(Updated at 4:00 p.m.) Some of Arlington's most ambitious teenagers will go before a panel of judges, "Shark Tank"-style, to present business ideas they have cultivated for weeks.
The event is called the Young Entrepreneurs Academy Investor Panel, is May 7 at Marymount University's Reinsch Library (2807 N. Glebe Road), from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. It's hosted by the Arlington Chamber of Commerce, which has taken a dozen students from ages 12 to 18 from Arlington schools and taught them the fundamentals of starting a business, every Wednesday evening since Jan. 7.
"It's important for them to see how the process of starting a business works," Chamber Communications Manager Meredith Smith said. Each business group will go through the process of applying for business licenses. "It's been really good seeing these kids develop their businesses."
The 12 students have split into seven different businesses, and each startup will have six minutes to present to a panel of eight members of the Arlington business community, including from Vornado, Graham Holdings Company and the Ballston BID. Those judges will ask questions, debate and "invest," just like on the ABC reality show "Shark Tank."
Among the businesses the kids have come up with are custom-denim shorts, mobile apps and an e-commerce marketplace for "local streetwear/lifestyle brands," according to the Chamber. They have been instructed by Charlie Sibbald, an entrepreneur and adjunct business professory at MU.
"[The academy] helps the Chamber build the next generation of business leaders by introducing young people early to entrepreneurship and its rewards and challenges," Chamber President and CEO Kate Roche said in an email. "The program also provides a significant number of meaningful ways for our members to engage with the students. Business leaders are instrumental to the curriculum and the program, serving as mentors, guest speakers, graphic designers, and business plan reviewers."
Tickets for the event are $10, and it is open to the public. The winning team will be entered into a national scholarship competition and could present its idea to the Americas Small Business Summit in D.C. this June.
(Updated at 6:15 p.m.) One of the world's biggest companies is looking for a new corporate headquarters, and Arlington wants to be in the running.
Marriott International occupies 900,000 square feet of office space in Bethesda, but CEO Arne Sorenson told the Washington Post last month that the hotel chain with more than $12 billion in annual revenue "will be moving." Sorenson said he still wants the company to stay in the D.C. region, and made more comments sure to make Arlington real estate owners' ears perk up.
"I think it's essential we be accessible to Metro and that limits the options," Sorenson told the Post's Jonathan O'Connell. "I think as with many other things our younger folks are more inclined to be Metro-accessible and more urban."
Sorenson also said Marriott has engaged with "local leaders," but the company won't move for several years; its lease in Bethesda expires in 2022.
A giant tenant like Marriott doesn't come to market very often, and it would be a huge get for Arlington Economic Development, which is still reeling from the impending loss of some large tenants like the National Science Foundation. If the hotel chain moves its headquarters to Arlington, it could occupy almost triple the combined space of recently touted deals for Accenture (90,000 square feet in Ballston), CNA (175,000 square feet in Clarendon) and Graham Holdings (35,000 square feet in Rosslyn).
"Because Marriott is, from what I'm reading, a 700,000-800,000-square-foot group, they would sign a long-term deal with probably some new construction," Arlington Chamber of Commerce Chairman Kevin Shooshan told ARLnow.com today. Shooshan is also the vice president of Shooshan Company, a Ballston-based real estate firm. "Because of the size of that deal, it's very attractive to everyone involved in the real estate market. Marriott has good credit. It would be twice the size of [Rosslyn-based] Corporate Executive Board. All parties on the commercial side are interested."
Shooshan said the number of jobs Marriott would bring — more than 2,000 work in Bethesda — could be a boon for the county's economy, including the added employee spending on retail, restaurants and housing. Another benefit would be the real estate revenue. Arlington's commercial real estate market has stagnated in recent years, and landing Marriott would be a financial windfall.
"A headquarters tenant like that brings in tens of millions of dollars in real estate taxes over a 10-15 year lease term," Shooshan said, "and hopefully that term turns into a true long term headquarters location, resulting in hundreds of millions, not to mention more sales and entertainment spending, more residents, more traffic for hotels, restaurants, etc."
Where could Marriott go in Arlington? Real estate publication Bisnow created a list of 16 potential places it could relocate in the D.C. area that fit its criteria, and four are in Arlington:
- The site of the Key Bridge Marriott in Rosslyn, the longest continually operating Marriott in the company's portfolio
- 1812 N. Moore Street, the Monday Properties skyscraper in Rosslyn that opened in October 2013 but still sits vacant. That building holds 560,000 square feet, so it could be paired with planned, 513,000-square-foot redevelopment of 1400 Key Blvd just steps away
- PenPlace in Pentagon City, a sprawling, 2.1 million-square-foot planned office park owned by Vornado and already approved by the Arlington County Board
- Crystal City, where Vornado owns a number of office towers that are already vacant and ripe for redevelopment
Arlington Economic Development spokeswoman Cara O'Donnell couldn't confirm if AED or anyone else from the county have been in talks with Marriott. She did, however, make it known that Arlington will be lobbying hard for the hotel powerhouse.
"Marriott's corporate headquarters would be an ideal fit for Arlington," O'Donnell said in an email. "We are known for our urban villages and metro accessibility, which have been cited as important factors both in Marriott's search criteria and in hiring and retaining the best workforce.
"Arlington has several existing and build-to suit sites that accommodate Marriott's needs for a corporate campus," she added. "Additionally, Arlington is also already home to nine Marriott properties and 3,300 Marriott rooms. These factors all demonstrate Arlington would be a model location for a headquarters of a premier hotel operator."
Marriott is expected to have its pick of just about every local jurisdiction, in Maryland, the District and Virginia. We're told also Tysons Corner figures to be a premiere player with its new Metro stops and massive redevelopment plans.
Marriott's decision is several years away, and the competition will only get fiercer. Although AED would not comment on what type of package it would offer Marriott, it's worth looking at what CEB received in exchange for simply staying in the county and the state: $4.5 million from the governor's office, $5 million from the Virginia Economic Development Fund and a pledge from Arlington County to match any funding for infrastructure improvements.
CEB's 15 stories in the under-construction tower that will bear its namesake will contain 350,000 square feet of floor area. Marriott should occupy at least twice that. Wherever it goes, it likely will see a significant financial commitment from its new home.
Arlington County taxpayers will be asked to approve $218.7 million in general bond obligations at the ballot box on Nov. 4.
The big-ticket question in that referendum will be $105.7 million for Arlington Public Schools, $50.25 million of which will pay for either a new elementary school adjacent to Thomas Jefferson Middle School, or additions onto Randolph and Barcroft elementary schools.
The voting public can only vote to approve or reject to each of the four bond questions on the ballot — for public schools, Metro and transportation, parks and recreation funding and community infrastructure. Each question requests at least $13 million in funding, and all of the referenda roll multiple projects into the larger categories.
The items in the $105.7 million schools bond, aside from the $50 million elementary school, are:
- $28.75 million for a 136-seat expansion at Abingdon Elementary School;
- $10.31 million for "minor construction/maintenance" at school facilities;
- $7.47 million toward a 241-seat addition and renovation at McKinley Elementary School;
- $5 million for a 300-seat expansion at Washington-Lee High School;
- $4 million in planning and design for a new, 1,300-seat secondary school at a yet-undetermined location.
The funding items in the $59.74 million transportation bond question:
- $39 million for continuing funding of the Metro system;
- $15.5 million for road paving;
- $1.3 million for bridge renovations;
- $2.39 million to be divvied up among WALKArlington, BikeArlington and "improvements to major travel corridors [outside] principal boundaries."
The biggest items in the $40.15 million community infrastructure bond are:
- $12 million for neighborhood conservation projects; $10 million for facilities maintenance;
- $2.2 million for planning of the Salt Dome site on 26th Street N.;
- $1.4 million toward a new Lubber Run Community Center;
- $6.1 million combined for a new parking deck, wash bay and fueling station at the Arlington Trades Center.
The $13 million parks and recreation bond question includes:
- $10 million for parks maintenance;
- $2 million for land acquisition and open space;
- $450,000 for Crystal City parks and open space;
- $220,000 for Four Mile Run near-stream improvements.
The Arlington Chamber of Commerce has endorsed the transportation and education bond packages, with assurances from county officials that the additional debt won't affect the county's triple-AAA bond rating. The chamber doesn't take a position on the community infrastructure and parks and rec bonds because they "are not directly tied to economic development."
"Maintaining and improving quality transportation and education are two of the key components of our public-policy positions, and these bonds will assist in easing the traffic crunch and provide seats for Arlington's growing student population," Chamber Chair Timothy Hughes said in a press release.

(Updated at 9:30 a.m.) New Arlington Chamber of Commerce President Kate Roche, 29, knows she will face questions about her age, but she and the Board of Directors that promoted her view it as an asset.
"My age is a positive," Roche told ARLnow.com, days after her new promotion was announced. "It's a change for the business community. When people traditionally think of business, they think of older men, not younger women. Appealing to more demographics makes it a more welcoming place."
Roche replaces now-retired President Rich Doud, 71. Doud hired Roche as the chamber's director of member services and development in 2007 after she worked at D.C. nonprofit Women in Government. Roche called Doud "a great mentor and leader," and said Doud was in tears when they spoke last Friday after she was officially given the job.
The chamber's Board of Directors Chairman Tim Hughes, an attorney in the Bean, Kinney and Korman law firm, said the search committee for a new president agreed that Roche's youth was a good thing for the chamber in the midst of changing times.
"She has had just unparalleled enthusiasm, energy, passion and commitment," Hughes said. "I would say that Kate brings a really interesting and intriguing mix of continuity and experience, along with obvious youth, energy and a change in the face of an organization."
Roche said she's focused on partnerships she's already been building as vice president — her last position. That means working with the Ballston Business Improvement District, Arlington Economic Development and other business and community groups. Roche said leveraging those partnerships will allow the chamber to attract new members, a crucial mission in the changing economy.
"Chambers are being pushed harder to prove why people should join and to demonstrate their value," Roche said. "There was a time when you joined the chamber just because that's what you do."
Hughes said that means attracting more of the tech businesses sprouting up seemingly every week in Arlington and enticing them to join the chamber.
"You think about the people starting businesses and developing software products doing all kinds of great and interesting things," Hughes said. "We're attracting these types of folks to the county, so they see why membership in the chamber helps them be effective in their business."
Coming up, Roche plans to roll out a "Shop Chamber" initiative — member businesses will encourage their customers to shop at other member businesses, with the chamber ultimately keeping track of how much additional money a business can earn from being a chamber member.
Roche said she's also focused on retaining and engaging current businesses, which includes seeing which members haven't been to a meeting or event in six months, and reaching out to them. She said the chamber should play a big role in helping local businesses, whether it's via networking events or by helping to shape county policy.
"The chamber is the only all-county business organization," she said. "The chamber's role is to help businesses do business well. When business issues come up, we're not part of the government, so we can do the lobbying that you can't do if you're a part of the county."
(Updated at 2:55 p.m.) Arlington County Board Chair Jay Fisette says the streetcar is a "strategic investment" that will drive economic development. But he acknowledges that it has an image problem.
Delivering his State of the County address to members of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, Fisette said "the workhorse modern streetcar" gets a bad rap from critics who say it would be waylaid frequently by vehicle accidents and other possible obstructions on the tracks.
Fisette pointed to an image that has popped up on blogs and in Powerpoint presentations given by critics. The image, above, shows the aftermath of a minor vehicle accident in Toronto that caused at least a half dozen streetcars to back up behind a damaged car on the tracks.
"It's an image emblazoned in people's minds that has distorted the debate a bit," Fisette told the crowd.
In reality, Fisette said, such accidents will happen "very infrequently." When it does, obstructions will be cleared from the tracks as expediently as possible. "There is a protocol in place for dealing with that quickly," Fisette said.
Plus, Fisette argued, it's not exactly uncommon for accidents to cause delays for vehicle traffic.
"Backups happen daily on the Beltway due to broken down cars and accidents," he said.
(Those who oppose the streetcar also point out that streetcars themselves are sometimes involved in serious accidents with vehicles and pedestrians.)
Critics, like Board members Libby Garvey and John Vihstadt, say an enhanced bus system would offer many of the benefits of streetcar without the high cost and inflexibility of fixed rail. They have at times pointed to a "streetcar-like bus" in use in Las Vegas (pictured, right) as an alternative.
Fisette said fixed rail is, at least partially, the point. People — himself included — are more likely to ride a train with a fixed route than get on a bus.
"I fundamentally disagree" that buses are better than streetcar, Fisette said. "Streetcar is much more comfortable, much more accessible… multiple doors, better for wheelchairs, much smoother ride. I myself know that when I go to another city, do I jump on buses? No. Really, would I get on a rail system that's fixed and tells you where you're going? Yes."
Fisette's most oft-repeated argument for the streetcar was its higher ridership capacity. He said that prior to the Board's streetcar approval, during a long planning process that asked Columbia Pike residents what they wanted, the community signaled that it did not want Metro and the density that would come with it, but did want more amenities.
In order to continue to revitalize Columbia Pike — and thus build more housing and retail — Fisette said there needs to be more capacity for transit than buses can provide. Already, the Pike is Virginia's busiest bus corridor, with 600 bus trips daily carrying more than 17,000 passengers. With the Pike and Crystal City expected to account for 65 percent of the county's population growth and 44 percent of its job growth over the next 30 years, Fisette said the streetcar is the right system to get people to where they need to go.
"No possible bus system can handle that ridership growth," he said.
On the issue of how to pay for the streetcar — which carries a total price tag of more than half a billion dollars — Fisette said 93 percent of streetcar funding will come from "federal, state and regional money," including a 12.5 cent commercial real estate tax designated for transit. He said he opposes using homeowner tax dollars for streetcar
At the same time, Fisette said he's looking for a possible way to move forward without federal funds, since federal funding would come with strings attached, would increase costs and would slow the project down.
(Updated at 4:20 p.m.) Kate Roche has been promoted to president of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce.
Roche, 29, will succeed retiring president Rich Doud, 71. She began her career with the chamber in 2007 and most recently served as the organization's vice president.
"To me, working for the Chamber has always been much more than just a job," said Roche said in a statement. "The business community continues to evolve and so do the needs of our members. As President and CEO, I will work to keep the Chamber progressing, growing and improving to become the essential partner for business success."
The chamber issued the following press release about the leadership change.
The Arlington Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that Katharine (Kate) Roche has been selected as the Chamber's new President & CEO. On June 20, 2014, the Chamber's Board of Directors voted to approve Roche for the position after the Chamber engaged in an extensive nationwide search through retained search firm, Sterling Martin. Roche began with the Arlington Chamber of Commerce in 2007 and most recently served as Vice President.
"I'm honored to have the opportunity to serve the Arlington Chamber of Commerce in this capacity," said Roche. She added, "To me, working for the Chamber has always been much more than just a job. This is truly my community. The Chamber has an incredibly solid organizational foundation, and I look forward to building upon that. The business community continues to evolve and so do the needs of our members. As President and CEO, I will work to keep the Chamber progressing, growing and improving to become the essential partner for business success."
2014 Chair of the Chamber's Board Tim Hughes, of Bean, Kinney & Korman, P.C., said, "As Vice President, Kate Roche has already given tremendous energy, enthusiasm and engagement to the community of our Chamber. She brings to the table a unique ability to build on our existing success and culture while dynamically leading our Chamber into the future. We are excited to continue our mission to strengthen businesses and the economic environment in Arlington with Kate Roche at the helm as President and CEO."
Roche is a graduate of The George Washington University with a B.A. in Political Science and International Affairs. Prior to joining the Chamber, Roche worked for Women In Government, a national nonpartisan association of women state legislators based in Washington, DC.
A proud Arlington resident, she currently serves on several boards in the community including her Condo Association Board of Directors. She is also an active volunteer with several groups including the Junior League of Washington and the Arlington Community Foundation Scholarship Review Committee.

Noise Ordinance Approval Delayed — The Arlington County Board decided to delay approval of an update to the county's noise ordinance after hearing concern from swim clubs that the ordinance could make cheering at swim meets illegal and punishable by fines or jail time. County staff will now try to craft an exemption for the summer swim leagues. In addition to strengthening prohibitions on loud TVs and music, the noise ordinance update calls for a "quiet period" in single-family home neighborhoods that would impact morning swim meets.

Rich Doud, the long-time president of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce, will be retiring in May.
The announcement was sent to Chamber members this afternoon. This year's Chamber chairman, Tim Hughes of the law firm Hughes, Bean, Kinney & Korman P.C., will lead a search committee to find Doud's successor.
The Chamber issued the following press release about Doud's retirement.
After 23 years as President of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce, Rich Doud has announced that he will retire from his position effective May 15, 2014.
Doud joined the Arlington Chamber in September of 1990 to begin his tenure as the membership-based, nonprofit organization's President, then called Executive Vice President. Under Doud's leadership, the Chamber has made a number of achievements, including creating the Arlington Business Hall of Fame to recognize impactful business leaders in the community, developing the Community Action Committee to build stronger relationships between businesses and nonprofits, ensuring firm financial stability for the Chamber, and founding Leadership Arlington.
"It is impossible to fully express the satisfaction I have experienced working to build a better Arlington and increase opportunities for businesses," said Doud. "I appreciate being given the chance by this great organization and the incredibly capable people who comprise our membership and staff who have bettered the lives of many. The achievements of the Chamber over the past two decades have been collaborative efforts between members and staff."
As a sixty year resident of Arlington, Doud has immersed himself into and become a prominent figure within the community. During his tenure, Doud has received honors such as: Chamber Executive of the Year, Virginia Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives; Outstanding Civilian Service Medal (twice); United State Army; Legacy Award, Leadership Arlington; Spirit of Community Award, Arlington Community Foundation; and more.
His involvement in Arlington extends to his participation in community organizations and serving on various commissions and committees. A few highlights over the years include: founder and member of the Board of Regents of Leadership Arlington; assisted with the publishing of Where Valor Rests, a book about Arlington Cemetery which is given at burials there to the families; member of the Arlington County Economic Development Commission; member of the County Manager's Institutional Leaders Roundtable; volunteer for Volunteer Arlington programs; member of the Police Chief's Advisory Council; and member of the Washington Business Journal's Thought Leadership Panel.
Doud came to the Chamber after a series of successful entrepreneurial ventures running small businesses. In 1984, his company was ranked 35th in the nation on Inc. magazine's annual list of the 500 fastest growing companies in the United States.
Doud retires to spend time with his wife, as well as enjoy more family time with his three grown children and two grandsons (with a third on the way!).
2014 Chamber Chair Tim Hughes, Bean, Kinney & Korman P.C., will head a search committee seeking candidates to fill the position of President at the Arlington Chamber of Commerce. Plans for a celebration honoring Doud and his service throughout the years will be announced at a later date.

The state of the county is strong despite economic challenges, County Board Chair Walter Tejada told local business leaders earlier this week.
In the Board chair's annual State of the County address, Tejada touted Arlington as a "coveted area" that people want to live and work in. However, citing the planned departure of the National Science Foundation and its 2,200+ jobs to Alexandria, and the county's 17 percent (and rising) office vacancy rate, Tejada said the county must work to "reinvent" itself.
"Arlington is facing some economic uncertainty," he said. "One of the worst things… is to be complacent. It's time to reinvent ourselves once again. An important strategy of our reinvention is our focus on science and technology."
To that end, Tejada said the county will continue to fight to keep the NSF in Ballston.
"We are profoundly disappointed, but I believe the last word has not been written on this," he said. "We still believe Arlington is the best home for the National Science Foundation, and we hope that it stays. We will work diligently to make sure that happens."
"It just doesn't make sense," he continued. "Undoing a science cluster that the federal government itself has spent two decades and quite a lot of taxpayer money building? We believe this decision needs closer scrutiny. How much are Alexandria taxpayers paying for this deal?"
On a positive note, Tejada lauded Arlington Economic Development's BizLaunch program which, he said, has helped more than 4,000 entrepreneurs in Arlington.
"Arlington has become a hotbed of startup technology companies," he said. Emphasizing private sector commercial growth is important, he said, since the biggest office tenant in Arlington, the federal government, has become "unpredictable at best."
Also part of Arlington's "reinvention" is the controversial Columbia Pike streetcar system.
"The streetcar is our best transit option for Columbia Pike," Tejada said. "The streetcar will create that main street feel that the community wants. It will reduce pollution and congestion. And yes, it is affordable in the long term. The Pike streetcar system is equal to the cost of one Metrorail station."
The streetcar will be funded via a commercial property tax surcharge that's earmarked for transportation projects. The financing would not qualify for a voter referendum under state law, Tejada said, and "the plan is well within the county's self-imposed debt limit."
Tejada said he would not have supported the streetcar had the Columbia Pike Neighborhoods Plan not called for the preservation of affordable housing. He called on the business leaders in the room to contribute to the affordable housing effort on the Pike.

TAURUS (April 20May 20): My Taurus friend Allie just put a new bumper sticker on her car: "I can't remember if I'm the good twin or the evil one." It's almost as if she intuitively guessed one of the key themes you Bulls will soon be wrestling with: how to tell the difference between your strong, beautiful, inspiring qualities and your unripe, unlovely, and debilitating ones. It won't be as easy as you might imagine. There are sides of your personality that are a blend of both the good and the bad, for one thing. It's also true that your virtues sometimes mutate into vices, and vice versa. Proceed on this exploratory mission with a tough but open mind.
GEMINI (May 21June 20): "Anybody can become angrythat is easy," said Aristotle. "But to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right waythat is not within everybody's power and is not easy." I agree with Aristotle. Those who are able to express anger with maximum integrity are as brilliant as any Nobel Prize winner and as saintly as Gandhi and Mother Teresa combined. Can you imagine yourself rising to that challenge, Gemini? Your assignment in the coming week is to try to master the art of constructive wrath.

CANCER (June 21July 22): In his new book, The Naked Woman (available thus far only in the U.K.), biologist Desmond Morris says that women have four G-spots. He calls the other three the A-Spot, C-Spot, and U-Spot. I thought you Cancerians should know about this fantastic news. You're in the thick of the Season of Bliss, when you should be expanding your capacity to give and experience all sorts of pleasure. I suggest that you do lots of hands-on research to expand your erotic possibilities. Don't stop there, though; explore the frontiers of feeling good in every way you can imagine.
LEO (July 23Aug. 22): "The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself," wrote motivational author Orison Swett Marden. "It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone." Personally, I think that's a bit overstated. In my experience, divine grace in the form of unexpected assistance is usually involved when a golden opportunity shows up. On the other hand, most of us do underestimate how much power we have to make good things happen. This is the time and this is the place, Leo, to stop underestimating. Your will is stronger than you realize.
VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22): Time for a poetry break, Virgo. You've gotten way too serious and literal. Read the following advice with the right side of your brain, please. Imagine you have a guardian angel who resembles the celebrity you love most. Sing your favorite commercial jingle with reverence. Recall and relive the last day of your childhood. Drink the tears of someone you love. If you come upon a lamp with a genie in it, don't wish you had a magic wand. Speak aloud what the poet John Keats wrote: "I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the Heart's affections and the truth of Imagination." Refer to yourself as the "Earth-Shaking, Record-Breaking, Love-Erecting, Truth-Correcting, Mind-Expanding, Justice-Demanding Bolt of Liquid Lightning."
LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 22): In 2002, physicists at Middle Tennessee State University were able to transmit electric signals through coaxial cable at four times the speed of light, even though the equipment they used was cheap stuff from Radio Shack. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you now have the potential to pull off an almost equally amazing feat at a very low cost. So don't assume you need complicated, sophisticated resources this week, Libra. It'll be fine to rely on your personal equivalent of what the Tennessee scientists called "basement science."
SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): According to philosopher George Santayana, "A fanatic is one who redoubles his effort when he has forgotten his aim." Let's make sure that doesn't become an apt description of you in the coming weeks, Scorpio. I have no problem with you redoubling your already intensive efforts. In fact, I encourage you to take your dogged, concentrated approach to new levels that are unprecedented even for you. Just make sure that you never get sidetracked by fantasies of revenge or other irrelevant diversions. Stay hyper-focused on your worthy, noble goals. Show all of us the meaning of enlightened obsession.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Let's say, hypothetically speaking, that a crocodile had you trapped in its clenched jaws. The situation would be hopeless, right? No, not at all. If you had the presence of mind to jam your fingers into the beast's eyeballs, it would release you immediately. Similarly, Sagittarius, the predicament in which you actually find yourself these days is not as dire as you might imagine. Escape will be surprisingly easy if you simplify your perspective and let your instinct for survival guide you.

Orange County's jail inmates eat a lot of candy – so much candy that a private school in Huntington Beach is slated to make up to $20,000 a year from recycling their wrappers.
To reduce the trash they send to the dump, sheriff's officials want to recycle roughly 1 million candy packages from Theo Lacy Facility in Orange.
But the wrappers aren't valuable enough to sell on the open recycling market, and officials say their only known option is a program subsidized by a major candy manufacturer. The program sends 2 cents per wrapper – about $20,000 a year in this case – to nonprofit organizations.
The county Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the program at Tuesday's meeting.
"You're giving back to the community," said Capt. Toni Bland, the Theo Lacy facility commander. "But for me, the bigger issue is reducing what's going to the landfill ... and setting a good example."
When it comes to nutrition – not to mention the lifestyles that landed them in jail in the first place – inmates may not be setting a good example for the kids: Each of the 3,000 inmates eats, on average, a candy bar a day.
Officials searched for a way to recycle the wrappers, and they found TerraCycle, a New Jersey-based company that "upcycles" – or takes trash and makes new products.
But the company has a yearlong waiting list to join, Bland said, and the only Orange County participant is Carden Conservatory, a non-religious private school in Huntington Beach.
State law allows governments to donate unusable goods to nonprofit organizations. Carden has a nonprofit foundation run by parents, according to the state Attorney General's website. The school itself is not listed. Bland said the county counsel cleared the relationship.
Carden enrolled 46 students in the 2012-2013 school year, in kindergarten through eighth grade. Annual tuition is nearly $8,000.
Representatives from TerraCycle and Carden Conservatory could not be reached for comment.
After collecting the packaging, TerraCycle remakes it into bike messenger bags, picture frames and other branded gear. Mars, which makes Snickers, M&Ms, Milky Way and other candy, subsidizes the wrapper recycling program.
"Positive PR is always important for these companies," said municipal waste consultant Michael Balliet, of Michael Balliet Consulting. "Mars may be doing this to keep candy wrappers from being the next target of environmentalists."
Based on the value of the metal and paper in the wrappers, recycling on the open market probably doesn't pencil out, Balliet said – certainly not at 2 cents a wrapper.
"It's much more than the material is worth," he said.

The Chicago Blackhawks are headed to Wrigley
Jun 13, 2010, 12:30 AM EDT
Hey, it's Chicago Blackhawks night here on Pro Hockey Talk. But since
they went and won the Stanley Cup, I guess it's only natural they'll
dominate the headlines for at least 11 days or so.
Expect a big,
rousing ovation tomorrow for the Hawks when a number of players and the
team will be honored at Wrigley field tomorrow during the Cubs-White Sox
Per ESPN Chicago:
The Hawks will be recognized on
the field at 6:45 in celebration of
their Stanley Cup victory. Select Blackhawks will throw out the first
pitch and lead the stadium in a rendition of "Take Me Out to the
How great was this timing? The Blackhawks win the Cup on the same weekend that the Cubs and White Sox play each other.
The good news is that there is no way the
Hawks sing "Take me out to the ballgame" any worse than Denise Richards
did. Then again, it's become a bit of a tradition for celebrities to
just destroy that song on national television, so frankly I'll be a bit
disappointed if it turns out that Dave Bolland and Brent Sopel can carry
a tune.
- sidewaze - Jun 13, 2010 at 1:30 AM
Did anybody hear Jay Cutler sing "Take me out to the ballgame" today?
He was so off key, the Ivy was shriveling on the outfield walls. If he sang like that during a football game, no defensive lineman would go near him
- Happy Girl - Jun 13, 2010 at 9:18 AM
Maybe having the Cup in the house will inspire the Cubs not to suck so much. And before anyone wants to jump all over this, I say this with all sincerity as a Cubs fan.
- Brutus - Jun 13, 2010 at 12:08 PM
It will be great to hear the Chicago Blackhawks Girls Choir sing the 7th Inning stretch song…maybe Kane and Toews will finally get it over with and kiss at the end of the song.
- Anonymous - Jun 13, 2010 at 4:27 PM
Let's see, you are from Philly, or maybe even Nashville or Vancouver. Wherever you are from, it makes us Hawks fans happy to see you so bent out of shape. If that's what you think about Kane and Toews, then what does that say about your team's guys? Don't see nobody else but them hoisting the cup. Pronger, is that you?????

Blaming clinics for their own harassment, making violent insinuations, giving a convicted terrorist a leadership position, railroading good doctors out of business, and claiming that 10-year-old rape victims are better off being forced to give birth: Welcome to the anti-choice movement of 2013.
This week, Mark Gietzen, chairman of the Kansas Coalition for Life, told the Huffington Post that he thinks South Wind Director Julie Burkhart is "trying to provoke an incident so she can say, 'Look, these pro-lifers did something.'"
Anti-Choice Groups Again Petition Wichita City Council to Re-Zone Area Around South Wind Women's Center
Representatives from the groups argue that the area should be re-zoned to disallow abortions, citing "graphic signs" that children can see if they pass the clinic. Individuals affiliated with some of the groups have been known to protest with graphic signs at the clinic.
If accepted by the federal court, Planned Parenthood would narrow its legal challenge to a requirement that providers link to state-sponsored anti-abortion materials on their websites.
In a state known for regressive and harmful social policies and a proliferation of socially conservative Democratic electeds, will the Democrats produce another "me-too Democrat" or a truly progressive candidate who will be the antithesis of Brownback?
The ban received a hearing during the regular session, but now anti-choice activists would like to see it receive a vote.
A flurry of legal activity over state-level abortion restrictions occupied much of the federal court's attention last week.
I asked several lawyer colleagues if they knew of other instances in which a whole occupational category was banned by law from volunteering in schools. They did not. Indeed, as far as I can tell, only sex offenders as a class are de facto banned from school grounds.
Last week the Roberts Court gave us mostly bad news, while advocates at the state level are pushing back against TRAP laws.
The state of Kansas must now defend two lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of HB 2253.

Lake Elsinore Grand Prix races into town next weekend
Two McQueen motorcycles will be on display at Nov. 10-11 event
LAKE ELSINORE No matter how cool the racers will look ripping through the course at the Lake Elsinore Grand Prix set for Nov. 10-11, they won't be the coolest thing in town. Not by a long shot.
That honor will belong to two motorcycles, but not just any motorcycles, motorcycles owned by the late, great Steve McQueen.
Don Ince, owner of Vintage Viking in San Diego, will bring with him McQueen's 1969 Husqvarna 360 Cross and the 1970 Husqvarna 400 Cross, the former being the one McQueen rode in the 1970 Elsinore Grand Prix, a race that was featured in documentary filmmaker Bruce Brown's "On Any Sunday."
"Steve was labeled as one of the first real cool guys, he was the first guy to be paid a million bucks to do a movie," Ince said. "He had a flashy car collection, he had the best of everything. Being an actor, sex symbol, celebrity and being a motor head ... you put those things together, and there's not a whole lot of guys that are that famous and that well liked."
So well liked in fact, McQueen memorabilia is valued extremely high in price.
"It is kinda neat to see an old dirt bike that is worth $100,000," Ince said. "I mean, I can't believe its worth that much, but everything (McQueen) touched turned to gold in auctions when he passed away. Everything is more valuable, just because he owned it."
Adding to the cool factor at the races, there's a good chance that special guest racer and motocross legend Jeremy McGrath will take a spin on one or both of the bikes, which will be on display all weekend.
"I'm not sure that everything is finalized, but yes, the bikes are ready to go and I hear McGrath may ride one in a small parade," Ince said.
McQueen began racing cars and motorcycles in 1950 as a student and began his acting career in 1953. By 1970, he was the highest paid actor in the world and had starred in the highly-successful television series, "Wanted: Dead of Alive."
When "On Any Sunday" was released, it almost instantly became a classic and later picked up an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary. The film features scenes of McQueen racing in the grand prix's 100 mile race under the name Harvey Mushman and finishing in 10th place.
These days, the featured and final race at the grand event is aptly named the Harvey Mushman 100 and takes place at 1 p.m. Nov. 11.
McGrath, raised in Murrieta, will be competing in this year's race for the first time ever and will be racing a 1973 Honda Elsinore in the vintage class. It will be one of several classes in which McGrath will participate in order to "be a part of history," he said in a press release.
McGrath will sign autographs all weekend at his EMCE Sports trailer, where souvenirs, EMCEE merchandise and McGrath team gear will be available for purchase.
The grand prix will feature traditional race classes including dirt bikes, ATV's, vintage bikes and UTV's, with races beginning at 7:30 a.m. on both days.

great pin - good size and still catchy!

this is a great pin - like the card that comes with it - we just started a "shining stars" program and we give the pins away and post the employee's name on our "Shining Star" board. The employees love it and can't wait to see who the next person is that is chosen as the "Shining Star".

The Philippine military says six soldiers and five communist rebels have been killed in a clash in a northern province.
Army spokesperson Col. Cirilito Sobejana says the soldiers were on a counter-insurgency operation on Saturday in Isabela province's San Guillermo township when they ran into 30 New People's Army guerrillas. Nine soldiers and eight guerrillas were wounded.
Manila's DZMM radio station quoted a rebel spokesman saying they gave first aid to the wounded soldiers before escaping.
The rebels have been waging a Maoist insurgency for more than 40 years. Their ranks have thinned from a peak of about 25,000 in the mid-1980s to about 4,000 due to casualties, surrenders and factionalism.
Peace talks brokered by Norway have stalled after rebel negotiators demanded that the government release several detained leaders.

Midterms have crept upon us in Wellesleyland and mono has crept upon the frisbee team. I myself am not playing because I'm nursing a back spasm and the health center was full of WHIPTAiLZ this morning.
We have finalized our spring break plans and will be heading to the tournament Virginia is for Layouts in Axton, VA. Since I live in NJ the team will be able to swing by my house and stay for a giant sleepover.
In other news, some friends from the Mungus (our affectionate diminutive for the dorm I live in) have begun a non-profit business venture on the second floor of Munger. Begun with what Wellesley calls a "free bin" with a an illegible sign identifying it as such, the Mungus Trading Post Co. has bloomed into a large box and decorated sign where residents can add and take items as they please. It's helped our friend Rachel Doyle clear out her dressers and helped me fill mine with new athletic clothing. The other joy of the Trading Post is that it subtly promotes sustainability and community building.
All of the dorms have their own quirks. I'm a quad kid for life (although the Mungus is technically the "quint"). The Tower complex has the tunnels, Lake House has no RA's, Pomeroy has the Kosher vegetarian dining hall and now the Mungus has a trading post.
The founders of the Post have considered implementing an export tax on members of the community who aren't from the Mungus, but considering the hippie, feel good intentions of the Post, that idea was vetoed. We do plan to expand our business venture into other dorms, mostly to see what happens.
If we are successful, I might be able to put founder of a non-profit on my resume.

Liverpool chief John W Henry is planning talks with Fernando Torres.
Henry wants to know whether his star striker intends to quit the club.
The Daily Star says Barcelona and Manchester United are interested in the Spanish sensation, who looks fed up with life at Anfield.
And Liverpool have fixed up a meeting next week with Torres' advisers – Bahia International.
Torres was rested for last night's 0-0 Europa League draw against Napoli, with boss Roy Hodgson saving him for Sunday's Premier League clash with Blackburn.
A source close to Bahia International said: "Liverpool want a meeting. They want to find out about all the speculation about Torres leaving the club.
"We are not taking any notice of that. Torres has a contract with Liverpool so they will be the ones who decide his future. Torres is more concerned about making a full recovery from his injury in the summer, which he feels is affecting his performances."

I am trying to set up another DSL modem for my home. It's the Actiontec GT724WGR modem. When I try to set up the connection, it is asking for my DSL username and password. I was just wondering if anyone can help me find out what those are?
In some Verizon areas, such as mine, the Username and Password can be any combination of Username and Password. Often times with Verizon's modems, the pre-set "newdsl" profile will work just fine out of the box. Anyhow, the PPPoE Username and Password is the same thing that is used to reach your Verizon E-Mail, for the most part. Other than that, give Verizon's Tech Support a call.

Matrix Biolage Bodifying Spray Gel 8.5 oz.
Out of Stock
Matrix Biolage Bodifying Spray Gel supports hair to the fullest to create bountiful body and movement for naturally-textured styles without stiffness.

Biolage Bodifying Spray Gel
I expected a lot from Biolage when I purchased this product and am sad to say that I am disappointed with it. Other than the fact that it smells very good, it doesn't do anything to help my hair appear fuller. What it does is makes your hair sticky and stiff. I can comb/brush through it while blow drying & then straightening my hair but I am still left with a dry, coarse, icky feeling in my hair. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

08 July 2009 15:25 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS news)--Demand for naphtha is expected to rise twice as fast on average as that for oil when the world pulls out of recession due to the expected growth of the petrochemical industry, OPEC said on Wednesday.
Demand for naphtha is forecast to reach 6.2m bbl/day by 2015, OPEC said in its World Oil Outlook 2009 report.
Naphtha's demand could then grow at a higher rate of 2.3% per year to reach 8.7m bbl/day by 2030, representing more than 8% of global oil demand, OPEC calculated.
"The contribution of the petrochemical industry to global crude oil demand may be viewed as small, when compared to automotive fuels, the major outlet," OPEC said.
"Nevertheless, the share of this industry in total oil demand is significant, and to future oil demand growth its role is expected to increase."
In 2007, 8.6m bbl/day of oil, or about 10% of total oil demand, was cracked for olefins and aromatics production, OPEC said.
In 2008, global demand for naphtha alone was 5.6m bbl/day, representing 6.6% of total oil demand, OPEC said.

"This sticker completly matches the invitation design we selected. We are attaching the stickers to the favors we are giving the attendees of our celebration. Thie stickers are a perfect compliment to the design of our invitations and carry on the theme of the event."
"easy...especially for someone who always forgets to buy cards! design is great for boys. i bought several different designs, but this was, by far, my favorite!"
"Love these for my space obsessed son. Would have liked an option to put "To ____" and then "From ____" instead of just a single name. Great nonetheless."
"My youngest (6 years old) picked these out as her Valentines. She put them on a packet of candy for each person in her class. She put a "K" in the heart for kindergarten and thought that they were super cool!"
"I just got these in the mail, and am really pleased. I didn't even realize they were printed off like stickers, but these will look so cute on the favors I will be making for my upcoming babyshower. Not only are these cute, but the customer service is awesome. I wasn't sure when these would arrived and called customer services. I had to leave a message, but they still called me back that same day and left me a message. I will definitely be using tiny prints again for any other card/printing needs!"

Azkals to retain underdog mentality in Challenge Cup
The Philippines faces the "tricky" task of qualifying from Group E of the AFC Challenge Cup Qualifiers which the country will host from March 22 to 26 at Rizal Memorial Stadium.
Although the Azkals will be at full-strength with overseas-based players available for selection, coach Michael Weiss warned his squad that advancing to the main tournament next year will not be easy.
The Azkals face Brunei on March 22 and Cambodia two days later, before wrapping up their campaign against 2012 Challenge Cup losing finalist Turkmenistan, which beat the Filipinos in the semifinals of last year's tournament.
Only the top team in the group will qualify for next year's eight-team final, where host Maldives, Myanmar, Palestine and Afghanistan have already punched their tickets.
"It's a tricky tournament and its not going to be a walk in the park," said Weiss at a press conference at the Philippine Football Federation office Thursday.
"We have a good mix (of players), but we have to show that we have come a long way and prove that we can play at a high level."
Unlike in previous tournaments where their preparations were extensive, the Azkals have struggled to find training time together with the United Football League ongoing and the PFF finding difficulty scheduling an international friendly match for them.
PFF general secretary Ed Gastanes said the federation is still arranging a friendly match against a "higher-ranked" team probably in Hong Kong or Macau on March 17.
One thing going for the Azkals will be the availability of the likes of Stephan Schrock, Rob Gier, Jerry Lucena, Dennis Cagara, Ray Jonsson, Paul Mulders, Angel Guirado and newcomer Javier Patino. The squad also has a selection dilemma in the goalkeeper position with both Neil Etheridge and Roland Muller available.
Azkals manager Dan Palami acknowledged that they will be favorites in the group, but that will not change the "underdog" mentality of the team.

Bald badass Bruce Willis, as he himself would attest, is a little middle-aged spread-ier than he was in 1988 upon Die Hard's release (who isn't?). Still, his alter-ego John McClane remains the dudeliest dude ever to be named after a range of frozen foodstuffs. For this, and for bestowing on us some of the most demented and/or awesome set pieces in action movie history, we salute him.
Among the Die Hard franchise's proud legacy of exploding aircraft, guys crawling through air ducts in shit-stained vests and copious quantities of brandishing guns about while swearing, one phrase deftly summarizes why all men must love these movies (not in any literal sense, as it actually means nothing at all. Ever. But we shan't be pernickety there). It's biologically impossible not to. REAL SCIENCE tells us this.
Behold the John McClane mantra above, in wondrous spanning-every-movie-with-musical-accompaniment form.

WHAS radio announced today that Landon Sloan "officially" said he is going to Morehead. Best of luck to Landon. Seemed like a good kid who may get some minutes there.
Also, they said at that NBA scout thing where they do all the exact #'s such as height and vertical jump etc, Jodie Meeks actual height with no shoes on : 6'3.
Added note: player with best vertical jump- Griffin.

Slone will definitely be a major contributor to Donnie Tyndall's team at MSU. I hope he gets a waiver and can suit up against his former team. Hopefully the Rupp crowd gives him a nice ovation.
Blake Griffin is definitely the only for sure talent in this years draft. Ricky Rubio may be the second, but everybody else has major question marks.
Reds Fan Since 1971
Meeks is definitely 6'3". That's the report from the combine, and they don't mess up those kind of measurements... Meeks also reportedly had the 2nd shortest wingspan of all players at the combine! That's not good.
Will Barton #7 prospect in 2010 class commits to Memphis.
On a somewhat related note, I was in Cincinnati for the game last night. Since Parkersburg is pretty limited on UK apparel, I went to the Kentucky Korner in the Florence Mall and bought a Cal T-shirt. There was an older man and I am assuming was his grandson in the store who was talking non-stop about Cal and how he did Memphis. When he left I went up to check out and asked the person running the register if he was from Memphis and his reaction was "Oh yeah, he wasn't too happy about us taking their coach".
Yeah what was Cal thinking not staying at Conference-USA Memphis until the day he died. They should thank God every day that he stayed there nine years.
By Dick Vitale
I am tired of the John Calipari bashing.
It seems like there are columns and radio talk show hosts firing away against the new Kentucky coach because of the NCAA's investigation into his former school, Memphis.
For those bashing the coach, take a break! How guilty is this guy? Do you really think he went out of his way to make sure someone took an SAT for Derrick Rose? Do you think he made sure an agent laid cash on Marcus Camby at Massachusetts?
This guy has been bashed and bashed, and in every case he has been cleared of involvement by NCAA investigators. Isn't that enough?
The answer is no for those that have a personal agenda. I feel there are some envious people, jealous of his success. Remember, he did not come up in a pedigree situation.
When you are talking about Calipari's former employers, Massachusetts and Memphis, he paid his dues and busted his butt. He worked so hard, playing games at all hours to get exposure for his programs.
Let's face reality ... they did not have the ammunition that Kentucky has ... big blue is one of the Rolls Royce programs in America. Just look at their practice facility; it is like a Taj Mahal. I love the passion of those fans in bluegrass country!
There is nobody else that could have done the job that he did with the Minutemen. Just look at the program before he arrived at Curry Hicks Cage. He was a Frank Lloyd Wright, an architect who build a program into prominence. His intensity, emotion, passion and ability to recruit stand out. He communicates exceptionally well with the modern day athlete.
Calipari has that salesmanship about him. He is one of the few coaches who can handle the pressure of that environment in Lexington. A guy like Rick Pitino did, and he could have won three championships in a row with a little break. Pitino is a future Hall of Famer who would admit now that he should never have left Kentucky for the NBA.
Calipari, like Pitino, has that magical personality to sell the Wildcat program. Unfortunately he has dealt with other issues prior to his first game in Lexington. It has already been a turbulent pre-season as he prepares for the 2009-10 campaign, and the bashers have had a field day.
I understand that coaches have to be accountable for the actions he is involved in. In this instance, he was not involved.
Enough is enough.
Let's give the guy some due. I know there are people who will scream if the NCAA infractions committee says Memphis has to take down that Final Four banner because of the Rose situation. People will say it is Calipari's fault.
The coach is guilty of one thing ... convincing talented players to perform at the schools he represents. These are players other people would have died to have.
I know I am going off, but I have been reading so many articles by people taking shots. I don't feel they are fair.
So you guys like Dickie V now?
So he's cool when he praises Calipari but a dolt when he praises Coach K.

MOUNT AIRY - Heritage's hopes of a state playoff berth came crashing down Friday night in Mount Airy as the Patriots fell victim to the new juggernauts of 8-AAAA North - Habersham Central.The Raiders proved to be as good as advertised, topping the Patriots 28-0 and earning a No. 1 seed in the state playoffs for a second straight year. It didn't take long for the Raiders to get on the scoreboard, going 67 yards in eight plays on the game's opening drive. Quarterback Bo Hatchett scrambled in from nine yards out for the touchdown to cap the scoring drive. After a Scott Hulsey extra point, Habersham led 7-0 with 8:22 left in the first quarter. Heritage took its opening drive and went 48 yards on five plays. However, the drive stalled after Zach Cheek was stuffed on a fourth-and-1 from the Habersham 39-yard line. Habersham took over on downs and put together another eight-play drive. This one covered 61 yards and culminated with a 3-yard touchdown run by Robert Renshaw. The extra point made it 14-0 with 4:12 left in the opening quarter. Heritage got great field position on the next drive after a shanked kick gave the Patriots the ball at the 45. But the ensuing drive only went 20 yards, and the Patriots were stuffed on another fourth-and-1 play. Heritage's best defensive stand of the first half preceded the Patriots' most promising offensive drive of the half. Heritage sacked Hatchett twice on the defensive stand and eventually forced the Raiders to punt on a fourth-and-41. Heritage took over and moved the ball down field quickly for a pair of first downs. However, on a first-and-10 from Habersham's 42, Heritage quarterback Kenny Seabolt was picked off at the 4-yard line. The Raiders took over and put together their most impressive drive of the game - a 12-play, 96-yard drive that ended with a 1-yard touchdown run by Renshaw with 28 seconds left in the first half. Heritage went into the locker room down 21-0 at the break. The Raiders rushed 23 times for 117 yards and passed 17 times for 134 yards for a total of 251 yards in the first half. The Raiders also accumulated 14 first downs to Heritage's five. Hatchett was 10 of 17 for 134 yards in the first half, while Seabolt completed 6 of 11 for 56 yards. Heritage rushed for just 13 yards on nine carries in the first half. Habersham's two-headed rushing attack was equally balanced in the first half. Zach Chitwood rushed seven times for 57 yards, while Renshaw carried it nine times for 56. Tavarres King caught six passes for 97 yards in the first half. Tim Parker gave Heritage a spark on the first play of the second half with a 50-yard run. However, Seabolt was picked off on the next play. Fortunately for the Patriots, Habersham fumbled three plays later and Heritage took over on the Raiders 35-yard line. Heritage could do nothing with the ball and actually went backward on the next drive, having to punt the ball back to the Raiders. But once again, Habersham fumbled the ball back to the Patriots, this time, on the 37-yard line. Unfortunately, Heritage didn't get any closer than before and turned the ball over on downs. Habersham's third fumble of the third quarter gave the Patriots the ball back at their own 36-yard line. But again, Heritage could do nothing on offense. Habersham eventually went up 28-0 with 3:07 left in the third quarter on a 2-yard touchdown run by Chitwood. Brandon Evans can be reached at email@example.com.
