Use old buttons to create Bright Button Flowers from Heidi Borchers. Crafts made from recycled items are a fun and cheap way to go green.

- Buttons - 5 Assorted sizes & colors (mine are from Blumenthal Lansing Buttons)
- Wooden skewer sticks (stems)
- Embroidery floss - approximately 10" for each flower
- Glue (I've used Aleene's Tacky Glue)
- Fabric (tear into strips approximately 5/8" wide x 18" long) for covering wood skewer
- Ribbon (for stem) 1/2" x 10"
- Snip a small cut 5/8" from the edge of fabric with scissors.
- Tear into strip.
- Gather your wooden skewers and fabric strips.
- To wrap the fabric onto the wooden skewer, place small amount of glue onto the end of the skewer.
- Place about 1/2" of the end of the fabric strip into the glue.
- Bend fabric over and twist the skewer as you wrap the fabric.
- Place glue onto the last 1" of strip and continue to wrap to end of fabric.
- Place a small amount of glue on each end of the embroidery floss and twist end with fingers. Let glue dry. When glue is dried, the dried glue on the end of the floss will be the 'needle' to go through the buttons holes.
- Stack the buttons, with the smallest on top. Put the embroidery floss 'needle' through hole in top of smallest button, continue to push floss end through hole in each button.
- When the floss end comes out the back of largest button, place the floss end back into opposite hole.
- Continue threading floss through each button hole.
- Turn the buttons over, carefully pull the floss 'loop' up, so that the fabric covered skewer can be inserted under floss. Place glue onto button, and place wooden skewer into glue and under embroidery loop.
- Carefully turn button flower over, and pull the embroidery floss tight and tie into knot. Cut off excess floss leaving approximately 1/4 - 3/8" tails on floss.
- Tie ribbon bow on skewer.

Technology News Archive - October 22, 2005
By Lu, June; Yu, Chun-Sheng; Liu, Chang ABSTRACT For wireless Internet services via mobile technology (WIMT), are there any unique determinants for user acceptance of this technology innovation? Based on literature review, this paper proposes a model of three latent constructs: Facilitating Conditions, Wireless Trust, and intention to adopt WIMT, where Facilitating Conditions influences perceived trust in the wireless mobile environment which, in turn, influences user intention to adopt wireless mobile technology.
Hollywood is gearing up for an ugly war over rival DVD formats, but the real battle may be in keeping customers hooked on physical discs at all. "The irony of this format war is that it comes at the tail end of the century-long era of physical media," said Ted Schadler, analyst with Forrester Research.

I guess Stacy Keibler forgot her invitation to the main Metropolitan Art Museum costume ball this weekend, and could only make it to the after party. Those doors don't open as wide when The Clooney ain't around. Which is nuts, because her body in that dress could get her into a Papal Conclave. Speaking of Clooney, the two of them haven't been seen around much with one another lately. Perhaps there's some trouble in paradise? Hey, Clooney always knows when it's time to move on. Doubtless Stacy knew that before going into it. Besides, she never seemed like the kind to settle for being arm candy - even for a mega A-lister like George. I don't know what the deal is there, but if they have called it quits, many thanks for being mature and for keeping it quiet. The last thing we need nowadays is any more high profile break up shit in the news.

Recipe by Kikkoman
"Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce gives these easy meatballs a delectable flavor."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 tablespoons
minced onion
1/4 cup
Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce
2 pounds
lean ground beef
1 cup
Kikkoman Panko Bread Crumbs
Kikkoman Teriyaki Baste & Glaze
Made these in the crockpot and added some green pepper and shredded carrots and served over rice made a good meal thanks for the recipe
Okay, no way were these done in 20 minutes at 325. I checked them and they were still very pink. I put them back in at 350 for another ten minutes. That was better but they were still a tiny bit pink in the middle. When they were done, I tasted one to see how it was. Hmmm, okay but the teriyaki was sure a very subtle taste. I decided that rather than just basting them, I'd make a glaze. I threw together some teriyaki, a couple tablespoons black raspberry jelly along with some cornstarch and cooked it down a bit (sorry, I don't have exact measurements) until it made up a glaze and threw the meatballs in there. It decidedly improved the flavor and the teriyaki taste. Without the glaze and the extra cooking time, this recipe would have been a total loss. With the glaze, I might make it again.

The Business Analytics and Mathematical Sciences Department of the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center invites applications for its 2014-2015 Herman Goldstine Memorial Postdoctoral Fellowship for research in the mathematical and computer sciences. The fellowship provides scientists of outstanding ability an opportunity to advance their scholarship as resident department members at the Research Center. The Research Center is located in Westchester County, less than an hour north of New York City.
The department provides an atmosphere in which basic research is combined with work on technical problems arising in industry. Our permanent members, academic visitors, and post-doctoral fellows pursue research in pure and applied mathematics and in theoretical and exploratory computer science. Areas of research include: algorithms (approximation, randomized, and on-line); complex systems; data mining (machine learning, pattern recognition, computational statistics); dynamical systems; high-performance computing (scientific computing, parallel computing, big-data); inverse problems; numerical analysis; optimization (discrete, continuous, global and stochastic); probability theory (stochastic models, risk management, queues & queuing networks); statistics (time-series, multivariate analysis, spatiotemporal analysis, design & reliability); simulation; and operations management (revenue management, pricing, performance modelling, supply-chain).
Close interaction with permanent department members is expected and encouraged, but fellows are free to pursue their own research interests.
Up to two fellowships will be awarded. Candidates must have received a Ph.D. degree after September 2010 or should expect to receive one before the fellowship commences in the second half of 2015 (usually in September). The fellowship has a period of one year, and may be extended another year by mutual agreement. The stipend is expected to be between $95,000 and $120,000, depending on the length of experience. An additional allowance for moving expenses will be provided.
Deadline: Jan. 16, 2015

Warehousing Web Analytics
Date Added: Aug 2009
Format: PDF
Innovation in the use of online data via traditional web analytics solutions has plateaued - focusing primarily on reporting basic facts about aggregated site usage. From long experience with Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Business Intelligence (BI), it is clear that aggregate reporting alone represents only a fraction of the opportunity to create value from the collection and analysis of customer behavior. Integrating site behaviors with additional customer information, understanding visitor mindset via current behavior, and driving customer contact via intelligent analysis of that behavior are the applications that drive the most value to the organization.

Season's Greetings Wilson School Families,
As a parent of two young school-age children, life is a blur! I'm sure many of you parents feel the same way. As the holiday season approaches I hope you share my goal of taking a breath, being appreciative, and having some meaningful time with family. In education we are thankful for the opportunities to impact young lives. Our students are the reason we are here. Their learning and progress is our school's mission.
At Wilson we have much to be thankful for. We first thank our PTO parents. Not only do they raise money to support our educational programs but they also help in so many ways on a daily basis. In the last few weeks they have successfully organized our annual Frosty and Santa photos, our Holiday Gift Shop which will take place on December 16-18th, and a very special performance of Frosty by TheaterWorks Productions to be held on December 12th. They also help supervise the playground during morning line-up, lend a helping hand to faculty, students, and staff, along with volunteer in various other ways. At every level, when we need something, there are parents willing to step up and fill the need. I can't tell you how much we appreciate all that you do. You are wonderful!!
A big thank you must also be extended to our outstanding faculty members. They volunteer so much of their time supporting our school's vision for excellence in education. I am constantly amazed by teachers who are going above and beyond their regular teaching duties to provide our children with positive educational experiences. I am tremendously proud of all they manage to accomplish each and every day. You are truly amazing!!
When we come back refreshed from Winter Break in January our focus will be on academics as we buckle down in preparation for the PARCC testing. As you might know, last year Wilson School piloted the PARCC test in grades 3, 4 & 5 and we were pleasantly surprised by the ease of the transition. Our students never cease to impress us. For more information on the PARCC testing, example questions, and practice tests you may visit the Department of Education website at www.state.nj.us/education.
Many students are also eager to participate in the Principal's Weekend Study Island Challenges. Rest assured they will begin the second week in January.
Now that our unpredictable winter weather is here to stay, please make sure that your child comes to school dressed for the conditions. Students will continue to line up outside in the morning and on warmer days go out for Physical Education and recess as long as it isn't raining. Our students need recess and Physical Education and they enjoy it.
Lastly, as we enter this season of giving, think hard about your gifts to your children. The greatest gift—the gift that keeps on giving—is education.
Happy Holidays!

Statehood issue has reached a critical stageTRS approach lacks 'common sense'TDP fails in its attempt to 'isolate' BJP
MAHABUBNAGAR: State BJP president N. Indrasena Reddy has asked cadre to brace up to launch a movement for division of Andhra Pradesh, apparently indicating that the party is keen on reviving the demand for separate Telangana.
Addressing the BJP State executive here on Monday, he recalled the party stand favouring smaller States for administrative convenience. Referring to the recent statement of Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee who is chairman of the UPA sub-committee, he said it was clear that the Centre would not take the initiative on formation of Telangana. He said: " The Telangana issue has reached a critical stage."
He said the UPA sub-committee had no moral right to seek the BJP's stand on Telangana without making public its own stand. He wanted Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to convene an all-party meet or appoint a committee to discuss the Telangana issue if the Government was sincere.
All-party meet sought
Mr. Reddy criticised the Telangana Rashtra Samithi for lacking "common sense" that the Congress which was in power both at the Centre and in the State should first respond on the issue.
The BJP president sharply criticised TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu for "daydreaming" of isolating the BJP, splitting the NDA and joining hands with Left parties to form the Third Front. The Bihar Assembly results had dashed these hopes.
Claiming that the atmosphere in the State was favourable for the BJP, he said people were fed up with the "opportunistic politics and internal squabbles" of the TDP, the Left and the TRS. He asked the cadre to expose the 'anti-people' policies of the Government both at the Centre and in the State.
Former BJP national president M. Venkaiah Naidu, inaugurating the meet, urged party activists to get closer to people by organising struggles and ensure its emergence as an alternative in the State. Referring to the impending assumption of office by the JD(S)-BJP coalition in Karnataka, he said people's mandate was "now being respected."

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
Steve Warren.
On April 20, 2013, the 24th annual GLAAD Media Awards were held in Los Angeles. The most controversial moment came when the Agent for Change Award was presented to former President Clinton, but the evening included many more highlights, including a rousing speech directed at the Supreme Court by entertainment attorney Steve Warren, who received the Stephen F. Kolzak Award, which honors an openly glbtq member of the entertainment or media community for his or her work toward eliminating homophobia. His speech and other video highlights are below.
In the video below, host Drew Barrymore opens the awards ceremony.
Steve Warren was introduced by Charlize Theron and Leonardi DiCaprio and proceeded to give a speech in which he called Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia a bully and pleaded with Supreme Court Justices Kennedy and Roberts to do the right thing.
In the clip below, Alex Pettyfer, Betty White, and Cloris Leachman come out for equality.
In the following clip, Toby Maguire presents the GLAAD Media Award to Perks of Being a Wallflower as Outstanding Film--Wide Release.

5th Annual Long Island Air & Space Hall of Fame Luncheon
Honoring the Induction Class of 2013, Jay C. Buckey, F. Trubee Davison and Betty H. Gillies
Tickets $75.00 per person or $700.00 for a table of 10. Proceeds generated from the luncheon support the museum's education and preservation programs. Please call Reservations at 516-572-4066, Monday through Friday from 10:00AM-4:00PM to reserve your seat.
About the Class of 2013
Jay C. Buckey – A graduate of Clarke High School in Westbury, and later Cornell University, Buckey earned a Doctorate in Medicine from Cornell in 1981. An expert in space physiology and cardiovascular regulation, Buckey was a U.S. Air Force Flight Surgeon between 1987 and 1995. A project manager for the experiment "Cardiovascular Adaptation to Zero Gravity" for the Spacelab Life Science 1 mission in 1991, he was then selected to fly as a Payload Specialist for the Space Shuttle STS 90 Neurolab mission in 1998. During this 16 day Spacelab flight he served as both experiment subject and operator for the Life Science experiments focusing on the effects of microgravity on the brain and nervous system. He has since been a Professor of Medicine at Dartmouth Medical School.
F. Trubee Davison – A lifelong resident of Locust Valley, he founded the 'First Yale Unit', the beginning of the Naval Air Reserve while attending Yale University in 1916. They trained on seaplanes at Huntington and Port Washington at their own expense and were commissioned as Lieutenants and Naval aviators in 1917. Injured in a flying accident, he never saw combat, but was awarded the Navy Cross for his services in organizing and overseeing the unit. He later became a lawyer and was on the cover of Time magazine in 1925. He was elected to the New York State Legislature in 1922 and was later appointed Assistant Secretary of the Army to direct aviation between 1926 and 1933. As President of the American Museum of Natural History between 1933 and 1951, he organized its expansion and placed the museum on a sound financial footing. He later served as Assistant Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 1951 – 1952.
Betty H. Gillies – Growing up in Syosset, Gillies began flying at Roosevelt Field in 1928 and became a founding member of the 99s, an organization of women aviators, in 1929. She later served as President of the 99s between 1939 and 1941. She was one of the first women to receive a Transport Pilots license in 1930 and worked for Curtiss selling and demonstrating airplanes through the 1930s. She founded Gillies Aviation in the late 1930s and sold Wacos and Grumman Gooses. Between 1941 and 1942 she was a Test Pilot at Grumman testing new Wildcat and Hellcat fighters. In 1942 she became the first pilot to qualify for the Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron, later known as the WASPs. In 1943 Gillies was the first women to fly the P-47 and later the first to qualify on the B-17. She was Chairman of the All Woman Transcontinental Air Race between 1953 and 1961, and in 1964 was appointed to be on the first FAA Women's Advisory Committee.
About the Long Island Air & Space Hall of Fame
Each year the Long Island Air & Space Hall of Fame will honor those
individuals who have played a major role in advancing aeronautical and technological achievement. Your support of this new exhibit and program will assist the museum in our efforts to educate school children throughout the region on the role that Long Island has played and will continue to play in aerospace history.

The Roanoke Times, Va., Mark Taylor Column
By Mark Taylor, The Roanoke Times, Va.
Jul. 13–LOW MOOR — Just moments after it began a wriggling return to the fishing rod that flung it, the tiny crankbait came to an abrupt stop — in the mouth of a smallmouth bass.
When this happens on the first cast of the day it can mean good things are ahead.
And here on the lower Jackson River this kind of quick action doesn't come as a surprise.
Fisheries biologist Paul Bugas has studied this section of stream for about 10 years, and has found that bass catch rates are among the best in Western Virginia.
The fast fishing is a result of a combination of things, the most important being that the river has a bunch of fish, according to population samplings.
Additionally, pressure is relatively light, so the fish haven't been educated like on the region's more popular smallmouth streams.
Everyone knows dumb fish mean fun fishing, which is why the Jackson ended up as the second stop on the eight-week Summer Smallmouth Tour that just got under way.
The Jackson River would probably get more attention were it not for a couple of factors.
One, while the stream runs cool and clear from Gathright Dam down to Covington, it takes on a brown shade after it passes through the MeadWestvaco plant on its way to meeting the Cowpasture River to form the James River near Iron Gate.
The color comes from natural tannins released by wood processed in the plant, Bugas said.
"Even though it's tea colored, it doesn't appear to affect the stream biology to any large degree," Bugas said.
Water run through the plant is closely monitored to ensure it doesn't violate pollution standards, and there are no fish consumption advisories on the river.
Yet many locals, plenty of whom probably remember the days when the river really was polluted, still often call the section the "dirty water," a derogatory term that hardly enhances the river's recreational appeal.
Another interesting factor is the size of the Jackson's bass.
Despite what Bugas deems "stunning habitat," the fish tend toward the small side. While the river has in recent years had oodles of fish in the 10- to 12-inch range, fish much bigger are rare.
"The bass grow very slowly," Bugas reported. "In 10 years of sampling, the biggest bass I've ever gotten was maybe 14 inches long."
There is nothing wrong with a 10-inch smallmouth, of course. On ultralight tackle, a fish that size can be a hoot.
So despite the dearth of trophy bass the fishery deserves more attention than it gets, and more attention certainly couldn't hurt things in Alleghany County, where outdoors-related tourism could potentially provide some hope for bringing in much-needed dollars to the long-suffering local economy.
The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries has tried to help by improving access to the lower Jackson River. Roanoke Times photographer Sam Dean and I launched a canoe at one of them, at the Island Ford Transfer Station just east of Covington, for a quick float Monday afternoon.
Immediately below the put-in comes a textbook smallmouth pool, one filled with boulders and a modest amount of current.
When that pool produced that first-cast bass and several others, it seemed we could be headed for one of those magical 100-fish days.
But then things got strange. The next two good pools were busts, producing not a strike.
In another prime-looking spot a little farther downstream we found some more willing fish, but by then another pattern had started to emerge: these fish were even smaller than normal.
They were healthy, for sure, with perfect fins, fat bellies and the dark coloration common on smallmouth pulled from darker waters. But none topped 8 inches.
Bugas said the lower Jackson was affected this year by the mysterious fish kills that have plagued the Cowpasture and James.
During a recent electroshocking effort, Bugas said he found that about 30 percent of the bass collected showed some signs of sickness. The number is similar to rates found on the James and Cowpasture rivers.
On the James and Cowpasture, scientists have theorized that the kills have been particularly tough on older fish, perhaps because those fish are under the most stress during the spawning season when the problems seem at their peak.
As we pulled in one 6- to 8-inch bass after another it was hard not to wonder if the Jackson's older bass, those once-abundant 10- to 12-inchers, hadn't been hit hard this spring.
"We'll have a better idea after this fall," said Bugas, who plans to conduct more sampling then.
While the lack of even middle-sized bass was disappointing — we didn't catch a smallmouth over 8 inches long the entire day — it wasn't going to ruin this trip.
It couldn't.
The stream is just too pretty, the action for those small bass just too fast.
And it's hard not to feel encouraged that not long ago the stream was home to not much more than a few bullheads and carp.
The lower Jackson River might not be the destination around which to plan a long fishing vacation, at least not just yet.
But for a fun day trip, it's worth a look, providing you pack your lightest gear.

FCVFD Donating Ambulance to Sandy-Stricken Community — The Falls Church Volunteer Fire Department is donating its reserve ambulance to the community of Island Park, New York, which was hard-hit by Hurricane Sandy. Today, volunteer firefighters will be driving the 2002 Freightliner ambulance up to Island Park, where it will replace an ambulance lost by the Island Park Volunteer Fire Department during the storm.
County Kicks Off Rosslyn Planning Process — Arlington County has begun an effort to create a comprehensive new long-range plan for Rosslyn. Dubbed "Realize Rosslyn," the plan will seek to "transform this 1960s car-centric area to one of our region's great urban centers." Through a civic engagement process, the county will create "an enhanced urban design framework," refine and improve transportation options, recommend a new "building heights strategy" and develop "a more cohesive, functional parks and open space network." [Arlington County]
Officials: No Plan to Sell Reeves Farm — County officials say there's no plan to sell the historic Reeves farm, despite reports on WAMU and in the Arlington Connection newspaper suggesting it might be heading to the auction block. "The board is not interested in selling the farmhouse at this point in time," said County Board Chair Mary Hynes. [Sun Gazette]
Board Updates Special Events Policy — The Arlington County Board on Saturday voted unanimously to update the county's special events and demonstrations policy. The new policy "encourages such events while ensuring that the County recovers its support costs," the county said. [Arlington County]
Dems Planning for the Next Campaign — "The campaign for 2013 begins tomorrow," the chairman of the Arlington County Democratic Committee told local Democrats at the committee's meeting Wednesday night. Next year there will be a gubernatorial election in Virginia and House of Delegates races in Arlington, among other races. Arlington Democrats ran the table on Tuesday, winning every race, with the exception of a state constitutional amendment question. [Sun Gazette]
Bergmann's Discussion Deferred — The Arlington Planning Commission was forced to defer consideration of a proposed 10-story redevelopment of the Bergmann's Dry Cleaning site after Hurricane Sandy delayed the mailing of notices to local residents. The Waverly Hills Civic Association, located about a mile from the development, has expressed opposition to it. [Arlington Mercury]
Tech Tutoring at Library — From iPads to social networks to computer software, the Aurora Hills Branch Library is offering 45-minute one-on-one tech tutoring sessions for residents. Appointments are now being taken for Monday, Dec. 3. [Arlington Public Library]
Although plans for a streetcar line on Columbia Pike are making most of the headlines in Arlington, another county streetcar project is pushing forward with considerably less fanfare.
The Crystal City Streetcar Project would build a new streetcar line to run from the Pentagon City Metro station to Potomac Yard in Alexandria. Unlike the Pike streetcar project, which hopes to win federal funding, the funding for the Crystal City streetcar is more or less in place, and will come from a Crystal City tax increment financing area (TIF).
Arlington County is now planning to hold a public meeting to discuss the project. The forum will be held at the Crystal Park Condominium meeting room at 1805 Crystal Drive, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. next Tuesday, Nov. 13.
"As part of the Crystal City Streetcar Project, Arlington County is studying the environmental effects and developing conceptual engineering for a streetcar line connecting Pentagon City, Crystal City, and Potomac Yard," the county said in a media advisory. "At the community forum, County representatives will introduce the project, describe the ongoing planning efforts, collect comments and answer questions. The public is encouraged to attend and learn about this new phase of transit."
Those with questions or language interpretation requests can email [email protected]
As part of its recommendations for revising the county sign ordinance, the Arlington Planning Commission is recommending a ban on new signs placed higher than 40 feet on building walls, according to the Arlington Mercury.
If the recommendation is ultimately adopted by the County Board, it would effectively ban all new high-rise rooftop signs — popular with developers and businesses, especially in high-density commercial zones like Rosslyn and Crystal City.
Do you agree with the Planning Commission?

Arlington County's vision for Columbia Pike would result in 10,000 new housing units being added to the corridor by 2040.
County planners are currently putting the finishing touches on the Columbia Pike Neighborhoods Area Plan, a sweeping vision for the Pike that seeks to transform the area into a more urban, walkable, transit-oriented community. The plan calls for taller buildings along the Pike — up to 10 stories — and for the replacement of some existing surface parking lots with new infill development (and underground parking). It also calls for streetcar service and stops along the Pike and enhanced local bus service in the neighborhoods around the Pike.
In total, the plan projects that more than 10,000 new market rate and committed affordable housing units will be added to the Pike by 2040. By design, the plan calls for "a wider mix of incomes" in the various areas along the Pike.
"The Plan seeks to balance a range of housing affordability, improved forms of buildings and open spaces, and the preservation of historically significant buildings," according to a draft of the neighborhoods plan. "The result is a comprehensive vision that targets redevelopment along the Columbia Pike frontages and areas further off the Pike in the eastern and western sections."
While the plan calls for the preservation of affordable housing, it would result in the elimination of market rate affordable housing for those making 60 percent of less than Area Median Income (AMI). Under the plan, 60 percent AMI market rate housing would drop from 2,917 units today to zero units by 2040. Market rate housing for 80 percent AMI (those making 60 to 80 percent of AMI) would increase from 3,213 to 4,100. Meanwhile, committed affordable housing would increase from 1,120 to 4,300 for 60 percent AMI, and from 84 to 600 for 80 percent AMI.
Much of the added committed affordable housing would be funded by developers; Arlington County would provide added housing density allowances in exchange for either committed affordable housing within new developments or a contribution to the county's affordable housing investment fund.
The plan specifically calls for more residential development and retail space along Columbia Pike and S. Orme Street in the tiny Foxcroft Heights neighborhood near the eastern end of the Pike. Single-family homes and rowhouses would be maintained along Ode and Oak streets, according to the plan.
The plan also includes a vision for a greener, more aesthetically-pleasing look for the Columbia Pike corridor, along with wider sidewalks and better route options for cyclists.
"New streets and bicycle connections, particularly running east and west, offer more circulation options for neighborhoods and make traveling along the Pike safer and more pleasant," according to the plan. "Wider sidewalks, residential buildings set back from the sidewalk, and more trees will provide a boulevard experience that will be a contrast to the commercial areas."
Arlington County is hoping to accomplish its Neighborhoods Plan vision through the use of zoning tools like Form Based Code and density awards for property owners who develop according to the plan.
The Neighborhoods Plan was developed with resident input via numerous public planning sessions, workshops and discussions. A public hearing on the plan will be held next month.
"Change is underway along the Pike," Arlington County Board Chair Mary Hynes said, in a statement. "Through the hard work and careful planning of a lot of neighborhood leaders, community members and county staff, we're beginning to see a more pedestrian-friendly Pike emerge — a Pike served by great transit, that offers a vibrant mix of retail, residential and commercial development and public spaces that will bring people together."
Hynes continued: "The Neighborhoods Plan helps ensure that, even as the Pike changes, the things that we all love about it — the mix of housing affordable to people of various incomes and all walks of life, the sense of community and of history, the strong neighborhoods — continue to thrive."
A pair of bocce courts may soon be coming to a small strip of green space near Ballston Common Mall.
Arlington County park planners have proposed a set of improvements to a barren, triangular park at the corner of N. Randolph Street and N. Glebe Road, adjacent to the Ballston public parking garage.
The proposal includes two side-by-side bocce courts, benches, a handicap-accessible walkway, bike parking, meadow plantings and a designated food truck/cart area. The cost of the improvements is estimated at $150,000. The park design is described as temporary, and is intended to be "easily… displaced if a long-term use is identified."
Park planners met with community members on Tuesday to discuss the proposal. The final design for the park is expected to be firmed up by early summer, with construction beginning in late summer or early fall.
The forthcoming development on the Bergmann's Cleaning site on Lee Highway — still in the planning stages — may include a MOM's Organic Market, according to an email obtained by ARLnow.com.
The project has been evolving as developer McCaffrey Interests responds to neighborhood input and objections to the project. Whereas just a couple of months ago the project was to include a specialty grocery and 13,500 square feet of other retail, it now includes just the grocery store, with the retail replaced by 15 row houses along N. Veitch and N. Uhle Streets. The change is expected to reduce traffic around the development.
The project still includes a 10-story, 166-unit, LEED Gold-certified, glass-covered apartment building, complete with a fitness center and swimming pool on the penthouse level. The current plan, which will be discussed at a Site Plan Review Committee meeting at 7:00 tonight, also includes 222 spaces of surface and underground parking for residents and grocery store customers.
In an email to its members, the local North Highlands Civic Association said McCaffrey expects that a MOM's Organic Market will move into the grocery store space once the project is completed. The store may also have some sort of cafe component, to make up for the lack of other retail within the development. County staff have previously expressed skepticism about a specialty grocery store at the site, saying the area is already well-served by Trader Joe's and Whole Foods.
MOM's currently has a location in Alexandria and is expected to open a location in Falls Church, but the local chain does not have an Arlington presence yet.
As part of the development, McCaffrey has agreed to several community amenities, including improvements to nearby McCoy Park, a modification to the adjacent Custis Trail, and 8 on-site affordable apartments. McCaffrey Interests is responsible for a number of notable local developments, including Georgetown Centre in D.C. and Market Common Clarendon in Arlington.
The latest conceptual design plan for major improvements to Mosaic Park (544 N. Pollard Street), near Ballston, includes interactive water features, a playground, a multi-use court and a small lawn for play and picnicking.
The plan, from noted design studio Oculus, was revealed at a community meeting last week.
In addition to the water jets and playground equipment, the park will also have green power features — currently slated as an array of solar panels designed to generate the 1.2 kilowatts necessary to power the park while at the same time providing some desirable shade. Additionally, there will be "wooden platform seating" near the water features — similar to the seating along New York City's High Line.
The Shooshan Company, which is behind the nearby and still-under-construction Founders Square development, will be footing the $6.6 million bill for the improvements, per an agreement with the County Board.
County planners say they're not sure when exactly the park will be built, but they're planning on construction beginning at some point in 2013. A second phase of the project, which is expected to include a basketball court and additional green space, has been planned, but depends on the county's ability to obtain land from a private property owner.
Bicyclists hoping for a new way to get from Columbia Pike to Pentagon City without having to navigate the tricky eastern end of the Pike will have to keep waiting. A plan to build a bike and pedestrian path from the Arlington View neighborhood to Army Navy Drive is still on hold until additional engineering plans and project funding can be procured.
In June 2010, the Arlington County Board approved a plan for Army Navy County Club to build a new four-story clubhouse. As part of the approval process, the club agreed to grant the county an easement which would allow a 30-foot-wide emergency access road and bike/pedestrian path to be built from S. Queen Street, near Hoffman-Boston Elementary, to the I-395 underpass that leads from Army Navy Drive to the club.
The primary motivation for the new road, county officials emphasized, is a need for more north-south connections across I-395 for emergency vehicles.
"There are very few places along the 395 corridor in Arlington where we actually have an underpass, or a way to get from one site of the highway to another without going through an interchange," says Arlington County Director of Transportation Dennis Leach. "So it's incredibly valuable…. for emergency response purposes."
As a side benefit, though, Leach said the path will be "a real benefit to the community" in terms of providing better access for cyclists and pedestrians.
Despite the positives, the project hasn't gone very far. First, Leach says, more detailed engineering plans need to be drawn up. Then funding needs to be procured through the county's Capital Improvement Plan and bond referendum process. An early engineering study, conducted in 2010, suggested that the project would require very high retaining walls to compensate for the steep hill the access facility must run along. The cost of such a construction project was expected to exceed $3 million, we're told.
Leach declined to speculate as to when the access road might eventually be built. He also declined to comment about a 2010 lawsuit filed by disgruntled members of Army Navy Country Club who objected to a bike path being built along one of the holes at their golf course.
A call to Army Navy Country Club for comment was not returned. The club's then-general manager, who wrote a letter to the editor in support of the emergency access and bike path in 2010, is no longer employed at the club, according to a woman who answered the phone there.
Earlier this year, Arlington announced plans to create a six-year plan for the growth and utilization of Capital Bikeshare in the county. Now, the public is being asked to weigh in and give suggestions on the plan.
An online forum has been set up for gathering feedback about the plan, which will cover fiscal years 2013-2018. Four scenarios were created and posted on the BikeArlington website as a general guide for expansion. Users are asked to comment about the favorable and unfavorable aspects of each scenario. Designers expect that none of the existing scenarios will be strictly adopted, but rather that elements of each will contribute to the final proposal.
One of the goals of the plan is to project costs and adjust budgets accordingly. All transit agencies in Virginia are required to complete a transit development plan every six years.
Comments can be posted at the online forum until April 13. There will also be a public meeting to address expansion on March 29, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at George Mason University's Arlington Campus (3351 N. Fairfax Dr). The public is encouraged to attend and provide input.
Work is underway to design improvements to the streetscape of Columbia Pike. On Monday, March 26, county staff and consultants will present their partially-completed design to the community.
The Columbia Pike Multimodal Street Improvements project has the goal of transforming the 3.5 mile Pike corridor, running from Fairfax County to S. Joyce Street, into a "complete street — a street designed to be more livable and safer by accommodating all users."
The design seeks to not only make the Pike more accessible to pedestrians, but to get it ready to "support future high-quality, high-frequency transit service" — which may include enhanced bus service or the proposed Columbia Pike streetcar.
The current design, which is 50 percent complete, will be presented from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. on March 26, at the Walter Reed Community Center (2909 16th Street S.). All interested community members are encouraged to attend and provide input.
Among the changes proposed in the initial designs:
- New left-turn lanes for better traffic flow
- New planted medians
- Sidewalk greenery and landscaping
- Improved bus stops
- Undergrounding of overhead utilities
- Wider sidewalks
- New crosswalks
- Eight additional traffic signals
- Bike accommodations and facilities
A development proposal being examined by Arlington's Site Plan Review Committee tonight would build a new apartment tower and a new grocery store on the Bergmann's Cleaning site on Lee Highway.
The proposed buildings would replace the former Bergmann's dry cleaning plant, at the corner of Lee Highway and N. Veitch Street, and five early 20th century houses across the street from the plant. The homes are also owned by Bergmann's.
In place of the plant, Chicago-based McCaffery Interests proposes to build a 26,000 square foot, single-story "specialty grocery store."
In place of the houses, which are located between N. Uhle Street and I-66, the developer is proposing a 10-story, 166-unit, LEED Gold-certified apartment building, complete with a fitness center and swimming pool on the penthouse level. The apartment building would have a mostly-glass façade, with white vertical concrete columns.
Planners have expressed reservations about several aspects of the development plan. County staff oppose the grocery store plan, which would require a partial exemption of the allowed retail density for the site. Arlington County has a policy of making exceptions for grocery stores, which are seen as a net positive for the community, but staff notes that density exemptions have only been granted for full-size grocery stories.
"While [Arlington Economic Development] considers the area around Bergmann's underserved by full-service full size grocers for everyday shopping (stores like Safeway or Giant), they consider this area well-served by specialty grocers (Whole Foods, Trader Joe's)," a planning document says.
Concerns about the height of the apartment building, and the stark transition between the single-story grocery store and the ten-story apartment, have also been raised. Another likely topic of discussion: the fact that all parking for the combined project (226 spaces) will be located in a garage below and on the roof above the grocery store. Apartment tenants will have to walk across N. Uhle Street after parking.
The developer, McCaffrey Interests, is responsible for a number of notable local developments, including Georgetown Centre in D.C. and Market Common Clarendon in Arlington. The company's Washington office is located in Courthouse.
Following tonight's Site Plan Review Committee meeting, the project is expected to be considered by the Arlington Planning Commission and County Board no earlier than June 2012.
The County Board has given the green light for a year-long process that will suggest changes to the existing development plan for the Rosslyn area.
The last time the County approved significant changes to its Rosslyn Sector Plan was 1992. Now, nearly 20 years later, officials say changes are necessary to help with Rosslyn's continued development from a mere "collection of office buildings" to "a more balanced neighborhood, offering residents and visitors shopping, recreation and cultural activities."
The new Rosslyn planning effort will focus on improving transportation options, suggesting changes to Rosslyn's building height regulations and developing "a more cohesive, functional parks and open space network." The process will include numerous community input opportunities, facilitated by a dedicated "civic engagement professional" on the planning team.
The planning process comes at a time of major change for Rosslyn. The expansive cultural center known as Artisphere opened last year, a major overhaul is coming to Gateway Park, and construction is either currently underway or imminent on three new skyscrapers, two large residential complexes, a luxury condo building and a new office building.
The Board voted 4-1 in favor of the new planning effort, which will present its recommendations to the board in 2012. Board member Walter Tejada was the lone 'no' vote. Tejada advocated for a longer, more comprehensive planning process with additional public input.
What's on the mind of local entrepreneurs? A lot, as it turns out.
On Thursday night Arlington County held a small business 'listening session' at Clarendon Ballroom. More than 50 business owners showed up to tell county staff what they like and don't like about how the county treats small businesses.
The event was part of County Board Chair Chris Zimmerman's year-long push to make Arlington more small-business-friendly. Zimmerman gave the opening and closing remarks at the event, but it was county planning and economic development staff who led the group discussions that were the evening's main substance.
Among the things business owners liked about doing business in Arlington were the friendly personal interactions with county employees, the frequent county programs that teach you how to create a business plan, and the relative ease of running a home-based business. As expected, however, complaints far out-numbered compliments.
There was discussion of the advantages larger businesses have over smaller businesses when trying to navigate the county's regulations and talk of loosening regulations preventing small businesses from participating in certain citizen-oriented programs. By and large, however, the discussion focused on three areas: clarity and accessibility of information, taxes and fees, and the county's controversial sign ordinance.
The residential portion of Foxcroft Heights only encompasses three one-block streets, but some big changes may be coming to the tiny South Arlington community.
On Saturday afternoon, county staff and urban planning consultants will meet with residents to discuss some of those possible changes. The meeting is being billed as a "mini-charrette" — a hands-on brainstorming session, of sorts.
"Participants will work in small groups with members of the planning team to draw ideas for the future of the neighborhood," says a flyer distributed to Foxcroft's 400+ residents. "Ideas could include desired enhancements to transportation networks or open spaces, and potential for building revitalization or redevelopment."
Foxcroft Heights is perhaps best known for being the home of the Air Force Memorial. Its residential community is surrounded by Columbia Pike to the south, the Henderson Hall to the North, the Sheraton National Hotel to the west and the Navy Annex to the east. Within its confines are 95 homes, two 16-unit apartment buildings and a small park. Along Columbia Pike are a couple of small businesses including Dama Diner, Ruth's Beauty Shop and an auto repair store, as well as a Virginia Department of Transportation facility and a half-way home.
The neighborhood feels quaint and largely removed from the mega-development and gentrification elsewhere in the county. But inevitably, change is coming.
According to a 2009 planning document that has almost as many pages as Foxcroft Heights has buildings, homeowners have been approached by commercial developers about "various options for the neighborhood."
Meanwhile investors have been quietly buying properties in hopes of a future payday, there's talk of Columbia Pike being "realigned," and streetcars will soon run through the neighborhood.
Another big change that's underway is the closure of the Navy Annex. The building is set to be shuttered and torn down, perhaps by the end of next year. The military is planning on using most of the freed-up land to expand Arlington National Cemetery. About four acres will be given to the county for construction of a Freedman's Village heritage museum.

What a co-op should bePosted on 10 / 26 / 2012
I love this funky little co-op. It reminds me of PCC in Seattle back before PCC became huge. Decent bulk section, baked goods from Blue Heron Bakery, great tahini. Staffed largely by volunteers who get a deal on their groceries as their only payment. My only complaint here is the same one I have for every grocery store...the pollsters and survey takers and electioneers who hang out next to the door and bother people.

ok fine it is a ez course - but as a new player it is great - i love this as a starter course
Well maintained course. Baskets in good shape. Grass tee boxes typically are firm. Great tee signs with diagrams of each hole's layout. Virtually no pedestrian interference. Good use of trees to make the holes interesting. All baskets on small hills to make putting a bit more challenging.
Not the most challenging course. Low lying areas can get soggy after rains, but there are foot bridges to cross the lowest areas.
Other Thoughts:
Only hole #4 offers a significant chance of losing a disc over the barbed wire fence into the cow pasture. The pin placement for #5 can be tough to see for first timers: look far to the left, about ten o'clock from the teebox.
In Summer 2008 the Birdshot guys cleaned and painted the tee signs. Much nicer looking now. They also installed blue brick Alt tee markers.
You will occasionally have to contend with a ball golfer using the area around basket #9 as a driving range.

Fighter jets escort Toronto flight after alleged threat
Published on Jul 26, 2014 2:38 AM
OTTAWA (AFP) - A flight carrying Canadians on vacation to Panama was turned around and escorted back to Toronto by two fighter jets on Friday after an unruly passenger made threats against the aircraft.
Flight 772 carrying 181 passengers and six crew turned around approximately 45 minutes into the flight as it passed over West Virginia, a spokeswoman for the Sunwing airline said.
Captain Jennifer Stadnyk at North American Aerospace Defence Command said two F16 fighter jets were diverted to escort the jetliner back to Toronto, where it landed safely and the passenger was arrested by police.
Video taken by other passengers and circulated online showed officers in body armour and helmets boarding the plane with weapons drawn.

Australian researchers have found that mowing the lawn -- and the scent of fresh-cut grass -- can make you happier. The scent triggers chemicals in the brain and brings relaxation, as well as affects the parts of the brain that control emotion and memory, thereby helping to slow mental decline as we age.

TomTom Runner + MultiSport Cardio is an excellent workout companion
Published on Jun 20, 2014 5:00 AM
I reviewed the TomTom Runner GPS watch a few months ago and found it to be a capable lightweight running watch, albeit an expensive one. Now, TomTom has released the new Runner + MultiSport Cardio watch.
Like the original, the MultiSport Cardio consists of a watch module and a strap. The new module is slightly thicker at 13.8mm and heavier at 63g (with strap) than the original, which was 11.5mm thick and weighed 50g (with strap). The new strap is also longer and wider.
Overall, though, they look similar.
But the new MultiSport Cardio can be used for cycling and swimming, not just running.
The biggest change is on the back. The Cardio has an optical sensor that monitors your blood flow by shining a light through your skin and on your blood vessels. There is no need for a heart-rate monitor chest strap.
You will notice the Cardio's strap has more rubber around the edges, to prevent light leakage and deliver more accurate readings of your heart rate. Consequently, it becomes more difficult to remove the module from the strap.
As in the Runner, everything is controlled by a square four-way button sited just below the watch display. It is this button and the bigger strap that make the Cardio look less like a watch and more like a tech gadget, even from a distance.
To start, install the TomTom MySports Connect program on your computer. Enter details, such as age, weight, height and gender, and sync with the Cardio via the USB connector included. You will also need to input all this information into the watch. Bummer.
You can sync the Cardio's workout data with your iOS devices via Bluetooth. But there is currently no Android app.
The high-contrast display is clear and crisp. It can be read easily even in bright sunlight. At night, tap it to light up the display. I found that I had to tap it a few times in order to get the display to light up.
To pick your workout, hold down the button's right side for Run, Cycle, Swim, Treadmill or StopWatch.
In Run, you can select Race, Goal or Zone. Each represents a different objective. So, for example, in Zone, set the maximum heart rate you want to attain while working out, and the watch will display your ideal and current heart-rate zone during the workout.
The Cardio uses TomTom's QuickGPSFix technology to get a fast GPS location lock for runs and cycling. Its built-in accelerometer can be used for indoor or treadmill runs and swimming.
In a stadium or other open space, the Cardio secured a GPS fix in under 10 seconds. My personal calibrated Nike+ SportWatch GPS (used here for comparison) took about 30 seconds.
There may be slight differences in distances recorded by the two GPS watches. When I ran 2.2km, Cardio recorded it as 2.15km, while the Nike device recorded the distance as 2.27km. By GPS watch standards, this is well within the margin of error.
When I compared Cardio's cycling stats against those of the Cyclemeter app, they differed little in terms of distance and speed. But the Cardio also provided my average heart rate.
The Cardio's heart-rate monitor is quite accurate. Using a treadmill's heart-rate monitor and my iPhone's Heart Rate Pro app as a comparison, the difference was minimal - about two beats per minute.
The downside: The heart-rate monitor will not work in swimming mode. You also need to input the length of the pool in order to have the number of laps recorded. But the readings were spot on in terms of distance swum and number of laps. It also recorded the average number of strokes I did per lap.
Battery life is close to the Runner's - about 10 hours in GPS mode, or 8 hours if GPS and monitor are used simultaneously.
- The TomTom Runner + MultiSport Cardio GPS watch is a great companion if you want a convenient way of keeping tabs on workout stats. But that convenience comes with a hefty price tag.

Glee-Cap: Series Finale '2009/Dreams Come True': Don't Stop Believin, Hold On To That Feeling.
by Robert Lawlor - March 20, 2015
Finales of musicals wrap great stories up in wondrous melody: sometimes in great joy and rapture and sometimes in heartbreaking reality. The finale of Glee will I'm sure be no different, and I wouldn't want it to be anything less than a mix of the joy and the sadness. I never dreamed that I would get the chance to write for BroadwayWorld or any professional website, so when I first got offered the position in season two, I wasn't sure if I would be any good at it. In that moment, I felt kind of circa Season 1 New Directions - an underdog aiming to make something special happen. I can't say for sure how good I've been at this, but I've enjoyed having this place, having this moment and sharing it with however many people have read these ridiculous recaps week to week for five years.

Ohio Supreme Court Justice Judith French arrived in Portsmouth Tuesday only to find out the class she was going to lecture at Shawnee State University had been cancelled. French said she enjoys speaking with high school and college students because those conversations often dispel the mystery that sometimes surround the high court.
"There is nothing I like more than questions and answers," French told the Daily Times.
One of the mysteries that exists when someone hears questioning by Supreme Court justices is why their questions seem to be leaning toward one decision, when they come up with a totally different decision after hearing all of the arguments.
"People who are watching might think that we meet before the arguments," French said. "We don't. I have no idea, going into the arguments, what the other justices think about that case. I've prepared independently. I've had my own law clerks help me prepare. So I have, at least, my tentative position when I walk in. And I have my questions ready to go."
She said, just as a member of the audience might be figuring out where a particular justice is coming from, she is too.
"I'm thinking, wait a minute, if they're asking that question, does that mean they think we ought to affirm this case, or reverse this case, or is their position different from mine?" French said.
French said the way the justices ask questions sometimes reflect their feelings and sometimes they are more of the devil's advocate variety.
"I tend to say, 'counsel, what I'm troubled by is this…' so I'm kind of showing my hand," French said. "Not everybody is like that."
She said there are times when a justice might want to push an attorney even if she is in agreement with them, to get the best possible argument out.
"I love having good arguments, and having good lawyers in front of us," French said. "I tell lawyers all the time, if we're pushing you, then we know that you can do it. There is just nothing more fun for an appellate court than to have that good engagement of question and answer between judge and lawyer."
She said if she feels the lawyer is struggling, she will help them along so they don't feel intimidated by the exchange.
"I try to throw out the lifeline because that's what I would have wanted as an advocate," French said. "They can be a little nervous when they are standing up there and maybe they have a good answer to that question, but they can't remember it at that moment because they're nervous. And if I see that panic-stricken look on their face, there's a lifeline I can throw, because I want every lawyer that comes in front of us to have a good argument."
French was asked if jurors are underrated by TV analysts who want to determine how a jury will rule because of things like gender, age, ethnicity.
"I think so," French said. "Jurors do a terrific job. People who are serving on jury duty do see it as a service. Can there be a rogue juror out there? Of course, but I think people for the most part are going to listen to the judge; listen to the instructions and follow the law."
French said she is looking forward to rescheduling her visit to SSU.

WINDER — City Council members voted Tuesday to approve the purchase of an $18,654 license plate reader system. City leaders have been considering the use of such a system for nearly a year. The system will be put into use immediately, according to Major Jim Fullington of the Winder police department.
Officer Chris Cooper is organizing social media training for parents, a course that will be taught in September on dates to be determined. "With social media playing a bigger part in our children's lives, this training is necessary," Fullington said Tuesday evening.
Solid waste fees to increase
A fee change for solid waste of $1 per cart will go into effect Sept. 1. The fee increase will enhance debris collection and provide other services for waste collection customers.
City to purchase fire/police vehicles
Winder will purchase two Chevrolet Tahoes for the police department for $27,323 each. An additional $13,000 per vehicle will be paid for equipment, bringing the total cost for both vehicles to $80,646.
A Chevrolet Tahoe 4x4 with a public safety package for the fire department will also be purchased. This vehicle will be ordered in the color red, which is an additional cost to the city. The total purchase price of this vehicle will not exceed $32,000.
