Apple Scores $30M iPad Contract from L.A. School District, Launches "Apple Camp" for Youngsters

Apple is trying to rope 'em in early
Los Angeles students will receive
iPads for their studies
thanks to a recent $30 million contract with Apple.
Apple scored the $30 million contract from the L.A. Unified School District this week, which will deploy iPads to all students throughout 47 campuses.
The Board of Education voted 6 to 0 on Tuesday to approve the contract after receiving positive input about iPad use from teachers and students. The iPad was also the least expensive device.
The L.A. Unified School District is paying $678 per iPad, which will come pre-loaded with educational software, but won't include a keyboard.
The school district also committed to spending "hundreds of millions of dollars" with Apple over the next two years, since they chose the company as their only tablet vendor.
The iPads have a three-year warranty that includes free replacement devices up to 5 percent of the value of the purchase price.
The $30 million for Apple's iPads is a steep contract price, but the L.A. district insisted on the measure because new state and national tests will be taken on computers, and it doesn't want its students falling behind on computer skills. Also, the software will help students in the classroom and after school for studying.
However, there are many concerns floating around the new agreement with Apple. Chief Strategy Officer Matt Hill complained that the funding came from facility bonds, which could have been used for construction instead. The teachers union wanted the money to be used for the hiring of new teachers.
Aside from school staff and officials, Microsoft has a beef to pick with the L.A. Unified School District too, and I bet you can guess why. That's right -- it wants its Surface tablets to be adopted by school districts so that students start using the Windows operating system early, and this will hopefully lead to loyalty to the OS as they upgrade over the years.
Robyn Hines, senior director of state government affairs for Microsoft, said that using only one platform throughout the district would limit options, such as innovations/price cuts from other companies and students' ability to learn platforms they'd find in the workplace (such as Windows).
Last week, Microsoft announced that it was
giving away 10,000 Surface RT tablets
to teachers at the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). The idea was to spread RT adoption in schools by supplying teachers with the devices and even training them how to use it. Microsoft is also expected to announce its "Microsoft Surface for education limited time offer" this month, which will offer $199
Surface RTs
(normally retails for $499) to schools and colleges interested in adopting the tablets. If the schools want a touch keyboard with their Surface RT, the total price is $249 (retail $599) and with a type keyboard, the cost is $289 (retail $629).
The offer will reportedly run until August 31, 2013.
Microsoft is also trying to expand Surface RT's capabilities by employing
Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors
for the next generation.
Apple has been making its way into classrooms around the U.S. for years now. In 2011, Maine
spent $200,000
to supply its kindergarteners with iPads. Later that year, the iPad entered other
elementary schools
, such as a third-grade classroom in Millstone, New Jersey.
Aside from the $30,000 L.A. Unified School District contract, Apple is using other ways to pull kids into its platform early:
Apple Camp
Apple Camp is a three-day, creative workshop for children ages 8-12. It will be held at Apple Retail Stores, and allows kids to film footage and create songs using iMovie and GarageBand on a Mac. After the three days are complete, the children present their work at the Apple Camp Film Festival.

RE: a little bias here?
Of course, a PC helps on some topics. It has a physical keyboard, large screen, and that's pretty essential to any workplace environment because it works really really well for almost anything you want to do.
An iPad is a cut down PC with a small screen, no physical keyboard, and limited creative/work value. They are consumer devices to make some tasks easier while on the move or sitting on a couch.
A laptop would appear to have the most value for education. Cheap as dirt, very similar to a full PC, sufficiently portable, and did I mention cheap as dirt?
Why are schools wasting money on €700 toys?!

Gulf telcoms bet on data as growth ebbs
Telcos face numbers challenge as only a sixth of subscribers access data through handsets even as the UAE posts the highest mobile penetration in the world.
May 18, 2011 5:34 by Reuters
Operators could create new business models more reflective of actual network usage, upping data charges and slashing voice tariffs, said Martin Mabbutt, Nomura telecoms analyst.
"The difference in voice and data pricing is just a legacy of history," he said. "Data revenues will inexorably rise. Fundamentally, it's a question of increasing the number of data users. All customers are using their phones for voice, but only a fraction are using data beside SMS."
Vodafone Qatar appears to have found a way to navigate from voice to data without much of the pain that its regional peers appear to be experiencing.
Like du, Vodafone Qatar, which began operations in 2009, has targeted low-income residents. The operator offers subscribers free access to social networking sites such as Facebook and now has a 45 percent share of the Qatar market and a 25 percent revenue share.
Vodafone Qatar users also get 10 megabytes of free data per month if they recharge at least once and more than half of subscribers now use mobile internet.
"Data usage is through the roof," said DeEtte Christie, Vodafone Qatar head of online. "In a market like Qatar, the majority don't have access to a PC, but everybody has a cell phone. By giving customers free megabytes, they become comfortable and adopt additional consumption. For many, the free megabytes are "training wheels" for the mobile web."
The most popular sites are social media, followed by forums and community-generated content and news sites, both local and from expats' home countries, said Khalifa Saleh Haroon, Vodafone Qatar head of online and corporate strategy.
"You can get online on low-end handsets now, even a poor 2G Handset," added Christie. "It might not be the experience you or I want, but for someone where this is the way they can talk to their friends and family back home, they are going to do it."
Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, is a unique market where mobile broadband services have made significant inroads, due to poor fixed internet access across the kingdom.
For every three mobile phone users, there are two for mobile broadband subscriptions — the sixth highest ratio globally — according to data by the International Telecommunications Union.
Saudi Arabia's conservative social and religious rules — women are not allowed to drive and mixing with the opposite sex is strictly controlled — have fuelled this demand for value-added mobile services.
BlackBerry Messenger and Facebook are often the easiest way for Saudi Arabia's young population — about two-thirds are under 30 — to communicate, a fact not lost on Etihad Etisalat (Mobily), with data accounting for about 18 percent of the operator's revenues last year. Mobily also has a 70 percent share of Saudi Arabia's mobile broadband market, with more than a tenth of its 22 million subscribers also active data users.
"Our growth is fuelled by that (mobile data) — how much more can you charge for phone calls?" said Medhat Amer, Mobily chief information officer. "We have created new usage scenarios by promoting smart phones aggressively." (By Matt Smith; Editing by Reed Stevenson and Mark Heinrich)

How do I save a file as a PDF using revit via Parallels. In my Auto Cad Architecture I have a dwg to PDF file but don' t see it in revit. Help!!!!!
You'll have to download a pdf generator to basically act as a printer.
Cute PDF Writer hasn't failed me yet
Are you serious? I have to download/install another program to print a PDF from Revit.
Autocad to PDf worked so well before!
Can Autodesk Design Review open/view Revit files?
Hi. sorry about the other empty post. Actually you can print directly from Revit to PDF similar to what you would do with autocad. You do need a pdf creation program however installed on your computer. I have the abobe acrobat pro, some have the cutepdf, and so on. You can easily install one free online and use it.
You can also print to design review, and compile (similar to PDF) into one file or multiple files.
Parallels Desktop 9 now includes a Print to PDF (Mac Desktop) printer that is added to the Virtual Windows Machine by default IF "Add all Mac printers" in Configure->Hardware->Print is selected.
When you print from Revit it saves it to the mac desktop. COOL.

Workouts for mom, child to do together
Updated On: Apr 16 2014 10:19:08 AM EDT
Trying to find time to work out and spend time with your kids can be difficult. One way to keep you and your child healthy while spending quality time together is to exercise with your child.
These exercises can be done by both moms and children.
Playground workout: Going to the playground with your child can be a workout for both of you. Pumping your legs on the swings, going across the monkey bars and climbing ladders can all be calorie burners.
Push-ups: Push-ups are great exercises for adults and children because they can be modified to their strength level. Push-ups can be done the standard way with toes and hands on the floor, or they can be done from the knees.
Jogging/Walking: When you go for a walk or a jog, take your child with you. You can exercise along nature paths or around lakes or the beach.
Biking: Biking is a great family exercise. Kids can take their tricycles or even bikes with training wheels while the older children and adults ride their own bikes.
Yoga: Yoga is a workout parents and kids can do together. You can follow a DVD or book of poses in your home or you can look for a class in your community aimed at both adults and children.
Dancing: Kids love to dance and it's a great workout for parents. You don't have to take a formal dance class with your child; you can just dance in your own home to the music of your choice, or even play a dancing video game. You can also try to do a Zumba workout DVD together.
Swimming: Most kids love playing in the pool. Swimming is a great exercise and even playing some games in the shallow end can be a great workout as your body moves against the resistance of the water.
Children's games: Playing some kid-friendly games like tag can help both you and your child burn calories.

I'm a passionate, hard working, nerdy, witty girl who loves sports and craft beer. I've got a big heart and I give a lot to the people that I care about. I'm really close to family and friends, and it's important to me to have at least one meaningful conversation with an important person in my life every day. I love having people in my life who are witty and can take a joke plus make me laugh. A little edgy sarcasm goes a long way with me! I'm passionate about travel, interesting people and all the beautiful sites to see in the United States. Cooking is also a great way for me to relieve some stress. I guarantee I'll kick your butt in some kind of board game related challenge :) I'm easy-going and don't stress the small stuff but will stand up for things I believe in and hold strong to my values. Confident and well grounded and able to give more in a relationship. I'm a naturally compassionate and caring and it comes out a lot when I'm with those I care about. My ideal match would have similar personality traits including passion for their interests, a witty sense of humor (intelligence goes without saying), and he carries himself with confidence. I'm a little introverted, so someone who is a little more outgoing would be good, too. He is light hearted but still knows how to be serious and express his feelings openly and honestly when something is on his mind. He loves family, and might like to have his own someday :)

The merger of DNV and GL in September 2013, led to the creation of DNV GL, a world leading ship and offshore classification society, a leading independent service provider in the oil and gas sector, a powerhouse in energy and renewables, and one of the world's top three certification bodies.
Innovative projects are taking technology and standards to new, advanced levels in collaboration with customers.

The new visual identity with the three extended lines was created to symbolize our working context of sea, land and sky," explains Stefan Nerpin, Group Chief Communications Officer of DNV GL.
A merger for growth
The post-merger integration is progressing well and Group CEO Henrik O. Madsen says the new global entity is in "a good position to take on the first full year of operations as one company with a new brand: DNV GL. We want to build upon the knowledge and expertise throughout the group by creating new networks and learning from each other. Our goal is to make sure that we are always finding innovative solutions that create value and growth for our customers, ensuring that the world we leave behind is a better one that the one we find today," he concludes.

Some of William Vitale's patients should get another flu shot because the suspended doctor might have mixed the seasonal vaccine with other immunizations, warns the Nova Scotia Department of Health.
On Thursday, health officials said they are contacting the parents of 27 children who received a flu shot from Vitale in the fall of 2013 because they might not be effective.
"We know that the seasonal or H1N1 flu is active in Canada now," said Dr. Robin Taylor, medical officer of health for the Capital District Health Authority in a release.
"We also know that young children are especially vulnerable to the flu, so we're reaching out to parents to ensure their children are re-vaccinated quickly."
What do I do now?
Capital Health is offering a re-vaccination clinic for patients in the Halifax area who do not have a family physician.
The clinic opens, Jan. 8. To book an appointment at the clinic, call 902-481-5813.
They said patients should not go to emergency rooms and walk-in clinics, because they are not designed to perform routine immunizations.
Earlier, other families were warned about general problems with childhood shots. Vitale had his licence suspended by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Nova Scotia after he mixed incompatible vaccines in one syringe and injected them in one shot.
He was first warned against the practice in 2006.
The province said more patients could be affected as they comb through Vitale's records.
The province said since the initial news broke, the re-immunization clinic has received 137 calls from patients and they've booked 57 appointments.

Lincoln used the BiblePublished 8:09am Tuesday, March 12, 2013
Abraham Lincoln was never a church member or expressed whatever theology he might have entertained in any systematic manner. His language, especially in private, was not what one would expect from a clergyman or even a conventionally religion person. Yet, our sixteenth president had a keen sense of the Bible as a resource for life and the value of religion in living.
His parents were religious (hard-shell Baptists, in fact), but in a definitely primitive and crude way. He didn't accept their perspective on religion and he actually rejected their religious notions. Although he famously read books by the light of a fireplace, there is no indication he ever read the Bible at home. He attended various churches but occasionally and never joined one.
Curiously, Lincoln liked clergymen and actually sought contact with them. While traveling the legal circuits around Illinois, he talked well into the night with several on many occasions. In places the local pastor was the only college man in town. It might be this young lawyer, who himself had never attended college much less law school, found clergy to be the only intellectual stimulation available.
Somewhere along the line, Lincoln must have taken to reading the Bible seriously, because he became as familiar with its contents as most regular church-goers. His earliest political speeches were replete with quotations from the Bible and illustrated by biblical allusions. For some years, these references were rather like other public speakers quoting Shakespeare or Milton. This is to say, he drew upon literature that was known to and respected by his audiences. At first, Lincoln's use of the Bible was as a wise, practical, and usable book. He did not, at least in the early years, speak of the Bible as anything like the inspired, infallible Word of God. The Bible made sense to him, and he obviously believed in its usefulness for the practical affairs of daily living as well as governing a nation.
Just as his moral outrage at the immorality and injustice of slavery grew as his responsibilities in public office increased, the monstrous burdens of the presidency during one of this nation's greatest crises seem to have led Lincoln inexorably to the Bible. Not only did he quote the holy book more frequently as president, his understanding of biblical truths became at once more profound and more serious. Whereas once his use of the Bible was largely simple literary allusion, in his maturity it became more conscious and purposeful. It was less to support his own ideas and more that the message of the Bible became his message to the nation. I would characterize his later use as not being so much religious as it was theological. It was no longer a convenient rhetorical device but, rather, an essential resource.
By the time of Lincoln's second inaugural in March of 1865, his spiritual thinking was at its keenest, and his use of religion and the Bible most productive. This, the shortest inaugural address in presidential history, was just 701 words. Yet, in it he mentioned God fourteen times. Moreover, he four times referred to the Bible, and stressed the importance and value of prayer four times.
By modern expectations, President Abraham Lincoln was not politically correct—but he was morally right. He was honest and sincere. For all his political sagacity, he was intensely moral. He knew and understood what most of today's politicians and governmental officials on all levels seem to ignore or misunderstand. The Constitution rightly separates church and state, but it does not separate public life and religion. Indeed, what is arguably our greatest president purposefully and successfully employed religious concepts.
More important then placing his hand on a copy of the Bible while being sword in, a president needs to speak and live the Bible. Those who also speak and live the Bible need to vote for president by what they have so learned.

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.

Halle Berry to star in CBS series next summer
NEW YORK (AP) - CBS says Halle Berry will star in a serialized drama coming to the network next summer.
The Oscar-winning actress will headline "Extant," a 13-episode thriller. Berry will play an astronaut trying to reconnect with her family when she returns after a year in outer space. Her experiences lead to events that change the course of history.
The series is being made in partnership with Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television, which made last summer's surprise hit for CBS, "Under the Dome." CBS announced "Extant" in August.
CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler said Berry is the type of actress "you dream of collaborating with for an event project such as `Extant.'"
The 47-year-old Berry won an Oscar in 2002 for her starring role in "Monster's Ball."

A compelling thriller to begin with, but it adds the rare quality of having a heroine more fascinating than the story.
The key to the film's effectiveness is the casting of Rapace, who, while not mapping quite exactly to the book's physical descriptions, is riveting.
A mind-bending and mesmerizing thriller that takes its time unlocking one mystery only to uncover another, all to chilling and immensely satisfying effect.
The biggest compliment you can pay the much-anticipated film adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is that you can't imagine Stieg Larsson's corker of a story ever having existed in book form.
It's one of the most engaging foreign films to come along since 'Tell No One' in 2008.
A chilling detective tale, a horrific sexual abuse drama and an overlong, emotional, tie-up-every-loose-end melodrama that is sure to be half an hour shorter when Hollywood remakes it without the Swedish dialogue and probably without the cool Swedish edge.
Rife with nightmarishly violent and horrific behavior. It's intense, graphic, frightening.
This dynamite thriller shivers with suspense. So if you ignore The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) because it's in Swedish with English subtitles, you probably deserve the remake Hollywood will surely screw up.
Rapace is a magnetic presence in a far-ranging mystery requiring such a solid character to orbit around.

Nov 29, 2011The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is one of the finest examples of a thrilling murder-mystery ever committed to film. The storytelling is fluidThe Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is one of the finest examples of a thrilling murder-mystery ever committed to film. The storytelling is fluid and engaging, the script tight and the dramatic performances superb. The film explores the darkest, most depraved aspects of human nature, and astutely questions our commonly held beliefs about mental illness, morality and redemption. It's a real testament to the skills of leads Michael Nyqvist and Noomi Rapace that they manage to bring such complex, layered characters to life on the big screen, and they make a great double-act, smartly playing off each others' performances to add greater depth and believability to their roles. It's also a mark of a great director in Niels Arden Oplev that he keeps the story focussed, and manages to maintain the momentum of the film throughout its 150 minute run-time. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is simply superb - it's smart, energetic, well-crafted and utterly enthralling. The American remake is on the horizon, and while I'm intrigued by any project with David Fincher at the helm, I'm also a little dubious, because there's no way a remake can be this good.… Full Review »

If Bo Duke were still going at it today, he might have a buzz cut and drive an orange Polaris RZR, but he sure as Hell wouldn't crash his ride – especially if Luke Duke were in the passenger seat. That said, this modern-day Dukes of Hazzard wannabe didn't have his cousin riding shotgun, and maybe that's a good thing. After driving his RZR side-by-side impressively far up the side of a cliff, he came tumbling back down – in the process losing his skateboard helmet and "pretzeling" the
Fear not, Dukes of Hazzard fans, no one is going to mess with the General Lee. After a forum post on HobbyTalk.com indicated that Tomy Toys, manufacturer of all official Dukes of Hazzard merchandise, would no longer produce scale models of the show's famous 1969 Dodge Charger with its Confederate battle flag displayed on the roof, Warner Brothers has issued a statement to the contrary. The original story reportedly came courtesy of an anonymous worker with Tomy Toys, who said the Stars and Bars
Yup. Someone has apparently taken it upon themselves to slather the slinkiest of Alfa Romeo models with the bright orange paint and stars and bars of the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard. Why? Because if you have enough cash to park an 8C Competizione in your expansive garage, you can paint it in whatever livery you damn well please. Details are scarce, but our source says the coupe is real, and it rocks the appropriate "01" numbering on each door. We're hoping there's a horn capable of whi
What's "the most famous television car in the world"? We suppose that depends on who you ask, but to many, nothing but the General Lee could possibly hold the title. Of course, there wasn't just one General Lee. In fact, scores of orange Dodge Chargers were filmed for "The Dukes of Hazzard," and most of them never survived their first televised escapade.
A Houston, Texas, man is likely out of his freedom and his General Lee-style Dodge Charger following a police chase. According to news reports from Houston, police clocked the man going 120 mph on a city freeway.
The very first 1969 Dodge Charger General Lee from "The Dukes of Hazzard" is headed under the gavel at Barret-Jackson. The vehicle was created specifically for the show's intro and made just one jump before being retired.
You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.

There are fantastic combinations, like bacon and, well, just about anything, and then there are things that should never be combined. Jeep CJ-7s are super iconic, and they represent the pinnacle of AMC's stewardship of the brand. Though the Dukes of Hazzard itself was no Citizen Kane, every kid of that era has indelible images of an orange Charger flying through the air etched in their memories. Again, General Lee: cool. Put them together; ignoring the fact that a proper "Dukes"-themed CJ would
Bummed that you missed out on John Schneider's (aka: Bo Duke) personal General Lee when it sold at Barret Jackson earlier this year for $450,000? Well, we've got good news for you then, as LEE 1 is scheduled to appear in the April issue of DuPont Registry with an as-yet unknown price tag attached. If you're not familiar with LEE 1, this is the car that was used for the police car jump from the Dukes of Hazzard opening credits (.wmv link). This car also appeared in the very first episode of the n

While perusing Autoblog Latino and brushing up on my Spanglish, I noticed this post that led me to a site called Paper Inside. Its simple tagline – Paper Models are Paper Inside – hints at what you'll find below the fold. The site offers numerous free downloads of paper models that arrive in your printer tray as 2D sheets awaiting entry into the third dimension. We chose the Ecto 1 model to highlight above because it's pretty intricate, but you'll also find the DeLorean from Back to
This is one summer sequel we saw coming from a mile away. After it was revealed that the incredible winning bid of $9,900,500 for John Schneider's original 1969 Dodge Charger "General Lee" was a dud, "Bo Duke" himself has relisted the car on eBay with a $1,000,000 $100,000 starting bid. This time, bidders have to preregister with Auction Wire, an online auction agency, before they can make a play for the car.

Rihanna Falls on Stage (Video)
Rihanna tour a spill at a recent stop on her Loud tour.
While performing her hit single "What's My Name?" at the Rexall Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Rihanna tripped in her high heels and fell to her hands and knees. But it seems the singer wasn't hurt much, if at all, as she quickly got up and picked up the next dance move and rest of the song.
Rihanna isn't the first pop star to fall on stage in recent months. Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys and Beyonce also have tripped while performing.
Rihanna kicked off the tour June 4 in Baltimore, where she made headlines for giving female fan a lap dance.
She now makes her way through the Caribbean, South America and then Europe in the fall.

40th Program Year (2014-2015) Action Plan
Revised 39th Program Year (2013-2014) Action Plan
Prior Year Consolidated and Action Plans
The City has begun the planning process for its next program year, which begins April 1, 2015. The Mayor has released his letter to the City Council to begin the planning process and invite City departments to submit applications for funding. See the link below for a copy of the Mayor's letter.
October 8, 2014 Mayor's Letter to City Council
Please send any comments to: email@example.com
In preparation for Program Year (PY) 41 planning, the Los Angeles Housing + Community Investment Department hosted four community forums in September 2014. The purpose was to engage the community and get participation in the development of the City's upcoming Consolidated Action Plan (Con Plan). The new Program Year will be for April 2015 - March 2016.
Community Forum Flyer Sept. 2014 (English)
Community Forum Flyer Sept. 2014 (Spanish)
As the City's first 2013-2017 Transit-Oriented Consolidated Plan (ConPlan), the ConPlan maximizes the region's unprecedented investments in transit by integrating and leveraging transit, community, economic, and housing investments to transform low-income neighborhoods and build communities of opportunities.
The ConPlan was developed using the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's new eCon Planning Suite, which includes a new mandatory web-based template, expanded planning database, and online data mapping tool. The result was a more collaborative, data-driven, and place-based planning process that included increased opportunities for public participation and consultation.

Wynonna Judd Will Spread Holiday Cheer on a Simpler Christmas Tour
This holiday season, Wynonna Judd will help her fans get into the Christmas spirit. The legendary singer is taking her strong vocals on the road for a Simpler Christmas Tour.
This holiday season, Wynonna Judd will help her fans get into the Christmas spirit. The legendary singer is taking her strong vocals on the road for a Simpler Christmas Tour.
After the success of this past Halloween's 'Toy Story of Terror,' Pixar and ABC have announced another new holiday-themed 'Toy Story' TV special: the Christmas-themed 'Toy Story That Time Forgot' which will premiere later this year. So, what can we expect as Buzz, Woody and friends meet up with Santa?
The giving spirit is strong this time of year.
Scotty McCreery recently sat down to talk about what he's most looking forward to this Christmas. His wish list is, not surprisingly, humble. It's the simple joys of the holidays that the North Carolina-born singer says are his favorites come December 25.
Christmas Eve is here. The last push to get everything done. For some that means gifts or making a trip to the grocery store. Yes, even those last minute Christmas cards. When the clock strikes twelve tonight you can take a deep breath and say "I did it."
It's been a crazy year for Jennifer Nettles. Son Magnus turned a year old, the country songstress ventured out on a solo career and she and her husband are in the process of moving into a new home. Needless to say, Nettles is a little behind on Christmas.
Although Luke Bryan and Darius Rucker didn't actually sing 'Jingle Bells' together, they still contributed to an unintentional duet, turning the Christmas classic into a decidedly country carol!
This time of year, food banks are working extra hard to keep their shelves stocked. If you're in a charitable mood, you might be wondering what exactly these charities are looking for in the way of donations. A recent thread on Reddit explored just that. Numerous commenters with experience either working at or patronizing food banks offered their thoughts on the best items to donate—and it's not just food, either.
Okay ladies, we have all been working hard to get everything ready for Christmas. Decorating the house (inside and out); planning the meal; shopping for the perfect gifts; wrapping them oh so carefully; moving the creepy elf all over the house...but, did you ever stop and wonder "What would it be like if men and women switched roles at Christmas time?"
The Elf on the Shelf is a cute idea but he/she just creeps me out. They fly back to the North Pole every night and then have time to reek havoc on your home overnight and you wake the next morning not knowing where the little booger is? No thanks! CREEPY! Oh you say "He's not real Nancy!" Oh yeah! Well, he was caught on video camera!
Blake Shelton and the USO Show Troupe Choir teamed up for a surprise holiday acoustic performance in New York City's Greeley Square (Dec. 19), which was hosted by JCPenney. As part of an interview for the event, Shelton revealed his New Year's resolution, one he can't seem to keep despite revisiting it for two decades.
Kenny Chesney makes his living performing in front of thousands of people in concert. So it's hard to imagine he was too shy to sing in Christmas pageants as a kid. But he was. He says, quote, "I think one time I held the star

90210 Review: The Breaking Pointby Leigh Raines at . Comments
Love triangles, schemes and sex tapes can only stay wrapped up for so long. In "The Con," everything finally unraveled for the kids on 90210. With a trip to Santa Barbara for a faux-Comic Con, all the drama that's been building up finally came to a head.
Some people found themselves in a better place, while others found themselves in a darker place than they started. This week, I think we should break it down by characters....
Any chance this is geek speak for "everything's gonna be just fine?" | permalink
Unfortunately Naomi, that would be a resounding no.
Naomi/Max/Alec Naomi and Alec have been in a battle for Max's affections since 90210 Season 5 kicked off. Maybe in Alec's case it wasn't so much Max's "affections" as it was just wanting to be number-one in his life. Either way, these two have been at odds. Naomi initially tried to play nice and appeal to Alec as a new friend. As you all recall, Alec did her dirty by hiring a photographer and kissing her, then giving the damning evidence to Max.
When the hack occurred, Naomi even made a last ditch attempt at covering for Alec when they initially thought it was his fault. When it comes down to it, even though she is crazy enough to start hitting a dude with a stick while in a Princess Leia costume, she really does love her husband. Too bad when the tables turned and it turns out it was Naomi's fault, Alec was more than willing to throw her under the bus.
While telling your husband he has to choose between you and his best friend isn't exactly mature, it was adult of her to admit that things were never going to change and Alec would ultimately best her. She couldn't handle however many more years of fighting. I gotta say, even though Max feels like his marriage just cost him his best friend, he really needs to take a deeper look at what an ass-bag that best friend was. He made no effort to get along with Naomi and be an adult about things.
Sorry Alec, you're out.
Navid/Silver/Liam Okay, maybe I picked up on some wrong vibes but I really felt like Silver was leaning towards having feelings for Liam again. Even if I caught a blip of that she seemed to be happy for him about his professor girlfriend and genuinely wanted to be friends again. Even if she was leaning towards Liam over Navid, do you blame her? Navid has been competing for the douchebag of the year award this season!
What happened to the sweet Navid Shirazi? Silver wasn't his girl anymore when he was away at Princeton, and Dixon saying that was just foolish considering Dixon was the very first one to date Silver! Enough with the scheming, Navid should've just asked if Silver was trying to get back together with Liam. How could he reveal that sex tape? Honestly, in our day and age, all that tape will do is catapult Liam to fame. Let's not kid ourselves. Too bad it cost Liam his new girlfriend and Navid his business partner and best friend.
Annie Annie said it herself, her picker is off. She chooses bad guys. Here's a big rule of thumb: if you have to convince yourself to be into a guy and cast away doubts, something probably isn't working. Colin was scum, Annie's gut told her so. Annie needs to get her Olivia Pope on more often and listen to her gut! I'm kind of liking her with Riley even though they got off to a rocky start. How about you guys?
Adrianna/Dixon You might be thinking Adrianna got off scot-free since she didn't have to tell Dixon the truth in the end. No way! Ade is so saddled with guilt right now and it's all of her own making. The chemistry between her and Dixon just isn't there anymore. Maybe they love each other, but they both seem to be holding on out of fear and support. Great support each other as friends, love each other as friends, but don't pretend you are in love anymore.
Dixon was in pain, but he wasn't snapping at everyone else. Adrianna still chose to cheat. This one is going to blow up in her face big time. Dixon deserves better than a cheater.
So there's my breakdown. What did you all think of "The Con?" Did you want to see things go differently for these couples?

At this rate, Ade will be living alone in a small house with a bunch of cats before she's in her mid-twenties. Of course, she'll have nobody to blame but herself.
@Megan: And that makes me proud of her. Naomi is by far the most loyal character. Sure, she may scheme or have a moment of weakness, but she's never done anything as far as to date a friends bestfriend.
Jarrod Mitchell: Surprisingly, the only one who has never slept with a friend's boyfriend or ex-boyfriend is Naomi. From the group she's only dated Ethan and Liam and she was the first to do so.
'm glad Silver didn't choose him in the end. She deserves better even if it is with Liam. Nevertheless, her and Liam should really just remain friends.
As for Annie, no more guys. Just put her with Liam already!
On another note, when Dixon said to Taylor: "You don't mess with another guys girl", who is he kidding? Him and his friends have been all around the cycle of dating one another. Liam by far being the worst by dating his sister! Though I am for Lannie, Addixon/Sixon/Nivanna and Maxomi, have these characters not realized they're all bed hoppers? Not to mention, if you add Ivy, Ethan and Teddy to the equation, it expands further. These characters need to get their crap together, because that line was the most ignorant thing I've ever heard.
This was probably the best episode of the season in my opinion.
Though I am inclined to agree that the chemistry between Addixon isn't there anymore, I personally blame the writers. They've written it in the way that Adrianna will forever be the same and that Dixon will forever be the same. They haven't paired them together as a couple this season. They've just made them a really boring couple who argue all the time, so when Adrianna did cheat, her actions were justifiable. However, I do believe that Dixon deserves better after that.
After everything Naomi has been through this season, honestly, I supported her choice of words. I do agree it was immature, but the entire battle between Alec and herself was immature to begin with. Glad Max choose is wife. See yah, Alec!
Can we honestly just kill off Navid? His character has been so boring and I don't understand why he's still here. I wish he had stayed at Princeton. I'm sick of his clingy attitude of "Silver is mine". I'm glad Silver didn't choose him in the end. She deserves better even if it is with Liam. Nevertheless, her and Liam should really just remain friends.
As for Annie, no more guys. Just put her with Liam already!
