Councilman Says Business Owners Not In Favor Of Paid Parking
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 29 January 2014 13:46
- Written by Super User
By WILLARD KILLOUGH III
Managing Editor
KURE BEACH - Kure Beach Mayor Pro Tem Craig Bloszinsky said the idea of paid parking is off the table during a January 27th, Council meeting. Currently Kure Beach is the only beach town in New Hanover County that has free public parking. Carolina Beach and Wrightsville Beach charge for parking in on-street spaces and lots.
Bloszinsky explained, "It was a revenue proposal to help pay for beach renourishment activities using Friendly Parking." He explained, "Friendly Parking was considered to be low cost to residents, revenue sharing with our local businesses who would in fact have to sell the day passes" and, "I met with 80% of the businesses downtown. They were not in favor of pursuing that type of activity due to the potential character changing of the Town. Due to the impact to the customers. Therefore I would say that is completed. It doesn't have the level of support to go forward so Friendly Parking is off the table."
Mayor Dean Lambeth said earlier this month that paid parking would be a topic of discussion because the Town has to locate other sources of revenue to help fund future beach nourishment projects.
The Council considered the issue in 2012 and in 2011. In 2012 the Council decided not to continue exploring a proposal for a paid parking program at their April 17, 2012 meeting.
At that time Lanier Parking Solutions quoted the Town revenues of $245,320.00 with expenses of $124,000.00 leaving a net income of $121,320.00 while Councilman David Heglar said he believed the actual range would have been between $30,000 to $60,000 for the Town.

I planned out a 16 mile run that involved running through my neighborhood and down a bike path to the beach and back. Nice and simple. Due to the completely spectacular mass of women walking in pink clothing and tutus I had to take a detour. I was completely motivated by the walkers because they had to endure 3 days of bad weather in San Diego for their entire walk. To top it off, they are walking for a reason. Many of these women walk in memory of a lost loved one from Breast Cancer or in honor of a survivor. I just felt lucky to be running at all. I am healthy and lucky to be alive and thriving. I can't take it for granted.
My excitement started to wear off as I continued running into the line of walkers on every route I tried to navigate. I wound up doing several out-and-backs trying left and right to tack on extra miles here and there. Accumulating 16 miles can be quite a challenge.
I was out of Clif Bars so I had to get creative before I left the house. After reading the ingredient list on a bag of Vegan Trail Mix Cookies, I was sold. These insanely addicting cookies from Trader Joe's have nuts, seeds, raisins and brown rice syrup. Perfect for mid-run. I ate one at about mile 9. It was the perfect pick-me-up to get me home.
As usual I ran the second half faster than the first, by about 20 seconds/mile. This may have been due to the downpours I dealt with on the first half and the amount of puddles I had to leap over.
I usually do not feel completely wiped out after a run but this time I was done. Toast. My calf muscles were barking and I knew what I needed. I was dreading it but it was the right thing to do. I plopped my sweaty self into an ice-cold bath. After a few seconds of uncontrollable shaking I was okay. I can be a bit dramatic about cold temperatures, ask Ang. But I stuck it out like a soldier and surprisingly it felt good! I call it the torture tub.
I ran 16 miles through rain, crowds, puddles and big bloody blisters. Oh, for the love of running. :) No wonder people think we're crazy.
In honor of Thanksgiving, today I am grateful for:
* Wintry Blend coffee from Trader Joe's.
* Petey, the dog we are sitting. He is quite the snuggler.
* My new pair of super sexy boots.
* A long weekend in the near future.
* The chance to run with Angela tonight.
I wish everyone a lot of love and delicious food! Enjoy your time off and voice your gratitude, that's what it's all about.

When longtime Las Vegan Armand "Papa Joe" Chevalier had his syndicated sports talk radio show on the Sporting News Radio network, he became known for "Bite Me Wednesday." On this day, listeners were encouraged to call in on the 800 number and vent on somebody or something in sports, then finish their rant with that two-word interjection.
I experienced a variation of "Bite Me Wednesday" on the hump day just passed, when I found Chevalier lying in a hospital bed at Desert Springs.
It had been almost two weeks since he had suffered a stroke at home.
"You know how people say 'I've fallen and I can't get up?' Well, I fell, and I couldn't get up," Chevalier said.
He still can't. When they brought him to the infirmary, the right side of his body was paralyzed. He can move his right hand from side to side now, thanks to the physical therapy and because the paramedics arrived quickly. The doctors think he'll get better with time, and a lot more therapy.
Papa Joe, who has been off the air for more than a year, talks about going back on it. Sooner, rather than later. That would be preferred in this economy. The stroke did not affect his speech or his disdain for the New York Yankees, Papa Joe said. For that he is thankful.
The doctors tell him he might be able to go home in another two weeks. He's 62 and has been given a second chance that a lot of people who suffer major strokes do not receive. He knows this. He will eat better, he says, and lose a lot of weight. The hospital is helping in that regard.
The hospital food smells like chicken and looks like chicken, Papa Joe said. It does not taste like chicken. It tastes like Derek Jeter's shoe.
I had brought him a turkey sandwich from Capriotti's Sandwich Shop. Upon learning of the plastic bag's contents, he shook my hand with his good hand, as if I were a caller from Dubuque who had been waiting on the line for 45 minutes to agree the designated hitter and George Steinbrenner were evil incarnate.
That second chance he's getting notwithstanding, I couldn't help but think of life and its ironies, how a guy who had grown accustomed to talking to thousands -- if not tens of thousands -- at once, now finds himself lying in a hospital bed, talking to one.
Armand "Papa Joe" Chevalier is in Room 100-B at Desert Springs, if you want to talk sports. Bringing a turkey sandwich is optional.
■ Fujio Miyachi of Japan, one of the world's top trail runners, wasn't sure about traveling here to compete in Saturday's XTERRA Lake Las Vegas Trail Run until organizers told him he could set up a donation box in the registration area to benefit Japanese earthquake and tsunami victims. This is like getting 6,000 shows and movies from DirecTV at no extra charge. Much inspirational.
■ Former 51s slugger J.P. Arencibia, who hit two home runs in his major league debut last year, hit two more and a triple and drove in five runs for the Toronto Blue Jays on Opening Night this year. Guys such as Arencibia are why the 51s will say you should check out a game, even when beers cost more than $1.
■ With all respect due the national champion Notre Dame fencing team, the only sports that count in college sports are football and basketball. That said, Stanford has won 16 consecutive Directors Cups for athletic success across the board and is leading again this year. UNLV is ranked 128th, worst in the Mountain West Conference except for Colorado State. Other MWC schools and their rankings: Brigham Young, 30; New Mexico, 45; Texas Christian, 52; Utah, 70; Air Force, 82; Wyoming, 100; San Diego State, 105; and Colorado State, 160. The worst overall athletic program in the land is Virginia Military Institute of the Big South Conference. But I'm hearing the Keydets' women's rifle team had a good recruiting year.
■ After starting the season 17-3, the UNLV baseball team has gone 2-8 since. This might be what happens when Maine, Central Michigan and Valparaiso go back to where the weather is lousy.
■ One of the ESPN analysts on Saturday said South Carolina quarterback Stephen Garcia has been suspended five times but probably would be back because he gives the Gamecocks the best chance to win the Southeastern Conference Eastern Division. And here some people are worried about Reggie Theus recruiting guys with facial hair, if he becomes UNLV's basketball coach.
■ When Board of Regents chairman James Dean Leavitt began Friday's confab by saying, "This is one of the most important meetings I think this Board has ever had," how many thought the next words out of his mouth were going to be "Dave Rice" and "Reggie Theus" and not "budget crisis"?

Objectives and Goals
- The students will be able to recognize signs/symptoms of common childhood illnesses.
- The student will be able to determine the appropriate action to take when confronted with signs/symptoms of common childhood illnesses.
- The student will be able to recognize when it is appropriate to contact the parent with regard to common childhood illnesses.
Activities in this Lesson
- Sick Children Video Hooks / Set
Play the video so the students will get an idea of what the topic is for the day. Very brief one minute video.
Resources and Materials
- Sick Kids - Believe (Hospital for Sick Children ad) [ Watch Video ] [ Download Original Video ] Very brief video showing sick children.
- Scenario Diagnosis Independent Practice
This activity involves distributing individual scenarios to the students. They will then use various resources (textbook and chart you can download here) to make an educated guess as to what common illness the child might have and then determine the course of action that should be taken.
TEACHER: You will need to copy enough of the scenarios so that each student will have their own scenario. I realize there are only 6 scenarios so there will be duplication. You will also need to print out the chart and photocopy so that there are enough to go around. You might want to make enough copies for each student to have a chart for reference, or simply make enough so that each group of 3 or 4 students can share a chart for reference. Your choice.
- Pair Share Other
Instruct the students to select a partner who had a different scenario than they did. Example: A student with scenario 6 partners with a student with scenario 3.
Instruct the students to, one at a time, share their scenario and their responses to the scenario.
As the students are sharing, monitor the responses and correct as necessary according to the key.
- Assessment Types:
- Observations,
The assessment for this activity is your observations made during the Pair Share activity above.
FIRST PART: If the students have the correct 'diagnosis' for their scenario, then they would receive a passing score for the activity. If their 'diagnosis' is incorrect, they would receive a failing score for the activity.
SECOND PART: If the students had the correct 'response' to the situation, then they would receive a 2nd passing score for the activity. If their 'response' was incorrect, then they would receive a failing score for that part of the activity.

Remember Me
I still have to shake my head at our all-consuming desire to live vicariously through celebrities.
Most recently, we have Arnold Schwarzenegger who has confessed to an affair with the hired help. Not only did he cheat on his wife, a Kennedy no less, he fathered a child with the other woman and has been spending big bucks on not only the child but also the momma.My first question is, "Why do we care?!" What about us draws us like moths to a flame to these scandals and sometimes human tragedies? Is it so we know someone else is worse off than us and we can feel better about ourselves? Sad.I used to tell people I watched Jerry Springer so I knew how normal I was. In truth, I was held captive by the raw emotions and sometimes just plain stupidity displayed on the screen for the whole world to see. I would often wonder what type of person was willing to go on such a show and air their dirty laundry in such a public fashion. If half the things happened to me that were portrayed on that show, I would be hiding in a cave somewhere and hopefully it would take everyone as long to find me as it did to find bin Laden.I know a lot of it was bull and they were paid to act crazy and try to beat each other up. It's kind of like — SPOILER ALERT! — professional wrestling. But what is even sadder is that truth is stranger than fiction. Let's take a peak at our favorite warlock, Charlie Sheen. He's crazier than a bedbug and people are just eating it up. The man is seriously disturbed and not just a little delusional and people are lining up around the block hoping to see the final meltdown.I have to confess, I was watching to see what he would come up with next. Tiger's blood? Really? Perhaps he should take a little blood test so they can tell what all he's on so they know how to treat him.Maybe he should ride that "Torpedo of Truth" straight to rehab — do not pass go; do not collect $200.They should take that Adonis DNA and make sure it's not allowed to duplicate any more.And while he's "tired of pretending he's not a total bitchin' rock star from Mars," maybe he could stay sober long enough to stop scaring his children and everyone else around him — excluding the goddesses, of course.As you can see, I don't have much patience for those who have the world at their fingertips and can't take the pressure. They use their power for evil instead of good and just expect the rest of us to play along and even keep stoking their coffers. "I'm a celebrity, I couldn't help it. Having everything I ever wanted and more was just too much." What a load of _____.The Arnold says he's putting his film career on hold now. Guide me to the light if I'm wrong but what film career?He will more than likely be a little busy getting divorced. I can also see this ending up a little like the Tiger Woods crash and burn. Twenty women will come crawling out of the woodwork to claim he slept with them, too, and there are a dozen little terminators running around.And a voice says, "I'll be back."

Except possibly for Thomas, no offensive players in the first day of the draft.DL,DL, Safety, CB, LB.Any players needed on offense should come from FA, if possible. However, if we are able to get any top knotch players on defense from FA for the positions I have shown, I would then CONSIDER someone on offense. But not in the first 3 picks. We have almost zero depth on defense.

Ding et al. chose to realize a plasmonic nanolens structure first analyzed by Li et al. (Physical Review Letters (2003)). Those authors described how a chain of three self-similar gold nanoparticles can give rise to field enhancements of up to a thousand-fold, depending on the wavelength of light used and the precise arrangement of the nanoparticles. The greatest field enhancements are obtained when the smallest particle is on the order of 10 nm in diameter with particle-to-particle spacings as small as 9 nm. These dimensions are difficult to obtain reliably with lithographic methods, making an alternative approach to fabrication attractive.
Once they had produced origami with the plasmonic devices, the authors conducted preliminary measurements of their optical response, observing a 5 nm shift in the location of the plasmon-band peak in the ultraviolet-visible absorbance spectrum, showing some level of plasmonic interaction. One question that always arises in the context of trying to model and measure the plasmonic response of a nanostructure is: how sensitive is the response to the precise details of particle size, shape and spacing? This is particularly important given the difficulty of controlling the morphology of such small objects. Another key question is: how will the completed nanoparticle structures be integrated into larger-scale devices? Fortunately, this is an active area of research with recent papers by Kershner et al. and Hung et al. (Nature Nanotechnology (2009)) focusing on the use of lithographically-patterned, chemically-functionalized surfaces to control the placement and orientation of origami. Finally, and perhaps most critical, as far as applications directed towards integration into silicon electronics, is the question of what are the fundamental limits in terms of the overall yields that can be achieved?

100,000 Smiles as appeal target reached (From Gazette)

Lexden Springs School's joy as money is raised for new playground
1:12pm Thursday 20th March 2014 in News By Wendy Brading
WE'VE done it! An appeal to raise £100,000 to build a new play area for disabled children has hit its target.
Donations and grants have flooded in for the 100,000 Smiles appeal, which has been supported by the Gazette.
Now the children at Lexden Springs special school, in Colchester, are looking forward to getting their own purpose- built play area.
Money has been raised through sponsored events, grants and donations – including two anonymous contributions totalling £32,000.
Charlotte Foxley, chairwoman of the Lexden Springs Appeal Fund, said: "We are excited to announce we have reached our target of £100,000 in less than a year.
"We were able to achieve our target thanks to a final donation of £22,000 from an anonymous private donor.
"We were so grateful to the individual for this donation and also to everyone in the community who contributed – children, friends and families associated with the school. We'd also like to thank those big-hearted members of the public who had seen our story in the Gazette and were moved to send us donations.
"We would also like send a huge thank you to the Gazette for supporting us in our campaign.
"Without the paper's involvement and interest in our appeal, we wouldn't have been able to reach out into the community. The articles have touched people who didn't knowwe existed before.
"We are glad they now know about our school and our wonderful children."
The school currently has only limited play equipment.
The 100,000 Smiles appeal was launched to pay for a new playground, which will be created on a small field at the school, in Halstead Road.
It will be fitted with specialised equipment which can be used by children with a range of disabilities, including those in wheelchairs.

There are some picks in this sector that have excellent valuations and strong earnings growth.
- Gold stocks to buy amid the Ukraine crisis
These three hot movers could rise by double digits in the coming months.
- RadioShack weighs rescue deal options
The electronics retailer is burning through cash, could run out by the end of '15.
The networking giant is the real deal, but its valuation is a moving target. Don't make a move just yet.
So now we know where all of that display ad money went to: Facebook.
With a 28% share, Facebook has put quite a distance between itself and Yahoo (YHOO), Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOG) in display advertising. Yahoo is second, with an 11% share, and the others are left in the low-single-digit dust, which tells you how strong the Facebook story is. (Microsoft owns and publishes Top Stocks, and MSN Money site.)
Plus, the company has doubled its revenue in the past year. And the revenue is in the billions of dollars.
Maybe a mediocre quarter is good news for the oil giant.
President Barack Obama and other Democrats argue that the government should strip away decades-old subsidies for the oil industry in favor of promoting greener alternatives such as solar energy. Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson argues that the industry needs these tax breaks and claims the industry earns "windfall profits" are wrong. Moreover, Tillerson says Wall Street traders are running up oil prices beyond the normal variations of supply and demand. Now he has proof to back up his case.
Potash Corp. is downgraded to 'neutral' at Goldman.
Tuesday's noteworthy upgrades include:
- CF Industries (CF) upgraded to Conviction Buy from Neutral at Goldman
- Aon Corp. (AON) upgraded to Neutral from Underperform at Credit Suisse, and to Neutral from Underperform at Credit Suisse
- Viacom (VIA.B) upgraded to Buy from Neutral at Miller Tabak
- Nike (NKE) upgraded to Buy from Hold at Argus
- Under Armour (UA) upgraded to Buy from Hold at Needham
These funds will give you a stake in other great tech names as well.
How can you tell that exchange-traded funds, despite their rise in popularity, have a long way to go to catch mutual funds? Check out the number of ETFs with Microsoft (MSFT) as a top 10 holding compared with mutual funds. According to Morningstar, 66 ETFs count the tech giant among their top holdings, compared with 2,416 mutual funds. Clearly, a lot of portfolio managers feel Microsoft is a necessary component of any portfolio.
If you're thinking about owning Microsoft stock, why not contemplate an ETF instead. You'll get a stake in Microsoft as well as some other great tech companies. (Microsoft owns and publishes Top Stocks, and MSN Money site.)
With low valuations and no debt, this drug maker earn top scores in a Ben Graham value screen.
We select stocks based on a variety of screens that are each based on the investment strategy of long-standing "legendary" investors.
Forest Laboratories (FRX) scores a 100% rating in our Value Investor screen that is based on Benjamin Graham. The company develops ethical drug products; its principal products include Lexapro, Namenda, Bystolic, Savella and Teflaro.
Can the social-media giant generate the kind of outsized growth that investors expect?
At last, the IPO the investment world has been awaiting with varying degrees of impatience appears likely to make its debut. And if those who have had an early peek at Facebook's pending IPO filing are right, the deal could value the social networking giant at $100 billion -- more than four times the valuation that Google (GOOG) commanded when it went public not quite a decade ago.
But while there will be a lot of buzz surrounding Facebook as the road show gets under way and eager investment bankers talk up the company's unparalleled ability to bring people together -- have dinner, organize a high school reunion, plan a revolution in the Middle East -- it's important not to forget that what is more important than where Facebook has been is where it is going next.
Earnings surprises translate into price appreciation.
By Brian Bolan
Heartland Payment Systems (HPY) sees earnings surprises translate into price appreciation. With estimates moving higher, this stock is a Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy).
Heartland Payment Systems, Inc. provides bankcard payment processing services. It facilitates the exchange of information and funds between merchants and cardholder's financial institutions and offers electronic payment processing services to merchants.
Despite a tough economy, the managed-care industry leader continues to gain members and boost profits.
Even so, some investment pros see the stock's slippage as an opportunity to buy more shares. Some bulls see the stock, which had climbed to an all-time high of $63 in 2005, hitting $65 or more in 2012.
Social media will steal the spotlight this weekend.
The Super Bowl is the mecca of all holidays for me. OK, so it's not an actual holiday, but you couldn't drag me out of my house kicking and screaming if the Super Bowl is on TV.
It's also the mecca of all days for networking company NBC, owned by Comcast (CMCSA), because it will be raking in an average of $3.5 million per 30 seconds for the rights to advertise during the Super Bowl. Advertising prices have risen 50% in just the past 10 years, and ads are expected to generate in the neighborhood of $250 million just from this one game.
U.S. clearance is a major milestone, but Bydureon faces stiff competition from its fast-selling rival.
Shares of Amylin Pharmaceuticals (AMLN) climbed Monday after the biotech company won U.S. approval of its Bydureon diabetes drug.
Amylin shares rose over 17% to close at $14.26. The company's development partner, Alkermes (ALKS), didn't fare as well, ending the day slightly down.
Global fundamentals suggest that this will not be a repeat of 2011's flame-out.
A year ago, we took off like a bat out of hell, and then we ran smack into what can only be called a bear market. We had the industrials crater, the banks give it up and the oils get crushed because of European woes, the latter being a total oddity, because oil never came in. The techs were awful, led by a faltering semiconductor group with a contagion that spread everywhere except for Apple (AAPL).
Once again, we have taken off with great gusto, the best rally since 1997, and it has been across the board, with the financials and techs leading the way and the industrials, such as Caterpillar (CAT) and Honeywell (HON), not that far behind.
A substantial number of subscribers are shifting from hybrid service to streaming only.
The earnings highlighted a couple of things -- Netflix is back on growth track and DVD subscribers continue to decline substantially. A little confusing? The point is that customers are not leaving Netflix as much as before and a substantial decline is coming from subscribers dropping hybrid service and moving to streaming only.
The world's leading aluminum producer is focusing on building high-quality engineered products that boost margins.
Consequently, the market has been quite harsh on the company's stock, pushing it down into single digits.
These master limited partnerships offer an average yield of 5.6%.
In my view, master limited partnerships (MLPs) are probably the best hedge against rising energy prices.
Three favorites are Penn Virginia Resource Partners (PVR), ONEOK Partners (OKS), and Plains All American Pipeline (PAA).
BlackRock says fast-growing economies could decouple as the developed world struggles, but a global recession is still possible.
Do you feel lucky this year?
If so, you might want to bet on the optimistic side of the theoretical coin toss that the strategy team at BlackRock Investment Institute proposed in its investment outlook analysis, The Year of Living Divergently.

Sixteen families were displaced Saturday after their apartment complex in St. Petersburg flooded during the morning rain storm.
Tenants at the single-building Lakeview Apartment complex described the chaotic scene as water began pouring in through the roof, flooding the upper floor, then doing the same to many of the lower level units.
"As hard as it was raining outside, that's how as hard as it was raining inside my apartment," said Tonya Robinson, who lives in one of the upper apartments.
"All of a sudden it just started pouring, pouring through the light socket, pouring through the light fixture in the bathroom, the light fixture in the bathroom fell," said Jayson James, who lives with his mother in a unit on the second floor. "It was very scary. Very, very scary."
One of the owners, Aurelijus Baltusis, said they recently purchased the building and closed just two days ago. They knew the roof had been an ongoing problem and already had a contractor begin working on it.
Baltusis said it's hard to say without getting onto the roof if the recent work made the leak temporarily worse, but guessed that might be what's at fault.
"Seriously, it's just probably the worst timing," he said, adding he and his partner will help the tenants as much as possible. "We're just going to evaluate each apartment individually. Whatever is damaged is damaged, so we're just going to go one unit at a time."
Baltusis said roughly 40 people were forced out of the building. Tenants told Fox 13 News St. Pete city leaders came out to the scene and told residents they'd be housed temporarily in a nearby hotel.
Those affected said they'll now focus on how to recover.
"I don't know which way to go right in the present moment but with the grace of God, I'm going to work it out," said tenant Willie Williams.
The owners said they're hoping to re-open the apartments after they've completely dried out and are deemed safe by the city.

Following the announcement last week of the Mac App Store, an upcoming centralised location for downloading new Mac programs, we've had a bit of time to analyze what this means for apps as well as software going forward, plus the pros and cons for developers.
The App Store for iOS [iPod, iPhone, iPad] has been a overwhelming success for Apple, with more than 7 billion downloads in little more than two years. The App Store is successful because it makes it easy to discover apps, easy to update apps and easy to get apps on all your iOS devices. This is what Apple will be bringing to the new OS Lion Mac App Store.
So why are Apple bringing Apps to the Mac now? Well the iPod and iPhone is a mass market device, and dominate a large segment of their markets. Mac's segment isn't so impressive, with around 3.6% of the world market share according to estimates. So in truth, the Mac has yet to reach its full potential. Can an Mac Apps store help it gain in market share? In launching the store within iTunes, Apple can tease their iOS users with thousands of Mac apps.
Shop window for developers
This shop window will also entice developers, with Apple already encouraging developers to prepare to submit applications in November. There are numerous excellent software applications for Mac that are literally unknown and the Mac App store could work wonders for many a developer.
Developers will receive the same 70/30 split with Apple for their commercial apps, something that may either strike application developers as a good move [Espresso?] or a bad move [Adobe?], depending on their market segment and budgets.
Initially the Mac App store will just be a distribution option. You will still be able to install non Apple-approved software on the Mac.
But will this always stay the case or will the process change? Will Apple eventually lock down the Mac, so the only software allowed to run on the system is Apple approved? Then what? Will other manufacturers such as Dell, HP etc. follow suit? Will App stores pop up across the web?
Or maybe perhaps we'll all realise that the web is 'the' App Store, and revert back to web apps, undermining the whole concept? Apple doesn't allow plug-ins in the App store. This would channel out mainstream applications such as Firefox and for a vast amount of Mac users, the Adobe Suite. So what would happen to these applications in the long term and how will Apple deal with updates and application backup?
So, Yeah Or Neah?
On the surface at least, it seems a Mac App Store would be good for developers, consumers and, of course, Apple itself. But a negative aspect to it would be that it creates yet another wall that goes against the grain of the open web. It could also spark new conflicts between Apple and the developers with their strict rules and lengthy processes for Apps.
We'll have to wait and see how this one pans out. Is it all a bit too '1984'? We're still over two months away from the opening of the store. Many additional details will be heard between now and then, hopefully some clarity will come from this.

Ipswich High School announced yesterday that Doug Woodworth will be taking over for Dot Stanley as the school's head girls basketball coach for the remainder of the season.
Stanley, an Ipswich Hall of Fame member, coached the Tigers for a single game this season — a 38-33 victory over Amesbury.
"The Ipswich schools and the Ipswich community have a great deal of respect for Dot's contributions to Ipswich basketball as both a former player and coach," Director of Athletics Tom Gallagher said in Monday's press release. "At this time however, Dot has decided to pursue a new endeavor. We wish Dot the best of luck."
Stanley, who graduated from Ipswich in 1981 was team MVP in both basketball and softball and earned CAL All-League honors, while her basketball team won a state championship.
Woodworth, who coached the Tigers' win over Georgetown on Friday, led the Ipswich boys basketball team for 14 seasons, including a Division 4 state title run in 2005. Woodworth retired from coaching the boys in 2008 and was the winningest boys' coach in IHS hoop history (182-119).
This past spring, Woodworth stepped down from his position as softball coach after 28 years at the helm.

Say "launder" and "quilt" in the same sentence, and many quilters will run away. But, we all know that quilts get dirty and need to be cleaned at some point during their existence.
The question is how to clean them. And, as usual, my answer is – it kind of depends.
True vintage quilts are in a category of their own, special care should be taken with them, and they are excluded from this conversation. But for other quilts, fear not, there is a way to launder them that is safe and will assure they will last for many years.
The first consideration is the soap or detergent you use.
When I first began quilting, I thought that Woolite was the best thing to use; turns out it is about the worst thing. Over time, Woolite will damage the fibers in your cotton quilts, and you will be disappointed as they fall apart.
If you talk to batting manufacturers, they say that you can use regular detergent, like Tide, to launder quilts – at least the batting in the quilt. Since that is the detergent I use for my clothes, many of my quilts are washed in Tide.
And, although they certainly don't get washed every week, I think the sun has caused more damage than the Tide.
Another option is Orvis – the soap for horses. Many quilters use this exclusively for their quilts. Just a dab will go a long way to cleaning a quilt.
And yet another cleaner is a solution called Soak. The great thing about Soak is that you don't need to rinse the quilt. By simply soaking the quilt and then draining the water, the dirt goes away.
Then there is the question of drying.

Happy Quilting!

Unless you've got the deep pockets to take taxis everywhere or the ample patience necessary for a bus tour, sightseeing in Japan means a lot of walking. As exciting and fascinating as the country can be, hour after hour on your feet is enough to leave anyone looking for a place to sit down and have a drink, which is part of the reasons why you can always find a Starbucks near Japan's major travel destinations.
Still, vacation only lasts so long, and many tourists don't want to waste their time in a new city sitting in a boring old coffee house that looks just like the one in their hometown. Thankfully, the world's most popular coffee house has gone all out with the design of these five Japanese Starbucks locations, making them sightseeing attractions in and of themselves.

Men's golf takes fourth at the A-Sun Championship
April 18, 2007
BRUNSWICK, Ga. -
Final Results
The final round of the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship marked the end of a great chapter in the history of the JU men's golf team as the trio of Russell Knox, Duncan Stewart and Jamie Kennedy played their final round together as teammates.
Knox went out on top, firing a four-under par 67 to finish in seventh place at nine-over par.
The Dolphins carded a 287 total in the final round to jump one spot to fourth place, finishing with a total of 902, 50-over par. East Tennessee State, ranked 17th in the country, won the title at 16-over par, 868, with Seamus Power winning the individual title at three-under par.
"The golf course played tough all week, but I am very proud of how the guys played today," said JU head coach Jim Taketa. "I know that the seniors are disappointed, but they have accomplished a lot in their careers at JU. It's going to be very hard to replace those three guys next year."
Knox's got his final round going with a hot start, getting birdies at the third, seventh and nine holes to make the turn at three-under par. Back-to-back birdies on No. 11 and 12 moved him to five-under par before a bogey on the 13th sent him back to four-under.
He finished his round with five straight pars to tie the low round of the tournament.
Matt Kleinrock carded a one-over par 72 to finish in a tie for 12th at 13-over par. Kleinrock had a pretty steady day, with just two bogeys on No. 3 and 11 offset by a birdie on No. 12.
Kennedy and Joshua Kinsey each posted a three-over par 74 to count towards the team score. Kennedy opened the round with bogeys at the second and third holes, but recovered with a birdie at the fourth.
Another bogey-birdie foray came on the sixth and seventh holes as he made the turn at one-over par.
A double bogey on the 10th hole was topped by a bogey on the 14th to fall to four-over par for his round. A birdie-bogey-birdie finish capped his collegiate career in exciting fashion.
Kinsey opened with four bogeys and one birdie to make the turn at three-over par. He was able to get his round back on track with a birdie at the 11th, but gave that shot away with a bogey on the 17th. He ended his inaugural foray in the A-Sun Championship with a par to shoot 74.
Stewart, who is ranked in the top 50 nationally, got off to a solid start with a birdie at the second. But a bogey on the seventh was topped by a double bogey at the ninth as he made the turn at two-over par.
The back nine began with a bogey at the 10th, but turned around quickly with a birdie at the 11th. A bogey at the 14th was compounded by a double bogey at the 17th, but he was able to battle through it all for a birdie on the 18th to finish with a four-over par 75 and alone in 11th place.
The Dolphins finish their 2006-07 campaign with four tournament titles, the most by a JU in the past 15 years.

Publisher's Description
The story of the origin of all things: Does the scientific evidence support special creation or atheistic evolution?
Authoritative and thoroughly documented, Scientific Creationism is easily understood by readers with non-scientific backgrounds.
Teachers, students, pastors, and other witnessing Christians can now be equipped with the convincing evidence for special creation. Updated and expanded, Scientific Creationism is a book that has changed the lives of people for Christ - people who have been blinded by the current origin-myth, evolution.
"All ministers of the gospel, teachers and professors of our Christian schools on the primary and secondary level, should read this book. A copy should be placed in every church and school library, and used as a textbook in our Christian high schools and colleges."
-Rev. C. Van Schouwen
Author Bio
Dr. Henry Morris, with his copious writings about the creation/evolution debate, has earned the title, "The Father of Modern Creationism." He is a respected scientist and has written a number of textbooks in his own field. He is the founder and new president emeritus of the Institute for Creation Research in California.

Michael williams1 Stars Out Of 5April 14, 2007Michael williamsThis book has so many errors, many of which have never been corrected in subsequent reprints, even when Morris himself realized the errors. This book is a prime example of creationists' inability to accept when their pet ideas have been thoroughly debunked.
Floyd5 Stars Out Of 5April 25, 2002FloydThough I had a hard time understanding some of this book, I do agree with the reader below that "this is probably the best single volume on the creation-evolution debate." Henry Morris and John Morris have a Trilogy out called "Modern Creation Trilogy" which goes more indepth about a wider range of topics. Though some of the stuff might be a review when reading it, I would still suggest reading them. Great books, the best books I've ever come across on the topic, and books that no evolutionist wants to have on the market. Morris is very Christ Honoring, as it should be.
Jim Sheets5 Stars Out Of 5May 17, 2001Jim SheetsThis is the best work available, for gaining an understanding of how scientific facts fit into the creation model. Henry Morris brings his years of academic study and Bible knowledge together, in a way that can be understood by the laymen.

Disclaimer: Please, Please dont kill me. This is only a comparison between two players, both considered the best of their generation.
Pace and Kalil have many things in common. They both play LT, both were(and are) considered the best tackles of their respective generation. They even both wore the same number in college, #75! They do have however, their differences, Pace has gone on to be a future Hall of Famer, and was a vital part of the Greatest Show on Turf, giving Warner the time to throw does beautiful rainbows to Bruce. Matt Kali has so far done nothing.
Pass Blocking
I am comparing both of them purely on their college tape. For Pace, I looked at a short clip of Ohio vs Penn, and for Kalil, USC vs California.
Pace was an amazing pass blocker, and could stonewall an oncoming defender. His footwork was to me, somewhat minimal, where instead he uses pure power, his forte, to stop a defender. This technique however as its problems, where in the highlights he allows one play where the pass rusher ripped pass him. But when the situation requires him to, he will display excellent footwork.
Matt Kalil is the best pass blocker I have ever seen. His footwork is exceptional, and he can totally stop a defender from having a free route to the QB. In the highlights you can see Matt Barkly having total confidence in Kalil, as he pushed a defender down right in front of Barkly. There was one play where Kalil was using his SHOULDER to stop a defender, while being open to another linebacker coming around the edge. Another play one USC player missed his block and Kalil had to choose between who to block. At first I thought he made a mistake by blocking the Pass Rusher who coming around then the one coming directly on to the QB. But the USC blocker who missed the first time, came back to push the defender away. Both these plays shows that Kalil has a great awareness of whats happening around him. During the highlights, he had to face a lot of wide rushers, and he showcases his amazing footwork.
To me, the decision of who the better pass blocker is a tough one, but another point in Kalils favour is that its seems to me that pass rushers now are better then those in Paces day. Pace is still a great pass blocker, but Kalil has the edge.
Run Blocking
This is where Orlando Pace really shines. He loves to floor defenders to the ground, coining the term 'Pancake'. He had the amazing power to just lift a defender of his feet and smash him to the ground. He could open up holes a mile wide, by blocking two or maybe even three guys! There's absolutely nothing for anyone to complain about Pace's run blocking, as Marshall Faulks numbers show.
Kalil is a strange case. He has the frame to be a brilliant run blocker, but ends up being over powered by defenders. You can see him get beat comprehensively by the defender during run plays, where he either gets bull rushed or completely miffs a block. He can pull reasonably well, but should do much better considering his size. The good thing is that he accepts his problems, and may be able to overcome it by working with the staff.
Pace is the clear winner by a couple of miles, in terms of running blocking, while Kalil is pretty poor, but has the frame and potential to become better.
Overall, Orlando Pace was the better prospect coming out school, considering that running the ball was more important then( but still excelled in a mainly passing offense) and that he was a more well- rounded prospect then Kalil. Kalil's amazing pass blocking will help him do well in his career, but will he ever be great like Orlando? Maybe, maybe not. If he improved his run-blocking, I am sure that he has a chance, but will at the very least be a very well respected tackle around the league. Kalil will certainly help the Rams protect their 50 million dollar investment, Sam Bradford, for years to come.

Unconventional Gas Riles and Refigures the World Energy Market: The Pacific and Asia (Part II)
In Part 1 of this series, the trends in U.S. unconventional gas output in were explored. The impacts on gas markets — $3–5/MMBtu — were noted. If unconventional gas puts pressure on LNG and Gazprom, can this supply and supplier turn to Asia as their new market? Maybe, and just for a while. (1)
1.1.1 Australia's Experience with Coal Seam Gas
CSG accounts for almost 15% of Australia's growing gas production, and as much as 30% of probable reserves. LNG plants based on CSG are slated to commence production in 2014, with production of 794 Bcf/y (~16.7 mtpa). Australia's CSG is believed to occur roughly above shale gas basins, raising the possibility of further unconventional production. Figure 1 shows the CSG, conventional gas fields and transmission infrastructure in Australia's Queensland State.
As was the case in the U.S., Australia's development of its CSG occurred proximate to gas transmission infrastructure. The current CSG fields in Australia are just east of the Surat Basin gas fields, providing ready access to transmission and population centers.
Figure 1: Coal Seam Gas Resources and Infrastructure in Queensland, Australia
A peculiarity of unconventional gas, one that is shared with unconventional oil sources (shale oil, tar sands), is a long reserve lifetime. The unconventionals, at least using current technology, resemble mining or industrial operations more than they do traditional oilfield operations. This means moving a lot of material – water, overburden – and repeating the process continuously so as to maintain a constant rate of output. (1) [Read more →]

Who we are & what we do
We are the youth and student section of the Democratic Socialists of America, and a national organization of about fifteen campus chapters and several hundred activists. We organize on college and high school campuses to fight for the immediate needs of workers and students, while building our capacity to fight for more radical and structural changes in the long term. Ultimately, we are part of the international struggle to build a better world, and we call the better society we are fighting for democratic socialism.
We are proud of our unique status as one of the few national, multi-issue left-wing student organizations in the United States. Twice a year we meet at our winter outreach conference and summer leadership retreat to share our experiences and build a national community. We encourage young socialists to explore social and political issues on our blog, The Activist.

The Red Letter: Spring 2014
We're excited to share the spring issue of our newsletter, the Red Letter. It features a photo essay from our winter conference as well as chapter reports, an excellent introduction to the work of bell hooks by YDS working-class caucus chair Liz Wright, and David Roddy's report on the winter conference, Red Blizzard in the Big Apple. We're mailing out copies this weekend to YDS members and chapter leaders, but you can also view and download a pdf version here.
If you'd like to print out some copies in black and white you can download a high quality black and white version here.
Red Blizzard in the Big Apple
YDS Cochairs Alex and Matt with Javi and Zac, representatives from our sister socialist party in Mexico
Throughout history, young people have kindled the flames of social movements. In the US, students initiated successful fights against Jim Crow and the Vietnam War, and the more recent struggles against neoliberal austerity in Greece, Quebec, and on Wall Street have had an undeniably youthful energy. In 2014, the leftward trajectory of youth in the United States is visible in the increasing membership and participation of students in the Young Democratic Socialists.
This President's Day weekend, over 100 young activists from across the country braved a blizzard and bitter cold to converge on New York City for the annual YDS winter conference, "Beyond Capitalism: Activism and Ideas for the Next Left". The conference included plenaries, presentations, and workshops to strengthen both the analytical and strategic acumen of YDS members, while also providing a welcoming environment to build a national community for young socialist activists.
Best pictures from our winter conference
Group break out during the transformative organizing workshop.
We'll have a full report from the YDS winter conference up soon (now available here). We had over 100 young activists attend the two day conference, and we started it all of with a big crowd of 140+ YDSers and New York City community members who came on a Friday night to listen to our plenary on "New Directions in Feminism". Until we get the full report ready, we wanted to share some of the best pictures from the conference.
All of the photos were taken by two super talented YDSers - Alexis Wright-Whitley and Marcel Gretzschel. You can check out Alexis's professional work here.
