dale Etherington and his firm, low drive was pushed around the post by Hills.
The Baldock keeper made an excellent save as he pushed away Jack Woods' drive.
Just before the break Dean Thompson tried his luck with a fine cross-cum-shot which again saw Hills make a smart save to his right.
In the second half it was the same story as efforts from Collins, Galloway and Elliot Smith were all saved by Hills as the matched ended 0-0.
London Colney remain unbeaten in the league having won ten of their matches.

The Broncos placed LB Joe Mays and TE Dan Gronkowski on injured reserve on Monday following injuries suffered in the team's Week 13 loss to the Chiefs.
Mays blew out his left knee and Gronkowski injured his left ankle in the 10-6 loss. Gronkowski did re-enter the game after getting hurt.
Mays is tied for eighth on the team with 40 tackles this season. Gronkowski had eight catches for 65 yards this season.
The way we see it
The Broncos haven't filled the roster spots yet, though another linebacker or a defensive back could be added. Mays' injury is just another blow to the Broncos' defense this season.

Arena Stage announced this week it has received donations totaling more than $100 million for the renovation of its facilities and the creation of a state-of-the-art theatre campus. This was made possible by local philanthropists Gilbert and Jaylee Mead, who donated close to $35 million—prompting Arena to honor their exceptional generosity by naming the new complex Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theatre.
The Meads' gift is the largest ever made to an American regional theatre and one of the top ten largest gifts to a non-profit arts organization in the US. The gifts support The Next Stage Campaign, a $120 million fundraising project launched in 2002.
"The Next Stage Campaign will create and showcase a new building and more," says John M. Derrick, Jr., president of the Arena Stage Board of Trustees. "It also moves Arena Stage one step closer to becoming the national center for the development of new American work."
Arena Stage's artistic director Molly Smith and executive director Stephen
Richard announced the milestone and unveiled Arena's new name at a press conference at the theatre. Smith, who directed her first musical at Arena with the Meads' support, was especially proud to announce this significant honor.
"Infinitely passionate about the American musical and exceptionally generous, the Meads are true visionaries," Smith comments. "Because they are dedicated to sustaining and encouraging the development of American theatre, their gift will be a legacy not only for our theatre alone, but to this city and the nation."
The Meads played a pivotal role in the overall fundraising effort by issuing a challenge to Arena in September 2005: if the theatre could raise $20 million in the following year, the Meads would match those funds dollar for dollar. The combination of donations Arena received over the year allowed the theatre to meet that challenge and ultimately put its fundraising over the $100 million mark.
"We are so pleased to be able to play a part in bringing this incredible building to Washington," says Gilbert Mead. "We look forward to many wonderful performances at Arena Stage for years to come and to seeing the impact Arena will continue to have on the American theatre."
"Gilbert and Jaylee Mead have a long history with Arena Stage, going back as far as 1977 when they first became subscribers. They've been board members since 1991 and are newly appointed Life Trustees," says executive director Stephen Richard. "Their generosity will not only make Arena's art better for its artists and patrons, but also further American theatre as an art form by building a home for American playwrights."
To date, Arena Stage has raised 85 percent of the funds needed for the $120 million project. Arena's own Board of Trustees donated more than $23 million, and the theatre has also received private contributions at the $1 million level or more from Mrs. Josephine Ammerman, Diane and Norman Bernstein, Donald and Nancy de Laski, Fannie Mae Foundation, Freddie Mac Foundation, Joan and David Maxwell, Wendy and Franklin Raines, The Wallace Foundation and two additional anonymous donors.
Arena's redevelopment is in line with the District of Columbia's pledge to improve the entire Southwest Waterfront. Arena Stage is poised to be the first major redevelopment in this dynamic area, a comprehensive effort which will include a new ballpark for the Nationals, DC's Major League Baseball team, in addition to serving as a magnet for other arts, entertainment and retail endeavors.
Executive director Stephen Richard notes, "Of course, we must also acknowledge the overwhelming and generous support of the District, without which this project simply would not be possible. The District made the construction of our new theatre a priority of the Anacostia Waterfront Initiative in Southwest, and has understood from the outset that the arts can be a powerful engine for economic development and neighborhood revitalization."
Ward 6 Councilmember Sharon Ambrose remarks, "Arena Stage continues to be the indispensable anchor of the District's efforts to redevelop the Southwest Waterfront. Once completed, Arena's new theatre complex will immediately become a signature piece of waterfront architecture—another landmark building for Washington, D.C. that will attract tourists and architecture enthusiasts, as well as theatre patrons."
The new, expansive complex of three theatres, multiple workspaces and artist apartments will function as a 24-hour theatre campus designed to enable artists to live, work and perform in the space while also serving the needs of diverse audiences, including community groups and students from around the region.

Liberal Scout leaders - while supporting the proposal to accept gay youth - have made clear they want the ban on gay adults lifted as well.
In contrast, conservatives with the Scouts - including some churches that sponsor Scout units - wanted to continue excluding gay youths, in some cases threatening to defect if the ban were lifted.
"We are deeply saddened," said Frank Page, president of the Southern Baptist Convention's executive committee after learning of the result. "Homosexual behavior is incompatible with the principles enshrined in the Scout oath and Scout law."

Actually, this set rates a much higher scale, such as a "10". These carving tools are without a doubt the finest grade instruments that I've had the benefit of using. Besides that, they're EXTREMELY sharp. (Thanks for the included box of Band-Aids, they're very handy)(and I'm a very careful&deliberate person). To anyone considering Relief Carving: This set is "Par Excellence".

This is a very nice carving set, perfect for smaller relief carvings less than 18" or so. The blade selection is good, and the blades come sharp and ready to carve. The mallet handle feels comfortable in my large hands. The interchangeable blades in the set are similar to the blades used in the Flexcut palm tool sets. Extra handles can be purchased from Flexcut. Recommended.

I had often wondered how FlexCut carving tools would stand up against the big, expensive sets. Then I saw them in action and was amazed. These tools are sharp as can be and ready right out of the box. Having the long and palm handles essentially gives you two sets of carving tools for the same price along with the sharpening essentials. If you have ever wanted to start learning how to carve, this is the kit to really look at. It is also a great set to travel with. It fits anywhere in the camper.

The first president to officially "pardon" the turkey was George H.W. Bush, and has been continued throughout the rest of the presidencies. Pres. Obama's first Thanksgiving in office, after pardoning the turkey announced that he was "Planning to eat this sucker!" His daughters Malia and Sasha told him that he couldn't. It's no surprise that Obama wanted to eat the turkey, because the turkeys presented to the president are bred, pampered and hand-picked just for the president. Two are chosen out of 25 hatchlings and then are "trained" to be accustomed to human interaction. They want their turkeys to behave and be calm when the ceremony is televised.
This year's turkeys have yet to be named but are coming from Willmar Poultry Company. In fact, they were bred and raised by FFA High school members. These high school kids are training with flash photography and rock music to simulate the photography and noise level the ceremony will have. The two lucky turkeys to be pardoned will stay at a high end hotel, (yes, hotel) and will be flown in first class with specially designed seats to buckle them in. After they're pardoned, they're going to the livestock facility at Mount Vernon, the previous home of George Washington. Previously pardoned turkeys include: Apple and Cider, Courage and Carolina, Pumpkin and Pecan, May and Flower, Flyer and Fryer, Marshmallow and Yam, Biscuits and Gravy, Stars and Stripes, and Katie and Zac.

City partners with Sprint Nextel in Power & Light District
The City of Kansas City, Mo., has signed a 15-year contract with Sprint Nextel to lease conduit in the Power & Light District and Sprint Center arena area.
"We are hopeful that this partnership will become a model of how the City links service providers and their customers," City Manager Wayne A. Cauthen said. "The City strives to be a premier provider of telecommunications infrastructure capabilities, not only to support its current business partners, but also to attract new partners to Kansas City. This is the first step."
The City also plans to take a leadership role in providing opportunities throughout the entertainment district that will allow all telecommunication providers equal access to the area via a conduit infrastructure built and managed by the City.
"We plan to continue to evolve as an innovative leader providing the capabilities and telecommunications infrastructure that influence economic growth for Kansas City," said Mary J. Miller, acting chief information officer. "The construction of the Power & Light District presented a rare opportunity for the City to install conduit, and our goal is to provide a long-term lease of a portion of the conduit to individual service providers at a reduced fee, compared to the cost of building independent facilities."
The conduit installation will help reduce and may eliminate street degradation and disruption to pedestrian and traffic flow. This will be significant in this environment as the need to improve and advance technology continues. This reduction in street damage largely will be due to manholes and handholes that have been strategically placed throughout the district to provide easy access to this conduit.
"Sprint is thrilled to be a part of the infrastructure upon which great things will be built in the entertainment district," said Tom Murphy, vice president of experiential marketing at Sprint Nextel. "From the time we broke ground on the Sprint Center to the day where families will be enjoying the amenities the district has to offer, Sprint is proud to lay the foundation with what may seem like a simple conduit, but in reality is the communications link to downtown's future."
Other benefits the City will realize from the conduit include improved service delivery to residents, support for emergency preparedness and public safety, revenue generating opportunities, and a link to the underserved. The approximate life expectancy is 30 years.

Save the Cannon and More!
Date:February 22, 2013 - 1:00pm - 4:00pm
Location:Cranbrook Institute of Science
Cranbrook Institute of Science will offer the public the opportunity to help in the conservation of an 18th century cannon during Winter Break, February 18-22 and Spring Break, April 1-5. Discovered in the Detroit River in 2011 by the Detroit Police Dive Team, the cannon broke the water's surface for the first time in more than 200 years. During the effort to "Save the Cannon" at Cranbrook, visitors will use brushes to gently remove the grime of two centuries that is slowly being loosened using a special electrolysis bath at the Institute of Science. They'll also have the opportunity to make and take home a souvenir of their experience.
Part of the Institute's current Extreme Deep and Dive Deep exhibitions exploring the life and artifacts at the depths of the Earth's waters, how the cannon ended up in the river is a mystery. Bearing the monogram of King George III of Great Britain, the cannon may have been dumped into the Detroit River after "all the Kings arms" were ordered destroyed as the British retreated from America in 1796.
Chlorine dissolved in the water has penetrated deep into the iron cannon. If left to dry out, the chlorine salts would crystallize, breaking up the cannon. Submerged in a mixture of purified water and Sodium Carbonate for the last 5 months, an electrical current in the solution has been pulling the negatively-charged chlorine ions out of the cannon in preparation for final steps in the restoration processes. The cannon will be removed from the tank and visitors are invited to use small brushes to help loosen the rust, revealing more of the detail of the cannon. Following the cleaning, the cannon will be immersed in a bath of ethanol to displace the water, then coated with a solution of tannic acid to prevent further corrosion. Lastly, a layer of microcrystalline wax will be applied to seal the cannon.
"Save the Cannon" activities will take place daily from 1-4 p.m. February 18-22 and April 1-5. The Extreme Deep and Dive Deep exhibitions, and the cannon event, are free with Museum admission.

All other high-end iPod speakers have to suck in their bellies and hug the wall when iNuke Boom walks into the room. Behringer says the $29,999.99 iNuke is the loudest iPod speaker in the world. I think only a Vogon could conceive of a bigger or louder system.
The iNuke is the size of a car (4 feet tall x 8 feet wide), weighs 700 pounds and contains a warhead amp of 10,000 watts. That little spot at the top is the iPod. And apparently it's not a joke.
Behringer came up with this iPodsaurus to celebrate the launch of EUROSOUND, the company's new line of consumer audio products.
The iNuke Boom will be unveiled officially with the entire EUROSOUND line at CES next month. No more details will be available until then. Honestly, I'm more than a little afraid of this, but I really want to be there when they crank Rammstein .

Twickenham's Gilbert quits F3 for GP3 Series shot at Silverstone (From Wandsworth Guardian)

Twickenham's Gilbert quits F3 for GP3 Series shot at Silverstone
12:00pm Friday 4th July 2014 in Sport By Stuart Amos
ADD Motorsports driver Mitchell Gilbert has called time on his stint in Formula 3 to land a dream drive in the GP3 Series at Silverstone this weekend.
The Australian quit Fortec Motorsport after the latest of many miserable weekends in the FIA European F3 Championship, which saw him finish 11th, last and 17th in the latest three rounds at the Norisring in Germany.
The Twickenham 20-year-old will line up for Italian team Trident in the on the undercard of the British Grand Prix and he cannot wait to show what he's capable of in new surroundings.
He said: "I'm looking forward to a new start. It's been a difficult season and there have been lots of problems – and we didn't feel we were getting enough support.
"But this is now about looking forward. I got a call to join Trident and I'm really excited about the opportunity.
"They need to get back on track and so do I, so it's a relationship that we are really positive about.
"There's not a lot of time, but sometimes that can be a good thing – we're hoping to be pretty good straight away."
The GP3 Series follows the entire European leg of the Formula One Series - and Gilbert is excited about the opportunities that may come with it.
He continued: "I'm trying to look at it as an opportunity. Following Formula One will be a great experience and you never know who may be watching. It will be good to be on television as well."
Although Gilbert is unsure what will happen after this weekend, seeing out the season in the series with Trident is very much on the agenda.
His first time out in the car will be on Friday when he will get a 45-minute practice before the qualifier on Saturday.
And after meeting the team and finalising the details, he's raring to get going.
He added: "I spent the day yesterday with the manager Giacomo Ricci who helped me on the simulator to prepare as much as possible.
"The tyre is the same tyre as F1 – it won't last long, just two laps or three at the most - so that's the thing that will take the most getting used to.

Judge John Allen of the Chattahoochee District informed Georgia Governor Nathan Deal that he will be retiring at the end of October of this year.
Allen is now 70-years-old, and has a deep history in with the Columbus community. He grew-up in the Booker T. Washington Housing Complex in Columbus, and graduated from a segregated Spencer High School.
Allen served as a Tuskegee Airman and started the first bi-racial law firm in Columbus in 1983, along with Judge Bobby Peters.
Now, Allen has served as a Muscogee County Superior Court Judge for 20 years. Prior to this experience, he served as a Recorder's Court Judge, and a State Court Judge. Currently, he is the only African American judge serving in the district.
"I think I have accomplished what I have accomplished and it's just time to move on to another phase in my life," says Allen, who is looking forward to spending more time with his family.
Governor Deal is expected to name his replacement by the end of the year.

The District 112 School Board and members of the North Shore Education Association voted last week to approve a new two-year contract for the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 school years, according to District 112.
Want Highland Park news in your inbox? Subscribe to Patch's newsletter.
The vote comes a month after a short-lived teachers' strike and a marathon negotiating session that ended it. The board voted to amend the school calendar so the day missed because of the strike will be made up at the end of the year.
"The board was very happy this contract leaves them with a balanced budget without needing to draw from reserve funds," district spokeswoman Andi Rosen told the Chicago Tribune last week.
Details from the newly approved contract include step increases for eligible teachers on the salary schedule. Teachers who are not eligible for step increases will receive a $1,000 pay increase each year they are not eligible, meaning a 2.7 percent average salary increase for each year of the agreement.
Lane changes, a contentious topic during the negotiations, will take effect at the midway point of each contract year. After the 2012-2013 school year, however, lane movement is limited to one lane every two years.
Joint committees will be formed to establish standards for coursework eligible for professional development credit as well as for alternatives to the current salary structure, according to a news release from District 112.
The full contract is available on the district's website.

Undergraduate Majors
Bachelor of Science in Education Degree
Science students who would like to become teachers may earn a Bachelor of Science in Education degree in chemistry. It can include unified science certification to teach any of the beginning sciences in addition to all levels of chemistry in grades 9-12.
The future depends greatly on how people solve the world's problems, and problem solving is what chemists and physicists do best. From medicinal chemistry to research in superconductivity, there are abundant opportunities in the sciences. The programs offered at UCM prepare students for many rewarding cutting-edge careers.
The chemistry degree program at UCM provides a balanced curriculum of classroom instruction and practical laboratory experience. Students with a major in chemistry receive extensive state of the art, hands-on experience with instrumentation, such as UV-Visible, FTIR, and FTNMR spectroscopy; chromatography (GC/MS/MS/HPLC); calorimetry; fluorometry; electrochemical analysis and others. A research component in the chemistry program allows students an opportunity to work independently and to use acquired skills. All teacher education programs are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education and the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. In addition, secondary teacher education programs in the sciences are accredited by the National Science Teachers Association.
About the Faculty
Active research, workshop and seminar participation keep chemistry faculty current in the ever-advancing field of science. In addition to a wide range of academic and professional experience, all faculty members in the program have earned doctorates in their fields of expertise.

Chemistry students are provided very attractive financial assistance should they choose to continue their studies at the graduate level. Graduate studies in biochemistry, analytical, organic, inorganic, chemical education, petroleum and pharmaceutical chemistry are among the numerous options available.
Student Involvement
Students are encouraged to supplement their academic programs through participation in campus organizations of special professional, service and academic interest. The American Chemical Society and the National Science Teachers Association provide opportunities for members to have personal and informal association with the chemistry faculty outside the classroom. The societies meet regularly, sponsor lectures on contemporary science topics, and provide avenues of participation for campus activities. Students who merit academic recognition may be invited to join one or more of the honorary societies in science, such as Sigma Pi Sigma or Beta Beta Beta.
Chemistry students are considered for employment as laboratory or program assistants after completion of a minimum amount of training and study. This opportunity provides students with valuable teaching, research and technical experience.

Coaches don't sleep much leading up to Signing Day. The exhaustion adds up in bags under the eyes, untucked shirts, lines in the face, and a lack of coordination when attempting to complete even the simplest tasks.
Evidence of this sleep deprivation sits in hilarious GIF form after the jump.
Given their current torrid pace on the recruiting trail, this will mark one of the few times Florida State was left hanging today.

The Internet is part of everyone's life, every day. We use the Internet at work, home, for enjoyment, and to connect with those close to us.
However, being constantly connected brings increased risk of theft, fraud, and abuse. No country, industry, community, or individual is immune to cyber risks. As a nation, we face constant cyber threats against our critical infrastructure and economy. As individuals, cybersecurity risks can threaten our finances, identity, and privacy. Since our way of life depends on critical infrastructure and the digital technology that operates it, cybersecurity is one of our country's most important national security priorities, and we each have a role to play—cybersecurity is a shared responsibility.
National Cyber Security Awareness Month is designed to engage and educate public and private sector partners through events and initiatives with the goal of raising awareness about cybersecurity and increasing the resiliency of the nation in the event of a cyber incident. October 2014 marks the 11th Annual National Cyber Security Awareness Month sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security in cooperation with the National Cyber Security Alliance and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center.
Our Shared Responsibility
Through a series of events and initiatives across the country, DHS engages public and private sector partners to raise awareness and educate Americans about cybersecurity and increase the resiliency of the nation and its cyber infrastructure.
This year, it's easy to take part in National Cyber Security Awareness Month by participating in any or all of the following weeks. Stay tuned for more information about specific events and resources for each week, including social media resources to help your organization promote each week's theme.
Week One: Oct 1-3
Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility, and everyone can take a few simple steps to make the Internet more secure. This week will also highlight efforts related to Executive Order 13636 to strengthen the security and resilience of the nation's critical infrastructure.
Week Two: October 6-10 Secure Development of IT Products
Building security into information technology products, including the phones, tablets, and computers we use every day, is key to enhanced cybersecurity.
Week Three: October 13-17
Highlights the importance of protecting critical infrastructure and properly securing all devices, including household items, that are connected to the Internet.
Week Four: October 20-24
Showcases what emerging and established businesses can do to protect their organization, customers, and employees.
Week Five: October 27-31
Working with law enforcement to combat cyber crime and educate the public on how to protect themselves from online crime.

Attorneys for the Charlotte Airport Commission said Tuesday that the citys efforts to stop it from running the airport are utterly baseless because the state is no longer removing airport ownership from the city, according to a court document filed Tuesday.
The city will seek an injunction Thursday against legislation passed last week in the General Assembly that created a 13-member airport commission. Even though the commission would operate Charlotte Douglas International Airport, the city would own it.
The city argues the legislatures action is unconstitutional, and cited in its court filings a July 29 letter from the Federal Aviation Administration saying it had concerns about the proposed transfer.
On July 18, the General Assembly passed a bill that would immediately transfer ownership and operation of the airport to an authority. The city filed a lawsuit to stop the legislation, and it received a temporary restraining order against the change.
A week later, legislators tried a new approach to circumvent the citys objections.
The General Assembly repealed the airport authority bill and replaced it with legislation that created a commission. Under the new plan, the city would still own the airport. But the commission would operate it, making decisions such as awarding contracts, hiring and firing and approving expansion plans.
The City Council and Mayor Patsy Kinsey oppose that plan.
But in a preview of Thursdays arguments, the airport commission attorneys say the new legislation addresses the citys objections outlined in its lawsuit.
Under the authority act, a newly created outside entity would have been responsible for operating the airport, reads the commissions objection, written in part by attorney and former Charlotte Mayor Richard Vinroot.
This is not true of the Commission Act. Instead, as the legislation makes abundantly clear, the Commission is an agency of the city that was created by amending the charter of the city of Charlotte. The distinction matters. Although the citys claims against the authority act all of which objected to the transfer of the airport lacked a strong foundation in the North Carolina Constitution, they are utterly baseless as applied to the Commission Act
At a news conference Tuesday, Vinroot said there is a little bit of crying wolf (on the citys part).
He added: Its not a transfer.
The airport commission, in its filing, argues that the legislation passed last week does not violate the FAAs authority to grant an operating certificate to the airport. Thats because, according to the filing, the commission will operate the airport as an agency of the city meaning the certificate would not transfer to a new entity and would remain with the city.
Commission attorneys said they viewed the FAA letter as routine.
On July 15, the City Council and Kinsey offered a compromise plan similar to the commission legislation passed last week. They said they would create a commission to help run the airport, though council members and the mayor would appoint all members. In addition, the city did not give a firm commitment as to what power the commission would have.
City Manager Ron Carlee declined to comment Tuesday.
We will let our team of attorneys address (the citys concerns) in court, he said. There were no shocking surprises in their filing.
Orrs ouster
Tuesdays court filings also provided new details on Carlees July 18 removal of Aviation Director Jerry Orr from the airport.
The city has said Orr resigned when he delivered a letter that day to Carlee saying that his role leading the authority had begun and that his employment with the city had ended. Vinroot said the city fired Orr.
In his affidavit, Orr said the letter he sent to Carlee was not meant to be a resignation. I believed that it was my legal duty, as the Authoritys Executive Director, to explain the provisions of the Act to Mr. Carlee and to initiate the process of implementing a smooth transition of the Airport.
Orr also said the letter was intended to be a draft and that he sent it as a courtesy in case it raised any issues. At the time he dropped it off with Carlees secretary, he didnt know the city had obtained a temporary restraining order halting the airports transfer to the authority, he said.
Soon after, Orr received a call from the city managers office saying Deputy City Manager Ron Kimble was on his way to the airport. When they met, with Carlee and City Attorney Bob Hagemann joining in by phone, Orr said he explained his reasons for sending the letter and that he was willing to continue on with the city as aviation director. Carlee insisted he leave the airport, and Orr complied, according to the affidavit.
Less than a week later, on July 23, Orr says he sent a follow-up letter to Carlee reiterating that he did not intend to resign and that he was willing to continue working for the city.
In his affidavit, Carlee said the Charlotte city attorneys interpretation of events is that once the July 18 legislation was ratified, an airport authority was created even though the temporary restraining order stopped it from executing its power.
The legislation specifically said that Orr would be the authoritys new director.
Stated another way, the legislation installing Mr. Orr as the authoritys executive director and his acceptance of that post, effectively terminated his employment with the city, Carlee said in his affidavit.
In a news conference last week, Vinroot said Orr was prepared to return as director of the airport, in accordance with the airport commission legislation passed by the General Assembly but that he would wait for the outcome of Thursdays hearing.
Questions remain
As lawmakers debated the future of the airport, one of the city of Charlottes key arguments centered around transfer of $800 million in airport bonds and the potential harm to the city and states bond rating.
Transferring the airport to an authority, the city argued, would send the bonds into default.
It became one of the central points the city made in its lawsuit to block the transfer. The document stated that the citys bond trustee had said the bonds would go into default if the airport was turned over to the authority.
The new state law passed July 26 left the possession of the airport bonds with the city to avoid this problem.
The only mention of bonds made in the new court papers deals with possible sanctions from the Federal Aviation Administration. Those could cause revenue that would be directed toward bond payments to dry up, the document states.
The bond claim has been dropped, Vinroot said.
Part of the citys argument against the legislation is that it should have been filed as a general bill, not a local bill, and subject to a possible veto by the governor.
But Vinroot said there have been 69 airport-related bills passed in the General Assembly since 1987 that were local bills, including two that related to Charlotte Douglas.
City Attorney Bob Hagemann said that, as far he knows, none of those bills triggered a lawsuit.
Im not sure any conclusion can be drawn, Hagemann said in an e-mail to the Observer.

Man held for burning-poppy posting
5:53am Monday 12th November 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
A man has been arrested for posting an image of a burning poppy on a social network site.
Kent Police said in a statement that the man, from Aylesham, was detained on Sunday night on suspicion of making malicious telecommunications and that he was in custody awaiting interview.
The force does not say whether the arrested man actually burned the poppy, or just posted the photo online.
The arrest was met with incredulity on Twitter, where people mounted a fierce discussion over civil liberties. Tom Williams, tweeting as @tomwilliamsisme, wrote: "The scary thing is, the man wasn't arrested for burning a poppy - that's not illegal. He was arrested for putting it online."
Jamie's Pants, under @thisisrjg, tweeted: "We do not have a right to not be offended. We certainly don't have a right to lock up someone for offending some people", while Thom Lumley, tweeting as @Hotstepperrr, wrote: "Dear idiots at Kent Police, burning a poppy may be obnoxious, but it is not a criminal offence."
David Allen Green, a journalist and lawyer for the New Statesman, tweeting as Jack of Kent, wrote: "What was the point of winning either World War if, in 2012, someone can be casually arrested by Kent Police for burning a poppy?"
Australian musician and comedian Tim Minchin also tweeted his incredulity, saying: "You've a right to burn a (fake!) poppy. Whether I agree with the action is utterly irrelevant. Kent Police are out of line."
Nick Pickles, director of civil liberties campaign group Big Brother Watch, criticised the arrest as "utterly ridiculous".
He said: "Kent Police need to urgently release this man and drop an utterly ridiculous investigation into something that has harmed no-one. It is not illegal to offend people and, however idiotic or insensitive the picture may have been, it is certainly not worthy of arrest."
Kent Police said in a statement: "Officers were contacted at around 4pm yesterday and alerted to the picture, which was reportedly accompanied by an offensive comment. Following an investigation by Kent Police, a 19-year-old Canterbury man was arrested on suspicion of an offence under the Malicious Communications Act. He is currently in custody."

Mozilla Starts to Follow a New Drumbeat
Published 11:51, 11 January 10
I've written often enough about Firefox and its continuing steady gains of browser market share. Here's another nice stat:
Roughly keeping pace with previous years, Firefox grew 40% worldwide. Two regions in particular continued adopting Firefox at a breakneck pace — South America (64%) and Asia (73%).
Most of the 40% growth occurred recently. In the 4 months leading up to the holiday season, Firefox added 22.8 million active daily users. During that same period last year, Firefox added 16.4 million users.
That's all well and good, but it raises the question: what should Mozilla be doing *after* it conquers the browser world – that is, once it has 50% market share? Because once that happens – and it seems to be just a matter of time – the dynamics that kept Internet Explorer on top for so long, despite its manifest weaknesses, will kick in for Firefox (although let's hope its coders don't get as lazy as Microsoft's). That means the central challenge will have gone, and that's always a problem, especially for a volunteer organisations like Mozilla, where motivation is a key aspect.
Fortunately – and hardly coincidentally – the Executive Director of the Mozilla Foundation, Mark Surman, has been thinking hard about precisely that issue, and here's what he and his team have come up with:
Mozilla Drumbeat is a global community of people and projects using technology to help internet users understand, participate and take control of their online lives.
If you want to go beyond this mission statement, there's this:
Mozilla Drumbeat is a global community of Mozillians who *use* web technology in new ways to understand, participate and take control of their online lives. Drumbeat provides an opportunity for these people to share project ideas -- and helps them find contributors, funds and advice to help the most promising projects succeed. Mozilla also directly leads a number of Drumbeat projects of its own.
That's still a little vague, but this finally explains what's going on:
In a nutshell: make sure the internet is still open, participatory 100 years from now.
The internet has become our global commons: a critical public resource that more than a billion people use to learn, innovate, trade, befriend and play. We envision a century ahead where this shared resource grows even richer and more vibrant. For this to happen, we must continue to build and operate an internet that is:
Open. Built on technologies that anyone can study, use or improve without asking permission.
Participatory, fueled by the ideas and energy of 100s of millions of people.
Decentralized in both architecture and control, ensuring continued choice and diversity.
Public much like a public square, with space not just for commerce but also for vibrant social and civic life.
Of course, this vision faces many challenges. Current examples: control over our digital identities and data is centralizing; and the growing mobile internet is far less open than the one on our desktop. At a more basic level, few people take the time to consider the internet as a public resource. They simply take it for granted, like air. Drumbeat is about gathering a critical mass of people to address challenges like these.
Key, then, to the Drumbeat project is openness, specifically openness as applied to the Internet. That's fits in well with the original impulses behind Mozilla and Firefox. The former was about transforming the Netscape Communincator code into an open source browser, and the latter was about defending open standards from Microsoft's attempt to lock people into Internet Explorer 6 and its proprietary approaches. Both Mozilla and Firefox have succeeded, but the threats have now changed.
As the text above mentions, particular challenges include cloud computing and accessing the Internet from mobile phones. At issue here is control: cloud computing means that you are using other people's software to process your data, while in the mobile space, operators have typically been able to dictate every aspect of the user experience: both are at odds with the truly open Internet. To that I'd also add regulatory problems, with increased censorship around the world (including Western countries), and skewed legislation that gives media companies an unjustified and unnecessary degree of power over what you can and can't do online.
Against that background it's great that Mozilla is widening its horizons (something I encouraged them to do in my occasional chats and correspondence with Surman.) Through the creation and nurturing of Firefox (and Thunderbird), Mozilla has earned a unique place in the online ecosystem: a powerful player, and yet one that is non-commercial and independent.
As well as the responsibility that this position brings, there is also the issue of self-interest: all the good work it has done so far could so easily be nullified by developments in the world of cloud computing, mobile and under the impact of repressive legislation. The real challenge will be converting that generalised vision quoted above into action that fits well with both Mozilla's interests and its strengths.
This makes getting the first year right important. There's already a rough sketch of the kind of things that might be done:
Our overall 2010 goal for Drumbeat is simple: Introduce Drumbeat to the world. Build compelling projects and vibrant community. We'll move towards this goal by:
Objective #1: Finding and setting up projects that excite us. Mostly from people we don't know yet. (emerging projects)
Start with a set of inspiring "bootstrap" projects that show what we mean & deliver early impact.
Use those sample projects to help get great new projects into longer term project pipeline.
Objective #2: Establishing Drumbeat events as places where the future of the internet is being invented
Launch the 2010 Mozilla Drumbeat Festival to celebrate successes, sprint on projects & invent the internet's future.
Use local events to identify local leaders and projects to feed into the Drumbeat project pipeline.
Objective #3: Building and evolving a flexible online platform to support Drumbeat projects and events. (mockups)
Provide an online home and workspace for Drumbeat projects to recruit helpers and drive participation.
Drive compelling stories about Drumbeat projects across a broad range of social media and partner sites
That seems sensible, although I have to say that the initial "emerging projects" are still a little thin in substance (and excitement). One caught my attention, not least because it seems better developed as an idea:
A Movie About The Web, By The Web
A collaborative documentary exploring the power of networks. We´re getting so used to the internet that we no longer stop to think about it. Why we love it. Why we hate it. What it really is and who it is turning us into.
The project aims to show what the Network looks like offline - to show the ways in which it is creating community and transforming society. To show how the Internet is less a machine created by a select few brilliant minds, but is in fact shaped by everyone. The porn, the scamsters, the magical connectedness; it's all - us.
Just as important as the "what" is the "how":
HTML5 video and other open web technologies will be combine to create a whole new kind of media experience -- letting viewers and community members mix video, social media and data from across the web in real time. The goal will be to keep nimble and generative: as open video practices and technology evolve, so will the project. The blue sky vision would be the creation of a living documentary, a wiki-type experience that can be changed and morphed through user contributions.
I think HTML5 is really a key part of the open Web's future, and Drumbeat would do well to push it hard. It could also help Ogg become more widely used – we desperately need an open format to replace the ubiquitous Flash. Ogg is now getting to the point where it can do that; if Mozilla puts its weight behind it, Google might take the plunge and support Ogg as an alternative to Flash. That alone would lead to a perceptibly more open Web.
Beyond that, I believe that Mozilla needs to think big – not just in terms of projects that it instigates and supports, but in terms of what it is trying to achieve. For example, there are currently very few prestigious organisations that can go to national governments and make credible comments about proposed legislation that relates to the Internet. Mozilla has the clout to do this, and really needs to start engaging much more directly with the institutions making the laws around the world. After all, companies like Microsoft (and Google) now spend large sums of money to lobby the people involved: if Mozilla doesn't try to act as a counterweight to the highly partisan campaigns they conduct, then it's missing out on a huge opportunity to make a major difference – which is really what Drumbeat is all about.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- The NCAA has put Nebraska on two years' probation and agreed to a self-imposed fine of $38,000 as part of an impermissible benefits case involving textbooks and school supplies.
The NCAA announced the penalty Wednesday, sparing Nebraska a stiffer punishment for what were determined to be major infractions across multiple sports over multiple years.
Nebraska reported the problem. Last July, the school acknowledged that it had improperly distributed nearly $28,000 in textbooks and other school supplies to athletes from 2007-10.
The school proposed a fine of $28,000 payable to charity. The probation will run through Jan. 31, 2014.

Thanks for the code example. Can you tell me why you are using DDRD when you want to set the port high or low? It seems backwards to me, like you would want PORTD, right?
For example, I'd think the only time you need to set the DDR (data direction) would be during the init, and then on it's always the same. Then when you send data you'd use the PORTD command, but instead you use DDRD to send data?
I'm just ramping up to AVRs so I might be confused. Would appreciate any clarification, thanks!

Some comments:
This code in I2C_WriteBit() seems to be preparing for a stop bit. You don't need it unless the next action is a stop, so it belongs in the beginning of the I2C_Stop() routine, not in I2C_WriteBit().
if (c > 0)
(This isn't actually wrong, really, but it's an unnecessary step that makes the code a little harder to understand, IMO.)
However, there is something legitimately wrong with this code.
In both I2C_WriteBit() and I2C_ReadBit(), you must wait for clock to be high before moving on. If you read the I2C specification more closely, both the master and the slave(s) can control the clock line. When a slave controls it, it is referred to as "clock stretching" and is used to slow a master that is going too fast to keep up with. If you don't take clock stretching into account, some devices will not function well with this routine.
Therefore, in both functions,
must change to:
while ((I2C_PIN & (1 << I2C_CLK)) == 0);
for reliability's sake.
Also, I don't know why "return I2C_ReadBit();" is commented out in I2C_Write(). That is the correct thing to do when writing a byte. Maybe you were running into problems with the ACK routine because clock stretching wasn't taken into account above?
Anyway, my apologies for what might be perceived as criticisms -- I think this is a very handy routine, and should do the trick in a number of cases. Just thought that with a few small tweaks, it might be even better and much more robust.
Thanks for posting it!

Waterlitz postponed for 24 hours
9:00am Saturday 16th June 2012 in Southampton By Lorelei Reddin , Entertainments Editor
A SPECTACULAR music, acrobatics and fireworks event in Southampton has been postponed for 24 hours.
Organisers have decided not to go ahead tonight with Waterlitz, a spectacular music, dance, acrobatics and pyrotechnics street theatre show featuring a 60ft giant constructed out of shipping containers, which was due to take place in Mayflower Park.
They have decided to go ahead with the show on tomorrow evening instead.
The performance will start at 10pm, with shows starting from 8pm.
It comes after the Red Arrows flypast over Cunard's Three Queens had to be cancelled due to torrential rain on the Jubilee Weekend.

New England Patriots
Rob Gronkowski - #87 - TE
|6' 6"/ 265 lbs.
|Williamsville, NY
|Years played
|2010, 2nd round, 10th pick by Patriots
Bledsoe voted into Patriots Hall of Fame
Former NFL QB Drew Bledsoe has been voted into the Patriots Hall of Fame, the team announced on Monday.
RB Ridley, the Patriots' forgotten pick, ready to contribute
The Patriots used the 73rd overall pick to take RB Stevan Ridley, their second back selected in the draft. Ridley's name was lost in the shuffle when QB Ryan Mallett was chosen next at No. 74.
Patriots No. 9 pick scouting report: DB Malcolm Williams, TCU
The Patriots spent their final pick of the 2011 draft on another defensive back, Malcolm Williams, who admitted he was surprised to get the call.
Patriots place focus on long term
One year after drafting a class that contributed right away, Bill Belichick went with purely developmental prospects in 2011.
Patriots comfortable with pass rushers on roster
It was pretty much a consensus that a pass-rushing defensive end or outside linebacker would be high on the Patriots' priority list heading into the draft, but clearly, Bill Belichick didn't view it that way.
Patriots No. 8 pick scouting report: OLB Markell Carter, Central Arkansas
It took until their eighth pick, and the 29th pick of the sixth round before the Patriots addressed their need for an edge rusher by drafting Markell Carter out of Central Arkansas.
Patriots No. 7 pick scouting report: TE Lee Smith, Marshall
The Patriots drafted another player who will develop and likely not see the field much in 2011, Marshall TE Lee Smith.
Patriots No. 6 pick scouting report: OT Marcus Cannon, TCU
The Patriots made another value pick by drafting Marcus Cannon in the fifth round, a player who was once projected to go late in the first round.
Ask the experts: Best trade of the draft's first two days
PFW editors offer their take on the team that made the best trade in the first three rounds of the 2011 NFL draft.
Fantasy outlook: QB Ryan Mallett
One of the most surprising picks of the draft was QB Ryan Mallett heading to New England, and he won't have any fantasy value for a couple years.
Fantasy outlook: RB Stevan Ridley
Similarly to Shane Vereen, Stevan Ridley could get some touches in Bill Belichick's rotating backfield, but he will be hard-pressed to get fantasy points.
Fantasy outlook: RB Shane Vereen
California's Shane Vereen gets the first shot to be a member of Bill Belichick's split backfield in New England, which automatically diminishes his fantasy value.
A stunning pick, but Mallett makes a ton of sense for Patriots
Ryan Mallett's slide through the draft ended with the Patriots, and Bill Belichick may have completed another Draft Day steal.
Patriots make third trade; get Raiders' '12 second-round pick
The Patriots made their third trade of the 2011 NFL draft, trading their third- and fourth-round picks this year for the Raiders' 2012 second-round pick.
Patriots No. 5 pick scouting report: QB Ryan Mallett, Arkansas
The Patriots made maybe the draft's biggest surprise by taking Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett with the 74th overall pick.
The New England Patriots say they don't have any comment on published reports that Gronkowski has an infection in his broken arm that could keep him out into the season.||||||| The Boston Herald reported on Sunday that Gronkowski has an infection in the area where a metal plate was installed to repair his left forearm. Doctors will have to wait for the infection to go away to replace the plate, and Gronkowski would need 10 weeks after that to recover, the paper said. Patriots spokesman Stacey James said the team doesn't expect to comment on the report.
Gronkowski has undergone surgery on his broken left arm, a person with knowledge of the operation tells The Associated Press. Gronkowski suffered the season-ending injury Sunday when he caught a pass from Tom Brady in the first quarter and landed out of bounds on the arm for an incompletion in New England's 41-28 playoff win over the Houston Texans.||||||| Gronkowski had earlier surgery after breaking his left forearm on Nov. 18 in a 59-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He missed five games and returned for the season finale, a 28-0 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
Gronkowski needs surgery on his broken left arm, a person with knowledge of the injury told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not released details of the injury.||||||| Gronkowski was injured on the Patriots' eighth offensive play of Sunday's 41-28 victory over Houston. He previously missed five regular-season games and is done for these playoffs.
Gronkowski is active for Sunday's playoff game against the Houston Texans.||||||| The record-setting pass-catcher missed five games with a broken left forearm before returning in the regular-season finale. That means he missed New England's 42-14 victory over the Texans on Dec. 10.
Gronkowski caught a 23-yard touchdown pass on Sunday against the Dolphins, his first game after missing the previous five with a broken left forearm.||||||| "It felt good. I haven't gotten hit in a while," Gronkowski said. "I got limited reps (but) you always want to get some reps before heading into the playoffs."

Notes: Manny wants more spring action
Sox slugger also discloses that he's happy to be in Boston
BRADENTON, Fla. -- Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez wasn't scheduled to accompany the Red Sox to Wednesday's road game in Bradenton. But there he was, on the bus and in the lineup.
"He said he was bored and wanted to play," said Francona.
Ramirez singled and drew two walks in three plate appearances. He also scored a run and drove in a run. Ramirez will be back on the bus for Thursday's game in Clearwater.
Though Ramirez is still staying mum around most reporters, he had some unusually candid thoughts in Wednesday's Boston Herald. Among other things, Ramirez told the newspaper that he'll be "fine" staying in Boston over the final two years of his contract.
"I got two years left, and that's it," Ramirez said. "That's the end of the story. I'm going to move on. I'm going to play, probably somewhere else. But don't worry, I'm going to be fine here. I'm not going to leave $35 million on the table."
As for his perceived unhappiness with the city of Boston and the lack of privacy that comes with playing in such a fishbowl?
"Boston is cool. I don't have a problem outside with anybody," Ramirez said.
Drew game-ready: The Red Sox have 10 more exhibition games before opening their season. Right fielder J.D. Drew probably wishes there were about 10 less than that.
The left-handed hitter continues to rip the baseball. With a 2-for-3 performance on Wednesday, Drew is hitting .464 with a homer and seven RBIs.
"He's been tremendous," Francona said. "He's been good, and it bodes well for the season just because the way he's hitting -- that left-field wall's going to look very near him."

Lester gets work in: Left-hander Jon Lester started for Triple-A Pawtucket in a game against Rochester on Wednesday, giving up six hits and three earned runs over two innings. Lester walked one, struck out one and gave up a homer.
Dinner plans: Sox pitchers Daisuke Matsuzaka and Hideki Okajima did not take the bus back to Fort Myers after Wednesday's game. Instead, they went out to dinner with fellow Japanese pitcher Masumi Kuwata, who is trying to break into the Major Leagues at the age of 39.
Coming up: The Red Sox can rest their bullpen for Thursday's 1:05 p.m. ET contest in Clearwater against the Phillies. Starting pitchers Tim Wakefield and Jonathan Papelbon will split up the outing. Wakefield is scheduled to go five innings and Papelbon is expected to finish out the game from there.
