Darren McC= arthy, Recreation Director
Online Regist= ration Software – Mr. McCarthy said he contacted and received a quote fr= om a company that sells an on-line system for registration (and other recreation management). The system will = help offset labor costs in the department. Mr. McCarthy said the company would be available to meet with the Selectmen to discuss the system further.&n= bsp; The company will tailor the program to the current and future needs = of the Town. It will help with acceptance of payment via credit card as well as information regarding available programs (through link to Pelham web).
Mr. Gleason asked if the (approx.) $18,000 for implementation was contained in the budget for this year, or if it was anticipated to have the program implemented next year. Mr. McCarthy said the funds were n= ot in this year's budget. He = said he was reviewing different sources for the funds. Mr. Gleason asked what efficiencie= s the system would have and if a cost (payback) analysis had been done. Mr. McCarthy said it hadn't = been done yet, but would work on it. Mr. Danevich noted the paybacks from the Assessing computer system and was hope= ful that the proposed system (for Park & Rec.) would offer similar results. He believed there wo= uld be a direct labor benefit as well as a direct benefit to residents.
Mr. Gleason questioned how computer-illiterate people = would be handled since they may still require services. Mr. McCarthy said they would proba= bly be handled the way they currently were; paying by check through registration in person or by mail.
Mr. Gleason asked if there were any other companies th= at had a similar system so the proposed costs could be validated. Mr. McCarthy said he was in the pr= ocess of reviewing other companies but found that they didn't offer the specific services/modules as the company being proposed. Mr. Gleason wanted to ensure that = the costs were compatible and they have a proven track record. Mr. McCarthy said he would be atte= nding a conference (with regional recreation directors) and would request seek feedback. Mr. Gleason said he= was in favor of the program and felt it would provide a significant service to = the Town.
Mr. Gaydos said the plan the Auditor suggested, for th= ose who didn't want to use their credit card or who didn't have a computer, was to make payment at the Town Clerk office and take a receipt to the Park & Recreational office.
Mr. Bergeron asked if the company would provide a refe= rence list. Mr. McCarthy said he wo= uld ask for a list.
Mr. Danevich said Muni-Soft was looking into releasing= a park & recreation module, but would not be ready until June/July and mo= st of the features being reviewed, would not be included in the first release. Mr. Gleason asked if= there was any need for an interface with the proposed system and Muni-Soft. Mr. Gaydos said the interface woul= d be through the Town Clerk department in connection with acceptance of payment. There was a brief discussion regarding centralizing the process for accepting payments.
There was a consensus by the Selectmen that Mr. McCart= hy was going in the right direction; there was no authorization for expenditure of= money. The Selectmen will set an agenda i= tem to meet with the company.
= o:p>
Mr. McCarthy circulated three quotes for fencing (arou= nd entire park, around skate park and between the Police Station and the library). He said the top two problems occurring were the trash and the lack of helmet use.
The Selectmen discussed if they would consider closing= the park. Mr. Gleason was in favo= r of closing the park in thirty days if the conduct and care at the park hadn't improved. Mr. Do= menico believed the park should be closed now.&nb= sp; He felt a clear message should be sent that certain abuses would not= be tolerated. Mr. Lynde question= ed how the park could be closed and people prevented from using it. He suggested dismantling the skate= park equipment. He said the park couldn't be closed because there were other programs that used it and took care of it. Mr. McCarthy= said if the park was closed it would be closed to all non-organized activities (e.g. Little League, Tot Soccer, St. Patrick's softball). Mr. Lynde questioned how the closu= re would be enforced. Mr. Domeni= co said the advantage was the proximity of the park to the Police Department.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> Mr. Lynde asked if the use of the = park (which accepted grant money) could be restricted. Mr. Danevich answered yes.
Mr. Bergeron supported closing the park. He asked if there was a sign infor= ming that helmets had to be worn. = Mr. McCarthy answered yes.
Mr. Gleason suggested closing the park at night until = the conditions improved; a second step was to close the park completely. He believed if the park was closed= by order of the Selectmen then the Police would have the authority to enforce such. Mr. Gaydos said if the Selectmen gave Mr. McCarthy the authority to close the park, the Police wou= ld be able to do something about trespassing.= He said they couldn't do anything about people not wearing helmets. He said the focus wa= s to try and make the park self-policing.
Mr. Danevich supported closing the park as soon as pos= sible if the behavior didn't change. He said he tried to go to the park each day after-school to observe. He said if corrective action was not taken by the children using the park it would be closed. He noted there were seventy-two ch= ildren using the park earlier in the evening and he had the opportunity to speak w= ith them regarding the possibility of closure.= He said all of the children said they wanted to try and fix the problem. He trusted that they= would take corrective action; if not the park will be closed.
Mr. Danevich said he asked Mr. McCarthy to draft a sign
(which was circulated to the Selectmen) in the event the Selectmen allowed
30-days for corrective action. He
asked if the Selectmen were receptive to allowing 30-days. There was further discussion; Mr.
McCarthy said his original recommendation was to revisit the issue
Mr. Domenico stepped out of the room to accept a busin= ess call.
Mr. McCarthy wanted the Town to consider fencing in the Police area because of its sensitivity.&nb= sp; The Selectmen discussed the fencing options. Police Evan Haglund discussed whic= h area fencing was being recommended for and where it should be installed. He said the fencing would be ident= ical to that being used in the parking area.&nb= sp; The cost for fencing the area would be $3400. Mr. Lynde didn't want access= (from the Library to the skate park) impeded.&nb= sp; Chief Haglund said the pathway from the Library to the skate park wouldn't be restricted; the restriction would be individuals walking = into the area where the cruisers were located.&= nbsp; He said there was a major concern with children coming from the fron= t of the building into the parking lot as well as coming from the park down the driveway ramp into the parking lot because there were blind areas where cruisers access.
Mr. Gleason questioned where the expenditure would com= e from (Park & Recreation or Police). Mr. Gaydos said the budget would have to be reviewed; generally the first place to look would be in the Town Budget for repairs and improvement. The Selectmen discussed the situation further and made the following motion.
Mr. Gleason made a motion to authorize the expenditure= of $3400 for fencing; Mr. Bergeron seconded, but wanted to make sure that the funds were available. Mr. Gay= dos said the funds were available; it was just a question of what would be deferred. He asked that the P= olice Chief oversee the work to make sure that his criteria was met. Mr. Lynde said he would vote again= st the motion because Town property would be fenced off. Mr. Gleason felt it was incumbent = on the Selectmen to take action because the Police Chief had identified a safety situation.
(Gleason/Bergeron) To authorize the expenditure of $= 3400 to affect a gate and fence between the Police Department and the parking = area to impede foot traffic.

Ms. Fillis outli= ned the process taken to compose the plan.
Mr. Lynde said the plan appeared to address the Town= 8217;s needs.
Mr. Gleason questioned who would implement impact fees= . Mr. McCarthy said he was working w= ith Planning Director Jeff Gowan for the specific implementation of the impact fees. Mr. Gleason asked if th= e Town had received any impact fees. Mr. McCarthy answered no. Mr. Dan= evich said the plan had to be accepted as an official document then it needed to = go through the public hearing process. After the plan is accepted, impact fees could then be collected.
Mr. Lynde asked if amending/updating the plan would be= an easy process. Ms. Fillis said= the plan could be revisited periodically through a public hearing process.
Ms. Roseanne Puddister questioned how many people took= part in the survey and how it was implemented/distributed. Ms. Fillis said the adult survey w= as available on the Park & Recreation website and could be filled out and handed back in. At the moment= , she didn't know how many people participated. She said the NRPC survey had fewer responses due to the short time it was available.
Mr. Gleason urged residents to read the plan because it contained a lot of interesting information. Mr. Bergeron also supported the pl= an, given the fact that the plan was a working document.

Mr. Gleason asked if it was the intent to have (2 full regulation soccer) fields implemented by this fall and ready for utilization next year.

Mr. McCarthy s= aid the Boy Scouts would assist in creating the remaining trails; the first pha= se will be completed by the fall.
Mr. Lynde understood the process and was pleased with = the current speed. He noted that = there was no request for money; funding came from grants and donations.

It appears that, contrary to what I reported two days ago, Ashton Lundeby is not being held under the USA PATRIOT act.
Earlier today, a memo marked "Not for distribution outside law enforcement" was circulated among officials in Indiana — where Ashton is being held at the Thomas N. Frederick Juvenile Justice Center in South Bend. The memo complained of hostile publicity given to the case inspired by what were described as "false claims" from Ashton's mother, Annette Lundeby, about the use of the PATRIOT act in the arrest and detention of her son.
Those claims led the office of US Attorney David Capp to issue a press release today insisting that the arrest and detention of Ashton Lundeby "is unrelated to the PATRIOT act."
"The juvenile has appeared in court on three occasions, once in North Carolina for an initial hearing and a detention hearing, and twice in Indiana for a continued initial hearing and a status hearing," the press release relates. "At each hearing, the juvenile was represented by counsel…. The juvenile is presently housed in a juvenile facility in the Northern District of Indiana where he does not have contact with adult offenders. His mother has been apprised of each court appearance and has attended the hearing in North Carolina; she did not appear at either of the hearings in Indiana."
As the press release notes, Annette Lundeby was present during the initial hearing in North Carolina, and until today she was the only source available to describe the details of her son's arrest and the terms of his detention. In interviews I conducted with her both on May 5 and 6, Mrs. Lundeby insisted that the PATRIOT act was invoked by the Feds in this case.
I reported her claims in good faith, buttressed by the assessment presented in the WRAL report from former U.S. Attorney Dan Boyce, as well as the fact — noted in the essay published on LRC two days ago — that the PATRIOT act's definition of "domestic terrorism" has been used in at least one other case involving a juvenile accused of a serious crime.
In updates to the original story, I relate that a source close to the prosecution (not directly involved in the prosecution, but with detailed, first-hand knowledge of it) insists that the case against Ashton is strong enough that the use of such extraordinary measures would not be necessary.
Title 18, Section 844 (e) of the US Code makes it a felony punishable by a prison term of up to 10 years to make a bomb threat, either real or bogus, using "the mail, telephone, telegraph, or other instrument of interstate commerce…." That provision would explain the involvement of the FBI in a suspected bomb threat made from North Carolina against Purdue University in Indiana. Whatever the wisdom of that statute, its existence would appear to make use of the PATRIOT act gratuituous. This doesn't mean that the Feds didn't take the easy route, as Mrs. Lundeby claims, of course. But it does mean that if Ashton was involved in making bomb threats, he bought himself more trouble than he expected.
Expect a follow-up on all of this later today on Pro Libertate.2:08 pm on May 7, 2009 Email William Norman Grigg

Fine Arts eCademy (K-9)
Harness your child's innate passion for learning
A first for the Comox Valley and perhaps all of BC, the Fine Arts eCademy at Navigate uses the arts as a vehicle through which the entire BC curriculum is delivered. This innovative blended learning program will harness your child's creative passion to accelerate learning across all subject areas.
Imagine, for example, that your child is learning about the hydrological cycle. Rather than simply read science books and perhaps write an essay, your child might paint a mural, act out a skit, or even create a website or blog.
By engaging your child's inherent passion for learning, the Fine Arts Academy encourages learning in a way that develops creative thought, independence and critical thinking.
The Fine Arts eCademy blended learning program starts in September and is open to any K-8 student, regardless of educational background or fine arts experience. Students receive three days a week of classroom instruction in the Comox Valley blended with two days of distributed (distance) learning from home.
This unique blended learning program is fully accredited by the BC Ministry of Education and offers an alternative educational stream to traditional bricks and mortar schooling.
Why should I consider the Fine Arts eCademy for my child?
Like our eCademy of New Technology, Engineering and Robotics (ENTER), the Fine Arts eCademy is based on 21st Century Learning Theory. This growing pedagogical movement embraces the idea that every child is unique and learns in his or her own way.
The traditional educational model of factory-injected curricula isn't necessarily conducive to long-term learning or critical thinking. Navigate's blended learning programs are designed to leverage our students' passions and develop highly intelligent learners with the cognitive skills to become highly successful adults.
Register today or call 250.337.5300 to find out more.

Navigate provides distance learning opportunities to over 3000 learners across Vancouver Island and throughout BC. For more information about flexible online learning options, adult education, or cross enrollment with BC high schools, please contact us!

SweetFM Review: A Not so Sweet iTunes Helper
The iTunes helper application has become a very popular class of application to develop for. Most developers, like the people behind CoverSutra and Bowtie, have been very successful in their attempts. But unfortunately it was only inevitable that a not so well designed one came along. I'm talking about SweetFM from choco moko.

Safari 4 Beta Preview: A New Compass
The install process of Safari 4 was smooth with the only hiccups being the requirement of the latest security update and the Windows-esque reboot at finish. Upon first opening the app you are greeted with a very Apple looking 'video', which according to the Twitterverse, was done almost entirely using CSS and images. Once completed, you are dumped onto the new 'Top Sites' feature, it is a very Matrix looking method of looking at the sites you visit most, with screenshots of each individual site.

If you're an XM or Sirius satellite radio subscriber, you have probably been looking high and low for an app that would allow you to listen to your favorite stations on your iPhone. The app is uSirius Starplayr and it comes from the guys at NiceMac.
At the first launch of Starplayr, you are prompted to fill in your XM or Sirius login information and asked whether or not you would like to use a higher quality bitrate (64kbps) when using wifi, the default bitrate is 32kbps.
The Hit List Preview: Get Your Tasks Done
Today in the Mac applications world their are dozens of applications to help you keep track of your to-dos and get things done. I have tried several of these apps, but I don't believe any of them work as well or feel as good as Potion Factory's The Hit List Beta.
Preview: iWork '09, A Quick Look
As nearly every reader of this site probably knows, Apple has released the next iteration of it's productivity suite, iWork. With this iteration, Apple has added some polish as well as some brand new features. If you are unfamiliar with iWork, it is made up of 3 applications: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
Pages, the word processor of the bunch, gained features such as full screen, outline view, as well as more templates. Apple has also made it easier for it's scientific crowd to add in equations from MathType and bibliographies from Endnote. The developers also noticed that many users were taking graphs and tables from Numbers and placing them into documents, so they streamlined the process and now the entire iWork suite of apps work very well together.


text: 3 What's your idea of a good game?Shivaram | 09/08/2008 | See all Shivaram's reviews (5)OK, first of, this game was rushed and lacks detail, depth and all thats need for a good game. However, I am not saying this is a bad game, infact it was quite enjoyable.Whether you like smashing everything you see, toying with your enemies and flying through an easy storymode is upto you but I just felt that they had missed a good opportunity. Right from the word go you can see that the graphics are shabby, speech is repetitive and hazy and the effects leave a lot to be desired.The storymode is basic and set on one difficulty level, it leaves you running from place to place doing various jobs that all amount to destroying and protecting. Many of the sparse and short movies are unrealistic and sometimes move the storyline in opposite directions.Although it is poorly done, the feeling of smashing things up is incredible and is outstandingly fun to do. The missions although bad (rubbish) are actually quite entertaining.The game all in all, is alright and may be for some people however sega still have a long way to go for this game to be the next hit.

Tax Refund Options
File Online
What's Trending
WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today announced a
sweeping office space and rent reduction initiative that over the next 2 years
will close 43 smaller offices and reduce space in many larger facilities. These
measures will save more than 40 million in taxpayer dollars. Coupled with space
reductions last year, the initiative will slash total IRS office space by more
than one million square feet."Given today's tight budget environment, we have to be willing to make the
tough but responsible calls to save taxpayer dollars," said IRS Commissioner
Doug Shulman. "Cutting and consolidating our real estate is a responsible
way we can save money. It's an important addition to our growing portfolio of
cost-saving measures."
To ensure that the agency uses rental space as efficiently and effectively as
possible, the IRS will:
None of the offices being closed under this initiative are walk-in
taxpayer assistance centers. Because of the nature of the work performed in
these offices, the IRS anticipates minimal taxpayer impact as a result of these
This cost-cutting initiative is projected to save $17.2 million in
annual rental costs in fiscal 2012 and $23.5 million in fiscal 2013. These are
permanent reductions in space and rent so these savings will be realized in
future years as well.
The initiative will cut space by 715,000 square feet in fiscal
2012 and 230,000 square feet in fiscal 2013. This is on top of a
105,000-square-foot reduction in fiscal 2011.
The IRS has more than 650 offices around the country. Today's
initiative supplements space saving projects over the past seven years that are
now yielding $70 million annually in rental savings . This is part of a broader
Administration effort which has cut government real estate costs by over $1.5
billion and is on track to exceed the President's directive to save $3 billion
by the end of the year.
Author's Note: I almost fainted when I
read this for the first time. I had
never seen the IRS voluntarily reduce anything before. Kudos to them for strapping down in these
tough times, maybe they are human after all?
Do you need your taxes to be
reduced? Come on by our office and we
will see what we can do to help!

Twice Today
Alright so I'm back to write. I open at work tomorrow. Dammit Alli never called me back, which pisses me off lol b/c I needed to know if she could help me out or not.I drank a Kamakazi tonite, well two actually because mine broke (hahaha) and Jacob didn't like his. The bottom fell out of my damn drink! I chugged down Jacob's, its funny, its like the only time I see Jacob now is so he can buy me alcohol lol. I mean I haven't seen him in forever and he walks in the door and I'm like hey buy me a drink at Frosty Factory lol.Ugh I had alot more to say earlier. I think its really funny when people tell you to call them back and you do 5 minutes later, and they fell asleep. I need to get this person to wake up though b/c they stole their parents cell phone, and their dad will beat em if they get caught..literally.My hands smell like shit b/c I had to clean up the big mess after my damn cup broke. I think Patchy's detergent is gross or something b/c all of her towels smell like mildew. Great. I need to go make Heather do her Algebra homework, but she is on the phone with Meeeeegan. I think they have something going on. They are more affectionate than me and Jessica were, and you know what that was about haha. I need to do my stat but I don't feel like it. I think I'm slacking b/c I know I have a long time to play catch up or something.Anyways, I had so much more to say earlier but of course I got distracted. I didn't go to Abs of Steel today so I feel like crap haha. Love is a strange thing, you feel like you are going to get in trouble with a parent or something if you do anything wrong. I feel like a little kid if I'm doing something I know they are going to get mad at. Oh there is a hottie that lives by me. I don't know his name but I worked out with him during the summer. He invited me over there and I think I might know his roommates so I might stop by for a little bit. Yeah that sounds bad, talking about love one minute and then the next minute talking about some hot guy, but I think its a fun tease haha. It proves to me that the person still cares if they are like "no don't go over there." Which is good, because even though I think I'm in love and stuff, I still have my usual guard up. I don't think anyone can ever break down that shield.Did I mention that I think my mom might be a lesbian? I hate how her and Laurie talk about me, so right now they can kiss my ass. Ugh

Child Care Resources
Developmentally Appropriate Care: What Does It Mean?
The term developmentally appropriate care is commonly used by child care professionals to describe care that takes into account the level of physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development of a child.
While there is no one right way to care for children, there are guidelines that focus on how a child develops and the care that is appropriate at various stages. These guidelines help both child care providers and parents understand ways to care for children while helping them develop positive self-esteem.
The following guidelines have been developed by early childhood and child care professionals. These guidelines focus on the idea of developmental appropriateness which is defined in two parts: age appropriateness or the universal, predictable sequences of growth and change that occur in children as they go through their early years of life; and individual appropriateness or the unique growth sequence of each child with their own pattern and timing, as well as individual personality, learning style, and family background experiences.
Developmentally Appropriate Care for Infants and Toddlers
Infants and toddlers learn by experiencing the environment — by seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, feeling, and by physically moving around. They learn a sense of trust through interaction with consistent, caring adults.
Adults not only meet physical needs but spend time holding, playing, and talking with the infant. The adult helps the infant learn by pointing out things to look at, touch, and hear.
Toileting, feeding, and dressing are taught without criticism and provide opportunities to let the child do for themselves. Homes and centers are "child-proofed" to allow the child safe exploration.
For two-year-olds, simple books, pictures, puzzles, and music are provided. Time and space for jumping, running, and dancing are arranged. Language skills are encouraged by describing to the child what the child is doing, repeating new words, and reading aloud. Adults know that children in this age group cannot understand the idea of sharing.
Developmentally Appropriate Care for Three-, Four- and Five-Year-Olds
Three-year-olds are provided with learning activities that emphasize language, large motor physical activity, and movement. Activities include puzzles and blocks, wheel toys and climbers, dramatic play acting and story telling.
Four-year-olds enjoy a greater variety of experiences and more activities like cutting paper and fabric, other art activities and cooking. They can recognize shapes, colors, and use basic math and problem-solving skills.
Some four-year-olds and most five-year-olds combine ideas, have a growing memory and are developing fine motor skills. They display a growing interest in the written language. They are developing an interest in the community and enjoy special events and trips.
Adults listen, encourage creative play, join in activities, build self-esteem, and set consistent limits.
Developmentally Appropriate Equipment and Space Guidelines
Infants benefit from the following equipment: crib, play yard, infant seat, high chair, waterproof mattress, and changing table. Infants need colorful pictures, objects they can grab and hit (such as crib gyms), and soft objects they can learn to pick up. Older infants need safe space for rolling, sitting, and crawling.
Toddlers use the same things as infants plus they need safe crawl space and room when taking those first steps. Most toddlers play alone. Look for easy ways for them to move from one space to another.
Toddlers love to explore. Good toys at this age are containers filled with blocks, pull toys, and stacking containers.
Preschoolers need more space. Play spaces should be varied. In addition, they need active as well as quiet spaces. They should also have a place to store personal items. A child-size toilet or potty chair and a way to wash their own hands are also helpful. They work both individually and in small groups and are beginning to like to be in larger groups too.
Preschoolers need a variety of toys for play. Art materials, puzzles, toys that produce sounds, and tricycles are typical equipment for this age.
Developmentally Appropriate Care to Prepare Your Child for School
Some child care centers and family child care homes promote teaching your child skills that prepare them for school. While early academic learning gives children skills, there is little evidence that children show long-term benefits in school performance. Some research shows that too much emphasis on structured learning at an early age causes children to be less interested in school.
There are, however, a number of non-academic skills your child can develop both at home and in child care to prepare them for school. These include the following:
- Observing or the ability to notice specific things in nature and to understand what other people are doing.
- Listening, knowing what sounds mean, and being able to repeat sounds.
- Following directions in order to accomplish simple tasks and knowing left from right.
- Classifying and sorting items by shape, color, size, etc. and the ability to tell you why objects are similar or different.
- Remembering and telling you about recent activities and being able to play games that require memory skills.
- Creating and playing pretend games; feeling comfortable with doing things differently from other children.
- Cooperating and understanding how to work with others without being overly competitive.
General Features of Developmentally Appropriate Care
Child care providers that practice developmentally appropriate care have the following list of characteristics. They:
- Are patient and supportive with children.
- Promote creativity, discovery, and exploration.
- Encourage children to take initiative in selecting activities.
- Understand the individual capabilities of children.
- Interact with the children by talking to them as well as listening to what they have to say.
- Allow children to do things for themselves.
- Offer choices of activities and materials.
- Set and enforce reasonable limits.
- Are willing to use different methods of care to meet each child's abilities and needs.

The FCPA is emblematic of the serious problem of overcriminalization. While it seeks to prevent and redress serious misconduct, its language and application have led to unintended consequences. Many organizations, from both the left and the right, are now calling for some much-needed commonsense reform of the statute, particularly reforms that will strengthen its mens rea requirements and bring clarity, uniformity and fairness to its enforcement.

Finally a vampire movie we can sink our teeth into (um… sorry!). The antidote to doe-eyed teenage vamps snogging each other, Daybreakers puts the vampire genre right back where it ought to be: replete with fangs, blood, viscera and scares. Set ten short years into the future when 95% of the population has succumbed to a vampire virus, the remaining human population are captured and placed into blood farms. In an astonishingly inexplicable oversight, the lack of any active breeding programme means that human livestock numbers are dwindling and so too then are the corresponding vamp snacks. Enter Edward Dalton (Ethan Hawke), haematologist and reluctant jugular sucker who's frantically attempting to develop a blood substitute.
There's a lot of fun to be had with Daybreakers on the proviso that you can overlook its many logical flaws, of which the most glaringly obvious one is the above mentioned lack of a human breeding (or cloning) programme. And there are a number of lesser inconsistencies too such as how can a viral (i.e. pathological) infection imbue the inflicted individual with invisible (i.e. supernatural) reflections? But what the film lacks in feasible detail it makes up for in unique and interesting ideas. This was the strength of Undead and it is also the strength here.
Despite its international cast and sizeable budget, the Spierigs maintain a distinctively Australian flavour, mixing the international star power of Ethan Hawke, Sam Neill and Willem Dafoe with local talent such as Claudia Karvan, Vince Collosimo and Playschool presenter, Jay Laga'aia. And you can put the steering columns on the left hand side but there's no mistaking those indubitable Aussie landscapes.
Performances by all are on par, no more no less, but this is entirely commensurate with this kind of film - this is hardly Kramer vs Kramer. After a promising start, the all important splatter does dry up a bit but it's back on form by the time the finale rolls around; and there is an anti-corporation subtext running throughout but importantly it never dominates the action or vampire lore.
Daybreakers is that one step closer to greatness from the work they did with Undead but the Spierigs have a few steps yet to take. Still, there are sufficient commendable attributes on display here to hold us over until their next production - let's hope we don't have to wait another seven years.

WPD: Driver who hit 2-year-old won't be charged; neither will parents
Wilmington police won't file charges against the driver whose car hit a 2-year-old boy Thursday night, or the child's parents.
Police say the boy was trying to follow his father to the store when he ran out into traffic in the 15 hundred block of West 4th Street around 6:40.
A westbound car hit the boy, who suffered cuts to his head and legs.
West 4th Street was closed between North DuPont Street and Delamore Place for more than an hour afterward.
The 52-year-old driver stayed at the accident scene and cooperated with police, who say the boy should be released Thursday night from AI DuPont Hospital for Children.

How to get to Convento do Espinheiro: When coming from Lisbon, take the Vasco da Gama Bridge which will take you onto the A2 highway. From there, turn onto the A6 highway and leave the highway at the 2nd exit to Évora. Turn right about 8 km ahead, turn right at the indication of " Convento do Espinheiro", "Hotel"
GPS- 38º. 36`. 3" N / 7º . 53`. 18" W / 278 m.
Dominating the Alentejo plain lies Évora, city of an outstanding beauty, classified as World Heritage by UNESCO since 1986. It is a treasure with much to offer, not only historically and culturally- there are about 300 monuments and churches to visit - but also in terms of gastronomy. Here, one may discover the genuine flavours of the Alentejo given the enormous variety of restaurants, located in a city embraced by fortress walls, lined by medieval streets and squares and filled with historic memories.
Outside the city, there are plenty of leisure activities to choose from. One may enjoy the tasting of regional products, such as wine, cheese and olive-oil, or choose a pleasurable horse-ride, a day of hunting, a Kart-race at the Évora kartodrome, or even select a variety of adventure sports. For a more relaxed day, why not visit some of the beautiful Alentejo towns and cities, not very far from Évora, such as Monsaraz, Arraiolos, Estremoz, Borba and Vila Viçosa."
The Alentejo is an extensive region covering almost a third of Portugal. The boundary to the north is the River Tagus (Tejo) and to the south the hills of the Algarve. In the east, it shares a frontier with Spain and in the west it opens on to the Atlantic Ocean. Essentially rural and sparsely populated, it offers a landscape that is uncommonly well conserved. Its scenic beauty and the abundance and quality of the heritage found in its archaeology, its monuments, its architecture and its gastronomy make it an exceptional place for the kind if discovery provided by nature and cultural tourism.
The character of the Alentejo requires you to leave the highways and favour secondary roads which offer the best means of enjoying a landscape made up of cork oak woodland, wheat fields, vineyards and olive grooves and to make contact with a people that are friendly and hospitable by nature.

The running time is 1 hour and twenty-seven minutes and is intended to fit the pace of a typical, albeit it rockin, Vinyasa class. There are several tracks featured by a number of the artists who performed at 2010′s Coachella such as Thom Yorke (Radiohead), Gorillaz, LCD Soundsystem, The XX, and even your boy Jay-Z, as well as plenty of other blissful beats mixed in.

The audience was stunned. Later, the dean who'd invited Charlie dashed off a letter to the faculty and students, saying that homecoming was a time of trying to promote peace and understanding in the world. The dean concluded: "I am sorry that I did not have the insight to get up at the time and refute the irresponsible abuse and blasphemy."
Charlie's response: "Was it lack of insight or lack of guts?"
He gave a spirited defense of his actions: "As for 'living with our fellow men in a peaceful, understanding world,' what sandpile have you buried your head in since you got out of college? We are living in a world in which two systems are locked in mortal conflict to determine which kind of a world our kids are going to inherit, a race which we shall have to work hard not to lose since our institutions have been turning out a majority of knuckleheads instead of men and women who are trained to think and weigh the issues of our society."
The El Paso fracas occurred only days before the legislative elections in Utah, where Charlie was a candidate for state Senate. He'd figured that as long as he was paying 85 percent of the property tax in Grand County, he might as well get into politics.
He won--and Salt Lake City was never the same.
Warned not to piss off the state's Mormon majority, Charlie went ahead and introduced a liquor-by-the-drink bill. It was defeated. He introduced a horse-racing bill. It was defeated. He tried to lower the legal age for purchase of cigarettes from 21 to 18. He failed.
"I then thought of introducing a head tax on virtue," he said at the time. His reasoning was that "quite a lot of money could be collected from those who couldn't furnish a signed affidavit that they neither smoked or drank."
Charlie had reason to be cynical: He could have made a fortune that way from his own colleagues in the Senate. During the legislative session, Charlie and M.L. lived in a big hotel suite, and it was crawling with drunken Mormons.
"We had lots of booze in our suite, and all the senators knew that," M.L. recalled. "I knew when it was two minutes after five every day because here would come this herd of Mormon non-drinkers dashin' in to get drunk. I got to the place where I hated every damn one of them. You'd get up in the morning, you know, and there might be five or six senators on the chair or off the chair or on a couch or on the floor. I couldn't even go get coffee in the morning without getting dressed, because I knew that they would be there. They knew they could get free booze there and not be seen by somebody from the church."
Charlie resigned shortly before his term ended. Utah's income taxes bothered him, so he and M.L. decided to move to Nevada. In 1961 they bought three Washoe Valley ranches outside of Reno, where they would build a mansion and run cattle and breed Arabian horses.
Charlie told a writer for Cosmopolitan: "What I liked best about Nevada was the protective coloration. In Moab, I was the only millionaire. In the Reno area, there were at least 130 others, some a lot richer than me."
They got to know the casino owners and continued to hang with celebrities. The Steens sold Wayne Newton his first Arabian, and the singer later brought a prospective bride to their house for their approval. M.L. was head of the Crippled Children's Association in Reno and got to meet such entertainers as Dinah Shore.
Charlie still had plenty of money, and he made more when he decided to sell the Mi Vida mine and the mill. Meanwhile, he had diversified his investments. He didn't want the security of tax-exempt bonds; that would have led to what he once called "the Three B Syndrome of bridge, bourbon and boredom." (That quote and some other Steen anecdotes come from the 1989 book Uranium Frenzy, by Raye C. Ringholz, and Maxine Newell's pamphlet Charlie Steen's Mi Vida.) Instead, he headed mining companies that were exploring for gold and silver in several states, as well as in British Honduras and Mexico. Along the way, he'd also invested in a dizzying number of ventures, including a pickle factory, a marble quarry, a copper mine and an aircraft factory. But the mining properties were his love: He just knew he had another big strike in him.
Although each of the boys was set up with a $500,000 trust fund, Charlie didn't exactly plan for his and M.L.'s own future. Except for the Washoe Valley mansion. They built a 27,000-square-foot marble house, with a 13,000-square-foot living room, a dining room surrounded by a moat and an indoor pool. They filled the house with plunder from their worldwide trips. In 1966, after three years of construction, they moved into the mansion.
Two years later, the lights went out.
One day in February 1968, agents of the Internal Revenue Service showed up at Charlie Steen's Reno headquarters and seized the building and its contents with no warning. It was a "jeopardy assessment": The IRS, concerned over a recent court case against Steen, didn't think Charlie would be able to pay his taxes.

The City of New Rochelle city council's Motion to Dismiss a lawsuit against its residential refuse fee was decided this week; Judge James Hubert of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Westchester sitting at White Plains denied the motion in a four-page decision. The council has three weeks to explain, essentially; why "user fees" should be employed instead of simply utilizing general property taxes; increasing them above a 2011 statutory limit as required to supplement revenues from sales taxes, parking tickets and assorted permits and fines in order to finance necessary city operations.
The question is of considerable significance in light of the 2% property tax cap legislation adopted two years ago by a nearly unanimous state legislature and signed into law by the governor. The city had tripled-up a pre-existing, 10 year-old fee for refuse pick-up, increasing it to $223 per residence (private homes and each individual apartment in a multi-family or high rise, included). The council also increased the city tax levy by 2%; combining the levy and fees, the increase for the 2012 budget year approached 15% in total. For the 2013 budget just adopted last December, the city council maintained the enhanced fee and then increased property taxes in general by almost 7% after voting to raise the cap as permitted under the 2011 state legislation.
The lawsuit was filed in the form of an Article 78 proceeding which is designed according to state statute to allow an ordinary citizen to challenge the action of a government agency or officer for acting unlawfully or beyond its jurisdiction. The City of New Rochelle's motion questioned the form and procedure of the action. Judge Hubert declined to accept such grounds to dismiss the proceeding. and concluded that "the petition ... states a cause of action...". The respondent city council was given three weeks from entry of filing of notice of entry of the decision to file and serve their answer.
With the city council's expected response, residents, taxpayers, property owners (both individual and multi-family), renters and other stakeholders will have the opportunity to better understand why, as a consequence of the city's budgetary woes they should have to endure fees on all sorts of city accommodations and services that they have long come to expect as a proper return on their willing and regular payment of ordinary taxes.
If the fee device as presently implemented is permitted to continue, will we, our neighbors and friends need to cower in fear of the next dreaded residential user fee? What form will it take and to what other appurtenances of suburban living will it be attached next? Traffic lights, stop signs, sewer grates, fire hydrants, chimneys, in-ground swimming pools and Jacuzzis?
Perhaps the court proceedings will shed light on the actual reasons for the city's revenue shortfall, other than the usual culprits of loose administrative policies, archaic work rules/practices and waste. Perhaps also, a genuine discussion will ensue concerning how local government and all the political components and elements of the citizenry: Republican, Democrat, Independent and unaffiliated; ideologically liberal, libertarian and conservative; African-American, Caucasian, Asian and Spanish-Speaking, might work cooperatively and harmoniously together to start addressing our proud city's operational and budgetary difficulties.
Proponents of efficacious and efficient government will likely cite as the chief problem and starting point of analysis; the gifting by successive Democratic city administrations of excessive tax breaks to developers of rental apartments in our beleaguered downtown core - past recipients including the Avalon group and Cappelli Enterprises - possible future recipients including Forest City Ratner, which at the present moment is seeking a new 20-year deal. As advocates of fiscal restraint see it, Westchester seems to be the home of desperate municipal taxing/revenue generation measures, and New Rochelle is its ground zero (reports of new outbreaks of "service fee fever" have lately been overheard in nearby Port Chester).
Conservatives have been outspoken on such issues for a while. Maybe it is time that we heard from those across the ideological spectrum: left-leaning and liberal advocates of strong schools and propitious living standards for all, regardless of income level. They can't be content with the constrained school funding and slapdash infrastructure maintenance which the depletion of New Rochelle's assessable tax base by some $32 million in only nine years has caused.
On the strictly political plane, Mayor Noam Bramson is seeking the Democratic nomination to run for the County Executive seat held by Republican Rob Astorino. The Article 78 proceeding may shed light on Bramson's claim that his development planning and practices have halted the city's slide from preeminence as a leading suburb. The hearings could also take stock of his administration's devotion to an open and democratic exercise of republican local government; essentially, assaying the relative transparency or opacity of city hall in its support of the extension of generous, extra-market concessions and tax abatements to favored developers, some of whom have contributed to campaign funds of numerous New Rochelle politicians, including himself.

Illinois is en route to 70 mph speed limits, according to the Chicago Sun-Times:
Illinois Tollway officials Thursday moved one step closer to a 70 mph Illinois speed limit, but only on rural tollway areas far from Chicago.
In addition, the tollway board of directors approved a plan to increase the minimum speed limit from 45 mph to 55 mph where the speed limit is 65 mph or will become 70 mph.
Under a proposal approved Thursday, 70 mph speed limits would begin as early as January 2014 for:
◆ A 6-mile segment of the Tri-State Tollway in Lake County near the Wisconsin border, pending a speed limit increase on Interstate 94 in Wisconsin. Trucks weighing more than 4 tons would still be limited to 55 mph.
◆ A 64-mile segment of the Reagan Memorial Tollway, starting near the western edge of Kane County and moving west to Sterling. The speed limit on 8 miles in Kane County would remain at 55 for trucks weighing more than 4 tons.
