Maikel Nabil Sanad is dying, his family says. The jailed 26-year-old Egyptian blogger has been on a hunger strike for over two weeks to protest his imprisonment.
"Maikel was never afraid," says his brother Mark, 19. "Since 2005, he wrote many articles against Mubarak and was never arrested, never taken to court. But the first time he writes against the military council, he gets arrested."
On the ground in Egypt, Sharif Abdel Kouddous has the story »

If I were to sit here and type out all the things that were wrong with my life…there actually wouldn't be very much. I'm pretty much healthy and so is my family. My parents are alright. I have a pretty nice apartment. My job isn't that bad. The only infractions I deal with at this point in time are: not being able to pay for the college I want to be in, my mom being psychosomatically depressed (and also very vocal about it), and seeing my dad once or twice a month. Not so bad in comparison to what other people I know have gone through. So why do I feel like the scum of the earth?

Horn not working on 96 Cavalier
Horn not working on 96 Cavalier
He has either a 1996 or 97 Cavalier and he some how shorted out the DC outlet by the steering colum, and now his horn does not work. He knows it's related to this because he tells me he was playing with the outlet at the time. Now, I would like to know what fuse, if any the horn is connected to, being that I would imagine that would be the first place to check for a solutuion. And, if it's not the "horn fuse" then is it the horn unit it self, or something else.
Thanks guys,
P.S. I am used to working with GM cars, W bodies to be specific, so, I pretty much know all I think I would to get this working again.
I don't know if its a fuse, but i did have to replace my horn unit, id recommend just buying a cheap generic replacement for like 30 bucks rather than the like 70+ bucks that gm whats for an original horn (canadian btw), replacing the actual horn unit is a bitch, its fairly akward to get at and than take apart, my 96 cavalier's horn just stopped working 1 day so i had to replace mine, but if it could be a fuse check into that first
Did you check the 15amp lighter fuse? My outlet also recently shorted out. The horn also hasn't been working for a week or two but didn't think anything really of it. I didn't realize the outlet had shorted until I tried to read a code and the scanner wouldn't connect to the computer. It draws 12V through the DLC and is tied to that same fuse. It wouldn't take a leap of imagination to guess that the horn may be tied in to that same fuse. It's not likely that the lighter, horn, and DLC would all be used at the same time.
replace the lighter fuse. i have a short in my cig lighter so anytime somebody tries to plug a cell phone charger in it it blows the fuse then i have no horn. i wish people would tell me that they are goign to plug shit in before hand save me 25 cents. bastards. but yeah replace the fuse and it should be all good. its got the diagram on the back of the fuse cover on the driver side dash next to the door.
My remote trunk release isn't opening my trunk anymore. Please Help.

John Tortorella is on the hot seat with the Vancouver Canucks. It was only a matter of time until the Canucks followed their coach into a state of chaos. Vancouver has circled the drain for a while now, and the free fall has not stopped. The Canucks did win last night, but that victory won't take him of the hot seat.
Torts is a heck of a coach, but his "skills" diminish over time. He has a history of burning out his welcome, and ripping players apart. Sure, he won the Jack Adams award with the Tampa Bay Lightning back in 2003-2004. He led the Lightning to a Stanly Cup championship that year. But, that may be the only bright spot on Tortorella's resume. His constant temper tantrums are going to be what people remember about him.
His overall record of 440-368-27-77 (.539) basically puts it in prospective. His is average, and an average coach cannot afford to keep acting like a baby. Torts was suspended for 15 days this season. He couldn't keep his temper under control and tried to get into the Calgary Flames locker room. My question is what would he have done if he got in? There is a reason coaches wear a suit and tie. They are supposed to act like adults, and be a role model for their team. Tortorella is not doing that, in fact he is driving the Canucks right into disrepair. Yes his GM and Owner have not helped, but the coach will always take the fall.
Torts is not cut out for today's NHL players. In the old days the players respected, and did what the head coach said; now the roles have flipped. The coach is really working for the players. They make more money, and the players are the reason fans pay big money to come watch the game. The game has become about making the players happy. That skill is something Torts has not yet mastered.
There will most likely be another job waiting for the hard-nosed coach, but I'm guessing his name alone will not carry him much longer. He needs to change his reputation, and reconsider his coaching style. The Canucks need to unload this guy before he does any more damage.

Biogas Investment Tax Credit Act would make biogas eligible for 30 percent investment tax credit.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-New York, has introduced the Biogas Investment Tax Credit Act of 2014 (S. 2739), a move applauded by the American Biogas Council (ABC), a Washington-based trade association for the U.S. biogas industry. The tax credit, introduced in late July 2014, would provide a 30 percent investment tax credit (ITC) for qualifying biogas technologies and add biogas to the list of renewable energy technologies that already receive a 30 percent federal investment tax credit.
The introduction of S. 2739 reflects the importance that biogas can play in our nation's energy mix, says ABC. While biogas projects that generate electricity are eligible for a production tax credit under Section 45 of the federal tax code, currently no comparable tax incentive exists for the production of renewable biogas when it is used for purposes other than electricity generation, the association says.
"To be able to recycle organic materials that today are mostly disposed of in a manner that contributes to global warming, we must build more biogas systems," says Patrick Serfass, executive director of the ABC. "We thank Senator Schumer for sponsoring of the Biogas Investment Tax Credit Act which recognizes the full value that biogas systems can contribute as renewable energy generators—not just their role in producing renewable electricity."
Biogas systems recycle organic materials in fully enclosed biological systems that both capture the naturally created methane to create electricity and fuel and also produce nutrient-rich soil amendments designed to reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers.
According to the Biogas Opportunities Roadmap, created by several federal agencies, the United States currently has more than 2,000 sites producing biogas. The Roadmap's authors say that with the proper support more than 11,000 additional biogas systems could be deployed in the United States. If fully realized, ABC says these biogas systems could produce enough energy to power more than 3 million American homes and reduce methane emissions equivalent to 4 to 54 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions in 2030, equivalent to the annual emissions of between 800,000 and 11 million passenger vehicles.

When news of Henry Melton signing with the Dallas Cowboys for a 1-year deal worth a reportedly worth $4 million emerged, our own Mike Flannery questioned the move, suggesting that it was a mistake by the Bears to let Melton walk:
Perhaps more details will come out over the next 24 hours that clear things up a little, but my initial reaction is that the Bears made their first mistake of the off-season.
As the dust has settled, details of Melton's contract have emerged, which might shed a little more light on why the Bears let the talented DT head back home to Dallas to play for former Bears defensive line coach and coordinator Rod Marinelli. As reported by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport:
Terms for Henry Melton's #Cowboys deal: 1st year, $5M. If he's on roster Day 1 of '15, 3 years kick at $8M per year, $9M guaranteed for '15
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 19, 2014
Rather than a 1-year, $4 million deal, the contract could become a 4-year, $30 million deal including $9 million guaranteed for 2015. I'm not surprised the Bears didn't match that deal. As good as Melton has been in a Bears uniform, I don't think he's worth $8 million per year. Besides, he's coming off an ACL injury and there have been some questions about his offseason rehabilitation work. The cherry on top is a nasty off the field run in with law enforcement officials when he reportedly went all Mike Tyson on a Texas bar owner's ear.
As the Bears piled up versatile defensive linemen like Nate Collins, Jeremiah Ratliff and Izzy Idonije in free agency, I thought the chances for Melton coming back lessened with each move.
Melton doesn't seem to hold any ill will in his parting tweet from Chicago:
Thank you chicago for the best 5 years of my life!…. I can't wait to begin the next chapter of my life… With a star on my helmet.
— Henry Melton (@HenMel) March 19, 2014
Best of luck to Hank the Tank on and off the field in Dallas.

Learn tools and techniques for measuring, managing, and improving your facility's overall performance in a new guide, Performance Measurement Procedures for Commercial Buildings: Best Practices Guide.
Published by ASHRAE and funded in part through a grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the book provides specific best practices in the areas of energy consumption, water use, and four elements of indoor environmental quality: thermal comfort, IAQ, lighting/daylighting, and acoustics.
It allows owners to be proactive on an ongoing basis and reduce costs through maintenance and verification of building systems and environments.
"This guide gives building owners and their consultants the practical performance measurement guidance to meet market demands for keeping operation costs down without sacrificing the health, comfort, and productivity of their highest cost component – the building's occupants," said Jim Bochat, chair of the project committee that wrote the book. "This is the book that facility managers, building operators, technicians, consultants, commissioning authorities, architects, and design engineers need to ensure that their buildings are green, energy efficient, highly productive, healthy, and attractive to others."
The book is a companion to 2010's Performance Measurement Protocols for Commercial Buildings, which identified what to measure, how to measure it, and how often to do so. The 2013 guide presents step-by-step procedures to improve performance in specific categories.
For example, the three process levels of performance for energy are:
A water assessment involves detailed readings and usage analysis and typically employs a specialist or consultant. Thermal comfort evaluation involves occupant surveys and field observations. Lighting analysis focuses on controls, daylighting, and visual activity.

Chinese have their own internet sites and social fora. Many of them prefer that. Not only u r blogs an articles but also for things like ecommerce, Chinese prefer using their own B2B solutions like alibaba rather than relying on "foreign" sites like ebay. That, and the language barrier is also an issue.Answered by A Moin, 24 Nov '12 07:17 pm
I think that, for a short period of time, one person (from China) had started participating in this forum and trying to present his countries view point.

Sheriff Promotes Three Officers
Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts promoted one Lexington County Sheriff's Department deputy to supervise forensic services, one Lexington County Detention Center correctional officer to supervise a shift of correctional officers who oversee inmates and one correctional officer to supervise training for officers who work at the detention facility.
Metts promoted Douglas "Doug" Novak, 45, of Lexington, to the rank of sergeant and assigned Novak to supervise forensic services, which include the crime scene investigation unit, drug laboratory and evidence unit. Novak previously served as an investigator in the Major Crimes Unit. On December 14, 1998, Metts appointed Novak to serve as a deputy.
Metts promoted Walter Todd, 39, of Batesburg, to the rank of sergeant and assigned Todd to supervise a shift of correctional officers who oversee inmates in housing units at the Detention Center. Todd previously held the rank of master correctional officer and supervised inmate workers and supplies for the Detention Center. On February 26, 2007, Metts appointed Todd to serve as a correctional officer.
Metts promoted Janet Young, 46, of Edgefield, to the rank of sergeant and assigned Young to supervise training for correctional officers at the Detention Center.
Young previously held the rank of master correctional officer and coordinated inmate programs, such as alcohol and drug abuse counseling and job skills programs, at the Detention Center, Metts said. On June 3, 2002, Metts appointed Young to serve as a correctional officer.

Guestbook comments from the manager
Our stay in the house was wonderful. The house was super clean upon our arrival. Having rented vacation properties for many years, your house was (by far) the best stocked with supplies for a temporary stay. There is adequate pots and pans, etc. as well as umbrellas for a day out in the rain. The proximity to the beach is just right. The gentleman (can't remember his name) who manages the property in Ft. Lauderdale was extremely nice and helpful, I've never experienced a managment company so willing to be of assistance. Thanks for a great time in Florida. If we ever head that way again, we will certainly use your home.

Supply Chain Security: 10 Best Practices
How to enhance your supply chain security
As we try to trim operational costs to improve margins, the supply chain is often an area where a significant impact can be made in reducing costs and operational losses with minor tweaks to the overall security plan. Many of the basic principles that apply to the retail store environment apply to the supply chain. The difference in the supply chain is your risks are not limited to the distribution center or one location — they must be applied to the entire fleet of drivers and every location in the supply chain. Here are 10 best practices to enhance supply chain security:
1. "Sift the sand for diamonds." When screening applicants and evaluating current talent, I had a partner who would say, "You have to sift the sand for diamonds" — meaning you should take your time to find the right person. Sometimes, the pressure to get someone hired puts the organization at risk because they hire a body, not the right person. We can also fall into the trap of keeping someone who is not right for the job to avoid digging for that right person. Additionally, be sure to check your screening procedures — from background check standards to drug testing. Tighter screening controls will mean you have a better applicant base to choose from. Cutting corners just to get a body in an empty position will cost more in the long run.
2. Train early and often. Distribution center associates and fleet drivers need to be reminded they are part of the solution to drive shrink reduction and operational improvement. Security training should start from the moment a new person is hired and continue frequently throughout their career. Drivers should be clear on your expectations at orientation — they should hear about many of the ways they are checked and should believe they are being watched even while they are on the road, whether you have that capability or not. It also helps to keep your security message attractive. Classroom training works but can be boring; however, visually entertaining methods such as videos, interactive computer training sessions and text message blasts can improve retention and compliance.
3. Use tip lines. Associates are often afraid to come forward with information concerning theft or safety-related issues due to fears of retribution or being identified as the source of the information. Drivers are often overlooked as a source for supply chain information. There are many third-party organizations that are available to provide tip line services. Many have both telephone and internet options, and most operate 24 hours per day and have translation services.
4. Network, network, network. If you are getting the news from your local TV station or the newspaper, you are missing out on critical information that can harm your supply chain. There are often neighborhood business associations, Loss Prevention-Law Enforcement partnerships, and internet networks that can be used to collect valuable information on what is going on in your area. With Organized Retail Crime (ORC) and cargo theft on the rise, you should use every method possible to connect with peers to work together to address crime.
5. Don't be afraid to try new things. New technology can go a long way to spread the security budget and provide results. In the last few years, GPS devices have improved to enable the tracking of shipments or even single cases. Fleet managers can now track truck routes, check driver speeds and driving behaviors, and be alerted to safety issues with the touch of a button remotely.
6. Old school still works. Old methods of investigating issues still work. Following a delivery from the warehouse can reveal safety issues that can result in major claim losses and detect theft potential. Meeting the driver at the destination and checking the delivery can reinforce your security measures and send the message that they can be checked anywhere.

Two immigrant families seek prosperity in B.C.
Denise Ryan, Vancouver SunPublished: Thursday, October 30, 2008
To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the establishment of B.C. as a Crown colony, we look at two of the province's most interesting immigrant families.
Yip Sang
A century and a half ago in the Canton Delta region of China, political strife, war, poverty and famine had stripped everything from a teenage boy named Yip Sang - everything but his spirit and will to survive. His parents had passed away, and his sister had been kidnapped by bandits. He would never see her again.
At the age of 19, Yip Sang decided to seek his fortune in North America, known as "Gold Mountain."More pictures: < Prev | Next >
At the age of 19, Yip Sang decided to seek his fortune in North America, known as "Gold Mountain." It took 80 days for him to traverse the ocean by Chinese junk, from Hong Kong to San Francisco.
Sang got work first as a cook, then a dishwasher, then rolling tobacco into cigars. But it was 1864 and he'd heard the real gold mountain was in the Yukon. So he loaded his meagre belongings on to a wheel cart, joined a wagon train and made his way on foot to the Yukon gold fields.
Sang had no luck as a prospector. By the time he arrived in the mid 1860s, the "gold mountain" had been depleted, the gold rush was dwindling. The Crown colony on the west coast of Canada, which had swelled by 30,000 people of multiple ethnicities searching for gold, had plunged into a recession.
Sang headed for Vancouver where eventually he lucked into work. He was hired by Lee Piu, a CPR foreman, as bookkeeper, timekeeper and paymaster.
He bore responsibility well, was soon promoted to Chinese superintendent, and tasked with managing the flow of Chinese labourers from Shantung and Kwantung provinces to work on the railroad. Sang had finally found his place in the world, and his purpose.
He soon had nearly 7,000 Chinese labourers working under him. Sang travelled from camp to camp by horse, carrying bags of gold to pay the labourers, sometimes being chased through the mountains by robbers.
His tremendous sense of responsibility and vision would make him not just an excellent manager, but a community leader devoted to educating and integrating what would become one of the most important immigrant groups in Canada's nation-building.
The legacy he left is one of both people, and place. "His work here at that time was important to the country," said his great-grandson, Vancouver chartered accountant, Randall Yip.
"Prime minister MacDonald had promised the railroad as a condition for B.C. to join the confederations," Yip said. "One of the most difficult portions under construction was the Fraser Canyon. They needed labour to put the railway through cheaply. Chinese got paid less."
Historians have estimated that two Chinese labourers died per mile of railway laid down. "But the important thing is that it got built," said Yip. "B.C. joined the confederation and was not absorbed into the U.S."
At the age of 40, Sang returned to China a wealthy man. He had, all those years, loved a girl he had once seen in a village parade and never forgotten. Lee Shee married him and bore two children, but soon became ill. Knowing that she would die before they could return to Vancouver, she urged Sang to take a second wife to raise their children, and then a third when she didn't approve of his first choice. He would later take a fourth wife, a common practice among Chinese citizens at the time.
Although Lee Shee died in China, Sang returned to Canada and established Wing Sang imports, constructing a building at 51 East Pender Street in Vancouver.
The building housed his three wives and his children, 19 boys and four girls. Although the boys all had names, there were so many of them said Randall, they were known by number.
"No. 1 uncle became a doctor," Randall said, "the first Chinese doctor to be recognized in Canada, although he could not get a place in a hospital, so he opened a practice in Chinatown.
"No. 4 uncle was the first Chinese engineer, but he was never able to practise because of discrimination within his profession. No. 17 became a lawyer, the first Chinese to practise law in Canada."
That son, Kew Dock Yip, graduated from Osgoode Hall law school in 1945 and went on to become an important figure in Canadian law. He worked to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act, was very active in the Chinese-Canadian community and toward the end of his life started an acting career, appearing in the movie Year of the Dragon with Mickey Rourke.
Randall Yip's father Queue was equally interesting. No. 16 was a star athlete, reputed to be a faster runner than Jesse Owens, a spectacular soccer player and one of the first Chinese-Canadians to gain entry to the University of British Columbia, where he ran in track and field.
Queue, who went on to become a chemist, was recently inducted into the B.C. sports hall of fame.
The building at 51 Pender that housed this vital B.C. family is currently being restored by Bob Rennie. In its heyday, the home was was a hub of activity in Chinatown, a place where community gathered, where important mail made its way from China to community members, and where new immigrants found guidance and support.
"There was a walk-in vault, a teller's wicket and a bank for people in the neighbourhood. On the third floor there was a school room where the children were educated, and there were maids, cooks and a kitchen with huge woks to feed everyone."
Yip Sang would eventually own eleven properties in Vancouver, and was once offered a chance to purchase the strip of land that became Granville Street. He declined. According to family legend, he was on his way to China at the time, and his thoughts were on that other land.
Yip Sang never forgot his homeland, and contributed to the building of schools in China, including the Taishan No. 1 High School, which is still operational. In Vancouver he helped found the Chinese Benevolent Society, and often rubbed shoulders with the mayor and other dignitaries.
At a reunion in August, 347 direct descendants of Yip Sang gathered in Vancouver, all of them inspired by their grandfather's legacy of hard work, determination and community-building.
"I like to think he did something good for this country," said Randall Yip.
The Dunsmuirs
On a high and rocky hill overlooking the city of Victoria stands Craigdarroch castle. Now open to the public, the castle was once a home, and remains a proud monument not just to Robert Dunsmuir, the man who dreamed it into existence, but to the entrepreneurial spirit early settlers brought to the Crown colony.
When Robert Dunsmuir launched construction of Craigdarroch castle in 1887 he was, according to biographer Terry Rekston, "the richest, most powerful man in British Columbia."
His journey took him from Scotland as an indentured coal miner for the Hudson's Bay Company to landowner, railway builder and coal baron.
"He pulled himself up by his own hard work and bootstraps," mused Vancouver philanthropist and businessman Michael Audain, who is a great-great-grandson of Robert Dunsmuir.
Audain, who grew up in Britain, said it wasn't until he was in his early 40s and moving into business from a career as a social worker that he "began to reassess the family, out of respect for the tremendous entrepreneurial skills Robert Dunsmuir had. He took a lot of risks, used leverage, had to raise capital privately with partners."
After a brutal 191-day boat trip that circled Cape Horn, Dunsmuir and his heavily pregnant wife Joan arrived at Fort Vancouver, then a "dilapidated, dirty" Hudson's Bay outpost.
They would soon move to Fort Rupert where they settled in a drafty one-room log cabin. Dunsmuir went to work in the mines, Joan took in the miners' washing, and they had only rough-hewn cut logs as chairs. They lived in close contact with local aboriginal groups, whose members also worked the mines.
Dunsmuir, according to Rekston, kept his head down and "his mouth shut," earning the trust of his crew managers. He soon negotiated a risky deal to take over a mine that his superiors thought was played out and hired his own Indian crew to work it. The risk paid off, and he struck a vein of coal - black gold.
Over the course of the next decade he worked his family's way out of Fort Rupert, taking more and more risks, borrowing capital and developing mines - and his family, which would eventually include eight daughters and two sons, Alexander and James.
Dunsmuir prospered, eventually negotiating a contract to extend the Canadian Pacific Railway to Vancouver Island, and along with it, a fat land grant that included timber and the coal that lay under the land.
He enjoyed a friendly relationship with Sir John A. MacDonald, also a Scot, and was rumoured to have come close to receiving a knighthood. When Dunsmuir died in 1889, the city of Victoria went into mourning.
His son Alexander would be consigned to the San Francisco offices of Dunsmuir and Sons. His health deteriorated through binge drinking, and he had a long, secret relationship with a divorcee that would end in scandal when the woman's daughter sued the family for a portion of Alexander's estate after his death.
James, the more solid of the two boys, would toil thanklessly for the company under the hand of his mother, Joan, who had inherited the bulk of the estate. He eventually became lieutenant-governor of British Columbia.
Joan spent a good part of her fortune marrying off the eight girls, endowing them with trust funds along the way, and oiling their suitors' interest with lavish parties. One daughter would marry British royalty, another ended in a madhouse, and a few in between suffered through bankruptcies and died early deaths.
"It was rags to riches in one generation, riches to rags in the next three," said Audain. "The family was somewhat sad after that initial success."
Some of the sadness that marked the family, according to Rekston, was connected to alcohol. Robert Dunsmuir was known as "an awful drinker," and his son Alexander also suffered greatly from alcoholism.
James Dunsmuir also had eight daughters - and three sons. Tragically, his favourite son, Boy Dunsmuir, died when the Lusitania went down. His body was never recovered.
The Dunsmuirs' holdings would eventually be divided and sold, their fortunes eroding with each generation. Craigdarroch castle, which was sold after the death of Joan Dunsmuir in 1908, once a symbol of Dunsmuir's achievement, would house Victoria college, and eventually become a museum.
Audain said that although his father "was born with a silver spoon in his mouth," he was not. His inheritance has been rich nonetheless. "I feel a sense of belonging in the province," he said.
When Audain began studying social movements, he learned from labour leaders how "badly despised" the Dunsmuirs were by the unions, but he would also learn that they had very good relations with the Chinese-Canadian community.
Audain, who is committed to collecting and repatriating first nations artwork, is also interested in learning more about the relationship his predecessors had with first nations peoples who lived and worked alongside them.
His father had a favourite tale that illustrated both the cultural differences and care that existed between early settlers and first nations people.
"The Scots had a tradition of 'airing' their children, leaving them outside so their cheeks would get rosy. Joan Dunsmuir had put baby James outside the cabin, and the baby disappeared. All the white men got together a posse and found the baby in a neighbouring native village.
"A native woman was cradling baby James in her arms. She explained that she saw the crying baby had been left alone outside with no one to care for it - something that would never happen in their community. She had picked the baby up to comfort it."

WARSAW A man who was found in a Super 8 motel with a 14-year-old girl is heading to prison for sexual misconduct.
The Stacey Page Online reports that 33-year-old Christopher Allen, Jr. was sentenced to 8 years in prison, but the judge suspended 6 years of the sentence. That means that with good behavior, Allen could be out in as little as one year.

While quickly rifling through the Arts section of the December 2 New York Times, your superior correspondents noted a photograph of old friend, Jaimy Gordon. J. excitedly shouted to P., "Hey it looks like the Times is reviewing Jaimy Gordon's new book." So we turned back to the first Arts page and read the first sentence of the review: "When Jaimy Gordon won the National Book Award for fiction last month . . ." We stopped there and screamed with delight.
Jaimy lived in Providence through most of the '70s. She taught at Brown, worked with the RI Council on the Arts, and occasionally played on the softball team for the legendary Leo's bar. For many of those years, she lived on the third floor of a tenement on Olney Street (Jorge lived on the first floor). She already had a novel under her belt, Shamp of the City-Solo, a wild and magical book. She wins the NBA for fiction for her latest novel, Lord of Misrule. Her voice is unique and inimitable. She deserves this.

Your Say Your Times
The question has now arisen to who actually runs and funds our health care. Is it the NHS, local government, social services, care homes or the doctors? Does the government care or has it tendered it all out to contractors or bidders? You have paperwork and forms and more paperwork and forms. To get a straight answer someone has to ask someone else or find some lost piece of paperwork. To get the basics covered is a major operation and often it is a mess-up. − Andrew Hungerford, North BradleyNHS is in great peril
It was with sadness that I returned from a business trip to find that Warminster Town Council had passed a very divisive policy on the settlement boundaries that will have ramifications to the relationships between the populations of the east and west of the town for a long time. It is surprising that the west, which has the majority of the population and slightly more councillors than the east, continually fails to get a sensible change to the boundaries that at present limit the expansion of the town almost exclusively towards the west. − Jeremy Stadward, WarminsterEnd east-west divide

SANTA CRUZ — A group of Beach Hill neighbors will meet Sunday with city officials to air concerns about the proposed Santa Cruz Warriors facility, the estimated cost of which has grown 20 percent in recent months.
City Manager Martín Bernal said Friday the temporary 30,000-square-foot facility at Front and Spruce streets will now cost at least $5 million — $1 million more than estimated in May — to build in time for the basketball season in December. Costs of the expedited project, first proposed by the Golden State Warriors' Development League team in April, could grow again during construction.
Bernal said necessary design changes, found during the recent building review process, are driving costs upward. One problem, Bernal said, is the site's soil is sandier than first thought, requiring more concrete for the structure.
"That is what is so challenging about this one," Bernal said, adding that information about the cost of construction "is much more accurate from when we first went to council."
Bernal said the cost increases will require upping the city's loan to the Warriors, as well as the team's own investment. He said details still are being worked out before Sept. 11, when the council is expected to finalize the deal, including financial, permitting and environmental aspects that concern neighbors.
The council preliminarily agreed May 22 to loan the Warriors $3.5 million from city investment funds to be repaid over five years. The Warriors agreed to pay $500,000 in capital and equipment costs for the arena, which would contain about 2,700 permanent seats and 150 courtside for the team's 24 home games.
Bernal will recommend the contract be extended to seven years to create more revenue for repaying the loan. The Warriors would construct the facility and operate it the first year, making at least $250,000 in annual loan payments and $133,000 additionally in rent payments after three years.
The team would keep proceeds from ticket sales, but the city will collect an admissions tax and concessions revenue and have the option later to open the facility to UC Santa Cruz sports, concerts or other events that could add about 1,000 floor seats. What hasn't changed is the city's agreement to split the any loan balance with the Warriors after 15 years.
Mayor Don Lane said he is concerned about rising costs, but believes the city is working to protect its investment through the revenue-sharing agreements.
"If they are solid, then I think we can still move ahead," he said.
The city also has yet to finalize terms of a lease agreement with Santa Cruz Seaside Co., which owns the 150-space Front Street lot used by Beach Boardwalk employees. Bernal said the lease costs are not contributing to the project's overall cost increase.
The city's noise study and environmental review are expected soon. The Planning Commission will review the project Sept. 6.
Beach Hill neighbors, who have remained largely quiet about the proposed facility until now, are raising questions about noise, traffic, parking. Although basketball games would take place in the tourism off-season, neighbors are nonetheless concerned about streets jammed with fans on foot and in vehicles, and noise during and after the game.
"It feels unfair — this thing is being developed and has such a great impact on the community but is being done is such a hurry," said Third Street resident Jim Sandoval, who helped organize Sunday meeting with the mayor and city manager. "Everyone who lives on this side of Third Street is directly impacted by the noise."
Although the top of the facility will be made of a fabric membrane, Bernal said the sides now will be made of insulated metal, absorbing some of the sound. But he acknowledged the full impacts of noise may not be known until after the arena is built and games are monitored.
"We haven't ever built a facility like this," he said. "There are not a lot of models to look at."
That's what worries First Street resident Don Webber, whose opposition to the La Bahia Hotel's height and other aspects helped doom that beach-front project. He is concerned not only about the impacts of basketball games, but other kinds of events the city may approve and whether the revenue will materialize.
"This is a publicly financed project, a multimillion-dollar temporary structure that encompasses a basketball court and (seats) for 2,700 people with no additional or dedicated parking, built on a lot that we don't own, nor does the borrower," Webber said.
A city parking study identified more than 2,200 public and private spaces within 1,600 feet of the facility. City officials hope fans will park on the street or in public and private lots downtown, but there is no shuttle planned.
Lane said the city is looking into year-round parking permits for Beach Hill residents, as well as other measures. He said the city also will have a lot of latitude to set noise parameters for nongame events.
Organizers of Sunday's meeting have asked that it be limited to Beach Hill residents. Those interested in attending may contact Beach Hill Neighbors Association president Richard Andrews at email@example.com

After a brief hiatus we're back with all the New Orleans Saints news, rumors and links you can handle to kick off the month of July. Alright, there's not that much going on but we figured you'd still want the latest, as brief as it may be, on your beloved Saints.
Let's take a look.
NOLA.com Says Roman Harper is a Top 15 Player on Team
This will probably be one of the most debated rankings on the list, since many Saints fans weren't happy with Harper even before he had the worst season of his career in 2012. But the return to an attacking, aggressive style under new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan should be a great fit for Harper, who was a two-time Pro Bowl player under former coordinator Gregg Williams' similar scheme.
Harper has always struggled in deep pass coverage — especially in two infamous playoff performances at Seattle and at San Francisco. But during his prime years under Williams, he was arguably the Saints' most dynamic playmaker as a blitzer and open-field tackler. He had 12 sacks and 10 forced fumbles 2009-11. Last year, Harper had zero sacks and zero forced fumbles while being asked to spend more time in zone coverage under coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, which was obviously a bad fit for Harper's skills. But Harper deserves his share of the blame, too. He missed too many tackles and took too many poor angles in the open field. He needs to be a lot more disciplined if he wants to revive his career this year.
ESPN Details Jabari Greer's Thoughts on Team
Per Pat Yasinskas:
New Orleans Saints cornerback Jabari Greer takes over Peter King's "Monday Morning Quarterback" column this week. Greer: "What was not told in the headlines or on the news, however, was the spirit of our men in the locker room," during the Saints' 2012 season.
