Convercent Raises $10.2M for Semantic Compliance Software
Alex Williams of Tech Crunch reports, "Convercent has raised $10.2 million for its compliance software that helps companies promote the good and manage the bad. The round was led by Azure Capital Partners with Mantucket Capita participating in the round. Convercent uses social, mobile and the tenants of the consumer user interface and mobile apps to the often antiquated world of compliance and corporate ethics. The software replaces what is often just a .pdf file that people have to read when they get hired." Read more

Rear Adm. William Radford was born in Fincastle, Va., 1 March 1808 and entered the U.S. Navy during 1825. He commanded the landing party from Warren which captured the Mexican warship Malek Adhel at Mazatlan and took part in other Pacific coast operations of the Mexican War. During the Civil War, he commanded the ill-fated Cumberland but was on board the frigate Roanoke as a member of a Court of enquiry when his ship was attacked by the Confederate casemate ram Virginia. Captain Radford subsequently commanded the armored ship New Ironsides during Union attacks on Fort Fisher in December 1864 and in January 1865. Promoted rear admiral in 1866, he commanded the European squadron during 1869 and 1870. Rear Adm. Radford died at Washington, D.C., 8 January 1890.
(Destroyer No. 120: displacement 1,090; length 314'5"; beam 31'8"; draft 9'9¾"; speed 35 knots; complement 142; armament 4 4", 2 3", 12 21" torpedo tubes; class Wickes)
The first Radford, a steel, flush-deck-type destroyer, was launched 5 April 1918 by Newport News Shipbuilding & Drydock Co., Newport News, Va.; sponsored by Miss Mary Lovell Radford; and commissioned 30 September 1918 at Norfolk Navy Yard, Lt. Comdr. Arthur S. Carpenter in command.
Assigned to the Destroyer Force, Atlantic Fleet, Radford departed Norfolk 12 October on a shakedown cruise to Melville, R.I. She returned to Hampton Roads 21 October 1918 to join the escort force for the Newport News section of Troop Convoy 76 bound for New York and European waters.
Radford subsequently operated on the U.S. east coast into 1919, sailing southward to Cuba 14 January 1919. While based at Guantanamo Bay, she also cruised to Guacanayabo Bay and Santiago, Cuba, before returning north 13 March 1919. Radford operated from Hampton Roads with the Atlantic Fleet from March until July 1919.
Radford was reassigned to the Pacific Fleet in July 1919 and cleared Hampton Roads 19 July for Balboa, C.Z., and San Diego. Upon her arrival at San Diego 7 August, she joined the Destroyer Force, Pacific Fleet. Radford operated from Mare Island Navy Yard, San Diego, and San Pedro into 1922, taking part in training exercises and squadron maneuvers as a unit of Division 12, Squadron 10, Destroyer Flotilla 4. She called at Seattle, Tacoma, and Bellingham, Wash., during September 1919, and at Portland, Oregon., in December 1920. Designated DD-120 in July 1920, Radford decommissioned 9 June 1922 and remained in reserve at San Diego for almost 15 years.
Radford was reclassified AG-22 on 16 April 1932 following the decision to convert her to a mobile target vessel. Conversion work was never undertaken and Radford reverted to DD-120 on 27 June 1932. Struck from the Navy list 19 May 1936, Radford was sunk 5 August 1936 in accordance with the provisions of the London Treaty for the limitation and reduction of naval armament.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Tech Trend: Tablets
Since the launch of the iPad, a slew of tablets have been introduced. Their appeal? Part computer, part smartphone, and part e-reader, they give at-a-touch access to the Internet, e-mail, e-books, videos, music, games, and even work presentations or word processing programs. Of the 13 models we screened, these five are great slates.
By The Good Housekeeping Institute
MODEL: Samsung Galaxy Tab
$500* for Wi-Fi only $530 for Wi-Fi + 4G ($30+/month service plan)
Slimmer than even the iPad, the Android-based Samsung is exceptionally easy to use; testers loved its e-reader app in particular. The home screen auto-updates the weather and e-mail and has \"mini app\" icons for speedy access to photos, the calendar, and other programs. It streams top-notch audio and video, too.
Like the iPad, it lacks USB ports and SD slots for connectivity, relying mainly on Wi-Fi, 3G/4G, or Bluetooth to transfer files or connect to other devices.
*For the entry-level model; pricier versions with more GB of memory are also available

For issue 3 of koffieTcacao magazine we interviewed the inspiring Cuban cacao guru Maricel Presilla. Divided in 2 parts; a genuine story!
Views: 59
She is, in my opinion THE GURU of chocolate and Cacao, respectfully. I have gained so much
insight into the development of the new Cacaos worldwide, because of her knowledge.
Her books taught me how to talk "chocolate".

All Work And No Play Makes Jack... The Hardest Working Hotel Dog In Texas
Jack and Marcus
If there's anything that'll make us fall for a hotel, it's a hotel pet. And although Norman the Scooter Dog is a tough cute-hotel-doggy act to follow, here's a worthy successor: Jack, the delectable Australian Shepherd here, who lives at the Lone Star Court, an old-motel-turned-retro-hotel in Austin.
Jack actually lives on site – above the front office with his GM roommate, Marcus Latner. But unlike you and me, Jack actually likes his roommate – so he spends the day on property, doing whatever Marcus is doing. Except, that is, when he's chowing down on a deer antler (one that Marcus especially got for him, rather than the antler table lamps in the rooms).

Four Seasons Austin Has Gone to WhoVille This Holiday Season
The world is officially in "Countdown to Christmas" mode and now, so are we. Every day until Christmas we'll be featuring a hotel that's in a holiday mood--whether it be with gigantic gingerbread houses, over-the-top Christmas decorations, thrilling lighting displays and best of all, Santa appearances. But of course, any hotel can assemble a fake tree, put on some lights and declare themselves "festive." Which is why we're looking at hotels that are really going ALL OUT. Know of a hotel that's super excited for Christmas? Let us know!
The Four Seasons Austin got a jump on the holiday decorations last week, when they unveiled their Dr. Seuss-themed Gingerbread WhoVillage, a gingerbread replica of the town of Whoville from How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Conceived by the hotel's pastry chefs back in August, the WhoVillage features a Mt. Crumpet, Cindy Lou Who's house, a giant Town Center Christmas Tree, a Welcome to Whoville Sign and a train that looks like the Grinch's stolen bag of toys.
All in all, the village features ten houses made entirely out of edible materials (each one also takes the team of pasty chefs about 30 hours to construct.) Additionally, each house is sold to a sponsor and the proceeds are donated to the Seton Shivers Cancer Center. Sorry, we don't think sponsors can eat the house until the display comes down on January 1st.

More New Hotels are Opening in Austin, Napa, Detroit and New Orleans
We've already had a busy morning as far as new hotels news goes. But there's even more. Here's a short list of new hotels coming to a city near you:
· Hotel Van Zandt, Austin: Kimpton Hotels will open a new hotel in Austin in 2015 in the city's historic Rainey Street District. The 16-story hotel will feature 322 guest rooms, over 12,000 square feet total event and meeting space, achef-driven restaurant, lobby cafe and pool deck and bar. Interior designer Mark Zeff will oversee the interior design of the Hotel Van Zandt and its restaurant. Kimpton has also made announcements for new properties in Savannah, San Antonio, Milwaukee, Palm Springs, Sedona and Grand Cayman so there will be lots more Kimptons to choose from in the coming years.
· Fairmont Austin: Speaking of Austin, construction should begin on the new Fairmont Hotel at 101.Red River Street later this fall, according to this report. The 1,000-room hotel will cost nearly half a billion to build and should open sometime in 2016.
· The Archer Napa: The Archer in New York City hasn't opened yet (that's happening early next year) but already they've announced a second Archer Hotel for Napa Valley. The Archer Napa will be a new-build luxury hotel at the First Street site of the former Merrill's building, adjacent to The Shops at Napa Center. LogdeWorks and Zapolski Real Estate have partnered up on the seven-story property which will reflect "a casual elegance, organic to the Napa aesthetic. " No opening date has been set yet.

7 Unlucky Hotels That Just Can't Catch A Break
In honor of St Patrick's Day coming up this Sunday, we thought we'd take a look back at a few hotels that just can't seem to catch a break. If any leprechauns are reading this right now, take note. You've got your work cut out for you!
#7: Le Parker Meridien.
We thought it was bad enough when a random construction accident managed to flood the entire Knave Cafe at LPM. But it turned out the hotel had more bad luck coming, when Hurricane Sandy tore through Manhattan, toppling a nearby crane, and causing Le Parker Meridien to be evacuated. Here's to a cheerier 2013.
#6: JW Marriott Chicago.
The JW Marriott Chicago made plenty of headlines (though not the good kind) this past fall when an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease claimed the lives of three guests who stayed there over the sumer. The Chicago Dept of Public Health reported that the hotel "fully cooperated with the ongoing investigation," and concluded by saying there was no further health threat at the hotel. Still, we're probably going to lay off those hot tub parties for a while.
#5: Revel Resort.
This $2.6 billion resort was supposed to be the saving grace of Atlantic City, but after barely a year of being open, it announced it was planning to file for bankruptcy. Ouch! Hurricane Sandy couldn't have helped things either. We feel like they need a lucky charm or something to bring them back from the dark side, but then again, if a four-night Beyonce run during opening weekend didn't manage to do it, we're not sure what will.
Four more unlucky hotels after the jump!

Austin's The Driskill Will Now Become A Hyatt Hotel
As many people already know, Austin, TX is currently in the midst of the South By Southwest festival, in which music venues, event spaces, and, yes, hotels, are overrun with artists, musicians, filmmakers, tech start-up hopefuls, and pretty much anyone with a bent towards modern-day media culture.
Which makes this a pretty good time for Hyatt to announce their recent acquisition of the city's historic Driskill Hotel. The Statesman reports that Hyatt bought the iconic hotel (and classic SXSW celeb hangout) for $85 million, and plans to spend another $8 million renovating the place over the next two years.
Comprised of 189 rooms, and originally built in 1886, the Driskill occupies a bustling corner of downtown Austin and remains the city's most beloved historic hotel.
According to hotel lore, the original structure was named after Jesse Driskill, a cattleman who wanted to build the "finest hotel south of St. Louis." Looks like he had the right idea, as 126 years later, the hotel is not only thriving, but also incorporates its colorful past into its current identity (case in point: the Cattle Baron Suite).

Westin Returns To Austin For Fairmont And Marriott Face-Off
A room at the Westin Austin at the Domain
2015 will be a busy year for Austin, Texas. We've looked at the 50-story Fairmont Austin that will add 1,000+ rooms on the corner of Cesar Chavez and Red River Streets, promising views-galore over Lady Bird Lake and the city. Another 1,000+ rooms come courtesy of the JW Marriott Austin, on Congress Avenue between 2nd and 3rd Streets.
If all of that wasn't enough, Starwood has just announced the Westin Austin Downtown, on East 5th and San Jacinto, opening in spring 2015. With its 326 rooms, that means hotel capacity will increase by a staggering 2,400 rooms within a five-block radius.

In Texas, Bigger Isn't Necessarily Better At The Omni Austin's New Suites
After a drawn-out renovation process that completely overhauled the top five floors of the building, Omni Austin has reconfigured its suite options, creating twenty-five new one-bedroom suites.
Though the hotel had previously offered suites, it nixed a bunch of the pre-existing two-bedroom suites in order to cut down on space that guests apparently weren't even using. Which sounds a little strange when we put it like that—Texas is generally known for doing everything bigger than the rest of the country. However, if it's a space efficiency issue, then we totally get it. Bigger is better, most of the time. Until, that is, you end up paying for extra beds you're not even sleeping in...

A Massive Fairmont Hotel is Coming to Austin in 2015
It may be a ways off but come 2015, attendees at the South by Southwest festival will have an additional 1,000 hotel rooms open to them, thanks to Fairmont Hotels.
The high-end hotel chain announced their plans for a new hotel close to the Austin Convention Center at the northeast corner of Cesar Chavez and Red River Streets. which will span 50 stories, making it the largest building in downtown Austin. Detes are still scant but the hotel will cost about $350 million to build and will feature over 70,000-sq.ft. of function space and the aforementioned 1,000 hotel rooms.
The hotel's design will also use several green building elements and will seek LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. But best of all, guests here will be able to get free WiFi so long as they join the Fairmont Presidents Club loyalty program. Sigh, too bad it's three years away though.

A Hotel Stay Is Never Boring When Jedis Fight In The Lobby
In the ever-expanding universe of Twitter, there is one particular trend @HotelChatter happens to quite enjoy: candid hotel photos. These pics range from stunning views to anti-views to celebrity tomfoolery and everything in between. And we can't get enough of 'em! Every Monday, we commemorate our favorite "Twitpic of the Week." Got a favorite of your own? Want to show off your sweet suite? Send it in!
We don't know exactly what might have prompted this awesome public display of nerd-dom (Star Wars convention? Flashmob? Family reunion?), but we are so very glad @k4ng took the time to capture these saber-wielding Jedis in the lobby of the Renaissance Austin. And what better place: with all the rooms looking down onto the lobby, pretty much every guest had front row seats to the show!
On our last visit to Austin, most of the hotels were full up with SXSW musicians, filmmakers, attendees and media types. But clearly, the real magic happens about a month later...

Ooh-ing and Aah-ing From The Glass Elevators At Omni Austin
You don't really want to look down when you're plunging nineteen stories in a glass elevator. But of course, you do look down. Because the view is awesome. Here's a quick snapshot we took from inside the elevator at Omni Austin, which, we admit, we rode like a five-year-old on a Ferris wheel over and over again.
Interestingly, the hotel is housed under the same roof as an office tower. So when you look down on the lobby from above, you can also look directly across and into the windows of the neighboring offices. Whose occupants didn't look nearly as amused to be inside their glass cages as we were to be inside ours. Then again, theirs weren't motorized.

Old-School Roadside Motor Court Hotels Will Soon Be Popping Up All Over Southeastern USA
Nevermind the untold legions of Best Westerns, La Quinta Inns and Econolodges that dot highways all around the country. A Texas-based hotel company is attempting to bring back the classic American motor court with a new brand of "ranch tech" properties that are modeled on the old roadside motels from the 1950s.
Which technically went out of style in the 60s during Eisenhower's Federal Aid Highway Act. But hey, that was fifty years ago, and who's to say Americans still can't be thrilled by a cool motel concept? The first of these, named the Lone Star Court, will open in Austin in 2013, and, appropriately, will feature live music, a fire pit, and a dipping pool.

Menstruation will start at the onset of puberty and end at the beginning of menopause.
In many women, various intense sensations brought about by the involved hormones and by cramping of the uterus can precede or accompany menstruation.
Stronger sensations may include significant menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), abdominal pain, migraine headaches, depression, emotional sensitivity, feeling bloated, changes in sex drive and nausea.
Dysmenorrhea, or severe uterine pain, is particularly common for adolescents and young women (one study found that 67.2% of girls aged 13-19 suffer from it).
Breast swelling and discomfort caused by premenstrual water retention or hormone women.
Binge eating occurs in a minority of menstruating women. This may be due to fluctuation in beta-endorphin levels. More severe symptoms may be classified as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). The sensations experienced vary from woman to woman and from cycle to cycle.
Some women experience emotional disturbances associated with menstruation. These range from the irritability popularly associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS), to tiredness, or "weepiness" (i.e. tears of emotional closeness). A similar range of emotional effects and mood swings is associated with pregnancy.
The prevalence of PMS is estimated to be between 3% and 30%. Rarely, in individuals susceptible to psychotic episodes, menstruation may be a trigger (menstrual psychosis).
The normal menstrual flow follows a "crescendo-decrescendo" pattern; that is, it starts at a moderate level, increases somewhat, and then slowly tapers.
Sudden heavy flows or amounts in excess of 80 mL (''hypermenorrhea'' or ''menorrhagia'') may stem from hormonal disturbance, uterine abnormalities, including uterine leiomyoma or cancer, and other causes. Doctors call the opposite phenomenon, of bleeding very little, ''hypomenorrhea''.
The typical woman bleeds for two to seven days at the beginning of each menstrual cycle. Prolonged bleeding (''metrorrhagia'', also ''meno-metrorrhagia'') no longer shows a clear interval pattern. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is hormonally caused bleeding abnormalities.
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding typically occurs in premenopausal women who do not ovulate normally (i.e. are anovulatory). All these bleeding abnormalities need medical attention; they may indicate hormone imbalances, uterine fibroids, or other problems. As pregnant patients may bleed, a pregnancy test forms part of the evaluation of abnormal bleeding.

County Official: I-66 Doesn't Need More Lanes — Arlington County officials have repeatedly expressed opposition to widening I-66 inside the Beltway. Now one county official is even decrying a proposal to add lanes to I-66 outside of the Beltway.

Problems for Potomac Yard Metro — The location of a future Potomac Yard Metro station is in doubt after the National Park Service raised concerns about the station's visibility from the George Washington Parkway.

More Homes Awaiting the Wrecking Ball — Another 11 homes are set to be torn down in Arlington, after applying for demolition permits in February. The group Preservation Arlington says three are located in historic districts. "The looming demolition of these houses and buildings represents an incredible loss of history, architecture, time, energy, and materials," the group writes. "Many had the potential for renovation and additions, or, at a bare minimum, reclamation/reuse of building materials." The group is currently seeking nominations for its annual "Most Endangered Historic Places" list. [Preservation Arlington]

The Arlington County Board is set to approve a $10.2 million construction contract to build a network of dedicated bus lanes in Crystal City and Potomac Yard.
The construction is part of the Crystal City Potomac Yard Transitway Project, a project that, when completed, will see a bus rapid transit system connect from Crystal City and Pentagon City down to the Braddock Road Metrorail Station in Alexandria.
The project's construction is expected to start this spring and last for 10 months. Alexandria's portion of the Transitway is already under construction, according to county staff. In Arlington, the bus will operate in dedicated lanes near Potomac Yard, with stops on Crystal Drive, S. Bell Street, Clark Street, 15th Street, 20th Street and 26th Street.
During morning and evening rush hours, the buses — which will be a new 9X Metrobus route — will use a dedicated lane south on S. Bell and Clark Streets and north on Crystal Drive, replacing an existing traffic lane. The lane will be open to normal traffic during other times.
A little more than $1 million of the project's funds will come from county funds and bonds, while the rest will come from state and federal transit grants, according to the county's staff report. The project is designed to support the redevelopment of Potomac Yard and provide another transit option for commuters and residents of the Jefferson Davis Highway corridor.
Last year, Metro announced that the Transitway would be WMATA's first BRT service. The dedicated lanes are expected to expedite travel times and keep buses running on a more reliable schedule.
An Arlington gym-goer was followed and flashed after leaving the facility on Saturday, police said today.
Police say a man left the L.A. Fitness on the 3500 block of S. Clark Street, near Potomac Yard, just before 8:00 p.m. He was followed to his apartment by another man. Once inside the apartment lobby, the suspect exposed himself, then fled the scene on foot.
"The suspect is described as a black male in his 30s, approximately 6'1" and 230 pounds," police said in the daily crime report. "At the time of the incident the suspect was wearing a black knit winter hat, a black hooded sweatshirt with red dots and blue jeans. The investigation is ongoing."
A new temporary staircase and accessible path has been built near Potomac Yard.
The path leads from Potomac Avenue, behind the Eclipse condominium building, to the Four Mile Run trail.
The access way is a "long-term detour" that was installed as part of the Four Mile Run Restoration Project and a bridge demolition project, according to Arlington Dept. of Environmental Services spokeswoman Jennifer Heilman.
The Harris Teeter store near Potomac Yard, which has been closed since May 2012 after being flooded with raw sewage, will hold its grand reopening in two weeks.
The store, at 3600 S. Glebe Road, will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 23. Events will also be held that weekend in honor of the reopening.
The store will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
From a Harris Teeter press release:
The 44,000 square foot store, part of The Eclipse luxury mixed-use development, underwent a complete renovation including: all new flooring; new drywall and paint; updated equipment; wooden display cases; new fixtures; an expanded seating area; an expanded floral department; new prepared food stations including pizza, an Asian hot bar, and a made-to-order sandwich bar; and sustainable décor elements. The Company also re-designed its pharmacy to feature an open floor plan that will allow our pharmacists to better serve their customers.
In each of its stores, including its location at Potomac Yard, Harris Teeter considered sustainable building design throughout its re-design process. The refrigerated cases will feature motion detection lighting; the company will also install doors with LED lights on the refrigerated cases as well as LED spotlighting throughout the store to reduce energy consumption. Harris Teeter originally installed both an energy management lighting system and a heat reclamation system in this store and will continue to utilize these technologies to reduce energy waste.
Harris Teeter's insurers are currently suing Arlington County for more than $1 million to recover losses caused by the sewage backup.
The former Melody Tavern, near Potomac Yard, is becoming a child care center.
Located at 3650 S. Glebe Road, Melody Tavern was a bar/restaurant that hosted live music. It closed in October 2012 after 10 months in business.
The space is now being renovated and will become the new location of the Crystal City Children's Center. The parent-run cooperative child care center opened in 1987 and is currently located at 1900 S. Eads Street.
The new location will allow Crystal City Children's Center to expand from 64 to 108 children, according to Luellen Matthews, director of the center. Among other features of the new center will be a state-of-the-art secure entryway, she said. Workers could be seen yesterday taking down old Melody Tavern signs and replacing them with Children's Center signs.
"We expect to re-locate by late October," Matthews told ARLnow.com.
The Harris Teeter at 3600 S. Glebe Road, near Potomac Yard, is getting closer to reopening.
The grocery store closed in May 2012 after it was flooded with raw sewage, the result of a clog at the nearby Arlington County Water Pollution Control Plant. The contents of the store were scrapped, and construction on a brand new interior has been underway since this spring, when the company announced plans to reopen later this year.
Harris Teeter is now hiring personnel for the store, according to a number of online job listings posted over the past 10 days. The store reapplied for a Virginia ABC wine and beer license and keg permit on Monday.
The store will reopen at some point in October, Harris Teeter spokeswoman Catherine Becker told ARLnow.com yesterday.
A ceremonial swinging of sledgehammers kicked off the demolition of an old bridge over Four Mile Run this morning.
The bridge, located between Potomac Avenue and Route 1 near Potomac Yard, was used by trains until the late 1980s when the railroad was decommissioned. It has since sat out of use, overgrown with vegetation.
Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.), County Board Vice Chair Jay Fisette and Alexandria Mayor William Euille were at the bridge Monday morning, sledgehammers in hand, to announce the start of demolition, which will get fully underway in two weeks. The demolition is expected to be completed by April.
The bridge is being taken down to create open space above Four Mile Run, which environmental officials from both jurisdictions say will allow the stream to grow vegetation and develop a healthier ecology. Moran recalled a large flood in the 1970s, after which the local governments decided to pour in concrete. The concrete mitigated flood impacts but wound up damaging the stream's ecosystem, Moran said.
"The vegetation serves its purpose if you allow it to grow," Moran said, "and this does."
The Pulte Group, which owns the Potomac Yards development adjacent to Four Mile Run, will fund the $3.5 million demolition and the stabilization of the stream banks. After the demolition, Alexandria and Arlington will jointly fund a new, urban-style park on another unused bridge, adjacent to Potomac Avenue.
The plan to transform the area started in 2006 when both jurisdictions passed the Four Mile Run Restoration Master Plan, and has been helmed by the Arlington/Alexandria Four Mile Run Redesign Task Force.
"We finally are seeing these plans come to fruition," Moran said. "We've been waiting 25 years for a ribbon cutting here, and now we've got a sledgehammer smashing."
Plans to open a new law school in Arlington have fallen through, ARLnow.com has learned exclusively.
In April, the Arlington County Board quietly approved a site plan amendment for the vacant National Gateway building at 3500 and 3550 S. Clark Street, along Jefferson Davis Highway near Potomac Yard. The amendment was granted to allow the office building to be used for educational purposes.
Specifically, the building was to be occupied by a new 1,300-student law school, complete with 22 classrooms, a law library, a bookstore, a moot courtroom and a cafe.
Since April, however, no construction permits have been issued for the building. InfiLaw System, a Florida-based consortium of independent law schools that was planning to open the new school, now says that plans have fallen through, at least for now.
"The InfiLaw System was exploring opening a law school in Arlington, Virginia," confirmed Kathy Heldman, the organization's vice president of marketing, via email last night. "We have decided to put the initiative on hold."
No word yet on whether InfiLaw might revive the law school plans at some point in the near future. The decision is another blow to Arlington's commercial real estate market, which is reeling from the National Science Foundation's decision to move to Alexandria and the Fish and Wildlife Service's expected decision to move to the Skyline area of Fairfax County.

(Updated at 5:15 p.m.) The Harris Teeter store at 3600 S. Glebe Road, near Potomac Yard, will reopen later this year, the company announced this afternoon.
The store has been closed since last May, when it was flooded with raw sewage due to a clog at the nearby Arlington County Water Pollution Control Plan.
Over the weekend, residents of the Eclipse condominium building above the store delivered some 400 signed letters from residents to the Arlington County Board, calling for the county to help facilitate the store's reopening.
Construction will begin "within the next few weeks," according to a press release from Comstock, owner of the 465-unit Eclipse building.
In a press release, Harris Teeter says the renovated S. Glebe Road store will reopen in "late fall 2013″ — in time for this year's holiday season. The press release made no reference to the sewage incident.
Harris Teeter is pleased to announce it will open its Potomac Yard location located at 3600 South Glebe Road in Arlington, Va. in fall 2013. The 44,000 square foot store, part of the Comstock Partners residential building, closed in May 2012 and is undergoing complete renovation. The renovation will include all new flooring; new drywall and paint; updated equipment; wooden display cases; new fixtures; an expanded seating area; an expanded floral department; new prepared food stations including pizza, an Asian hot bar, and a made-to-order sandwich bar; and sustainable décor elements. The Company also re-designed its pharmacy to feature an open floor plan that will allow our pharmacists to better serve their customers.
Harris Teeter considered sustainable building design throughout its re-design process. The refrigerated cases will feature motion detection lighting; the company will also install doors with LED lights on the refrigerated cases as well as LED spotlighting throughout the store to reduce energy consumption. Harris Teeter originally installed both an energy management lighting system and a heat reclamation system in this store and will continue to utilize these technologies to reduce energy waste.
Harris Teeter looks forward to opening its Potomac Yard store and being a part of the community once again. We appreciate our customers' patience while the store has been closed as well as their loyalty. We will continue to post updates on harristeeter.com when new information is available.

New Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service will be coming to Pentagon City, Crystal City and Potomac Yard next year.
Metro is planning to launch a new bus line, the 9X line, to run in dedicated transit lanes between parts of south Arlington and Alexandria. The Alexandria portion — to run from the Braddock Road Metro station to Potomac Yard via Route 1 — is expected to open in spring 2014. The Arlington portion — from the Pentagon City Metro station to the Crystal City Metro station to Potomac Yard — is expected to open in summer or fall 2014, according to Arlington County Senior Transit Engineer Matthew Huston.
At first, the line will travel in mixed traffic on 15th Street Pentagon City and Crystal City. Eventually it will utilize the extended and contiguous 12th Street. The line will travel south in new dedicated bus lanes along S. Clark and S. Bell Street, and north along Crystal Drive.
The bus lanes will take the place of an existing, standard travel lane. They will be reserved for buses and emergency vehicles only during the morning and evening rush hours, but will be open to mixed traffic during all other times. Street parking will not be impacted by the changes.
As part of the still-evolving plan for what's called the Crystal City-Potomac Yard Transitway, the existing 9S bus line will be extended to Potomac Yard and will run along the new dedicated lanes. The 9X and 9S will provide frequent service — every 6 minutes — and will serve a consolidated list of stops.
There will be seven new stops built in Arlington between Crystal City and Potomac Yard. Those stops will feature electronic information displays and other enhanced features. The buses will still serve on-street stops between the Crystal City and Pentagon City Metro stations.
The dedicated bus lanes will eventually be used as the right-of-way for the new Crystal City streetcar, though so far county officials aren't providing a timeline for its eventual construction.
Planning, design and construction of Arlington's portion of the transitway, which will also include the construction of new dedicated lanes between 26th Street and Glebe Road, is expected to cost the county about $17.5 million. Metro will pick up the tab for 13 new BRT-style buses, at a cost of about $650,000 apiece.
Metro is currently conducting an online survey about the design and branding of the buses. Possible names for the bus service include "Metro Beat" and "Metro Way." It also asks about possible nicknames for the bus line, with options like: Crystal to Brad Line, Power House Corridor, City to the Yard Corridor, Potomac Yard Corridor, Tower Corridor, and Jeff Davis Corridor.
In an introduction, the survey emphasized that this would be Metro's first BRT service.
Metro, in conjunction with Arlington County and the City of Alexandria will be introducing a new unique bus service to the region. Special stops and bus-only lanes will be introduced that will allow the bus to run on a very tight schedule. This corridor will be the first such service in the Washington region. Below is a map that shows the new route. The new service (sometimes called Bus Rapid Transit) will be different than anything the Washington region has seen before.
The Harris Teeter grocery store at 3600 S. Glebe Road near Potomac Yard will remain closed for the foreseeable future.
The store closed last May after it was flooded with raw sewage — an incident caused by a clog at the nearby Arlington County Water Pollution Control Plan. It has yet to reopen.
A Harris Teeter spokeswoman said the store will not reopen until the company can be assured that measures are in place to prevent another catastrophic sewage incident.
"We are actively working with both the county and our landlord to discuss solutions to make sure that which happened does not happen again," said company spokeswoman Danna Jones. "Once those solutions are implemented, we are ready to start work on the interior of the store, and at that point, Harris Teeter will make various public announcements to share the good news with everyone."
An Arlington County spokeswoman would not comment on whether the county was working with Harris Teeter to reduce the risk of another sewage backup or mitigate the effects of the May incident. The county did say that, so far, no lawsuits have been filed against the county in response to last year's sewage backup.
"I can confirm that no civil lawsuits have been filed," said Arlington County spokeswoman Mary Curtius.

Users of the Four Mile Run Trail will be able to connect directly, and safely, with Potomac Yard within a few years.
This weekend, the Arlington County Board is expected to approve an agreement with VDOT to design a trail connector from the Four Mile Run Trail to Potomac Avenue in Arlington. Potomac Avenue runs from Crystal City to the shops and new residential developments in the Potomac Yard section of Alexandria.
Currently, the Four Mile Run Trail connects with the west side of Route 1. One would then have to cross the busy thoroughfare to get to Potomac Yard. A steep, informal dirt path that connects directly from the trail to Potomac Avenue also exists, but can be difficult to climb.
County officials say the new trail connection will be accessible to those with disabilities.
"The trail connection will provide an ADA compliant multi-use trail connection between the Potomac Yard development on the north side of Four Mile Run (Arlington County) and the Four Mile Run Trail which is also on the north side of Four Mile Run (Arlington County)," wrote Shannon Whalen McDaniel, spokeswoman for the county's Department of Environmental Services. "The new trail connection will replace a informal dirt pathway (goat path) that currently exists along the steep embankment between Potomac Yard and the Four Mile Run Trail."
The design and engineering for the new trail connection is projected to cost $250,000. Of that, $190,000 will come from federal funds and $60,000 will come from Arlington County. The actual construction of the trail connector hasn't been funded yet, but is expected to be complete no later than 2016. No construction date has been set.

Summer Hiatus is over!
Hydroplayne has already practiced once, and done some more recording, so it is safe to say that although the summer isnt officially over, Summer Hiatus is.
The band is practicing twice this week (despite the fact that Sam has one of his frequent colds) and are playing at a party this Friday, the 16th of Setember. If you would like more information on this party, please contact Sam. It should be a good one to go to, since Hydroplayne is unveiling at least 2 new songs and are most likely playing some covers (something they've never really done much of before). Also playing will be the most excellent Dale Gribble Bluegrass Experience.
Thats about it for now, except that the release date for the Playne's Dreamcatcher EP has been pushed back again, to early October. The band is very unhappy about this and extends their apologies to those who are waiting with baited breath for their debut. Patience....patience
Happy Dreams

"Just made this pie crust as I botched baking a store bought one. Have to say this turned out delicious! I didn't have oil so I used shortening and had to use about twice the amount of milk and a couple tbs. of cold water. It's a lovely sweet crust that I will be making again. Thanks!"
"Super Yummy! Thanks for sharing I will be sure to make this again:)"
"Yummers!Never made grits before but these turned out creamy and delicious:) I sauteed in a small red onion and finished with grated cheese and pepper. Will be making this again, tx for sharing!"
"First time making roasted Brussel Sprouts, so Yummy! I will be making these again soon:) I cut mine in half and tossed in some olive oil and salt, then baked them for about 15-20 mins on each side at 400'. They were amazing, then I tossed them with some sauteed chestnuts and chantrelles. A wonderful Harvest meal. Thanks for posting:)"
"Super Tasty! I just finished making these, love the orange flavor with the ginger. I didn't have spelt so I used whole wheat flour and added some spices along with fresh ginger. I did a calorie count for the flour and they would work out to be around 60 calories per cookie with everything else. Thanks for sharing this great recipe:)"
"Wonderful Muffins, thanks for posting!!I did modify the recipe a bit using whole wheat flour, oats, 1/2 cup of applesauce, 1/4 cup of yogurt (could use all applesauce for vegan muffins), and no egg instead I used 1/2 tbs. flax seed ground, I also added in some spices and used natural panela sugar (brown sugar).I ended up using a larger muffin ..."
"made these for a dinner party the other night and they were a huge success! Will be making them again for sure, and I think they would also be great with some spreadable goat/sheep cheese, or some kind of herbed cream cheese. Thanks for sharing :)"
"I made this tonight for my lunches this week. It is delicious! I subbed organic almond butter instead of the peanut butter and it worked out wonderfully.Thank you!!"
"This was a very nice fresh dish. Wonderful cold, you could really taste the Bok Choi through the marinade. We found it needed a little salt to balance out the soy and bring up the sweetness. All around it has an nice flavor balance. Thanks!"
"I really enjoyed this sauce! The flavors balanced well, I used water instead of stock and only about 1/2 a cup as I used it as a pizza sauce. I will be making this again, thanks for sharing!"

Comments, questions and tips
Tried this last night, an instant hit, with me and my husband, and, to my surprise, our fussy 5 year old and our 8 month old (who went back for thirds!!!).
I found the sauce hadn't thickened by the time I was ready to slice the chicken, but I just turned the heat up while I was getting the potato and chicken served up, and by the time I was ready to add it to the plates, it had turned more syrupy. The flavours were gorgeous together. I will certainly be making this again!
Really easy to make with great results. Cooked the chicken for much longer than 3mins each side but thats just me, I like to make sure its fully cooked. I added in a good handful of dried apricots chopped up and a good handful of sultanas and cooked these together with the onions, which I cooked for longer so they were lovely and soft. Simmered the whole thing in a sauté pan with the lid on for longer, around 15-20mins, came out beautifully, the sauce had gone syrupy and so sweet with the apricots and honey. The spices from the chicken added to this, lovely flavours. I couldn't get ras-el-hanout so used 1tbsp each of cumin and cinnamon. I served with Moroccan cous cous but that's just my preference. Made lovely leftovers the next day too :)

Protecting Bold Voices
I'm Noha Atef, a blogger from Egypt. I've been blogging on Tortureinegypt.net since 2006, reporting horrible torture crimes and violence against innocent citizens. There are unbelievable stories that have been going on, but more would happen if I and others didn't speak up. If people don't know about these crimes, they will not resist them.
Do you know that my blog became a point of reference to people interested in the cause of torture? And thousands of readers are visiting it everyday. Do you know how it all started? The beginning was just a word. I read a testimony of a torture victim, was shocked, then decided to start blogging about it.
I'm sure one of the readers of tortureinegypt.net was motivated by a word he/she read on the blog and started something, perhaps something more effective than what I did.
My dear comrade, the word is a great power. That's why authorities will not be happy to find people keeping the 'Power of Word' and censor them. Dictators don't want anyone else to have the power. Can't you imagine how you are a person powerful enough to disturb a system?! So, you should never take off your arm, don't stop reporting.
I know that a 'person' cannot stand against a 'system' or a regime. You might, and pay the price of revealing the truth, but you should be sure that eventually you are the winner! You know, I lost my job in 2007 after starting blogging, which sounds bad, right? But NO, I had a better one, and later I got even a better and better other one. I mean when you fall down don't ever think that's all or have the attitude of "Ah! I will not take this way again!" but stand up on your feet, remove the dust from your self and keep up with more confident steps.
Comrade, I know that sometimes you feel that getting arrested is quite possible, and unfortunately that's true! But you should not let it turn into a 'phobia'; just think about how you will deal with your arrest. I recommend you let some of your sincere friends know your whereabouts when you're going to a place you think police could take you from. It's a good idea to save an 'I'm arrested' message on your mobile, so you can send it quickly to your friends if something happened. Also, don't forget to give your friend a backup of your to-be-published-online work along with the contacts of your emails. These email address will be helpful if you are arrested, to let people know and ask for your freedom.
My dear truth revealer, you should find others who are on the running on the same track you are in and network with them. You will be both inspired and inspiring, and you will find people who are always in solidarity with you. I'd like to be one of them!
I'm glad and honored to find a way to speak to you. Thanks for World Pulse and, I'm looking forward to reading/watching your work.
Best wishes & greetings from Cairo,
Thanks so much Noha!
E se gan an, my dear Noha, it means thanks so much in Yoruba language, western Nigeria. this is a cool lesson from our teacher and these points are well noted! How I wish we can achieve more, work harder and become that VOICE, May God continue to protect you. sometimes to me It seems as is torture is part of this world, the instrument for breaking the defenseless and we must continue to raise their voice through ours, even when these so called cruel leaders believe that they have broken them down. We will continue to write and note these points too.
Thanks so much for taking your time to write to Worldpulsarians!

Complete your degree

What are Hybrid College Courses?
Hybrid college courses are an alternative method to online and traditional college courses. You can complete your college education through a mix of online and campus-based course instruction that accommodates the busy student with a demanding schedule. Hybrid courses typically feature 50% in a classroom environment and 50% in an online format. You have the choice to blend campus-based classes with online classes. Depending on your schedule, you can select the option that best fits your lifestyle. Hybrid courses provide the benefit of face-to-face instruction while online instruction offers flexibility and convenience.Each individual course provides specific classroom dates and times, while online instruction uses any combination of various methods, such as video, audio, document files, discussion boards, and chat rooms. You can enjoy the campus experience by participating in campus-based presentations and oral lectures while interacting with instructors through written communications in your online courses. You have the ability to create a learning schedule that fits your needs with this flexible option.
Are Hybrid Courses Right for You?
To be successful in Hybrid courses, you are expected to have some computer and technical skills. You must be able to attend campus-based classes as well as online classes and you should:
- Have Internet access
- Have an e-mail account
- Be organized
- Have good reading, writing and studying skills
- Manage your time
- Be able to complete assignments in a timely fashion
- Maintain a class calendar
- Be able to meet deadlines
- Be self-motivated
- Stay on schedule
Instructors use the hybrid method, using computer based technologies, to redesign some lab content or lecture information into online learning activities, such as tutorials, self-testing exercises, case studies as well as online group collaborations. You need to be familiar with your computer's operating system and know how to open, save and send files. You should know how to browse the web for research and have an e-mail program as you will be communicating with your instructor and classmates via the Internet when you are not in the classroom. You have flexibility using the Hybrid method to earn your degree.
What is the Advantage of Hybrid Courses?
The advantage of Hybrid courses is that they make it easy for more people to get a college education because of the limited on-campus attendance, not to mention the obvious academic advantages. One of the biggest advantages of the Hybrid courses is that they are accessible from more places to more people. Instructors can teach courses through active-learning assignments over the Internet rather that having their students sit in a lecture hall taking notes. Other advantages to the Hybrid courses are that it frees up classroom space and reduces traffic on campus. Hybrid courses help encourage self-directed learning, problem solving, time management, and critical-thinking skills and also improve computer and writing skills. Because of the online classroom participation, students are more likely to get involved in discussions because they are not physically speaking in front of a classroom and are more confident. Even though the Hybrid method is fairly new, professors are reporting a high rate of success.

Griffin: CR Keeps Government Running and Saves Billions, But Only a Band Aid Because Neither President Nor Senate Is Serious about Reform
WASHINGTON – Congressman Tim Griffin (AR-02) issued the following statement after supporting House passage of the Continuing Appropriations Resolution (CR – H.J.Res. 117):
"This legislation saves hardworking American taxpayers more than $26 billion compared to last year. That's not enough, but it's the best path forward with a Democratically-controlled White House and Senate. I'm hopeful that next year will bring the possibility of real, bold reform, before it's too late."
H.J.Res. 117 would extend discretionary funding for six months. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), it would provide $1.047 trillion in funding on an annualized basis. Including $99.9 billion in funding for Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism and $6.4 billion for disaster relief, total spending in the bill is $26.7 billion below total FY 2012 spending levels, according to the CBO.
