IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 1200UTC chart on 31 January 2015 Issued at 11:13 pm EDT Saturday on 31 January 2015 A broad area of cloud with some embedded thunderstorms covers large parts of Western Australia and extends into the Top End and western parts of the Northern Territory. This cloud is associated with a surface trough which stretches from central WA to the Northern Territory and also an upper low just off the WA west coast. Isolated diurnal thunderstorms remain about parts of Tropical North Queensland while the storms associated with a surface trough over southeast Queensland and the far northeast of NSW have mostly dissipated or cleared to the east. Tropical cyclone Ola lies well to the east of Queensland in the Coral Sea. Areas of cloud wrapping around a deep low pressure system in the Tasman Sea cover parts of Tasmania, Victoria and the far southeast of New South Wales.

Driving at your own pace is a great way to explore the beach and bayside peninsulas. All with their own personalities and remarkable settings, the coastal villages offer warm and friendly surroundings, great for relaxing and let's not forget the food.
From Wynnum Manly to the Redlands, this drive caters for lovers of history, natural attractions, arts and culture and wining and dining.
Duration | 10 Hours | Itinerary Type | Land |
Distance | 78 Kilometres | Itinerary Route | One Way |

The sister suburbs of Wynnum and Manly have their own distinctive personalities. Wynnum Central is a commercial and very family friendly hub, while Manly Harbour Village offers a relaxed, yet sophisticated nautical atmosphere thanks to its spectacular centrepiece, the Manly Boat Harbour.
Wellington Point is possibly most famous for its iconic Moreton Bay fig trees which are perfect for relaxing under or for energetic children to climb. The trees feature prominently along the esplanade, with a new children's playground nearby.
The lively coastal village of Cleveland is a warm, welcoming, cosmopolitan area packed with plenty to see and do. Cleveland is also the gateway to magnificent North Stradbroke Island, famous for its endless stretches of sandy beaches, and land-based whale watching.
Another lovely Bayside precinct, Victoria Point is a great place to enjoy the natural surrounds of the Redlands. Victoria Point has several important environmental reserves which provide perfect settings to spot some of the area's most important residents: koalas.

THE LEADERS of the Transportation Authority of Marin only opened the door to wider public involvement after their plans for overhauling the Highway 101-Greenbrae interchange got such a public raspberry.
Complaints focused on the Los Angeles-style, cement-centric design, including a 33-foot-tall flyover from Sir Francis Drake Boulevard along southbound 101.
At TAM's public hearing, complaints and criticism about the design prepared by staff and Caltrans drowned out any praise. It was so lopsided that the TAM board decided to form a special "working group" to explore possible alternatives.
The group got several draft designs.
To live up to TAM's promise, these designs deserve to be vetted by structural and traffic engineers. They deserve to be compared with the version that TAM came up with. They deserve the same tests for traffic safety, engineering and traffic flow.
TAM's dilemma is that its public outreach included in its design process failed to engage the public. That is until the public got a look at the design that was nearly ready for the TAM board's approval.
Now it's forced to circle back.
In forming the working group and inviting alternatives, the TAM board is doing a lot of backpedaling. The effectiveness of this "back to the drawing board" move will depend on its genuine review of the proposals.
That may involve a significant public investment — $248,000, according to TAM staff.
We hope that using TAM and Caltrans staff to do the review can trim that cost, but it's important to have experts review the proposals.
The dilemma is the process is being conducted under the pressure of a presumed "use-it-or-lose it" deadline imposed by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, which approves the state money needed for the project.
MTC should be more interested in building the right project the right way than spending money on something that to many people is out of scale in design and spending.
The availability of money should not be the determining factor for selecting a design.
Besides, a lot of money was already spent advancing a project that the public shot down.
TAM leaders should have done a better job of making sure the community was actively involved in its process. At some point, TAM's board should have wondered why Marin's usually outspoken public was so quiet about its plans.
TAM is now trying to rescue a process that went sideways. It is trying to reconnect with the public.
Besides money, it's going to take an investment of time.
MTC should give TAM the leeway to do the job right — with a reasonable increase in funding and adequate time to find a real public consensus.
The process should be driven by coming up with the best design, not by bureaucratic deadlines.

Autumn Park is situated on the corner of Drayton and Cairns Street, Nanango, and is the most recently built recreational park in Nanango.
The Nanango Shire Council established it in February/March 1997 on the site of the old saleyard. The first stockyards built belonged to Jacob Goode. They were located between his Inn and Chinaman's Waterhole.
... moreToday, Autumn Park provides an appealing entry to the township of Nanango, but you should not forget the lives that blossomed and declined with the fortunes of the saleyards that once covered this area. This park is a National Serviceman's Memorial Park. The flag will fly day and night as a constant reminder of the contribution of the young men who served.

Family violence is a major public health problem in the United States. It leads to physical and psychological disability, death and loss of productivity. It can perpetuate itself through successive generations and contributes to the escalating health care costs in this country. Family violence affects a significant proportion of the US population either as direct victims or as witnesses of abuse.
Family violence constitutes a triad encompassing domestic violence ("intimate partner violence"), child abuse, and elder abuse. These problems can exist independently or in combination in the same household. Studies indicate that child abuse occurs in 33 percent to 77 percent of families in which there is abuse of adults.2, 3, 4 Between 3.3 and 10 million children witness domestic violence each year.5, 6 Children whose mothers are abused may experience serious emotional distress and manifest severe behavioral problems as a result.2, 4
Family violence is prevalent in our society. In 1999, there were 826,000 cases of documented child abuse or 11.8/1000 children. The highest rate of abuse was noted in those aged 0 to 3. There were 1100 deaths due to abuse and neglect or 1.62/100,000 children. Data indicates that 42.6 percent of these children were less than one year of age and 86.1 percent were less than six years of age.7 It has been estimated that failure to diagnose an initial presentation of child abuse may result in a 30 percent to 50 percent chance of repeated abuse and a 5 percent to 10 percent chance of death.8
An estimated 2.5 million women and 1.6 million men are physically assaulted by an intimate partner annually in the United States. Thirty percent of women and 37 percent of men receive medical care for their injuries.9 A report based on statistics from a nationally representative sample of hospital emergency departments revealed that 36.8 percent of female patients and 4.5 percent of male patients who had been treated for violence-related injuries had been injured by current of former intimate partners.10 Intimate partner violence can also result in complaints of chronic pain and somatizing disorders brought on by the stress of living in a violent environment.11 Therefore, orthopaedic surgeons may be called upon to treat victims of family violence in both emergency and non-emergency settings. The number of patients presenting to the offices and clinics of orthopaedic surgeons is unknown and unstudied.
The National Center on Elder Abuse estimated that in 1996 there were 1 to 2 million elderly persons in this country who experienced abuse or neglect. Women made up 58 percent of victims. Two-thirds of the perpetrators of abuse were family members who acted as caretakers.12
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) believes family violence, in the form of child abuse, adult domestic violence and elder abuse, is a major public health problem in the United States. The Academy is committed to providing appropriate care to victims of family violence whether they present to an emergency department, orthopaedic office/clinic.
The AAOS endorses the following principles for orthopaedic surgeons regarding family violence:
- Orthopaedic surgeons should become familiar with the fact that family violence victims present for orthopaedic care to both emergency and office/clinic settings.
- Orthopaedic surgeons should become knowledgeable about the diagnosis and treatment of family violence and should learn what resources are available in the community for referral of victims.
- Orthopaedic surgeons should become familiar with and adhere to applicable abuse reporting laws and other legal requirements, as well as appropriate procedures for dealing with and referring suspected cases of abuse.
- Orthopaedic surgeons should put into place protocols in their offices/clinics for dealing with victims of family violence. These protocols should include:
- Identification of victims
- Documentation of findings
- Treatment of injuries or conditions
- Assessment of the immediate safety of the patient
- Referral to community family violence resources and/or reporting to appropriate agencies as dictated by state statues.
- Orthopaedic surgeons should have an awareness of the possibility of family violence as a contributing factor when interviewing patients who present with traumatic injuries or chronic pain conditions. If a high index of suspicion is developed, in depth questioning should be performed and appropriate steps taken as described above.
The AAOS believes that orthopaedic surgeons should become aware of and comply with state and/or local reporting laws. The AAOS also believe that in cases of adult domestic violence, reports should only be made with the knowledge and consent of the victim, unless required by law, to reduce the probability of future harm to the victim.

They read "I Never Saw Another Butterfly," a collection of children's drawings and poems from Terezin Concentration Camp in Czechoslovakia.
From 1942-1944 over 15,000 children under the age of 15 passed through the camp.
As children experienced the horrors of their surroundings, their imaginations helped them focus on other things like the animals, the birds, and the butterflies.
Teachers Patsy Reese and Allyson Hardy facilitated the unit and asked their students to choose one poem and create their own butterfly based on that poem from "I Never Saw Another Butterfly."
Their butterflies are now going to the Holocaust Museum Houston Butterfly Project in Texas. The goal of project is to collect 1.5 million handmade butterflies to represent the 1.5 million children who perished in the Holocaust.
As an extension of this unit of study, teacher Terry Routman facilitated a trip to the Adath Israel Synagogue in Cleveland to talk to Rabbi Harry Danziger about the Holocaust.
Students also learned about the Star of David, about the Jewish gospels reading right to left instead of left to right, and about the special events celebrated by Jewish people.
When the students visited Washington, D.C., they were able to visit the Holocaust Museum, which gave them more insight into the horrors people faced.
"I couldn't believe so many people could be pushed into the train cars," said Hunter Talbot.
Students told Hardy how they felt as they toured the museum and viewed the exhibits. "They got to see the Holocaust from a child's perspective," she said.
Project Pass students Violet Jira, Scottie Hutchens, Ayinde Balthrop, along with Talbot, talked about the things they learned from this study.
"I appreciate how much we have. I don't have to worry about being taken away because of how I look. So much has changed. I think maybe the poems were the children's revenge somehow," said Scottie.
"Back then, people didn't realize how many died because of their religion," said Hunter.
Ayinde said, "The majority of the writers in our book did not survive and they saw the horrible things but they tried to hold on to hope and look for something beautiful."
"For the children in our book, butterflies were happiness because they were outside the camp but the children could not get to them," said Violet.
When asked if the study had changed how they look at things, Violet said, "It made me appreciate what we have. Sending our butterflies to the museum might tell others about the Holocaust. It is good to let people know. If they forget, it might happen again."

Walden Farms products are definitely hit or miss (and maybe a little bit more miss than hit), but that hasn't deterred me from being adventurous (some would say foolish) in trying their products. Take today, for example, when I decided on a whim to purchase the Walden Farms Apple Butter. Would it taste as artificial as the others, or would this one hit the right notes? I couldn't wait to find out.
The first thing I did was scan the ingredient list to see what I was in store for, and I was met with lots of chemical-sounding compounds. I must say, though, I expected no less from a zero-calorie product. Those ingredients are: triple filtered purified water, apple flavor, dehydrated apple, natural flavors, sucralose, citric acid, cellulose gel, and xanthan gum. Actually, I think most of those are in there to give this product its jam-like consistency, so maybe it's not as artificial as it could be.
I cautiously opened the product and took out a spoonful. I know it seems strange that I chose to eat it straight, but I wanted to get a sense of what it tasted like on its own before using it as a topping or spread. I must say, I was very surprised and pleased with the taste! The apple flavor was surprisingly real (I guess that's because it actually has dehydrated apples in it), and it had a little bit of a cinnamon-like kick at the end. The consistency isn't quite as thick as jam, but then again apple butter generally has somewhat of a different consistency to begin with. It's more of a jello-like texture, but once it's spread on something, you don't notice it. I smeared some on a slice of bread and added peanut butter to another slice for a delicious sandwich.
The nutritional information is straight 0's for everything. Bear in mind that the ingredients add a trace amount of calories, and that for a product to be called zero-cal, it can have have up to 4 calories per serving.
It's true that many jams are made in 10-calorie formulations these days, and they're significantly less expensive than the $4.29 price of this one, so I'll probably stick with those. However, it was nice to find a Walden Farms product was palatable!

Notes on a talk by John Lato of Tsuru Capital at Iowa Code Camp.
Coursera - financial modeling, etc. courses are availableDerivatives market is huge. (A quadrillion dollars!)Create a model for the prices structure and derive a formula from the model.Example: Black-Scholes Option Model - statistical volatility is the main variable, along with underlying price and time to maturityDelta - underlying, Vega - volatility, Theta - time (The Greeks) (actually equations)Wikipedia & Investipedia have articles on this.Modeling is very math-y.Algo Trading: Reality
(Sound familiar?)Can measure success: Are we making money?1-2 GB/day for a small subset of the orderbook from the MarketFeed.Knight Capital SEC article - how software deployment issues can cost your business money.How Tsuru uses Haskell
The Haskell Kool-Aid: If it compiles, it works! (Mostly true.)
Newtypes are "free," apply liberally. (Similar to units of measure in F#.) This way you don't apply the wrong function to a price, etc. Way to preserve invariants (can include constraints).
Coming to a strongly-typed functional language from a dynamic language is hard.You have data, and you have functions. Model your data accurately.If you have a Maybe Int, you can only use it with things that work with Maybe.Rather than throwing exceptions, you create types that preserve invariants.Parametric PolymorphismFunctions that work with, for instance, a list of any typeCan't alter your data, as they have no interface to interact with itSimilar to generics in C#/JavaExample: many :: Parser a -> Parser [a] (a is generic)You can do a lot of this stuff in C# now, but it gets very verbose.Type inference may infer a type more general than you thought, in which case you get code for free! (In functional languages.)(In Haskell, it's considered good practice to write type signatures, at least for top-level functions.)ConcurrencyImmutable-by-default and lack of side effects are a big winSome challenges remain (e.g. no mechanism for thread priority)In F#, considered good practice to make a method pure unless good reasonSide effects are "Spooky action at a distance"In Haskell, if something doesn't have IO (monad) in the signature, it doesn't do I/O.Similar functionality to async/await. In functional languages, typically the syntax is very clean.hackage.haskell.org - lots of code examplesghc - compiler most people use - offers REPL, includes mem/perf profilerCabal - build systemlearnyouahaskell.comfpcomplete.comideone.com
github.com/johnLatoIn Haskell, deep debugging can be hard. Traditional stack traces are tricky.TestingHave both unit tests and functional tests. (HUnit)QuickCheck - Haskell (and more?) testing tool - generates random inputChecks results - good for catching corner casesAlso use a simulator in place of exchange, playing back feeds, etc.
Notes on a talk by Patrick Delancy at Iowa Code Camp.
If you don't practice it, you lose it.
The inability to learn programming languages could force you to change careers.The idioms and concepts you learn will help you with your current language.
Start with the underlying principles. Understand the paradigms. The rest is just syntax.
Programming Paradigms (in order of complexity, low to high)
That's not the order in which we typically learn them.
Thinking Procedurally
Thinking Objectively
Very domain-driven. Easy to translate the business needs.
Thinking Functionally
What is the shape of the process?Focus on behavior, not data.
Thinking Logically
ClassificationLanguages don't fit into these buckets anymore.They steal ideas from other paradigms.

FIFO?What about the old ones? Ignore them - if they're important, they'll be reported again.Prioritization can be waste.Capacity needs to align with demand - the business needs to step in if the bug requests are overwhelming the developers (more hires or stop reporting bugs until developers catch up).Leadership doesn't come from authority. If you see a problem, fix it.Why do we let defects accumulate?In order to run fast, you need to run clean.Don't start coding until you have a Given-When-Then scenario.

I'm backing The FreedMan Chair Kickstarter. Despite my Herman Miller Mirra chair, I still have the occasional day of back pain. While my faith in osteopaths is right up there with my faith in shamans, the design is intriguing. It's not cheap (about $515 US), but retail is supposed to be about $1,300 US. And good chairs aren't cheap.
More info: http://www.gizmag.com/freedman-orthopedic-chair/29287/
I'm currently reading Pro ASP.NET MVC 4 as part of learning web development. So far it's been a good tutorial, but I take issue with the author's coverage of Test-Driven Development (TDD).
I applaud the coverage of unit testing, dependency injection, mocking, separation of concerns, and other best practices. It's the details that bother me.
In chapter 6, the author says he will follow the TDD approach in a unit test example. He starts out by writing the system under test and having it throw a NotImplementedException. Bzzt. Write the test first. There is a reason for this: the tests guide your design. You write the API you want to consume.
Next, he writes the unit tests. All of them. In TDD, you write one test, see it fail, write code to get it to pass, refactor, and then repeat. While there's no law that unit tests must be written in that fashion, changing the process means you're not doing TDD. If you don't want to do TDD, fine, but don't call it that.
Several of the tests violate the guideline of one logical assert per test. The only justification I can see is brevity. This comes at a cost: when the first assert fails, subsequent asserts are not run. In addition, messages have to be added to the asserts for clarity; it's much better to include this information in the test method name.
// These should be three separate test methods Assert.AreEqual(5, TenDollarDiscount, "$10 discount is wrong"); Assert.AreEqual(95, HundredDollarDiscount, "$100 discount is wrong"); Assert.AreEqual(45, FiftyDollarDiscount, "$50 discount is wrong");
The author encourages use of the ExpectedExceptionAttribute. This is far too coarse-grained, and is one reason for avoiding MSTest (which the book also promotes).
I encourage everyone to go to the experts to learn TDD and unit testing. Two good sources are Test Driven Development: By Example and The Art of Unit Testing.
The book's coverage of dependency injection is incomplete as well; the authoritative work is Dependency Injection in .NET.
I'm being harsh for a book on ASP.NET MVC. If you're going to cover these topics in detail, though, please get the details right.
A coworker and I spent a total of at least 8 man-hours this week tracing down one threading bug. The original author was locking access to shared state, and got it almost right.
Writing thread-safe code that uses global mutable state is hard. It's much easier to avoid the problem entirely.
Functional programming emphasizes pure functions (the same inputs will always give the same output, with no side effects) and immutable types. If you write your code in that style, thread safety comes naturally.
Regardless of programming language, consider a more functional approach. Your future self will thank me.
For a good book on the subject, try Real-World Functional Programming: With Examples in F# and C#.
I'm a signatory to the Manifesto for Not Only Object-Oriented Development.

When I wanted to show my layout of the Junkie challenge, I got this warning:
What does this mean?
I did use two or three items of American Story, but a lot of other kits as well.
Were you using Andrea Golds part??? All of hers does that!!! there are a few other designers that do that have that embedded in their graphics as well....I believe its to protect her from people stealing her graphics...but as long as you are following the TOU you should be good to go!! I am sure she or someone else will answer about this as well!
Hmmm- I would love more info on that as well.
I used the paper of American Story, one paper of Boy Stuff and one element of that kit.
But how is it possible that Facebook recognize this?
I mean, I put all the layers together and placed it as one .jpg with the name Junkie Challenge!
I also used a frame and element of OTBDS, a element of Maria, Created by Jill and a flower of Bettie scrap...!
Something like Big Brother? LOL!
I even didn't get the change to write proper credits, this was what FB came up with.
Wow....I too want to know the answer to this one!
Well, it gets more interesting: now I used in one layout a lot of things (papers plus elements) from "American Story" and "Boy Stuff" from Andrea.
And guess what: Facebook thinks it's okay! LOL!
Didn't get a warning this time.
Did you send Andrea and/or Debra a PM about this?
I've had the odd thing happen like that too. Like one time I was posting one of our collab kits to my FB page and it said it couldn't do it. I waited a while and then tried again and it worked. It could be just a glitchy thing in FB. But I really don't know for sure either. Would be interested to find out.

Public Involvement
Community Engagement Charter
Read the Burlington Community Engagement Charter.
Read about Burlington's Top-Ten Community Engagement Initiatives.
City of Burlington approves its first community engagement charter
April 11, 2013 — Burlington City Council has unanimously endorsed the first Burlington Community Engagement Charter aimed at making this city's government more accessible to, and involved with, the people it serves.
The charter is the product of 16 months of intense work by a team of citizens and some city staff, led by the city's public involvement co-ordinator.
"It is my pleasure to join my colleagues on council in whole-heartedly approving Burlington's first community engagement charter," said Mayor Rick Goldring. "When I see the work of these dedicated Burlington residents, it becomes clear why we are one of Canada's best cities. This charter will resonate with our community for many years to come."
The charter states that engaging people on issues that affect their lives and their city is "a key component of democratic society. Public involvement encourages participation, actions and personal responsibility."
The goal of community engagement is to lead to more informed and, therefore, better decision-making, the charter states.
The city's public involvement co-ordinator, Christine Iamonaco, led the charter team, working with a variety of citizens that include Gloria Reid, John Searles, Steve Surya, former members of council and former citizen of the year John Boich, now deceased. The charter will now be used by City Council to guide engagement and focus on customer-first service.
"I would like to personally thank council for its support of the Burlington Community Engagement Charter," Iamonaco said. "I have had the privilege of working with an outstanding team that has surpassed my expectations. I wish to thank everyone who made a contribution, either directly on the team or through the more than 1,000 touch points the team made into the community."
The charter approved by City Council includes commitments made by both City Council on behalf of the City of Burlington and by the engagement charter team on behalf of the community. The charter also indicates that there is a spectrum of citizen engagement, ranging from informing residents of city decisions to collaborating with residents and fully involving them in decision-making.
"This community engagement charter is a positive step forward for the City of Burlington," said John Searles, one of the members of the engagement charter team. "I feel strongly that my colleagues around the table have produced a charter document we can all embrace and be proud of."
Comments from the Community Engagement Charter Team
"When I joined the civic engagement charter team what really motivated me was the overwhelming response by so many people to become a part of it. That showed the strong commitment and team spirit of Burlington citizens towards developing this challenging initiative. The next step is its implementation through a strong action plan and ongoing monitoring to measure its success."—Mike H.
"For over a year, the charter was rewritten in exacting detail to afford all citizens the opportunity for community engagement in participatory democracy. Thanks to everyone who has given so selflessly of their time, dedicated to the enrichment of Burlington civic life. You have made it a truly rewarding experience to share." –Joan T.
"This is a great vision for our city."—Dave B.
"It has been quite a ride to get the charter together. We got to meet people from all venues from the Mayor (Rick Goldring) to simply concerned citizens. Some of the latter joined the team, and that was the greatest part. I am glad I volunteered some time for this community project. Thank you to City Council and the co-ordinator who have brought the charter to fruition. The process was an engagement in itself."—Julien M.
"The charter team represented true citizen engagement at its best."—Barry H.
"There's many a slip 'tween the cup and the lip.' Development of the charter was an excellent citizen and staff initiative and is very much in line with the Shape (Burlington) Report. Speedy implementation of the Charter will require considerably more effort, and true support from citizens, staff and council."—Chris W.
"What a pleasure it was meeting so many driven, committed residents of Burlington. I look forward to seeing much more of this group and I'm hoping that their example will inspire others of all ages and of all backgrounds to have a strong and welcomed voice in government."—Donna K.
"The Engagement Charter is a perfect example of citizens and city staff working together and collaborating to create an excellent product. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience that I was proud to be part of. "—Michelle D.
"Developing the engagement charter was a great opportunity to meet and work with wonderful people who care about building and expanding their community. Inspiring!"—Gloria R.
"Whilst working towards the engagement charter, one of the things that stood out most for me was the selflessness of those whom I worked with." –Yvette D.

How is this changing the way the city engages and involves Burlington residents?
Nearly 30 staff members completed training and are now certified by the International Association for Public Participation, or IAP2 as it is also known. The city also included four community volunteers in the training - helping to build knowledge about best community engagement practices and building the community's skills and abilities.

Please send us your thoughts. Comments will be posted.
Development of the Charter?
Achieving improvement in the practice of public involvement begins with the city's newly approved Strategic Plan, Burlington, Our Future.
Strategic direction three, Excellence in Government, states the city will implement a Community Engagement Charter and appropriate policies and tools to support community relationships. As stated by a member of Shaping Burlington, a community organization that supports this strategic initiative, "the Charter is the destination, and the process to develop it is the journey." I think that developing the Charter offers opportunity for working collaboratively with the public, non-governmental organizations, stakeholders, city staff and elected officials to craft a truly made-in-Burlington approach to community engagement.
Why Develop a Community Engagement Charter?
A community engagement charter is a social agreement that defines the commitment of the city, its staff and council, to conduct good public involvement activities in municipal processes such as: strategic planning; roads projects; environmental assessments; budget consultations; voter turnout programs; and community development projects. Ensuring that the Charter has strength can be achieved through endorsement by City Council, and potentially, its adoption as a city policy. Development of the Community Engagement Charter is also dependent on citizens and stakeholders setting specific engagement objectives, providing ideas, and undertaking review of the Charter's implementation.
Background Information - Creating an Engaged Community: Shape Burlington, April 2010
In April of 2010, the Shape Burlington Citizen's Advisory Committee presented its report Creating an Engaged Community to Burlington City Council. The report reflects the views of those people who shared their opinions on how Burlington might improve civic engagement and communications with local government. The report will serve as one of the background documents for the Burlington Community Engagement Charter Team as it works to create and implement Burlington's first 'Community Engagement Charter'.

White Sox EVP Ken Williams remains proud of injured 49er son
BY SEAN JENSEN email@example.com January 29, 2013 11:30PM
Article Extras
Updated: March 2, 2013 7:29AM
NEW ORLEANS — Despite his own high-profile position, White Sox executive vice president Ken Williams often is approached by strangers about his son Kyle.
"The funny thing about it is, they say, 'Your son plays in the NFL for the 49ers. You must be proud,' " Williams told the Sun-Times on Tuesday. "And my reaction catches them by surprise, most often because I'm not as proud of him doing what he's doing professionally. I'm most proud of who he is as a person.
"He's a solid, impressive young man."
Kyle Williams' character has been tested many times in the last year, the influence of his faith and family navigating him through incredible highs and lows. In the cruel-
est of twists, he was at the Super-
dome on Tuesday, where he
suffered a torn ACL in his left knee in a 31-21 victory Nov. 25 against the New Orleans Saints.
"It's bittersweet, it really is," he told the Sun-Times. "But you have to put those feelings aside for the team. You have to be professional about it.
"But it definitely sucks."
A sixth-round pick of the 49ers in 2010, Williams established himself as a backup receiver and returner, endearing himself to his teammates and coaches with his versatility, approach and leadership. After appearing in only five games as a rookie, he missed only three games in 2011 and contributed 20 catches for 241 yards and three touchdowns. He also handled six punts and kickoffs.
But Williams lost two fumbles in a 20-17 overtime loss to the New York Giants in the NFC Championship Game last season and was subjected to vicious attacks on message boards and on Twitter.
The 49ers collectively, however, defended him.
"From the outside looking in, you say, 'I don't know if I could handle that. I would tank.' Then you go through it and say, 'Maybe I'm stronger than I thought I was,' " Williams said. "I learned a lot about myself. But it's definitely not anything I would recommend going through."
His father's background — a two-sport star in East San Jose, Calif., a major-league outfielder and a World Series-winning general manager — provided Williams with some much-needed perspective.
Ken to Kyle: "Are you man enough to handle this?"
Kyle: "Absolutely."
Ken: "You know what's coming?"
Kyle: "I've been preparing for it since I was a little kid."
In the spring, Williams impressed his coaches with his mind-set, and he opened the 2012 season strong.
"Seeing his resolve and his desire to come back, that was inspirational to the rest of the guys," 49ers chief operating officer Paraag Marathe said. "A lot of guys would fold up the tent and pack it in, but he did the opposite."
Williams appeared in every game, starting three at receiver, and he had a seasonlong 57-yard reception in Colin Kaepernick's first NFL start on ''Monday Night Football'' against the Bears. He blew out his ACL the next week.
Once again, the 49ers reinforced their belief in Williams, insisting that he remain close to the team instead of rehabbing in another city.
"These guys are like family to me," Williams said. "They've stuck with me through injuries and whatever happened last year. It's tough to forget that."
Williams isn't on the field, but he's still a key part of the 49ers.
"He's like my little brother; I can't lie to you," receiver Michael Crabtree said. "I talk to him every day."
Whenever he can, Ken Williams has attended games for his children. But he won't be at the Superdome for Super Bowl XLVII.
"I'm not coming to watch him cheer on the sideline," he said. "If he were playing, absolutely. But I have a great couch and a great TV [in Chicago]."
Kyle Williams hopes he'll be back to full strength by training camp. Then look out.
"I can't wait to get back out there," he said.

The state conference for Keep America Beautiful is approaching in August, and board member Joanne Maskew said all the local chapters have been asked what topics would be the most relevant to each town. That sparked a discussion about what Cleveland has been dealing with from an environmental standpoint.
Maskew said littering and illegal dumping are the biggest issues facing Cleveland. Other members agreed, giving examples of what they had seen. One example came from board member Joe Renner, who works for the environmental division of the Bradley County Sherriff's Office and said he has seen many examples of both on the job.
Renner shared the example of some abandoned properties of which the BCSO cannot find the owners. One of the properties has a building that is falling down, and both have litter that needs to be removed, he said. When owners and next of kin have not been found, anyone concerned about the environmental state of a property has to go through a set of specific steps, he added.
"What I have to do is take it to environmental court," Renner said, explaining that the county government required a longer process than did the city's."
He said he and his co-workers have also seen a lot of old tires littering roadsides.
The board decided to submit the issues of littering and illegal dumping to the state chapter to discuss at the conference.
KAB finalized the recipients for the local organization's awards set to be given out this March. Mount Olive Church of God on Harrison Pike was chosen to receive the monthly Business Beautification award, and Whirlpool was chosen to receive the White Glove Award.
The local KAB chapter has been hosting regular education programs for children in schools. This school year, children have been taking part in an activity to plant zinnia flowers as they also learn about things like recycling. Maskew said many such school visits have been planned for the coming weeks.
"Right now, we have 20 scheduled for zinnias," Maskew said.
The board also discussed the organization's financial records from this past July until January before turning its attention to upcoming events. Maskew said the organization is "in good shape" financially, with over $69,000 in income from fundraisers, donations, government funding and the like over that six-month period.
KAB then turned its attention to the busy weekend of fundraisers and community projects they had scheduled.
This Friday, the organization will be having its annual Solid Waste Breakfast fundraiser at 7:30 a.m. at the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce. The event will feature speaker Sarah K. Dean, who works with environmental and regulatory compliance at Mars Chocolate North America as well as a meal catered by students in the culinary arts program at Bradley Central High School under the direction of Chef Richmond Flowers.
The event will also serve as the kickoff for the annual Great American Cleanup initiative to help reduce the amount of litter in the community.
This Saturday, volunteers will be gathering at the Tri-State Exhibition Center to assist with collection for the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event is funded by the Bradley County government, and county residents can dispose of any wastes that are too hazardous to be routinely recycled, thrown in the normal garbage or taken to the Bradley County landfill.
"It is vital for the community to be able do that," Maskew said.
The next board of directors meeting will take place March 27.

And they don't edit for content for most of their movies. IFC puts that disclaimer up before they start every movie.
Ive seen nudity and heard some swear words that im almost positive should be censored on other channels. So aside from the commercials I dont think they cut anything.
Correct. To be exact it states: "ALL IFC MOVIES HAVE NOT BEEN EDITED FOR CONTENT OR TIME."
However, right after the disclaimer its very possible you might also see: "This Film has been modified from its original version." This is due to them usually cropping a 2.35:1 film to 16:9 AR and/or speeding up the credits at the end of the films.

Love the look. I purchased in store because I hv to try on any bebe fashion. First I tried the large to big then small which was ok. In the store In the real world every time I move they start to come down. The waist is a tad big, but the problem is it sits so low. If it wear a higher waist I think they would stay up. My solution is suspenders, or wearing under garment on the outside. I am 5''6 120. 28 waist 38 hip 32-33 inseam. That is the other factor they needed to be longer.
I may try a different brand with a high waist. Be careful if you buy these. Try on first. Then walk around he store.
