How redevelopment wind-down will get messy
Lots of players to pick over the redev carcass
And run the show they do – up to a point. The city prepares a debt and obligation schedule, which is reviewed by an auditor selected by the auditor-controller, as well as an administrative budget. The Oversight Board approves both. The Oversight Board is also charged with disposing of RDA assets. Government buildings get turned over to the appropriate government agency. The proceeds of other asset sales are divided among the taxing agencies proportionally. And they decide whether RDA affordable housing money will go back to the cities or go to the housing authorities instead.
- But the Oversight Committee is not the final word – and this is a really important point in seeing how the state is truly taking control of RDA funds. Both the State Controller and the Department of Finance play an important role in overseeing the Oversight Committees, as follows:
- The "Redevelopment Obligation Repayment Schedule" prepared by every city must be approved not only by the Oversight Committee but also by both the Department of Finance and the State Controller.
- The Department of Finance has the power to overturn any action by any Oversight Committee.
You can see all the different messy situations that could arise:
- Cities could start paying off obligations they see as binding, only to be overturned by somebody else when the repayment schedule is reviewed by the Oversight Committee or by the state, which means the cities would have to get the money back or cover the cost.
*No matter where the cities land on the repayment obligations, the three review entities -- the Oversight Committee, the Department of Finance, and the State Controller -- could get into big fights over which repayments should be made. The State Controller will be more independent of short-term revenue concerns than the other two entities. And if this holds up decisions on who get repaid, this could cause concern about California in the bond market.
- The other taxing entities could start suing the cities on some of the asset transfers they made away from RDAs (this is almost certain to happen).
- Naïve oversight committees could go into "fire sale" mode on former RDA assets, which could have a significant impact on urban property values in the whole state.
- The Oversight Comittees and the Department of Finance could get into protracted, ugly battles – even litigation – over the question of whether and how to dispose of assets.
And in case you're wondering, this whole process starts -- now. Yes, the redevelopment establishment will be back in Sacramento on Tuesday trying to get a new bill passed.
But in the meantime, surely the Department of Finance and the counties – the two big financial losers in redevelopment – will start pushing to create the Oversight Committees immediately, and they're start leaning on county auditor-controllers to start the RDA audits right away.

For the always elegant, traditional holiday table, look no further than this earthenware plate, featuring two sprigs of holly and a matching inscription.
The Portmeirion pattern The Holly and the Ivy was named after the well-known traditional English Christmas carol. Holly and ivy are core English Christmas decorations. The pattern's design is a contemporary arrangement of antique illustrations with a flowing script that gives it a sophisticated, original and versatile look. Holly and Ivy will bring cheer to table settings not only at Christmas but through the winter months.

Devilish Lady keeps rolling at Tampa
In a virtual reprise of her victoriy in a December 26 stakes at Tampa Bay Downs, Cairoli Racing Stable's DEVILISH LADY (Sweetsouthernsaint) romped in Saturday's $73,250 Gasparilla S. The three-year-old filly extended her winning streak to four, and punched her tickets into graded company.
California Nectar tastes sweet success in Santa Ynez
Suarez Racing Inc.'s CALIFORNIA NECTAR (Stormy Atlantic) held off the late run of Zazu (Tapit) to score a neck victory on Saturday in the $150,000 Santa Ynez S. (G2) at Santa Anita Park. With jockey Pat Valenzuela in the saddle, the bay lass set all the pace in the seven-furlong test, drawing off to a 1 1/2-length advantage in the lane before just holding on the line to stop the clock in 1:21 1/5 over the fast dirt.
Bouquet Booth digs in for Silverbulletday win
Right Time Racing LLC's BOUQUET BOOTH (Flower Alley) was the only runner on the stakes undercard of Fair Grounds' Road to the Derby Kickoff Day who ended up justifying the public's faith as favorite when capturing Saturday's $98,000 Silverbulletday S., formerly known as the Tiffany Lass S.
May Day Rose scores in scratch-reduced Santa Ysabel
Trainer Bob Baffert summed up Sunday's $92,000 Santa Ysabel S. (G3) at Santa Anita with one simple remark: "It was a good race for her, a good workout for her."
The Hall of Fame conditioner was of course referring to Kaleem Shah's MAY DAY ROSE (Rockport Harbor), who faced only two rivals in Sunday's test following the scratches of Zazu (Tapit) and Plum Pretty (Medaglia d'Oro). The filly proceeded to turn the race into a procession.
Angelica Zapata wires Cincinnati Trophy
Herman Van Den Broeck's homebred ANGELICA ZAPATA (Sharp Humor) opened her three-year-old season with a convincing victory in Saturday's $50,000 Cincinnati Trophy S. at Turfway Park, parlaying a front-running trip into a 5 1/2-length win.
Awesome Feather sidelined with tendon issue
Unbeaten Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) winner AWESOME FEATHER (Awesome of Course) has a tendon issue that puts in her racing future in jeopardy, Daily Racing Form reports.
Mazucambera scores in Dixie Belle
Plum Lake Racing LLC's MAZUCAMBERA (Milwaukee Brew) went from claim to fame by adjusting her running style in time to get a come-from-behind, three-quarter length victory in Saturday's $50,000 Dixie Belle S., the opening day feature at Oaklawn Park.
Turbulent Descent takes next step in Starlet
An easy winner in her first two career starts, TURBULENT DESCENT (Congrats) will be the one to beat when she lines up against seven rivals in Saturday's $300,000 Hollywood Starlet (G1). The 1 1/16-mile test marks the two-turn debut for the Mike Puype-trained filly, who toyed with maiden special weight rivals before winning the November 21 Moccasin S. under a hand ride. The Florida-bred was heavily favored in both outings, and she'll retain the services of David Flores for this one.
Turbulent Descent wins Moccasin in a canter
The Mike Puype-trained TURBULENT DESCENT (Congrats) scored a cheeky win in Sunday's $100,000 Moccasin S. at Hollywood Park, remaining unbeaten from two starts and confirming her status as an up-and-coming juvenile filly.
After chasing the pace three wide, the 3-5 favorite smoothly took command entering the stretch and repelled Zazu (Tapit) under super-confident handling by David Flores. Turbulent Descent coasted home by 1 1/2 lengths, unextended, while touring seven furlongs in 1:23 on the Cushion Track.
Neversaidiwassweet just gets there in Miesque
Red Oak Stable's NEVERSAIDIWASSWEET (Eurosilver) hit her best stride yards from the wire of Sunday's $100,000 Miesque S. (G3) at Hollywood Park, just getting up to nip Holiday for Kitten (Kitten's Joy) by a half-length for the victory. Breaking her maiden last out under the tutelage of Kristin Mulhall, the dark bay lass was saddled this time by new trainer Jerry Hollendorfer and, with Rafael Bejarano aboard, stopped the clock for the mile firm-turf test in 1:35 4/5.

Well, in the Metroplex, there are buses and trains. However, the trains are exceptionally limited (two lines, right now) and the area is very spread out.
Also, each city has its own public transportation system, and they are not interconnected. Some lines cross over, but it's damn near impossible to get from one place to another. And if you're too far from the 'big' cities, there's no service at all.
It's been awhile since I checked, but I think my 12 mile trip to work would take about 45 minutes by public transportation, and I'd still have to drive to the station.

Finishing our celebration of five years of covering Florida politics and business from a conservative perspective, Sunshine State News wants to mention the political figures who fell just short of our top 20 list of the state's movers and shakers.
Very few politicians experienced the roller coaster ride that former Florida Senate President Mike Haridopolos had over the last five years as he experienced more than his share of both triumphs and reversals.
And they're off and running for 2016. Former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla., has his eyes on New Hampshire, home of the first presidential primary. Manchester, N.H., Mayor Ted Gastas told the media this week that Bush contacted him about an upcoming trip to the Granite State in the weeks to come.
I watched today as the Florida State University board of trustees took testimony from interested faculty and students on who should be selected as the next president of the university.
Recently some FSU professors bought a full-page ad in the Tallahassee Democrat and another professor wrote an op-ed to slam Sen. John Thrasher for many perceived mistakes in the hope that he won't become FSU's next president.

text: PRESTONSBURG — "The floodwaters (of 1957) receded and we found Gilva," said First Commonwealth Bank President/CEO Greg Wilson, as he described the beginning of Gilva Horn's career at a celebration held Friday in honor of her 50th year as an employee.Horn has become somewhat of a fixture within the bank, serving the citizens of Floyd County since Feb. 2, 1957. She was hired on Feb. 1 of that year, at which time First Commonwealth was known as First National Bank and was under eight feet of floodwater. With those murky darkened waters came an individual who has made her mark in the business of banking, working her way up the ladder to her current position as assistant vice president.During her 50 years of service, Horn has served under four bank presidents and moved along with the times as banking became computerized and changed the business forever. "Throughout all of the change at First Commonwealth Bank throughout the years, Gilva has remained a constant," said Wilson.Horn's supervisor, Phillip Elliott spoke a few words during the presentation, saying that he did not see himself as Horn's supervisor because she always knew what she was doing and what needed to be done next."I think everyone who works here knows that she doesn't need a supervisor," Elliott said.Bank Chairman Burl Wells Spurlock was also on hand to give his thanks to Horn."Gilva has gone from the horse and buggy days to the days of space flight," Spurlock said as he described her career.Friday's celebration included a slideshow of photographs of Horn throughout the years and a reception with friends and family afterwards in her honor."I appreciate everyone coming very, very much," Horn said as she fought back tears of joy.

The solution features the intuitive online shopping platform inherent in the SciQuest suite and is also offered in a pre-configured package that allows customers to quickly and easily integrate HigherMarkets Express with existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. With HigherMarkets Express, UCM will gain unprecedented, real-time visibility into spending on goods and services.
"Now more than ever, it's absolutely crucial that colleges and universities put the systems in place needed to gain visibility over spending on goods and services, aggregate their buying power and put strategic sourcing agreements in place," said Dr.
Dr. Roberts, who served in lead procurement roles at Penn State and the University of Missouri prior to joining UCM, notes that mid-sized schools face the same economic challenges and opportunities as their larger counterparts, but often lack the resources required to change existing processes or systems. Nationally, less than five percent of all colleges and universities have the technologies in place needed to gain visibility over spending by faculty and staff. And among mid-sized schools, the percentage is even less.
"When brought under management, spending on goods and services can be decreased by five to 20 percent without sacrificing quantity or quality–a point of singular importance because these savings can be gained without impacting people or programs," said
HigherMarkets Express automates time-consuming tasks, such as approvals and the creation of purchase orders that usually require significant paperwork. The resulting purchasing process for UCM will be transparent and interwoven with the University's ERP system–providing procurement and financial leaders with the complete picture they need to optimize the value of every dollar. An on-demand solution, HigherMarkets Express is also designed for an exceptionally fast implementation that requires limited IT resources.
The new system will also offer convenience for users. UCM's faculty and staff will be able to buy the goods and services they need in an online shopping environment similar to those found on popular e-commerce sites. Through the eprocurement platform, users will be able to browse extensive electronic catalogs or "punch-out" to suppliers' Web sites, all while utilizing contracted rates.
"UCM is proof positive that you don't need to be a large institution to benefit from the savings and efficiencies that a strategic approach to procurement is proven to deliver," said
All buyers within the faculty and staff serving UCM's 11,000 graduate and undergraduate students will utilize the new system. For more information on UCM, visit UCMO.edu. Procurement professionals can also attend a complimentary Webinar on HigherMarkets Express by visiting http://www.sciQuest.com/resource-center/webinars/.

Then there's the land. MTA spokes-man Tom Kelly has twice told reporters that the MTA board had granted Ratner an option to build on the LIRR site. When pressed by Richard Brodsky, chair of the state assembly's committee on public authorities, Kelly protested that he'd been misquoted. Development experts say air rights for a 21-acre project like Ratner's could easily be worth half a billion dollars or more to the cash-strapped agency.
Ultimately, the decision will rest largely with people who seldom set foot in Brooklyn: George Patakia Columbia Law School classmate of Ratner'sand the MTA board, which, as city residents have become all too aware, is beyond the reach of local lawmakers. But first, it's up to another noted New York George to determine whether Bruce Ratner beats out fellow billionaires Charles Wang and Jon Corzine to become the next owner of the Nets. Will Steinbrenner balk at delivering the Nets to a man who'd compete for city dollars with his dormant dreams of a new Yankee Stadium? Will he succumb to the lure of a big payday from a Ratner bid, juiced by the promise of public arena funds? For answers to these questions and more, stay tuned to a sports section near you.

stringing Wilson 99s with a Klippermate
Has anyone with a wilson 99s strung the racket themselves with a klippermate stringer? How difficult is it to do with the floating clamps, given the extremely open pattern?
thanks in advance,
Dunno about the klippermate but on my gamma electronic it was a pain in the *** the first time. Didn't realize till after I mounted it and string the mains that the crosses are in very odd places right next to main holes. Made stringing and clamping the crosses a pain because where 4 of the 6 point frame clamps sat. Next time I did it I moved the frame clamps towards the hoop and throat and it made it much easier. Never had to do that before on a frame smaller than 100 sq in.
I string my six one 95 16x18 with klippermate, only the top and bottom two is annoying, because the of the big gap.Its really not difficult, if you cant clamp it on the last or second main, then clamp the third or fourth main, when you pull the next cross, it would also pull the end of the previous cross that you didnt tension.
I have yet to string one. But with flying clamps, i would assume that you would have to stretch the strings closer to eachother when clamping.
Also to OP, post this in the stringing section, there are tons of highly experienced stringers out there that would be able to help you out.
thanks for the replies, and good idea, i will post this in the stringing section. i thought i had already done that but i put it in the strings section instead.
Yep. Most likely going to be L4L and Irvin dropping by and helping you out. Good luck.

WILKES-BARRE — Off-duty Wilkes-Barre police officers can make extra cash moonlighting as security guards at athletic events, fast-food restaurants and a housing project.
The police department's Special Detail program places trained officers at public events or businesses at no cost to the city, said city administrative coordinator and spokesman Drew McLaughlin.
The issue of officers moonlighting as security guards at events surfaced this week as Kingston officials said they are conducting an internal review of officers providing security at events without approval. The municipality's police chief has taken a paid leave of absence.
In Wilkes-Barre, off-duty officers who work special detail events are paid directly by the vendor who hires them for security, McLaughlin said, with the officer personally responsible to claim the extra income when they file taxes.
"They are basically private contractors," McLaughlin said. "Their pay does not affect their pension or is counted as city time. They are supplemental officers working a private detail and are not part of a patrol platoon working that day or night."
McLaughlin said there are several recurring special details, such as R/C Movies 14 and McDonald's, both on East Northampton Street, and Wilkes-Barre Area school athletic events.
"Every detail that is offered needs to be approved by the chief of police," McLaughlin said. "Several special details are recurring details and pre-authorized."
Off-duty officers working a special detail have the same arrest authority they would if they were on duty.
McLaughlin said off-duty officers working details pay the city a fee to cover the use of cruisers as well as insurance coverage.
Across the Susquehanna River in Kingston, Mayor James Haggerty has said a review is needed after he found several discrepancies with requests for officers to work security jobs that may not have been authorized by police higher-ups. Kingston police Chief Keith Keiper voluntarily was placed on paid administrative leave while the review takes place, Haggerty said.
In Hanover Township, police Chief Al Walker said the practice of special detail in his department is "frowned upon."
"Our policy indicates that any special detail, secondary employment that is police-related, has to come with an authorization by the police chief," Walker said. "We don't normally do details. They are very far and few in between."
Security at Hanover Area football and basketball games is provided by state constables.
McLaughlin said officers who volunteer for special detail jobs are assigned by seniority.

Beat the Spurs (Again)
The last time the Miami Heat faced off against the San Antonio Spurs, they ended up drenched in champagne and passing the Larry O'Brien trophy around the home locker room in the belly of the American Airlines Arena (701 Biscayne Blvd., Miami). This time, it's only the preseason, and appearances by the team's three superstars — LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh — are likely to be brief. Michael Beasley and Greg Oden probably won't even make appearances, which means lots of playing time for Roger Mason Jr. and Joel Anthony.
But who cares? Spurs coach Gregg Popovich and all-time-great forward Tim Duncan said last year's finals mentally broke them so badly they didn't think about basketball for the whole off-season. So it's time for fans to boo and jeer them into the fetal position in the corner of the hardwood — you know, where they belong.
This Saturday, drive the Spurs crazy and watch the defending champions fill out their roster. There are only two more games till the season officially begins, and tickets won't be quite so easy to get.

A day after the protests against the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KKNPP) took a violent turn, there was drama on Tuesday when the agitation's coordinator, S.P. Udayakumar, was taken away by a group of men just as he was explaining his decision to surrender to the police. In a late night twist, anti-corruption activist Arvind Kejriwal turned up at the protest venue and declared that Dr. Udayakumar should not surrender.
"He should continue with his struggle against nuclear power," said Mr. Kejriwal, who met Dr. Udayakumar, coordinator of the People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy, and returned to address protesters at Idinthakarai.
Earlier, Dr. Udayakumar was taken away in a boat in the middle of a speech in the course of which he broke down amidst appeals by his supporters that he should not surrender. His much-expected surrender did not materialise till midnight.
Meanwhile, officials said the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) finished yet another inspection and preparations for loading enriched uranium in the first of the two reactors were over.
As fuel-loading is expected to begin 48 hours after a final inspection, the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited brass, including its Chairman and Managing Director K.C. Purohit, are camping here to monitor exercises that would subsequently mark the criticality of the first reactor.
Though the AERB gave its mandatory approval for fuel-loading, the KKNPP invited it to do one more inspection. Subsequently, an AERB team was dispatched.

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) - It's not uncommon for teens to stay up late -- finishing school assignments, talking or emailing with friends, being involved in social activities, or working a job.
A study published in Preventive Medicine reveals that more than two-thirds of U.S. teens report they're getting less than eight hours sleep on school nights, and researchers say that lack of sufficient sleep is associated with risky behaviors such as smoking, drinking alcohol, being sexually active, using marijuana, lower physical activity, and feeling sad or helpless.
"Insufficient sleep on school nights is common and is associated with participation in health risk behaviors including substance use, fighting, and consideration of suicide," according to lead author Lela R. McKnight-Eily of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who explained that while previous research revealed the large sleep deficit experienced by many teens, this is the first research to associate sleep behaviors among teens with health risk behaviors.
The authors analyzed data from the 2007 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, which gathered information from U.S. teens in grades 9-12 from all states and the District of Columbia. The survey is administered in both public and private schools every two years. This study included data from over 12,000 teen respondents who, for the first time, were asked questions about their sleep habits and duration.
Insufficient sleep was defined as less than eight hours of sleep. Students were asked "on an average school night, how many hours of sleep do you get?" Responses were divided into eight or more hours per night (sufficient sleep) or less than eight hours of sleep (insufficient sleep).
The researchers compared answers about sleep with answers about 11 health risk behaviors including drinking sodas with sugar, time spent exercising per week, TV watching time and non-school related computer use, cigarette, alcohol, and marijuana use, being currently sexually active, feeling sad or hopeless, fighting, and whether they had considered suicide during the past year.
Less than eight hours of sleep was associated with 10 out of 11 health risk behaviors. TV watching was the health risk behavior that didn't have an association with insufficient sleep, although boys with insufficient sleep were more likely to watch more than three hours of TV. The same didn't apply to females.
Two of the health risk behaviors varied by race and ethnicity: Among Hispanic and white students who reported insufficient sleep, their odds were higher for feeling sad or hopeless. The same association wasn't seen among black teens. Black and Hispanic teens who reported insufficient sleep also had an associated lack of physical activity of at least 60 minutes on five of the previous seven days. The same association was not found with white students.
CNNHealth sleep expert Dr. Lisa Shives said the findings of the study add to body of knowledge of how sleep deprivation affects us. "Most people know that if they're sleep deprived, they can't make good decisions," Shives said. "Chronic, partial sleep deprivation affects our ability to think straight, make good decisions, and impacts our behavior." For teens, who require nine to nine and a half hours of sleep per night, having fewer than eight hours sleep can have a large impact on how they function, she added.
"Even though it's hard, parents can try to set consistent bed times for their teens," McKnight-Ely suggested, in an effort to encourage teens to put in more sleep time. She also suggests that parents consult a health professional if they feel that insufficient sleep is affecting their teen's behavior.

Logitech Announces New G710+ Gaming Keyboard

Posted on October 11, 2012 AT 06:30pm
Lock & Key
Logitech have announced a new gaming keyboard, the G710+, which will be available this month.
The G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is significant both to gamers and their roommates because it's not only backlit with adjustable LED lights, and has programmable keys, but because it has non-clicking key switches and a built-in dampening rig.
In other words, it doesn't click when you type on it, which means you play W.O.W. or Call Of Duty or whatever PC game you want late into the night without keeping your boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband, kids, or pets awake.
You can thank Logitech by buying the keyboard for $149.99.

Hammers in 'keeper link
Filed: Wednesday, 7th July 2010
By: Staff Writer
West Ham being linked with a move for Dutch goalkeeper Piet Velthuizen.
The 23-year-old once-capped international currently plays for Eredivisie outfit VItesse and was linked with a move to Arsenal last season. But according to reports emerging from Holland this morning, the highly-rated goalkeeper is set for talks with West Ham over a possible permanent switch.
A story on Dutch website Voetbal Centraal insists that Velthuizen - who is out of contract next summer - is 'close to a move to West Ham United' and will almost certainly leave his club this summer due to their perilous financial situation.
The player made his first team debut for VItesse on the final day of 2006 and became a first team regular the following season, during which he signed his current four-year deal. In September 2009, following appearances at the 2008 Olympics and both under-21 and 'B' level he made his debut appearance for the national squad as a second half substitute in a 3-0 friendly win over Japan.
Described in 2008 as 'one of the most promising 'keepers in Europe' by Sky Sports, Velthuizen was being being linked with clubs such as Feyenoord and Arsenal, who were at that stage seeking a replacement for Jens Lehman. However he failed to make the Dutch national squad for the current World Cup Finals, with Maarten Stekelenburg (Ajax), Michel Vorm (Utrecht) and Sander Boschker (Twente) preferred ahead of him.
* West Ham are also being linked with a move for Everton youngster Dan Gosling, who is being allowed to leave the club following an unresolved contract wrangle.
21-year-Gosling was told last week that he would be allowed to leave Goodison Park on a free transfer following a Premier League ruling. So far Newcastle and Sunderland have already expressed an interest.
Two deals mentioned in recent days have however been dismissed as pure speculation - those involving Ghana star Asamoah Gyan and former Arsenal and Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant.

We didn't just pick these artists for fun–they all use their music to help keep the environment "clean." Sheryl Crow's latest album was released in recycled paperboard packages with a seed-paper inset you could plant to grow wildflowers. Radiohead (among others) request that fans carpool to concerts to decrease the carbon footprint of music tours, and Reverb (founded by Adam Gardner of Guster) provides green touring services to bands. KT Tunstall also runs her bus on a biodiesel blend, and Perry Farrell (formerly of Jane's Addiction and the founder of summer festival Lollapalooza) ran his entire 2003 festival on the alterna-fuel. Jack Johnson records in a solar-power studio, his Brushfire label releases CDs on recycle paper packaging. Jared Leto's band headed to the Arctic Circle to film the video for "A Beautiful Lie", helping to raise awareness on global warming, and the members of Dave Matthews Band hand out free bikes in their hometown to cut down on nasty car emissions.

area 'Vision' takes shape
Record number giving views on what 'Greater San Diego' must do to improve quality of life
It is that survey that is ending Tuesday, although about 20 middle schools and high schools, mostly in the San Diego Unified School District, have until Feb. 10 to add their voices.
"We will take a snapshot of the data so we can begin to create the vision," Pfeiler said.
Starting this week, a second scientific survey will be conducted of about 1,200 residents. Those results will be merged with the public survey to produce a data set that will be shared with the public at the end of February.
Then public comments on the results plus those of the task forces will be collected before foundation consultants, local foundation officials and others sit down to write a document by June outlining what the vision of San Diego's future looks like.
Implementation of the vision will be turned over to the Malin Burnham Center for Civic Engagement, which is expected to commission research, hold forums and take other steps to translate the public's preferences into policy and action.
Burnham, a retired real estate executive and civic leader on many fronts, donated $5 million to get the center going.
"The information starts at the 30,000-foot level, filters down to the street, strengthens our ability to make good decisions, and filters back up to the region, so that we end up with a better cumulative quality of life," Pfeiler said.

Nice little holder
posted 6 years ago
I love buying my bunny accessorites so I was able to find a use for this, but if you're looking for something you can stick all the veggies your bunny needs then this isn't it. The design is different so it makes things more interesting for the bunny though.
Pros: keeps some chews and food off the floor
Cons: a little on the small side

Plants and poets with big noses
Hannah had a co-op this morning and Noah was going too, so she picked out a pretty dress to wear. The co-op was on plant propagation, asexual reproduction, genes and cells.
Hannah planted: strawberry, garlic, potato, carrot and aloe vera. They talked about how these plants will produce baby plants that only have one parent. So hopefully the genes and cells from these plants will produce healthy offspring.
We've done potatoes and carrots before from cut stems and eyes, but seeing the garlic, aloe and strawberries take root and grow leaves will be neat. Here's a site that talks about different ways to get plants to grow.
We weren't home long before we were off again, this time to go see Buntport's traveling show: Ode to an Ode.
There is the poetry loving, swooning female of the play – Roxanne. Poor Cyrano, all he wants is to tell Roxy how much he loves her, but alas! He thinks his nose will impede their love. In walks Chris, he's a bumbling guy who writes key chain sayings for a living.
He finds a note and reads it to Roxanne who believes she has found her secret admirer.
Cyrano agrees to help Chris woo Roxanne and shows him poems from the Longfellow to Shakespeare. Here they are reciting The Wreck of the Hesperus, with dramatic pop-up book action!
Cyrano reminds everyone that the pen(cil) is mightier than the sword.
Buntport makes their own costumes and sets, this set was cool.
It's a bookcase in back and in the front some of the books come out during the show.
They did a great job, as usual. Mitch (Chris) told us that Jessica (Trixie from TRUNKS) would NOT be playing the part of Cinderella at the show next week. She's having surgery, so the part went to……well, we know, but you'll have to come to the show 11/19 at 1 or 3 pm and find out for yourself. Go here to make reservations.
Went home, got Joel, went to CAP, the girls did some schoolwork at Burger King and we'll be heading home in a bit.

Necessary provision has to be made in building plan
Every multi-storeyed building and public building in urban areas of Tamil Nadu should provide special facilities for the differently abled.
Among the facilities to be created are sufficient number of toilets for the use of the differently abled depending upon plinth area and units, preferably on the ground floor; ramps; lifts of sufficient size to accommodate wheel chairs and 90-cm-high hand rails with additional hand rails at a height of 75 cm above the finished level of steps for stair cases. Ten per cent of the entire car parking section has to be reserved for them, subject to a minimum of two slots for car parking near the entrance of the buildings. These conditions are part of an order of the Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department, notifying rules regarding the facilities. They came into effect on February 1.
The rules state that while presenting an application to the urban local body concerned for the construction or re-construction of a multi-storeyed building or a public building, necessary provision has to be made in the building plan. In respect of the existing such buildings, a time limit of 180 days (six months) has been prescribed to owners or occupiers of the buildings to establish the facilities. This means that by July 31, the owners or occupiers of the existing buildings should have the facilities in their premises.
The urban local bodies have the powers to ensure that the stipulations have been complied with.
The rules have broadly defined multi-storeyed and public buildings as those having more than two floors where the public have access for any purpose. Fifteen categories have been mentioned as the multi-storeyed and public buildings. They include schools or colleges or universities; hospitals, nursing homes or dispensaries; boarding and lodging houses; choultry or marriage hall; bus stations/terminals; cinema theatre, amusement parks, swimming pools or recreation centres; banks or ATM counters or insurance companies; shopping malls; industrial units carrying the activities of production, manufacturing and institutions of information technology services or radio broadcasting services or television stations. Offices of Central and State governments have also been included.

A little more than 5 miles from Safestay Hostel is an interesting attraction for any history buff. It is Cutty Sark a British clipper ship built in 1869. By car you can be there in less than 30 minutes. If you wish to use public transport the total trip will be less than 45 minutes. Walk to Elephant and Castle and take the Northern Line Subway towards Barnet. You will disembark at the London Bridge stop. It will be a short walk to Bank. At Bank take the DLR (light rail) towards Lewisham. It will take 19 minutes with 10 stops. From there it is a 2 minute walk to Cutty Sark.
Cutty Sark was one of the last and fastest tea clippers built right before the end of the sailing ship era that would be replaced by the steam engine. When the ship no longer carried tea it began to transport wool from Australia. For 10 years it held a record as the fastest ship to Britain from the Far East.
As more and more transport of commodities was taken over by steamships Cutty Sark was sold to the Portuguese in 1895 and renamed the Ferreira. The clipper would continue as a cargo ship until it was purchased by a retired sea captain in 1922. The new owner Mr. Wilfred Dowman used the clipper as a training ship in Cornwall. In 1938 it became a cadet training ship. In 1954 it was transferred to permanent dry dock in Greenwich for public display.
Cutty Sark is only 1 of 3 ships in London that are part of the Core Collection of the National Historic Ships Register. Unfortunately, Cutty Sark was badly damaged by fire in 2007 while undergoing a major conservation effort. The clipper has been recently restored and went on public display again beginning in 2012. The ship was named after a witch named Nannie Dee in Robert Burns 1791 poem Tam o' Shanter.
This attraction is open 7 days a week only closing around the Christmas holidays. Hours of operation are from 10:00 to 17:00 ( 5:00 P.M.). The last admission is at 16:00. If you need more information the phone number is +44 (0) 20 8312 6608.
The ship is part of the National Maritime Museum Complex so a combination ticket is recommended if you are planning on visiting others parts of the family of attractions. A single adult ticket to Cutty Sark alone is 12 British pounds. Reduced prices are available for families, seniors and children. On Mondays for no extra charge a talk relating to the history of the ship is provided.
On board is the Keel Cafe which has a nice offering of desserts and beverages of your choice. Their signature sweet is a chocolate fudge cake. Deli items and hot meals are also prepared on site. There is also a gift shop for those who are interested.

Massive cyber-spying hurts America's relations with allies: Editorial
Just because the NSA, CSEC and allied spy agencies have the ability to conduct vast snooping operations shouldn't give them the licence to do so.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
National Security Agency spies no doubt had a few chuckles as they listened in on 35 world leaders as they discussed everything from Europe's economic woes to their affaires de coeur and grocery lists. But the American spying yielded "little reportable intelligence," according to one memo made public by NSA leaker Edward Snowden, and it carried a high cost.
Washington's addiction to wholesale, unwarranted cyber-snooping has left President Barack Obama working the phone lines to placate political leaders in Europe, Brazil and Mexico as friends, allies and trade partners cry betrayal and ponder retaliation. The latest outraged parties include German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President François Hollande, who are calling for a "no spying" pact to remedy this breakdown in trust.
This comes at a time when Obama is struggling to reassure Americans alarmed by the NSA's grotesquely excessive domestic surveillance.
For the sake of "intel" of marginal value, the U.S. government is damaging its image and buying itself a passel of trouble.
The furor affects Canada's interests because it draws attention to, and criticism of, the "Five Eyes" information-sharing pact that links the U.S., Canada, Britain, Australia and New Zealand.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government has been embarrassed by the revelation that the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC), our modest answer to the NSA, regarded Brazil's mines and energy ministry as a target. The Brazilians, with whom we share billions in investment and trade, were annoyed. Now our European allies may well wonder what we're up to.
This speaks to the need for Obama — and Harper as well—to sharply rein in the snoopers. Just because the NSA, CSEC and allied agencies have the ability to intrude on a vast scale shouldn't give them the licence to do so. They need to be kept on a short leash.
As the Washington Post put it in an editorial this past week, "better political controls are needed, along with an injection of common sense." That's a point Conservative Sen. Hugh Segal has rightly been making here, too, with his timely call to give Members of Parliament more power to scrutinize the security services' operations.
The White House may be tempted to shrug off protests by Merkel, Hollande and others as pro forma gestures to placate domestic constituencies. The U.S. also argues that it must look to its own security, and that everyone spies. But that misreads the concern that is building over the sheer scope of American spying.
At a personal level Obama risks alienating leaders on whom the U.S. relies for support at the United Nations Security Council in confronting Iran's nuclear aspirations and other threats. Those leaders also open doors for American trade. And they help the U.S. forge coalitions of the willing at times of crisis, such as the Balkans wars or Afghanistan. Even a U.S. president needs friends in high places. Obama can't manage the world alone.
The U.S. also risks souring public opinion in countries such as France, where the NSA was said to have hoovered up data on 70 million phone calls in a single month. That feeds the anti-Americanism that is so damaging to U.S. interests.
In addition, Washington invites active pushback by way of trade retaliation, less security co-operation and tit-for-tat espionage. And there's now a push in Europe to hinder U.S. intelligence-gathering by requiring service providers to delete a user's personal data on request, and by blocking providers from giving data on citizens to other countries.
There's no denying that the U.S. and its allies have an interest in maintaining robust security agencies as a bulwark against military threats, terrorism and transnational crime. But America's obsession with security since the 9/11 attacks and its abusive espionage overreach are unhealthy. When friends become targets, Washington isolates itself. That's not good for America, or the world.

New El Nino Information Emerges
Scientists are now saying that El Nino may have two personalities.
They've known for a long time that the warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean affects weather around the world. However, researchers now say it may come in two forms with different impacts.
A new study suggests that El Niño may be causing not only a greater number of hurricanes than in average years, but also a greater chance of hurricanes making landfall.
Climatologists at the Georgia Institute of Technology published the study that appears in the July 3, 2009 edition of the journal Science.
"Normally, El Niño results in diminished hurricanes in the Atlantic, but this new type is resulting in a greater number of hurricanes with greater frequency and more potential to make landfall," said Peter Webster, professor at Georgia Tech's School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.
Researchers say the traditional El Nino tends to reduce the number of Atlantic hurricanes.
But a form the Georgia Tech scientists call El Nino Modoki can lead to more hurricanes than usual in the Atlantic Ocean.
Modoki, from Japanese, refers to something that is "similar but different."
The traditional El Nino involves a periodic warming of the water in the eastern part of the tropical Pacific. Peruvian fishermen named it after the baby Jesus because it tended to first appear around Christmastime.
Compare that to El Nino Modoki, where the warming occurs farther to the west, in the central Pacific.
It's not clear why this new form is occurring, said Webster, who co-authored the report.
"It may be responding to some (climate) oscillation or it may be in response to global warming," Webster said.
Atmospheric scientists can better forecast weather, including the number of Atlantic hurricanes thanks to a better understanding of El Nino and its cold-water counterpart La Nina.
Study co-author Judith A. Curry said she feels that "there is about a 50 percent chance that we could have one of the Modoki years emerging by late summer."
"We'll have to see how it plays out, but we could be seeing increased (hurricane) activity," Curry, chair of atmospheric sciences at Georgia Tech, said in a telephone interview.
Greg J. Holland of the National Center for Atmospheric Research likes the finding, saying the study "has important consequences for the predictability of global weather patterns."
Hurricane prediction could be improved by breaking El Nino into two modes, eastern Pacific warming and central Pacific warming.
The National Weather Service predicts nine to 14 named tropical storms this year, of which four to seven are likely to be hurricanes.
Those future storms have a major impact on the United States. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke has pointed out that "more than 35 million Americans live in regions most threatened by Atlantic hurricanes."
