A new controversy is brewing over the proposed development of the old school on coach road. Our current understanding is that 100 houses are being planned for the site. A public meeting has been called:
Wednesday 25th February in the Community Hall (back of Victoria Terr.) at 6.30 pm
You may have heard by now that following a public inquiry in Durham the Inspector's interim report has rejected the plan to build in the green belt.
All the arguments there (on both sides) were essentially the same as those presented in the Newcastle/Gateshead One Core Strategy Public inquiry. We are of course pleased for Durham but outraged that we have not received the same outcome. Pat expressed our view in a letter to the Journal:
Things have been quiet recently as we await the Inspectors final report, due in March.
Back at the end of last year, S.T.O.P. did respond to the modifications indicated in the iterim report, but since the amendments were of no significance, we assume that our responses will be regarded likewise. There is one recent development though:
Up-to-date National figures about the size of households, and hence housing needs, are due to be produced shortly. We have reason to believe that they will indicate a reduced need for housing. So in an attempt to delay the production of the final report, we have along with other groups, written to our MP, Catherine McKinnell asking her to intervene in the matter by using Parliamentary means to hold up the report until the figures are revealed. Click HERE to read our letter.
Our colleagues in Ryton have already had a positive response from Dave Anderson their MP. He has made an approach in Parliament and the officials have given him the following reply:
Your Parliamentary Question(s) have been received.
You have sent 2 question(s) to the Table Office. This e-mail is to notify you that your Parliamentary Question(s) were received at 26 Jan 2015 07:11 PM and are being processed by the Table Office.
Ordinary Written question to: Communities and Local Government for answer on 29 Jan 2015 12:00 AM
Will the SoS delay the proposals to build on Green belt in the Blaydon constituency until after his department publishes and fully considers the results of its own delayed report on Household Projections 2012 to 2037.
Ordinary Written question to: Communities and Local Government for answer on 29 Jan 2015 12:00 AM
Will the SoS confirm that population projections that have been made in developing the Newcastle/Gateshead One Core Housing Strategy may well have been over estimated and will he delay any further work on this Strategy until such time as accurate figures are available and will he make a statement.
We are hoping for a similar response from our MP. We will keep you informed.
As you are probably aware by now, the Inspector who chaired the Public Inquiry has produced his preliminary report, and it has given the "green light" to almost all the proposed developments in Newcastle and Gateshead.
This is of course a severe disappointment to all of us who have campaigned over the last 3 years to save our Green Belt.
The Inspector did produce a list of amendments for the overall scheme and particular sites (the amendments for the two Throckley sites are copied below).
There is a period of Consultation on the amendments, open now, and closing on the 4th of January (responses must be on official forms-there are no consultation meetings).
The Umbrella organisation for all protest groups "Cities4People" met yesterday and agreed to respond to the consultation in another attempt he highlight the flaws in the proposals, although there was an acute sense of realism about the chances of success.
We expect the full report in the Spring and following adoption by the Council, applications for planning permission from developers.
This was always a "David and Goliath" scenario, but everyone involved feels we put maximum efforts into what is an unequal battle.
We will of course keep you fully informed about any future developments.
The Public Inquiry was reconvened at Gateshead Civic Centre on the 15th October. The main purpose was to allow the Inspector to confirm that the dispute between developers in relation to the Great Park had been resolved.
Both Councils and developers had agreed a position, which they presented to the Inquiry. The motivation for them was that the Inspector had indicated their dispute may prejudice the overall One Core Strategy.
From the protesters' side including ourselves and the other groups, questioning revealed several ambiguities, including how firmly funding was in place to construct vital road links. It remains for the Inspector to consider how satisfied he is with the Council/developers joint position.
A recent planning advice from Government minister Eric Pickles seemed to suggest a more robust approach to restricting building on the green belt. The barrister representing the two Councils was strongly of the opinion that nothing substantial had changed.
The usual weasel words in the advice might suggest a change of tack, but it is up to the Inspector, and he may well be restricted to take account of the actual wording of Planning guidance.
Finally the Inspector indicated that he will most likely have his interim report ready by early November. If as is likely this contains modifications to the Councils' Plan, there will be a further consultation period, which will be relatively short and will involve written submissions only..
We will aim to hold a meeting in November after the Inspector's report is circulated and we all have had time to digest it.
The first two weeks looked at the bases and implications of the plan at a strategic level. Arguments concerned population statistics, economic forecasts, and traffic analyses, amongst other matters.
A comprehensive attack on the population estimates was made by 2 specialists from Cities 4 People. The Council's expert explained their choice of base years which even to a non expert, seemed to have been selected to give the most promising outcome for the councils, i.e. a higher population projection.
The well argued case put forward by protestors is possibly our strongest hope for a reduction in scale of the proposed 30,000 additional houses. This will be one of the key points to look out for in the Inspector's judgement.
Over economic issues, doubts were expressed by protestors about the likely prosperity in the coming years, affecting people's ability to buy. That same week had seen the Governor of the Bank of England warn of interest rate rises, and many indicators suggest prosperity is not round the corner – the unemployment rate for our area has remained around 10% for several years. The council has ambitious targets for jobs growth but is competing with many other regions for inward investment.
The economic base for the One Core Strategy is optimistic, and when challenged, the Planners fall back on the assertion that "they can hardly plan for decline in a regional hub city like Newcastle/Gateshead" – difficult to disagree with, but as with the population forecasts, the Inspector will weigh up the quality of evidence.
A considerable amount of time was spent on traffic problems and how additional houses may affect these. A Highways Agency representative was present and the Councils' own traffic planners. Despite strong arguments about existing and likely future congestion, their computer modelling seems always to suggest no significant problem. All developments now have to look to encourage pedestrian and cycle use, and Planners sought to suggest improvements in these travel routes would hopefully mean more journeys by these means, but the Inspector only has to drive round our hilly area with few dedicated cycle routes to see that 30,000 additional houses will create massive extra car journeys.
4th July 2014
The final day and the Inspector saw a re-run of the argument between Persimmon and Banks, with an inconclusive ending. They, like everyone else, live to fight another day.
Had battle fatigue set in? On paper the day should have been an innocuous tying up of loose ends, amendments and minor modifications to the OCS plan. As Council planners, developers and protestors gathered for the last day of a month long marathon, it was a shock when after around half an hour the Inspector was deliberating over suspending or adjourning the whole Inquiry to some future date.
This was the ongoing feud between Persimmon and Banks group, represented by Peter Jordan from Persimmon, and the Banks group's Justin Hancock. Who would contribute to a road link the Inspector felt was needed to make Banks' Western expansion site viable? And had implications for other areas? If the size of either site on its own did not justify a secondary school, what would happen to young people of that age?
A rehearsal of the day before's positions did nothing to move to a solution, and at the point where the Inspector felt an adjournment was likely, the warring parties left the room to investigate if there was any common ground.
A significant debate then took place over the timing of the development proposals which may see housing start simultaneously across all earmarked sites across the Tyneside area.
3rd July 21014
This week saw the Newcastle sites under close discussion, with a range of controversial issues coming to the fore.
The three Callerton sites were on the agenda on Tuesday and this was comprehensively covered by the Journal the following day, including the fiasco over proposed access roads – sometimes called link roads, and even a bypass, characterised in the excellent Journal article as "the road to nowhere"!
Many protestors were present when Persimmon tried to bring the Salters Lane site back into the frame. Peter Jordan for Persimmon claimed that they have modified plans to accommodate wildlife and ecological issues.
Objectors reiterated concerns which had originally taken the site out of the O.C.S.
Sandy Irvine of the Green Party commented that "The Gosforth reserve is essential to the well being of Newcastle citizens".
John Urquhart described it as "the Green lung of the City".
1st July Throckley site specific session.
This was an exceptional day in many respects; the Inquiry room at 10am was already packed, people were standing, and around half an hour in, a young man at the back of the room was taken ill. Everyone cleared the room until paramedics came and eventually he was taken to hospital (later in the day it was reported no serious problem). The delay was around 1 hour.
This meant that the Callerton 3 site session, always going to be lengthy, was delayed and in fact discussion on aspects of these sites did not conclude until 4pm.
Newbiggin Hall came on the agenda before Throckley and though not represented by local people speaking, their Ward Councillor did a good job in presenting their concerns.
The Throckley session did not start until around 4.30pm and finished at 7pm.
Several Throckley residents had come after lunch to attend, as we anticipated this would be appropriate timing, but events interrupted that.
The Greenwich side were represented by at least 6 people including a barrister.
Once our turn came, Idwal began by outlining the various issues to be addressed, including traffic, community, recreation and flood risks. A key point we wanted to be covered was the issue of site access.
Can you help?
On Tuesday 1st July at the Public Inquiry, the S.T.O.P. Campaign is making it's presentation to preserve the Green Belt. We will be opposed by the Council and Greenwich Hospital Trust.
A good turnout of supporters will add a lot of weight to our case.
Also, if you have anything to say about the housing proposals, this is the time to say it! The inspector to date has listened to all contributions.
We estimate that The Throckley proposals will not be reached until the afternoon session starting at 2.00pm in The Lamesley Room, Gateshead Civic Centre.
Please come and show that you care about our Greenbelt.
We hope to see you there.
Gateshead Sites – in depth examination – Tuesday 24th to Thursday 26th.
The sessions looked at a range of sites in Gateshead where housing development is proposed, including areas currently in the Green Belt.
The overall scale of the proposals became more apparent as the week went on and discussion of 500 additional houses at Crawcrook was followed by 100 or so in Highfield and 500 in Ryton. All in the Western semi-rural edge of Gateshead. In Chopwell, the scale of additional housing proposed would increase the size of the village by 50%.
Dunston Hill
One of the main issues in the discussion on Dunston Hill site was transport and the effects of massive additional traffic using the existing road infrastructure. Andy Blanchflower from the Save Dunston Hill campaign pointed out "the Park and Ride scheme identified is in an area totally surrounded by housing, unlike other examples such as Durham. Buses from this hub would hardly see an express route into central Gateshead and Newcastle without dedicated bus lanes, which are not envisaged."
Transport difficulties in the area were again highlighted as Chopwell residents including Janet Byrne described the lengthy journeys they face if using public transport. Because of this, residents of proposed housing developments would inevitably use cars and this would add enormously to the pressure on roads. Chopwell residents pointed out that a brownfield site called Heartland had been waiting for development for many years, and the community preference would be to see that developed before any Greenfield sites.
Blaydon Roundabout
Congestion at major junctions was highlighted when the Ryton proposals were discussed. Comments were made from protestors including Dr. Roger Snodin about the existing congestion at Blaydon roundabout.
He observed "a common sense view would predict that this congestion must get worse if more than a thousand homes are built in the Gateshead villages to the West. And that figure does not include other proposals in Northumberland such as 400 houses on the Prudhoe Hospital site. Most journeys to work will be on the current West/East road network"
A council transport planner asserted that the forecasting model used to predict how traffic would react showed that queueing at the roundabout, following proposed developments would not be significantly worse!
The STOP campaign has received another approach from the Greenwich Hospital trust repeating its offer of a meeting. This time it was by letter from the Head of Property. She suggested that there had been changes in personnel at the Trust and that she had been in post only since May 2013.
The letter was accompanied by an email version sent by their agent at Smiths Gore, the very same agent who withheld key information when we did meet with him in March 2012.
The offer was again rejected for the same reasons as previously.
It has been suggested that this sudden interest in the community, is perhaps the result of a loss in confidence of their own position. We shall see.
At the Public Inquiry on Friday, the STOP campaign was approached by a consultant, acting on behalf of Greenwich Hospital Trust. He made an offer of a meeting with a senior executive of the Trust.
He suggested they wanted to open a dialogue with local residents on community involvement in development planning after the inclusion of the site(s) in the plan.
This offer was firmly rejected for the following reasons:
- In the past Greenwich representatives have not acted in good faith.
- They have failed over the last 3 years to communicate with us.
- Recent revelations re Hexham Rd give us no confidence in their openness.
- We do not accept the premise that the proposals will be in the plan.
- We are fully committed to our campaign to get these plans rejected.
The consultant was advised to contact us again after the inspector's report has been published.
10th, 11th and 12th June 2014
We are nearing the end of the second week of the Public Inquiry into the One Core Strategy into Newcastle/Gateshead's proposals for 30,000 new houses, many on the Green Belt. The importance of this Inquiry not only relates to the scale of changes which these areas might see, but it is the first Inquiry of this nature in the North East and will set the scene for the examination of schemes in Durham, Northumberland and other adjacent authorities.
How will transport, particularly road networks stack up against the challenge?
At the hearing, a Highways Agency representative presented the planned improvements to the A1 Western Bypass and was questioned closely by speakers from Cities for People including Andy Blanchflower and Shirley Ford from the Tyne and Wear Transport Users Group.
Some money has been earmarked already for the A1 but protestors observed that other locations in the country were also congestion hotspots, and future funding is not guaranteed. Harvey Emms from Newcastle Council agreed that a better scheme was a major redesign costing an unaffordable £1.7 billion, and that what is now being proposed is what can be delivered.
The improvements consist of trying to improve traffic flows through congestion hotspots such as past the Metrocentre. But will these be sufficient to cope with increased pressure on the A1 as a result of traffic from the 2/3 car households proposed for developments, mainly to the west of both Newcastle and Gateshead, and journeys by car using the A1 to access both the City Centre and the East where the jobs are?
Jim Cousins, former MP for Newcastle observed "The piecemeal 3 lanes on certain sections and reduced speed limits will hardly meet the challenge for current, let alone future flows!"
The proposed link road between the A69 and the A696 (Throckley roundabout to the Airport) was challenged on several fronts:
- Its introduction into the public debate was severely flawed.
- The road itself involves more green belt deletions adding to the 9.7% of Green Belt already under threat because of the 30,000 houses proposed in the plan.
Shirley Ford felt that insufficient work had been done on the health dangers of road schemes where there were already air pollution issues: "The plan is unsound, possibly even negligent. A positive plan would include work to assess air quality issues" she suggested to the Inspector.
Ron Bright from Ryton and Andy Blanchflower pointed out that similar issues related to Gateshead i.e. the A695, A692 and A694 are all already struggling to cope with existing traffic.
Praiseworthy aims by the Councils to introduce measures to increase journeys by foot, public transport and bicycle can't avoid the reality that travel to work on Tyneside is, in the main, by car.
Some humour was introduced into the session when several planners and developers talked about their own journeys into work by bicycle. Pat McGee from Cities for People pointed out that unlike Holland we are not a flat cycle friendly area, and that the Inspector could note for himself as he undertakes site visits, how many women or somewhat older people could be seen negotiating our busy roads and inadequate cycle network to get to work! Richard Cowen from CPRE pointed out that painting a white line down the side of a road is never going to encourage a massive shift to cycling.
Yesterday evening's meeting at the Throckley Bank Top club was extremely well attended by concerned local residents.
It was immediately apparent that some people only became aware of the proposals recently, therefore Idwal began by outlining how the campaign started back in October 2011 and what has happened since. He explained that we are now beyond protests, petitions, etc. and into a Public Inquiry. This is taking place during June and July in Gateshead Civic Centre and has so far focused on the broader aspect of all proposed developments across Newcastle and Gateshead.
A session specific to the Throckley sites is provisionally scheduled for July 1st and there are three possible outcomes:
1) The Inspector accepts the Greenwich Hospital submission and we move to the planning phase. Newcastle City Council will then have to decide whether or not to grant permission on their own development.
2) The Inspector is not satisfied by one or more aspects of the submission and the plan will have to be re-worked. At present, there is a possibility that he may not be happy with the preferred access to Site A. Greenwich Hospital will then have to come up with alternative solutions such as re-attempting to secure the brick works or finding another access point before re-submitting the plan.
3) The Inspector throws out the submission altogether and deems the site non-viable. In this case, it will STOP and go no further. It seems that this is the least likely outcome, unless we can come up with a cast iron valid reason why this cannot proceed, backed up with documented evidence, preferably from a professional.
Many people in the room were quick to come up with reasons as to why it should not go ahead, including the following:
- Increased traffic in the area
- Lack of infrastructure (shops, doctors, schools, etc.)
- Safety of horse riders, children, walkers, etc.
- Loss of wildlife habitat
- Flooding from the point where surface water is discharged
- Archaeological interest
- Geological issues
- And many more
Most of these reasons were put forward during the Consultation and subsequently ignored by Newcastle City Council. Greenwich Hospital have also engaged experts, including a Barrister, to answer these points so they are likely to satisfy the Inspector. A couple of other opinions were put forward yesterday evening to do with the ownership of the land and the bridleway that may be worth further investigation.
One thing Idwal made clear is that people turning up to the Inquiry on July 1st and voicing their opinions (in the same way as they did yesterday evening) is welcome and may carry some weight but it is highly unlikely to wash with the Inspector. To repeat point 3) above:
We need at least one cast iron valid reason why this cannot go ahead, backed up with documented evidence, preferably from a professional.
By professional, I'm referring to a Solicitor, Geologist, Archaeologist, Planning Consultant, Health & Safety expert, Environmentalist, etc.
If the point is valid, the Inspector will listen, take it on board and hopefully put a STOP to this now. Some of the issues previously raised could still be valid if looked at in detail and presented correctly.
So the question is, CAN ANYONE HELP? If you think you have a valid reason, can you dig a bit deeper and back it up? If you work in one of the professions above or you know someone who does, can you justify any of the arguments already made or find a new one? If you can do this, speaking at the Inquiry on our behalf and presenting your case would also be appreciated but Idwal could do this for you if necessary. Please drop us a line if you think you can help. An overview of your reason and how it can be proven would be useful:
You can also help by emailing all your contacts a link to this page or sharing the link posted on our FACEBOOK page.
If we fail at the Inquiry, we still have time to justify one or more reasons during the planning phase or if there is a re-submission by Greenwich Hospital. However, I'm sure there are many among us who would rather this STOPPED on July 1st but we need firm evidence from credible authors to make an impact.
5th and 6th June 2014
Campaigners were astonished to learn that the full loss of Green belt across the 2 boroughs will be 10%. John Urquhart (Save Gosforth Wildlife) commented that this was "a devastating loss."
The Inspector raised queries over certain sites in the Newcastle plan and whether they were deliverable to the timescale indicated. Mostly these were confirmed with supporting information from Planners.
When discussion turned to the former Water Treatment Works in Throckley, a sizeable site fronting the main road which is derelict. Although the Inspector felt the Council were correct in indicating this could not be developed in the early years of the Plan, Idwal John of STOP (Throckley) pointed out that: "Should adjacent Green field developments, that are more attractive to developers, go ahead at an early stage, there is likelihood that, this eyesore site may never be developed".
The research of Gateshead Protest Groups Representatives, Ron Bright from Ryton and Andy Blanchflower (Save Dunston Hill) had identified several Brownfield sites not selected for inclusion in the Plan. These potential sites would significantly reduce the need for Green sites and the Inspector confirmed that he will consider them, and include some in his site visits.
Former Birtley Councillor Kathy King made a telling point when she observed that: "the old railway marshalling yard at Birtley a brown field site, which was a few years ago much promoted as the location for the then anticipated Hitachi factory, is now according to the Council not suitable for development!"
4th June 2014
Shock! Protest Groups agree with Council Planners….
At least on one part of the plan.
The Inspector wanted clarification of the Council's idea about phasing the release of Green Belt sites especially in the first 5 years. This objective is to allow the opportunity to review the combination of green and brownfield sites to be delivered at future stages, thus ensuring that brownfield sites are used first.
The developers argued against this approach, and tried to defend their option of a complete "free for all" if the Plan goes forward.
Jill Burrell from Cities for People strongly emphasised the negatives of allowing all sites to come forward at the outset and quoted examples from Kingston Park and the Great Park about problems likely to ensue.
3rd June 2014
A packed meeting room in Gateshead Civic Centre saw the opening of the Public Inquiry into the Newcastle Gateshead One Core Strategy.
The Inspector, Martin Pike, led the discussion which essentially puts the Council Planning Officers and the developers' representatives, including 2 barristers on one side, with the Protest Groups on the other.
The morning session centred on whether the councils had consulted adequately with their own residents and whether they had come to necessary agreements with adjacent Local Authorities. The Council Planners struggled to make their case with many local residents from Chopwell, Callerton,Throckley and Ryton underlining the ineffective consultation which failed to inform most residents adequately. The result being that most residents got up to date and comprehensive information from their respective Protest Group.
The afternoon saw the Council planners defending their position that not enough suitable brownfield sites are available, with a not surprising echo of this theme from the developers' representatives.
We now have sight of the full Greenwich Hospital submission to the Planning Inspector, and it confirms all the aspects we have warned about.
The Document can be accessed by clicking HERE. This is a large file so you will need to be patient.
They introduce what they call a "Masterplan" which comprises:
Site A already in the One Core Strategy, available for 550 houses and Site B (in their ownership) to the west of Site A leading to the Frenchman's. Also 550 houses suggested here which they feel "illustrates how a logical and sustainable residential extension of Throckley could be arranged to integrate with the wider context, respond to local distinctiveness and character and be fully accessible whilst having an overall positive impact on the well being and long term sustainability of the settlement of Throckley".
Site A if planning permission granted could start around 2015. 60% family housing, some larger houses and 20-30% smaller houses. Any affordable housing would be negotiated between developer and Newcastle City Council.
They all but rule out access via the brickworks as the owners will not sell the required land. They also rule out the access off Hexham Road via Fernhill (in their ownership) because they would have to pay off the PFI contract on the school field.
Therefore their preferred access option is via demolishing 234 and 236 Hexham Road (in their ownership) and creating an access road behind the houses fronting Hexham Road to get into Site A. They suggest a loop bus route and of course this would conveniently allow access to Site B if they ever get this under way. They admit this access would be on the Green Belt.
The Document can be accessed by clicking HERE. This is a large file so you will need to be patient.
The public inquiry starts next Tuesday in Gateshead Council's Civic Centre at 10am. It will meet on the following dates:
3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th
10th, 11th, 12th, 13th
24th, 25th, 26th, 27th
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th
Pat and Idwal representing the STOP campaign are attending all sessions and have secured speaking rights on all the parts relevant to our area.
We welcome anyone wishing to join us for any of the morning or afternoon sessions. Please give us a call on 0191 264 2688.
Additionally we are part of the "umbrella group" of objectors "Cities 4 people" and will have an input via them.

Write a ReviewExcellent Quality
By Meghan C. from Mason, MI on Aug 16, 2013
This is a very well-made product. It is solid-feeling and does not jiggle like the inexpensive one I have in my other bathroom. I wish I had ordered the 24" instead of the 18" because my bath sheet (extra large bath towel) has to be folded or scrunched to fit on it.

Stuart O'Grady admits to doping at Tour de France
PUBLISHED: 25 Jul 2013 11:13:00 | UPDATED: 29 Jul 2013 00:46:14PRINT EDITION: 25 Jul 2013Stuart O'Grady: "You win Olympics, Paris-Roubaix and now all of that is going to be tainted by this action and I wish it could be changed but it can't." Photo: John Veage
Jason Murphy
One of Australia's most revered cycling heroes has admitted using the banned blood-doping product EPO during his celebrated career, and in doing so has attracted forgiveness as well as criticism.
Stuart O'Grady OAM, who raced the Tour de France a record-equalling 17 times before retiring this week, made the confessions on Wednesday.
O'Grady admitted to using the drug EPO before the 1998 Tour de France, during which he wore the leader's jersey for three days. EPO is designed to increase the volumes of red blood cells and so deliver more oxygen to muscles.
The drug was common in professional cycling in the late 1990s – O'Grady joins Lance Armstrong in admitting its use.
'I sourced it myself'
"Leading into the [1998] Tour I made a decision, I sourced it myself, there was no one else involved, it didn't involve the team in any way," O'Grady said.
His confession follows the release of a French government report that revealed O'Grady had a suspicious drug test at the 1998 Tour de France
O'Grady – who won Olympic gold in 2004 – insists he used EPO only in preparation for the 1998 Tour de France.
Afterwards "[I] got rid of it and that was the last I ever touched it", he said. But he conceded that the admission of drug use would place a permanent mark on his record.
'I wish it could be changed'
"You win Olympics, Paris-Roubaix and now all of that is going to be tainted by this action and I wish it could be changed but it can't."
O'Grady finished his career on a high, as the Orica GreenEdge team won the team time trial in the most recent Tour de France and had the yellow jersey for multiple days early in the race.
"We reached big goals as a team at the Tour, and I'm proud to finish my career after an amazing experience with an incredible team," he said after announcing his retirement. "I'm turning 40 very soon, and I've realised there are things in my life that I want to prioritise.
''My family has helped me make this decision. It's been 23 years of top level performing and 19 years of professional racing, so it's time to move on."
'Pathetic cheat'
The timing of his retirement is now linked to drug revelations. Orica GreenEdge general manager Shayne Bannan released a statement in support of his rider.
"Like the majority of the riders in his generation, he was also exposed to the issues and wrongdoings of the sport and made some wrong choices in that environment," he said in the statement on Wednesday.
There was division on social media. Plenty labelled O'Grady "a dirty sportsman" and "a pathetic cheat". But among the criticism were those who more inclined to forgive actions that O'Grady said took place 15 years ago.
A Twitter user going by the name of Deanna Napier wrote: "One bad choice does not make a bad man or a bad life. Yr still a champ to me."

Spotify and Yahoo! Team Up
The music-streaming Colossus continues its march towards ubiquity
Spotify is always looking for more listeners, and just a week or so after announcing a wide-ranging mobile streaming service, is now turning to original Internet search giant Yahoo to find them. Starting with Yahoo!'s music section, and later spreading across other parts of the site, you'll start to find the Spotify Play button, which is a built-in music player app that can stream Spotify songs from any web page (a free Spotify membership and initial app download is still required).
The partnership between the Spotify and the decidedly less trendy Yahoo! may seem like an odd one, but despite not having much buzz, Yahoo! is still a huge player online, reaching nearly 700 million users per month. Spotify, in comparison, has about 10 million active monthly users. (Meanwhile, Rhapsody, Yahoo!'s music-service partner since 2008, finds itself now on the rebound.)
As a freemium service (which means basic access is free, but you are encouraged to pay for premium features), Spotify needs to get in front of as many listeners as possible, and hope that enough will pay $5 or $10 per month for ad-free or mobile access. Yahoo!'s CEO, Ross Levinsohn says this deal is about "delivering compelling premium experiences across screens." Translated into English, that means if you subscribe to Spotify via one of the Yahoo pages with an embedded Spotify player, the two companies will split the cash.
Of course, if you're interested in adding a streaming Spotify Play button to your own website or blog, no high-level biz dev deal is required. You can just hop on over to Spotify's website and make a custom music widget that can be dropped into nearly any website.

Kirawira Luxury Tented Camp, Serengeti National Park
Kirawira a Great Choice
Posted on: April 6, 2010 at 5:29PM
We stayed at Kirawira in February of 2009 and found it the perfect location from which to explore the Serengeti. Our tent was luxurious with wonderful views of the plains from our deck; it was so relaxing sitting on the deck in the early morning and evening watching the game in the distance below us. Food and service were outstanding and a far cry from the normal safari fare. Although a bit pricey, we felt it was worth every penny.

This classic California Chardonnay has delicious flavors of apple, nectarine and melon. A hint of toasty oak and vanilla adds depth and complexity, while a touch of acidity balances this refreshing wine that goes great with grilled or steamed seafood, especially shellfish.
River's End offers rich blackberry and cherry aromas with ripe fruit flavors complemented by hints of spice and vanilla from integrated oak. A Merlot that's a perfect choice for grilled portabello mushrooms, grilled chicken or ribs and a nice partner for tomato based pasta dishes. You'll want to stock up on this one!
From the highly rated Novato, California winery of Aussie-born Bruce & Kim Cunningham, this exquisite white wines from the Carneros region shows an amazing balance of acidity and structure while filling the palate with rich, developed fruit flavors. A great choice with mild, luxurious dishes based on shellfish, flaky white fish and poultry.
Crisp flavors of grapefruit and green apple with notes of ripe fig are the most distinguishing charatceristics this fruit-forward, award-winning selection. Produced from a vineyard established more than 100 years ago by descendants of European winemakers, its grapes provide a marvelous complexity and balance. The winemaker recommends serving this delicate treat with grilled or sautéed seafood in a butter or cream sauce. And, it brings out the best in veggie dishes like spinach and cheese-stuffed pasta shells.
After the stunning success of the earlier vintages of Carma Carménère, the vintners at Carma stepped it up yet again for this next vintage. The grapes used for the impressive 2013 Carma Carménère come from the winery's estate vineyard in the sector of Palmilla, a region considered by many to be in "the center of gravity" when it comes to Chilean wine. The 10 year-old vines benefit from deep soils that are clay-like and sandy, are trained onto vertical shoot-positioned trellises, and cane pruned. The wine is a violet red color and the aroma is of fresh red fruit—raspberries and cherries—along with notes of herbs and toasted coffee beans. The aromas follow through on the palate with red fruits, spices and bittersweet chocolate. It is an elegant wine with juicy concentration and persistence.
A rich, full-bodied red wine with nearly as much character as its namesake and inspiration, Sam Brannan, California's first millionaire and 1800's bon vivant. This is a rich, deeply colored wine, bursting with aromas and flavors of blackberry briar, spice, and earth, making it a perfect match for full-flavored, spicy dishes.

I'm sure everyone heard about the power loss at the schools complex on Buckwalter Pkwy earlier this week. If you remember, people were initially told that the schools were closed and to come pick up their children.
Then the power came back on at 10:15 or so and school was back on for Bluffton El and McCracken Middle. Only about 150 children left early from the Elementary school and about 350 left early from the Middle school.

OW and MH, I need to inform you that due to new BT blogging security features (that should now be in place on this site) that mimic Microsoft's security features, you must now change your avtar every six months or face being locked out of the system. Everyone knows that using the same password or avtar for an extended period of time can result in a security risk for this site. There is a risk that a troll may come on the site and mimic your avtar, thus confusing us and misrepresenting you. Seeing that this is a major risk, it has been determined that you need to update your avtars.

I found myself alone with my three younger children earlier this evening - my wife was working and the two teens were visiting their uncle.
The kids were great and chipped in with some jobs I wanted to do around the house so I decided to take us all out to a movie as a reward.
Sensing that I would have a problem getting a 12, 10 and 9 year old in to see Grindhouse, we decided to go see Meet The Robinsons (yes, that was a joke - I would never take them to see Grindhouse).

Or, should I say, the way they are scheduling it. They have decided to wrestle 7 weigh classes in a division (AAA for example) on 7 mats at the SAME TIME. This means that Bluffton (who qualified 9 kids) could have up to 7 kids wrestling at the same time. There are not even close to enough coaches to help them with this. Oh, and the 7 mats are in two different gyms that are about a 5 minute walk away from another.
Last year, A/AA was in one gym while AAA & AAAA were in the other gym. This made much more sense.

For those of you who are football fans online right now - check out ESPN2. They are playing the Florida/Auburn game with SIX camera views at the same time.
I feel like I'm at an ESPN Zone Restaurant (minus the bathroom tvs).
The main panel has the game like you'd normally see it. Surrounding that are camera shots of the two coaches, the announcer, 'skycam' and of one of the benches.
When it cuts to commercial, the five, non main shots stay on the game (minus the announcer).

It's that time of the month again and I can't wait. The third Friday block party will be happening at Calhoun Street - music, food, arts, crafts, community organizations and more.
Last month I saw kids from McCracken selling stuff to help pay for a NYC trip later this school year. I saw Bluffton Self Help collecting food for the needy. I saw the Fair Tax people, the people from Myrtle's, the Bluffton Dog Park folks and more.

ABC News' Jason Ryan reports that officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement has no comment on the arrest request filed by the conservative group ALIPAC (Americans for Legal Immigration) for President Obama to honor his proclamations about upholding the rule of law deporting his Aunt Zeituni Onyango.
"Auntie Zeituni," as President Obama refers to her in his book Dreams From My Father, is the half sister of Barack Obama Sr., the President's late father. Last Fall, she was discovered by media outlets to be living in public housing in Boston, her 2000 request for asylum having been denied by immigration officials in 2004. She has since moved to Cleveland and renewed her request for asylum.
"President Obama has promised the American public that his administration will honor the principles of open government, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "Obama must either deport his aunt or destroy his own credibility by showing her favoritism."
The Justice Department's Office of Immigration Review said Onyango has an immigration appeals court hearing on April 1, at 8:30 am in Boston.
Days before the president election, on October 31, 2008, the Department of Homeland Security instituted a new rule requiring approval before federal agents nationwide could arrest fugitive immigrants, given "negative media or congressional interest," according to a newly disclosed federal document obtained by The Associated Press. That directive has since been lifted.

Man Allegedly Hit Driver with SUV after Crash
EL PASO – Police have charged an El Paso man with aggravated assault after he allegedly pinned another driver with his SUV after a crash.
Police say 42-year-old Oscar Sanchez rear-ended the vehicle of another man at a red light on the 6600 block of Montana on Tuesday evening.
Sanchez then tried to drive away before allegedly pinning the man against his vehicle with his SUV.
The victim was taken to a local hospital. Sanchez was arrested a short time later and booked into the El Paso County Jail under a $45,000 bond.

No. 1 pick Ekblad back on the ice
Toronto, ON (SportsNetwork.com) - This year's No. 1 overall draft pick, defenseman Aaron Ekblad, is back on the ice less than three weeks after sustaining a concussion.
On Saturday, Ekblad, selected by the Florida Panthers back in June, skated at the NHLPA rookie showcase and pronounced himself symptom free. The 18-year-old said that the effects of his concussion subsided less than a week ago.
Ekblad was hurt when absorbing a hit while playing for Team Canada's World Juniors team in a exhibition game against the Czech Republic on Aug. 6.
Due to the injury, both Hockey Canada and the Panthers, who own Ekblad's NHL rights, decided to hold the young defenseman out of the remainder of the summer development camp for next year's World Juniors.
Ekblad, the first defenseman to be taken with the top overall choice of the NHL Draft since St. Louis selected Erik Johnson No. 1 in 2006, recorded 23 goals and 53 points in just 58 regular-season games for the Barrie Colts of the Ontario Hockey League in 2013-14.
The 6-foot-3, 216-pounder is expected to be fully recovered by the time training camp commences in the middle of September.

Urban Cicada Safari
On September 2, as the 9-5ers emptied out of downtown Raleigh, we gathered near the State Legislature Building to embark on an urban insect adventure.
Led by Bill Reynolds, curator of the Arthropod Zoo at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences, we strolled the tree-lined sidewalks of the Legislature Complex, eyes peeled and ears tuned in quest of annual cicadas.
Unlike their periodical cousins who show up every 13 or 17 years in a given location, the annual cicadas – also known as dog-day cicadas – make a yearly […]

So, a little craziness in my neck of the woods.
Secret Service: Federal Way man threatened Pres. Obama | www.kirotv.com
Don't know a lot of details yet, but I saw this on the news when I got home. Looks like he emailed a threat to the president. We talk about threats and that kind of talk a lot here, but he aparently went too far.
They say he had two weapons and suspicious packages that they called the bomb squad for. His mother lives in the appartment with him.
It will be interesting to see where this one goes.

Knight Foundation support for nonprofit news startups shifts focus to growth, sustainability
The Knight Foundation has released a detailed new report today arguing that well-run nonprofit news sites can weather their growing pains and operate at break-even or better.
The report itself has a wealth of statistics on 18 selected sites, all operating for at least three years, but I found the subtext even more interesting.
To those venturing to launch nonprofit sites, the good news is that the turn from start-up funding to new and diversified sources of revenue can be done.
To potential foundation funders, the message is that these sites do important work and have a realistic chance to be in business and expanding in three to five years after initial grants have run out.
Though the sites were chosen as examples of good practice, they together showed revenue growth of 30 percent over the three-year period, 2010-2012. Read more

Real estate appraisers are responsible for assessing the value of a property. Most real estate appraisers are contracted by an individual or a business (via an appraisal company) to perform a series of routine checks that will go on record to establish a property's worth. Appraisers' duties vary based on type of property and specific circumstance. For example, assessing the value of a commercial building may take substantially longer than an assessment of a single home. However, appraisers working on personal homes typically deal with multiple jobs at a time.
Read More...Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
Real Estate Appraisers' salaries tends to stay somewhat level when they assume higher-end positions like Commercial Real Estate Appraiser. On average, Commercial Real Estate Appraisers get paid about the same as Real Estate Appraisers. Real Estate Appraisers most frequently become Residential Real Estate Appraisers and Real Estate Appraisers and Assessors even though median compensation is $9K lower and $19K lower, respectively.
Survey takers who work as Real Estate Appraisers usually report a few specific skills. Fortunate workers who know Valuation can expect a significant pay bump, scoring salaries 33 percent above average. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Data Analysis.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience is an important factor influencing the compensation of Real Estate Appraisers. Salaries of relatively inexperienced workers fall in the neighborhood of $44K, but folks who have racked up five to 10 years see a notably higher median of $61K. On average, Real Estate Appraisers make $64K following one to two decades on the job. Big financial gains seem to result from working for more than two decades; veterans in this group report earning $76K on average.

iPod 160GB Classic: Not dead yet
Worries that the iPod Classic would bite the dust proved unfounded, but is it still the go-to choice for audiophiles?
Yesterday, there were jitters at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts for Apple's media event that the company would discontinue the iPod Classic ($249) without providing a direct replacement. No worries, however, as the seventh-generation 160GB machine remains in the line, unchanged--and that's a good thing. It sounds awfully nice, for a portable device.
I can tell you this: The 160GB Classic smokes my reliable, but ancient, 15GB third-generation iPod. Loaded with identical files, the 160GB has better defined, deeper bass and it has a clearer overall sound with my Monster Turbine Copper in-ear headphones.
Better, much better than Classic sound is available for a lot more money. The Hifiman HM-801 is the current state-of-the-art portable music player, but it has a state-of-the-art price, it's $790! Read my blog post to learn more about the HM-801.
