Luc Brodeur-Jourdain
Als' O-line says they've stepped it upThere was a time, it seemed, when the Canadian Football League's outstanding offensive lineman seemed to regularly came from the Alouettes. Over a 13-year period, between 1999 and 2011, no fewer than six Montreal players captured the award — including Scott Flory, a back-to-back winner in 2008-09.
Alouettes' notebookOn a day that belongs to Anthony Calvillo, there's not enough praise and kudos former coaches and players could lavish on the legendary Alouettes' quarterback, professional football's passing leader.
Zurkowsky: Using two running backs may be key for AlouettesThe numbers are very uncharacteristic of Brandon Whitaker. In the Alouettes' last four games, the veteran tailback has averaged 2.6 yards, 5.3, 2.5 and 1.9. And yet, Whitaker is second in the Canadian Football League in rushing yards, with 431, although he has yet to crack the 100-yard barrier in a game.
Whyte hopes to cement hold on Als' kicking positionHeading into last winter, it seemed virtually certain kicker Sean Whyte wouldn't return to the Alouettes. He was a potential free agent and, by season's end, had been replaced as the team's punter by Burke Dales. Instead, Whyte re-signed with Montreal — before testing the market. Dales retired and Ray Rychleski, the Als' former special teams coordinator, wasn't invited back, despite having another year on his contract.

Long-Stay Tourists & Expats! New Stricter Visa Regulations
Since 2014, a number of changes to the visa rules have been announced by Thai immigration. You can find a summary of the main changes here or at the bottom of this page. For further details, please also view our dedicated Thai visa section.
Visa Run to Savannakhet – Trip Report
It was that dreaded time of the year again. Your webmaster's visa was about to expire and he had to go on a "visa run" to get a new permission to stay in Thailand.
Same as six months earlier, our destination was Savannakhet in Laos, located on the banks of the Mekong river and just across the border from Mukdahan in Isaan.
Why Savannakhet – which isn't exactly the most happening city in the region and a minimum 12-hour bus ride from Pattaya?
Truth be told, mainly because the Thai consulate there has an excellent reputation for issuing double-entry tourist visas and is nowhere near as crowded as the consulate in Vientiane … READ MORE
New Photo Gallery – Thai "Pretties"
Thailand's so-called "pretties" are product and event presenters that make a living by being just what they are – pretty. Any kind of promotional event would be virtually unthinkable without the presence of the typically big busted "pretties".
Being "pretty" isn't just an attribute for natural feminine charms in Thailand – it's a downright job title and hasn't always come about all that naturally but often cost quite a bit of money – and all sorts of cosmetic surgery procedures.
We've now compiled a selection of the sexiest snapshots of the hottest Thai "pretties" our "in-house" photographer has taken over the years. Enjoy!
Pattaya Travel Guide – From Fishing Village to "Funtown"
Since Pattaya's "discovery" by U.S. soldiers in the 1960s and its rapid transformation from a virtually unknown fishing village to one of Thailand's most popular tourist destinations, Pattaya has gone through some significant changes but has always remained loyal to its good old "Funtown" image.
Less than a two-hour drive from Bangkok and Suvarnabhumi Airport, Pattaya has become famous for its tropical beaches, dozens of nearby tourist attractions, excellent restaurants and shopping facilities but, most notably, its world-famous nightlife and "sex industry" that kick-started Pattaya's boom as a tourist destination in the 1960s.
Pattaya in the 21st century, however, can no longer be reduced to its bustling nightlife, thousands of beer bars, nightclubs and massage parlours. While the city's "adult entertainment industry" certainly still plays a major role in attracting tourists to Funtown, more and more couples and families, many from emerging source markets, have discovered Pattaya in recent years as their new favourite destination, urging the city to refocus also on the needs of this new breed of tourists.
Indeed, Pattaya today is more than just the old "Disneyland for adults" and has something on offer for everyone – young and old, single and couples, families and pensioners alike.
If lazy sunbathing on Pattaya beach and shopping sprees on traditional markets fail to satisfy your adventurous soul, then how about a jet ski or banana boat ride? Some of the "must-see" tourist attractions include, for example, the Sanctuary of Truth, Pattaya's own version of a "Floating Market", Crocodile Farm and Elephant Village. Other popular daytime activities include a boat trip to Koh Larn island just off the coast off Pattaya, scuba diving, deep-sea fishing or bungy jumping, to name but a few.
And if you don't like being stuck in the same place for the entire length of your holiday, Pattaya is a perfect starting point for round trips and excursions to other popular tourist spots like Bangkok, Koh Chang, Ayutthaya, or the bridge on the River Kwai.
Rest assured that no matter what you're looking for, you can be sure you'll find it in Pattaya! And if you're more into, eh, night-time activities, just scroll a bit further down …

Pattaya Nightlife – "Disneyland for Adults"
Having said that Pattaya is in the process of revamping itself as a suitable destination also for families – if you're a single male tourist visiting Pattaya, your folks back home will hardly believe you that you're coming here merely for the beautiful beaches, fascinating temples and deliciously spicy Thai food. Guess what, their disbelief is justified!
But let's assume you were really so naive. Even then – if you've studied Pattaya's history carefully or just stroll down the city's beach promenade or (in)famous Walking Street after dark, you simply can't ignore the "naughty" side of this self-proclaimed city of extremes.
And well, you may have read somewhere in a book on Asian culture that prostitution, in spite of not being "strictly legal", has a lively and much longer tradition in Thailand than modern-day mass or "sex" tourism and is deeply ingrained in its culture?
Sure, more than half a century after U.S. soldiers "discovered" Pattaya as a R&R destination, Pattaya is still a true "Disneyland for adults" and particularly single male mammals. After all, it's only fair to assume that Pattaya's nightlife and bar industry, with an endless supply of beautiful Thai girls from the countryside, were the main incentives for the soldiers of the Vietnam war era to fall for Pattaya so quickly!
Yep, now we're talking about Pattaya's notorious nightlife and "sex industry", with literally thousands of bars and nightclubs, discos, pubs and A-GoGo bars; last but not least – let's face this pretty fact – Pattaya's beautiful and charming ladies.
In our extensive nightlife section, we'll sneak a peek at what you may expect in a typical Pattaya "girlie" bar. Learn how to spot a ladyboy; how much to pay for a "lady drink" or a so-called "bar fine"; what's the difference between a traditional Thai and "body massage" – and all the sexy rest of it.
To start with, why not just have a look around our popular nightlife pictures and video galleries to get a feel for what's awaiting you in Funtown? We're sure you'll acquire a taste for it very very quickly.

Long-Stay Tourists & Expats! New Stricter Visa Regulations
It's certainly never been easy for expats and long-stay tourists to obtain a proper visa for Thailand that allows them to stay in the kingdom for longer than just a couple of weeks or months. Since August 2014, this certainly hasn't become any easier.
Not only were the official requirements for certain types of Non-Immigrant visa tightened in several countries – a number of general changes to the visa rules have also been announced by immigration.
While it still remains to be seen how strictly the new regulations will be enforced, here's a summary of the main changes. More detailed information can be found most conveniently in the visa section of our website and on our frequently updated Visa News page.
- Starting from August 2014, out/in visa runs, e.g., to the Cambodian or Lao border, including out/in "visa runs by air", are basically a thing of the past. The Nation reported on July 15: "From August 13, people [who have not obtained a visa prior to their visit to Thailand] will not be able to re-enter the country, regardless of their choice of transport".
In other words: If you haven't obtained a visa prior to your visit to Thailand but wish to stay longer than just for a holiday, then "visa runs" are no longer a viable option to extend your stay in the kingdom, but you're advised to apply for a tourist visa at your local Thai embassy or consulate in advance.
A single-entry tourist visa is good for a 60-day stay in Thailand and can now be extended locally for another 30 days. If you wish to wish to stay in Thailand more or less "permanently", you should obtain an appropriate (Non-immigrant) visa prior to entering the country.
- In summer 2014, it was reported that tourists and expats who overstay their visa for more than 90 days might get blacklisted in the future, i.e. banned from returning to Thailand for 1-10 years. Until now, tourists who overstayed their visa were usually simply fined 500 Baht per day up to a maximum fine of 20,000 Baht; only when an "overstayer" was caught within the kingdom, he/she faced arrest and deportation; overstayers were not blacklisted.
According to the new proposed rules, foreigners who overstay their visa for 90+ days would automatically get blacklisted for a period of 1-10 years, depending on the length of their overstay. The new rules were reported to take effect late August 2014, however, have not been approved as yet, and the whole hurly-burly might have been false alarm only.
- New stricter requirements for ED visa extensions have gone into effect on August 29, 2014. Until then, the same ED visa could be used to study the same subject, e.g. Thai language, for up to five years; the student did not have to leave Thailand but could simply extend his visa at the local immigration office every 90 days.
Under the new rules, an ED visa is valid for a maximum of one year only, provided that the student studies the required amount of hours per week (otherwise an extension may be rejected and the visa cancelled). After one year you will have to leave the country and apply for a new ED visa.
In addition, Thai language students will now also have to attend classes 4 days a week, for two hours per class, in order to extend an ED visa, effectively doubling the hours of study. If students don't study the required amount of hours per week, their visa will not be extended. Also, when extending their visa for 90 days, ED visa holders will initially be given only a 15-day extension. At the end of this "evaluation period" they must go back to Immigration and will be granted another 75-day extension. This post and this thread at ThaiVisa.com discuss the new rule in more detail.
- Tourist visa applications have not been affected by the new rules. As an immigration official in Chiang Mai confirmed on August 20, 2014, "there is no limit to the number of tourist visas you can apply for, nor is there a minimum time limit between each one." He also confirmed that a multiple-entry tourist visa will "allow you to exit and enter Thailand however many times you have been granted."
In any case, tourist visa applicants should always be prepared to prove they are in fact tourists and, if required, be able to produce a confirmed airline ticket, hotel booking etc. Some Thai consulates may also be more lenient than others.
- Last but not least, there are also some good news. Effective from August 29, 2014, tourists can extend their 30-day visa-exempt stay in Thailand by a further 30 days, not just seven days as previously. All you need to do is visit your local immigration office after your first 30 days have expired and apply for a 30-day extension at a fee of 1,900 Baht; effectively giving you 60 days of stay without having to apply for a visa. Just expect that you'll be asked to produce a confirmed air ticket out of the country within the 30 days of extension, hotel booking confirmation, and possibly proof of sufficient funds. If you cannot produce an air ticket out of Thailand within 30 days, you will most likely be given only a 7-day extension as previously and have to leave the country within a week.

The father of world's first action figure G.I. Joe, Donald Levine, has passed away. He was 86.
According to his wife, Levine, who was battling cancer, took his last breath at the Home and Hospice Care of Rhode Island, Fox News reported.
They were about to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary, she added.
Levine, who had served in the Army had admitted to have came up with the idea of '11½-inch articulated figure with 21 moving parts' as a way to honor veterans, and had developed the toy with his team as Hasbro's head of research and development.
The toy, which hit shelves in the 1964, had gained immense popularity and has spawned comic books, cartoons, and movies since then.
Levine, who is survived by his wife, three children and four grandchildren will be paid final respects at Temple Beth-El in Providence on May 25.

Obama Mentions Romney, Makes Fun Of Him For Calling GOP Budget "Marvelous"
And the general election begins.
President Barack Obama name-checked his all-but-certain Republican opponent Mitt Romney for the first time in recent memory today, and dinged him for supporting the GOP budget put forward by Rep. Paul Ryan.
Obama poked fun at Romney for describing the budget as "marvelous — which is a word you don't often hear about budgets," he said, pausing to grin as the crowd of newspaper publishers and editors chuckled: "That's a word you don't often hear generally," Obama added, before launching into a point-by-point rebuttal of the budgdet, "so here's what this marvelous budget does."
Obama said the budget "makes the Contract with America look like the New Deal," quoting former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich calling the first iteration of the plan "right wing social engineering."
"It's A trojan horse disguised as a deficit reduction plan," Obama said, warning of cuts to entitlement programs and other areas of government spending.
"Reagan could not get through a Republican primary today," he added during the question and answer session, saying he would have been disqualified because he supported some tax increases.

9 Employees You Should Fire Today
The Mini-Me
This person admires the team leader enormously. Clearly, they hope to fill those shoes one day, and to be every bit as good. So they mimic the boss's mannerisms, parrot the phrases, and mirror the gestures. While the manager might be a great leader, completely worth emulating, no one thinks it is necessary to have TWO of him or her.

On January 24, a Joint Powers Authority established by San Bernardino County decided not to pursue a proposal under which the County would use eminent domain power to seize underwater mortgages from private trusts and provide principal reduction for the borrowers. In announcing the decision, the chairman of the Authority explained that the decision was based on warnings from experts about the destabilizing effect on the housing market such a policy would have, and noted that county residents did not favor the proposal. Instead, the Authority approved an agreement to work with banking, mortgage, real estate, and investment firms to connect homeowners with appropriate mortgage assistance programs. San Bernardino had been closely watched since it began pursuing the concept last year. Its decision could portend how other localities will proceed. At least one recent report indicates that several other localities that have been considering eminent domain proposals already were wary of the concept even before San Bernardino's decision.

View all NCAA Men's Basketball scores for 11/19/2010
St. Thomas, VI (Sports Network) - Ben Finney scored 15 points on 6-of-12 shooting, leading Old Dominion to a 59-52 win over Saint Peter's in the quarterfinals of the Paradise Jam Tournament.
Kent Bazemore added 14 points for the Monarchs (2-1), who advanced to play the winner of Friday's matchup between Long Beach State and Clemson in the semis. Keyon Carter and Darius James both contributed with eight points, while Frank Hassell and Trian Illadis scored six points apiece.
Ryan Bacon tallied a game-high 16 points for the Peacocks (0-2), who opened their season with a loss to Robert Morris. Steven Samuels had 13 points, while Nick Leon scored 11 in defeat.
The teams played to a 20-20 tie in the first half, and a 10-0 burst by the Monarchs early in the second half gave Old Dominion a 35-27 lead on a Bazemore jumper with just under 16 minutes left.
Saint Peter's fought back to tie the game at 40-40, but Old Dominion answered with seven straight points to take the lead for good.
Illadis drained a three with 5:48 left to give the Monarchs a 47-40 advantage, though a layup from bacon and a three-pointer from Jeron Belin had the Peacocks within two with 4:20 to play.
Finney's jumper and James' long distance basket with 1 1/2 minutes left restored the seven-point margin, and Saint Peter's didn't get within four down the stretch.

- The total has gone OVER in 6 of St. Louis's last 7 games at home
It wasn't all that long ago that the St. Louis Blues were crashing out of the playoffs at the hands of the Los Angeles Kings. Now, the Blues will get a chance to exact just a bit of revenge on the defending Stanley Cup champs on Monday night in NHL betting action.
Things really are getting worse, not better for the Kings. They're really finding the sledding tough right now, knowing that they have a gigantic bulls-eye on their back. This is the final game of a five-game road trip in which LA has just two points to show for its work thus far. The team has 10 goals, eight of which came in the first two games of the road trip, and it has allowed 15 goals. You knew that matters were bad on Sunday when the Kings ripped off 47 shots on goal against G Jimmy Howard and scored just twice, proving that this is again a relatively inept team offensively. The club is really going to have to get up off of the mat in a hurry, as this trip to Scottrade Arena really isn't going to help matters any. Not only do the Kings have to get shots, but quality shots at that in order to beat the great St. Louis goaltenders.
If you thought that this current road trip was bad for the Kings, check out the current home stand that the Blues are on. They have lost all three of their games, and for a team that prides itself on its defense and goaltending, they have allowed 16 goals in those games. Four straight clubs have put either five or six up on St. Louis, and that obviously isn't going to cut it. The last time we saw G Jaroslav Halak was back on February 1st, and he has been activated from the injured reserve at just the right time. Halak was 3-0 with a 2.10 GAA and a .889 save percentage before getting hurt with a groin injury against the aforementioned Red Wings, and this is expected to be his first game back in the starting lineup since that point. If this isn't the moment that St. Louis turns it around, we don't know when that moment truly will be.
This is almost like the moveable force against the resistible object right now. We think that the Blues are going to be the team to beat, though. At least they're scoring some goals, and they have their better goaltender coming back to the forefront to hopefully play the role of savior. If that's the case, the hosts should at least salvage two points on this home stand.
Los Angeles Kings @ St. Louis Blues Pick: St. Louis Blues

We first made this clutch in a beautiful violet color which was inspired by the fashions worn on the starlets from the Golden Era. Once we made it in black, we realized that the entire look of the bag completely changed. What was once a feminine and sultry looking clutch suddenly appeared very "biker chic". So, of course, we loved it.
This ultra sexy bag gives flare to even the simplest of outfits. Fringe trims the bottom of the bag and it moves with you as you walk. There are two zipper pockets on the bag, one on the front and one on the back. Bar/restroom hook on the back for convenience.

Professor David Brat: Testing Ayn Rand's Moral Foundations of Capitalism
If you've read any news about Prof. David Brat you'd not only know he ousted Majority House Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) but also know that his interests include Ayn Rand. One of his papers is repeatedly mentioned: "An Analysis of the Moral Foundations in Ayn Rand." Not only did the WSJ mention the paper but so did Mother Jones, NPR, Vox, AlterNet and a slew of others. Yet, nobody bothered tracking down the paper -- only the title mattered.Read More

More useful links for Amsterdam
The most popular time to take flights to Amsterdam is from the start of the warm weather, when the tulips bloom, through to early autumn. In spring and summer the weather is usually good, with open-air dining on sidewalks and canal boats. Consequently, hotels are hard to come by and the city is very crowded. Try to avoid the height of the summer if you can. If you do take a flight to Amsterdam during this time, be prepared for both cool and very hot weather. September and October are less crowded than the summer, ideal time to pick up a cheap flight to Amsterdam, the weather is often quite lovely. This is an ideal time for the beautiful low-angle light depicted in Dutch landscape paintings.
Peak season:
The most common – and arguably best - time to take a flight to Amsterdam is between April and September, as the temperature and daylight hours are more favourable for those seeking outdoor adventures (although it's worth remembering that the weather is slightly temperamental at all times of year). The most crowded and expensive time to visit Amsterdam is the tulip season (April to mid-May) and July and August. The sun shining does make a difference to the feel of the city, with a much more cosmopolitan vibe in the air, but the benefits of this must be balanced with the drawback of the bustling crowds.
Off season:
Most cultural events are scheduled from September through June, so if you go in the cold winter months (December-March), there will be plenty to do and fewer people trying to do it. And if you're there during one of the winters when the canals freeze, you can join Amsterdam's residents on skates which is a lovely way to see the city.
If you're looking to avoid the hustle and bustle, any time outside of the peak season would be your best bet to visit, with cultural events starting up in September – the Jordaan Festival in late September and Museum Night [Museumnacht] in November are both not to be missed. Whilst the cooler –often just outright cold – months between December and March are less popular with visitors to the city, Amsterdam is particularly cosy throughout this time, making it attractive to some travellers. Expect popular attractions such as the Anne Frank Museum [Anne Frank Huis] to still be busy. Christmas is a clear exception to the off-peak rule, as tourists flock to experience the festivity of the city in its holiday grandeur.
When is the cheapest time of year to fly to Amsterdam?
Cheap flights to Amsterdam can be found relatively easily at almost any time of year. The best way to secure these is to search a couple of weeks in advance and to remain flexible with dates. As is expected, the most significant cost on even short breaks to Amsterdam will be hotels, so focussing on securing a good deal on an airfare over great value accommodation will usually not work out as cost-effective.
November and January are the cheapest months for tourists by far, and there are flight deals available for February and October too, although to a significantly lesser extent. Valentine's Day is broadly celebrated in Amsterdam, meaning that prices do rise with demand around the middle of February.
The capital of the Netherlands is famous for its waterways and those narrow 17th-century canal house as well as for its laid-back and liberal approach to life. It has unique charm which exists independent of the seasons, and as a culturally rich, historical city, has lots to offer even outside of its peak season. In fact, the Amsterdam experience is even better when the city is less busy with tourists and flights to Amsterdam are usually cheaper.
Its list of attractions is long. Major museums include the Rijksmuseum, Rembrandt House, and Van Gogh Museum, which has the world's largest collection of works by Vincent van Gogh. The Anne Frank House, where Anne wrote her diary, is now a popular museum.
Visit some of the city's lesser-known cultural gems such as the secret attic church (Our Lord in the Attic - Ons Lieve Heer op Solder), the Museum of Bags and Purses and the Amsterdam Tulip Museum.
Take a flight to Amsterdam and see the well-known tulips, which bloom annually between mid-March and May, blanketing the city and its surrounding fields in all shades of colour. Many see this specifically as the most favourable time to visit, and tourists flock to make the most of the city's natural beauty. The Keukenhof Gardens in particular become very busy around this time. The tulip bloom also happens to coincide with King's Day (formerly Queen's Day) – the celebration of the monarch's official birthday – which is celebrated on April 27th annually.
King's Day is celebrated with pop-up markets [vrijmarkt], street celebrations and outdoor parties. The canals quickly become packed full of revellers, all dressed in orange – the colours of the Dutch royal family. The city centres get extremely busy, as locals and excitable tourists alike gather together for this fun - and very Dutch - event. Whilst this isn't the time to take a quiet getaway, it is certainly a vibrant and very real reflection of an authentic Dutch celebration.
Back to top
Amsterdam has a mild, damp climate but the weather can be variable with temperature extremes even in summer. Spring and autumn especially bring changeable, unsettled weather. In the winter months clear, frosty days are the norm, the coldest months being December to March. Rain is likely all year round.
It's easy to walk around Amsterdam in just a few hours. You need to keep an eye out though – cars have the right of way and bikes, trams and buses crisscross the city. Rent a bike to speed up your pace without turning the city into a blur.
Amsterdam is a very bike-friendly city. Bike lanes and bike racks are plentiful. Make sure the light on your bike is working; you can be fined for riding without a light after dark. To travel beyond the city, it's easy to take the train or bus. It's cheaper to rent your car in the city. The Netherlands road network is very good.
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) is around 10 miles (16km) southwest of the city. Due to its size, there's a great, wide range of facilities there to keep you entertained if you have a couple of hours to waste. Alternatively, the short journey can be made in as few as 15 minutes if timed well. A direct rail service connects the plaza just below Schiphol Airport to Amsterdam's central railway station in between 15 and 20 minutes. Trains run regularly between early morning and late night. Airport shuttles are another great option and some can take you directly to your hotel – they service over 100 guesthouses throughout the city. Public buses are also available and run at various times – usually around every 15-30 minutes in daytime hours, and less frequently on weekends.Private taxis are available from outside the arrivals hall; book in advance via the Schiphol website or choose one upon arrival. The 15-30 minute trip.

I am in the middle of my forth week of being apart of my tiny team. There was a development-facing team restructuring at Altmetric where we decided to have fixed teams of just two or three people. That's a fairly small number, but there's a few reasons we're feeling more productive.
Our teams have gone from one team with everyone working on the same queue of work (the sprint); to two teams – one person handling support work and interruptions, whilst the rest focus on the sprint; to three tiny teams.
The tiny teams are working very well.
Self organising teams are lovely but your developers probably don't have the communication skills for it. I don't think I'm offending too many people by lumping us all together and saying that. Toes get stepped on, work is duplicated without realising, and interfaces accidentally end up clashing. We've JIRA boards to keep all that clear, but only really get updated when someone is prodded to.
None of this can happen in a tiny team of two people. Sharing progress becomes more concise, since updates are more frequent, and so quicker and clearer. There's hardly any need for tools for developers to keep up-to-date when you're sitting next to the person you're sharing the work with.
Another problem, which may stem from developers' social skills again, is in our bigger groups of four or five people finding a pairing partner is much harder. Should you interrupt Johnny to pair with, or wait for Shaun to be free? That choice is taken away when there's only two of you. If you're in need of a pair then you've only one place to turn.
The same indecision disappears when it comes to code review. You have to review your partner's work, no one else will. Whereas before you might shy away from reviewing an overly large pull request, you've now got to sit up and understand it.
Those are just a few of the reasons I'm excited about tiny teams at the moment.

Public hearing draws criticism from neighbors of proposed apartment complex site
Neighbors of the proposed zoning change in Rotterdam off Fuez Road have banded together to say they don't want apartments in their community.
The Rotterdam Town Board held a public hearing on Wednesday, March 9, for a comprehensive plan amendment and zoning change to 6.38 acres from A-1 Agriculture to R-3 Multi-Family Residential to make way for garden apartments to be built. A petition was presented to the board including 9 out of 10 residents living within 100 feet of the proposed zone change expressing opposition. With over 20 percent of the of the adjacent property owners signing a petition the board would need a super majority of the members to vote to approve the zoning change.
It is not a logical fit and would not add value to the area. It would destroy the character of an existing single family home neighborhood, said Elizabeth Contompasis, County Walk Road resident overlooking the proposed rezoning. "A property development of this sort would have a severe negative impact on our property value."
Many of the nearby residents that spoke said adding apartments to the neighborhood just really doesn't make sense with the surrounding one -family houses. There was also a concern raised about the safety of the community being affected.
"Rental property is not always kept up as nicely and statistically tends to increase crime reports," said Contompasis. "Even a nice apartment building does not ensure that in 10 years it would not be run down. I think the neighborhood would be better severed with single family owned housing."
Bill Barber, the developer for the proposed apartments, spoke out and said there shouldn't be the opposition to apartment housing in the neighborhood. In the tough economic conditions, Barber said it seems the town would look to "positively exploit" resources in the town.

Amendola shrugs off comparisons with Welker
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP)
Danny Amendola heard the comparisons when he joined the New England Patriots.
He was taking over at slot receiver for the player with the most catches in the NFL over any six-season span. Could he even come close to matching Wes Welker's production?
''I don't really think about it too much,'' Amendola says. ''I've been watching Wes for 10, 12 years. It's old news.''
Amendola will be watching Welker again Sunday night when the Denver Broncos' leading receiver faces his former team for the first time since both changed sides as free agents.
Welker has 61 catches and nine touchdown receptions and is listed as probable after suffering a concussion in last Sunday night's 27-17 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Amendola has just 29 receptions with one touchdown and missed four games with a groin injury and a concussion. But he's played in the last three games with 13 catches for 182 yards and a touchdown.
''I feel really good right now,'' Amendola said. ''I'm really amped up.''
The comparison with Welker is hardly surprising.
''You should have heard it when I was in college,'' Amendola said.
It goes back to his days at Texas Tech, where he was a freshman the season after Welker's last year there. Both were outstanding receivers in college. Both returned punts. Both were under 6 feet tall.
So where was Amendola asked more questions about Welker, in college or the pros?
''About equal,'' he said.
Welker holds the record for most career receptions at Texas Tech. Amendola has the mark for most by a senior.
But neither was drafted.
Welker signed as a rookie free agent with the San Diego Chargers in April 2004 and lasted just one game before being waived and picked up by the Miami Dolphins. Amendola spent his rookie season in 2008 on the Dallas Cowboys practice squad, then joined the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad for the postseason.
Both have come a long way since.
Welker caught 672 passes with the Patriots, with more than 110 in five of his six seasons. With the St. Louis Rams, Amendola had 85 receptions in 2010 and 63 in 2012 when he missed five games with injuries. He caught five passes in the 2011 opener, then missed the rest of the season with an elbow injury.
Amendola got off to a promising start with the Patriots when he caught 10 passes in the season-opening 23-21 win over the Buffalo Bills. Playing with a groin injury, he had three receptions on the drive that led to Stephen Gostkowski's winning 35-yard field goal with 5 seconds left.
Amendola missed the next three games, but Julian Edelman, who had backed up Welker, stepped in with 27 catches in that span.
''They've done a great job this year, both of those guys,'' quarterback Tom Brady said. ''Danny was injured ... but Julian really filled in, was a huge presence on our team. His leadership ability in the locker room, his work ethic, his practice habits were all great things from a veteran player.
''He's done a great job. Danny's done a great job. We're getting contributions from everybody at this point.''
They'll need it Sunday night against the NFL's best offense with quarterback Peyton Manning and four dangerous pass catchers.
''Wes is a great player,'' Amendola said. ''I've been watching Wes since I was in high school. He's done a lot of things for the slot position and it's exciting to watch his career progress.''
But he brushes off the comparisons. He's focusing on his own progress in the Patriots' new-look passing attack with Edelman and rookies Aaron Dobson and Kenbrell Thompkins.
''They definitely have weapons with Amendola in the slot,'' Broncos cornerback Chris Harris said. ''They're kind of using him like Welker.''
And there's another similarity between the receivers: Brady.
Amendola learned quickly how good his new quarterback is during organized team activities in May.
''He darted me in the chest with one ball,'' Amendola said. ''I was like, `Wow, this guy can really wing it.'''
Welker found that out six years earlier when he was the new guy in the slot.
''Wes and I have been friends for a long time,'' Amendola said. ''We all love to play football and we share that commonality.''

Analysis: Jones dominated against Missouri in Week 2, showing off his impressive combination of pass-rush skills, range and coverage ability. A very good athlete who is quickly moving into the top half of the first round. Previously: 15
Analysis: A massive two-gap nose tackle with a good combination of size, strength and short-area quickness to control the inside and occasionally contribute as a pass-rusher. Previously: 5

Good Evening Everyone!
This is my first trip report, so bear with me as I try and figure out this whole picture business.
Anyways! - My trip started in San Francisco at about 2:00am. My two friends and I jumped into an over packed Ford Focus and headed over the 580 to the 5, where we sleepily treked our way to the happiest place on Earth.
I will spare you pictures of this as it wasn't a pretty sight!
About 7 hours later, we found ourselves exiting Harbor, and pulling into our Hotel (The Tropicana). After a quick check in, we headed across the street, and were greated by one of the best sights in this world.
After a quick line at the gate, we scampered down Main Street to my favorite ride at the resort, Space Mountain. Needless to say I was very excited...can you tell?
While in line I managed to grab a few shots of the trademark dome, and it looked fairly clean.
If you really zoom in your can see some faint dirt lines, but you can't see that with the naked eye. Also the queue was very clean, and I didn't notice any gum. I didn't get any pictures of the outside queue, but here are a few from the inside.
Also since I have SO MANY pictures of Disneyland, I tried to get pictures from different angles than I am usually used to, so sometimes there are pictures of random things.
After we conquered the mountain, it was about time to head over to one of my favorite areas of the resort...
Yeah that's right I said it, I like DCA!
I didn't get too many more pictures though on our first day, because we were so busy trying to run around and hit everything. We are those people that rack up as many fastpasses as possible, and hit every ride as many times as possible from park open to close. Needless to say it was a great night.
Now Saturday was my favorite day of the trip.
We had early entry, and headed from our hotel room at 6:30am to the Esplanade. I had to stop for a minute to show how close we were to the park.
Our hotel...
The view from the front gate.
(On a side note, I really enjoyed the Tropicana, and would stay there again in a heartbeat.)
The very first thing we did was head over to Nemo, and try and beat out the rest of the guests to what was easily the most popular ride in the park. We waited literally about 10 minutes, (at which point I took this shot, I still don't get what this thing is supposed to do/be)
...and were on the second load of subs leaving the station.
I have to say that while cute, Nemo was a real snoozer. I would say it was a solid D-ticket attraction, but the story was really lacking, and it really isn't something I felt the desire to ride again that trip.
One thing that Nemo DID do, was direct all of the early entry guests to it's line. So once we were done with Nemo we were able to hit Both sides of the Matterhorn, and nearly every dark ride in Fantasyland without a wait!!
We don't go on the Teacups though because they make us sick, so we decided to fake it on the one in the middle of Fantasyland.
After our ride marathon, we headed over to Cafe Orleans for breakfast, where one of the other patrons was nice enough to take our picture. I think this is the only pocture with all three of us the whole weekend.
I LOOOOOOOOVE Cafe Orleans. Their Creole Eggs Benedict is by far one of the best breakfasts at the entire resort, and I get it every time I go there.
After breakfast we headed to Splash, where we witnessed something we wouldn't see the rest of the weekend.
While the lines in the park were pretty manageable all weekend, the standby line for Splash Mountain hovered around 60 minutes almost the entire time we were there...luckily we didn't wait in many lines Saturday!!
Why you ask? - Well after I took that picture, we ran over to DCA to ride the TOT. After exiting the ride we ran into someone handing out these little beauties!
I have been wanting to win something for so long, and hadn't even SEEN a Dream Squad Member anywhere on three separate trips. I was frankly shocked, and crapping myself with glee!
The rest of the day was a blur, as all we did was hit rides all day, and into the night.
We took a break in there somewhere to go eat at the Blue Bayou. It was a GREAT meal. One thing was strange though.
That...is the weirdest salad I have ever seen in my whole life.
Finally around midnight we dragged our bodies back to the hotel. On the way back I snagged some night shots of main street. It's so pretty at night time.
Sunday was really nice, and here are a few pictures from that day.
Love me some watermelon.
*Excited that we are going to get a drink*
LOVE the Cove Bar!!!
And of course....what better way to end a trip, than with one of the best firework shows on Earth.
Ok guys...that was my trip. It was my first time in July, and I have to say I probably won't be back. The lines were nothing compared to Christmas, but LA is just too hot, muggy and gross in the summer for this SF boy. My next trip is scheduled for the beginning of February.
Thanks for sitting through my report!

QPR defender Anton Ferdinand admits the family name has helped him with his loan move to Bursaspor.
The Londoner did not quite know what to expect when he moved to Turkey.
He admitted to The Sun: "They still remember my second cousin Les Ferdinand playing for Besiktas in the late '80s. They loved him because of the way he embraced their culture.
"And, of course, they all know Rio and follow Manchester United.
"So they expected a lot and, hopefully, I've been delivering.
"They are football fanatics and want to talk about the game all the time. The day after we beat Besiktas 3-0 I went out shopping to buy a blanket and the guy in the shop said 'take it for free'. I told him I couldn't do that but he said he would be upset if I refused because we had made him so happy with the win."

FOX Sports Exclusive
Sources: NFL, NFLPA agree to CBA terms
After years, months, weeks and days of haggling over all the details of a new collective bargaining agreement, the NFLPA and NFL finally came to an agreement on terms in the wee hours of Monday morning, FOXSports.com has learned.
The NFLPA player representatives and players still must vote to approve it, but at this point it appears a formality.
Sources involved in the negotiations told FOXSports.com that, under the new agreement, the schedule will be different than originally reported. Under the new terms, team facilities will open as early as Tuesday and training camps will begin Wednesday for 10 teams, Thursday for 10 teams, Friday for another 10 and Sunday for the remaining two, only 15 days before the first preseason game.
Unrestricted free agency begins after camp begins at 6 p.m. ET Friday. However, teams will be allowed to negotiate with free agents beginning Tuesday. There will not be an exclusive negotiating period for teams to sign their own free agents.
However, trades can occur as early as Tuesday. Teams can also sign their own draft picks and undrafted free agents beginning Tuesday.
DONE DEAL?Monday's meeting could be beginning of the end of NFL lockout. What happens next? AJ Perez answers a few questions.
There is still a chance that some unforeseen obstacle somehow could stall the agreement again, although that now seems unlikely.
Players will begin arriving at team facilities Tuesday to vote to recertify the NFLPA as a union. Once they do, they can negotiate terms for the league's drug programs, player discipline fines, workers comp, etc.
For months reports have surfaced that a deal was close to completion, only to prove false. Fans have hung on report after report hoping for a new deal and for pro football to return. It now appears the NFL will be back without any games being canceled except the Hall of Fame Game.

Monica Hernandez / Eyewitness News
Email: email@example.com | Twitter: @mhernandezwwl
NEW ORLEANS - With the number of police officers at a historic low, city officials agree, New Orleans needs more cops on the streets.
But courts have decided that the city is also on the hook to pay millions of dollars to support the firefighters pension fund, as well as pay for two federal consent decrees to improve the jail and police department.
'We don't know yet how much those judgments are going to cost, we're trying to prepare,' said Andy Kopplin, First Deputy Mayor and New Orleans Chief Administrative Officer.
That's why the city is asking the state legislature to allow residents to vote on three new tax hikes in November that could help pay for the pension fund and consent decrees, as well as bolster the police department.
If the measures go through, a pack of cigarettes or other tobacco products would cost 75 cents more for in New Orleans, the city's hotel tax would increase, and property taxes to support police and firefighters could rise about $30 a year if you own a $200,000 home.
'The alternative is going to be to reduce services, you either have revenues to pay for these obligations or you reduce services,' said Kopplin.
Experts say pushing the tax measures through will be a tough battle. First, the legislature would have to approve all three measures. Then, Governor Bobby Jindal would have to green light both the tobacco and hotel tax increases. Then, the city council would have to decide whether to put the measures on the local ballot before voters could decide whether to approve the tax measures.
'That's going to be the tough part for the mayor,' said Eyewitness Political Analyst Clancy DuBos. 'He's going to have to convince the legislature and the voters that the budget has been scrubbed as much as it can be and that any additional cuts are going to be very painful, as painful as the tax perhaps.'
New Orleans police and fire unions have very different views on the controversial proposed tax hikes.
'I'm very optimistic,' said Nick Felton, president of the New Orleans Fire Fighters Association, which supports the measures. 'I'm hoping for good results that we can come forth and bring hard dollars back to the city of New Orleans.
'It's going to harmful to the citizens of the city and it's going to be harmful to the police officers that live in the city, because they're going to be funding this also,' said Eric Hessler, attorney for the Police Association of New Orleans.
Increasing the hotel tax by as much as 1.75 percent could hurt the tourism industry, said Mavis Early, executive director of the Greater New Orleans Hotel and Lodging Association.
If the tax goes through, New Orleans would have the second highest hotel tax in the nation, behind New York City, she said.
'We think that could be a deterrent,' said Early.
City officials emphasize that the tax measures may not be necessary, depending on how much the Orleans Parish Prison consent decree costs. They simply want to give the city council as many options as possible when it comes to funding the consent decrees and the fire fighters pension fund.
The proposed police and fire millage passed the House 89 to zero Monday. It now being considered in the Senate.
The proposed hotel and cigarette tax have both been referred to House committees.
A spokeswoman said Jindal is still reviewing the bills.
While the governor has said publicly that he will not support any new tax, he has been open to allowing voters to decide on tax measures, said DuBos.
