Ellington Financial LLC Announces First Quarter Dividend Of $0.77 Per Share
OLD GREENWICH, Conn., May 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ellington Financial LLC (NYSE: EFC) (the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a dividend for the first quarter of 2013 of $0.77 per share, payable on June 17, 2013 to shareholders of record as of May 31, 2013. (1) Subject to the ultimate discretion of the Board of Directors, the Company's management expects to continue to recommend quarterly dividends of $0.77 per share until conditions warrant otherwise. In addition, at the end of any year, the Board of Directors will take into account the Company's earnings and other factors and will consider whether to declare a special dividend. Periodically, management may adjust its quarterly dividend recommendation based on the Company's actual earnings, management's assessment of the Company's long-term earnings prospects, and other factors. The declaration and amount of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
(1) For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the first quarter 2013 dividend will be treated as partnership distribution. Based on information currently available, the Company estimates that, when calculating U.S. federal withholding taxes, the entire amount of this dividend will be treated as portfolio interest income (as described in Section 871(h) of the Internal Revenue Code). As a result, no portion of this dividend should be considered attributable to income that is subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, including U.S. source dividend income or income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, some portion of future dividends may be considered attributable to U.S. source dividend income, interest income that is not "portfolio interest," or income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, and therefore may be subject to U.S. federal withholding taxes.
The Company does not provide advice on tax matters to its shareholders or to broker/nominees who hold the Company's shares on behalf of their customers. The information above is provided for informational purposes only, is subject to change as more definitive information is obtained by the Company, and does not constitute tax advice. Non-U.S. holders of the Company's common shares and broker/nominees who hold shares on behalf of such holders are strongly urged to consult with their own tax advisors with regard to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the dividends paid by the Company. This information is not intended to, and cannot, be used by any taxpayer to avoid penalties that may be imposed under U.S. federal income tax law.

Fifty homes have been evacuated and 100 more are on pre-evacuation orders due to the new Wilson Fire, which is burning southeast of Roundup along Johnny's Coal Road off of Highway 87.
"Every department in the county is committed," said Jeff Gates, Musselshell County Disaster & Emergency Services coordinator.
Those resources, which include mutual aid from other counties and the Montana Department of Natural Resources, are comprised of 25 fire engines, two helicopters, and four dozers.
Gates said the fire is moving west and that 'bad, erratic winds' are currently a concern.
Gates also confirmed that crews do not have a current size estimate on the fire.
An emergency shelter has been set up at the Red Cross for victims at St. Benedicts Church in Roundup.

Faster, Cheaper, Dumber: Street Whispers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Despite the hand wringing over Knight Capital's (KCG) $440 million in losses that also led to wild trading in at least 10 stocks, Wall Street is continues to fall over itself to make sure "smart money' high-frequency wolves can continue to slaughter the retail "dumb money" sheep.
Last week BATS Global Markets -- a high frequency trading exchange that which nearly went down in flames because of its own flash crash - said it will tie into NYSE Euronext's (NYX) new Retail Liquidity Program (RLP).
What is the RLP? It's a so-called "Dark Pool" where high frequency traders enjoy a refreshing and profitable swim. It also happens to be the pool where Knight Capital nearly drowned after a bad bit of computer programming went haywire while it attempted to tie into the system.
NYSE Euronext launched the RLP on August 1 in an effort to bring retail stock trading back to the "Big Board" by offering the ability to trade anonymously -- and in fractions of pennies -- on its exchange. After losing market share to other dark pools where traders can operate with little disclosure, NYSE Euronext is essentially creating its own dark pool, but with what it argues are investor protections of public data feeds and increased regulation.In a lobbying effort for the RLP, Duncan Niederauer, the chief executive of NYSE Euronext took to the Financial Times to note that the program would return stock trading from opaque outfits to more trustworthy exchanges, citing figures like the 50 "dark pool" exchanges across the U.S. and the 40% of overall market trading that is channeled to them. In the Op/Ed Niederauer highlighted a "two-tiered" equity market of transparent exchanges and opaque off-exchange venues that is harming ordinary investor confidence and the quality of markets. His solution? Bring an opaque, two-tiered system with fast-money trading incentives to the "Big Board." In the NYSE's proposed RLP system, retail orders would be executed at fractions of pennies - 100 IBM (IBM) shares at say $200.001 instead of $200.01. That's exactly the kind of pricing that high frequency traders enjoy since it allows they to move in and out of positions in milliseconds and at subpenny prices. With access to NYSEs retail order flow, robotic and sophisticated traders will have a whole new menu of liquidity on which to feast.

Zou Shiming is truly a boxing mastermind, an unusual choice to be a fighter from a country that hasn't had much success in the boxing world, Zou has brought a billion people to the sport. What many don't know is that I had the pleasure of seeing Zou fight here in Chicago back in 2007, he fought against a Irish boxer named, Paddy Barnes putting up a masterful performance as he easily won the World Amateur Championship at light flyweight.
Zou is China's first gold medal boxing champion and wants to be the countries first boxing world champion. We saw another Olympic superstar Guillermo Rigondeaux from Cuba, who is looked at by many as the best amateur champion of all-time, win his first world championship in lest than a year of turning pro. Zou goal is to do the same and he wants to fight the best fighters in the world.
At 31 years old, many feel that he doesn't have much time left in the sport, but Zou feels young and has the body of the Kung Fu master Bruce lee. he may be able to fight for many years than we all expect. After two Olympic gold medals and a silver medal, he has left a trail that will be hard to match at light flyweight. As a pro he will have to deal with the baddest guys in the business Roman Gonzales, 34w(28)-0 from Managua, Nicaragua is top dog in the weight class, followed by Adrian Hernandez and Donnie Nietes.

Work details
The Pact by Jodi Picoult (1998)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Jodi Picoult's "The Pact" is billed as a love story but it is far more than that. It is a story of complex human relationships culminating in a John Grisham like Courtroom Drama. The story involves the death of Emily Gold. Is it a suicide or did Chris Harte kill her? That in essence is the plot but in answering this question Picoult has explored so many areas of relationships that the book tugged at my heartstrings. As for the trial each time a witness was examined and cross-examined I swayed between thinking Chris would be acquitted or convicted. No, I will not be a spoiler. This book is a must read.
While this was a pretty fast read, for its length there could have been more character development. I never felt like I really knew any of them and found I didn't really care what happened to them in the end.
There are certain sorts of books I tend to read late at night, before bed. They are usually mindless, "intellectual" love stories, suspense, thrillers, or mysteries. And so I found myself at the bookstore with an urge for such a book, and came across The Pact. And for the genre, it was a bit above average, though nothing that's inspiring me to read any more Picoult.
"Do you know... what it's like to love someone so much, that you can't see yourself without picturing [them]? Or what it's like to touch someone, and feel like you've come home?"
"...and he suddenly knew that if she killed herself, he would die. Maybe not immediately, maybe not with the same blinding rush of pain, but it would happen. You couldn't live for very long without a heart."
A wonderful book about expectations and the fear of not accomplishing your goals and letting your loved ones down. It was a rocky road from before the trial and during trying to get a sense of how Chris truly felt and what really occurred. I thought the pace was pretty good through out and I liked the ending.
Heart wrenching. Good, believable ending.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0061150142, Mass Market Paperback)
Until the phone calls came at three o'clock on a November morning, the Golds and their neighbors, the Hartes, had been inseparable. It was no surprise to anyone when their teenage children, Chris and Emily, began showing signs that their relationship was moving beyond that of lifelong friends. But now seventeen-year-old Emily is dead—shot with a gun her beloved and devoted Chris pilfered from his father's cabinet as part of an apparent suicide pact—leaving two devastated families stranded in the dark and dense predawn, desperate for answers about an unthinkable act and the children they never really knew.
From New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult—one of the most powerful writers in contemporary fiction—comes a riveting, timely, heartbreaking, and terrifying novel of families in anguish and friendships ripped apart by inconceivable violence.

A teenage suicide pact between a pregnant girl and her boyfriend, both children of wealthy New England families. He shoots her, but fails to shoot himself and is charged with murder. At the trial he explains what made them do it.

Fri, Mar 07, 2008
In its latest analysis on the aerospace industry, Forecast
International projects manufacturers of military fixed-wing
trainers will deliver 1,550 new aircraft during the 10-year period
covered by the study. The value of this production is projected to
reach an estimated $17.1 billion.
According to the study, "The Market for Military Fixed-Wing
Trainer Aircraft 2008-2017," more than half (784) of these 1,550
new trainers will be turboprop-powered trainers, with jet trainers
accounting for nearly all of the remainder (748). The market for
piston-powered military trainers is dying out and so will account
for only 18 aircraft during the forecast period.
Overall, annual production will reach a high of 212 units in
2009 before gradually falling throughout the remainder of the
forecast period to 105 units in 2017.
According to the report, this dramatic decline in production
stems from reduced demand, primarily due to two factors. First,
demand for trainers in the US military is ebbing. The US Navy
procured its last T-45 Goshawk, a jet trainer based on the BAE
Systems Hawk, in 2007. In addition, the US Air Force and Navy Joint
Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) program will be wrapping
up by the end of the forecast period. This program alone will
account for more than 60 percent of the unit production of the
fixed-wing military trainer market over the next decade. When the
program is completed, there will be nothing to replace it in terms
of market demand.
The second major cause of reduced demand for trainers is the
declining need to train new pilots. Many world air arms are
shrinking fighter and attack jet fleets, lowering demand for new
pilots and, in turn, trainers.
"Shrinking demand will lead to lower production levels
market-wide," said Douglas Royce, Aerospace Analyst at Forecast
International. "There are too many manufacturers chasing too small
a market, and the competition for even small contracts is going to
be intense."
Based in Newtown, CT, Forecast International, Inc. is a leading

Silent Running(1972)
A botanist has spent eight years aboard the space freighter "Valley Forge" preserving the only botanical specimens left from Earth under huge geodesic domes. When he receives orders to destroy the project and return home, he rebels and hijacks the freighter, killing his fellow crewmen, injuring himself, and plunging the craft into the gaseous rings of Saturn.
For more about Silent Running and the Silent Running Blu-ray release, see Silent Running Blu-ray Review published by Dr. Svet Atanasov on October 9, 2011 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5.

Silent Running Blu-ray Review
Reviewed by Dr. Svet Atanasov, October 9, 2011
Douglas Trumbull's "Silent Running" (1972) arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of British distributors Eureka Entertainment. The supplemental features on the disc include the film's original theatrical trailer; audio commentary by director Douglas Trumbull and Bruce Dern; documentary film directed by Charles Barbee; video interview with Bruce Dern; and more. The disc also arrives with a lavish illustrated booklet featuring notes by director of photography Charles F. Wheeler, concept art designer Wayne Smith, and composer and conductor Peter Schickele. In English, with optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature. Region-B "locked".
The future. Freeman Lowell (Bruce Dern, The Great Gatsby, Coming Home) is one of four astronauts on board of Valley Forge, a state-of-the-art spaceship carrying giant domes with Earth's last forests. Assisted by three drones, he waters the plants, feeds the animals, and makes sure that there is enough sunlight for everyone. Unlike the other three astronauts, he truly loves what he is paid to do.
During a routine briefing, the astronauts are ordered to destroy the domes and get ready to head back home. Having invested years of work in the domes, Lowell becomes incredibly sad - and then angry. Moments before his colleagues destroy the last dome he openly confronts them, and later on eliminates them.
After he takes control of Valley Forge, Lowell reprograms the three drones and gives them new names - Huey, Louie, and Dewey. Then he teaches them how to take care of the last dome, monitor animal activity, and even play poker. However, he loses one of them during a powerful asteroid storm.
Meanwhile, the owners of Valley Forge, who have absolutely no idea what has taken place, begin asking questions, which force Lowell to hide behind Saturn's rings, where communication is impossible and the spaceship cannot be traced. But how long can he hide there before the owners of Valley Forge send someone to find out what has happened to their property?
Silent Running was the first film directed by Douglas Trumbull, who earned a solid reputation for his work as a special photographic effects supervisor on Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. The script for the film was co-written by soon to be a director Michael Cimino (The Deer Hunter), Deric Washburn (The Border), and Steven Bochco (TV's NYPD Blue).
The film carries an important environmental message but it is not overwhelmed by it. The dilemmas Lowell faces are unique and credible enough to have the viewer entertained and at the same time consider the bigger picture.
The pacing is slow and the atmosphere moody, both most appropriate for Lowell's gradual mental deterioration. Alone on Valley Forge, and communicating only with the drones, he begins to realize how desperate his situation has become, which forces him to reevaluate his entire life.
The film starts to stutter a bit towards the end, when Lowell becomes emotionally attached to the drones. There are a few overly sentimental and melodramatic scenes which at the very least could have been shortened, but they are hardly as damaging as they may sound. Ultimately, the ride is thrilling and the visuals indeed very impressive.
Dern is convincing as the pacifist hippie gone berserk. His angry outbursts, however, are not as intense as the ones he will become famous for a couple of years after he appeared in Silent Running (see Walter Hill's The Driver and Bob Brooks' Tattoo).
Mark Persons, Steve Brown, Cheryl Sparks, and Larry Whisenhunt, the four multiple-amputee actors who operated the drones seen in the film, are excellent.
The film is complimented by a great retro soundtrack (featuring two songs by the great Joan Baez) courtesy of Peter Schickele.
Silent Running Blu-ray, Video Quality
Presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Douglas Trumbull's Silent Running arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of British distributors Eureka Entertainment.
The following text appears inside the booklet provided with this Blu-ray disc:
"The film was transferred and graded in HD resolution from an interpositive 35mm source element made in 1996 and supplied by NBC/Universal, USA. Further restoration work was completed at Deluxe 142, London. Picture issues, such as dirt, light scratches, and debris as well as warped, damaged, or unstable frames were removed or improved upon using a combination of HD-DVNR, Phoenix, and MTI systems."
This Blu-ray release makes it perfectly clear that Universal Studios could keep a lot of people happy if they treated their older films like Eureka Entertainment have treated Silent Running - put the best raw transfer you have on Blu-ray without denoising and then sharpening it beyond recognition. Things may not be perfect, but the film will look like film.
Detail and clarity are pleasing, especially during the darker sequences, which look blocky and murky on the R1 SDVD release. Some of the close-ups look a bit soft but not scrubbed up. A light layer of grain is present throughout the entire film and there are practically no traces of edge-enhancement affecting the integrity of the image (the only extremely mild sharpening I noticed during a few scenes is as seen on screencapture #10). Color reproduction is convincing - the warm blues, greens, brown, and blacks never look manipulated. Furthermore, I did not see any serious compression issues to report in this review. Blown through a digital projector, the image also remains tight around the edges while boasting pleasing fluidity. Finally, there are no large damage marks, scratches, or warps. (Note: This is a Region-B "locked" Blu-ray disc. Therefore, you must have a native Region-B or Region-Free PS3 or SA in order to access its content).
Silent Running Blu-ray, Audio Quality
There are two audio tracks on this Blu-ray disc: English DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track and Music & Effects DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track. For the record, Eureka Entertainment have provided optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature.
The loseless audio track opens up the film rather well. Not only are some of the special audio effects better enhanced, but generally the sound is also notably crisper and clearer (the birds in the domes, for instance, are a lot easier to hear). Joan Baez's singing is also richer and better rounded. There are no problematic pops and cracks, or background hiss.
Silent Running Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
Silent Running Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
I truly hope that the recently announced collaboration between Eureka Entertainment and Universal Studios will last a long time as there are literally hundreds of older films I would love to see the British distributors bring to Blu-ray. Silent Running, the first film to transition to Blu-ray as a result of this collaboration, looks and sounds very good, and I am convinced that fans of classic sci-fi cinema will be very pleased with the attention it has received. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Huntersville 2030 Community Plan
Downtown Huntersville in 2030
In 2030 Huntersville's Downtown will be a thriving, mixed-use town center with a variety of housing types (single-family, townhomes, live-work, and apartments), retail establishments, restaurants, offices, civic and recreational uses. The historic character of Downtown Huntersville will be preserved and enhanced through the integration of new with existing development, reflecting the highest quality architecture, resulting in a revitalized Downtown that is uniquely Huntersville. The Downtown street grid will be characterized by a well-connected network accommodating all modes of transportation (vehicular, pedestrian and non-motorized), including bus public transit and trains. The streetscape and public spaces will include attractive lighting, street trees and well-designed signage providing a safe, pleasant experience for visitors and residents alike. Public events, outdoor markets and art displays will activate the Downtown area, creating a true "destination" experience and focal point for the Town of Huntersville.
Up until the completion of I-77 through Huntersville in the late 1960's, Downtown Huntersville had been the residential, civic, and commercial center of the community. This status was appropriate for a town that had reached a population of only 1,538 residents by 1970 (see Table DT-1). Some of Huntersville's oldest and most historic commercial buildings and residential structures are located in the Downtown, including those which served the community as it evolved from its early history as an agricultural farming community to a mill village in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During this time, the land use pattern established in the Downtown remained largely unchanged.

Main Street - 1959
However, beginning in the early 1970's the prominence of the Downtown began to wane with the introduction of commercial development at the new Gilead Road/ I-77 interchange. That shift was greatly accelerated with the completion of the Sam Furr/I-77 interchange and subsequent adjacent commercial and residential development in the mid 1990's, along with the population explosion that same decade.
While Downtown Huntersville still remains the main civic hub of the community as home to Town Hall, the Police Station, post office, churches and Huntersville Elementary School, it has long been replaced as the residential and commercial core of the community.
Table DT-1
Huntersville Population (1960-2010)

The boundaries of Downtown Huntersville
are generally framed by Gilead Road and Commerce Drive to the west, Huntersville-Concord Road at Vermillion subdivision to
the east, NC 115 and Main Street to the
north, and NC 115 and Mount
Holly-Huntersville Road to the south.
This area comprises approximately
710 acres (see Figure DT-2).

In addition to its location at the geographic center of Huntersville, Downtown is also located at the crossroads of several important thoroughfares, including Gilead Road and NC 115, as well as the Norfolk Southern rail line, which is the planned location of the Charlotte Area Transit System's (CATS) North Corridor commuter rail line. Additionally, given the renewed market interest in mixed-use walkable centers, Downtown Huntersville is well-positioned for redevelopment and restoration to a more central role in the community.
In 1996, Downtown saw its first significant new construction since the beginning of decline in the 1970's. A new Town Hall and Police Station were constructed in the center of Downtown. Both structures were of neo-classical colonial design and represented the beginning of the Downtown's renaissance as the civic hub for Huntersville. 2010 marked the next important milestone in the redevelopment of the Downtown, with completion of the "Huntersville Town Center" project.
Built by the Town of Huntersville, Town Center (see Figure DT-3), located at the intersection of NC 115 and Gilead Road, consists of a 48,000 square foot three-story structure, along with an adjoining 297 space parking deck. The first two floors of this building will serve as the first satellite location for Discovery Place – Discovery Place Kids, a children's museum intended to serve ages seven and under. The third floor of this building will provide office space for the Town of Huntersville. Related infrastructure improvements included reconstruction and the addition of lanes to the NC 115, Gilead Road and Huntersville-Concord Road intersection, the burying of overhead utility lines and placement of new pedestrian traffic control signals traffic signal mast arms.
The Town Center project also calls for the construction of a similar multi-story building to be built by the private sector fronting on NC 115. Once completed, Town Center will serve as anchor for the anticipated redevelopment of the historic core of Downtown Huntersville.

A number of plans completed since 1996 have focused on redevelopment of Huntersville's historic Downtown and serve as the foundation for recommendations contained in the Huntersville 2030 Community Plan.
• DPZ-Vermillion Master Plan (1996)
As part of the master planning process for the Vermillion neighborhood, its designer, Duany Plater-Zyberk (DPZ) and Company extended their study area to encompass the Downtown core.
• North Carolina Downtown Development Association –
The NCDDA study focused on
Implementing the "Main Street Approach"
in the Downtown as defined by the
National Main Street Center and
Main Street North Carolina programs.
• ColeJenest and Stone Gilead Road Streetscape Plan (1999)
In 1999, ColeJenest and Stone was hired by the Town to study the Gilead Road corridor and made recommendations for streetscape improvements.
• DPZ-Anchor Mill Master Plan (1999)
Following purchase of the Anchor Mill site by the Town, a development team that included DPZ, conducted a design charrette with focus on the Anchor Mill site and its redevelopment as a transit oriented development.
• NLC/Hyett Palma (2000)
The National League of Cities (NLC), in conjunction with Hyett Palma performed the "America Downtown: New Thinking, New Life" pilot study program providing recommendations to revitalize Downtown.
• Narmour Wright (2004)
Preceding preparation of the "Downtown Master Plan", the architecture firm of Narmour Wright was commissioned by the Town to complete a space needs analysis of all Town buildings.
• Downtown Master Plan (2006)
A master plan was adopted providing detailed recommendations for the physical redevelopment of Downtown including an implementation program (Map DT-1).
• Gilead Road/US-21 Transportation and Land Use Vision Small Area Plan (2006)
This plan offered street improvement recommendations for a small western portion of the Downtown area.
• East Huntersville Area Development Plan (2007)
This plan includes recommendations for a series of development initiatives and public improvements for land east of Church Street and the north/south rail corridor, adjacent to the Downtown (Map DT-2).
• Estimated Development Potential for Transit Corridors & Activity Centers 2008-2035 (2009)
The Noell Consulting Group prepared a market analysis of the development potential within a quarter mile at all the proposed CATS rail transit stations including Downtown Huntersville.

Huntersville's Zoning Ordinance is a "Form-based" or "Design-based" land development code focused on the quality of design and placement of buildings, rather than on the segregation of land uses by zoning district. For example, allowed uses in several zoning districts found within the Downtown range from single-family homes to a variety of commercial uses and hotels.
This provides a mixture of uses in the Downtown which gives land owners greater flexibility in developing and redeveloping their property, consistent with the recommendations outlined in the "Downtown Master Plan" and "East Huntersville Area Development Plan."
This added flexibility also encourages development/redevelopment by not requiring property owners to complete the rezoning process to accommodate a particular type of land use that is allowed "by right."
The zoning designations encompassing the Downtown (see Map DT-3) are a combination of Town Center (TC), Neighborhood Residential (NR), Neighborhood Center (NC), Highway Commercial (HC), General Residential (GR), and Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND-O).

4.1 Future Development
The Downtown Master Plan (2006), Gilead Road/US-21 Transportation and Land Use
Vision Small Area Plan (2006) and East Huntersville Area Development Plan (2007) provide a detailed framework for the revitalization and redevelopment of
Downtown Huntersville.
These plans address such issues as the future
transportation network, neighborhood preservation, land use and public investment required to achieve the recommendations contained in these plans
Given the relatively recent adoption of these plans, they continue to be relevant today and provide a solid basis for assessing and guiding future development proposals, zoning ordinance amendments, and infrastructure investments.
However, in light of changing economic and market conditions, and the need to keep plans up-to-date, it will be essential for the Town to revisit the policies and recommendations of those plans in the next several years. Outlined below are "Policy" and "Action" items intended to guide revitalization of Downtown Huntersville through 2030.
4.2 Revitalization and Redevelopment
Revitalization and development of the Downtown is critical to the continued growth and vitality of Huntersville. A strong Downtown provides unique economic, social and recreational benefits that cannot be replicated elsewhere. As the center of a dynamic community which will continue to experience strong growth trends through 2030, Downtown Huntersville is well positioned for a renaissance that will result in a thriving mixed-use, pedestrian friendly town center.
In order to capitalize on the potential creation of jobs, a future town wide economic development plan should include specific recommendations for Downtown Huntersville (see Economic Development Action ED 1.1).
To promote commercial development Downtown, it is recommended that the private sector join forces to establish a Downtown business association. To that end, the Town can provide informational support to the Downtown business association (DBA) as it would any other business association.
Huntersville's Zoning Ordinance currently allows a full variety of housing types in the Downtown area including single-family, apartments, townhomes, and live-work units. The number of residential units allowed per acre is not specified. However, generally within half a mile of future transit stations, it is recommended new development meet a minimum residential density of 15 units per area in order to support transit.
Citizen Survey: 73% of the respondents strongly agreed or agreed the town should encourage more mixed use development Downtown.
Rosedale Apartments developed at approximately 15 units/acre
The current zoning ordinance establishes a Transit Oriented Development-Residential (TOD-R) District that requires a minimum residential density of 15 units per acre and a maximum of 40 units per acre within half a mile of a designated train station. Although the TOD-R District designation has not yet been applied in the Downtown area, future rezoning requests will likely follow.
4.3 Urban Design
With the adoption of a "Form-based"
Zoning Ordinance in 1996, the Town of Huntersville made "design" the primary organizing principle for new development
and land planning. The form-based
approach to land development recognizes
the value of the form, scale and placement
of buildings in relation to each other
and seeks to create and reinforce a
"sense of place." This sense of place is
achieved through the interaction of
the built and natural environments with
the people who inhabit them. This
concept is illustrated by Figure DT-4,
taken from Article 4 of the Town's Zoning Ordinance.
In addition to the design of buildings, attention is given to the relationship of buildings are required to "front" on a public street, with streets designed to accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists, along with autos and other forms of motorized transportation.
Figure DT-4 Example of a building type allowed downtown

Citizen Survey: 88% of the respondents strongly agreed or agreed that the town should promote high quality architectural design standards in Downtown.
To establish a building mass appropriate for the center of Downtown, the Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum two-story high building fronting on the following roads:
• Gilead Road – From Sherwood Drive to Old Statesville Road (NC 115)
• Huntersville-Concord Road – From Old Statesville Road (NC 115) to Main Street
• Old Statesville Road (NC 115) – From 400 feet north of the intersection of Gilead Road /Huntersville/Huntersville-Concord Road south to Greenway Drive
• Main Street – From Huntersville-Concord Road to Greenway Drive
While the current ordinance allows buildings up to 48 feet high in the Town Center, Neighborhood Center and Highway Commercial zoning districts, consideration should be given to allowing taller buildings as Huntersville plans for its future.
Providing an inviting pedestrian experience requires more than just paying attention to the style of buildings constructed and their relationship to the public realm. It is also essential that the Downtown have inviting public spaces, be well landscaped, have appropriate lighting, and be comfortable for walking and biking. Taken together, these aesthetic considerations will help to ensure the creation of a Downtown that is attractive as well as functional.
4.3 Infrastructure & Capital Facilities
The future growth and vitality of Downtown Huntersville is dependent on many factors, including a thriving economy, a blueprint for growth and the provision of quality government services. However, foundational to this growth is the infrastructure necessary to support it.
A well-connected street grid, utilities adequately sized to accommodate future growth and development and the capital/institutional facilities necessary to serve the Downtown area are all essential to a vibrant Downtown.
Town Center Sidewalk on Gilead Road
Underground utility line construction in progress
Fast Fact: Three transit Stations are proposed in Huntersville: Bryton, Downtown, and Sam Furr. The land area within half a mile of all three proposed transit stops represents less than 3% of Huntersville's total zoning jurisdiction.
As Downtown Huntersville continues to grow and develop into a compact mixed-use, pedestrian and bicycle oriented town center, its transportation system must be able to adapt and expand to accommodate the anticipated multi-modal travel needs of both current and future residents, workers and visitors. Enhancement of the existing street system to serve the anticipated travel demand must be a high priority between now and 2030. The seamless integration of auto, mass transit, pedestrian, bicycle and other alternative modes of travel will enable the Downtown to operate efficiently as a commercial, residential and civic center. Development of a circulation plan for the Downtown, along with a parking master plan, will be necessary to ensure the efficient and functional travel into and out of the Downtown.
The Downtown Master Plan (2006) and the East Huntersville Plan (2007) recommended a number of road improvements (see Map DT-1) including enhancing Main Street and connecting it to NC 115 with two roundabouts, the extension of Holbrooks Road, and moving Church Street away from the railroad tracks.
As the Town undertakes preparation of a multi-modal integrated transportation system plan, recommendations from the Downtown Plan and East Huntersville Plan should be reviewed and incorporated as appropriate.
In addition to the need for an efficient transportation system to move vehicles into and through Downtown, the provision of sufficient parking Downtown is vital to its success. In 2006, the Huntersville Planning Department completed a "Downtown Parking Study" which inventoried available parking in the Downtown, assessed the need for future parking and offered strategies to accommodate this need.
Citizen Survey: 88% of respondents either strongly agreed or agreed that Huntersville should design Downtown for safe and efficient movement of vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles.
4.4 Parks, Recreation & Open Space in Downtown
As Downtown Huntersville continues to develop as a retail, employment and residential center for the community, the demand and need for additional parks, recreation and open space amenities will increase.
A "green" plan for the Downtown should be developed to guide the strategic placement
of public spaces which can accommodate passive recreation, along with community
and special events (e.g. movies in the park, festivals and outdoor music nights) which
serve to activate the Downtown and provide
a welcome respite from the urban

The famously bitter and ballistic Lewis Black hit the stage gunning at the Tuesday night premiere of his new Broadway show, "Running on Empty."
He aimed his first shot at himself as a capacity crowd in the Richard Rodgers Theatre roared at his entrance.
"It's not gonna be that exciting," he deadpanned about the raucous greeting. "Now that's a show I'd like to see."
Known for comedy specials and caustic rants about current events and politics, the 64-year-old actor-writer-comedian was true to form.
In his crosshairs: health care, Social Security and Mark Zuckerberg's comparison of the launch of Facebook to the invention of the printing press.
"The printing press," he said calmly, "made books possible and elevated people's intelligence across the world." By the time he said that Facebook informs us that "Martha had a touch of diarrhea today," Black's voice had risen to its signature bellow.
The presidential race and politics left, right and center riled Black, who took on Barack Obama and Mitt Romney and noted that Paul Ryan "has the eyes of a wolf that hasn't eaten in three days."
Watching Black's 105-minute set, one might get hungry for more cohesion and vision. He doesn't build themes, but simply tosses grenades. And some targets, such as Kim Kardashian, are old news.
Still, there are lots of laughs. But the irascible Black even takes issue with that.
"I'm a comedian, not a pharmacist. Laughter isn't the best medicine. If it were, Pfizer would have put out a yuk drug — with a healthy co-pay."
The years haven't exactly mellowed Lewis Black. But why would they? If they had, he wouldn't have an act. He gets angry so we don't have to.
In "Running on Empty," which kicked off its short Broadway run on Tuesday, the 64-year-old comedian waxes apoplectic about social media, the Kardashians and, naturally, the pitiful state of current politics. Not that he offers himself as any kind of panacea.
"Let's get something straight," he announced at the start, once the rabid applause died down. "It's not going to be that exciting."
He's right in the sense that his trademark seething has become common in an age when so-called pundits rage hour after hour on cable news networks. It says something about our society that the endlessly fulminating Black now seems like a calm voice of reason.
But that doesn't diminish his ability to wrest laughs out of the frustration of living in a world going terribly wrong. His natural response is a paroxysm of anger resembling a grand mal seizure — followed by uncontrolled laughter from his listeners.
"No matter what happens here tonight, nothing, and I mean nothing, is going to change," he declares. True enough, but that doesn't diminish the cathartic effect of hearing his hilarious, frequently profane rants about the moribund state of NASA ("They've taken away my only hope of getting off this f - - king planet"), the word "Obamacare" ("It's not about the care and feeding of Obama!") and Facebook, which he describes as "a glorified yearbook."
When that last line failed to elicit a sufficient response, he turned his comic rage toward the audience.
"There's a joke there, and f - - k you for missing it!" he bellowed.
By now, Black's well-honed persona is so familiar that he can get laughs even without jokes. All he has to do is recite the names of the recent Republican presidential candidates, pause, and exclaim, "What the f - - k!"
But there's no shortage of terrific zingers, such as this one about Newt Gingrich's sex life: "I have to think about my parents having sex to cleanse my palate." Or, referring to the 82-year-old Clint Eastwood's rambling convention speech: "I don't enjoy being reminded of my own mortality."
The title of his show may be "Running on Empty," but it's clear that Lewis Black still has plenty of comedic fuel in his furnace.
That dark cloud hanging over the Richard Rodgers Theater on West 46th Street for the next week or so is not some freak of the weather. It's the permanent psychic accessory trailed by the comedian Lewis Black, who has brought his evening of angry-man stand-up to Broadway for eight performances through Oct. 20. "Running on Empty," as the show is called, finds Mr. Black in fine, sputtering form, exuding an air of exhausted disgust at the state of the country and the state of the world that will surely resonate with audiences feeling similarly grim as the grinding last stages of the presidential election loom.
Most of his fans probably know Mr. Black from his many appearances on "The Daily Show." (He's the longest-running cast member, his bio informs.) That's where my acquaintance comes from, and I confess that I feared a whole evening of Mr. Black's splenetic seething might be a little toxic. His tirades are often so bilious that you can practically feel the spittle flying off the flat-screen television.
Fortunately for both his audiences and his cardiovascular health, Mr. Black modulates the rage in his 90 or so minutes of stand-up, transforming from sober glowering to jabbering-like-a-lunatic only to punctuate a key point. Dressed in a gray pinstriped suit and a purple tie, eyeglasses framing a face of no special distinction, Mr. Black looks less like a guy who tells jokes for a living than a midcareer accountant nursing a peptic ulcer. The average-guy drag fits nicely with his comic persona, which is of an average guy driven to peaks of towering rage by current affairs in all their sordidness.
Arriving onstage to a long burst of affectionate applause, Mr. Black instantly rains on the parade: "This is not going to be that entertaining," he says dolefully. Assessing his general feeling about the recent past and the predictable future, Mr. Black comes up with a bleak motto that he might just as easily have chosen for the show's title: "Nothing is going to change."
A corollary to that statement might well be: Everything is pretty screwed up. And while we are all complicit in the fix we find ourselves in, Mr. Black evinces particular scorn for his generation, the baby boomers. Noting that the decades of political ferment and activism have failed to bring much positive change to the nation, he concludes that the only real talent boomers have developed is a gift for "hanging out." Social Security is in crisis, the earth is getting hotter than a frying pan, the political culture is broken down, but hey, now that there are lots of channels on television, the impetus to effect real change is not likely to come any time soon.
Not that Mr. Black views the recent great advances in technology as a boon to mankind. Although he bookends the show with segments attacking the state of politics in general and the current election in particular, much of "Running on Empty" is given over to general observations (negative) about the likes of Facebook and Twitter, which he blames for the younger generation's shrinking attention span — a phenomenon going viral more quickly than any cute-kitty video on YouTube. As you might expect, Mr. Black is not the kind of guy who leaps from bed in the morning to find out how many new friends he has acquired in cyberspace. He views these grand innovations in social media as if they were minor but constant irritants, little gobs of gum now stuck to everyone's shoe.
Some of Mr. Black's political material feels a bit past its sell-by date. His merry mockery of the various Republicans who failed to win the presidential nomination probably should have been shelved by now: Who really wants to live through the follies of Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann again? And Mr. Black is so wryly funny and incisive about matters of major import that he doesn't need to pile on poor, pointless Kim Kardashian.
Although he is surely most beloved by the liberal-leaning members of the audience, Mr. Black spreads the opprobrium pretty evenly between the parties, darkly insisting that anyone who belongs to either is, well, more or less an idiot. (His show includes surprisingly few references to Mitt Romney or Barack Obama.) But he admits that complaints that he doesn't do enough jokes about Democrats are well founded, for the obvious reason that Democrats just aren't that funny.
For surefire proof he includes a hilarious bit about a Republican lawmaker in Indiana who was the lone member of the state House to oppose a resolution celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts. After doing a "small amount of Web-based research," this fellow apparently decided that those Thin Mint-selling tykes are part of a homosexuality-promoting "radicalized institution." No Democrat is likely to top that for lunacy any time soon.
Despite his fuming aversion to party politics, Mr. Black says he looks forward to Election Day because that is when he feels "most ineffectual," thus making every other day seem rich in achievement. Not really bumper-sticker material, that. But Mr. Black also comes up with a slightly more positive rationale that qualifies as the pithiest — not to mention funniest — get-out-the-vote motto I've heard this political season: "If you don't vote, you don't get to bitch."

When I last wrote I was out to sea, at the end of Resurrection Bay, south of Seward, Alaska. We had a wildlife filled, beautiful scenic boat ride from Fox Island southward towards the Kenai Fjords. Seeing Killer Whales, Sea Lions, Harbor Seals and a vast variety of birdlife was, to this photographer, incredible. It was becoming quite clear to me that this was really the photographic adventure of a lifetime. Not only was I seeing a vast amount of wildlife and scenery, but we were definitely off the beaten path, so to speak.
SMETHPORT ŌĆō A high rate of poverty and substantial unemployment have led to an ongoing ŌĆ£homelessŌĆØ problem in McKean County.
To address this dilemma, the Young WomenŌĆÖs Christian Association (YWCA) in Bradford is seeking a grant of $68,374 from the state Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED).
Using funding from the United Way and other sources, the YWCA will match the grant ŌĆ£dollar-for-dollar,ŌĆØ according to Amy Pierce. She is the executive director of the YWCA, which operates the only ŌĆ£homeless shelterŌĆØ in McKean County.
SMETHPORT ŌĆō Within a month, Jim Herzog of Smethport again will be appealing the assessment on his timber land in McKean County.
A notice he received earlier this month from the county assessment office shows that the value for ŌĆ£Clean and GreenŌĆØ forest reserve properties is $255 per acre.
Herzog, however, claims that all forest properties under the ŌĆ£Clean and Green (C&G)ŌĆØ program should be valued at only $94 per acre.
RIDGWAY ŌĆō A joint investigation between the Pennsylvania State Police at the Ridgway barracks and the Ridgway Borough Police Department has resulted in the arrest of Francis "Tony" Milliard, 54, and Anthony Milliard, 28, both of Ridgway.
Francis Milliard was apprehended on felony arrest warrants for multiple counts of arson, criminal mischief, and recklessly endangering another person, charges related to a May 30 fire at the residence of Pauline Smith, 521 West Main St. in Ridgway Township.
Anthony Milliard was also charged as a co-defendant in the matter.
The Kane area always has been a major supporter of the annual Relay For Life to benefit the American Cancer Society.
This year, however, interest in the major fundraiser appears to have waned.
Only four teams so far have registered to participate in the Relay For Life to be held Saturday, Aug. 4 at the Kane High School track.
"Kane was once very, very big among our Relays," Katie Dupree said Monday. "But this year we only have four teams. That's very low for Kane. Some of our former teams didn't have new people to take over."

As 2012 draws to a close, we all begin to reflect on the year that was – the highs, the lows and what we can change or look forward to in 2013. All over the world it's been one jam-packed year, our calendars have burst at the seams what with royal weddings, Olympics, presidential elections and more…
While we take time to catch our breath, our good friends over at Handpicked Media – a collective of some of the top UK sites and bloggers – have been busy documenting the best moments of 2012. To showcase their memories of the last 12 months, they've created a book with Blurb. Featuring contributions from over 60 publishers and bloggers, 'This is my #HPMemory2012, what's yours?' is a snapshot of what they experienced. From meeting little babies, and exploring new cities to the year's iconic London events – it's a marvellous collection of reflections and memories capturing the mood of the nation in 2012 and how it was celebrated by those around us.
If this gets you thinking about all the photos you've taken over the past year, why not make your own photo book to capture the highlights that you can share with friends and family and cherish for years to come. I'm starting mine with my hilarious impressions of the Mo-bot. No, the Lightening Bolt. Oh but wait, before that was Wiggo's sideburns. Hmmm, I might need to think about this a bit more.
'This is my #HPMemory2012, what's yours?' is available as a printed book or ebook version from the Blurb Bookstore. 100% of all proceeds from the book will go direct to When You Wish Upon A Star, a charity that grants wishes for children living with life-threatening illnesses.

Phil Angotti is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Beatles' "Please Please Me" with a show at FitzGerald's.
Beatles 'Please Please Me' Album
♦ 9 p.m. March 22
♦ FitzGerald's, 6615 Roosevelt Rd., Berwyn,
♦ Tickets, $6
♦ (708) 788-2118;
Never got the chance to see the Beatles live? For six dollars on March 22 atFitzGerald's in Berwyn, you can see and hear Chicago singer-songwriter Phil Angotti, NRBQ's Casey McDonough and Scott Ligon, and multi-instrumentalist Tony Kidonakis play the Beatles' "Please Please Me" in its entirety to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the album.
A few weeks ago, Angotti read online that "Please Please Me" was released on March 22, 1963. He decided to call up longtime friends McDonough, Ligon, and Kidonakis to play alongside him to cover the album. Angotti and McDonough have been playing together for 20 years — they're both part of the Chicago-based Beatle Brothers cover collective, who previously played all of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" on its 30th anniversary, and John Lennon's "Imagine" (in Liverpool) on its 40th anniversary (with none other than Alan White, who played drums on about half of the original "Imagine" recording).
While McDonough primarily plays bass, he will be on lead guitar for theFitzGerald's show. Kidonakis will play bass, Ligon will play drums, and Angotti will be the lead singer and guitarist/harmonica player. Or, as he puts it, "I'm going to be John Lennon."
A co-owner of guitar shop Avenue North Guitars in Wicker Park, Angotti has access to the same model instruments the Beatles used in 1963, a luxury that he hopes will contribute to a more authentic sound. Angotti will play a 1959 Rickenbacker 325; McDonough will be playing Angotti's 1955 Gretsch Duo-Jet; and the two of them will share a 1960 Gibson J-160E. Kidonakis will be playing a reissue Hofner 500/1 violin bass, similar to the one Paul McCartney used.
"The goal is for the performance to sound as much like the record as possible," said McDonough. "There's something pretty cool about an old instrument. You can feel the difference in holding it. A brand new version of that same guitar just doesn't feel right."
The group is banking on nostalgia to permeate the evening's performance.
"When I was young, my aunt gave me a mixtape with songs from 'Please Please Me' on it," said Kidonakis. "Playing this album will recreate the magic of when I first heard the Beatles." (At the age of 16, Kidonakis actually won a Paul McCartney sound-alike contest after playing "The Long and Winding Road" on piano.)
The "Please Please Me" set at 9:45 p.m. will be sandwiched by a solo acoustic opening set from Angotti at 9p.m. and a closing set from Ligon, McDonough, and Kidonakis' band, The Federales, at 11 p.m.

Gnus stores marks (see section 3.7 Marking Articles) for NNTP
servers in marks files. A marks file records what marks you have set
in a group and each file is specific to the corresponding server.
Marks files are stored in `~/News/marks'
nntp-marks-directory) under a classic hierarchy resembling
that of a news server, for example marks for the group
`gmane.discuss' on the news.gmane.org server will be stored in
the file `~/News/marks/news.gmane.org/gmane/discuss/.marks'.
Marks files are useful because you can copy the `~/News/marks' directory (using rsync, scp or whatever) to another Gnus installation, and it will realize what articles you have read and marked. The data in `~/News/marks' has priority over the same data in `~/.newsrc.eld'.
Note that marks files are very much server-specific: Gnus remembers the article numbers so if you don't use the same servers on both installations things are most likely to break (most NNTP servers do not use the same article numbers as any other server). However, if you use servers A, B, C on one installation and servers A, D, E on the other, you can sync the marks files for A and then you'll get synchronization for that server between the two installations.
Using NNTP marks can possibly incur a performance penalty so
if Gnus feels sluggish, try setting the
variable to
t. Marks will then be stored in `~/.newsrc.eld'.

A thank you to the guys at iPad Creative
I only just realised that probably most of the traffic that's been driven over to my track "That Vintage Engine" is probably due to iPad Creative.
The track is getting close to 5000 plays now, which is amazing.

I was about to delete this from my 3G, then I gave it a little play and found that actually it's quite useful in fact. Not a bad little sequencer.
