American women are sprinkled throughout the top 100 in the WTA rankings (12 in all), including three of the top-nine players in the world (Lindsay Davenport, Venus Williams and Serena Williams), but as far as I can tell, there aren't too many promising studs on the horizon.
After the No. 2 Davenport and the Williams sisters, who are seventh and ninth, respectively, in the rankings, the United States accounts for only nine of the next 91 players, and none of 'em appear to have a shot at a major title.
Granville is followed by No. 67 Mashona Washington, the 29-year-old younger sister of former ATP performer MaliVai Washington, the 1996 Wimbledon runner- up. An eventual Wimbledon runner-up herself she's not.
The African-American Washington is followed by 32-year-old Lisa Raymond (69th) and then 19-year-old African-American Jamea Jackson, the first legitimate youngster (in terms of age only) on the list of Yanks. But whether she's young or old, no one is viewing the No. 76 Jackson as a present or future Grand Slam contender.
The Americans in the top 100 round out with No. 77 Amy Frazier, No. 83 Shenay Perry and No. 85 Abigail Spears. I don't wanna say Frazier's old...actually, I do, considering she just turned 33 this week, which officially makes her a relic. At least Perry's only 21 and Spears is 24, but, let's face it, neither of these women are what you would call rising stars in the women's game.
Sure, Americans accounted for half the Grand Slam finalists this year (that's 4-of-8 if you're counting at home), but they were the usual suspects. The 23- year-old Serena beat the 29-year-old Davenport in the Aussie Open final, and the 25-year-old Venus topped Davenport in the Wimbledon finale.
So, where are the promising kids?
The rising stars are not coming out of the U.S. right now, they're coming from places like Slovenia (Jelena Jankovic), Serbia (Ana Ivanovic), the Czech Republic (Nicole Vaidisova), Germany (Anna-Lena Groenefeld), Russia (Anna Chakvetadze), China (Shuai Peng), India (Sania Mirza), Bulgaria (Sesil Karatantcheva), and so on.
Don't look now, but for the third time in three years the Americans failed to place a woman in the final of our Open -- the U.S. Open. Belgium's Kim Clijsters beat France's Mary Pierce in the 2005 final just two weeks ago; Svetlana Kuznetsova bested Elena Dementieva in the 2004 all-Russian title match; and Justine Henin-Hardenne topped Clijsters in an all-Belgian affair in 2003.
Prior to '03, at least one American (Davenport, Venus or Serena) had appeared in the U.S. Open final for six straight years, including three all-American bouts. But let's not forget that before Davenport, Venus and Serena, there was an American-born-woman finalist drought at the Open that lasted for 12 years. Yes, 12 years without an American-born woman in the U.S. Open final from 1985-1996. After Chris Evert lost to Martina Navratilova in the 1984 final, the U.S. failed to place another woman in the title match until Venus lost to Swiss Martina Hingis in 1997.
Where are the young Davenports, Venuses and Serenas? Quite frankly, I don't know.
A possibility could be 16-year-old Californian Alexa Glatch, who reached the junior girls' final at the Open earlier this month, only to lose to top-seeded Belarusian Victoria Azarenka in straight sets. Glatch was also the junior girls doubles runner-up at the Open, playing alongside fellow 16-year-old countrywoman Vania King.
In only her second WTA-level event, Glatch reached a semifinal in Forest Hills last month, but lost to the rising 34th-ranked Mirza in straights. And Glatch made her U.S. Open main draw debut a few weeks ago and reached the second round before falling to the world No. 17 Jankovic.
The still-growing Glatch, who's listed at 5-foot-11 and 145 pounds, was named the 2003 Junior Player of the Year by Inside Tennis Magazine. The Newport Beach native is a respectable 3-3 in her WTA matches this year.
Glatch aside, the young talent appears a bit thin on the U.S. side.

The City of Sharjah[edit]
The location of the university enhances its mission. Sharjah is a global trade center and a city of learning and the arts, as confirmed by its 1998 UNESCO designation as the Cultural Capital of the Arab World.
Campus Life and Services[edit]
The Campus Complex[edit]
AUS is the flagship institution of University City, a 1,600 acre complex that includes other educational establishments. The university offers students full-facility dormitories, a sports complex, and a gym. Other amenities include a health center, a pharmacy, a bank, a post office, a barbershop, a ladies beauty salon, and two convenience stores. The distinctive architecture of the domes and arches of the academic and administrative buildings is accentuated with graceful Arab motifs.
The center of the AUS campus comprises 12 academic buildings. The academic buildings house classrooms and lecture halls of various sizes; a state-of-the-art library; science, language, computer and engineering laboratories; workshops, digital studios and dark rooms; and offices for faculty, academic administrators, and support staff.
The campus includes student residential halls (for men and for women) as well as a large Sports Complex and a Student Center. Approximately 40 percent of the student body lives in campus housing. Unlike most American universities, AUS requires faculty members and their families to live on campus with the intention of providing students with a learning and living environment that allows for on-going interaction with faculty members and their families. [5]
Testing and Professional Development Center[edit]
The AUS Testing and Professional Development Center serves as a central point of testing for both the AUS campus and the community. The center accommodates the placement tests for newly AUS admitted students as well as university testing. The center is part of the ETS Strategic Testing Network and offers the ETS Internet-based TOEFL as well as an institutional paper-based TOEFL in addition to other testing services.
AUS is also the sole testing center in the United Arab Emirates for the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (FE) and Professional Engineering Exam (PE) administrated by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) in the USA. [6][7]
AMIDEAST Amideast, one of the region's most prominent international testing administrators, is an AUS testing partner and has a permanent office on the AUS campus to administer TOEFL tests (paper-based) on aregular basis, as well as other recognized international tests.[8][9][10]
The AUS Library, an 11,000-square-meter state-of-the-art facility, provides collections, services and programs to support the curricular and research needs of the university community. The majority of the library's rapidly growing physical collection of 125,000 items is in English; however, there are also materials available in Arabic. An online catalog system can be used to search for library materials from any location on or off campus. Using the library website, students and faculty can access e-books, online databases, full-text journals and other digital resources. The AUS library houses a collection of more than 212,000 items, including 122,000 hard-copy items (books, CDs, DVDs, etc.), 90,000 electronic books, 250 journalsin print, and 50 online databases and indexes that are accessible locally and remotely. The library works in conjunction with all parts of the university to provide academic resources for all classes taught at AUS. Facilities include PC workstations, an 'information commons' computer environment, two computer classrooms for teaching information literacy and research skills, book, study spaces, including group study and presentation rooms, media preview rooms; circulation/reserves and research help desks and self-checkout stations. The seating capacity is approximately 900 or 20 percent of the current student population. The AUS Archives department is a repository for institutional records that have been created by various academic and administrative departments of the university. The mission of the Archives department is to collect, maintain, preserve, and make available records that are of historical or legal value, as well as records that document the development of the university and the various campus activities.[11][12]
AUS offers a shuttle bus service between the student residential halls and other areas of campus. The Transportation Services can also provide transportation to the cities of Sharjah, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. Transportation Services also provides information on local taxi and rental car services. [www.aus.edu/transportation]

Hail & Rain Damage, Garden Progress
Saturday, 09 Jun 12 Sunny 32°C / 90°F
(Backdated to Sunday to make the transplant dates work. Written on Monday June 11, 2012).
On Friday there was more rain and another batch of hail. The gardens are really suffering. Spinach which looked great a week ago is yellowed and bolting, the tomatoes are yellowed (and it rained before I could get them all staked, so I am crossing my fingers and hoping that my emergency staking and pruning will protect them from blight), beans and seedlings are torn up, and the soil was super wet until today.
Given that I have maybe 100 more frost free days (with some emergency row cover application if necessary) I felt I had no choice this weekend but to work the wet soil. On Saturday I managed to get the tiller to work: after clearing long weeds I tilled the beds which held beans/peas in 2011. I also tilled over the area that I had dug by hand and the space which I had previously tilled after a heavy rainfall.
On Sunday I hilled the soil up to make beds for corn, squash and greens (in the spot where the beans/peas were last year.) I also hilled up 50' long raised beds in the dug & tilled area. Then I transplanted the peppers and eggplants. At the end of the eggplant row I planted the 'Kakai Hulless' pumpkins.
Today (Monday) I got up at 5:30 and worked in the garden until about 10:30. By which time it was 27 with a humidex of 33. I planted pickling cucumbers, three kinds of watermelon, corn, and winter squash. We're supposed to get 5mm of rain tomorrow which I hope will be just enough to water the transplants and the seeds, but not so much as to flood the garden.

Cripes! I hate hail…it's one of my biggest garden nightmares. Blight's the other.
Sounds like you're shepherding your flocks well, though…there's only so much we can do when nature starts throwing icy rocks at our plants.
Which reminds me, I haven't staked my tomatoes either, and need to get on that right away!

@blurdom thanks, "there's only so much we can do when nature starts throwing icy rocks at our plants" gave me a good chuckle – especially since I actually started trying to tell the hail to stop in the most recent attack; good thing my neighbours are not close by enough to hear me!
@glgardener yes, lots of rain. Last year we had lots of rain until about the first week of June and then basically no rain until late July, I'm not sure which is worst. It's raining again today, though it at least seems fairly slow & steady. I was looking at my garden map and I'm nearly back on track time-wise, so I'm hopeful that in a few weeks I will be able to get into a pretty good harvest, weed, water, pattern.

Home pregnancy tests use a sample of a woman's urine to detect
the presence of a hormone (called human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG) that is
produced during pregnancy. If the test is positive for the hormone, it usually
means the woman is pregnant.
These tests are available without a
prescription, and their accuracy varies. If used correctly, the best tests can
detect hCG as early as the first day of a missed menstrual period (about 14
days after conception). A first morning urine sample (which has accumulated in
the bladder overnight) provides the most accurate test results.

Delta Air Lines has inaugurated flights from Salt Lake City International airport to Chicago and Lincoln, Nebraska, two of ten routes launched from the Utah capital yesterday.
The SkyTeam alliance member is flying Boeing 737-800 aircraft to Chicago Midway International airport seven times per week.
Regional partner SkyWest operates Bombardier CRJ200s to the Lincoln airport as Delta Connection seven times a week.
The new service is not without competition as Southwest Airlines connects Chicago Midway and Salt Lake using 737-300 and -700 aircraft, according to Innovata.
Chicago and Lincoln are two of ten new Delta offerings from Salt Lake.
SkyWest is also operating Delta Connection service using CRJ200s to Bismarck and Fargo, North Dakota, and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The regional is using a mixture of CRJ200s and CRJ900s on flights from Salt Lake City to Des Moines, Iowa.
SkyWest is also flying CRJ900s on Delta Connection flights to El Paso, Texas and CRJ700s on Milwaukee, Wisconsin links.
For flights from Salt Lake City to Indianapolis, Indiana and Nashville, Tennessee Delta is using Boeing MD-90s.
Carrier SVP network planning Bob Cortelyou says Delta timed the new flights to allow passengers to make connections in Salt Lake City to new international destinations including service to Tokyo that began 3 June.

Don't expect to see any baby Blakes or mini-Mirandas in the near future.
Though they're months away from celebrating their first wedding anniversary, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert aren't in any hurry to start a family.
PHOTOS: Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert's love story
"We just talked about that earlier this week, and I think we both agree that we're a couple of years away from seriously talking about that," Shelton, 35, told Us Weekly on Monday at the Cosmopolitan Fun Fearless Men and Women of 2012 Awards in New York.
VIDEO: How Miranda Lambert stays in shape
"It's just that there's a lot of this stuff that's happening right now, and it only happens once. We want to be able to enjoy this and focus on our careers so when it is time, we'll be ready to sit around and watch that happen."
Lambert, 28, already possesses several maternal qualities, Shelton added. "If she's anything with an actual human being like she is with dogs, the kid's gonna be golden!"
PHOTOS: 'The Voice' mentors; Then and now
Part of what Shelton loves most about his wife is that she does her own thing. "Did y'all see my wife? She came in here, took a picture and then made a beeline for the bar," "The Voice" mentor laughed. "She's like, 'Oh, you're gonna do interviews? OK, see ya later. I'll be at the bar!' And that's exactly what I'd have done to her."

Manufacturer: Wintec
Model: Isabelle
Category: Dressage Saddles
Purchase: I bought my saddle used 2 years ago from a 3-day eventer who no longer had the horse it fit. I got it for $750, including stirrup leathers, irons, saddle pad and saddle cover.
Likes: It is the most comfortable synthetic saddle I have ever had the pleasure to ride in. It looks good, it's durable enough for the trails and I really love the over-girth. My horse is rolly-polly, so he needs a little extra support. At first I had my doubts about the over-girth, thinking it would be worthless and annoying. I was proved very wrong. :) I like the billets, they are easy to deal with. Very supple! I also like the adjustable gullet. My saddle, with just the wide gullet, fits most of my horses.
Dislikes: I think the only thing I don't like is that the stirrup bars are difficult to get leathers into. What stirrup bars aren't though?!
Quality: It is beautifully made. You can tell the designers took a lot of time and put some thought into their construction of the saddle.
Summary: I loved the saddle so much I bought a 2nd one! Never under-estimate the power of Wintec.

Wisconsin Getting Huge New Scoreboard
A memo to any fans sitting in the Wisconsin student section during future games at Camp Randall Stadium: It's not a lunar eclipse that's blocking out the sun but rather a monstrosity of a new scoreboard.
Construction is under way on a giant video board which, when finished, will measure 50 feet high and 170 feet wide — nearly four times the size of the old scoreboard that used to tower above the Badgers' student section.
According to UW athletics, the video screen — the installation of which is scheduled to be completed in July — "will provide Wisconsin fans their first opportunity to enjoy video replays." Go big or go home, right?

When you first walk in the door, the aroma of malt and heavy dark wood with just a hint of wheat, lemon or sweetness lures you to a heavy well-balanced pub chair. If you are someone who appreciates the sensory experience of drinking beer, look no further than The Bulldog where we offer 60 delicately reared lager, ale and wheat taps are neatly arranged along the wall like crayons in a box.
We are most proud of our carefully handled draft beers from countries such as Germany, Australia, Ireland and The United States, with an expanded selection in bottles, served in a frosty mug or a room-temperature pint glass of your choice. You can even select Mississippi's own Lazy Magnolia or old standards like PBR and Miller Lite. We also offers a hefty grub menu featuring awesome grub such as Buffalo wings. nachos, crawfish banditos and heavier fares like sandwiches, burgers, Creole delicacies and pastas.
Our large, tree-lined patio provides a one-of-a-kind venue for socializing and enjoying our great grub and draft. It has a large screen hi-def TV that provides sports and special event viewing under the stars and always is filled with our great music through our rich sound system. There's no better place to enjoy a great beer on a beautiful afternoon or night.

Historical Traveler Reviews Mercure Rome Colosseum Centre
Exceeded my expectations
I am actually staying at the Mercure as I am typing this on the free internet computer located in their bar. I had an email need and this came in handy. I just landed in Rome from Service in Kuwait so I hope my perspective is not too skewed, but I was overjoyed with the big fluffy towels, the hairdryer and toiletries available - I had the best shower I have had in months - and I look forward to a great night's sleep in a comfortable bed. Aside from that, in comparison to places I stayed in London, Paris, Berlin and Prague - this hotel feels more along the lines of American standards, than European standards - again that is why my expectations were rather low. The staff has also been very friendly and helpful. It is a stones throw from the Colesseum/Forum - so if that is one of your destinations - the location is perfect. Now, the collesseum, on the other hand, could use a few renevations and some cleaning up - ha ha. Hope this helps - also I got a great internet deal from the mercure site that competes well with other internet offerings.
Location good - everything else bad
We stayed at this hotel for three nights at the end of April.
It is located a few minutes' walk from the Colosseum, which can even be seen from some of its rooms, but that is all that is good about it. When we opened our room door, we were greeted by part of the hem hanging down from the grey (probably originally white) net curtain. The room was small, and there was a pillar between the bed and the tv (the tv could however be moved). Although the windows were double glazed, we were on the front of hotel and were disturbed by the frequent ambulance sirens.
Breakfast was however the hotel's low point. There were a number of 'clean' plates on the buffet which still had the last guest's food remnants on them, and it was a struggle to find a 'clean' glass which didn't still have lipstick on it (one was also cracked for good measure).
I complained about the dirty plates, but that was all, because most of the staff seemed so disinterested that there didn't seem to be any point.
This hotel exists to give the staff jobs, not to offer the guests service. I won't stay here again, and it makes me wonder about other Accor hotels.
Very Disappointed
I do not require a room with all the perks--however a couple of things that are very important to me is a clean environment with helpful service. I found neither at this hotel. It was simply one of the worst hotel experiences I have had. Not only is the hotel in need of significant updating, but the carpet in both the corridors and in the guest rooms was rather worn and extremely filthy. The couch in the room was stained. The walls also need cleaning or a new coat of paint. Some of the rooms are terribly small-barely big enough to hold a twin size bed. As soon as I entered the hotel I really wanted to leave--but I was there on business and it was the hotel being used by our company. The staff was not very helpful either. The hotel lacks ambiance. If you are looking for a reasonably priced hotel, I recommend Via San Pio--a small, quaint well kept hotel--a little further out but still not too far from the Colleseum.
A great place to discover Roma
We stay 3 days on april 2004 in this hotel. We had a close but cosy room, with direct view on the Colosseo.
The staff is very kind and helpfull. Confortable bar/restaurant. Breakfast at international standart of these hotels level.
Inded the greatest advantage of this hotel is the location, close to the Colosseo and the forum.
Nice rooms
We stayed at Mercure Delta Colosseo, it was a free stay because of a bad stay at another hotel in their chain (not Rome).
On arrival (after unfortunately being ripped off by a taxi driver), we were greeted at reception, staff very friendly. We were given the key cards for room 509 (on the 5th floor), and were delighted to see that we had a double room with bathroom, shower, and separate sitting area with a 2nd tv. There was a balcony accessible from the bedroom, and the sitting room doors. The balcony was all glass, so not for sunbathing, and no furniture on it. We didn't use it, but it looked nice.
The room was clean and modern, and I'd say of a good 3* standard. I think they advertise as 4*. Our trip was in December, so swimming pool not open.
Breakfast was basic, I'm vegetarian, and just had bread and jam.
The hotel is nice, but I expect it is quite expensive. The rate displayed in our room was over 300 euros. Obviously that's the maximum rate.
Good value for money
Stayed there with my wife in May 2004. Location is great, we could see the Colosseum from our room. Also many other sights are within the walking distance. The staff was nice and very helpful.
There is also a bar, sundeck and swimming pool at the roof with a great view to Colosseum. For the best price book directly at ---accor--- (that goes also to all other Accor-hotels, e.g. Novotel and Sofitel). Breakfast was better than in any other Italian hotel I have stayed at, both in business and pleasure.
We had an excellent dinner at Hostaria Isidoro, Via di San Giovanni in Laterano 59, just 2 - 3 blocks from the hotel. I can warmly recommend the restaurant.
If you need a transportation to/from the airport, ask the hotel arrange a car. It was cheaper than a taxi.
July 2004 Visit
Great location! Walking distance to the colloseum as well as train station. We found everything in the previous reviews to be true. We needed 3 rooms, 1 triple and 2 doubles for 4 nights. The triple was excellent. Big and well air conditioned the 2 doubles were small, very warm and one of the rooms had a column about 1 foot in diameter from floor to ceiling at the foot of the bed. I went down stairs to one of the 3 computers in the lobby with free internet access and booked 3 rooms at the Mercure Piazza Bologna because I felt that the air conditioning wouldn't get any better. The rates were a lot less, the rooms were bigger and the air conditioning much better. Since there is a free hotel shuttle bus connecting all 3 Mercure hotels and the Termini train station in a 45 min. loop, we hopped on the shuttle and moved to the Piazza Bologna. Nothing of interest around there but the subway station is around the corner. Both hotels had great breakfasts and the staff at the Piazza Bologna hotel was very nice and very helpful. If you need to have a car, parking at both is 25 Euros! Cab ride from anywhere is 10-15 Euros. The Mercure Piazza Bologna was an excellent value for the money. The 3rd Mercure also looked newly renovated but out of the way.
Value for money
I've stayed for 5 days (Nov.2003). Near the Colosseum and excelent localization (bus, metro, train, airport transfer). Excelent value for money. Great breakfast. Free Internet Access. Good rooms.
Stayed Aug 2003
Excellent hotel.
A bit out of town (especially if you have kids) but great for the Colosseum. Outdoor roof pool very good.
Would highly recommend subject to caveat that walk into the centre is probably 15-30 mins.
In the heart of Rome
Stayed for 1 week - summer 2002 The hotel is about 2 blocks from the Colosseum. It is within easy walking distance of the Vatican and central Rome and about an hour's walk from the Bougese Gallery. The Terminii train station is about 1/2 hour away on foot and there is a subway station at the Colloseum. The property is at the higher end. The rooms are good to very good with air conditioning (definitely needed in the summer). The lobby area is very well kept and efficient. They offer a breakfast (in the room rate). Very good meal is offered to start the day. Free internet terminals in the lobby / bar. English speaking staff. There is a pool on the roof that offers spectacular views of the city at night (especially the Colloseum). Lots of restaurants towards the Colloseum and the centre of Rome. A bit pricey, but a good value and we would stay there again.

Finally found the cafe we were looking for - location on TripAdvisor is off. Caffe delle Studente was lovely. Friendly staff and a table in the dappled sun under the plane trees.

From the Publisher"...Nolan argues that America's therapeutic culture has recently moved from the cultural realm of "symbols and codes" to penetrate the institutions of the modern American state. By delineating sharply between the culture of the therapeutic and therapeutic poicymaking, Nolan's probing work provides an important new methodological frame with which to study the therapeutic."

Waves churned by 'Pablo' batter Davao Sur coastal village
More News from Orlando Dinoy
DIGOS CITY, Philippines—At least 15 houses on the shoreline of a coastal village in Don Marcelino town, Davao del Sur were damaged Monday night after being battered by huge waves churned by Typhoon "Pablo," the provincial disaster response office said Tuesday morning.
Roderick Milana, provincial disaster risk reduction management chief, said huge waves started to develop in Barangay Lindasan as early as 6:30 p.m. Monday, as Pablo approached Mindanao.
Seven of the houses, built from light materials, and a wooden paddle boat, were swept into the sea, Milana said.
Milana said huge waves also developed in Jose Abad Santos town, another coastal town adjacent to Don Marcelino.
Residents living near the shorelines had been evacuated and no casualty had been reported so far, he said.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(CCNMatthews - June 14, 2007) - Ambrilia Biopharma Inc. (TSX:AMB), a biopharmaceutical company developing novel small molecules and peptides to treat infectious diseases and cancer, held its Annual General and Special Meeting today, during which the data reported yesterday on its novel series of HIV integrase inhibitors and recent developments were highlighted. The meeting was chaired by the new Chairman of the Board, Mr. Frederic Porte, and a progress report was presented by Mrs. Monique Letourneau, Executive Vice-President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, followed by a scientific review presented by Dr. Bonabes de Rouge, Senior Executive Vice-President and Chief Scientific Officer.
"I would like to reiterate that the Board is committed to the success of Ambrilia. I look forward to guiding the Company as it continues to make advances in its key programs, and our productive relationship with Merck in the development of PPL-100", said Frederic Porte, Chairman of the Board of Ambrilia. "We are well advanced in the process of looking at strategic options for the Company and I believe this will enable us to be more focused as we move forward. Within the next number of months and even on into next year, our priorities will be the development of the HIV Integrase Program while bringing Octreotide and Goserelin closer to market", he concluded.
- Ambrilia's novel series of HIV integrase inhibitors were presented at the prestigious XVI International HIV Drug Resistance Workshop. These preclinical data showed their potential distinct mechanism of action, which may lead to a different resistance profile from known integrase inhibitors currently in clinical development by pharmaceutical companies. The Company is now accelerating its HIV Integrase Inhibitor Program and aims to have a drug candidate within the next 12 months.

No, no pins, relax.
I was meandering through stores Sunday afternoon, because I could (and because I was on my way out right after that), and I went through the clothing store on the east side of town square. You know, the one with all the 50th stuff in it? Okay, well if you pass through that to the even smaller store behind it (the one closest to the opera house and hat shop), you will find they have 7-17-05 dated merchandise in there. All they have left are those white women's t-shirts (serves them right for making something that small!), the shot glass (excuse me, the "toothpick holder"), and, and this is the good one: the coffee mug. The beautiful blue coffee mugs.
Thought you oughta know.

text: Corey O'Connor Council's Green Plans To Address Sewage Overflows In Area Rivers By Deanna Garcia • May 15, 2015 In anticipation of a wet weather plan from ALCOSAN, Pittsburgh City Council members Corey O'Connor and Deb Gross have introduced legislation aimed at helping some of the city's most vulnerable areas develop green infrastructure. Under a consent decree, the city, Allegheny County and the federal Environmental Protection Agency must develop a plan to keep raw sewage from overflowing and spilling into area rivers during wet weather. Some areas are harder hit than others, including part of Gross's district. Legislation Incentivizes Small Businesses to Raise Minimum Wage By Jessica Nath • Mar 4, 2015 401(K) 2012/Flickr Employees working at small businesses within Pittsburgh could see a raise in their paychecks. City Councilman Corey O'Connor introduced legislation Tuesday he hopes incentivizes small businesses (15 to 250 employees) to raise their wage for full-time employees – currently $7.25 – to $10.10 per hour. For restaurants employees who receive tips, the legislation aims to increase their minimum wage from $2.83 to $3.93 per hour. 2015 City Council Preview: Burgess, O'Connor, Kail-Smith By Liz Reid • Dec 24, 2014 This is the first in a three-part series looking ahead to the 2015 priorities with members of Pittsburgh City Council. Policy Change Will Increase City Pool Access for Low-Income Youth By Liz Reid • Jul 8, 2014 Photo courtesy Citiparks, City of Pittsburgh Swimming pools are the quintessential summer hangout for kids, but when Pittsburgh City Councilwoman Theresa Kail-Smith found out children were being turned away because they didn't have the right kind of pool passes, she decided to take action. City Council Tuesday unanimously passed a bill that will repeal a city policy preventing kids with pool passes received through youth groups and other organizations from using city pools during evenings and weekends. Kail-Smith said she wasn't even aware of the policy until some of her constituents complained. City Councilors O'Connor and Gross Lay Out Pittsburgh's New Land Bank Plan By Essential Pittsburgh • Mar 28, 2014 Peter Pawlowski / Flickr Listen Listening... / 37:16 Earlier this year District 7 Councilor Deb Gross introduced legislation to develop a Land Bank in Pittsburgh. The system would operate as a repository for properties that often have little prospect of redevelopment. District 5 Councilor Corey O' Connor is a supporter of the concept. He and Councilor Gross say the idea is to create a system to get abandoned properties publicly inventoried and marketed for re-use by neighbors, community groups, developers or realtors. Proximity to Downtown & Oakland Makes Hazelwood Prime for Revitalization By Nick Frost • Dec 10, 2013 Joseph A / Flickr Listen Listening... / 29:33 The history of the Pittsburgh neighborhood of Hazelwood predates the Revolutionary War. White settlers arrived in the 1750's, tore down towering Native American burial mounds and used the stones to pave a trail that became Second Avenue. By the middle of the 20th century it was home to more 30 thousand people and several thriving businesses. Today its population has dwindled to 5,000 residents and roughly a quarter of them live in poverty. With Mayor-elect Bill Peduto focused on Hazelwood because of its proximity to downtown and Oakland, it looks to be prime for development. Seldom Used Parking Ordinance Causes Confusion in Squirrel Hill By Katie Blackley • Sep 26, 2013 Nothlit / Flickr Listen Listening... / 18:33 After living in his Squirrel Hill home for 18 years, Dr. Jeff Freedman was surprised to receive a letter from the Bureau of Building Inspection asking him to acquire a Certificate of Occupancy. When he visited the specified location said to provide the certificate, he was told the document was unattainable. Thanks to a 1958 ordinance in Squirrel Hill, many residents are finding parking tickets on vehicles parked in their own driveways. Councilman: Pedestrian Flags Could Make Busy Intersections Safer By Liz Reid • Sep 18, 2013 If you've visited Austin, Salt Lake City, or Seattle lately, you may have noticed bins of brightly colored flags near busy intersections. They're meant to help pedestrians cross the street more safely, especially at night or in bad weather, when visibility is low. Now, City Councilman Corey O'Connor wants to bring the idea to Pittsburgh. "A pedestrian could grab a flag, put it out in front of them as they're walking, and it's just another way to alert drivers that you're attempting to cross the street," he said. Pittsburgh Council Bill Would Repeal Mayor's Special Expense Fund By Noah Brode • Apr 9, 2013 Pittsburgh City Councilman Corey O'Connor introduced a bill Tuesday to repeal a 1995 law that set up a special "imprest fund" from which the mayor could withdraw up to $10,000 at a time for travel expenses. O'Connor said he is not suggesting that Mayor Luke Ravenstahl or any other city leader used the fund illegitimately. Rather, he said his legislation simply requires the mayor to file for travel expenses via the same process used by all other city employees. Pittsburgh Council Considers Smoking Ban in City Playgrounds By Noah Brode • Mar 1, 2013 A bill in Pittsburgh City Council would prohibit smoking in the playground areas of city-owned parks. The legislation from Council Members Rev. Ricky Burgess, Corey O'Connor, and Bruce Kraus was held for two weeks on Wednesday so Council could get an opinion from Michael Radley, the Director of Citiparks, before passing the measure. Councilman Burgess called it a common sense regulation.

US stocks rocket after fiscal cliff deal; Nasdaq up 3.1%
Published on Jan 3, 2013 6:21 AM
NEW YORK (AFP) - United States (US) stocks took off flying on the first trading day of the new year on Wednesday after Congress reached a last-minute deal to avert the fiscal cliff, avoiding forcing the economy back into recession.
The S&P 500 soared 2.5 per cent, its best rise since Dec 20, 2011, as traders shrugged off the specter that a new deficit fight between Democrats and Republicans was just weeks away to go on a buying spree.
The Dow Jones Industrial Index closed up 308.41 points (2.35 per cent) at 13,412.55.
The broad-based S&P 500 added 36.23 (2.54 per cent) at 1,462.42, while the Nasdaq outperformed with a 92.75 point gain, or 3.07 per cent, to 3,112.26.

I live my life a product made to crumble
from 2Pac (Ft. Outlawz) – Hail Mary Lyrics on Genius
His life is like heroin or cocaine which are both "products made to crumble"
Also a reference to the planned obsolescence in manufacturing and designing everyday products like phones and cars
Suggesting that his kind — young black males in the ghetto — are set up for failure
Also, Pac could've meant that his life is a sacrifice. He was quoted saying:
I'm not saying I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world."
This is probably why he is saying his life is a product made to crumble. When he came in the game he talked about not compromising his music for nothing. He had a platform and he know he was going to die for the wise words he was speaking.

281 new courts created in regions, says Escudero
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
It's a record of sorts.
At least 281 courts have been created nationwide by the Senate in a bid to ease congestion in court cases, according to the head of the Senate justice committee.
"This is the first time that the Senate has approved this many new courts," Sen. Francis "Chiz" Escudero said.
Escudero's committee shepherded the creation of one regional trial court in the Ilocos, two in Cagayan Valley, 25 in Central Luzon, 80 in Calabarzon and Mimaropa, three in Eastern Visayas and six in Zamboanga Peninsula.
One municipal trial court was created in the Ilocos, 10 in Calabarzon, 31 in Central Visayas, two in Northern Mindanao and 27 in the Davao region.
"The Filipino people put their trust in us for a reason," said Escudero. "Let the numbers do the talking for us," he said.
Escudero also said lawmakers should open the use of their Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) to public scrutiny.
Escudero said his use of the PDAF has already been made available to the public via the Internet. He dared other lawmakers to do the same.

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds

Certainly, Death and the Ploughman is a fascinating document. A dialogue written by Johannes von Saaz in 1401 upon the death of his young and beloved wife, it encompasses both sophisticated theological arguments and a moving description of a crisis of faith. Yet the text isn't in the least theatrical. Death (a dapper Steven Webber) and the Ploughman (Will Bond) trade protracted, liturgical arguments, unrelieved by the exigencies of action or character or much of anything.
As in most SITI productions, director Ann Bogart complements the language with an arcane choreography of gesture. Though lovely, the swoops and darts don't illuminate or even really punctuate the endless talk. The actors seem to enjoy the complex blocking, but it rarely encourages them to deviate from smugness (Death) or sorrow (Ploughman). Ellen Lauren, as the late and mostly silent wife vacillates between puzzlement and annoyance. Eventually, the quarrel reaches such a standstill that God himself must settle it. Yet even God can't much improve the inertia. He decides, "You have both fought well. Therefore, to you [Ploughman] goes the honor. And to you, Death, goes the victory." Since when does God give split decisions?
