Relatives of war dead wanted for Rottingdean time capsule tribute
5:40am Monday 10th March 2014 in News By Ben James
Relatives of fallen soldiers from the First World War are being sought to contribute to a time capsule to commemorate its 100th anniversary.
Rottingdean's Royal British Legion will place the capsule at the side of the war memorial in the village green on August 3 – the date Britain entered the war.
It will be buried using soil from a number of the conflict's major battlefields before being left for another 100 years – to be opened again in 2114.
Ian Smith, secretary of the Rottingdean branch, said: "This is a fantastic opportunity – these anniversaries don't come around often. The impact of the war was felt across the country including here in Rottingdean, "This is a great way for us to remember those who fought and also ensure future generations will have an understanding and appreciation of the Great War."
In particular relatives of the 38 named on the village's memorial are wanted to contribute to the project.
However nearby schools, youth groups, Cubs, Scouts, Brownies, Rainbows and more have all been contacted.
Mr Smith added: "We want to get as many young people as possible involved, although we may have to limit the number of items at a later date. This is a project for the whole of Rottingdean."
He added that the brief for youngsters had deliberately been left vague in an attempt to get a varied response.
Among the suggested submissions include a short story, poem, photograph or small memento.
All items will be vacuum packed and preserved as best as possible prior to their burial.
Submissions must be handed in at the Queen Victoria pub, High Street, by July 11.
The capsule is to be buried at the corner of the war memorial.
It will be buried as part of a special remembrance parade in the village on August 3. People will gather at the White Horse Hotel, in Marine Drive, at 11.30am before making their way to the memorial.
There will then be a short service before the capsule is buried.
Mr Smith added: "It is important for us as a village to remember those who served and lost their lives. The parade and the time capsule is a great way of doing just this and I hope as many people as possible get involved."

A consortium of independent liberal art colleges
Sign in: Students | Faculty/Staff
Search this site
ACM has received a generous $2 million grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to support a third phase of the Faculty Career Enhancement (FaCE) Program, one of the consortium's most successful grant-funded faculty development initiatives.
Throughout the program, FaCE has funded faculty-initiated projects – most of them collaborative – focused on teaching, learning, and scholarly research. In the first two phases, the program supported more than 150 faculty projects with over 1,700 participants. About one-third of the projects were workshops and conferences bringing together faculty and administrators from across the ACM.
The Mellon Foundation awarded initial funding for FaCE in 2004, followed by renewals in 2007 and 2013. The current third phase of the project, now in its planning stage, is scheduled to cover six years and to complete its activities in 2020.
Liberal arts colleges and their faculty face new and rapidly changing challenges, but also new opportunities.
Student bodies are more diverse and students at ACM colleges arrive with new needs, interests, and skills, which pose challenges for teaching. At the same time, colleges are pressed by persistent cost pressures to make difficult economic choices that often have curricular implications.
Meanwhile, new technologies and understandings are dramatically changing the possibilities for teaching and research. In blended learning classrooms, for example, faculty can use technology to move activities that students can do on their own — such as acquiring information — out of the classroom. That shift can provide more time in the classroom for activities involving close student-faculty interaction and building a community of learners, which are hallmarks of the liberal arts college education.
The introduction of digital technologies in the humanities is generating new opportunities for research and dissemination by faculty and their students. New developments in cognitive science are deepening our understanding of how students learn and are yielding insights that can enhance teaching and course design.
FaCE 3 aims to foster a culture of innovation through collaboration on ACM campuses, through which faculty can explore and document new ways of teaching that can improve student learning.
In two funding cycles each year, FaCE will award grants on a competitive basis to ACM faculty to initiate and carry out projects to develop new expertise, models, and tools for teaching and research at liberal arts colleges.
Robust support for this faculty work is an integral part of the program, and will include:
Planning for FaCE 3, including an opening conference, will continue throughout the spring and summer, with a Call for Proposals for the first funding cycle expected during the 2014-15 academic year.
Key personnel from all of the ACM colleges, including the chief academic officer and a faculty development liaison on each campus, will be closely involved with FaCE communications and activities.

Chinese Gender Predictor
Though not a scientific method of gender prediction, the Chinese gender predictor, which is based on an ancient Chinese birth chart, is by far the most accurate baby gender prediction method and is followed by people all over the world. Baby sex prediction using this Chinese baby gender predictor is based on conception date of the mother and her age during pregnancy.
Actual calculations are based on Chinese calendar and lunar dates. We've simplified it for your convenience so that you can enter English dates and the gender predictor will convert your age and conception date to Chinese year format before finally displaying the result as specified by the chart.
* Enter the exact month and year, and approximate day of conception.
Chinese Baby Gender Predictor • Girl or Boy Prediction
One of the most intriguing question after the greatest news of pregnancy is - is it a boy or a girl?. More than the importance of knowing accurate baby gender, its the fun, joy and thrill of baby gender prediction that makes the Chinese gender predictor a popular pregnancy tool used by expectant mothers world over.
For centuries, the Chinese birth chart has been considered a reliable tool for accurate sex prediction. The online version of the birth chart is the Chinese baby gender predictor, which is a more simplified and user friendly version of the authentic chinese gender predictor. Boy or Girl prediction is simple and fun with this gender predictor.
Accuracy of Chinese Baby Gender Prediction
Like mentioned above, the Chinese chart is not a scientific method. However, studies and surveys show that the authentic Chinese gender predictor is accurate 95% of the time. This gender prediction tool is trusted by millions of people around the world.
Disclaimer: Although the Chinese gender prediction chart shows a high level of accuracy, it is not a scientifically proven method to predict baby gender.

Today's farmers are becoming more efficient every day. With the advent of multiple technologies farmers are able increase their productivity on the farm, but that often times leaves less time to visit with other farmers in the area. A new website and mobile application is designed to connect farmers from the field, no matter their location. cropNAtion is designed to work as a social networking site where farmers can create profiles, share information and access market and weather conditions. Jim Spradlin, GROWMARK vice president of agronomy says they saw the need for farmers and ranchers to have a virtual coffee shop where users could not only share information but cultivate relationships.
The website is now active for those interested in North American agriculture. The iPhone and Android mobile apps will be available late summer.

Gateless Gate
On April 15, 2001 Zen Master Dae Kwan (formerly Hyang Um Sunim JDPS) received transmission from Zen Master Seung Sahn at Kye Ryong Sahn International Zen Center/Mu Sahn Sah.
[Raises Zen stick over head, then hits table with stick.]
Two thousand five hundred forty five years ago, Buddha sat under the bodhi tree and practiced. One morning, he saw a star and got enlightenment. Twenty years ago, Hyang Um sat in a cave in Thailand, saw a snake, lost her enlightenment. So losing is getting, getting is losing.
When Zen Master Seung Sahn told me dharma has no good and bad… BOOM! At that moment getting and losing was taken away. So no losing, no getting.
The second patriarch Hui Ko cut off his arm. In losing his arm, he got it. Hyang Um, sitting in Su Bong Zen Monastery, is gaining more weight, so she also gets it. So getting is getting, losing is losing.
Thank you Zen Master Seung Sahn for your great teaching. So, what did I attain? Here is a poem for our great teachers:
Clear clear originally no dharma Kyong Ho is also like this Man Gong cannot find it How did Ko Bong ever get it? Seung Sahn, only don't know What does this mean?
Hyang Um is only for you.
Actually my dharma talk is over. But Zen Master Seung Sahn many times says, maybe you don't understand, so a little bit of explanation is necessary.
The first line is "Clear clear originally no dharma." Also, the Sixth Patriarch's teaching is originally there is nothing.
The second line says, "Kyong Ho"; "Kyong" means mirror and "Ho" means space. So, in a clear mirror, and also in space, we cannot find anything. So, Zen Master Kyong Ho is also like this.
"Man Gong cannot find it." "Man" means complete and "Gong" means empty. So, in this complete emptiness one cannot find anything. That is why Zen Master Man Gong cannot find any attainment in his practice.
The fourth line is: "How did Ko Bong ever get it?" "Ko" means ancient and "Bong" means peak. An ancient peak is already in the past, so how do you get anything from the past? "Seung Sahn" means high mountain. A high mountain never knows that it is high, so that's why Seung Sahn is "only don't know." "What does this mean?"
This hit means return to our primary point. "Hyang" means incense, so incense can purify the air, our mind. "Um" means the sound of this world. "For you" is our school's teaching, the direction of our action is always for others.
So the first step is to attain our substance, which is nothing. With this "nothing" we can see, hear, smell, taste clearly. Our action is clear, which means "only don't know." Only don't know has no "I." With no "I," our actions are already pure. Pure means not for myself, it is for all beings. When we are born we get many things. Later we get even more. We get money, we get houses, we get food. Also some of us get married, get a husband or wife. At the same time we lose many things. All the things we get, one day we will lose. What we get or lose doesn't matter actually, how we use them correctly is most important. If we always return to primary point, then primary point is like a mirror, a clear mirror which only reflects. So, lose time only lose, get time only get. But when we lose, what kind of mind do you have, and when you get, what kind of mind appears then? This is very important. Always return to our school's teaching about direction… only for you. I want to thank you very much, Zen Master Seung Sahn, for your great teaching. Hong Kong people and the Chinese are lucky that we can receive your dharma.

Final Score: Pittsburgh 3, St. Louis 1
Pittsburgh, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Jeff Locke allowed just one run over 7 1/3 innings and added a pair of base hits as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 3-1, at PNC Park. Locke (6-3) scattered six hits, struck out three and walked one on the mound, improving to 4-0 in his last five starts. Ike Davis added a mammoth two-run homer for the Pirates, who won the final two tests of this three-game set to draw closer to the NL Wild Card- leading Cardinals. Russell Martin added two hits and Andrew McCutchen drove in a run for Pittsburgh, which drew within 2 1/2 games of the Cardinals and also inched closer to the San Francisco Giants, the leader for the second wild card. St. Louis starting pitcher Adam Wainwright (15-9) was tagged with the loss, failing for a second straight start to become the first pitcher to 16 wins in the majors this season. The right-hander was charged with three runs on eight hits, striking out five and walking one, over six frames. Matt Holliday homered and Daniel Descalso had a pair of hits to lead the Cardinals, who have dropped four of six.
Final Score: Philadelphia 8, Washington 4
Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Grady Sizemore and Marlon Byrd each hit two-run homers to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a three-game sweep of the Washington Nationals with an 8-4 win on Wednesday. The Phillies took the lead with a three-run rally in the sixth inning sparked by Byrd's leadoff single against Washington starter Doug Fister. Philadelphia's bullpen shut the door over the final three innings in relief of starter Kyle Kendrick. Antonio Bastardo and Jake Diekman each tossed a perfect frame to set up Ken Giles, who stranded a pair of runners in the ninth to send Philadelphia to its fourth straight win. The Phillies honored the Taney Dragons before the game for their run to the Little League World Series.
Final Score: Atlanta 3, New York 2
Flushing, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Julio Teheran pitched well into the seventh inning, Andrelton Simmons made at least one game-saving defensive play and the Atlanta Braves held on to beat the New York Mets 3-2 on Wednesday to snap a three-game losing streak. Simmons prevented the tying run from scoring when he gunned down Travis d'Arnaud from shallow left field to end the eighth inning after chasing down a ground ball in the hole. Braves closer Craig Kimbrel put the first two runners on base in the ninth but got three straight outs to preserve the win and earn his 39th save. The Braves never trailed after Jason Heyward led off the game with a home run and bounced back from a 3-2 loss in the three-game series opener on Tuesday. Simmons also made two good defensive plays in the seventh inning backing up third baseman Phil Gosselin. Wilmer Flores homered for the Mets, who played without injured stars David Wright (neck spasms) and Daniel Murphy (calf) for the second game in a row.
Final Score: Cincinnati 7, Chicago 5
Cincinnati, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Mat Latos pitched into the eighth inning and Skip Schumaker drove in two runs in Cincinnati's 7-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs at Great American Ball Park. Cuban outfielder Jorge Soler homered in his first career plate appearance, and his RBI single capped a three-run top of the eighth to get the visitors within a run, but pinch-hitter Chris Heisey homered off Zac Rosscup leading off the bottom of the inning. Latos (5-3) had a season-best 10 strikeouts over seven-plus frames and was charged with seven hits and four runs. He's 3-0 over his last six starts and hasn't lost since July 27 against Washington. The Reds have won three of four since a seven-game skid. Jacob Turner (4-8), who was acquired from Miami on Aug. 8 for a pair of minor league pitchers, suffered the loss in his first start in a Cubs uniform. Luis Valbuena also homered for the Cubs, who had a four-game winning streak broken.
Final Score: San Diego 3, Milwaukee 2 (10 innings)
San Diego, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Rene Rivera hit a solo homer in the ninth to tie the game, then hit an RBI single in the 10th to give the San Diego Padres a 3-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. Rivera led off the ninth with a home run off Francisco Rodriguez, making it 2-2. Milwaukee sent Zach Duke (4-1) to the mound in the bottom of the 10th. Seth Smith walked and Yasmani Grandal singled. Smith was thrown out at third when Cameron Maybin bunted into a fielder's choice. After pinch-hitter Rymer Liriano lined out, Rivera singled up the middle to plate the winning run.
Final Score: Los Angeles 3, Arizona 1
Phoenix, AZ (SportsNetwork.com) - Clayton Kershaw pitched eight strong innings to become the first 16-game winner in the majors this season, as the Los Angeles Dodgers edged the Arizona Diamondbacks, 3-1, to sweep a two-game series. Scott Van Slyke belted a solo homer, but left the game in the fourth inning with a mild right ankle sprain. Matt Kemp stroked a two-run double for the NL West leaders, who have won five of their last six games. Kershaw (16-3) fanned 10 and allowed six hits and an unearned run. His ERA dropped to a major league-best 1.73. The lefty is 9-1 in 11 starts against NL West clubs, and that includes wins in his last eight starts. Kenley Jansen retired the side in order in the ninth for his 38th save. Wade Miley (7-10) gave up seven hits and three runs to lose his third straight decision. Miley walked four and struck out six over six innings. The Diamondbacks suffered their third straight defeat and fell to 2-9 over their last 11 games.
Final Score: LA Angels of Anaheim 6, Miami 1
Anaheim, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Mike Trout went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored to lead the Los Angeles Angels to a 6-1 win over the Miami Marlins in the rubber match of a three-game set on Wednesday. Gordon Beckham also homered among his two hits, drove in two and scored twice for the AL West leaders. Los Angeles holds a one-game lead over Oakland with a pivotal four-game series starting between the two clubs in Anaheim on Thursday. Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton each knocked in a run for the Angels, who have won three of four. Hector Santiago (4-7) grabbed the win after going 5 2/3 innings and allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out six. Henderson Alvarez (10-6) took the loss, yielding five runs on eight hits over 6 1/3 innings. Miami has dropped five of its last seven.
Final Score: San Francisco 4, Colorado 2
San Francisco, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Buster Posey belted a two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning to catapult the San Francisco Giants to a 4-2 win over the Colorado Rockies. Tim Hudson followed Madison Bumgarner's gem by throwing eight solid innings for the Giants, but Santiago Casilla (2-3) gave up Justin Morneau's tying RBI double in the ninth. In the bottom portion, Angel Pagan singled to left off Juan Nicasio (5-6). Hunter Pence struck out swinging on a high pitch for the second out, but Posey homered to left field on an 0-1 pitch to send the Giants to victory. It was Posey's fifth homer in his last seven games. It was also the 1,600th win in the career for Giants manager Bruce Bochy, who passed Hall of Famer Tommy Lasorda for sole possession of 19th place on the all-time list. Hudson fanned eight and gave up four hits, including a fifth-inning homer to Corey Dickerson. The splash into McCovey Cove happened to be Colorado's first hit of the night.

CATEGORIES CinematicalYup, in case you didn't know, today is April 1, aka April Fools' Day. This is a day that divides us in two -- from the people who play along and laugh off the foolish holiday, to the people who get really angry and annoyed at the people playing jokes because they're, like, stupid and immature and not ultra-serious all the time.
While you decide which April Fools' Day fan (or non-fan) you are, we just wanted to take a moment to point out the funny gags ThinkGeek unveiled today. The company is known for their creative April Fools' merchandise pranks, so much so that one of their older pranks -- the Tauntaun sleeping bag -- was so popular that ThinkGeek actually created the real thing a year later. Will the same happen for 2011?
Perhaps with their Star Wars–related Lightsaber Popsicles (a pretty neat idea, for sure - check out video after the jump), though something tells us their De-3D glasses -- which turn annoying 3D images back into comforting 2D images -- won't catch on as fast (though we admit it's hilarious). Check out all the fun merch jokes they unveiled today over on the site and let us know your favorites (we're especially diggin' the Super 3DBoy iPhone System and Playmobil Apple Store Playset).

Giants fans, does the following sound familiar to you?"The lack of offense has wasted some effective starting pitching while accentuating the flaws of a shaky bullpen."
Ah, but it's not the men in French Vanilla of who Jerry Crasnick speaks -- it's the Chicago White Sox, who are even more offensively inept than we are. Perhaps reading about their plight will make us all feel a bit better about the Giants. (Just ignore the fact that their team is only two years removed from a World Championship. Really. Don't even think about it.)
Also, warnings for anyone thinking that we should trade for Dye:Dye, 33, has always been more of a gliding, single-speed kind of player than the explosive type. When he's productive he makes the game look relatively effortless, and when he struggles it can appear as if he's coasting. The challenge now is figuring out whether his skills are slipping or he's simply in a funk.
"I saw a lack of first-step quickness on defense and he was pushing a lot of balls to right-center field," the scout said. "That makes you wonder if his bat is slowing down."

Choosing a sampling method
Techniques > Research > Sampling > Choosing a sampling method
Probability | Quota | Selective | Convenience | Ethnographic | See also
There are many methods of sampling when doing research. This guide can help you choose which method to use. Simple random sampling is the ideal, but researchers seldom have the luxury of time or money to access the whole population, so many compromises often have to be made.
Probability methods
This is the best overall group of methods to use as you can subsequently use the most powerful statistical analyses on the results.
Quota methods
For a particular analysis and valid results, you can determine the number of people you need to sample.
In particular when you are studying a number of groups and when sub-groups are small, then you will need equivalent numbers to enable equivalent analysis and conclusions.
Selective methods
Sometimes your study leads you to target particular groups.
Convenience methods
Good sampling is time-consuming and expensive. Not all experimenters have the time or funds to use more accurate methods. There is a price, of course, in the potential limited validity of results.
Ethnographic methods
When doing field-based observations, it is often impossible to intrude into the lives of people you are studying. Samples must thus be surreptitious and may be based more on who is available and willing to participate in any interviews or studies.

Hello again from Peru! Dawn and I are having a great time here helping out with the research around Punta San Juan and with the guano harvest. What is a "guano harvest," you ask? Well, the guano harvest takes place every five to seven years, and it is run by the Peruvian government. They use the guano, or bird waste, which comes mainly from cormorants, Peruvian boobies, and Peruvian pelicans, to give to farmers to help enrich and fertilize their soil. The process is all done by hand, with many men organized to do the extraction. First, a group goes through and picks up all of the feathers and other animal debris. Next, a row of men with pick axes loosen up the packed guano, and then shovel it back onto piles. More men fill up large bags, weighing 80-100 pounds each. They stack the bags together so that the next group can load all the bags onto a large truck. It is then brought to a different site on the premises, away from the penguins and guano birds, where it is sifted and re-bagged into smaller bags for delivery to the farmers. The volunteers — that's us! — keep a watch over the penguins and guano birds, recording any disturbances we see. After the men are done, we also measure the area of extraction with GPS coordinates.
But we don't just watch the harvest — we are kept busy! Some of the other volunteer jobs include doing animal censuses, where we carefully go to the edges of the cliffs, overlooking the beaches, so as to not scare the animals below! We take counts of sea lions, adult and juvenile penguins, and fur seals at all of the north and south beaches. Some of the popular beaches have 500-650 fur seals on them, and all of them must be counted twice a day!! We volunteers also do tag checks at South Beach 3 twice a day. Some of the fur seals were tagged previously, so we sit above and look for flipper tags, then try to determine color and the ID number… which is not always easy since the paint has worn completely off some of the older tags! We will also be doing penguin nest checks this week and next, and beach clean-ups on a couple of the beaches next week. So far, Dawn and I are having a great time working, and feel so grateful that we can be here to help out! I will try to post again when I get a chance to come to the house where there is internet access! Adios for now!

By Christian Jennings - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Thomasville city leaders voted this week to roll back the millage rate. They want to eventually get rid of the city property tax all together.
To make up for the lost revenue, they plan on focusing on growing their enterprise departments, and work on attracting new business.
Any business owner will tell you that times are tough.
So when people heard they will be getting a little relief on their taxes, they were thrilled, but also skeptical. Many said it's hard to imagine how the city is going to cut back, when the economy is so bad.
Linda Benton is the proud owner of 'Shapes and More,' a popular Thomasville toy store.
"This back to school season was quite rough," she said. A new school season usually feels more like Christmas. This year it felt more like her first year in business, and on top of that, "It's just tax, tax, tax!"
So when she heard about the city's decision to lower the millage rate, she was thrilled. "Anything lower would be good for the business owner as well as the customer. They'll have more money to spend, a domino effect."
The city council voted this week to lower the rate from 2.55 to 2.50 mils. "It's a tax decrease of $40,000."
But it gets better. "Our long term goal is to eliminate property tax all together," said City Manager Steve Sykes.
Thomasville's taxes are already lower than many surrounding cities. With Albany, Cairo, and Tifton's millage rates significantly higher. But with a down economy, many question how they will make up for the lost revenue.
Sykes says they'll focus on economic development by growing their enterprise departments, Electric, cable, and water to name only a few.
"They're going to buy those services somewhere, why not buy from your community and keep those dollars here," Sykes said.
Linda Benton says, that sounds good to her. City manager Steve Sykes says if they didn't have their enterprise services-- CNS cable, sanitation, etc., the millage rate would have to be as high as 11 mils.
The city plans to eliminate the property tax in four years.

The upright row is considered one of the best muscle builders for the back and shoulders. However, you need experience and foundation with weight training before lifting heavy weights in this exercise. The back should be kept straight and the weight moderate. Use only a wide grip, and don't raise the arms above parallel to avoid shoulder impingement.
Find out more about weight training fundamentals if you need background information before you try this exercise.
1. How to Do The Upright Row - The Starting Position
- Stand with legs at a comfortable distance apart -- about shoulder width is about right.
- Grasp a barbell or dumbbells, hanging in front of you at arms length, palms facing the body.
- Standing up straight, adjust your grip so that your hands are about in line with the thighs. That is, not too close together.
- A "wavy" EZcurl bar makes this exercise a little easier on the wrist joints. (See picture.)
2. How to Do the Upright Row - The Exercise Description
- Brace the abdominals, keep the back straight and lift the weights straight up then down again in a controlled manner.
- The arms should go no higher than parallel with the shoulders. Slightly less is OK. Breathe in to start. Breathe out on effort.
- Try to keep the wrists from excessive movement down or to the side.
- Don't squat down and up after the initial pose. No movement of the legs occurs.
- Do not lift heavy with this exercise unless you are experienced and trust your shoulder joints.
- Shoulder impingement has been reported with excessive weight and, or, poor form. If pain or inflammation occurs, cease the exercise.

County Commissioners Approve Funding For Fall 2014 Beach Nourishment Project
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 07 May 2014 21:58
- Written by Super User
Left to right: Carolina Beach Council member Leann Pierce, Mayor Dan Wilcox, Congressman Mike McIntyre, Council members Steve Shuttleworth and Gary Doetsch and Town Manager Michael Cramer. McIntyre visited the area last week to tour the beachfront and talk about the future of beach nourishment funding. The Town's 50-year federal program expires in December and efforts are underway in Washington to extend that program.
By WILLARD KILLOUGH III
Managing Editor
CAROLINA BEACH - The New Hanover County Board of Commissioners voted at their May 5th, meeting to approve using $1.86 million dollars of Room Occupancy Tax (ROT) revenues collected from hotels and motels to help fund pumping 500,000 cubic yards of sand onto the beach in Carolina Beach later this year.
The Board took no action on a request from neighboring Kure Beach to use the same funding source for a nourishment project later this year.
Layton Bedsole, New Hanover County Shore Protection Manager, said, "In fiscal year 2014 the Army Corp of Engineers was able to bring forward approximately $2.1 million dollars from last years" budget and, "And in this years fiscal year 2014 work plan they were able to secure $2.7 million dollars. With that that's $4.8 million total. We were fortunate to have $727,000 from the State and we are asking tonight $1.863 million to make a $7.4 million dollar project."
The $1.863 million would come from the County's Room Occupancy Tax Fund.
Visitors to hotels, motels and short-term vacation accommodations pay a Room Occupancy Tax (ROT). Portions of that tax are used to fund beach nourishment in Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Wrightsville Beach. Other portions of the ROT are used for tourism promotion and to fund tourism related events that put more heads on beds in hotels.
The Town's 50 year Authorization Agreement with the Federal government is set to expire at the end of this year. This could be the last time Federal money is received for such a project if congressional leaders do not reauthorize or extend the Town's Project Cooperation Agreement.
Bedsole said the Army Corp of Engineers, "Needs to award this project by October 1st and have the project well underway by the middle of December. Considering the issues associated with the Carolina Beach project federally, staff supports this recommendation."
Carolina Beach just received an infusion of sand pumped onto the beach last year.
Bedsole said, "New Hanover County is very fortunate in that we have three coastal storm damage reduction projects. All three were congressionally authorized in 1962. The Carolina Beach project and Wrightsville Beach project started in 1965 and the Kure Beach project didn't start until 1996 following Hurricane Fran. The Carolina Beach authorization does expire the middle of December. We are working hard in Washington DC to try and get some extension language in the Water Resources Development Act. It has not come out of conference yet and we anticipate it to come out of conference at the end of May hopefully."
County Manager Chris Coudriet explained, "For those folks who visit and stay in hotels, motels and other rental units, those individuals do pay 6% room occupancy tax. The room occupancy was originally 3% and it was added 3% to it a number of years ago. That first 3% is what we are talking about here tonight."
The second 3% is used for tourism related expenditures with half going towards marketing and the other half towards tourism related expenditures that "put more heads on beds" such as funding fireworks displays, festivals and helping fund lifeguards.
Coudriet explained, "That first 3% was split into a 60-40 relationship. 60% out of that first 3% goes to what people often hear referred to as the "sand fund". Those are the dollars that we use to match federally authorized projects and customarily as the vice chairs point, we usually share in the non-federal point on a 50-50 relationship. But we draw those dollars out of the room occupancy tax exclusively funded through families and businesses that spend the night in facilities that are charged for collecting 6% on the room occupancy tax. So that is not a use of general fund dollars. Those dollars were authorized by the General Assembly for a specific purpose and we can only use them to match nourishment projects. We use those dollars not to do maintenance of the Carolina Beach Inlet, not to do the Mason's Inlet project from the 1990's, but specifically for placing sand on the beach at Wrightsville, Carolina and Kure Beaches."
He said, "This is not a regularly scheduled renourishment cycle. It is the federal governments attempt to give a final nourishment to the beach with the ability to use federal funds. The number of dollars that we thought would be expected... is what the State planned for. The federal government, for everybody's good fortune was able to identify additional dollars which is why the match from the local side is different."
Coudriet explained, "This was an unplanned and off-cycle nourishment project. It was done in 2013 and the next regularly scheduled cycle is 2016 and that's where there is the high probability there will be no federal funding available" for Carolina Beach.
The Board of Commissioners approved the funding request and moved on to a request from the Town of Kure Beach for consideration of Kure Beach and Army Corp of Engineers advancing a three-year coastal storm damage reduction project cycle.
The Kure Beach Town Council previously sent a request to the County. That request, signed by Mayor Dean Lambeth, explained, "The Town of Kure Beach is submitting the enclosed resolution for your consideration. The purpose of the resolution is to request funding in the amount of $1,747,000 from the New Hanover County (NHC) Room Occupancy Tax (ROT) fund for a storm damage reduction project in 2014."
The letter states, "The Town was contacted by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) with a request to consider moving the scheduled 2016 storm damage reduction project to 2014. This is the same timeframe the Town of Carolina Beach is scheduled to receive their last authorized storm damage reduction project. The USACE stated it would be financially beneficial to reduce mobilization costs by providing this service to both towns, island wide, at the same time. Federal funding is available for this project whether it is done in 2014 or 2016 in the amount of $4,745,000. State funding is also available in the amount of $808,000."
The letter states, "As per the attached updated budget estimate from the USACE, the non-Federal ROT amount needed to do the project is $2,555,000. Subtracting the available State funding in the amount of $808,000, leaves a balance of $1,747,000 from the ROT fund to do the project in 2014. The non Federal ROT amount needed to do the project in 2016 is $1,277,500. This results in an additional $469,500 needed from the ROT fund in 2014 to proceed. The Town Council is seeking the Board's support and approval of the request from the USACE by authorizing the funding in the amount of $1,747,000 in 2014."
County Manager Chris Coudriet explained in a response to the Town of Kure Beach, "I have calendared your ask for the May 5 county commission meeting immediately following the Carolina Beach nourishment question. I am not recommending the Board of Commissioners proceed with using ROT dollars for a Kure Beach nourishment at this time. My rationale is two-fold."
Coudriet explained, "1. The federal funds currently on hand were appropriated to the Corps for design (FY 2015) and construction of the project (FY 2016) following the customary 3 year nourishment cycle. I am not convinced that spending dollars early is the right course of action. 2. If the Corps, state, and county advance the project now, it is likely we will not have federal funds available a second time for the next Kure Beach nourishment planned in FY 2016. In this eventuality, the ROT will carry a disproportionate share of the next regularly- scheduled nourishment, and that ROT share would otherwise be unnecessary because we advanced a project to spend federal dollars early."
He explained, "It is not lost on me that I am recommending that we advance the customary nourishment cycle for Carolina Beach, which is what you are asking for your beach, but in the Carolina Beach circumstance I'm of the opinion it is the right course of action. After December 15, 2014 Carolina Beach is no longer eligible for federal funding, and this off-cycle project is the last chance to maximize federal funds, reduce the overall impact on the ROT for Carolina Beach nourishment, and this specific project may help reduce the scope and size in FY 2016 when the Carolina Beach project is dependent upon ROT, [maybe] state, and town funds only. In the absence of federal funds in FY 2016, Kure Beach would be responsible for 17.5 percent of the project cost."
During the Monday May 5th meeting, Mayor Dean Lambeth asked the County Commission to have a letter written for publication in a newspaper explaining why the County didn't support funding their request. He said, "We four are going to be on the hot seat for this. We would appreciate it. There were federal funds available."
The Board decided to take no action on the request based on the opinion of the County Manager and no letter will be written by the County as requested by Lambeth.

Dear Danny Claus,
Christmas is almost here and I know it's really last minute to mail in my Christmas wish list, but here it is anyway. I've been a good fan this year, purchasing merchandise and tickets to games. I've wasted work hours looking at stats and reading blogs. Though the other guys tell me I'm foolish, I still believe in you Danny Claus. I know you won't let me down. So I hope you can look into your magical Christmas bag and find something for me this year. Here are my Christmas wishes.
A real Center with shot-blocking action and kung-fu grip.
Honestly, I don't even need the kung-fu grip. All the guy really needs to be able to do is play starter minutes at the Center position. I'm really tired of watching Jared Sullinger get run off the floor by the likes of Roy Hibbert and other legit big men. Sully is great, and I don't want his development stunted by having to play out of position. He needs to be playing the four. If development is our goal, then it kinda makes sense, right?
Find a home for our lost puppies, Brandon Bass and Courtney Lee.
These guys deserve a good home; someone who will really take care of them. I know they're a little old and that some other teams think they take more than their share of scraps from the table, but they've got a lot of upside too. Bass is a great shooter and a much-improved defender, and Courtney Lee has really shown good efficiency in limited minutes. Please find these guys a home Danny. It's time to let them go.
Please don't trade our first-round picks for someone who isn't all-star caliber.
Seriously, Omer Asik is a nice player and I wouldn't mind having him on the team, (see number 1) but first-rounders are gold. If it'll take a first-rounder to land a big man, then go real big and put together a nice package for someone like Joakim Noah. I'd rather lose two first-rounders for Noah, than one first-rounder for Asik. Just don't trade gold for silver, that's all I'm saying.
Make Kelly Olynyk get a haircut.
That thing on his head is killing me!
Don't trade Rajon Rondo
Trading Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett was a real kick in the junk. I know it was a "good move" and people with brains really liked the move. I get it that it was the right thing to do and we'll be better off for it. I'm not really even trying to argue against it. But still… it was a kick in the junk. I can't deal with another one of those this year. Let us keep Rondo. We know he can play at a championship level. Just keep the guy.
Thanks Danny Claus. Here's hoping you have a Merry Christmas and all Celtics fans out there have a great Holiday Season.

Looks like they took a page out of our play book today. FG rushing of 207 yrds on 15 carries! There D shut the Sea hawks down and ..... their QB threw for what about 160 yds no TD and no Picks. Mike S has go them on track and they may win their division so this will be a good test. The 9r's did shut down AP was it last year?
This should be a good time to get in the grove during the 1st drive or two. A nice long drive or two may put them back on their heels and make them go away from the run.

First, make steamed rice and keep warm.
Cut 2 slits length wise down each fish filet and then alternating each of the
three strips, proceed to braid the fish, season with salt and pepper and then
pan sear in a sauté pan with the clarified butter. Transfer to an oven proof
pan and finish in a 350 degree oven for 3 to 5 minutes until done, keep warm.
In the mean time with the same pan, cook the ham until it begins to brown,
sweat onions until translucent, add sugar then deglaze with vinegar. Toss in
the collards and add 2-3 ounces wine cooking slowly with a lid to wilt and cook
through. Plate the collards with the rice and the fish. To finish: take the
same pan, without washing, and add the remaining wine and reduce by half then
using a whisk incorporate the butter cubes to make a sauce to serve over the
fish. Garnish with chopped parsley.

WARREN, Ohio - The Trumbull County Children Services Board and three employees are being sued for allegedly failing to prevent the rape of an adopted child during supervised visits.
The three million dollar suit was filed in federal court by the baby's adoptive parents who are not named in the suit.
Their attorney says he cannot confirm or deny that the child mentioned in the suit is the baby of Cody and Felicia Beemer who were convicted of raping their infant during supervised visits at Trumbull County Children's Services.
However, the circumstances are very similar.
The suit claims that children services allowed visitation with the child even though they knew that the baby's natural father was a sex offender and that the baby's mother had mental health issues.

Robust Heart may Help Extend Lifespan
by Sheela Philomena on November 20, 2012 at 4:17 PM Heart Disease News - G J E 4
A robust heart may extend your lifespan by a maximum of 14 years, finds study.
"We found that many people develop cardiovascular disease as they live into old age, but those with optimal risk factor levels live disease-free longer," said John T. Wilkins, study co-author and assistant professor of medicine and cardiology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
Researchers extracted data from five different cohorts included in the Cardiovascular Lifetime Risk Pooling Project and looked at the participants' risk of all forms of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular disease from ages 45, 55 and 65 through 95 years of age, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reported.
All participants were free of CVD at entry into the study and data on the following risk factors was collected: blood pressure, total cholesterol, diabetes and smoking status, according to a Northwestern statement.
The primary outcome measure for the study was any CVD event (including fatal and non-fatal coronary heart disease, all forms of stroke, congestive heart failure, and other CVD deaths).

The cameras are actually worn on the bodies of the officers and can record every encounter.
City Council members and many in the community have complained Cleveland Police don't record enough of what officers see and do, and it often leads to questions about what happened.
The city only has a small number of dashboard cameras in their cars.
Chief Michael McGrath recently told council the department is deciding on the numbers and kinds of cameras to buy.
Many small departments have cameras in all of their cars and Solon Police have been using the body cameras for some time.
The chief's office says its 32 body cameras will be spread out city wide with one assigned to the police gym unit and one assigned to the homicide unit.
The cameras were acquired for testing and training prior to purchase.

Every year, we draft a guy knowing he is going to be an anchor of your squad, and he then lays an egg right of the gate, and your team is in the cellar or, if you drafted astutely, middle of the pack. Let's look at the disapointments, and guys that have, or can, pick up the slack as they chill on your bench.
C: Geovanny Soto- You want to know why the Scrubs are not running away with the division as predicted? See exibit A. Soto is showing no power and isn't hitting period. Even with an early DL stint, he's still only hit one homer, and is hitting .198 so far. He may turn it around (and did alright last week), but if you have Kurt Suzuki, Brandon Inge, and Rod Barajas, you can weather the storm just fine.
1B: Lance Berkman- This guy has killed a lot of teams. His average is rising from the earlier noted .161, and is back up to .223 with a hot week last week. Russ Branyan has helped a lot of teams. No one expects him to keep hitting over .300, but thus far, he's been great.
2B: Dan Uggla- His average hasn't ever impressed, but with only 4 homers so far (behind Mark Derosa and Mike Fontenot), his true asset has yet to produce for teams. Aaron Hill is surprising the hell out of everyone, but Asdrubal Cabrera and his high average have carried people through.
3B: Garret Atkins- A guy that I expected big things from has just sucked all year. 3 homers from a corner guy... a guy that people thought was a steal... man don't get me started. Thank God for Casey Blake. His power has held the position down for a lot of teams.
SS: Jimmy Rollins- This was an obvious choice, but there have been so many disappointments here. This was supposed to be one of the deeper positions in Fantasy. The top rated SS is Jason Bartlett... yes, that Jason Bartlett.
OF: Vlad- A lot of choices here, but Vlad's injury has hurt a lot of teams. Adam Lind has rescued those teams with a high average and moderate power.
SP: Josh Beckett- Again a lot of choices, but Beckett has the Red Sox Hype machine working in his favor, and has sabotaged a lot of staffs. The K's are still there though, so he's not a total loss. Ole' Grienke has been great, but the surprise in my mind has been Zach Duke. Pretty much irrelevent after his rookie year, he's put himself as a top 20 pitcher.
RP: Brad Lidge- yes he's got 8 saves, but that 7.85 ERA are killing his owners. One of the greatest peformances this year has been Jason Frasor. His ERA is rivaling Ole' Grienke, and he's already racked up 4 Ws this season.
Feel free to make with the questions. I'll answer them for ya

Happy Tuesday!
Eileen here with a Boutique Spotlight on The GlamBar, a salon where you can sample a bit of Hollywood Glam down in the ATL!
The crystal chandelier adorned boutique with a hot pink decor offers some of the hottest beauticians in the A, indulgences like bottomless glasses of wine, and even a karaoke station!
Owned by Sabrina Peterson (pictured below), Glambar is perfect for a girl who has no problem with nonstop pampering:
Get a wash & Style for $40, a trim for $20, or pop in some color for $75. Pick up an inspirational book to read while you wait, then twirl around your new 'do on the stripper pole (YES, there's a stripper pole!). In addition to all its amazing services, The Glambar offers weekly pole classes for $15. Leave with a new cut or color AND some new moves. Owwww!
If you're in Hotlanta definitely check them out at 244 Peters Street, Atlanta, GA. Stylist Willi hooked up my hair, so make sure you ask for him!
Call for an appointment at 404-521-0800 or visit their website at www.theglambar.com. Oh and mention The Fashion Bomb for 10% off a service.
~Go there and get gorgeous!

The design of this salon is simply awesome…but I must say my experience was horrible!! Despite their "no gossip" clause they gossip so much it made me uncomfortable and anxious to get out of there!! They have very negative atmosphere..ad they completely reaffirm that you can't always judge a book by its cover!
really really cute!
I love the mix of drama && industrial
its very unique. props for that!
but the above statement? hmmmm…. if she's telling the truth, you might wanna go back to the drawing board because customer service will always eventually outshine a fabulous apperance.
Did u tell management? I have to object! I have been going to the salon since they opened and was there on the first day when we did vision boards with the stylist & I enjoyed it. They gave us free boards & the exercise was really positive. The salon is beautiful!!! Whoever designed it did an awesome job. I have been to almost every salon in Atlanta and the customer service has never matched the service & style I got @ Glambar. Shame on you for hating, I heard the owner state that we have got to stick togther. Take her advise!
Barbie is my stylist, I have been going to her for over 10 years. I love the salon & I love the cupcakes. I seen the comment above. Who did your hair? Did you like your hair? Try Barbie she does mine.Go Glam Bar!
Can they do hair better than the Dominicans?
Yeah, try Barbie. I'm natural & when she moved from Atl I was going to the dominicans. She is better to me! She grew my hair out and gave me more style. I looked like everybody else when I was going to the dominicans…
Dear TaTa,
I just was told by one of our clients that you had a not so glam experience. I would like to 1st say to you I apologize. I wish you would have contacted me. I'm in business in the real world & you have good days & you have bad days. I know for sure that the good outweight the bad. I'm sure that you have bad & good days. The only thing u can do is pray that u embrace & grow from both. Thanks 4 the input The Glam Bar will embrace & grow from ur input. As you know it's a salon! It's the only salon & 1st salon w/ a no gossip clause. When u are the 1st & only it takes time for your vision to come into play. As far as negative energy, I space clear everytime I'm there I burn Frankincense & keep sea salt @ the doors. The design I did it myself & actually lost my child to miscarriage from all the hard work I put in it. So in closing, I appreciate ur view! I will address ur issues w/ all. But if ur intentions today weren't negative & u wanted ur experience 2 be 1 that would make things better you should have contacted me. Be Blessed! My blessing is that whatever u seen will never happen again. That was a bad day, I deem today as good. Oh by the way my due date was surposed to be August 7th. So u making my salon better I consider a gift from my baby I lost. Ladies, we have got to stick together!!! xoxo Growth Is Glam!
Wow. Sorry for your loss Sabrina. Wishing God's strength to you. Stay positive!
wow! i'm excited about the glambar and impressed by sabrina's statement. but one thing, the link to the website isn't working. is it just me?
I heard a/b the salon…i am def gonna check it out…i've gon 2 willi b4!
Lets make this clear to all it's one thing to have a salon its another to know how to run it. Itas now October i i do see not one comment has been posted since aug. so take this as an update 1st Barbie is no longer at the glam bar after her and Sabrina the owner got into it because Sabrina has no class and decides she wants to fight in front of her sshop how tacky is that ud think she got enough when she put on papers for punching the dream the owner of the clothing store next door. i was also there the first day the shop opened and keep in mind the only person that still works there from the openin date to now is willy and that cuz he and her are so called bestfriends and she lets him have a chair without a licences speaking of she has no licences on the place for that matter wich leads to another story why Barbie is'nt there and Sabrina stop playin on dez people emotions pregnat no way if u had a due date u at least wud have a a pudge or even been out sick due to ur so called miscarrage Tata u were havin a good day that shop dose give off bad vibes and it starts with the owner to sum it all up ladies find another spot to get ur hair done glam bar is a no no but Sabrina has had much experiance on the pole if ur interested in the pole dancing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DAMN is Glambar bad like that i might have to shop around midtown for the new place
the glambar is very femme. i love willi. i kno i'm leaving feeling fabulous. i love the fact tht he takes his time and her make sure u r looking fab. heis the pressing queen and a great extension specialist. he is the glambar. u gotta love the glambar
Hmm..Sabrina is a strong woman and may have been through some things but she condemned me for not lying for her in court basically……i learned alot from her about how not to be false and righteous. K-rock was the only Stylistin the whole salon who saw her for what she was and took me under his wing when she fired me in a very rough time in my life!!! It is now a year later and i see her salon has closed and she has warrants out!…im so happy to leave this message here because one day she will hate that she treated so many with so much disregard..especially those who wanted to serve her and her misssion….lmao…….how is that i hear about her wicked and ghetto attitude all the way from california..it's sad. and yes the GLAM BAR WAS NEGATIVE…..—GOTTI
Awwwwwwe, I dont know anything about this salon or the owner but somethings should just be kept to yourself and your God. Come on guys if she that bad she will pay.
Can someone please post an update about the glam bar? I have an up coming appointment with Zara. How is the quality of the salon. The reviews are scaring me.
The glambar is a circus. The owner with the blonde hair is the most ghetto and ignorant person i ever seen in my life. I heard before hand all the negative talk about the glambar but was approched by a stylist that was promoting his self and thought i'll give it a try. Only to see the end result. My hair looked better when i walked in the door of the salon. They don't know what the HELL their doing. I don't know if it's from the hookah sticks or liqour or all the chemicals combine but one thing is clear that would the first and last time!!! I also was told by a customer not to use your credit card to pay your bill they take the cc# and apply additional charges…… Look around maybe you purchased something?

Sabrina did my best friend really wrong.she takes the stylist money (week in the whole) so to speak deal . Trust me more like pay me for the whole week you worked so I can stack more shit in the salon . But these stylist don't see how their being pimped including my friend. In this recession she playing with someone money .Really??? Huh better you than me. Cuzzzzz babbby! That would be her ASS! With your friends logging on to blogs approving this bullshit. Sabrina has had at least 50 employees.
I heard about the salon through Twitter & thought I'd give it a try. I stopped by that evening & was told I would have to pay " after hours fee" so I made an appointment w/ a young lady named Ming Lee for the following morning. Of course she was about an hr late, but I didn't stress it. She did a sew in/color for me, I paid almost $300. I get home & notice that my hair was noticebly uneven in the back. I returned to the shop maybe two days later & explained everything & I also brought my receipt along just in case, only to be told that Ming Lee no longer worked there & that I would have to pay to have it corrected. I believe the girls name was Erin? I told her I would not be paying after I just spent 300 for a lopsided weave. She eventually corrected it , but had the nerve to say I could had slid her something… I never returned & this was almost 2yrs ago
