Best Live Band
Manifest Test Subject
When Mike and Pete Campbell perform their mind-boggling, hypnotic prog-metal, it's a difficult phenomenon to ignore. Not only does the complexity of the musical arrangements crack open heads like calculus on acid but it's executed with joy and a flair so furious that audience members are often too happily captivated to notice that their brains are being rewired. Indeed, it…

Best Country Band
Paul Wilson and Friends Songwriters
Paul Wilson's music stains the mind like tobacco, rusty-gold. His voice hangs in the air like smoke. He carries on the tradition of the old singin' cowboy with the authenticity of a passing train. A cool, seasoned character with long white hair and beard to match, he's just the guy you want to have singing to you about riding the…

The Resolvers
The phrase "breath of fresh air" does not provide the oomph needed to describe just how special the Resolvers are. The Resolvers are like a ganja-tinged hurricane wind from the deep lungs of a giant Rastaman ripping out the end of a scorching-hot brass horn as just the funk the doctor ordered. Their unique sound, which the 11-piece calls "big…

Best Folk Band
Unity Rise
Unity Rise is a cast of radicals more likely to belt out their riotous folk-punk songs in the trenches of an anti-imperialist protest than on a proper stage. In either case, they require no amplification. They are loud. They sound like a tightly clenched fist being raised into the polluted air of an unjust society. They hold nothing back. For…

Best Jam Band
The Funky Nuggets
After winning a contest to play Aura Fest 2012 in Central Florida, the Funky Nuggets were not invited back to play Aura Fest 2013. This was quite a bummer for Frankie Sensimilla, the band's charismatic, guitar-shredding leader, who got naked (except for an Aura wristband, which he is still wearing) for the band's 2012 Aura performance, and for the rest…

Best Rock Band
Suede Dudes
Without knowing the backstory, the average listener will have a difficult time placing where and when Suede Dudes' droning, sludgy postpunk comes from. It is because of this timeless, unidentifiable character that we give this Fort Lauderdale quartet such kudos. The fuzzy guitar lines, reverb-drenched vocals, and white-noise-laden hue heard on 2012 effort Mutant Meat give the notion that it…

Best Metal Band
There's something oddly relaxing about listening to the roar of aggravated metal vocals backed with the rumble of pure evil. Sure, at first, your shoulders tighten to your ears. You're facing the deep, pounding speed that comes from the stage when Broward death-metal act Beastplague performs. Yeah, your blood pressure shoots up until the blood vessels in your eyes burst…

Best Hip-Hop Act
Gaps (BLS)
With the diversity that Black Locust Society has brought to Broward County, there is no shortage of talented 20-somethings making music of all kinds and certainly no shortage of the hip-hop sound within the confines of a group. Though there is one that stands out above the rest this year, and while the hunt for Best Hip-Hop Act grew increasingly…

Best Electronica Artist
Drowning the Virgin Silence
The guy with the gaunt face and freestanding black hair that you see all the time as you slink through the aisles of Radio-Active Records is Richard Vergez. He's the creative director there, but making the store's website is definitely not all he does with his time. Vergez is a musician who gets dark and synthy with Mothersky and totally…

Best Album
Cop City Chill Pillars -
Like you dipped your whole head into a vat of liquid acid. Like someone you truly love and trust massaged your eardrums, bringing them to the heights of orgiastic pleasure. Like your brain cells took the shape and colors of Sesame Street numbers, connected by taut, then vibrating, guitar-string synapses. This is the effect Cop City Chill Pillars' 2012 album,…

Gaby's in Pembroke Pines - CLOSED
You take one more shot at the bar and you're basically ready to sing your favorite song in front of a crowded room of strangers. Then you turn back for another. Just because. OK, now you're totally ready to belt it out — you're going to morph into Madonna up there! You are the Material Girl! You grab the mic…

Latrice Royale
Nope, that wasn't an earthquake. Those shaking windows and shivering chandeliers, that was Latrice "Mother*$@#in'" Royale's booming voice rocking the whole of Wilton Manors. You can just hear the supersized mama yelling "The shade of it all!" while flapping a Spanish fan in front of her big, brown, lacquered face. Latrice Royale. She's a woman, but she's more than twice…

Best Local Music Festival
Block x Blog
A local music festival was born on April 20, 2013, in a whirl of tattoos, plaid skinny jeans, guitars, turntables, and dancing feet. This bouncing baby was named Block x Blog. It swept through Revolution Live, Green Room, and America's Backyard on the international day of stoners and Record Store Day, bringing with it a barrage of admirers. A particularly…

Best Dance Club
The Manor Complex
The thump of the bass is making your teeth shatter. You're smashed between the sweaty pumped pecs of a beefy Italian on one side and the sequins of a drag queen's dress on the other. Your arms sway to the sounds as rainbow-colored confetti falls lightly on your wet shoulders, sticking to your hair. Your drenched tank top is shoved…

Best Music Venue
Respectable Street Café
Residing on Clematis Street in downtown West Palm Beach since 1987, Respectables is the longest-running nightclub in the southeastern U.S. — and for good reason. Not only does RSC feature local and nationally known DJs to curate dance-floor shenanigans throughout the week but it's also been a hub for some of alternative music's most crucial musicians. With a simple stage…

"Techno and tacos" are two things DJ Donnie Lowe loves in this world, along with making people dance, of course. Resident DJ at Gryphon Nightclub, located at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Lowe has been spinning records for the past five years. What sets Lowe apart from a lot of young DJs is that he spins wax as…

Cowboy's Saloon
It's Friday night. That means ladies' night at Cowboy's Saloon. So squeeze into some Tight Fittin' Jeans, hop into your Big Ol' Truck, and head over to the unassuming strip mall in Davie. Once inside, check out the talent — Wrangler's, cowboy hats, and heeled boots all around. Country Girl, Shake It for Me — you say to one ponytailed…

Best College Bar
America's Backyard
It's Thursday night. While you could stay home in your Pink sweats and watch Community, you and your friends are totes down to get shitfaced instead. YOLO and all that. So throw on some high-waisted neon shorts, scrounge up some stray dollars from the couch cushions, and make your way to America's Backyard. College night means $1 drinks, $1 drafts. Challenge…

Best Gay Bar
Cubby Hole
No offense to the gays of Wilton Manors, but sometimes that scene can be a little elitist and thus borrrring. It's on those downer days that you need to march your queer ass over to the Cubby Hole. It's located in one of the coolest strip malls ever, right next to Radio-Active Records and Arcade Game Sales. (Just let the…

Best New Bar
The Royal Pig Pub
The pub craze is blazing through Fort Lauderdale; some are as old as the city itself (or so they smell), and some are so new that the paint on the sign hasn't even dried before every seat in the house is filled. Almost overnight, the Royal Pig Pub appeared on the west end of Las Olas and has become an…

Best Bar in Palm Beach County
Square Grouper Tiki Bar
In the 1800s, this saloon hosted sailors making their way toward the Jupiter Lighthouse. In the 1900s, it hosted President Grover Cleveland. Today, it is a rad little beach shack with tropical-colored paint, sand floors, twinkle lights, and a marina. Everyone — laid-back boat bums, young professionals kicking back, your dad and his friend in Dockers and Guy Harvey shirts…

Best Bar in Broward County
Tap 42 Bar & Kitchen
Industrial Andrews Avenue isn't the most scenic place for a bar, but this location had a few things going for it: proximity to downtown, lots of parking, and no meters. And it was the site of the legendary Brownie's, a Fort Lauderdale saloon that was open for about 75 years before making way for Tap 42. The good people on…

Best Neighborhood Bar, South Palm Beach
Biergarten Boca Raton
What makes this German-themed downtown Boca Raton eatery and bar such a standout is its perfect amalgamation of kitschy, cushy, and classy. Stylish on the inside with its ivy-laden walls, dark wood accents, and taxidermy lighting, Biergarten brings the hint of sophistication and ambiance that is de rigueur for a successful Boca Raton establishment. Yet this watering hole doesn't take…

Best Neighborhood Bar, North Broward
American Rock Bar and Grill
You would be hard-pressed to find a bar with such deep drink specials as the ones offered at American Rock Bar and Grill. It's true, no watering hole in the northern parts of Broward County is as generous in its liquor apportions as this Deerfield Beach establishment. With three-for-ones on well drinks and domestic drafts from 4 to 8 p.m.…

Best Neighborhood Bar, Central Broward
Tampa Bay Brewing Co. Tap House
It's not often these days that a city dweller east of I-95 has any reason to go west of... I-95, unless said dweller is commuting to work or school or needs to evacuate for a storm. Not that there's anything wrong with life on the west side, but once settled in along the 1 and A1A, you don't have to…

Ye Olde Falcon Pub
Few things on this Earth make us happier than walking into a darkened bar, glancing past mobs of humanity midrevelry, and settling our gaze upon dozens of craft and micro and local brews. Which is exactly what happens at Ye Olde Falcon Pub in Davie. Which one should we try first? There's the Stone IPA or the Pumpkin Ale or…

Best Bowling Alley
Diamond Strike Lanes
The sign hoisted aloft in the parking lot says it all simply enough: "Bowl." And Diamond Strike in Pompano Beach manages to box the whole spectrum of ten-pin pleasantries into one location. That's quite a feat these days, considering most alleys are going for specialization — either polishing up for the chic crowd or dumpster-diving for decrepitude. Diamond Strike has…

Sometimes you just want to go where everybody knows your name. And sometimes you'd just prefer those people are barely clothed. That's why you go to Greenbrier Bar & Restaurant. Located in the business park district off of Cypress Creek Road, the dimly lit, smoke-filled bar is host to friendly, scantily clad bartenders of all ages, serving classic pub grub…

Tropic Cay Resort Beach Bar
We know what you're thinking — the Tropic Cay Resort bar doesn't have the flash and bang of some of the other, high-trafficked spots elbowing up against the shoreline. We feel you. It's not an all-in, spring-break, shitface factory like Blondies. It's not an Ocean Drive-wannabe like the patio at the W. But zero notoriety is exactly what the Tropic…

There are pool halls for day trippers just looking for the one-off evening of billiards, and then there are joints for real hustlers. Everything about the Professionals screams no bullshit. First off, location: stuck in the corner of a shopping center off Stirling Road filled up with shady gun shops and camera stores. Next up, décor: nine pool tables laid…

Seminole Hard Rock
Walking through the doors of the Seminole Hard Rock is like stepping inside a little piece of Las Vegas that's been shipped over to South Florida. The big-roller vibe is ever-present. Classic rock blasts from the speakers, undercut by the constant electronic chirping of slot machines and video poker. The Hard Rock's numbers alone are hard to beat: The 140,000-square-foot…

Sometimes, you just gotta shake off the shackles of your Range Rover-driving, Lacoste-wearing, martini-drinking bourgeois life and let your freak flag fly. It's times like these when you'll want to head behind the proverbial curtain at the Green Room's Black Fridays. There, you'll find everything from tutu'd dudes in platform dominatrix boots to ponytailed goths with horns and face tattoos.…

What's the best thing about a strip club? (*Checks watch.* How much time do we have in these best-of blurbs?) Is it all the titties? Yes, it is. But by definition, all strip clubs have that. So what makes Booby Trap different from most strip clubs writhing in the urban sprawl of South Florida? The intimacy. If you like the…

There's a time for lounging poolside, sipping a frozen beverage, and cozying up with the latest issue of Star magazine whilst taking in the wonderful combination of hot sun and cool breeze. There's also a time for raging poolside, which is what happens every weekend at Fort Lauderdale Beach's Exit 66. Misting cabanas with bottle service; young, bikini-clad hotties bouncing…

Flossie's Bar and Grill
If anyone knows about community, it's bikers. Not hipster fixed-gear cyclists but hard-ass, wind-blown, wanderlusting motorcyclists. Many communities find their center in bars, these places where you become part of something larger when you're there. Flossie's Bar and Grill is just that center for Broward County bikers. Sure, it's kind of a dive located in an apartment complex, but it's…

Beach Betty's
South Florida is definitely one of the gayest areas in the country. If that wasn't already apparent, we suggest you take a ride down Wilton Drive; enough said. However, as gay as this region may be, it caters to the men. Surprise, surprise — gender bias transcends even sexual orientation. Well, that's not the case at Beach Betty's: This place…

Best Place to Pick Up Foreigners
Waxy O'Connor's
South Florida is littered with foreigners. We're certainly not complaining about that: makes 'em ripe for the picking, especially at Waxy O'Connor's. In addition to the superfine and (mostly) expat bar staff, the majority of the customers at this Irish pub has at least a twinge of an accent. Fort Lauderdale is America's boating capital — where yachts, superyachts, and…

According to Wikipedia, the cougar, also known as the puma, mountain lion, panther, or catamount, is a large cat of the family Felidae native to the Americas.

Some women (and men) complain that it's hard to meet a good man these days. What if there were a magical place where the men all had jobs... and flew airplanes.

Best Play
A Raisin in the Sun
This was what excellence looked like in the 2012-13 theater season, an unmissable production that should have humbled any theater professionals lucky enough to see it. Lorraine Hansberry's multifaceted meditation on race, class, housing, family, and the American dream remains devastatingly accurate when performed as flawlessly as Dramaworks' cast of 12. Ethan Henry was fierce and desperate as Walter, the…

Who would want to direct an adaptation of Aphra Behn's The Rover in 2013? It's a question right up there with "Who would ever want to be president of the United States?"

There's something about watching someone crack up onstage that has made mental patients such attractive archetypes for actors and audiences alike.

If, understandably, you failed to make the drive up to Jupiter this past winter to see one of Maltz's few nonmusical productions of the season, you missed an elegant, pitch-perfect rendition of Doubt, John Patrick Shanley's prescient morality tale about a priest who did, or didn't, molest a child. The entire cast was impeccable, but Maureen Anderman, as the play's…

Rumors, a caustic farce from Neil Simon about a dinner party gone very, very awry, was Broward Stage Door's finest hour last season — a play directed like a choreographed musical, with humor and absurdity brimming from all contours of the stage. At the heart of its Carbonell Award-winning ensemble was Matthew Korinko, who knocked the play's most difficult role…

Exit the King, Eugene Ionesco's protracted absurdist exercise, is about a blustery monarch, played in Dramaworks' production by Colin McPhillamy, who refuses to accept that, after hundreds of years of rule, he is finally dying. But the only character onstage that exuded a genuine air of regality was Angie Radosh, who, with her upright posture and hardened countenance, appeared to…

If art is meant to reflect life and life is becoming more and more virtually real, then it was only a matter of time before someone had the bright idea of putting together an art exhibition exploring the 40-year-old ubiquitous medium of videogames.

There are only a few things that really matter in the almighty, mystifying Twitter-verse: being funny, being inappropriately personal, and being a trash-talking mensch. If you have all three of these elements — along with some shred of preexisting real-life fame — well, you're bound to shoot across the internet cosmos like a great, beautiful, blazing ball of fire. Donald…

Best Local Girl Gone Bad
Jennifer Capriati
Twitter is a funny thing. It gives us a glimpse — ugly and real as it may be sometimes — of famous people like Jennifer Capriati. She's been tennis royalty since she broke onto the scene at the tender age of 13 in 1990. She was fearless, talented, and powerful. In the first three years of her pro career, Capriati…

Best Drink of Water
Marco Rubio
It was the sip heard around the world. On February 12, 2013, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio became parched during the Republican response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address. His mouth was so dry, in fact, that people in Manitoba, the Guizhou province, and even the Cook Islands reported hearing the slapping and smacking of Rubio's dehydrated tongue…

Best Festival
Tortuga Music Festival
The only question we have about Tortuga is... Why the hell did it take so long? Seriously — this is the first time a massive music festival has been hosted on the actual sands of Fort Lauderdale Beach, even though the idea is so obvious. It's like six-foot-eight LeBron James waiting until he's 30 years old to say, "I'm tall…

Best Political Rabble-Rouser
Stephanie McMillan
The world seems to get scarier and more desperate every day. Guns are marketed to toddlers, CEOs now make on average more than 350 times what the average worker earns, and the concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere topped the apocalyptic 400 parts per million this year. Yikes! Makes you want to gobble down a tub of vegan…

Best South Florida Export
Aaron Jackson
Florida, also known as Floriduh and Floriderp, doesn't exactly have a reputation for stand-up citizenry. We elect fraudsters like Rick Scott and find bizarre entertainment value in Filomena Tobias, the Palm Beach woman who became an internet sensation when she flipped off Chicago Bulls player Joakim Noah at a Heat game — but was accused by her internet psychic in…

Best Place to Skip School
Commercial Pier
Wellbutrin, Adderall, Zoloft... You name the prescription drug, teenagers are on it. And no wonder. Sitting inside ice-cold classrooms, stressing over the FCAT, and eating limp Tater Tots when the Fort Lauderdale sun is outside beckoning can be depressing as hell. Maybe we'd be less of a Prozac nation if we self-declared a mental health day once in a while.…

Best Place to Propose
Hugh Taylor Birch State Park
We should all go to Birch State Park much more often. It shows us what this chunk of Florida looked like before we messed it up with the drainage and concrete and sprawl. The park is green, brown, beautiful, overpoweringly fragrant, and a little too wet for comfortable human habitation. And in the park's lagoon, accessible via rented canoe ($5.30…

Best Scandal
Commissioner Sexting Her Cousin
The first rule of politics is: Do not take nude pictures of yourself while in an elected office and share them with your convict relatives whom you are sleeping with, then leave them lying around where someone could find them and blackmail you out of office.

Best Local Girl Gone Good
Cassadee Pope
Cassadee Pope's first solo release was a slowed-down, dramatic cover of a song made famous by Natalie Imbruglia.

Scott Prouty of Boca Raton
South Florida's Scott Prouty became a major influence in the 2012 presidential elections while on the clock bartending during a Republican Party fundraiser last year in Boca Raton.

Admirably, Prouty did not seek profit from revealing…

Looking forward to talking with you. Thanks, Sue

i. I mistook a shy boy for a thunderous one in the days when I lived inside his lungs.
ii. I wanted your hands in the early morning, or in 8 o' clock light. (Does it matter? I just wanted you.) Hands like paper cranes, hands like wind chimes. Then we could've been like lovers in a parody: "I love you, I love youno, I don't. But you are beautiful." And while I was not your lover, neither was I your queen. Either way, you wouldn't hold my heart.
iii. Our fingers would've taken flight and then the rest of us, too. Then you would've known of the ballroom in my chest, the migrations inside my body, of the tiny secret nothings that make their way like monarchsas if by instinct, as if they have been here beforefrom ballroom to piano hands to the museum that is my mind to my stomach. But you are the only lost boy afraid to fly.
iv. I was a foreign land and you would not dare travel without a map. But I do not possess a souvenir shop in which to purchase one. I am a destination and not a stop along the road, and if you come to me, you stay, and that is why you never had to leave.
v. I took strange for wondrous and unknowable for mysterious. I thought that shyness was sweet and strength was beauty.
vi. I am the only one who will have my heart.

Wisconsin PSC Approves Wind Project, Doubles the State's Wind Power
On January 25, the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) approved construction of the Blue Sky Green Field Wind Project, doubling the amount of wind energy approved for operation in the state. The ruling is part of an effort to produce 10 percent of all electricity sold in the state from renewable energy sources by 2015.
The wind farm will be located on 10,600-acre site in the towns of Calumet and Marshfield in Fond du Lac County. We Energies, developer of the project, says it will generate up to 203 megawatts (MW) of electricity. Each of the 88 wind turbines will have between 1.5 and 2.3 MW of capacity. The project's total capacity could power about 45,000 residential homes. It will be connected to the state's transmission system through the new Cypress Substation in Marshfield.
Last year Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle signed Act 141 into law, which calls for 10 percent of all electricity sales in Wisconsin to be from renewable energy by 2015. Currently, about 4 percent comes from renewables. The law was based on the recommendations of the Governor's Task Force on Energy Efficiency and Renewables. The new law also calls on state government agencies to improve energy efficiency and increase use of renewable energy.
We Energies is the trade name of Wisconsin Electric Power Company and Wisconsin Gas LLC, the principal utility subsidiaries of Wisconsin Energy Corporation.
For more information, see the January 25 PSC press release (PDF 23 KB) and We Energies' online description of the Blue Sky Green Field Wind Project.

Guards accused of allowing unsupervised conjugal visits at notorious Louisiana prison.
Ten inmates along and six correction fficers at Louisiana's notorious Angola Prison could are under the investigation.
The West Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Department is looking into reports that inmates at Angola had sex with their wives during an event at the prison while the correction officers looked the other way.
Sheriff J. Austin Daniel says he first got word of the incidents three weeks ago.
Almost 100 people have been questioned and given lie detector tests.
Daniel says even though only six correction officers could be involved, it's still a cause for concern.
The District Attorney is expected to get the case in a few weeks.

We describe a computational method that infers tumor purity and malignant cell ploidy directly from analysis of somatic DNA alterations. The method, named ABSOLUTE, can detect subclonal heterogeneity and somatic homozygosity, and it can calculate statistical sensitivity for detection of specific aberrations. We used ABSOLUTE to analyze exome sequencing data from 214 ovarian carcinoma tumor-normal pairs. This analysis identified both pervasive subclonal somatic point-mutations and a small subset of predominantly clonal and homozygous mutations, which were overrepresented in the tumor suppressor genes TP53 and NF1 and in a candidate tumor suppressor gene CDK12. We also used ABSOLUTE to infer absolute allelic copy-number profiles from 3,155 diverse cancer specimens, revealing that genome-doubling events are common in human cancer, likely occur in cells that are already aneuploid, and influence pathways of tumor progression (for example, with recessive inactivation of NF1 being less common after genome doubling). ABSOLUTE will facilitate the design of clinical sequencing studies and studies of cancer genome evolution and intra-tumor heterogeneity.

Ferraris Felipe Massa continued his upward trend at Spa-Francorchamps on Friday morning as he set the fastest time in first practice for the Belgian Grand Prix.
The Brazilian lapped his Ferrari F2008 in 1m 47.284s to head team mate Kimi Raikkonen, who was 0.339s adrift on 1m 47.623s. Main rivals Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen were also below the 1m 48s barrier with 1m 47.878s and 1m 47.932s respectively in their McLaren MP4-23s.
In cool but dry conditions, they completed 26, 26, 27 and 24 laps respectively.
Fernando Alonso was their closest challenger for Renault, with 1m 48.104s, which left him ahead of Red Bulls Mark Webber (1m 48.428s), Toro Rossos Sebastien Bourdais (1m 48.557s), his team mate Sebastian Vettel (1m 48.958s) and Toyotas Timo Glock (1m 48.997s).
In 10th place, Renaults Nelson Piquet was almost a second slower than his team mate with 1m 49.068s, then came the BMW Saubers of Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld (1m 49.139s and 1m 49.185s) before a gap to Nico Rosberg who took his Williams round in 1m 49.611s. The German was shadowed by Toyotas Jarno Trulli (1m 49.625s), Red Bulls David Coulthard (1m 49.849s) and Force Indias Giancarlo Fisichella (1m 49.986s).
At the back, Adrian Sutil in the second Force India (1m 50.117s) led Williams Kazuki Nakajima (1m 50.125s) and the Hondas of Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello (1m 50.464s and 1m 50.905s). Button had a lap of 1m 50.109s disallowed after he missed part of the Bus Stop chicane.
Others to miss an apex there were Vettel, Piquet and Sutil, while Heidfeld, Fisichella and Rosberg all ran wide at La Source and Alonso did likewise at Rivage.

Four year Lovebox licence rejected by Tower Hamlets Council
The application for a four year licence for Lovebox was rejected by Tower Hamlets Council yesterday.
At the meeting councillors heard that crime shot up in the ward containing Victoria Park - where the festival is held each year - in the month the festival was on.
UKCrimeStats figures showed that in Bow West ward in 2012 overall crime in the month Lovebox took place (June) was 64% higher than the months either side and in 2013 in the month Lovebox took place (July) overall crime was 44% higher than in June and 60% higher than in August.
Bow West councillor Joshua Peck spoke against the application at the meeting and told council officers that residents had raised numerous concerns with him regarding anti-social behaviour and noise.
He said: "A four-year licence is inappropriate as it removes the ability of residents to make representations each year. The organisers seem to be blind to the issues that they cause in the area each year."
The applicant argued that last year had been their most successful yet and they weren't aware of many complaints.
Legal advisor Simon Taylor said his team had received crime figures form the Metropolitan Police that were directly attributed to the festival and these figures were considerably lower than the ones Cllr Peck had presented.
He said: "It's our intention to give residents a far bigger say than before. We want to stop finding out about these concerns at this time of the year at licensing meetings when we haven't been informed of them before.
"Having a four year licence gives more confidence to investors - for example buying new sound equipment - if we know we're coming back again next year it's very helpful."
The committee rejected the application on the grounds of crime and disorder and public nuisance.
Licensing committee vice chair Peter Golds said: "We were concerned by the problems suffered by the residents and we don't think there are any conditions that could be added to the licence to make it better."
Following the meeting, Lovebox's team said they will appeal the decision.
A spokesman from Lovebox said: "We are extremely disappointed that in spite of there being no objections from any members of the public, or any of the responsible authorities, throughout the statutory consultation period, that a single objection from Cllr Peck, which we believe to be both inaccurate and misleading, has resulted in the Licensing Committee refusing our initial application.
"Following eight months of planning and consultation, our application has the full support of the Safety Advisory Group and Statutory Authorities, Officers of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets who specialise in licensing and events and the Metropolitan Police, all of whom we work very closely with to minimise any inconvenience to local residents.
"Having been through this same process in previous years, we will of course be appealing this decision and look forward to having the opportunity to present the wealth of supporting evidence and facts to the court in a manner which, we believe, we were not afforded by the Licensing Committee."

"The former Pennsylvania senator states that, "as a parent, I am concerned about the widespread distribution of illegal obscene pornography and its profound effects on our culture."Santorum criticized the Obama administration for turning "a blind eye ... to the scourge of pornography" and for refusing to enforce obscenity laws. "If elected President, I will appoint an Attorney General who will do so," Santorum writes. "While the Obama Department of Justice seems to favor pornographers over children and families, that will change under a Santorum Administration."
Santorum is not the first presidential candidate to take up the obscenity issue. In July, Michele Bachmann signed a pledge vowing her support of a constitutional amendment that, among other things, called for a ban on all pornography. (It also effectively called for a ban on same-sex marriage.)The Atlantic wonders if Santorum's wide-scale crackdown on porn could actually work.
The Daily Caller found someone who thinks it could. "If the government wanted to aggressively move against Internet pornography, it could do so," UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh told the site. Wonkette's Rebecca Schoenkopf pointed out it's just another example of Santorum positioning himself as the extremely conservative choice for president. "It seems that Rick Santorum has found time in his busy schedule of condemning 'radical' women for working outside the home and using birth control, and nagging English-speaking Puerto Ricans to speak English, and now is turning his hot, penetrating gaze to manfolk-bizness," she wrote.

Rudd redefines debate, dares Abbott to oppose
PUBLISHED: 19 Jul 2013 20:40:12 | UPDATED: 20 Jul 2013 03:44:58PUBLISHED: 20 Jul 2013 PRINT EDITION: 20 Jul 2013The government has clearly made the decision braced for outrage from the left. Photo: Glenn Hunt
Laura Tingle
Seeking to cauterise a political problem that has repeatedly crippled Labor, Kevin Rudd has moved to outflank Tony Abbott on the right and redefine the terms of the asylum-seeker debate.
In doing so, he is making a positive of his often lampooned foreign policy connections, and addressing the Coalition's attack that the Prime Minister is "all talk and no action".
The deep divisions on the asylum-seeker issue mean the success of his policy prescription could determine the outcome of the election campaign.
Rudd's move also lays down the most serious challenge yet to the Coalition's oppositionist tactics – daring Abbott to oppose the policy and not take a bipartisan position on the issue.
Legal questions raised
But his policy prescription – which involves anyone who comes to Australia by boat seeking asylum being sent to Papua New Guinea for processing and eventual resettlement – must raise legal questions about how it fits with Australia's obligations under the United Nations refugee convention.
The government argues it does, given its obligations are only to not send those found to be genuine refugees back to their country of origin, provide proper humane treatment and a country of resettlement.
Its capacity to act will be further enhanced by moves to stop the flow of Iranians through Indonesia.
Iran, until now, has refused to take people back who have sought asylum unless they choose to return.
The government is warning that those found not to be refugees will be sent home, or to a third country.
The government has clearly made the decision braced for outrage from the left, including within its own party.
Distance from the Greens
Pragmatically, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Rudd, who has been openly seeking to distance Labor as much as possible from the Greens – who on Friday described the deal as "repugnant".
The politics of asylum seekers has changed dramatically since the Tampa election in 2001.
It has been redefined as being about the people smugglers and their trade, not the asylum seekers, a shift that has allowed both sides of politics to take a much tougher line.
The early responses of the Coalition show how the issue is likely to be played out.
Rudd may indeed have outflanked the Coalition on policy as Abbott left open the possibility that the Coalition might embrace the policy.
The Opposition Leader chose instead to attack the competency of Labor to deliver it.
Implementation biggest problem
And this could well be where the government's biggest problem lies between now and polling day.
Facilities at Manus Island are currently nowhere near ready to accept the sorts of numbers of people who might arrive in the next few weeks if people smugglers try – as Rudd says they might – to test the government's resolve.
That means they will have to be accommodated temporarily on Christmas Island, or in Australia.
The spectre of even more boats arriving could undermine a sense of confidence in the policy and give the opposition a line of attack on a policy which in any normal circumstance it could only endorse.

BNG is the specialist in financing public facilities. The bank contributes to quality of life in the Netherlands by playing an active role in developing reliable facilities for society. Furthermore, at BNG the public interest takes pride of place. The organisation does not focus on maximising profits but on benefits to society. This is what sets it apart from commercial banks. BNG enjoys Triple-A status and was recently voted the third most secure bank in the world.
Markets are becoming more competitive, customers more professional and yield requirements more prominent. BNG wants to occupy a strong position in this network of power relationships. It wishes to be regarded as a modern, professional, reliable partner that is visible to its stakeholders and that takes an integral approach to its customers' financial needs based on a thorough, up-to-date knowledge of the public domain. In the context of disquiet in the financial markets, it is obvious that the solidity of the organisation will be highly rated and made explicit. After all, at the present time, solidity is the most important quality in the field of financial services.
BNG expresses its ambitions in both its symbolism and its communication programmes. These ambitions are to be the financial services provider that focuses on the public interest and creating benefits for society. It does this by being a reliable partner for its stakeholders. A partner that is able to bring high-quality expertise to bear on satisfying the financial preconditions needed for realising projects that add value in the public domain. This may involve housing, healthcare, education, culture, regional development or other aspects that have a positive effect on the quality of life of Dutch citizens.
The key concept behind all the creative work is a brand personality characterised as 'new grey'. A financial services provider that is aware that its solidity and reliability are not boring ('old grey') but, in fact, its best points. And certainly so following the demise of many colourful, commercial alternatives. New grey is solid and makes it possible to provide BNG's story with the extremely colourful accents that it deserves. No pay-off is needed in this vision. That fact is that BNG's story is its own promise.
Design and communication
The concept has been brought to life by shortening the name from Bank Nederlandse Gemeenten to BNG in an open, unifying typographic logo that emphasises the ability of BNG to cooperate with its environment. The open, solid capitals refer to the reliability of the organisation while the logo's colours refer to both reliability and a feeling of responsibility. The basic 'new grey' colour is enriched with a spectacular secondary colour palette that accentuates BNG's added value in the public domain. The communication is no more or less than BNG's story – the story of the partner of a variety of different parties in the public domain that together implement projects that have a positive influence on the lives of every Dutch citizen.
The corporate design has been implemented. BNG's story will be communicated internally to create support for the new positioning. The first external communication has appeared in the form of the 2008 Annual Report. The communication programmes will be further rolled out in the course of 2009.

Lewis Layton enjoying himself sledging on the sand dunes at Caister. Picture: James Bass
Friday, January 18, 2013
As the first snow of the year has settled on Great Yarmouth our photographer James Bass has been out and about capturing the winter scenes.
The Highland cows at Halvergate seemed right at home in the frost and ice, while fluffy sheep were almost lost among the white winter scene.
Youngsters have also been enjoying the first flakes of winter by digging out their sledges and zipping down the dunes at Caister.

Nice photos from James. Minor point though, can't Archants web designers make the picture gallery display better? I have to scroll up everytime and some pictures show bigger than the screen. I want to just be able to scroll through, one click!

Dr. Stephen Magura—Director, The Evaluation Center, WMU
The national Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign was conducted during 1998-2004 and evaluated through a national, four-wave panel study of adolescents. The evaluation's results were unexpected and controversial, finding both no effects overall and a possibly harmful effect, namely inducing initiation of marijuana use. A meta-evaluation by the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) supported the original evaluation's major conclusions, but the Campaign's sponsor, the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), contested both the original evaluation's findings and the GAO's assessment of them. This study presents an alternative meta-evaluation of the original evaluation, concluding that the Campaign probably was ineffective, but without sufficient evidence of harmful effects.

Deep ruby. High-pitched aromas of dark berries, Asian spices and potpourri, with a hint of cracked pepper. Sweet, incisive black raspberry and spice cake flavors become more peppery with air and show intense minerality, with no rough edges. The sweet, focused finish repeats the spicy notes and lingers with real authority. This elegant wine will age on its balance. Gonon ferments his syrah entirely with whole clusters. (1/ 2011)

Unfortunately, if a company goes out of business and there is no longer a health plan, COBRA coverage is not available to former employees. COBRA also becomes unavailable if an employer stays in business but stops offering health insurance.
Let Insurance.com help you find affordable health insurance now.
COBRA stands for the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, a landmark federal law written to provide workers a safety net for when they resign from jobs or are terminated and lose their group health insurance coverage. The law applies to employers with at least 20 employees, but many states have adopted "mini COBRA" laws, which apply to employers with fewer than 20 workers.
Under the federal COBRA law, a worker can continue to receive health insurance coverage through a former employer's group health plan for up to 18 months after leaving a job. Spouses and dependent children can also receive coverage, in some cases as long as three years. To receive benefits from COBRA, the former employee must pay the full cost of the premium; the employer no longer contributes.
If your employer goes out of business, consider other health insurance options, such as coverage through a spouse's employer-based group health plan or through another employer when you find a new job. You can also apply for individual health insurance. Get insurance quotes, and compare plans to find one that provides the benefits and health care provider network you need.
Establishing health insurance coverage protects you both now and later, when you find a new job and are eligible for another group health plan. Under the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, a new employer-based group health plan cannot exclude coverage for pre-existing conditions as long as you have maintained health insurance for the last year, with no gaps of 63 days or more.
For more, see "7 health insurance options when COBRA runs out."
