I agree, i miss jazzland
Recently the city has been planning on building a outlet mall on the old Jazzland grounds! I'm against this because we have plenty of areas threw out the city to build any sorta mall, but not any spaces to build an amusement park! I want to start a protest or a fight to keep the park, as many of the rides are savable! The city has plenty of companies calling to re-open and buy the park, but they are being very selfish. They want to lower kids and teen violence, but are not putting any work into that matter, maybe if we had more things for use teens and kids to do there will be lower crime rate! Mostly all the activities is for grown folks, such as bourbon and things like that. This will be great start for the city and community of New Orleans! Heck I miss Mr.Six dancing!
As I said I want someone to do a protest or something, but don't know where to start! Can anyone help or know how can I talk or mail these people to express my feelings? Is anyone down to help re-open the park?
2013-1014 is the season the Pelicans fanbase grows!!!!
The city needs an amusement park.
PelicansReport.com Sim League
New Orleans Hornets General Manager
This city is an amusement park?
I work out in the East, and what I don't get is why on God's green earth you'd want to open a mallish thing there when there's tons of other space to do that this is closer to the city, just a smidge farther from Chalmette and Slidell.
Plaza anyone? Even if they wanted something more substantial, the Plaza has to go, and there's a model to follow: The mall in Hammond.
Maybe they are just adding something, but it'd be hard to add something like what I see at Tanger Outlets in a 200 mile radius and still keep rides.
I'm looking for a touring-series quality NASCAR track to come to the area, frankly. East would be perfect for such a thing.
"Aime la vérité, mais pardonne à l'erreur." - François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
I know you want a NASCAR track there 42, but would you be down to try and get six flags back? I feel this is what the city needs, the children most importantly. Everything here is mainly for adults, and they wonder why children is doing violent, wrong and bad stuff? Im really serious about this! This 16 year old will really try to get this done, I just need support! So or you down? Will you help?
I'm down for BOTH!
Didn't mean knock down the one for other.
Pile it on.
What are your thoughts? Have you researched the lease on that property with the city?
That's why I mainly need help with. I was watching the news like 3 days ago and seen that they plan on making a outlet mall. After all these years, I figured they was waiting for a buyer to come upon to buy and reopen the PARK! Not no darn mall!
^^it seems when it comes down for the good of something , it doesn't happen! I know they was being stuck up and asking for a lot for that land!
But someone please help me with this. I need help with everything, can someone show me at least where to start?
I don't think it's a good idea to have a mall there. The city will just be financing business that will put other places out of business. Once again the government trying to force something instead of it happening naturally in the private sector.
This is the link to the Facebook like page. Please tell friends and others!
Here's the twitter link
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
I'm not quite sure what you want to "save."
Six Flags had absolutely zero interest in returning to New Orleans. The lease has been broken, and the city now owns the land.
A redeveloper has already been selected, and there's plans to build an outlet mall.
You're about 6 years too late to salvage any Six Flags involvement in the land, about 3 years too late to salvage the proposed replacement park, and about 10 months too late for the latest round of proposals.
I'm worried the outlet mall is another government money cash grab thats going to leave the site empty for 3-5 more years. During the city council meetings, the developer said he had investors and stores lined up, but couldnt tell the CC who they were until there was a deal, and he had funding, but only if they city gave him the land for free along with some big tax breaks.
Meanwhile there was a second competing bid which was a fully funded theme park. So of course the CC chose the outlet mall.
There's a reason the City Council went with the mall over the park.
Two companies, including the world's largest amusement park company, tried to make a park work at that site. Jazzland/SFNO was a complete failure during its five year run.
Two additional companies, including the most watched basic cable channel, tried to make a new park work post-Katrina. Both failed.
Now I don't know if an outlet mall can work there -- but I think it is painfully obvious that a theme park just does not work at that site. Considering the success of the outlets in Gonzales and Gulfport, I think one in the East has a shot at being more successful than an amusement park.
I'm pretty sure Six Flags wasn't making money... When we would go, we very rarely had to wait in line for anything.
So basically your saying there's no chance to save the park? Nor get another in a different place?
If you are looking for a company still trying to bring back the park, here you go.
Thanks so much man! Can you sign the petition on the link you just gave me? And also like the other links at top?
There's no chance to save the park. That doesn't mean a new park couldn't be built in a different location, but the fact that it couldn't work at a site with infrastructure and rides already in place doesn't bode well. IMO, the best chance of NOLA getting a theme park is for the outlet mall to eventually create a park... as of now they are already planning on keeping rides that are salvageable.
"Times are not good here. The city is crumbling into ashes. It has been buried under taxes and frauds and maladministraions so that it has become a study for archaeologists...but it is better to live here in sackcloth and ashes than to own the whole state of Ohio."
Lafcadio Hearn (Inventing New Orleans: Writings of Lafcadio Hearn)
FYI, I would prefer a backlot/film studio/amusement park over an outlet mall. As I said earlier, the best chance for Jazzland to return is for the outlet mall to be a huge success and build on that by creating a true amusement/theme park.
It's been seven years since it closed. SEVEN YEARS!
Local companies couldn't make it work. (Inter)national companies couldn't make it work. Six Flags failed. Nickelodeon could barely get any momentum.
Jazzland, as it stood from 2000-2005, is dead.
Could an amusement park work in a different location? Maybe. I think a smaller scale park could be successful in a number of places in the city.
Can it work in New Orleans East at the intersection of I-10 and I-510? I think the past says no.

Brian Sandoval
This state official-related article is in the process of being updated.
|Brian Sandoval
|Governor of Nevada
|In office
|January 3, 2011 - Present
|Years in position
|Date of birth
|August 5, 1963
|Place of birth
|Redding, California
|Roman Catholicism

|Personal website
Brian Sandoval is a native of Redding, California, though he is a long time resident of Reno, where he completed high school. In college, he studied English and economics, as well as joining the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. After earning his Bachelor's, Sandoval attended law school in Ohio. He was admitted to the bar in both California and Nevada and briefly worked for several Reno area firms before opening his own law office.
He and his wife, Kathleen, have three children.
- The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law, JD, 1989
- University of Nevada, B.A., 1986
- Bishop Manogue High School, 1981
No new taxes or fee hikes
Before his inauguration as Governor of Nevada, Sandoval's Chief of Staff Heidi Gansert said he would not bring new taxes or fee hikes to the citizens of Nevada.
"Given the state of our economy, the governor-elect has decided there will be no new fees or taxes in the budget," she said. "We don't want any obstacles to an economic recovery. We want as much money as possible spent in the private sector."
Gansert said Sandoval's staff is working with Budget Director Andrew Clinger to go through the budget prepared by outgoing Gov. Jim Gibbons. They want to ensure any fee increases included in the plan are eliminated.
Robin Reedy, chief of staff to Gibbons, said a case could be made to seek fee increases for services provided by the state that are not fully covered by current assessments.[1]
Mental health costs and budget 2011-13
In 2011, Sandoval proposed to transfer the state share of operating the mental health courts to the counties. Democrat lawmakers rejected the proposal in mid-May 2011, meaning the addition of another $6 million hole in the two-year budget, starting July 1, 2011.
The party-line vote by members of the Assembly Ways and Means and Senate Finance committees came after repeated testimony from advocates for the courts since the session began that they would close without continued state support because of the fiscal problems the counties face.
Sandoval has proposed eliminating the $3 million a year in general fund state support for the courts operating in Clark and Washoe counties and Carson City. County officials would have to pick up the costs to continue the programs.[2]
See also: Nevada gubernatorial election, 2010
Sandoval announced his bid to enter the governor's race on August 15, 2009, citing concern about how the state was being run. He ousted incumbent Republican Governor Jim Gibbons in the primary and went on to defeat Rory Reid, son of the U.S. Senate Majority Leader, in the general election.[3]
Sandoval first ran for elected office in 1994, and served two terms in the Nevada Assembly -- representing the 25th legislative district -- from 1994 to 1998. In the Assembly, Sandoval served on the Judiciary, Taxation and Natural Resources Committees and sponsored 14 bills that became law -- including bills that prevented felons from suing victims if they are injured committing a crime, increased the penalties for operating a boat under the influence, and allowed indigent defendants to perform community service to defray their legal costs.
While in the Nevada legislature, Sandoval also served on the Nevada Legislative Commission, the Advisory Commission on Sentencing, the Juvenile Justice Commission, the Advisory Council on Community Notification of Sex Offenders and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency Oversight Committee.
In 1998 Sandoval was appointed to serve as a member of the Nevada Gaming Commission, which oversees the state's gaming industry. The following year, at the age of 35, Sandoval became the youngest person ever to serve as chairman of the gaming commission. During his time on the commission, Sandoval fought national efforts to block gambling on college sports events, worked on regulations limiting neighborhood gaming and worked for regulations prohibiting slot machines with themes attractive to children.
Nevada Attorney General
Sandoval announced his bid to succeed three-term Democrat Frankie Sue Del Papa -- who decided not to seek re-election -- as Nevada Attorney General on October 11, 2001.[4] His primary major party opposition was Democratic attorney John Hunt from Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas, who Sandoval defeated by a margin of 58.32% to 33.63% on November 5, 2002.[5] Sandoval took office on January 6, 2003.[6]
While Attorney General, Sandoval led the state's legal fight against the storage nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain, developed Nevada's first Public Integrity Unit and sponsored legislation strengthening Nevada's laws against domestic violence, drug abuse and human trafficking.[7][8]
As Attorney General, Sandoval was also the chairman and a member of several state boards and commissions, including the Nevada Boards of Pardons, Prisons, Transportation, and Examiners, the Cyber-Crime Task Force, the Committee on Domestic Violence and the Prosecutorial Advisory Council.[7][8] He was also the chairman and a member of several state boards and commissions, including the Nevada Boards of Pardons, Prisons, Transportation, and Examiners, the Nevada Cyber-Crime Task Force, and the Prosecutorial Advisory Council.[7][8]
Honors and awards
Throughout his career, Sandoval has received several awards and certificates, including the Hispanics in Politics' 1996 "Broche de Oro Award", the Anti-Defamation League's 2003 "Torch of Liberty Award," the Nevada State Bar's 2004 "Access to Justice Public Lawyer Award," The Latino Coalition's 2004 "Most Influential Hispanic in the U.S. Award" and the 2004 [University of Nevada "Alumnus of the Year Award."[7]

Legislative scorecards are used to evaluate elected public officials based on voting record. Some scorecards are created by political advocacy groups with a focus on specific issues, while others are developed by newspapers and are broad in scope. Scorecards are meant to be used as a tool for voters to have a quick picture of whether their views align with a particular legislator's record.
Because scorecards can be specific to particular issues or general to a state's legislative term, for example, each report should be considered on its own merits. Each entity that publishes these reports uses different methodologies and definitions for the terms used.
An overview for scorecards in all 50 states can be found on this page. To contribute to the list of New Hampshire scorecards, email suggestions to email@example.com.

|Glossary of terms
|Edit review process
Editing pages on Ballotpedia in its most basic form is similar to writing an e-mail. This article describes the basics every editor needs to understand to edit a page, and directs you to the resources that will assist you in learning wiki code.
Editing a page
There are just a few steps you need to follow in order to make and save an edit on Ballotpedia:
- First, you must be logged in. To request a username, please see Help:Registering with Ballotpedia.
- Click the
"Edit"menu tab that appears in the horizontal menu bar at the top of the article.
- Once in the edit window, you will either see a space that is blank (if you are just starting an article) or full of type from the existing article. You can change the existing type or create any type you would like in this box.
- Make your edit. Edits can be large (a whole new page or section) or small (a tiny adjustment in wording or the addition of a picture).
- Preview your edit. You can preview your edit by clicking the
"Show preview"button at the bottom of the page. This button appears between the
"Save page"button and the
"Show changes"button.
- Verify your desired changed by reviewing the page preview.
- Fill in the summary bar directly following the edit window. Your summary does not have to be long, or in sentence format, but should quickly spell out for other readers the work you did on the page (for example, fixed grammatical error). Your summaries will be catalogued on the
"View history"tab of the page.
- Save your edit by clicking the
"Save page"button that appears on the bottom of every
You have now published an edit on Ballotpedia.
Beyond those basic steps of adding content, editing a page may require you to use wiki code, also known as wiki markup, to affect the visual appearance of the page. Much of wiki code is very simple, and can be easily learned. For basic elements that will be very helpful to you, see the Help:Cheatsheet.
Though you can always choose to code the appearance of a page yourself, you can also always copy the code from an existing page that you want to emulate the appearance of and modify it to fit your needs, reducing the time needed to learn wiki markup and code your edit.
Correcting text
Fixing errors is how many people make the jump from reading a wiki to editing one. When you come across an error, follow the steps above to open the edit window, correct the error and save your changes.
Adding content
If you are reading an article, and you think the author left out an important fact, click the
"Edit" menu tab and plug your addition in following the steps in the editing a page section above.
From time to time there will be disagreement on what ought to be included in an article. Editorial discussion is normal and encouraged, but should not take place on the content page. If you have a question about content that has or has not been included in a page, visit the talk page of the article and leave a question or comment.
Checking your edit
It is vitally important to check your work before saving an edit. You will be working with wiki-code while editing, which can make it quite easy to make a mistake, especially if you are new to coding. Follow the steps below to check an edit before saving, ensuring that you leave an error free page for subsequent visitors.
Steps to follow
Follow these steps to check your work before you save:
- Read through the edit box and scan for errors in formatting, code, spelling and grammar. Many browsers have spell checking features embedded within them, and there are many browser extensions you can find that will assist you in spell checking and grammar checking your edit.
- Once you have done an inspection of the code, click the box at the bottom of the edit page that says "show preview." When clicked, this function will load a published preview of your edit. A notice will appear at the top of the page, which states, "Remember that this is only a preview. Your changes have not yet been saved!" Below that notice, your edit will be displayed, followed by the edit window at the bottom of the page.
- In the preview, click through any external links you have added to make sure they go where you intend them to. If any links you check are non-functioning, go to the edit window and correct them.
- After you have checked and made any necessary corrections to your work, save your edit by clicking the "Save page" button at the bottom of the page.
- If the edit you have made is small, such as a slight rearrangement of text or the correction of a misspelling, be sure to click the "This is a minor edit" check box after your edit summary. For more information on minor edits, see the minor edits section of the how to contribute to Ballotpedia page.

OXFORD, Ohio – A seven-run second inning led the Miami University softball team to an important 7-5 victory over Buffalo on Saturday. The RedHawks improve to 12-9 in the Mid-American Conference and 19-31 overall. The Bulls fall to 15-32 overall and 5-14 in the MAC.
Miami got all the runs it needed in the bottom of the second inning. Jenna Modic led off with a double to left field. Kayla Ledbetter tripled to right field to score Modic and get the 'Hawks on the board. A sacrifice fly from Shanyn McIntyre scored Ledbetter. Megan Mattera followed with her second home run of the season, which made it 3-0 and forced a Buffalo pitching change.
The new pitcher walked Kylie McChesney to start things off. Kristy Arbour moved her up a base with a sacrifice bunt. Taylor Shuey followed with a double to right center that scored McChesney and made it 4-0. After Tiyona Marshall walked, Buffalo would bring in its third pitcher of the inning. That did not help the Bulls as Hailey Reed would hit a line shot over the left field wall for a three-run home run that gave Miami a 7-0 lead.
Modic kept Buffalo off the board until they scored two runs in the top of the fourth. After the Bulls hit a two-run home run in the top of the fifth to cut the deficit to three at 7-4, Mattera would come in to relieve her. Buffalo would load the bases and get one more run to make it 7-5, but Mattera induced a groundout to Arbour to end the threat.
In the top of the seventh, Anissa Pinedo led off with a double. After a fly out, pinch-hitter Nora McGuire hit a line shot towards Tiyona Marshall. Marshall caught it and doubled Pinedo off second base to give Miami the win.
Reed finished the game 1-for-3 with three RBI and one run scored. Shuey, Ledbetter, McIntyre and Mattera also recorded RBI for the RedHawks.
Miami completes the regular season on Sunday when it takes on Buffalo at 1 p.m. Prior to the contest, Shannon Tillett will be honored in a Senior Day ceremony. The game will be broadcast live on Miami All-Access for those who have a subscription.

In the first month of 1996, on the eve of the Atlanta Olympic Games, Bob Kennedy moved from his home and training camp in Indiana to Melbourne, Australia, to begin working with the British agent and coach Kim McDonald. Kennedy joined a group of McDonald athletes that included Daniel Komen, Moses Kiptanui, and American miler Steve Holman. Later that summer, Kiptanui would finish second in the Olympic steeplechase, and Komen, of course, set a world record for 3,000m, 7:20.76, that stands to this day.
"From my senior year of college, which was in 1992, and for the next couple years, I was kind of an 85- to 95-mile-a-week person," Kennedy says. "And I went down there and I started running 110, 115 miles a week, and that summer is when I broke all those records."
August of 1996 would be the best month of Kennedy's career. He ran 12:58.21 for 5,000m and 7:31.65 for 3,000m, both new American records, and became the first non-African to break 13:00 for 5,000m. In Atlanta, he finished sixth in the 5,000m after launching a brazen surge into first place with 800 meters to go. His success that summer was the product of more than just a good winter of training in Melbourne – he had been running at a world-class level for years, and was talented in a way that few Americans have ever been, before or since – but he believes that the base he built through the small months of 1996 enabled his breakthrough. "I just felt like I brought my cardiovascular ability and capacity to a whole new level," he says.
Kennedy didn't reinvent the wheel, and neither should other runners hoping to move their training and racing to that new level, world class or otherwise. But his example is instructive, and it highlights what is perhaps the most fundamental element of proper distance training – a well-executed base phase. By providing a solid foundation of aerobic running early in a training cycle, the right base phase can be the difference between an "OK" season and a season of consistent, high-level running. That is to say, the difference between good running and great running.
So, what does a well-executed base phase look like?
Simple But Not Easy
Building a base is relatively simple. Legendary New Zealand coach Arthur Lydiard famously prescribed high mileage for all of his athletes, from half-milers to marathoners, and they took the world of running by storm in the 1960s. The base was Lydiard's great and revelatory contribution to the art of coaching, and we do well to remember it.
Still, in the years since Lydiard ruled, athletes and coaches have tweaked and revised some aspects of the base. Today we know that plenty of aerobic mileage will reward runners as they head into specific stages of training, and later into the racing season, but we also know that the base isn't just about running 100 miles a week and drinking beer. (Lydiard was an advocate of that, too.)
According to former Olympic marathoner Jenny Spangler, the base phase serves two purposes. The first and most important is creating aerobic strength. But for the athletes she coaches in the Chicago area, Spangler also stresses the value of incorporating light speed work, strides and weight training into the base.
"Definitely a long time ago, when you talked about base training it was just putting in the distance," she says. Now, she thinks it's a mistake to avoid harder running one or two days a week. "For me, base training is to get yourself physiologically, and actually mentally and emotionally, ready to go to the next step, which would be more speed-type work and harder running. If you go from regular mileage all the time to all of a sudden, 'lets get on the track,' you're more prone to injury, and I don't think you can get as much out of yourself."
Spangler recommends weekly hill and fartlek workouts, plus incorporating strides two days a week after an easy run. (See "Sample Base Camp" at the end of the next page.) Fartlek in particular allows you to focus on feel rather than time at a juncture in your training when hitting specific splits can be counterproductive. "I try to get people to run more by effort and throw away their watches," she says.
Kennedy, who spent most of his career running the 5,000m, took a similar approach to his base. "There are three basic phases to a training cycle," he says. "Base, strength, and speed. The problem that most athletes have is that they think [the phases] are mutually exclusive. I think that the phase of training is defined by what you are focusing on during that phase. But you always do a little of all of those things. There's never a time of year when you're just running mileage or you're just doing speed. You're always doing all of it, it's just a matter of to what degree." (When Kennedy speaks about strength he generally means threshold work – tempos, progression runs, and the like.)
Kennedy's most successful base phases, then, emphasized mileage. When he was preparing for outdoor track as a professional, this phase might begin in mid-December after a post-summer break and last all the way into early March. During these months he would run the highest mileage of his year, usually between 105 and 120 miles a week, with doubles six days a week and a two-hour long run. Starting in December he would also do a weekly threshold run and one interval session, though the intervals were "threshold" intervals, meaning much slower than his 5K race pace. Like Spangler, he incorporated strides after easy runs. By late January and early February, Kennedy would begin touching on 5K race pace, but threshold workouts still predominated.
Benefits of Base
Kennedy thinks that this phase allowed him to work harder as the year went on. "The most important facet of a training program is recovery, in my opinion," he says. "And so the more recovered you are, the better your body will be at adapting and being faster and stronger." By increasing his body's capacity to pump blood, Kennedy not only raised his aerobic threshold in the base phase, he also increased his ability to translate a hard workout into fitness down the road. "A great base allows you to have slightly faster recovery when you're really into it, and that's huge," Kennedy says.
Kennedy, a 5,000m man, and Spangler, a marathoner, agree philosophically about the base phase. They agree that mileage is important but that a well-rounded phase incorporates some faster running. Practically, though, Kennedy leaned more in the direction of threshold work for his harder efforts, and Spangler tends to put more hills and fartlek on the schedule. Where you should fall on that spectrum depends on your goal races, some experimenting, and, frankly, what type of training you most enjoy. That is, if a tempo run is more tempting than 2-minute pick-ups on a cold February morning when your peak races are months away, then have at the tempo run.
Even so, seven-time U.S. champion Alan Culpepper structured his base to include little planned hard running, which is why the point about experimentation and individualization is so important. Unlike Kennedy and Spangler, Culpepper devoted his early base just to running, followed by a transition period of once-a-week easy workouts. What should a careful reader make of all this?
Culpepper lives outside of Boulder, Colo., and is careful to point out that his advice is specific to altitude. "At altitude it's just very easy to overdo it," he says. "Being at altitude all year round made for a different base phase than if you're at sea level or go to altitude just for different periods." He found that a six-week block of solid mileage, with a long run and a medium long run mid-week, allowed him to gain strength before restarting workouts. The once-a-week workout phase also lasted up to six weeks, after which his base followed a more traditional course, like what Kennedy and Spangler describe. Regardless, he says, "the key is to have nice consistent training."

Pierre Spies believes he can become the world's premier No 8.
Speaking in the new issue of SA Rugby magazine, on sale now, Spies said he would not make excuses for having confidence in his ability.
'If you look at the guys out there, not much separates them. I'd like to think I have that extra bit that sets me apart. I know it'll be perceived as arrogance, like: "Listen to this guy talking himself up. He needs to learn his place." That's the way we are as humans isn't it? We're encouraged to aspire to be the greatest, then shot down when we do. But it's not arrogance. I know my limitations and strengths and I'd like to believe that I can be the best in the world.'
Spies also speaks out about allegations that he tested positive for steroids before the 2007 World Cup, how religion helped him stave off depression during that period and his battle with Ryan Kankowski for the Bok jersey, while Heyneke Meyer and Jake White give unique insight into what makes Spies the player he is.
Also in the new issue:
– An out of shape, demotivated JP Pietersen failed to score a single try in last year's Super 14. The Sharks winger speaks candidly about that nightmare period and how he got his mojo back.
– Sireli Naqelevuki on adjusting to life in Cape Town, Fiji's player drain to New Zealand, why foreigners should be allowed to play for South African sides, being busted for smoking marijuana, and why he desperately wants to play in the 2011 World Cup.
– George Smith on his goals for the season, why he enjoys playing under the hybrid ELVs, whether Australia could field a competitive fifth Super Rugby side and who he'd pick for the Springbok loose trio.
– With Dan Carter still injured, Luke McAlister's return to New Zealand in May after a successful two-year stint with Sale could be a godsend for the All Blacks.
– Jake White column: 'The Boks mustn't underestimate the Lions'.
– Having enjoyed success on tour in 1971 and 1974, does Welsh legend Gareth Edwards believe this year's Lions will return from South Africa as heroes too?
– Why getting sevens into the Olympics would help rugby become a truly global game.
– CJ van der Linde desperately wants to be in the Bok front row against the British & Irish Lions, but playing overseas could count against him.
– England's Kiwi centre Riki Flutey lifts the lid on a youth of gambling, drinking and violence and speaks of his horror time in an Argentinean jail.
– When Matt Stevens became addicted to alcohol and cocaine he knew he was gambling with his rugby career. The England prop explains why he did it, how he reacted when he heard he'd failed a drugs test and his desire to fight his way back from a two-year ban.
– While the Varsity Cup provides a party atmosphere, winning matters.
– Clint Eastwood's big-screen portrayal of the Springboks' 1995 World Cup win will tell the story of a divided nation united by rugby. SA Rugby magazine finds out more about the movie starring Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman.

PHILADELPHIA — Are lap dances a form of theater?
That's what the owners of three Philadelphia "gentlemen's clubs" are contending as they try to block the city from taxing income from private dances — a move that would cost them as much as $1.5 million.
During the next few weeks, the city's Tax Review Board will decide whether Club Risque, Cheerleaders, and Delilah's must owe additional "amusement tax," the city levy most commonly paid on tickets to a ball game or a concert — but not on theater tickets.
Philadelphia exempts "legitimate contemporary American theater" performances from the amusement tax. So, lawyers for the three clubs argued Tuesday before the five-member tax panel that erotic dancing is in fact a theatrical performance.
To help their cause, they commissioned an expert report from a Queens College professor with two Yale School of Drama degrees.
Katherine Profeta visited all three clubs and concluded the performances she witnessed fell squarely into the "multi-focal, immersive theater experience" as well as the country's long-standing "burlesque tradition."
She said she found dancers creating characters, displaying "technical virtuosity" and "grace and balance." She was even impressed with their skill while wearing enormous platform shoes, which she compared to ballet dancers mastering toe shoes.
Deputy City Solicitor Marissa O'Connell, arguing on the city's behalf, said she had a background in classical ballet and seemed particularly pained by the comparison.
"But toe shoes make you bleed," she said.
O'Connell said the businesses had never described themselves before as theaters, exempt from the tax.
"They hold themselves out as nightclubs," she said. "If they want an exemption, you have to apply. I'm not really sure why we're here."
George A. Bochetto, an attorney for Club Risque and Cheerleaders, said the exemption for "legitimate theater" was "vague and open to abuse."
"Who's to judge?" he asked. "Is there such a thing as illegitimate theater?"
The question of artistic legitimacy is just one issue at play in the hearing on the appeal, which will continue Thursday, when another expert witness plans to testify on the choreography of lap dancing.
The clubs pay the amusement tax on the entrance fee charged to customers. Bochetto argued that activity inside the club isn't subject to the tax.
He said the city was not going after other businesses that charge separately for entrance and for services provided inside — like a piano bar that charges $2 to request a song.
"If you are not treating them similarly, you are treating them unconstitutionally," he said.
Stephen Howard, the attorney for Delilah's, said the city had never before asked the club to collect the amusement tax on lap dances.
"They gave us no advanced warning," he said. "In our wildest dreams, we would have never interpreted the tax in this way."
The clubs were hit for back taxes after an audit for the years 2008-10. O'Connell said that the auditors' "understanding of the clubs have evolved over time."
She said Cheerleaders was taxed in 2007 for money collected from dances in private rooms, where customers pay $600 an hour "for the time and, I guess, the attention of a beautiful woman, which is fine."
"That is an additional activity that's subject to the tax," she said. "Just because the city hasn't assessed it before, if it's taxable, it's taxable."

Smart Grid
Smart Grid
The smart grid is a digital network that unites electrical providers, power-delivery systems and customers, and allows two-way communication between the utility and its customers. Smart grids have the potential to improve the efficiency of energy distribution and usage, both through the grid's design and through consumer participation. Though smart grids aren't in widespread use yet in the United States, some U.S. utilities have begun smart grid pilot projects or have deployed smart meters in residential areas.
It is estimated that smart grid enhancements will ease congestion and increase utilization (of full capacity), sending 50% to 300% more electricity through existing energy corridors. Given population growth and the exponential increase in the number of power-hungry digital components in our digital economy, additional infrastructure must be built – Smart or not.

My colors were eggplant and coral and the invites look great! Shipped and received in the timeline provided when I ordered. Some of the invites had small spaces where the color had come off but nothing worth contacting customer service about. The RSVP postcards are very convenient, no extra envelopes to order and postcards stamps are a little cheaper than regular stamps. And we didn't have to purchase special postage for the actual invitation as the weight was within normal postal ranges. Everyone loved it and mentioned how elegant it looks. I ordered a Just One sample before placing my final order. I recommend doing this because it allows you to see in person what you will be getting. And each invitation looked exactly the same, so no errors when printed in bulk. Great product and there is always some promo code to help with the price :-)
Excellent price and quality!
When I found this site I was impressed with there pricing, and the fact that you could order a sample pack to see what the colors look like and the quality of the different types of paper(huge impact on why we went with them ). The sample pack did take longer then expected to arrive but I was impressed once it arrived. I was able to get a great deal on the price with a discount they had over the Thanksgiving Holiday! Once I placed the order, I was able to track my invitations and they came right on time. They were beautifully done and everything that I expect. The customization process was also very easy. I was able to complete them in an evening, and use the verbage that they had already created in the invitation(just had to switch the names and dates around). I couldn't be happier!
Elegant and Beautiful
Great company to work with and Sue was very helpful and accommodating! I will definitely be using again and pass the name along! I was given the name of this site from another happy bride! There was an error with my order and it was rectified immediately! Greatly appreciated! These invitations are BEAUTIFUL, the paper it is printed on is thick and luxurious. The customizable options are endless and make a huge difference when you are looking to have unique invitations. You can choose any color combinations! If your budget allows I would highly recommend adding the velum, envelope inserts, initial sticker and return address labels. My wedding colors are red, black and white and I was able to incorporate my colors with ease and creativity. I have looked locally and on TONS of online stores and nothing... All boring and they all have the same designs with little to NO customizable options. I am doing a destination wedding off the resort and wanted nontraditional destination wedding invitations and these SURE fit the bill! People have said my invitations are the fanciest they have ever seen and are blown away! Don't get me wrong I spent a pretty penny on these invitations but I have looked around and with all the bells and whistles I have ordered would be triple the price anywhere else! DO not hesitate to order from these guys! I would be surprised if you were disappointed with these!! LOVE THIS SITE AND LOVE MY INVITATIONS!
Nice Quality
Nice Quality invitations. The only thing I didn't like was that the invitations did not come with any instructions and the vellum bands require additional stickers to purchase. We ended up using glue to seal the vellum bands. The envelope liners also did NOT COME already in the envelope so we had to glue those inside the envelope as well.

ok... They are so cute, but poorly made. I was putting them one and the button popped of!!! I was so mad. Keep in mind "cute but poorly made". August 1, 2014
Cute, except... These were SO CUTE in the store & they look ADORABLE until you wash them. I noticed they had faded while my daughter was wearing them for the first time. After the 2nd time I washed them, they're no longer neon pain splatters, they're definitely pastels. So disappointing!!! January 28, 2014

After considering this question for years I have yet to encounter a single case of that happening in the entire history of mankind.
Of course since 'proof' by presenting just more faith wouldn't be 'demonstrable' and lucky guesses wouldn't count either, the question is a real pickle for the faithful.
This seems to be a fundamentally important question because: 1) If there were such a case it would show that faith can indeed be a valid path to rknowledge, and 2) If there is no case than faith-based claims to real knowledge can and probably should be hooted down as fatuous nonsense, it seems to me.
I wonder why rational proponents of science, fact, logic and common sense reasoning do not pose this question as a challenge more often—as a sort of 'acid test'?

The 8GB microSD doesn't seem to work, it hides the V.me checkout when you enter the coupon.

It seems to be a minimum of 2.
DallasGG ( ) Mar. 5, 2013 at 1:08pm
I tried purchasing the 8 GB microSD card and after I enter the discount code, it doesn't let me select the V.me payment option. If I select the V.me payment option BEFORE entering the discount code, there is not option to enter the discount code later. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get it to work.

The Lady Eagles find themselves in a familiar position, as their season comes down to a game three match-up. Last season, West Union played a decisive third game in every round of the playoffs, and after Saturday's doubleheader with Pine Grove, will do so once again on the road at Pine Grove.
West Union took the first game, 5-1 after scoring four runs in the sixth. Down 1-0 in the fourth, the Lady Eagles plated their first run, then tacked on their insurance runs to take the win.
Danielle Taylor picked up the win, giving up one run on three hits, while the Lady Eagles had four hits.
Kimberly Jumper was the lone player with multiple hits for West Union, including a triple.
In game two, west Union got on the board first only to have Pine Grove bring in five runs in the second. Down 7-2 in the sixth, West Union had three runs in the final two innings, but could not complete the comeback.
Brittany Taylor had the loss, giving up seven runs on five hits, while West Union had six hits in the game. Each team also had six errors.
Leah Paige Goolsby and Jessica Gates had multiple hits, including a homerun by Goolsby. Claire Wilkerson contributed with a double.
Game three of the series will take place on Tuesday at Pine Grove with the winner advancing to the third round versus Smithville starting on Thursday.

Earth Day
Earth Day
On April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans took to the streets, parks and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment. Massive coast-to-coast rallies occurred. Thousands of colleges and universities organized protests against the deterioration of the environment. Groups that had been fighting against oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, raw sewage, toxic dumps, pesticides, freeways, the loss of wilderness and the extinction of wildlife suddenly realized they shared common values.
Gaylord Nelson, a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, founded Earth Day after witnessing the ravages of the 1969 massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. Pete McCloskey, a conservation-minded Republican Congressman, served as co-chair at Nelson's request; and Denis Hayes served as national coordinator building a staff to promote events across the U.S.
Since 1970, Earth Day (April 22) continues to be celebrated annually as the green movement grows bigger and more widespread. The day is observed across the world. (Source: Earth Day Network, Photo: Flickr)

Galaxy Player Evaluations: Dan Keat and Jack McBean
Galaxy Player Evaluations: Dan Keat and Jack McBean
Another day and two more evaluations completed.
On Saturday, I reviewed second-year midfielder Dan Keat, who made a total of three appearances in 2012, but saw much of his season limited after undergoing surgery on his right knee. Following Keat was teenage forward Jack McBean, who led the Galaxy's CONCACAF Champions League campaign and Reserve League squad in scoring.
We'll have reviews on goalkeeper Bill Gaudette and rookie midfielder Kenney Walker later today.
You can find my evaluations for Keat and McBean below.

We seem to be on the path.
Louisiana's Gov. Jindal was in Charlotte last week for the Republican National Committee meeting. In a highly publicized speech, he chided the GOP for being the "stupid" party. Of course, Jindal then went on to tell Republicans to continue doing many of the things that have led to the questioning of GOP intelligence.
And there was this other bit of hypocrisy about Jindal delivering such a message, particularly his comments that "by obsessing with zeroes on the budget spreadsheet, we send a not-so-subtle signal that the focus of our country is on the phony economy of Washington, instead of the real economy out here in Charlotte, and Shreveport (La.), and Cheyenne (Wyo.)." In his Bayou State, which drags the bottom of national rankings on everything from education to infant mortality to poverty, Jindal has proposed an austere budget that slashes funding for higher education, preschool, Medicaid and other social services, and eliminates corporate and personal income taxes.
So much for not focusing simply on the zeroes on the budget sheets.
But in words and policy proposals, N.C. lawmakers seem to be set on following Louisiana's example — and that of other less-than-stellar states on important scales of livability and success.
In fact, the Republican-controlled N.C. legislature and executive branch may be angling to lead the way in pushing or adopting nearly every policy or position on a conservative agenda that will make the poor poorer, the rich richer and leave the middle class gasping as they work ever harder to try to hang on and hang in.
Gov. Pat McCrory's unfortunate radio diatribe against liberal arts education, and by inference, smearing of one of North Carolina's institutions respected nationwide as a good value — its university system — is a bit player in that scenario. He repeated in his radio remarks one of the right's favorite disparagements of the left these days — the "educational elite" — an ironic phrase to use as denigration of liberals since many successful conservatives have liberal arts educations, come from financially "elite" families and often attended private institutions that most regular folks could not afford.
But the scary part is that McCrory also said his staff is drafting legislation that would base funding of the state's universities and community colleges on how many of the students can get jobs — and what courses they should take that will lead to jobs. How he or his staff would be able to appropriately make such an assessment is anybody's guess. Better preparing students for the work world is something that colleges and universities must do. But skills gained from a liberal arts education are as valuable as those in technical and trade fields, studies show and experts say.
These kinds of attacks on higher education are part and parcel of the conservative playbook that aims to cut public funding for liberal arts schools.
North Carolina is amplifying conservative dogma in several policy moves.
School vouchers, charter schools, teacher pay-for-performance, cutting unemployment benefits, slashing preschool money, eliminating corporate and personal income taxes have all been on the agenda of N.C. Republicans, as they have been visibly on the agenda of conservative-run or -led states around the country.
Last week, lawmakers began debating proposals that would reject state involvement in setting up health exchanges required under the Affordable Care Act and refuse expansion of Medicaid funding and return money to the federal government that would pay for the health needs of half a million low-income people.
Proponents of the move call it a new assertion of states' rights but the genesis of such moves nationwide came last June after the Supreme Court upheld the health care law. In a fit of pique, Republican governors — Jindal was one of the leaders — declared they would not implement the law. The Christian Science Monitor said Americans for Prosperity, the conservative advocacy group with links to the Koch brothers, was a big prodder of the governors to resist the law's Medicaid expansion and state-based insurance exchanges.
Their "resist, resist, resist" stand on the federal health-care law has echoes of Southern states' resistance of the federal school desegregation law. Proclaiming "states' rights" and decrying federal interference, states hoped to kill the law. They managed to drag out enforcement for two decades.
That's likely the hope today too.
In turning back federal money for the insurance exchanges, North Carolina and other states are rejecting tax credits and subsidies that would go to state residents and small businesses to help with the cost of health care — those breaks reportedly could be worth as much as several thousand dollars per person. And exchanges, which are simply gateways to help residents get access to affordable insurance, are expected to be weakened without state involvement. That would leave middle-class and low-income families still scrambling to find affordable care.
As importantly, without access to affordable insurance, many might go without insurance, and taxpayers would pick up the tab for their care in emergency rooms — a more expensive tab.
So let's sum up: North Carolina is turning down money the federal government wants to give us, changing unemployment policy in a way that will mean thousands will lose federal money in addition to state dollars, standing in the way of health exchanges that will help residents get health care instead of relying on taxpayer-backed emergency room care, pushing more people into poverty, into homelessness and perhaps into crime.

Because People Are Terrible, Here is a Nazi-Themed Cafe in Indonesia
Because, um... because people suck, I guess?
Because people will do anything for money, one Henry Mulyana has opened a Nazi-themed cafe in the Indonesian city of Bandung. An entire wall is decorated with swastikas and Hitler memorabilia, and the staff are asked to wear SS uniforms (Yep, those pictures at the top are the inspiration and the modern cafe, waitstaff out front in the latter). Which means someone thought it was a good idea to open this place, other people actually took jobs in which they dress like Nazis on a daily basis, and enough people frequent such an establishment as to keep it open for two years and counting. And here I was getting all optimistic and idealistic about the human race.Read More

Excellent and Affordable
Loved this magnet Save the Date. Personalizing the design was fantastic - I only wish I had the nitty gritty details to edit too (like the colors of the stitching separately from the other colors). Great design and personalization tools.
Love Love Love my Save the date magnets!!
I ordered magnets with the carrier cards and label/seal set and I couldn't be happier! I am so in love with the luxe pearl paper, I was worried about the quality but I am very pleased :)
Love love love this magnet! :)
This design caught my eye right away! Once I customized it to my colors (charcoal grey, eggplant, hydrangea green) I loved how it looked. Charcoal was the background color with everything else in eggplant and green. The photos I chose to use were very colorful so that helped add the right amount of extra color. After purchasing, I liked how you could track what stage your order was in and it gave a description of what was being done. The magnets were produced very quickly and shipped before the estimated shipping date. Overall, I highly recommend ordering from here and I absolutely adore my save the dates! :)
Loved my magnets!
The quality was great and they came in very fast. I loved the box that they came in for free and the wedding book was very helpful!
We loved them

Thanks to the power of social media, a puppy will soon have a new forever home!
After their previous dog died of cancer, a pair of sisters took to Facebook on Tuesday in an effort to get their father to adopt another. The pair posted a photo of themselves holding a sign that read, "Hi World. We want a puppy! Our dad said we could get one if we get one million likes! He doesn't think we can do it! So 'LIKE' this!"
Luckily for the two girls and their new puppy, the photo quickly hit the goal, amassing 1.2 million likes in just seven hours. In a post on their Facebook page, Twogirlsandapuppy, the girls' father promises he'll be true to his word to give a lucky dog a new home.
Congratulations, girls!
Are you interested in adopting a new puppy, too? Visit our Virtual Adoption Center today!

Job well done.

The All Blacks suffered a major loss to their front row as loosehead prop Tony Woodcock will miss the team's next Test against the Wallabies on Saturday.
The 31-year-old, who has played 71 Tests, is sidelined with a rib injury and will miss this weekend's clash in Auckland. It's a big blow considering the player's contribution to the All Blacks' dominant scrum displayed against Australia in Sydney last weekend.
Woodcock is set to be replaced by Crusaders prop Wyatt Crockett in the starting line-up.
Crockett has only featured in six Tests since making his international debut in 2009.
Meanwhile, the Wallabies also lost a front-rower in loosehead prop Sekope Kepu for the upcoming Test. Kepu is struggling with a knee injury, and is set to be replaced by either James Slipper (who was on the bench in Sydney) or Ben Alexander.
