Judging by the achievements, I'm probably a little over halfway done with the single player campaign of Mass Effect 3 and all I can say is, man, the ending must really suck. I'm not there yet, I've more or less not had the ending spoiled, but for the amount of hate syrup being poured on the Mass Effect 3 pancake (with vitriol butter) the ending has got to just be the worst thing ever in the history of story telling to offset how much fun it's been thus far.
There are some odd animation glitches, sure, but I just played a bit where you are dropped off on a planet directly into a Normandy (the beach, not the ship) style battle that was straight up awesome. I like the improved shooting, Shepard seems to handle better, and I really, honestly, truly love the multiplayer. It's not the most original thing in the world, sure, but fighting off the horde in the science fictional lens-flared future is great. I'm having a blast with it. It even cribs some good things from Borderlands and Diablo that trigger my ever present loot lust. I've got numbers, sure, but I could always have *better* numbers. That's why they're numbers.
I liked the crew you ran with better in ME2, I think Edie's hair looks stupid in 3, some aspects of the development feel rushed, and sometimes Shepard's head is twisted 90 degrees away from the person I think he's supposed to be looking at, but I reckon he gets shy. There are problems, but so far I love it to death.
I can't WAIT to get so foot stompingly angry at the ending. I bet I'll hate it so much it'll be a contender for game of the year. Hell, I bet I'll love it because I'm perverse like that. I bet I even can guess what it is.
So excited.

Dubai seeks to become regional aftermarket re-export hub
Between 50-60 percent of aftermarket imports into Dubai are re-export bound. This trade plays a vital economic role with the emirate's aftermarket trade being worth between 3.5 to five billion Emirati dirhams ($950,00-$1.4 million) a year, according to an AAME press release.
"The recent announcement that Dubai will have its own auto parts city free zone is a clear indication that the Government takes this segment extremely seriously," said Surender Singh Kandhari, vice chairman of the newly formed Auto Parts Merchants Group (APMG).
The Automotive Aftermarket Middle East (AAME) 2002 exhibition will run at the Airport Expo Dubai from April 9-11 and is hoped to advance the positioning of the emirate as the Middle East's aftermarket re-export hub. International Expo-Consults (IEC) organizes AAME.
"Already this year's show is 30 percent larger than last year with 130 exhibitors from 19 countries and featuring first-time representation by companies from Brazil, China, Taiwan, Greece and Tunisia," said IEC Chairman AbdulRehman Falaknaz. "These newly emerging business opportunities lead us to anticipate the show will this year smash its on-site order book record, which last year topped five million dollars." — (menareport.com)

The Origins of Off-Campus Access
Accessing library materials from off-campus is one of the great conveniences of 21st century life. We should note that sending library materials to remote users is nothing new, check out this page from the Michigan Light House Conservancy about Traveling Light House Libraries, a book delivery service for 19th century lighthouse keepers and their families.
If you're curious about other methods of document delivery, how about Biblioburro, a library that travels to users via donkey?
Of course, here at City Tech, our options include CLICS and ILL. Not as exciting as having your articles delivered to a mountainside, but we find them pretty useful.

Eating the Big Apple: New York City's Cuisine Is Emerging
Savory black-and-white cookies iced with Périgord truffle. Smoked sturgeon–wrapped gnocchi fritti cigarettes schmeared with cream cheese and dipped in poppy seeds. Fiery kung pao pastrami. These are signs of a New York City cuisine emerging in the minds and on the menus of chefs around town. It's a new cuisine based on old flavors, local ingredients, nostalgic resonances, and the culinary culture clash of ethnicities that call New York home.
Feeling the pressure, perhaps, from cutting-edge chefs in Denmark who are foraging their wilderness for a true taste of terroir and cooks in Charleston who have heirloom grains growing in their backyards, some New York chefs appear to be on the search for an authentic cuisine they can call their own. "We were drinking Manhattans in a Paris hotel bar when Daniel first told me that he wanted to write a book about New York cuisine," begins Will Guidara's introduction... Read more >
12 Dishes We Loved in 2012
Between attending guest-chef dinners at the Beard House and our travels to other cities for various fundraisers and programs, the JBF team collectively feasts on a broad swath of American food every year. After another rush of meals in 2012, we're confident that this country's cuisine is more exciting than ever. We wish we could give a shout-out to every dish that wowed us, but we're going to keep this salute to a tidy, stellar dozen.

The Past on the Plate: Translating Powerful Food Memories into Unforgettable Meals
by Jamie Feldmar
One transformative taste, whether it's of a perfectly ripe summer tomato or an elaborate chef's menu, can linger far longer in the mind than it does on the tongue. As anyone who remembers a sacred sandwich from childhood can attest, food memories rarely exist in a vacuum; they are inextricably tied to where you were when you had that unforgettable bite.
Those who make food their career tend to understand the importance of creating lasting food memories—most chefs hope the meals they craft will stay with their diners for years to come. They often draw inspiration from their own food memories, in ways both recognizable and unexpected.
Chris Hastings, 2012 JBF Best Chef: South award winner and owner of Hot & Hot Fish Club in Birmingham, Alabama, spent his childhood summers on Pawleys Island, South Carolina, where he was once charged with catching fish, crabs, oysters, clams, and shrimp for his family's dinner.

Wild Food: Chefs on the Hunt for Native Ingredients
by Jessica Ferri and Alison Tozzi Liu
At one of the most revered restaurants on earth, the chef is almost as well known for the way he procures his ingredients as he is for how he cooks them. At Noma, which has held onto the coveted top slot on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list for the third year in a row, chef René Redzepi doesn't just serve foods native to his homeland of Denmark—he's often found plucking local treasures from the soil himself.
In the years since Redzepi and his compatriots struck a culinary nerve by taking locavorism to the next level, many chefs—several Redzepi protégés among them—have helped launch a worldwide foraging trend that has begun to eclipse the modernist, technique-driven focus that dominated restaurant kitchens during the past decade.
On the Job
Though there are certainly chefs who like to go out into local fields and forests to gather ingredients themselves, some restaurants now employ professional foragers... Read more >
Spirited Artisans
After states lifted Prohibition-era distilling bans a few years ago, craft spirit producers started to crop up in cities all over America. Jamie Feldmar reports on the comeback of the urban distillery.
Move over inner-city farmers, rooftop beekeepers, and backyard chickens. It's time to meet the latest urban industry: moonshine.
Well, not exactly; it's legal. In recent years, a growing number of craft spirit producers have been building aboveboard distilleries in city centers, eschewing wide-open spaces in exchange for the opportunity to connect directly with their customers. Inspired by the do-it-yourself philosophy of the local-food movement, they're injecting that same spirit into, well, spirits.
During Prohibition (1920–1933), moonshiners illicitly distilled corn mash into low-grade liquor with a smell and taste so strong it's a wonder anyone wanted to smuggle it at all. After the repeal it became... Read more >

Reflections on a Delicious Legacy: JBF Celebrates 25 years of Shining a Spotlight on Chefs
This article is excerpted and adapted from the introduction to The James Beard Foundation's Best of the Best: A 25th Anniversary Celebration of America's Outstanding Chefs, which is being published this spring. Preorder your copy today from our Amazon store.
Looking back on the past 25 years, it's hard to believe how much American food and food culture has evolved. When the James Beard Foundation was founded in November 1986 by Peter Kump, Julia Child, and other friends and colleagues of James Beard, no one could have imagined that there would one day be two 24-hour television networks devoted to food programming. It would have been
Voting with Your Forks: How We Can All Have a Positive Impact on our Food System
Insufficient access to fresh food. Childhood obesity. Eroded soil. Many of us know that our food system is rife with problems, but aren't sure how we, as food shoppers, cooks, and eaters, can bring about change.
The key, according to Karen Karp, president of NYC food business consultancy Karp Resources and a partner in planning the recent JBF Food Conference, is to focus on making progress—and remember that we won't solve these big problems all at once. "Sustainability is a journey, not a destination," says Karp. "That kind of thinking can really instigate some change."
Our 2011 Leadership Award recipients and members of our advisory board agree that there is a lot we can all do. Here are their suggestions.
"Cook. If you don't cook your food it invariably gets cooked for you. It gets processed and it gets manipulated. And when that happens you eat less nutritiously. And the environment suffers. And
An Autumnal Cheese Primer
Sure, fall's harvest brings tons of great produce, but as JBF Award nominee, chef, and master cheesemonger Matt Jennings explains, it's also the peak season for cheese.
You can tell a lot about your cheese from how it tastes, and the flavors of true artisan American cheeses are as varied as the seasons in which they're created.
It's a well-known truth in the tight-knit world of professional cheesemongers that autumn in particular brings a bounty of small-production cheeses from farms and producers across the country—each with a distinct flavor profile and a story all its own.
While it can be hard to choose, here are some of our favorite cheeses to purchase and consume in the autumn months.

From: Oakton, VA
Region: Mid-Atlantic
Topic: Compost and Mulch, Planting, Groundcovers
Title: Splash-proof plants from Oakton VA
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Hi Mr Smarty Plants, Re: low, evergreen ground cover, Northern Virginia The bare soil around my freshly painted screen porch splashes up onto the white framing when it rains so I am looking for short (less than 8"), evergreen ground cover for the east (sun/shade), south (full sun), and west (mostly shade) sides of my porch. Other flowering native plants will be planted with the ground cover. Thanks for promoting native plants and for your help with this question. Please do not put my email address on any mailing list, use only for response to this question.
In the interests of privacy, no one's name or e-mail address is ever published, so don't worry about that.
The quickest, if short-term, solution to your problem is a good-quality shredded bark mulch. This will deflect the water splashes and enrich your soil as it decomposes. Read our How-To Article Under Cover with Mulch.
We say "short term" because as the mulch decomposes, it will soak down into the soil, amending it for good drainage and helping little new rootlets to get nutrients and water out of the soil. So, once you have at least alleviated the splashing with the mulch, you can go to our Native Plant Database and select some plants that could go in that bed of mulch either now or in the Spring.
Using the Combination Search on that page, select Virginia as the state, and begin with herb (herbaceous blooming plants) under Habit, and the appropriate amount of sunlight under Light Requirements. Down near the bottom of that search page, you can select the mature height you wish. We will make you a trial run list. Follow each plant link to our webpage on that plant to determine its growing conditions and appearance. Then, you will know how to use the database and can construct your own searches. If you have difficulty finding plants you want at local commercial nurseries or home improvement stores, go to our National Suppliers Directory, put your town and state or just your zip code in the "Enter Search Location." This will produce a list of native plant nurseries, seed companies and consultants in your general area. All have contact information, so you can get in touch in advance to find out what they have and where they are.

Asarum canadense (Canadian wild ginger)

Jack Jones, at 76, still making lovers swoon
More News from Pocholo Concepcion
MANILA, Philippines—American jazz and pop singer Jack Jones is 76, and still singing the tunes that make lovers swoon.
The two-time Grammy winner is in town, leading a pack of local and international artists scheduled to perform this Valentine week, come hell or heavy traffic in Metro Manila and other parts of the country.
Jones will perform in two shows—Thursday night at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, and Friday at the Manila Hotel Tent.
The songs he recorded at the peak of his career in the 1960s and 1970s may not ring a bell with most of today's youth, but listening to them now on YouTube might just lead one to discover why these carefully crafted compositions are called classics.
Like good wine
Asked why these old songs, like good aged wine, are especially appreciated during the love month of February, Jones said: "It's their sense of intimacy that suggests quiet romance…"
Born John Allan Jones, the only son of actors Allan Jones and Irene Hervey, the young Jack attended University High School in West Los Angeles and studied drama and singing.
His first professional break was with his father, who was then performing at the Thunderbird Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
In 1961 he recorded "Lollipops and Roses." The song won for him the Grammy Award for best pop male performance the following year. This feat would be repeated in 1964, when his recording of the Burt Bacharach-Hal David composition "Wives and Lovers" won the Grammy, again for best pop male performance.
Throughout the '70s, Jones' reputation as a hitmaker hardly waned, as he interpreted all sorts of tunes by other artists with confidence. One of these songs, "She," originally recorded and cowritten by French singer Charles Aznavour in 1974, became identified with Jones after he waxed it in his 1975 album "What I Did for Love."
Perhaps one of the greatest love songs of all time, an ode that describes the breadth of a woman's attributes, "She" was revived by British singer-songwriter Elvis Costello that was featured in the film "Notting Hill."
On his personal life, Jones—who has reportedly been married five times—said he is now content with his current relationship. "It may be a cliché, but I love her and she's also my best friend. I watch her back and she watches mine. That's very important," he said.
Competing gigs
His Valentine shows will face stiff competition from a number of gigs likewise targeting couples or groups of friends who will spend the next few nights reminiscing the songs of their youth.
Leading these shows is "We Got the Love: The Greatest Hits Reunion," which features 11 all-star Filipino members of the defunct Circus Band and New Minstrels: Hajji Alejandro, Basil Valdez, Jacqui Magno, Tillie Moreno, Pat Castillo, Ray-An Fuentes, Louie Reyes, Chad Borja, Ding Mercado, Joey Albert and Eugene Villaluz; it has three performances—Thursday night, Friday at the Philippine International Convention Center; and Feb. 15 at the SMX Convention Center of SM Lanang in Davao.
Sold out
Tickets to the first two nights of "We Got the Love" have reportedly sold out. Sales of the third show in Davao are also reportedly doing well.
Among the other V-Day concerts that might interest those willing to brave the traffic are:
"Valentine Serenades" with Bo Cerrudo, Robert Seña, Aicelle Santos, Rafa Siguion-Reyna and an ensemble from the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra, and guests Richard Merk and Rachel Anne Wolfe; Thursday night at Solaire Resort and Casino;
"With Love, Martin and Regine" with Martin Nievera and Regine Velasquez, Feb. 14, SM Mall of Asia Arena;
"The King and the Diva: Beyond Classic" with Leo Valdez and Kuh Ledesma, Feb. 14, Newport Performing Arts Theater, Resorts World Manila; and
"Love Moves" with Julia Fordham, and guests Annie Brazil and Richard Merk, Feb. 14, Solaire Resort and Casino.

The Evolution of Corporate Logos
In 1907, 19-year-old Jim Casey borrowed $100 from a friend to start the American Messenger Company, which, using the help of his two brothers, made deliveries on foot and by bicycle. Fast-forward ten years, when Casey merged his company with a local competitor, and created its first logo, a shield with an eagle carrying a package. Paul Rand, famous for designing some of America's most notable corporate logos including IBM, UPS, Enron, Westinghouse, and ABC, designed UPS's third logo in 1961. In 2003, UPS, along with marketing consultancy FutureBrand, spent two years designing the most recent logo.

"Our memories are the only paradise from which we can never be expelled," wrote German novelist John Paul Richter.
It is in this paradise filled with memories that Parvathamma Rajkumar has spent the last four years since the passing on of her husband, Rajkumar, the undisputed star of the Kannada film industry for five rich decades.
It is these memories of her husband of 53 years that have helped her tide through the "difficult" four years since the thespian's sudden death on April 12, 2006, at the age of 75, due to a cardiac arrest, she says.
"I just don't know how the time has passed in the last four years. The pain is there, it hasn't reduced. But we have to continue working, don't we? He's in my thoughts all the time, from morning till night," she tells DNA.
Parvathamma feels his constant presence by her side, which, she says, gives her the strength to carry on. "Rajkumar is still here. There is no question of forgetting him. I am alive today because I believe he is with me," she says.
Being close relatives (Rajkumar was her maternal uncle's son), she had seen him even as a kid. But the first time she truly took notice of him was on June 25, 1953, when she stood before him as his 14-year-old bride in the temple town of Nanjangud.
"I don't remember much about the wedding except that almost everyone from my husband's side was in tears. That was because their head of the family (Rajkumar's father) had passed away and was not there to witness the eldest son's wedding.
When we exchanged garlands and he tied the knot, he was crying. I saw him cry and started to cry myself (smiles). I was 14, young and naive. It's different these days. Fourteen-year-olds are smart," she says.
The 53 years with him have loaded her with memories of their time together, and the way Rajkumar, revered with the demi-god status by millions of Kannadigas around the globe, lived his life.
Disciplined and a complete family man is how she describes him.
"If he has to leave home at 8 am, he would leave home exactly at 8 am, not at 8.01 am. He loved spending time with kids at home because he rarely got to spend time with the family otherwise. Those were special moments. Sometimes, we used to go out to restaurants, too," her eyes light up as she speaks.
And, of course, his likes and dislikes. Rajkumar was known to love non-vegetarian food. "He used to relish the mutton dishes I used to prepare for him," she says. His other favourites were kosambari, soppina palya, and uppa saaru (salad, curry made of greens, and rasam).
As much as he was her real life hero, she loved him as much in reel life, she says. "I would like to remember him in his roles of Rama, Krishna, Arjuna, Mayura, Kanakadasa and other mythological roles. I wish Puneet or Shivanna would act in similar mythological roles. But they say that they don't have the stature or the style that Appaji had," she says.
His enthusiasm, his wisdom and his principles will always be with her, she says. "They say that behind every successful man there is a woman. If I am behind his success, even that is because of him alone," she says.
Has she really moved on? "Sometimes I feel he's not around, but then I immediately tell myself that he is around, and the world seems to be a much better place to live in," she replies.

Currently, this rating system is only available to customers of insurance companies, but the company plans to make it more widely available through public search engines in the future.
Whole Foods' Mackey said competition could improve American health care, except so far, not enough people shop for that health care.
"The doctor doesn't feel compelled to compete on price," he said. "The doctor doesn't worry that he's going to lose that business to a competitor down the street. So there really isn't any price competition going on."
That's why, he said, despite their big initial savings, Whole Foods' health care costs are creeping up again.
"But if everybody was out there asking doctors what things cost, if doctors were advertising their prices," Mackey said, "we'd begin to see prices dropping."

10.11.06 - By Ted Sares: First off, there is no way in hell he is going to retire. Let's get that absurd thought out of the way at the outset. There are too many mega purses out there for him and he knows it better than anyone else except perhaps his uncle. Pretty Boy's problem seems to be one of attitude and out-of-ring demeanor. What he need is a good Public Relations spokesperson. God knows he has few, if any, problems in the ring. Sure, if he retired now, he would end up being a slam dunk in the International Boxing Hall of Fame....but his legacy as a premature retiree would haunt him forever.
There are too just too may challenges out there for him. Miguel Cotto. Ricky Hatton, Antonio Margarito, Sugar Shane Mosley and Oscar De La Hoya come to mind. As well, Paul Williams looms. Now I am not saying he should fight and beat each of them, but wins against Antonio, De La Hoya and Sugar Shane would cement his greatness. I would more than settle for that. Moreover, a fight with the Golden Boy would not be that daunting, and I think, style-wise, he has the goods for Margarito. Sugar Shane may be another story, however. Let's examine that thought in more detail.
1) Sugar Shane dominated Fernando Vargas from the start and finished him off with one big and deadly left hook in the sixth preceded by a dazzling display of jabs and hand speed throughout the bout. This outstanding piece of work was reminiscent of a prime Mosley. Arguably, some might pose the question: was Mosley that good or was Vargas that bad? The thinking here is that Mosley was that good.
2) He is once again using feints, dazzling speed, quickness, and crafty head and body movement that served him so well in his two wins against Oscar De La Hoya and Vargas twice.
3) He is just as creative as PBF and can improvise in the ring and this adds to his already potent arsenal of weapons
4) He is very comfortable having his father, Jack, back in his corner. If the Vargas fight is any indication, it appears he is back to stay. After all, he is man who directed his son to three world titles and the biggest wins of his career. Unlike the strained relationship between Roy Jones Jr, and his dad, Roy Sr., Shane Mosley, 34, embraces having Jack in his corner. He also is visibly content being promoted by Golden Boy.
5) Mosley, whose amateur record was an eye popping 230-12 (Mayweather had a successful amateur career, with a record of 84-6) knows his craft inside and out. He is a combination boxer-puncher but trainer Jack believes in power boxing, a method in which punches are thrown at a high rate of speed, most of them power shots with the hand speed generating the superior power. That style has worked well in the past as his son became a lightweight, welterweight, and junior middleweight champion. Floyd also know his craft well and thus the ingredients for a perfect storm are in the offing.
If Sugar Shane continues to fire wicked combinations combined with his trademark speed and reflexes, he will be every bit the formidable opponent for a favored Floyd Mayweather Jr who showed something to be desired in his last outing with Carlos Baldomir. Mosley is no Baldomir.
Its clear the 34-year-old Mosley is still on top of his game, but time is a wasting and he needs to get it on. For his part, Floyd weeps and says he may retire. Baloney! With memories of Hagler, Hearns, Leonard and Duran looming in the background, now is the time for Floyd to cement his legacy......

The fresh notification is likely to be issued on Monday
The application forms for e-tendering are expected to be put on the HMDA website
Earlier the authority's move to auction 80 properties had failed
HYDERABAD: Against the backdrop of real estate sector showing signs of a fatigue after the boom for last few years, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) is all set to issue a notification on bulk auction of properties located on the city suburbs.
The auction, to be put forward as e-tender, is to take place within days of the Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy conceding a point on the impact of global slowdown of economy and the same affecting the government's plan of mobilising resources through auctions.
The fresh notification likely to be issued on Monday will cover properties located in different places such as Turkayamjal and Nallagandla and most come as spreads in acres.
This is in addition to the recent move by the authority to put for auction more than 80 properties that failed to get successful bidding in earlier initiatives.
The present e-tendering will have Turkayamjal (5,324 sq.yards), Srinagar (4,887.41 sq.yards), Jalapally (7,220 sq.yards), Mamidipally (5,552 sq.yards) and Chintapally (3,632 sq.yards).
These apart land going under the hammer include 6 acres at Gopanapally, 1 acre 30 guntas at Kondapur, 4 acres 18 guntas at Mallapur and 4 acres at Nallagandla.
The application forms for e-tendering are expected to be put on the HMDA website on Monday from when on the same can be downloaded for participation, the last date for submission is likely to be around December 1.
These auctions are expected to be watched keenly both by the investors, promoters and developers as the recent trends in property matters have been on a rather sluggish note.
Most developers openly acknowledge a drastic drop in enquiries for properties offered by them and even the auctions in recent times turned out to be a paler version of the enthusiastic bidding that was on witness till last year.

Tan With Implants Instead Of Sun 54

Dagnabbit, I was just about to mention this, and somebody's beaten me to it..
The drug in question is, as I recall, "Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone", which evidently is showing in trials that it improves libido for both men and women. It seemingly acts in the brain rather than the genitals (and as any marriage/sex councelor should tell you, the brain is the most important sex organ after all) and so works in a completely different way from viagra and such.
Wonder how hard it is to get hold of stock in this company....whether it's OFFICIALLY released for anything other than a tanning-aid, you just KNOW that the, ahem, "off-label" uses of it will make it awfully popular....

Woman set on fire in LA as she sleeps on bench
Robert Wyneken, 75, who volunteers at a nearby church that serves meals for the less than fortunate, called Violet the "sweetest lady on the street." He said she was quiet, independent and resourceful.
Wyneken said she supported herself by recycling cans and didn't like to panhandle. He said there were efforts to get her housing and in contact with family, but she wouldn't have it.
"I just think she had something in her life where she wanted to be alone," he said. "She didn't want to be a burden to anybody."
Wyneken, Deol and others said they were deeply troubled by what had happened at the bus stop.
"The guy who did this should spend the rest of his life in jail," Deol said.
Steve Williams, 62, who identified himself as a homeless veteran, said he is aware of the dangers of sleeping on the street but that it's difficult to find space at nearby shelters, especially at this time of year.
"We are all human. No one should be treated like that," he said.

Ingleside authority hires project manager and assistant
INGLESIDE - What to do with 155 surplus acres at Naval Station Ingleside is a question redevelopment officials want area residents to help answer in the new year.
The Ingleside Local Redevelopment Authority, the group charged with redeveloping the base's Electromagnetic Roll Facility, ended its meetings for the year on Friday by formally announcing the hiring of a project manager and an assistant.
Ingleside resident Peter L. Perkins, a 30-year veteran of the Marine Corps and a retired Navy Federal Credit Union executive, will assume most of the responsibility of planning the redevelopment of the surplus property and seeking federal and state money to fund the effort. The group hired Virginia Rose Collin as his assistant.
The next step for the redevelopment group is to seek public comment about what should be done with the 155 acres, about 100 of which are underwater. Authority Chairwoman Stella Herrmann said she plans to ask each of the group's eight members to solicit that comment from their respective entities at the group's next meeting, which has not been scheduled.
The Ingleside and Corpus Christi city councils and the San Patricio and Nueces county commissioners courts each have two representatives on the authority.
"I'm going to ask each group to hold workshops for their constituencies to garner that input," Herrmann said.
The authority earlier this week received $220,000 from the Office of Economic Adjustment, the federal agency that assists communities that have been affected by Base Realignment and Closure. Naval Station Ingleside's closure, expected in September 2010, was a result of the 2005 BRAC round.
The federal money will help pay for Perkins' and Collin's salaries and other administrative costs, Herrmann said.
Perkins, 67, who starts his new position Jan. 7, said his first order of business is to develop a timeline to begin planning the reuse of the property. He said his years in the military, including work at Marine Corps Headquarters, gave him experience with federal protocols and bureaucracy.

a workhorse bike- never in over its head, and never overkill (gonna be lifelong bike)
preferably steel- I'm still gonna ride hard, and don't want to be beat up for it
Hardtail- cheaper, the legs are the best suspension system anyways
when you research enough you'll surprisingly find plenty of bikes like this, but none with the history of Dragon.
I love this bike, not like a dream bike but like a brother. It'll beat you up from time to time, but in return you beat the hell out of it because its just begging for it (and deserves it to). This is not fast bike it's too heavy, so if you care about results look else where now. This bike will reward those who hull it's poor ass over the mountain and challenge you to a friendly race back down.
with the exception of the fork this is the best spec'd bike for the money, Deore through out, ritchey cockpit. nothing needs upgrading, but any future investments will be well rewarded. The fork does suck but at least your not stuck with paying an half-ass product that thinks it good. It'll be hard to find a replacement for it though because it's a straight 1 1/8" steer tube (not too many 650b straight steer tube forks on the market). But hopefully the market fixes that in the future.
buts it heavy, Harden up. it's pretty easy to find where to hack off 3 pounds (seat, cockpit, fork, tires, cassette...).
get it if-
-you have pulse
-you like fun
-this is your first bike
-you believe bike should last a lifetime
-want a bike that doesn't need upgrading right away
Don't get it if-
-you're a xc racer who cares about results
-you can afford to buy the race model
-you already own one

If want dual purpose for racing go for the 29er, but if you care more about fun stick to 650b.

Bike Setup: Mavic 717XC hoops, Hayes Hydraulic 6" brakes, Shimano XT group all around, FSA cranks.
Date Reviewed: April 6, 2010
Strengths: Great steel frame, nice components, good ride, well worth the money.
Weaknesses: heavy, but not abnormally so.
From what I've heard, the Hayes Sole brakes don't have good stopping power. However, I weigh 140 lbs and haven't really noticed. I've used brakes that have better stopping power, but I can lock both wheels with relative ease when I want to (for stoppies and rear wheel brake slides).
Bottom Line:
Anyway, I love the Reynolds 631 steel frame. I've ridden other aluminum frames and the ride quality just is not the same.
The shimano Derailleurs work well and the LX shifters... well, shift smoothly and have a quality feel. They can be pushed or pulled to change gears, which I find fun.
The brakes aren't as good as many people would like them to be. I haven't had any problems in particular with the Hayes Sole Hydraulic brakes, but it's true that they aren't overly powerful. I might switch them out for some Avid BB7s at some point. I'm not in a huge hurry, however.
Other than personal, ergonomic modifications, e.g. handlebars, stem, more adjustable seat post, and bar ends, I might consider upgrading to a nicer set of rims. Again, I haven't had any trouble with the stock rims, and I haven't babied them, but they are heavy.
The Dragon comp is for those people looking for a comfortable, steel frame trail bike who may, at some point, want to upgrade components and make the bike their own. That is not necessary though. I've had a lot of fun on this bike and I have only recently started buying aftermarket parts for it.
All in all, a great bike for the price. I've always loved Jamis products and the Dragon Comp has never let me down. Thanks for listening!

Anyone who buys a bike like this already knows it's strengths. One of the only mainstream steel bike left. Not super light but such a smooth ride that you need to experience to appreciate. Like the new design and paint, different from the usual black/white/grey/silver combinations out there, looks way better in real life than in the catalogue.
Weaknesses: Standard Juicy 3's are very average, squeal like pigs and look cheap. Best to swap them if you have the chance. Wheels are ok and do the job. Get a lighter set for events.

Strengths: Good deal on a "steel is real" hardtail bike. Great grip, good component set - although trying my hardest to get things broken so I can get on the upgrade train. Shimano components (transmission) have been faultless, despite being midrange.
Weaknesses: Chrome and Black paint job makes it look a bit like a supermarket bike. Beware buying bikes from the internet. Even though this came with 'professional setup', it arrived with neither disc brake working (leaks, kinks in hoses), a small ding in the frame, front tire instaled wrong way round, rear deraileur needing adjustment. Jenson did provide a credit and my LBS made good on adjustments, but I couldn't ride the thing out of the crate. Feels very heavy, but somehow it just loves going up hills. Rear wheel needed some truing after first few rides (which I discovered after reviewing the wheelset on MTBR.com)

Strengths: Climbs effortlessly, 853 steel is lively, responsive and forgiving, smooth ride, handles very well, acceleration is impressive. Reliability and durability, in 2000 miles, mostly offroad, I have never need repairs.
Weaknesses: Everyone on the trails looks at my sexy bike and wants to know about it! Other than that, nothing bad to say about the bike.
Bottom Line:
Jamis builds great bikes. I have put this bike through a lot. I sold my full suspension rig last year so this bike has been on some rough trails lately. I only weigh 140lbs so I don't feel too bad taking it off small drops, nothing over 5 feet though since I still need it for races.
I have never needed to repair anything on this bike. It has been involved in 3 serious crashes, and a few minor ones, with no damage aside from minor scratches.
If you are in the market for an XC hardtail, the Dragon Pro is worth looking at. It rides great stock and if you want to build it into a race machine, you won't be disappointed.

Strengths: Can't beat the off-the-shelf value or the sweet feel of steel! The bike is nimble and supple, but doesn't compromise stroke efficiency (kinda like Ti without the price). Very, very responsive - be careful if you're coming off an old beater like I did - it will buck ya. Components are high-end enough that you really don't need to upgrade unless you just want to (or you really think cutting a half a pound is going to make you any faster - just a hint, it won't!).
Weaknesses: The paint does seem to chip rather easily, so I would maybe suggest that Jamis start powder coating this frame. Also the Juicy Three's have faded quickly on mine - maybe it was just the pads, but I swapped 'em out anyway.

Cassandra Smith at Sky High Gallery
One of the things that's hard not to miss about artist Cassandra Smith is the way she gravitates toward what are often considered decidedly male things. From animal pelts, nautical rope, axes, deer antlers and taxidermied game, she is at home with the raw materials of man caves everywhere.
But Smith imposes pretty paints, sequins and a design sensibility to transform these found objects into something other than what they were. Through direct application of color and pattern, she creates a tension between natural and organic forms and hard-edged geometries. She alters her materials while honoring the qualities that drew her to them in the first place, she says in her artist statement. »Read Full Blog Post

Although we are yet to be told who are the perpetrators the reasons for the attacks on Jews are because of the anti- Zionism , anti- Israel epidemic at our Universities and in the left wing Media. Unfortunately things will only get worse with the flood of predominately Muslim illegal alleged Asylum seekers /refugees. The Muslim s do not leave their intolerance , prejudice racism and sectarian violence in the Middle East they bring it to Australia. The Iranian, Afghan, Pakistani, Iraqi, Somali, Sudanese and Palestinians that bribe their way here have been indoctrinated on Antisemitism since young and they use israel bashing as a cover. Sydney which is a Lebanese stronghold is becoming like parts of Europe it is unfortunate that many naive Jews in Australia similar to many of their ancestors in 1930's Europe are sticking their heads in the sand and are even advocating for more Muslim immigration via the illegal Asylum seeker scam.
