Collegetown Store Thwarted by Zoning Board Decision
Thursday, 04 April 2013 00:27
Council - Announcements
By Dan Hoffman,
Council Member
GreenStar's plans to open a third store, in Collegetown, hit a big bump last month, when the City's Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) denied a set of variances sought by the property's owners, throwing the future of their project into limbo. The new store won approval from the Co-op's Membership last year, but the lease for the space was contingent upon the developer's securing the variances by March.
The Co-op's serious exploration of the idea of a new store in Collegetown began in 2011, when Josh Lower — who, with his father, Bill, owns the property at 307 College Avenue — developed a plan to replace the current two-story building with a six-story, mixed-use structure and invited GreenStar to become its "anchor" commercial tenant.
As designed, the upper stories of the building (named "Collegetown Crossing") would contain 50 apartments. The intent is to create a project whose residents (most likely Cornell students or employees) could be "car-free," by locating it in a dense area, having a source of healthy groceries downstairs, providing state-of-the-art bicycle storage, locating a protected bus shelter at the front of the building, and offering free bus passes and car-share discounts to residents without cars. In addition to Josh Lower's commitment to reduction of car use, the narrow property has physical constraints that would make it difficult and expensive to satisfy the City's existing zoning requirement that over 50 off-street parking spaces be provided for the apartments.
The project drew strong support from the Collegetown neighborhood, with hundreds signing a petition in favor, and Mayor Svante Myrick endorsed it. A handful of people publicly opposed it, including alderperson Ellen McCollister, who represents the Belle Sherman neighborhood (further up East Hill), a competing developer (John Novarr, who received variances in 2010 for his own Collegetown Terrace project, on East State/MLK Street, which involved demolition of more than 25 houses, and construction of 1,230 residential units and 746 parking spaces, and which faced sharp opposition from neighbors), and a business owner across the street. The main concern voiced was that residents would in fact have cars, adding to traffic problems, and would seek to park in other residential neighborhoods.
The Collegetown Crossing project was initially reviewed by the City's Planning Board, which required the owners to commission a professional study of the parking issue. This study surveyed hundreds of Collegetown renters — including those who live where parking is provided and where it is not. The study found that overall, only 27 percent of these tenants have cars in Ithaca. (The current minimum parking requirement assumes 50 percent.) Among those who live in units where parking is NOT provided, a significantly smaller proportion (16.7 percent) have cars, even with no incentives to be car-free. Thirty-nine percent of residents who do have cars said they would give them up in exchange for a free bus pass or car-share discount. The study concludes that the real parking deficit for the Collegetown Crossing project would be closer to 5 to 10 spaces. The Planning Board concluded that granting the requested variances would have no significant environmental impact, and recommended their issuance.
A review of BZA decisions over the past five-plus years shows that many variances for larger projects, including some in Collegetown with no parking, have been granted. (The BZA refused to receive a report on this review, saying it was submitted too late.) In its unanimous decision to deny the variances, the BZA discounted the parking study and disagreed with the Planning Board's conclusions. Members criticized Common Council for taking no action to change or eliminate the minimum parking requirement.
In fact, a proposal to do just that has picked up growing support and is making its way through City channels; it may be ready for a vote within months. A yes vote would give the Collegetown Crossing project new life. Without it, the project may need an entirely new design — and parking for lots of cars.

lfind, lsearch - linear search of an arraySYNOPSIS
#include <search.h> void *lfind(const void *key, const void *base, size_t *nmemb, size_t size, int(*compar)(const void *, const void *)); void *lsearch(const void *key, void *base, size_t *nmemb, size_t size, int(*compar)(const void *, const void *));
lfind() and lsearch() perform a linear search for key in the array base which has *nmemb elements of size bytes each. The comparison function referenced by compar is expected to have two arguments which point to the key object and to an array member, in that order, and which returns zero if the key object matches the array member, and non-zero otherwise.If lsearch() does not find a matching element, then the key object is inserted at the end of the table, and *nmemb is incremented. In particular, one should know that a matching element exists, or that more room is available.
lfind() returns a pointer to a matching member of the array, or NULL if no match is found. lsearch() returns a pointer to a matching member of the array, or to the newly added member if no match is found.CONFORMING TO

"Today, more than ever, there is an implicit concern about protecting and securing sensitive files," said Erin Connor, lab director at EWA-Canada, the independent, third-party FIPS 140-2 testing lab that tested the GlobalSCAPE module for FIPS 140-2 validation. "With the validation of the cryptographic module in its Secure FTP Server solution, GlobalSCAPE has taken a significant step in ensuring its users that their files are safe and private. Throughout the process, GlobalSCAPE easily met all of the stringent requirements and testing to achieve FIPS 140-2 validation, resulting in a solution that not only adheres to the standard but offers the functionality and features needed to keep pace in today's marketplace."
GlobalSCAPE's Secure FTP Server Cryptographic Module Achieves FIPS ...
EWA-Canada's IT Security Evaluation & Test (ITSET) laboratory was the first lab accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) to perform Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) testing under the Information Security Automation Program.
The Information Security Automation Program (ISAP) is a U.S. government multi-agency initiative to enable automation and standardization of technical security operations. The Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) is a method for using specific standards to enable automated vulnerability management, measurement, and policy compliance evaluation (e.g., FISMA compliance). US Federal agencies must use certified tools to determine and verify that their systems are using the NIST – approved standard configuration(s). Vendor's tools that claim SCAP conformance can now be validated.
EWA-Canada's ITSET lab is also an accredited Common Criteria Test Lab (CCTL, or CLEF – Commercial Lab Evaluation Facility) and a device certification agent for the Payment Card Industry (PCI) and the Interac® Association (Canada's financial services network). The accreditation to perform SCAP testing expands our accreditation to perform FIPS 140 Cryptographic Module testing and FIPS 201 Personal Identity Verification (PIV) testing as a NVLAP Cryptographic and Security Testing lab. This new capability expands EWA-Canada's commitment to offer its clients one-stop shopping for all of their IT Security certification and validation testing needs.
The world's telephone companies and their suppliers gathered in Monte Carlo this spring for some high-stakes activity that had nothing to do with baccarat tables or roulette wheels. The focus of their high-level powwow was IP Multimedia Subsystem, or IMS, the technology that most big telcos had once identified as the industry-saving platform for creating more IP applications more quickly, enabling them to finally escape their dependence on a handful of commodity services.
In a recent survey of corporate users by Yankee Group Research, 86% of the 500 respondents said they had used at least one consumer technology in the workplace, for purposes related to both innovation and productivity. Unfortunately, this trend poses problems for IT organizations. For one thing, the use of these technologies increases the risk of security breaches. Moreover, users expect IT to support these devices and services, especially once they interact with applications in the corporate environment.
It seems like every month a new technology emerges with the potential to change everything. Technology writers and analysts get hyperexcited. Everyone starts patting one another on the back and hugging. And two years later, we're still talking about the promise of that technology, with little to show in the here and now.
The Good
By 2010, the average total cost of ownership of new PCs will decrease by 50%. The growing importance and focus on manageability, automation and reliability will help differentiate PCs in a market that is increasingly commoditized. Many of the manageability and support tools will be broadly available across multiple vendors. Vendors that can graduate from claims of mere "goodness" to concrete examples of cost savings will have an advantage.
The Bad
By the end of 2007, 75% of enterprises will be infected with undetected, financially motivated, targeted mal-ware. These attacks will evade traditional perimeter and host defenses. The threat environment is changing: Targeted attacks for financial gain are increasing, and automated mal-ware generation kits allow simple creation of thousands of variants quickly. But our security processes and technologies haven't kept up.
The Ugly
Through 2011, enterprises will waste $100 billion buying the wrong networking technologies and services. Enterprises are missing out on opportunities to build a network that would put them at a competitive advantage. Instead, they follow outdated design practices and collectively will waste at least $100 billion over the next five years.

Rome, Italy - Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ:RIMM)(TSX:RIM) today announced that its BlackBerry® Enterprise Server and BlackBerry® device software have been awarded Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level 2 augmented (EAL 2+) validations. The certifications were awarded at the 8th International Common Criteria Conference in Rome and acknowledge the robust security features of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Solution.
GlobalSCAPE (AMEX:GSB), a leading provider of products that allow companies to move, store and share files securely over the Internet, announced that the Cryptographic Module to be embedded in its Secure Server and flagship, enterprise-class EFT Server products, has satisfied Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) pre-validation requirements. The Cryptographic Module has been placed on the FIPS 140-2 pre-validation list and now awaits the final certification review. EWA Canada, contracted by GlobalSCAPE to perform the validation testing, submitted GlobalSCAPE's Cryptographic Module package and test report to NIST for review; certification is expected in Q1 2008.
RBC and Visa Canada are teaming up to be the first in Canada to pilot a mobile payment service that uses cell phones rather than traditional credit cards for making Visa purchases. The Ontario-based pilot is expected to be completed in 2008. As part of the pilot, mobile devices will be embedded with Near Field Communication (NFC) contactless chips.
With Canada and Mexico rapidly moving towards EMV deployment, witness the world's largest player in the credit card market, the United States, left out in the cold. Some say it's not a matter of if, but when, the U.S. will implement EMV. One reason: once its northern and southern neighbors are EMV-complaint, crooks may find much easier pickings in the U.S.

What an interesting idea for a briday shower - bring a bottle/share a bottle/give a bittle.
With regards to the world map, I find it interesting that the entire United States and Mexico are shaded in green and noted as tea producing countries when really only a small segment of the country is actually producing tea.
oh my... looks like I was drinking from the bittle at the briday shower... sorry for the typos!
(make that bottle... and bridal...)
Nancy, I thought the same thing as you about the map. It would appear that under their mapping guidelines then, that the UK should be shaded in green as well as Tregothanan is producing tea down in Cornwall....

Cedar Rapids Businessman Pleads Guilty
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- A disgraced Cedar Rapids businessman is expected to plead guilty to wire fraud stemming from accusations that he misappropriated nearly $1 million in investors' funds.
Jeffrey Kinseth is scheduled to appear Thursday in federal court in Cedar Rapids.
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission alleged last year that Kinseth and his company, Virtual Vision, defrauded investors. In a settlement, he agreed to pay a $575,000 penalty and another $575,000 in restitution.
A plea agreement released Wednesday show that Kinseth has agreed to plead guilty to wire fraud under a deal with the U.S. Attorney's office.
The commission said that he took money from 11 investors in 2008 and 2009 promising to trade futures or foreign currency contracts, but mostly used it to pay back other investors or for personal items.

The guys in his boat took to calling him "Badger" because of the grimace he wore during races. Part of a junior rowing club that ranked among the fastest in the nation, Lucas Goodman was relentless on the water.
It was a different story on land.
The teenager with the powerful build and close-set eyes had to be careful. He hung back ever so slightly when teammates shot the breeze, talking about girls.
"You get tired of constantly watching what you say, constantly watching how you act," he said.
Goodman felt so uneasy that he finally told the Green Lake Crew his secret: He is gay.
The 18-year-old belongs to an emerging generation of openly gay and lesbian athletes on high-school and college campuses across the country. These young men and women are quietly venturing where no active pro football or baseball star has gone, challenging the conformist, if not downright homophobic, tradition of the playing fields.
Their numbers are difficult to gauge because many confide only in peers. Experts chart the trend anecdotally through athletes who join gay-rights clubs at school, e-mail gay-rights advocates for advice or announce their sexual orientation on Web sites such as Facebook and MySpace.
"This is an issue that's in transition even as we speak," said Jay Coakley, a noted scholar and author on sports culture. "We're looking at how the world is changing."
Not all the stories have happy endings — a high-school football player in Northern California tells of being ostracized. But others say they were welcomed by their teams.
Sociologists see the openness as a generational shift. Polls suggest a growing percentage of young people have more relaxed views about sexual orientation.
In Seattle, Goodman began dropping hints around his 8-man boat more than a year ago. He talked with his best friend, and with another rower who seemed both understanding and physically large enough to make a good ally.
When word spread, no one teased or whispered about him. The crew saves money by sharing hotel beds on the road, and the teammate who bunks with Goodman didn't mind.
"So what if I sleep in the same bed with a straight guy or with Lucas?" Casey Ellis asked. "Either way, there's going to be another guy there with me."
Within a few weeks, Goodman figures, the surprise of his announcement wore off and "it ended up not being that big a deal."
Which is what makes his story, and others like it, a very big deal.
"Oh, you didn't know?"
Allan Acevedo tends to speak hurriedly, words stacking up against each other as he rushes through a telling anecdote.
Two years ago, he and the rest of the track team from Bonita High School in La Verne, Calif., were talking idly before a meet.
"When I get married," he recalled saying, "the guy has to be ... "
A teammate interrupted. "Did you say guy?"
"Oh," Acevedo replied. "You didn't know?"
Young athletes come out for various reasons. Goodman tired of pretending to like girls. Acevedo had something different in mind.
He volunteers for gay-rights groups and said he once tried to enlist in the military to confront the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. When he insisted on telling, he said, the recruiter declined to complete his paperwork.
Acevedo joined the track team partly for love of the sport and partly to break stereotypes: "I wanted to say that I'm more than just gay."
Some teammates at Bonita High quietly switched aisles in the locker room, he said. Others seemed to run harder in practice, apparently determined not to lose to a gay guy.
Acevedo was undeterred, and was open about his sexual orientation when he transferred to a Chula Vista, Calif., school. At 18, he finds support in a development that encourages other young gay athletes: a shift in public opinion.
A 2007 Gallup Poll found that 57 percent of Americans viewed homosexuality as an "acceptable alternative lifestyle," an increase of 11 percentage points from four years ago. The percentage was higher among 18- to 29-year-olds.
Almost three-quarters of heterosexual adults said they would not change their feelings toward a favorite male athlete if he came out, according to a recent survey by Harris Interactive and Witeck-Combs Communications.
"It's not like the old days," said David Kopay, a former NFL player who stirred controversy by announcing he was homosexual in 1975.
Back then, gay athletes felt compelled to keep quiet, fearing hostile locker rooms and coaches who might cut them from the team.
Like Kopay, a former University of Washington player, others waited until retirement to come out. In baseball, there were former major-leaguers Glenn Burke and Billy Bean; in football, Roy Simmons of the New York Giants and Washington Redskins and, five years ago, Esera Tuaolo, who played for several NFL teams.
John Amaechi revealed his sexual orientation in a recent autobiography, "Man in the Middle," published after he left the Utah Jazz of the NBA. He sensed the change in attitude on a promotional visit at a Southern college.
"A bunch of shirtless frat guys playing volleyball recognized me and started yelling," he said. "They were saying that they love what I'm doing."
Joey Fisher encountered a similar response at the University of Georgia, where his teammates recall thinking, "Wow, gay people play hockey?" when the goalie came out. No one mentioned anything to him at first.
Then, Fisher said, "about three days into training camp, one of my teammates tried to set me up with a friend of his. A guy."
Open on the field
As a freshman at Harvard, Sarah Vaillancourt simply decided to stop hiding her sexual orientation.
Whenever the subject of dating or relationships arose, she spoke frankly.
"If they weren't going to accept me on the team," she said, "I wasn't going to stay."
It helped that Vaillancourt quickly established herself among the top scorers on her college hockey squad and a rising star for Team Canada back home in Quebec. But she knew that as a lesbian, she would encounter challenges different from those facing gay male athletes.
On the plus side, she grew up with role models such as Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova in tennis, Sheryl Swoopes in basketball and Rosie Jones in golf. Fans have come to expect a certain percentage of gays in women's sports.
This expectation also counts as a negative. In some circles, athletic women are automatically presumed gay, which can spark resentment among straight athletes.
Vaillancourt, so candid at Harvard, acknowledges she is more cautious around the Canadian national team.
"They don't want me to talk about it so much because if one person comes out, everyone's [going to be labeled] a lesbian," she said. "My whole team is not lesbian."
Singled out
The gym door was locked when Brian Schwind and his football teammates trudged off the practice field that day almost three years ago. As they waited for coaches with a key, Schwind realized he was surrounded.
The sophomore was new to Foothill High School near Redding, Calif. By football standards he was smallish, only 5 feet 7. The larger players crowding around him demanded to know: Was he gay?
"Either I could tell the truth and have the crap beat out of me or I could lie and save myself," Schwind said. "My mom always told me to stand up for what I believe, so I told them."
A linebacker stepped in to prevent further trouble, but for the rest of the fall Schwind felt ostracized. After football, he went out for wrestling.
"Nobody wanted to wrestle with me," he recalled.
His experience offers a reminder that poll numbers and television ratings for "Will & Grace" do not always translate to the schoolyard. A 2005 survey by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network found that 64 percent of homosexual students had experienced some form of harassment in school.
By his junior year, Schwind gave up football and wrestling, sticking to swimming, where he felt more accepted.
"There can be a close-minded shell around sports," he said.
More than just gay
When Goodman thought about coming out, he wasn't terribly concerned about acceptance — not as an accomplished rower and honors student headed to MIT this fall. He knew that Seattle had a large gay population and that crew was "one of the most elitist liberal yuppie sports you could think of."
Goodman was more fearful his sexual orientation might overshadow everything else.
"I want to be known as a rower," he said. "Not as the gay kid."
On a recent afternoon, the rowers shouldered their sleek boat to Green Lake. They were in a good mood after winning a silver medal at the U.S. Rowing youth national championship, joking and laughing, talking about parties.
It was the type of chatter that used to make Goodman nervous. Not anymore.

POSTED: Wednesday, October 2, 2013 - 6:26pm
UPDATED: Thursday, October 3, 2013 - 7:55am
The city of Gonzales is a sleepy town of just over 7000 just off Interstate 10 between Houston and San Antonio.
But today we mark the day when it was much more than that.
As battles go, it wasn't much of one.
Two dead on one side, none on the other.
But its significance goes far beyond the numbers.
On this day in 1835, the first battle of the Texas Revolution was fought.
And an iconic symbol was born.
Four years earlier, the government of Mexico had given settlers in the town a small cannon to help fend off Comanche raiding parties.
But when revolution and independence were sweeping through the Mexican state of Texas, the government asked for the gun back.
The colonists refused, and Mexican General Francisco de Castañeda and 100 dragoons or cavalry were sent to get it back by force if necessary.
Texians under Colonel John Moore resisted and after several hours of rather lazy firing, the Mexicans withdrew.
Militarily, it was pretty slim pickings, but symbolically, it was the Texas equivalent of Lexington or Concord.
Two women of the town, Cynthia Burns and Evaline DeWitt, painted these symbols on a piece of white cotton, creating a flag that has been borrowed or appropriated by various groups over the years.
But 178 years ago, it meant the first stirrings of the short war that later the next spring, resulted in the independence of Texas.

Hennessy and the National Gallery of Ireland today announced the 12 finalists chosen for the Hennessy Portrait Prize 2014. Selected by an esteemed panel of judges; which included Dr Declan Long (NCAD), Donald Teskey RHA, Cristín Leach Hughes (The Sunday Times), Janet McLean (NGI), and chaired by the Director of the National Gallery of Ireland, Sean Rainbird, the 12 finalists were chosen from more than 400 entries from artists living in Ireland and Irish artists abroad.
The short-listed artists for the Hennessy Portrait Prize 2014 are:
The short-listed artists' works will be exhibited in the National Gallery of Ireland from 8 November 2014 until 8 February, 2015. On Tuesday, 11 November, one artist will be announced as the winner of the Hennessy Portrait Prize 2014 and will receive a prize of €15,000. The winning artist will also be awarded a commission worth €5,000 to produce a portrait of an Irish sitter for inclusion in the National Portrait Collection.
Commenting on the finalists, Caroline Sleiman, market development manager for Moët Hennessy said: 'Hennessy has always been a dedicated supporter of cultural events in Ireland and the Hennessy Portrait Prize 2014 is testament to our ongoing commitment to acknowledging and celebrating Irish artistic talent. We were delighted that so many Irish artists, both living here and abroad, chose to send work to be considered for this prize while passionately committing to their chosen media. We are encouraged to see such a variety of distinctive and contemporary portraiture in this, the inaugural competition, and look forward to celebrating such skill and creativity in modern portraiture for many years to come.'
Adding to this, Sean Rainbird, Director of the National Gallery of Ireland said: "The National Gallery of Ireland houses a national collection of portraiture, a collection initiated under Henry Doyle in the 1880s. This partnership with Hennessy is the first time the Gallery has approached the task of adding to this part of the collection through a competitive process. While all the works of art are unique and difficult to compare, it has been extremely invigorating to look at over 400 entries submitted for this inaugural prize, and to see the jury weigh up the contrasting qualities of so many distinctive portraits in different media with such passionate commitment and attention to detail."
Speaking on behalf of the judging panel, Dr Declan Long added: "As judges we have been very pleased to be able to present such a tremendously diverse shortlist. There are paintings, photographs and videos addressing a vibrant mixture of subjects, in a great range of styles, created by both established artists and artists at the very beginning of their career. As such, we hope that this selection gives a strong sense of the many and varied possibilities for portraiture today."
The Hennessy Portrait Prize was launched in March 2014. Open to artists in all disciplines, the competition's aim is to showcase and encourage interest in contemporary portraiture, and to raise the profile of the long-standing and constantly evolving National Portrait Collection at the National Gallery of Ireland.

Hansel and Gretel is a well-loved fairy tale from the Brothers Grimm that got a re-imagination with the 2013 film Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. Starring Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton, this film packs in a violent punch in this once-innocent fairy tale. As a continuation of the tale, the siblings have grown up as accomplished hunters after their experience with a witch. See them in action in this TV spot below as posted in the MediaFreaks 3D Animation Studio Blog.
Tommy Wirkola directed this action-horror dark fantasy film and comedian Will Ferrell is listed in the credits as one of the producers of the movie. The movie actually finished shooting early but it was delayed for ten months to give way to Renner's appearances in The Avengers and Bourne Legacy.

NICOLAS FEUILLATTE 'PALMES DOR' BRUT CHAMPAGNE VINTAGE 1998, 750ml (Bottle)
- This Palmes dOr style is used to create a wine rather than a Champagne
- A mix of apricot, dried cherry and lemon aromas
- The 1998 Brut Cuvee Palmes dOr is a sexy drink. While not a blockbuster, the wine reveals an engaging, harmonious personality. The open, inviting bouquet leads to an expressive, generous core of fruit with pretty notes of early tertiary character that add complexity. Brioche, hazelnuts, dried pears and dried apricots linger on a long, beautifully articulated finish

Norwood, MA (11/29/2010) - Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) today announced the industry's smallest, single-chip receivers to incorporate HDMI® (High-Definition Multimedia Interface®) Specification version 1.4a support for 3-D display resolutions and extended colorimetry. ADI's ADV7611 low-power, 165-MHz receiver and the ADV7612 225-MHz, dual-port receiver with Xpressview™ fast switching technology enable A/V (audio/video) designers to deliver rich feature sets and HD performance traditionally reserved for higher priced entertainment systems. Compared to competitive offerings, the ADV7611 (10 mm x 10 mm x 1.6 mm) and ADV7612 (14 mm x 14 mm x 1.6 mm) offer a 50 percent smaller footprint and a 25 percent reduction in power consumption for designs with 720p and 1080p resolutions. The receivers extend ADI's Advantiv® advanced TV solutions portfolio and are effective for power-sensitive, ultra-slim HTIB (home theater-in-a-box) systems, projectors, AVRs (audio/video receivers), HBR (high-bit-rate) TVs, matrix switches and sound bar speaker systems.
"Until today, designers of high-performance A/V portable devices and infotainment systems were forced to use multiple, higher-power components to offer system designs with feature-rich interfaces," said Charles O'Roark, product line director, digital video products, Analog Devices. "By incorporating ADI's low-power receiver, HDMI technology, and a feature-rich A/V interface onto a single chip, designers can achieve an unequalled combination of performance and accuracy, while eliminating the power limitations that restrict portability and increase system design cost."
The ADV7611 enables portable designers to achieve 1080p/60f display resolution with 24-bit color. For high-performance A/V systems, the ADV7612 offers 1080p/60f display resolution with up to 36-bit Deep Color and incorporates ADI's proprietary Xpressview fast switching technology, which enables seamless, automatic switching between HDMI-enabled devices in less than one second. The receivers are available in automotive and industrial grades. Each receiver features an on-chip CEC (consumer electronics component) controller, support for HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection) 1.4 and complete audio support of S/PDIF (Sony/Philips digital interface format) for compressed audio, including Dolby Digital® and DTS®; and 2-channel I2S audio for transmitting stereo at sample rates up to 192 kHz. The ADV7612 allows for optional inclusion of embedded support for HDCP 1.4 content protection.
The receivers are compatible with other Analog Devices components, including the Advantiv advanced TV switches; Blackfin® and SHARC® processors; the SoundMAX® portfolio of audio algorithms and codecs; and power management ICs.

We are only able to attach a property listing to one agent as the system pulls only the information of the primary agent listed in MLS. If you would like to have the listing linked to your contact information, the property listing would need to be updated in the MLS to reflect you as the primary listing agent. I am the home seller. How can i list my property on AOL Real Estate? "For Sale by Owner" properties cannot be directly uploaded onto the site. In order for property listings to be displayed in a search, they must be entered into an MLS and marked to display on the internet. Please be advised that we show only active residential listings from most MLSs; therefore, if your listing is commercial, pending, or marked exclusive agency, it will not display. There is no charge to download and display the basic listing information from the MLS – this would include up to 4 images and the brokerage information. This is one of the many advantages of working with a professional REALTOR® in the home buying or selling process. Please contact a local REALTOR® for further assistance or information. How are home values determined? The property-related information used in estimating home value is obtained from public records and other sources. While such information is thought to be reliable, it is not guaranteed and should be independently verified. Properties labeled "Not for Sale" are classified as such either because we do not have a record of such properties currently being for sale or because we are not permitted, by contract, law, or otherwise, to designate such properties as currently for sale. For the most accurate and up to date status of this or any other property, please contact a REALTOR. |

Research Review Process
Research is defined as a systematic investigation, including research development, testing and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge. Human subjects are living individuals about whom an investigator (whether professional or student) conducting research obtains (1) Data through intervention or interaction with the individual, or (2) Identifiable private information. (45 CFR 46, 46.102)
- If you are a faculty, staff or student at Regent University and your research involves the use of human subjects and you intend to externally disseminate the results (e.g., via publication, presentation, grant application, etc.) then your research requires human subjects review.
- Assignments which are part of normal, typical coursework that are not intended for dissemination are not required to undergo human subjects review; however, faculty are responsible for informing students of proper procedures regarding the conduct of such research and for monitoring the work done by students. Introductory letters and other informed consent language must identify the course and include a statement that the faculty of record (by name) has reviewed and approved the research design, which includes any associated instrumentation. Additionally, surveys or other data collection efforts for the purpose of program or institutional improvement and are not intended for dissemination are not required to undergo review. Such efforts are still required to be conducted in an ethical manner that includes appropriate participant protections. Human subjects data collected in such activities may not be used in future publications or presentations. There will be no ex post facto approval of such activities to legitimize turning these studies into approved human research.
Application Steps
The human subjects review process involves several important steps. To ensure that there are minimal delays in the in review process, it will imperative that these steps are taken.
- Prior to submitting a human subjects review application, all investigators (whether faculty, staff, or students) must successfully complete a training program in order for the research proposal to be reviewed by the committee. The training program is available online and can be completed at your own pace.
- National Institute of Health through the Human Participants Protection Education for Research Teams course. An attached completion certificate must be included with the application (scans and screenshots are acceptable). This training must be renewed every 5 years. This course can be found at: http://phrp.nihtraining.com/
- Investigators who propose studies with patient populations are required to document HIPAA training.
- Investigators must access the NIH booklet entitled, "Protecting Personal Health Information in Research: Understanding the HIPAA Privacy Rule" at: http://privacyruleandresearch.nih.gov/pr_02.asp
- Investigators must read, submit and sign the HIPAA Training Verification Form with the proposal packet. This training will need to be verified every 12 months that the researcher has read the material in it's updated form in that time period with a memo. The attachment must include the date when the material was read, which must be 12 months prior to the review application.
- The principal investigator will need to complete the Human Subjects Review Form. If the investigator is a student, a faculty member must serve as the co-investigator. It is strongly encouraged that faculty members serving as co-investigators for students review the final version of the completed template before submitting it to the HSRC. Delays in the review process are typically the result of students requiring clarification on the template information and these questions can typically be resolved prior to the formal review process.
- The investigators will submit all supplemental materials as a SINGLE FILE (typically in Microsoft Word) to the email address associated with your school's committee member. Supplemental materials include a) a copy of your training/s certificate/s, b) surveys, questionnaires and/or interview instruments, c) informed consent forms or statements, d) letters of approval from cooperative agencies and e) debriefing statements of explanation sheets. If survey or materials cannot be included in a Word document then a copy of the material should be delivered to your school's committee member.
Application Review
After you submit your proposal it will be classified by your department's representative as either
- Full committee Review: These are more than minimal risk studies that require a committee to approve them. This includes studies with vulnerable populations (such as children or prisoners) and sensitive questions as well as any study with potential physical risk. These studies are brought to the committee for review and voted on for approval. Expect at least a one month response rate once the application is properly completed.
- Expedited Review: No more than minimal risk studies. These studies include studies such as data collected through non-invasive means, collection of video or voice, or research employing survey, interview, oral history, focus group, program evaluation, human factors evaluation, or quality assurance methodologies. These studies are reviewed by two committee members. Expect a two week return rate.
- Exempt Review: Lowest risk studies, typically anonymous surveys that do not include highly sensitive information. These studies (if all necessary information is attached) are typically returned within one week.
We know that research is time-sensitive and needs to be completed efficiently. Note that the typical turn around time for submissions assumes that all information submitted was complete and clear to the readers. Additional information gathering or clarifications can add time.
Please direct any questions to your school's HSR Committee representative. Additional questions may be directed to the HSR Committee Chair, Dr. Jason Baker, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 757-352-4447.

Splendid Opportunities in Nursing
22Jan 13, '13 by brian, ADN AdminNurses, make $30-$35 a week!
The Chicago School of Nursing was one of the first, largest and most popular of the Home Study nursing programs The school was founded in 1899 by Dr. Orville Juan Perkins, a graduate of Bellevue Hospital Medical College. Thousands of women compleated the 53 printed lessons and sent answers back by mail and became nurses.
This 30 page booklet "Splendid Opportunities in Nursing" was published in 1936 and explains in detail how the program works. The booklet answers all the questions one might have about the school and its gradates "INTRODUCTORY ANNOUNCEMENT: The reputation and standing of the Chicago School of Nursing is international. Our students come from every state in the union as well as from foreign countries and C.S.N. graduates are successful everywhere. In our long years of successful teaching - the Chicago School of Nursing was founded in 1899 - we have helped thousands of ambitious women to achieve success. Read this book carefully. It contains a message of vital importance for YOU." The C.S.N. played a big part in the early history of nursing and this is a wonderful nursing collectible.

2Jan 13, '13 by Kidrn911Reminds me of the online courses they offer these daysGood Morning, Gil and sapphire18 like this.
0Jan 13, '13 by ianursing22I believe there are still splendid opportunities open for nurses until now!!=)
11Jan 13, '13 by marcos9999Yes if some of the big conglomo hospitals had their way we would be all making $30 - 35 /week
6Jan 14, '13 by BrandonLPNI'm guessing they were practical nurses? Once upon a time all one needed to be a practical nurse was a certificate from a doctor stating that he deems you capable in providing competent bedside care.
I've actually seen this ad in old comic books. Makes you wonder who their target audience was.Last edit by BrandonLPN on Jan 14, '13 -
3Jan 14, '13 by alotusforyouAdjusted for inflation, $30-35 is $496 - $579 in 2012 dollars. I guess that probably was a good deal during the Great Depression, although they probably all ended up with less student loan debt (or none!) than we do today!!
One of my favorite writers, Dorothy Day, was a nurse and lived in Chicago in the early 1900s. I wonder if she went to this program? -
4Jan 14, '13 by marcos9999Quote from alotusforyouVery good point alotusforyou!! That is exactly what I tell people who wants to go into nursing school right now. Do not sink that much money into it, you might get Royaly disappointed.they probably all ended up with less student loan debt (or none!) than we do today!!
4Jan 14, '13 by twetekittyLaugh as you all may............. as an LPN in the early 70's, I made $94.00 a week....... in the mid 70's as an RN....... I made $160.00 a week. Just think about that one and this was probably 50 years after the ad for $30-35 per week....We got by back then and learned to budget and that you couldn't have everything you wanted and if you wanted it bad enough, it was saved for rather than put on "credit". This world of "immediate gratification" is going to be part of our downfall.

National Multiple Sclerosis Society
This medication is taken by injection. The information in this medication sheet has been adapted from the FDA-approved prescribing information for Avonex.
Avonex is a medication manufactured by a biotechnological process from one of the naturally-occurring interferons (a type of protein). It is made up of exactly the same amino acids (major components of proteins) as the interferon beta found in the human body. In controlled clinical trials in relapsing MS, those taking the medication had a reduced risk of disability progression, experienced fewer exacerbations, and showed a reduction in number and size of active lesions in the brain (as shown on MRI) when compared with the group taking a placebo. In a subsequent study of patients who had experienced a single demyelinating event in the optic nerve, spinal cord, or brainstem, and had lesions typical of MS on brain MRI, Avonex significantly delayed the time to a second exacerbation, and thus to a clinically definite diagnosis of MS.
Avonex is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with relapsing forms of MS to slow the accumulation of physical disability and decrease the frequency of clinical exacerbations. Patients with MS in whom efficacy has been demonstrated include those who have experienced a first clinical episode and have MRI features consistent with MS.
In February, 2012, the FDA approved the AVONEX PEN single-use prefilled autoinjector. It contains the same dose of medication (30 micrograms) as the prefilled syringe and the powder vial. The PEN is made up of a prefilled glass syringe surrounded by an autoinjector. Like other forms of this medication, the autoinjector should be stored in the refrigerator until 30 minutes prior to use.
The FDA also approved a gradually-increasing dosing schedule for people starting the medication, which is designed to reduce the incidence and severity of flu-like symptoms that sometimes occur. The schedule for dose titration is as follows:
Week 1 7.5 micrograms (1/4 dose)
Week 2 15 micrograms (1/2 dose)
Week 3 22.5 micrograms (3/4 dose)
Week 4 and following full dose
The AVOSTARTGRIP titration kit is available for use with the prefilled syringe (see below) to deliver the titrated doses over the first three weeks.

After earning a $50,000 award for its work on the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) campus in Saudi Arabia, the HOK team behind the project donated it to Project Haiti Orphanage and Children's Center in Port-au-Prince. The architectural firm is no stranger to the orphanage—an all-volunteer HOK IMPACT team has worked in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to design the facility. The donation follows a $20,000 personal gift from HOK chairman emeritus Bill Valentine, FAIA.
Project Haiti, which replaces an orphanage destroyed by the 2010 earthquake, employs a net-zero-energy design that uses passive and renewable energies to create a safe, healthy environment. The building's systems will provide independence from Port-au-Prince's unreliable power grid, while a closed-loop system collects, treats, and stores water on-site to ensure a safe water supply. Flanking the main stair, vertical green walls feature perches for endemic epiphytes, or air plants. The rooftop garden supports the orphanage's solar energy system and includes beds for urban farming. The sustainable design also celebrates Haitian arts and crafts culture.
"Our design team used biomimicry to create a locally attuned, responsive building," says Thomas Knittel, AIA, HOK's lead designer for the project. "Biomimicry teaches us that a greater understanding of the commonalities between adaptions in a biome can serve as a guide for place-based design."
The USGBC has nearly raised enough money to begin construction this spring, enabling the orphanage to open one year later.

America's Next Top Model used to be that show you watched with anticipation, but it's become that old habit we can't drop yet so here's Tyra Banks using her Harvard degree for a College Edition with a new line-up of judges, but sadly, Kelly Cutrone wasn't axed with the good ones like Jay Manuel, Jay Alexander and Nigel Barker.
I have watched Tyra Banks and her America's Next Top Model since it started on a whole other network that got combined into the CW. It was such a fun show that seemed to take the modeling world seriously and give girls a chance to enter that world who wouldn't normally have been able to. Then the Angelea Preston controversy happened which turned many longtime fans off. Then the British Invasion season hit with a spectacular dud and ratings continued falling for the show. Tyra Banks went on a bloodbath firing spree getting rid of what made the show feel like it still had some integrity Jay Alexander, Jay Manuel and Nigel Barker.
Back in April when the firing spree hit, sources over at the CW told me that if things didn't pick up quickly, there wouldn't be a Season/Cycle 20. I got a call from them this week and this College Edition isn't sounding like things are getting better. Here's what they had to say. "The CW wasn't happy with last cycle's ratings so they pushed Top Model to the awful Friday slot. Tyra was furious, but it feels like the show is still in a downward spiral. The core of the show is gone after the two Jay's and Nigel were cut loose, but they've all said that they're glad to be off the sinking ship."
These were the same sources that said there would be a fashion blogger on the show (which there is) along with a social media element. Sadly, that's there too with the new voting system which just spells disaster. As you'll see in the very big photo gallery down below, most of the images spell out what will be happening over this entire season so no fun surprises either. It sounds like the only surprise now is for the show to make it another season.
Tyra Banks and Kelly Cutrone will be joined by fashion blogger Bryanboy, the show's new social media correspondent, male model Rob Evans, photo shoot stylist Johnny Wujek and "movement mentor" Jonte.
Here's how the confusing new viewer voting system worked since the show is taped ahead of time. All during this summer, Tyra encouraged Top Model to vote and comment online about this season's photo shoots in real time as they happened. I know, who bothers voting on a reality show when it's not even on the air yet, but there's always people out there that will Here's the CW to explain how that works:
"The audience vote is compiled from an average of each of the viewer's numerical online and mobile votes. These scores will be added to scores from Banks and the judges to help determine who is eliminated each week. Also, in a new twist, the girls who have already been eliminated will have the opportunity to return to the competition via votes on their photo shoot pictures, which will allow the audience the chance to save their favorite model."
Yes, I know, how in the world can they keep viewers (what's left of them, at least) from knowing who won ahead of time? It appears that they've had all the models participate in all the photo shoots ala how Project Runway has contestants take part in the big Fashion Show so as not to give anything away. The gallery below is every one of those pictures so you can judge for yourself…but it's too late to have any impact now though. It's hard to say how much impact the voters who did do this will have on the outcome. Past judge Janice Dickinson would have plenty to say on that, I know.
It also appears that both CoverGirl and Vogue Italia have dropped out of the grand prize package too. Remember when Andre Leon Talley really heightened the show with his fashion background but naturally Tyra got rid of him. For me, that's the last good bearable season of the show. Now, the lucky girl gets a fashion feature in Nylon Magazine, as well as $100,000 cash and campaigns with Nine West and Smashbox Cosmetics, in addition to a modeling contract with LA/NY Models and being named the face of America's Next Top Model perfume Dream Come True.
The girls will get Alicia Keys as a mentor for the video challenge this season at least. May Tyra would be wise to bring in a surprise like Angelea Preston since that would definitely get her a much needed ratings spike. For a peek to see the girls and what they have to say, check out them all out here.

Today we went to the Deutsches Museum. This took up much of our day as the place is really quite large. It is on par with the Smithsonian in Washington DC.
Lots and lots to see. Including an Enigma Machine
Also, the geek in my was happy to see a very well preserved UNIVAC 1, the first commercial computer produced in the United States
After spending the day in the museum we had a late lunch/early dinner at a little Italian restaurant near the hotel.
From there we walked over to have a look at the Hofbräuhaus. I had been to the one in Las Vegas so thought I should see the original.
Sadly, today's activities were not filled with many photographic opportunities. I don't do well shooting in museums. But I did come away with one shot I really like. This is the spiral staircase inside the Deutsches Museum.
Time to rest up for tomorrow. Did I mention it is VERY cold here?

Feel free to poke around and look at my musings, ramblings and my modest efforts at photography.

On Jan 23, we maintained our Outperform recommendation on Standard Motor Product Inc. ( SMP ) based on its strong brand recognition, less cyclical end-market and efficient debt management measures. Why Maintained? Standard Motor's adjusted earnings per share in the 2012-third quarter went up 23.7% year over year to 73 cents, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 9 cents. Revenues increased 16.8% to $276.0 million, ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $258.0 million, driven by the positive impact from the company's recent acquisitions and strong performance of the company's Temperature Control segment. Over the past four quarters, Standard Motors has delivered an average surprise of 0.33%. Following the release of the third quarter results, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2012 increased 7.9% to $1.77 per share. Moreover, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2013 also increased 6.3% to $2.03 per share. With the Zacks Consensus Estimates for both 2012 and 2013 going up, the company retains a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). Standard Motor benefits from its strong brand recognition and wide customer base. With a focus on the aftermarket, the company is less exposed to the cyclical automotive industry. The company will benefit from the rising demand of repair products due to the improved used vehicles market, increase in the number of automobiles on the road and rise in the average age of vehicles in the U.S. However, the company faces challenges from concentrated customer base. The company's top five customers include Advance Auto Parts Inc. ( AAP ) and O'Reilly Automotive Inc. ( ORLY ). These companies account for more than 10% of the company's revenues. Other Stocks to Consider Apart from Standard Motor, other stocks that are performing well in the industry where the company operates include Tesla Motors ( TSLA ). It retains a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

U-Gene Chinn was born in Denver, Colorado and moved to Phoenix, Arizona when he was in middle school. He's always been a huge fan of music but throughout the years he grew more fond of hip-hop and rap. He started off freestyling and discovered his natural ability to not only rhyme words but to control a crowd at the same time. From then on he started writing and putting tracks together. The recognition he got from family and friends pushed him to take it to the next level. He entered in a competition at a local club in the summer of 2010 for a chance to open up for some well known artists. Despite barely losing, he stayed positive and took it as a learning experience so he could better himself as an artist and performer. Since then he's opened for mainstream artists, such as Ray J, 3 6 Mafia, Kid Ink, MGK, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. He also supports other local artists on stage by using his stage presence to hype their performances. He is determined and dedicated to expanding his fan base and furthering his career as an artist. U-Gene is currently working on a couple mixtapes. "Zero Patience" is his main project containing all original beats and "Da ReMiX" being a collection of remixed main stream tracks. He's also stepping in front of the camera to shoot music videos for few of the tracks on the mixtapes. With clever lyrics and unique style his music is sure to have something for everyone to appreciate.
