Our View: What is downtown's strategy?
Date: May 10, 2012
by: Observer Staff
It's almost dizzying when you think about all that has been transpiring and contemplated for the heart of downtown Sarasota.
• The on-off, in-out carousel ride with parking meters on Main Street.
• The construction of a roundabout at Five Points on Main.
• The seemingly interminable (and poorly timed) construction of roundabouts on Ringling Boulevard at Palm and Pineapple avenues.
• The Palm Avenue parking garage (and whether to charge or keep it free).
• Proposals for a hotel next to the Palm Avenue garage.
• The repaving of Fruitville Road from U.S. 301 to Tamiami Trail.
• When to build and how much should be spent on the parking garage on the State Street parking lot.
• New streetscaping for Main Street from Gulfstream Avenue to Orange Avenue with brick sidewalks, bulb-outs and parallel parking spaces.
• Streetscaping for First Street between Pineapple and Tamiami Trail and along North Palm.
• A roundabout at Main and Orange.
• And to some extent, you can include the new lift station at Osprey and Mound (another seemingly interminable project).
That's a lot.
And from the glass-half-full point of view, perhaps all of this can be viewed as modernizing progress that is upgrading and making downtown Sarasota more vibrant. Indeed, when all of these projects are completed, residents, downtown business owners and visitors may well be pleased with the transformations and think all of the grief endured was worth it.
Of course, that's hard to imagine now, if, say, your business or condominium is at or near the intersections of Ringling and Pineapple and Ringling and Palm. The glass could look more than half empty.
In fact, there is another perspective to all of these downtown projects as you add up the list: What is the end game? What is the overall strategy? What is the master plan?
We hesitate even to bring up the concept of a master plan, largely because of what it suggests — central planning from a central government. Yet it also makes sense that all of the pieces downtown need to fit and work toward the same objective.
That objective, of course, is to create an aesthetically attractive, vibrant and easily accessible shopping, dining and entertainment destination. And, perhaps all of these projects are intended toward that end.
Nonetheless, some of the randomness of these projects brings to mind once again what Dr. Phil Kotler, the pre-eminent marketing expert from Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, advised for Sarasota at an Argus Foundation luncheon recently: Sarasota needs a brand and a distinguishing architectural landmark that helps convey that brand.
Kotler suggested that Sarasota would be wise to model its downtown in look and feel to be more European.
Create an overall strategy, he said.
With that sage advice in mind, and knowing what projects are pending and planned, it is worth broaching again the idea that was accepted for downtown in the early 1960s but never completed. The indefatigable city of Sarasota advocate, Gil Waters, says this is the prime opportunity to close off from cars Main Street from Gulfstream to Orange at certain hours of each day to create a European walkable plaza — lined on Main with retail shops, restaurants, outdoor dining, sidewalk music and kiosks of retail goods similar to those in the malls.
This would fill and justify the parking garages. More important, it would help create that brand; draw more and better merchants; spur storefront redevelopment; generate more tax revenues for the city; and add to our quality of life.

Derry woman Kate Walmsley, 55, hit out after her parish priest, Father Paddy O'Kane, said he would rather go to jail than be break canon law and reveal the secrets of the confessional box.
Father O'Kane, who is parish priest at Holy Family parish in Derry's Ballymagroarty estate, was speaking after the Irish Government's Minister for Justice, Alan Shatter, said he intends to introduce legislation to force priests to break the confessional seal in the interests of child protection.
On Tuesday night an emotional Mrs Walmsley, who says she was abused by a priest in the confessional box while being cared for at Nazareth House in Derry as an eight-year-old, believes the catholic church has failed victims.
"He is putting the interests of the perpetrator first," she said. "Most people believe he should tip off social workers or the police. I feel God didn't make that rule, the church made it but it's now 2011 and times have changed."
Mrs Walmsley gave a harrowing account of her abuse while being cared for by the Sisters of Nazareth in Derry's Bishop Street.
"Every Saturday a nun used to hand me over to a priest," she said. "Even if I was in the middle of a group of children I used to be taken out of the queue and kept to last. The first time this happened, when I was eight, he was putting his hands down my top and down my pants.
"He then started bringing me to a room behind the altar and he would abuse me there."
I just want priests and bishops to accept the facts, they should admit these things happened, come clean and examine their own conscience.Kate Walmsley
I just want priests and bishops to accept the facts, they should admit these things happened, come clean and examine their own conscience.
Kate Walmsley
Mr Walmsley says she was initially angry at Fr O'Kane's remarks.
"I was angry and I didn't know what to do," she said.
"My head was running. The people who go to confessions to confess these things will go back out into the community and think that all is forgiven and do it again.
"I think it's the priests themselves that need to confess openly what they did to us when we were young.
"I suffered a lot of abuse, not just sexually, but emotionally. Then I was in a child's mind and the abuse became a part of my life. It was going to happen every Saturday and I got used to that. But I'm an adult now and I'm reliving it and it's more hurtful now. It's ten times the hurt and I feel like running away somewhere.
"I don't think Fr O'Kane knows what he is talking about because he has never felt hurt the way I hurt."
The Catholic Church has voiced its total opposition to the Irish Government's confession plan.
At the weekend Archbishop of Armagh Cardinal Sean Brady said any intrusion on the sacrament was "a challenge to the very basis of a free society".
Fr O'Kane defended his remarks on Tuesday night.
"Would she expect me to renounce my priesthood?" he said.
"I could not continue to be a priest and I would be excommunicated. Is she calling for priests to abandon their vocation?
"This is not my law, this is the essence of being a priest.
"Do you agree with the right of a solicitor keeping the conversations confidential? It's the same context.
"We are talking here about the rehabilitation of the offender, getting them to change their ways, offering them mercy and offering the person an opportunity to turn over new leaf.
"Quite often abusers have been abused themselves."

Forever Plaid
Forever Plaid: '50s Musical Revue Fuses Humor and Harmonies
Full Price
Our Price
One of the most popular and successful musicals in recent memory, this deliciously goofy revue centers on four young, eager male singers killed in a car crash in the 1950s on the way to their first big concert, and now miraculously revived for the posthumous chance to fulfill their dreams and perform the show that never was. Singing in the closest of harmony, squabbling boyishly over the smallest intonations, and executing their charmingly outlandish choreography with over-zealous precision, the Plaids keep audiences rolling in the aisles -- when they're not humming along to some of the greatest nostalgic pop hits of the '50s.

Biology/Chemistry 475 • Fall 2014
Wednesdays 4:00-5:00 p.m. • SC 204
Coordinator: Dr. Jeff Jankowski (e-mail: email@example.com)
Seminar provides an opportunity for all students majoring in Biology, Biochemistry or Chemistry to gain practical experience in verbally communicating scientific information. All of our students are required to perform original research either as part of a class, an independent study or a summer program. The weekly seminar series is the chance to share that work with our local scientific community.
North Central students are required to register for Seminar three times, which don't need to be consecutive. The first two times you are considered to be a "participant" and will register for zero credits. You may substitute CHM190/BIO290/BIO291 ACCA seminar for one of these two required zero-credit seminars. The third time that you register for Seminar, you will register for one credit and are a "presenter." That is your chance to tell your peers about your work, why it is important and what was learned.
Both participants and presenters should read the Seminar guidelines, which explain the expectations for seminar and how you will be graded. Presenters should also see the presentation tips.

The foundation of this historic city was laid during the reign of the Chalukyan dynasty of Kalyani between the 10th and 11th centuries. They called it VIJAYAPURA or the City of Victory; from which comes its present name Bijapur. Bijapur experienced a great burst of architectural activity under the Adil Shahi dynasty. The Adil Shahis encouraged building activity to such an extent that Bijapur itself has over 50 mosques, more than 20 tombs and a number of palaces. Bijapur is mainly famous for Gol-Gumbaz, Jumma Masjid, Bara Kamaan, Gajanan Temple, Ibrahim Rauza,Taj Bawdi, Mallike-e Maidan, Methar Mahal, Gagan Mahal, Jala Manzil, Upli Buruj, Shivagiri, Siddeshwar Temple etc. More

IU Bloomington faculty members selected as National Humanities Center Fellows
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana University Bloomington faculty members Shannon Gayk and William Newman have been appointed fellows at the National Humanities Center for 2014-15.
They are among 41 fellows from 16 states, Canada, the People's Republic of China, Taiwan and the United Kingdom. Each fellow will work on an individual research project and will have the opportunity to share ideas in seminars, lectures and conferences at the center, an independent institute for advanced study in the humanities located in North Carolina's Research Triangle Park.
Gayk, an associate professor of English in the College of Arts and Sciences, received a Walter Hines Page Fellowship for her project, "Instruments of Christ: The Arma Christi in Early England."
Newman is Distinguished Professor and Ruth N. Halls Professor of History and Philosophy of Science in the College of Arts and Sciences. He was awarded a Birkelund Fellowship for "The Alchemy of Isaac Newton -- A New Appraisal."
"This is a great honor and opportunity for Professors Gayk and Newman, each of whom has made very important contributions to the vital and enduring values of a liberal arts education on the IU Bloomington campus," said John Lucaites, associate dean for arts and humanities and undergraduate education in the College of Arts and Sciences.
"The National Humanities Center is dedicated to promoting excellence in scholarship, strengthening teaching, and enhancing the public understanding of the role of the humanities in contemporary society," Lucaites said. "Professors Gayk and Newman are models of faculty who engage and promote the virtues of humanistic inquiry and understanding. The College is duly proud of the work that each has accomplished in their careers, and we all look forward to seeing what work they will produce in their time as NHC Fellows."
Gayk is a scholar of late-medieval religious writing and culture. She teaches courses in poetry and poetics, eco-criticism and service-learning. Her first book, "Image, Text, and Religious Reform in Fifteenth-Century England," focused on visual art, vernacular literature and the rhetorics of reform.
At the National Humanities Center, she will work on a second academic book, which explores how medieval people understood the uses, powers and meanings of a cluster of passion relics. She is also in the final stages of writing a small book of essays on modern pilgrimages to medieval holy places, supported by the Virginia Project in Lived Theology.
She has co-edited a collection of essays, "Form and Reform: Reading Across the Fifteenth Century," and is completing a special issue of the Journal of Medieval and Early Modern Studies on "The Sacred Object." She is a member of FORMER, a collaborative group of medievalists whose work is committed to the study of literary form and aesthetics.
Newman's recent research has focused on early modern "chymistry" as exemplified by Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, Daniel Sennert and the American scientist George Starkey. His "Chymistry of Isaac Newton" project combines a digital edition of the scientist's alchemical works with tools derived from computational linguistics and laboratory replication of Newton's experiments.
He received the 2013 HIST Award, presented by the American Chemical Society for outstanding achievement in the field of the history of chemistry, and has been awarded fellowships, grants and prizes from a variety of foundations.
His books include "Atoms and Alchemy: Chymistry and the Experimental Origins of the Scientific Revolution," "Promethean Ambitions: Alchemy and the Quest to Perfect Nature" and (with L.M. Principe) "Alchemy Tried in the Fire: Starkey, Boyle and the Fate of Helmontian Chymistry." Newman also wrote "Gehennical Fire," the first biography of George Starkey, otherwise known as Eirenaeus Philalethes.
The 2014-15 National Humanities Center Fellows were chosen from 362 applicants and are scholars in anthropology, art history, classics and archaeology, communications, history, law, literature, political science, philosophy and religion. The center will award a total of $1.6 million in fellowship grants to enable scholars to take leave from their normal academic duties and pursue research.
Since 1978 the center has awarded fellowships to more than 1,300 scholars whose work at the center has resulted in the publication of more than 1,500 books. It also sponsors programs to strengthen the teaching of the humanities in secondary and higher education.News Source : IU Bloomington faculty members selected as National Humanities Center Fellows

There is a better than even chance that no one will ever see these hijackers again:
An attempted airliner hijacking was fought off by passengers in the skies above western China on Friday, and photos of the incident went viral almost immediately on Chinese microblogging service┬ĀSina Weibo.
A passenger onboard took the pictures and sent them to Weibo user┬Āseland, who uploaded them for all the world to see. They seem to show a struggle between the would-be hijackers and passengers aboard the aircraft, who┬Āreportedly┬Āsubdued and restrained the assailants.
Six hijackers attempted to take control of the plane early after takeoff over ChinaŌĆÖs Xinjiang provence, a region with a substantial Uighur population. The aircraft then returned to its departure airport, where the suspects were arrested.
Chinese state media has largely ignored the photos, but theyŌĆÖve spread like wildfire across the Weibo network, which has approximately 300 million users.

Slideshow: 10 dirty little secrets about working in IT
Summary: Jason Hiner spills the beans on the most nefarious aspects of working in IT. From bursting the bubble of newbies to explaining how techies cover their butts, here is the tell-all.
10 of 11Image
A lot of companies could implement more cutting edge stuff than they do. There are plenty of times when upgrading or replacing software or infrastructure can potentially save money and/or increase productivity and profitability. However, it's often the case that one of the largest roadblocks to migrating to new technologies is not budget constraints or management objections; it's the veteran techies in the IT department. Once they have something up and running, they are reluctant to change it. This can be a good thing because their jobs depend on keeping the infrastructure stable, but they also use that as an excuse to not spend the time to learn new things or stretch themselves in new directions. They get lazy, complacent, and self-satisfied.

Another subtle but blameworthy thing that some IT professionals do is select and implement technologies based on how well those technologies make the business dependent on the IT pros to run them, rather than which ones are truly best for the business itself. For example, IT pros might select a solution that requires specialized skills to maintain instead of a more turnkey solution. Or an IT manager might have more of a Linux/UNIX background and so chooses a Linux-based solution over a Windows solution, even though the Windows solution is a better business decision (or, vice versa, a Windows admin might bypass a Linux-based appliance, for example). There are often excuses and justifications given for this type of behavior, but most of them are disingenuous.

All IT pros -- even the very best -- screw things up once in a while. This is a profession where a lot is at stake and the systems that are being managed are complex and often difficult to integrate. However, not all IT pros are good at admitting when they make a mistake. Many of them take advantage of the fact that business managers (and even some high-level technical managers) don't have a good understanding of technology, and so the techies will use jargon to confuse them (and cover up the truth) when explaining why a problem or an outage occurred. For example, to tell a business manager why a financial application went down for three hours, the techie might say, "We had a blue screen of death on the SQL Server that runs that app. Damn Microsoft!" What the techie would fail to mention was that the BSOD was caused by a driver update he applied to the server without first testing it on a staging machine.

Many people misunderstand the true nature of government/vendor relationships
Kelman: Battling for young hearts and minds
I recently got a call from a reporter who was writing a story on reverse auctions. I had advocated eliminating the ban on such auctions when I was in government, and I serve on the board of advisers for FedBid, which sells reverse auction services. "Don't reverse auctions create an adversarial relationship between government and industry by increasing pricing pressure on vendors?" the reporter asked.
I responded by saying there's no greater advocate of cooperation between agencies and contractors than me, but cooperation doesn't mean lying down and playing dead. Industry doesn't interpret cooperation that way, and the government shouldn't either.
The reporter's question revealed a common misunderstanding about the nature of interactions between government customers and industry, and it is shared by many people with otherwise opposing views about contracting. In a classic book, "The Manager as Negotiator," David Lax and James Sebenius argue that every negotiation has elements of creating value and claiming value.
Negotiation can create value by making both parties better off than they would have been without that relationship. Creating value is possible because each party to the negotiation usually has different preferences. A customer might value speedy delivery and a vendor can provide it inexpensively. Likewise, a customer might not value certain bells and whistles that are relatively expensive for the vendor to provide.
In this example, a deal specifying speedy delivery and no bells and whistles creates value compared with the alternative in which the vendor delays delivery but provides the bells and whistles.
Here is another example: If government is clear and consistent about its requirements, it creates value by getting what it wants faster and cheaper — and saves the vendor money and aggravation.
A trusting relationship creates value by making it easier to share information across organizational boundaries. Studies show that trustful relationships increase the odds that a project or program will be successful.
Good vendor performance creates value by satisfying government and enabling the vendor to build a good track record. Creating value is what people mean when they talk about a win-win relationship.
But contract negotiations also involve dividing up the pie, or claiming value. Speedy delivery with no bells and whistles might be better than the alternative. But once the parties agree on that value, they still need to settle on a price.
Many people, including some journalists and politicians, view government/vendor relationships solely on the basis of claiming value. If the vendor makes money, the government must have lost.
In the old days, contracting officials often seemed to think it was better for a contract to fail than for a contractor to make too much profit. That dysfunctional attitude explains the current opposition to share-in-savings contracting.
In addition to creating value, the government/vendor relationship involves claiming value. The government can't play dead here. Vendors certainly don't.
As Lax and Sebenius wrote, claiming value often complicates efforts to create value in the first place by inhibiting trust and information sharing. Managing that challenge is what good contracting is all about.

Duluth, MN (NNCNOW.com)
"I like working outdoors in the environment and helping people." said BM1 James Guiffre several years ago.
Just over a decade ago, James Guiffre was a boatswain's mate working outdoors in the chilly environment of the Coast Guard Cutter Sundew.
On Monday, the now retired Coasty stepped foot on the deck of the Cutter Alder; this time as a teacher from Saint Rose School in Proctor.
He was there to tell the kids about the role of the cutter from aiding commerce to protecting the environment.
"It is a very critical mission of the Coast Guard to protect the environment and to respond to any disaster such as an oil spill." said Guiffre.
On Lake Superior, the Alder is the first line of defense should spilled oil threaten the lake's clean water and pristine beauty.
"We can deploy our SORS gear, our spilled oil recovery system." said LCDR Tony Maffia, Captain of the Alder.
The SORS gear is stored in the forward hold and the crew of the Alder trains with it at least once a year.
"We can deploy hydraulically actuated skimmers which floats inside a containment boom. We can deploy it off either side of the ship and use that to skim any oil off the surface of the water."
During 2010, Coast Guard oil skimmers deployed to the Gulf of Mexico for the Deepwater Horizon disaster.
It is estimated that SORS systems cleaned up 3 percent of the nearly five million barrels of spilled oil.
Other methods took care of the rest.
The Alder's skipper is proud of the role his branch of service takes in protecting the environment.
"That's why I joined the Coast Guard, to give back to the nation and community." said Maffia.
The kids from Saint Rose School were glad to hear the Alder has never needed to use its oil skimming gear; a sign that we take care of our lake.
In Duluth for Nature Matters, Dave Anderson, KBJR 6 and Range 11.
The Coast Guard reminds those who love the Northland's waters to report all oil spills to the authorities, no matter how small.

Publisher's Description
One of the first police officers at the scene is Detective Inspector Ben Shorter, Faith's former boyfriend. They had been inseparable until Faith's sense of calling led her to question his drive for convictions, seemingly at any cost.
At the Bishop's urging, Faith stays on to look after the parish. As she meets her parishioners she learns some surprising details about her apparently well-loved predecessor, and starts to suspect a motive for his death. How will she reconcile her present calling with her past instincts? Is she in danger herself? What should she do about her feelings for Ben? Then a further horrifying event deepens the mystery . . .
Ockley's vivid description of the English countryside and quaint characters masterfully sets the stage for the intrigue of small-town murder. In the wake of the priests death, Faith is reunited with Ben, her ex-boyfriend who is the policeman in charge of the murder investigation. Their past relationship and unfortunate break-up confuse Faith's allegiances as she attempts both to aid in the investigation and take charge of the un-shepherded congregation.
Faith is a policewoman turned clergywoman after a career in law enforcement left her disillusioned and searching for redemption and healing. Her ex-boyfriend, Ben, does not respect her choice to leave the force to pursue her religion. He takes every opportunity to criticize Faith and her actions, yet gladly welcomes her help in the investigation. Faith struggles to find her place in the small community and in the church. Many Christians can relate to the doubt Faith experiences in her time of transition. Likewise, we can be comforted by the words from Romans 8:28: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
The book ends with a true twist, though the action leading to the climax is slow. Layers of allegiances and past love could have been energized better to engage the audience. Whereas Faith's character asks some vital questions and some good answers are given, at the end of the book I wasn't left with any deep impressions. For those who enjoy mystery but not too many thrills, this may be a good story. Emily Simmons, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com

Printing and Publishing APIs
Posted on 09-13-2011
As the API Evangelist for Mimeo, I spend a lot of time looking for other print related APIs. I spent some time today to update my list, and here what I found:
- Enthusem API - Provides card printing services.
- Google Cloud Print - Enables printing to any cloud-connected printer.
- Lulu Publishing API - Provides book publishing services.
- Mimeo Connect Cloud Print API - Provides printing of common business documents like bound, single sheet, poster, cards, binders and booklets.
- Mimeo Card Printing API - Provides card printing services.
- Mimeo Flyer & Brochure Printing API - Provides flyers and brochure printing.
- Mimeo Spiral Notebook Printing API - Provides spiral notebook printing services.
- Mimeo Poster Printing API - Provides poster printing services.
- Moo.com - Provides printing of MiniCards, StickerBooks, Postcards, Business Cards and Greeting Cards.
- Newspaper Club API - Provides access to a layout tool created for building classic looking newspapers designed for print.
- PicWing - Provides photo printing services.
- Snapfish Publisher - Provides photo printing Services.
- SharedBook API - Provides book building and publishing services.
- Shutterfly - Provides photo printing services.
- ZetaPrints - Provides web-to-print services for many document types.
Let's take inventory of what types of printing services are available. First Google provides a web-based framework for registering, access and printing to any web-enabled printer. And The Newspaper Club API provides newspaper layout tools. Those really are print related, but not necessary produce print as a final product.
When it comes to actual printing, there are an assortment of business documents including books, binders, newsletters, booklets, cards, spiral notebook.
Some big name photo printing services, and nice high end minicards, stickerBooks, postercards, business and greeting cards with Moo.com.
If you know of any other print or publishing APIs I should add to the list, let me know.

GNU Screen is one of the most useful utilities you can have at your disposal if you spend any time at all working at the command line. Screen allows you to manage multiple shell sessions from one terminal window or console, view multiple shell sessions at the same time, and even log into the same session from more than one location at a time.
Moving files, music and pictures from your cell phone to your netbook is useful for most busy people.
With eeeBuntu on the Asus Netbook, this capability is available through the on-board Bluetooth radio. It's theoretically possible to transfer files and browse the directories on most Bluetooth-equipped phones. Today, we'll look at how some of the features work and explore some of the quirks of using Bluetooth that might trip you up.

We have a product that runs currently on a 32 bit 1.6 JRE. We're using Berkeley DB which consumes about 2.5 GB RAM of the 4 GB address space. That leaves us about 750 MB of memory for the JVM address space.
We're currently hitting OutOfMemory issues with the current setup. It would be nice to increase our JVM heap size to 1.5 GB while still retaining Berkeley DB's 2.5 GB space. Is there any way to access more than 4 GB RAM/heap in a 32-bit JVM ? I've considering the following solutions
1) use a JVM which does better GC -- this will give me marginal results -- I could get about 50-100 MB working memory
2) something like memcached or "out of process ehcache " -- this can get me as much as the hardware allows with the overhead of IPC/serialization.
Are there other solutions to increasing an application's addressable memory ?
The solution should work on solaris 10 running sparc.
*UPDATE : Because of using native shared libraries, right now, we're unable to switch to a 64-bit JVM even though the OS is 64-bit *
thank you,

Top 10 business laptops
These laptops have the rugged design, connectivity options, and manageability features business users demand
As any experienced traveling professional can tell you, not all laptops are created equal. Most designs are fine for consumer use, but business users have their own demands that need to be met. Laptops need to be able to survive all the bumps, scrapes, and jostling that comes with life on the road; they need to offer plenty of online connectivity options so that workers can plug in wherever they are; and they need to emphasize actual business use -- for tasks such as word processing and data manipulation -- over flourishes like music management and extra graphics processing power. If you need to be able to take your work with you wherever you go, give these machines a look.
