PlayBook features we can look forward to
The first hands-on video with the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet has emerged showing off key features that RIM will hope help it better the Apple iPad.
BGR have had spent some extensive time looking at notable features such as app multitasking, 1080p HD video, the four multi-touch bezels and finding out how pairing the PlayBook with BlackBerry smartphones will work
Interestingly at the end of the video, it is also revealed that those who successfully submit PlayBook apps to BlackBerry World will receive a free BlackBerry PlayBook when they become available.
Earlier this week, footage of the PlayBook at a network event in Canada surfaced showcasing 1080p HD video playback capabilities, the device's operating system, the user interface, and a slick two-style gesture control design.
The BlackBerry Playbook is expected to launch in spring 2011, just days ahead of the arrival of Apple's muted iPad 2, with the RIM tablet also sporting a 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and front and rear facing cameras.
You can see the BlackBerry PlayBook hands-on video below.

Most of his significant fights took place at light heavyweight limit. For his relentless style to be most effective he needed to have little excessive weight, yet most of them had taken place above 160lb, so he probably felt that weight suit him better than going below 160lb. There's a legend that he never trained very hard, so this might be some excessive weight, but in fact he trained a lot, it was only a trick he often used to make his opponents believe he was out of shape. He showed up with girls, with a cigar, etc, but it was only playing for the public.
Using the arguments that are often mentioned here, had Greb and his opponents been fighting today, they'd be more muscled and weigh several pounds heavier too, again - they'd still be either 168 or 175-pounders.
I think you could rate him both at middle and light heavy, but he spent the majority of his career as a small light heavy. That still makes him a light heavy, but he was never really a fully fledged light heavy. In most of his key fights he weighed in the 160s.
In any case, I would rate him highliy at middle based on many of the things he did weighing in the mid 160s. It is based on speculation but I think he COULD have made 160 quite a bit more often if he fought for the middleweight title more often. People often dont like to take account of what a fighter did at a higher weight class when rating a fighter at a certain lower weight class but I think it is somewhat myopic to do so.
For instance, take Floyd Mayweather. Would he really rate top 50 at lightweight if we don't take account of what he did in other weight classes? A controversial fight with Castillo most felt he lost and a rematch he won clearly but didn't dominate. Then a less than impressive performance against Victoriano Sosa. Is that enough to put him top 50 at lightweight? I could name 50 lightweights with better accomplishments. But measuring his talent and what he accomplished at other weights, it seems foolish to rate him so low.

Here it is.
Step 1: Parts
1 Arduino
1 Large Piece of Perforated Circuit Board (I used this one)
1 Pulse Sensor (I got mine at World Maker Faire but you can get yours here or here)
Some Male and Female Headers (I used a three pin female header for the pulse sensor itself)
Some Wire
Step 2: Program.
Basically, set up an LED on digital pin 5 of the Arduino that goes to the ground pin as well. The sensor connects to positive 5 volts (or 3.3 volts if you changed it to work with 3.3 volts),ground and Analog 0.

From executive producer Steven Spielberg, Falling Skies stars Noah Wyle as a former college professor who becomes the leader of a group of soldiers and civilians struggling against an occupying alien force.
Moon Bloodgood co-stars as Anne Glass, a therapist who works with the surviving children to help them cope with the traumatic situation. The series also stars Drew Roy as Hal and Maxim Knight as Matt, Tom's two sons; and Seychelle Gabriel as Lourdes, an orphaned teenager who helps run the group's commissary.

great series, I can't wait for S03.
Love it !
I don't get it. People say this show is stale and say that the Walking Dead was marvelous. It seems to me we didn't watch the same Season 2 of The Walking Dead. This show was way better.
Really improved in the second season.
Great second season. Can't wait for the third.
Did find season 1 pretty boring myself but the backstory and the fact that there's not many similar alternatives out there kept me interested enough to keep watching. Last episode was very refreshing and I can't wait to see how season 2 is going to play out.
The first series for me was very poor. I don't know what convinced me to watch the second, but I'm almost glad I did decide to give it a another chance. The second series has all the same problems of the first but focuses a lot more on the things the show does well, and is very much better for it.
It's funny that they refer to their group as '2nd Mass' and how often they mention it.. sounds so forced and retarded to me.
Even more so because they don't really manage to pull off all the military crap in a convincing way to back it up.
The series has been renewed for a third season.

The X Factor
The X Factor 2012: Did Producers Give Britney Spears An Advantage With Her Grouping?
On the October 10 episode of The X Factor, we were introduced to a few new groups (LYLAS, Playback, Lyric 145), saw some fake houses where the judges supposedly live, and got to enjoy the judges' reactions to their mentor assignments.
Britney has been tweeting about how much she loves the young contestants for weeks now, and we already had intel that she was mentoring the young'uns (aka "Teens" from now on) alongside guestie will.i.am. We think it's a great match considering she started her rise to fame at a super young age. She was stoked, too. Sources say we'll get our first view of Brit in action on October 11. Word is that the X Factor execs were initially going to give Lady B the middle group, but ended up swapping with Demi because they believe the winner is probably in the youngsters. Maybe they wanted something to show for Brit's 15 million dollar paycheck?
Demi was equally stoked to be gifted the 17-24 year olds ("Young Adults"), and swore the winner is within that group. She may be right, but we'll have to see how well she and guest-mentor Nick Jonas do with them. So far, her advice was well heeded by notorious bully/tough girl CeCe Frey, who gave a playful, soulful performance of LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It" after Queen D told her that she might need to lay off the 'tude.
Simon was assigned the groups and seems like the best fit for them. Last season, Paula Abdul's groups were all eliminated and then she flapped around for awhile. We'll see what Papa Cowell does with guest-mentor Marc Anthony and the mish mash of groups — some, like Emblem3, Sister C, and Dope Crisis have been together for years, while others are brand new. On the October 10 episode, newbies Lyric 145, LYLAS, and Playback made a pretty great showing for a first time.
So, was L.A. Reid an equally good sport? Notsomuch. Upon hearing he got the "Overs" (25+), L.A. slammed the phone down and stormed out. Then, to make it super awkward, he greeted the contestants (who were so excited to have him) by telling them that "honestly, when I heard I was working with the Overs, I was disappointed." Wow, way to start things off on the most awkward foot ever (yes, Antonio "L.A." Reid has more than two feet).
So, what do you think — did each judge get the right pairing? Was L.A. acting like a total baby (spoiler alert: yes)? You tell us.

Children's Literature Exhibit at Central LibraryWednesday, March 28th, 2012
There is a new exhibit in the Indianapolis Room at Central Library called A was an apple pie: A Slice of Children's Literature. The exhibit includes books from the 19th thru the 20th centuries. The Children's Literature Collection in the Indianapolis Room had its beginnings many years ago. The Library began gathering significant children's works, including Newbery and Caldecott award winners, books by Indiana authors, books about Indiana, and noteworthy general fiction and nonfiction. Future acquisitions will continue to concentrate on Indianapolis authors and themes, as well as contemporary books for children.
Many books were gifts of, or have inscriptions by local residents – some whose names represent early Indianapolis leaders in business, government, social reform, and education:
- Albert Buchanan of the Flanner and Buchanan Mortuary family;
- George Hume, a prominent lawyer and insurance businessman who, with his cousin Charles Mansur, built the largest and most elegant medical office building in the city in 1911;
- John Love, a Civil War general;
- Sarah P. Morrison, the first woman to graduate from and teach at IU
- Reginald Sullivan, 1930's mayor of Indianapolis;
- Albert F. Yohn, grandson of early Indianapolis settler James C. Yohn
Stop by and take a look at the fascinating artwork contained in these books as well as some unique toys which were inspired by some of the works, including these goblins made to illustrate James Whitcomb Riley's classic poem, "The Nine Little Goblins". The exhibit is on the 6th floor of Central Library in the Indianapolis Room. It will run through the end of 2012.
To explore more examples of classic children's literature and illustration through the last two centuries, visit Project Gutenberg. Project Gutenberg includes eBooks for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy them, give them away or re-use them under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License. To see eBooks for children click on "Bookshelves by Topic" and scroll down to "Children's Bookshelf." Also try the International Children's Digital Library, a digital library of outstanding children's books from around the world.


text: Final issue of Dark Times (at least for some time, as they specify, so there is still hope!). Still, for the overall body of work this series has accomplished, one must give a round of applause for the fantastic stories and artwork this run has delivered almost constantly. That said, this issue's resolution felt a tad abrupt for a series conclusion that has been teased since the first issue of this story arc- and the various subplots with the supporting Imperial characters didn't really get a resolution either. Oddly enough, I think this issue kind of makes the Dark Times series as a whole almost the story of Kai- it's just that 90% of it's issues just happen to follow the person who ultimately makes him see the error of his choices in the Republic issues that launched DT. But, I was loving the apparent ROTJ visual homage before the "twist"- and Vaders "landing" towards the end was also a cool visual. Still one can't help but feel like DT's story still has at least one more story left in it.

Oakamoor crowned overall winner for the Staffordshire Moorlands of the 59th Best Kept Village Competition
Posted: August 12, 2014|
THE winners of this year's Best Kept Village (BKV) Competition have been announced.
John Perry, MBE, Chairman of the Best Kept Village (BKV) Working Group, which organises the competition which is now in its 59th year, on behalf of the Community Council of Staffordshire, declared the winning villages in the five judging areas and those villages which had been Highly Commended for their efforts on Monday, August 4, at Stafford College, Tenterbanks Hall.
Alton was named the Best Large Village for the Staffordshire Moorlands, Oakamoor was crowned the Best Small Village and overall area winner, and Cauldon Lowe and Kingsley Holt were Highly Commended.
An Award of Special Commendation for consistent participation, effort and achievement in BKV over 50 years

was awarded to Ipstones.
Mr Perry said: "57 villages entered this year, which was up on last year's entry of 53, so we were pleased that while we lost a few "regulars" we more than made up by villages returning to the competition after breaks of between two and nearly 50 years.
"Very high standards were achieved this year in many areas and judges had no easy task in identifying the "Best" villages.
"A great deal of work was achieved by groups and individuals across the county and there was significant awareness of BKV and a great deal of community involvement in a great many areas.
"These results were great achievements and rewards for the commitment, involvement and hard work of many individuals and groups in these villages.
"They all worked hard between May and July in particular to achieve remarkably consistent levels of maintenance and care across all features of BKV which really impressed the judges. "The BKV competition is, however, not just for those villages which win the top awards and the judges were really impressed by those villages which, while not likely to win, worked hard to maintain and indeed improve the environment of their communities by using the BKV competition as a focus for community involvement and effort."
In addition to the main BKV competition, the children's poster competition, sponsored by KGL (Estates) Ltd, and a new competition for young children's poetry, sponsored by Mrs Jan Altham of Alrewas, saw hundreds of posters and poems being displayed in many villages to supplement their efforts to make residents aware of BKV.
The "In Remembrance" competition, sponsored by The Leavesley Group on behalf of The National Memorial Arboretum, saw outstanding entries by 11 to16 year olds from five High Schools across the county.
The results of these competitions will be awarded at a separate presentation evening at Stafford College on Monday, September 8.
Mr Perry added: "We can only organise the competition with the generous help of our sponsors Staffordshire County Council, Rubery Owen Holdings Ltd, South Staffordshire Council, South Staffordshire Housing Association, Lafarge Tarmac and The Leavesley Group and we are extremely grateful for the continued support.
"I should like to thank all the villages that entered BKV in 2014 and worked so hard through the summer to achieve such high standards.
"Finally, I must thank our 70 or so volunteer judges who give up their time so generously to make the competition possible. "Few got wet this year, a few got a bit sunburnt, but they all enjoyed their judging days.
"We could always do with a few more judges so if you would be willing to spare a couple of days in May and June next year, please get in touch with me or Liz Sanderson at the Community Council on 01785 242525 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com"

12.07.2007 Beach season in Tallinn
Beach season in Tallinn12.07.2007
Although the air and water temperatures don't seem very convincing yet, beach season in Tallinn's public beaches has begun.
Tallinn boasts five public swimming beaches: Pirita, Stroomi, Harku, Kakumäe and Pikakari. Lifeguards certified to give first aid are on watch on all five on weekdays, 9am–8pm, and weekends, 9am–9pm. Basic facilities at the beaches include changing stalls, toilets and parking lots (without guards), and mobile ice cream vendors (payment in cash only). Pets are not generally allowed.
The oldest, largest and most popular of the beaches is the 2-km-long Pirita beach, with a magnificent view onto the Old Town and the busy sea traffic on the Gulf of Finland. The beach is separated from the neighboring Pirita and Merivälja residential districts by a pine forest. This beach has ballgame courts and separate playgrounds for children. Lockers are available, as are facilities for renting water sport equipment and chaise longues, shops selling beach gear and cafés in the beach house. Music is played on the beach and there are frequent competitions and other events. At the far side of the beach there is a separate area for nude sunbathing. The parking lot is not under surveillance, like in the other beaches, but a parking fee is charged. The beach is 6 km from downtown (buses 1, 1A, 8, 34, 34A and 38). The address of the beach house is Merivälja tee 5.
Another well-worn summer hot spot is Stroomi beach, situated in Pelguranna, opposite the Open Air Museum on the other side of Kopli Bay. Between the beach and highrise residential buildings is a spacious green area where beachgoers can find shade on the grass for a picnic. Courts for various ballgames, trampolines and outdoor cafés can all be found on this beach. Children can romp around the playgrounds and try driving electric cars. A temporary youth center is set up, concerts are frequently organised, and there is always loud disco music playing. The beach house provides lockers and showers, and a shop for buying beach gear and borrowing chaise longues. Visa and MasterCard are accepted. The beach is 4 km from downtown (buses 3, 40, 48). The beach house is located at Pelguranna 30.
On the western city border in the Haabersti district, Harku beach lies on the shores of a lake, so it has slightly warmer water for swimming than the sea. The swimming beach on a sandy stretch of shore is fairly treeless and lies close to a residential area. The lakeshore is shallow and the bottom is muddy, 12 meters at its deepest. The beach has courts for ballgames, climbing trees for children, a kiosk selling food, and showers. The rowing base nearby provides an opportunity to practice rowing and surfing, play mini golf, use the gym and rent pedalos (paddle boats) and rowboats. The Season Surfclub is also at the rowing base. Harku Lake is by the Paldiski Highway, 7 km from downtown (trolley 6, buses 22, 36, and 46).
Kakumäe beach is also in Haabersti, on the landward side of the small Kakumäe peninsula. The peninsula is full of single-family houses, at a bit of a distance from the swimming beach. The woods separating the residential area from the beach are thick and boggy. This quiet, secluded beach has ball courts, a kiosk selling food, showers and a bicycle parking lot. Children can use the swings and a climbing tree. The beach is 11 km from downtown and is not very busy, at least on weekdays. Buses 21 and 21B go from the central railway station (Balti jaam) to Kakumäe. From Kakumäe Road, which follows the length of the peninsula, turn onto Sooranna Street to take you straight to the beach.
The city's newest beach, Pikakari beach, is located on Paljassaare peninsula, near Katariina pier. The beach opened last summer to great local curiosity, as its location, formerly a military-industrial zone, had strictly limited access up until only a few years ago. The previous nature of the area is still visible in the ramshackle industrial buildings, soiled dwelling houses and poor roads, but constant development has already yielded visible results. Pikakari is the windiest of Tallinn's beaches and waves from the wake of ships hit the coast more powerfully than in Pirita. A small, slightly bushy, wooded area gives some protection against landward winds. The sea floor is partly sandy, partly rocky, and the water gets deep quickly, reaching over a person's head 30 meters away from dry land. The beach has courts for ballgames, places for making fires, swings for children and a kiosk selling food. Park rangers patrol the area, and you're likely to meet surfers and fishermen. There is also a bird protection area and bird viewing tower on the peninsula. The beach is 6 km from downtown. To get there, drive to the end of Paljassaare Road (bus 59 from the central railway station, or Balti jaam) and walk further down a gravel road about 300 meters. The view back onto town and onto the sea from the beach and the pier are well worth the trouble, especially on a summer's evening.

Worse than "Jim Crow" Racial Segregation
At least Rosa Parks was allowed on the bus. She was ordered to give up her seat in the "colored section" to a white passenger after the "white section" was filled, but she rightly refused.
These Palestinian 'Rosa Parks' were refused entry on the first bus and then detained by security guards. They were finally released 2 hours later.
As a result of the publicity around the Montgomery incident, Rosa Parks went on to inspire the US Civil Rights Movement and became known as "the first lady of civil rights".
Despite this Tel Aviv incident being filmed and broadcast on Youtube, the Palestinian 'Rosa Parks' will be ignored by the western media, who continue to ignore the thousands of other Palestinian acts of civil disobedience and non-violent resistance.
No doubt our federal politicians returning from their junkets to Israel will ignore it also.

A high school social studies teacher at Webster Thomas High School has been named the 2013 New York State Teacher of the Year.
Gregory Ahlquist was presented with a certificate of recognition by Regents Chancellor Merryl H. Tisch and Education Commissioner John B.

Tunggadewa Mattangkilang
Tenggarong, East Kalimantan. Bad news continues to flow from East Kalimantan as three small-scale coal miners reported more than 200 layoffs to the Labor Ministry's local office, with many more coal producers expected to make similar cost-cutting measures.
VPR Laxmindo laid off 54 workers, while 100 were given pink slips at SIP and 50 at Cipta Kridatama, as the declining price of coal in recent months has squeezed operating budgets.
"The three companies are [a few] of more than 430 coal companies in one small district," Panut, the head of industrial relations at the Labor Ministry office in Kutai Kertanegara district, said on Friday.
Panut said other companies, which he declined to identify, have suspended production — unable to afford labor costs with the price of the commodity having fallen by about one-third from a year ago.
Panut said his office would hold a meeting on Wednesday with coal miners to discuss possible severance payouts and to seek ways to avoid further layoffs.
Suriansyah, head of the labor office in Kutai Kertanegara, said on Wednesday that some coal miners operating in various districts of East Kalimantan were anticipating massive layoffs in the coming weeks.
East Kalimantan is home to 14 districts — including Balikpapan, Bontang and Tarakan — that are rich in natural resources such as oil, gas and coal.
There are more than 400 small-scale miners operating in Kutai Kertanegara district alone, employing more than 40,000 workers. Workers in coal-mining related and supporting businesses totaled 300,000 people this year.
Panut said that a laborer working directly in coal mining had typically earned Rp 5 million ($525) to Rp 6 million per month. But as the price of the commodity has dropped, laborers have seen their salaries reduced to a range of Rp 1 million to Rp 2 million, with benefits and overtime pay on the chopping block.
According to data from the local Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry office, coal production from a sampling of about 71 small-scale coal miners has fallen to 5.2 million metric tons in the second quarter this year, way below the 9.4 million tons recorded in the first quarter.
Sudarsono Wira Adi, a government official from the local office of the Energy Ministry, said the slumping global economy has caused demand for the commodity from China and India, two of Asia's largest consumers of thermal coal, to fall.
"We are hit by that," Sudarsono said.
Sudarsono said that coal production from East Kalimantan accounts for around 60 percent of the country's total production per year, or about 200 million tons.
Indonesia is the world's second-biggest shipper of thermal coal, with 20.8 billion tons of proven coal reserves, according to the Energy Ministry.
Resource-rich Kalimantan island is home to four provinces including East Kalimantan. The other three provinces are Central Kalimantan, West Kalimantan and South Kalimantan.
Several big coal producers such as Bumi Resources, Kaltim Prima Coal and Harum Energy operate coal mining plants in Kalimantan.

The editors received an inquiry from a reader, and since I don't know the answer I decided to open it up to our great community in hopes that you all have some suggestions for Arthur:
I was wondering if you knew of any sort of online list of feminist-friendly businesses which cater to nerd interests. I'm very big on supporting companies with feminist policies. Liz Claiborne, for example, has set the standard for corporate policies about domestic violence. I learned that when I did research project in high school. But they aren't exactly Steve Jackson games, which as far as I can tell isn't what I'm looking for either.
Thank you for your time,
What say you, readers? What companies do you think that are nerd-friendly and supporters of feminist issues? One suggestion was Her Interactive, the developer of the Nancy Drew games.

New NCSS Performance Based Assessment Clearinghouse
New NCSS Performance Based Assessment Clearinghouse
Rozella Clyde
Thu, Apr 18, 2013 06:58 AM
Thank you Michelle for your announcement about the new Clearinghouse that had been established by NCSS to gather together items that NCSS has established a Clearinghouse for
performance based assessment items. That was the essential purpose of the resolution ATSS/UFT submitted at the 2012 House of Delegates. I am delighted that the resolution is now superfluous! If we are going to replace multiple guess assessments so heavily entrenched within the national "high-stakes" testing mentality, there must be proven alternative assessment instruments waiting in the wings. NCSS has just taken the first step down that path. The next step requires those of us in the field to populate this clearinghouse with field tested examples.

Artist CV:DANBY, Ken (Kenneth Edison Danby)
Born: 06 March 1940 Sault Ste. Marie Ontario Canada
Died: 23 September 2007 Algonquin Park Ontario Canada
Born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, the son of Milton G.E. Danby, descendant of early Canadians, who worked as assessment commissioner for the City of Sault Ste. Marie. His mother, Gertrude Lillian (Buckley), English born, had lived in Sault Ste. Marie since the age of nine. She encouraged Ken and his brother Marvin to draw, as both she and her husband considered the arts important. Early signs of Ken's above average talent emerged at the age of ten when he won a prize in a local show for a portrait of his father. At Sault Ste. Marie Collegiate (1952-58) he was active in track and field and ran several miles a day for pleasure. He took drafting and worked on construction jobs in the summer. This training and experience was to prove invaluable to him when he renovated structures on the mill property. As his ability at drawing was recognized he was told about the OCA by the school counsellor. He entered the OCA at the age of 18. There he studied under John Alfsen, Eric Freifeld, Fred Hagan, and Jock MacDonald (1958-60). Jock MacDonald gave him insight into the merits of abstraction. Seeking his own path, Danby left the college in 1960. For a period of three years he did abstract and non-objective art in his free time but deep down he favoured realism and continued to do high-quality drawings of representational subject matter. He worked that summer designing sets for Sault Ste. Marie television station CJIC and subsequently worked, exhibited, or completed projects at the following places: set painter, CFTO TV, Toronto, fall and winter (1960); held a solo show of his art at Pollock Gal., Tor. (1961); package designer, Bradshaw's Packaging Co. Tor., spring (1961); graphic designer, Promotion Dept., Telegram, Tor. (1961-62); freelance designer for TV, Art Dir., Mariposa Folk Festival (1962-63); illustrated Bank of Montreal's history, Canada's first bank, Bank of Montreal history for M&S (1962). On a visit to New York in 1962 he stopped off at Buffalo to see an exhibition by famed realist Andrew Wyeth. He came away from the exhibition inspired by Wyeth's work and convinced that there was room for realism in contemporary art despite the sweeping popularity of abstract and non-objective art in North America. On his return to Canada he dropped abstraction and focused on realism. In the years that followed he worked in egg tempera, water colour, pencil, ink, silkscreen and lithography and soon made his mark in the art world. He won a Four Seasons Purchase Award in 1962. One of his works, an egg tempera of his cat Kimbo, entitled Fur and Brick, won a Jessie Dow Award in the 1964 Spring Exhibition of the MMFA. He spent that summer on St. Joseph's Island near Sault Ste. Marie where he had rented a cottage to work on his painting. It was in this district that Danby painted a series of water colours and a number of other works which he later did successfully in tempera. Also in 1964 he met Judy Harcourt, a registered nurse whom he married in 1965; held his first solo show at Gallery Moos, Toronto, selling every painting; his drawing Winter Window (1964) was purchased by the NGC. The following year the NGC purchased his tempera on masonite, Early Morning (1965), curators for the CIL Art Collection and the VAG each bought from Moos gallery one of his paintings by telegram. He won an award at the Hadassah Exhibition of 1965. In 1968 Paul Grescoe noted Danby's work in The Canadian Magazine, as follows, "What makes Danby more than a photographer with paints is his selection of focus and detail. Everybody has seen a horse pulling a wagon before, but nobody has seen them with Danby's eyes: the horse full on, obscuring the driver, the horse's veins standing out like scars, the red wagon about to run right over the viewer. This calls for a draftsman's eye, a craftsman's hand. It's part of the style called Magic Realism - a hyper-realism that few artists attempt." The Red Wagon (1966) was reproduced in Paul Duval's book, High Realism in Canada (1974). In December of 1966 Danby, his wife and son moved into a nine-room farmhouse built in 1850 at Armstrong's Mill, a historic 11-acre farm just outside of Guelph. Later, after considerable renovation of the mill itself, Danby finished the task and the family moved into the old mill. He then built his two-storey studio in a separate location over the foundation of an old barn on the property. Finally in his own studio he settled down to produce in the following years many important works including: The Mill Cat (1968), a cat on top of bags of grain, with fine detail and exceptional light and shadow; portrait of Prime Minister Trudeau for a Time magazine cover (1968); Pulling Out (1968), a motorcyclist starting out from the shoulder of a country road; Pancho, a portrait of a Spanish farmworker and neighbour who died in 1975; The Goalie (1972), a hockey goalie painted as the result of seeing a neighbour's son wearing a mask as he played goal (Danby had not played hockey for a decade during which time the goalie mask had been introduced. It was for the artist a haunting image.); At The Crease (1972), a further development of the hockey goalie theme, selected by the Smithsonian Institute's Portrait Gallery for the exhibition on Champions of American Sport and reported to have flabbergasted even Andrew Wyeth for its stunning detail; Snooker (1972), a player crouched ready to make a shot. Danby's experience as an athlete in high school and his participation in hockey games twice a week for a number of years, helped him understand the effort that athletes put into their chosen sport. In 1975 he created six images in water colours of Olympic athletes: The Gymnast, The Sprinter, The High Jumper, The Diver, The Sculler, The Cyclist. He has produced many series of lithographs and serigraphs of sports events and sports personalities as well as many other subjects. Some of his graphics have involved up to 29 colours. Other of his paintings include: Lacing Up (1972); The Skates (1972), a serigraph which was presented to each member of the 1972 Canada hockey team; The Grey Cup (1987) commissioned by the CFL to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Canadian Football League playoff. In 1981 his water colour of the late Terry Fox was presented to Governor General Ed Schreyer, at the opening of the final game of the Canada Cup series. In 1989 he was commissioned to paint portraits of 25 inductees to the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame. He has donated many other works for benefits. Prominent Canadian art critic Paul Duval wrote three books on the artist: Ken Danby (1974) deluxe edition by Gallery Moos; Ken Danby (1976) by Clarke Irwin; Ken Danby, the new decade (1984) by Stoddart. Writer Hubert de Santana produced Danby: images of Sport in 1978 published by Amberley House, and distr. by MacMillan (Can.). Danby was appointed to the boards of the CC and the NGC. His marriage to Judith Harcourt ended in 1985. From their union they had three sons: Sean, Ryan and Noah. Danby remarried. In 1992 he was commissioned to do an oil painting of the great NHL defenceman Tim Horton. From the painting a limited edition of 900 prints was made for sale to support the Tim Horton's Children's Foundation. The following year he painted the portrait of former Boston Bruins defenceman Bobby Orr. Bobby Orr: Garden of Dreams was produced in limited edition prints. Danby has done hundreds of other works and commissions for which there is insufficient space here to list. His work has also been produced on collector's plates including his 1983 work, The Swimmers, a portrait of a boy and his dog. He has held a score or more solo shows at the Gallery Moos, Toronto and New York; MacDonald Stewart Art Centre, Guelph (1987); and many important group shows with other outstanding Canadian artists including D.P. Brown, Tom Forrestall, Christopher Pratt, Bruce St. Clair, Gerald Zeldin. He continues to work from his studio at Armstrong's Mill producing work that is admired and collected by art lovers the world over. He is represented in the following collections: NGC, Ott.; CC Art Bank, Ott.; Sports & Rec., Ott.; MMFA, Mtl.; C.I.L. Coll., Mtl.; Power Corp., Mtl.; T.D.

Hungarian football will forever be associated with legendary names such as Ferenc Puskas, Florian Albert, Jozsef Bozsik and Zoltan Czibor, the most famous of the Magical Magyars of the 1950s. This legendary Hungarian national team, the 1952 Olympic gold medallists and 1954 FIFA World Cup™ runners-up, are widely acknowledged as a pioneering influence on the modern game in terms of tactical sophistication and flexibility.
Naturally, clubs also benefited from the brilliance of the Golden Team. As cross-border transfers were still very much a rarity in the mid-20th century, the best players tended to stay and ply their trade at home.
In the case of Hungary, two Budapest-based clubs profited hugely from the national team's far-sighted coaching and tactics. Bozsik and Puskas played for Honved, but Ferencvaros carved out a position as the nation's No1 club thanks to the likes of Albert, Sandor Kocsis and Czibor, although the last two would later scale equally great heights in Honved colours.
Birth of an institution
Of the two, Ferencvaros are the older by some ten years. Ferencvarosi Torna Club were founded in May 1899 in the Hungarian capital's ninth district, after which the club are named. The official emblem features nine stripes, five green and four white, as a permanent reminder of the club's geographical origins. The device with three letters 'E' in a triangle stands for Erkölcs, Erő, Egyetértés (morality, power and unity). On the day of the club's foundation, first chairman Dr. Ferenc Springer is reported to have said: "This will be a great club." History was to prove him right.
Ferencvaros began as an athletics club, adding a football section some 18 months later. The fledgling Green Eagles soon suffered the heaviest defeat in their history, a 16-0 hiding by English side Oxford United in 1902. However just a year after that, and in only the third Hungarian league season, they won their first national championship.
The club nicknamed Fradi won the league again in 1905 and 1907, but that was just the prelude to a period of total domestic domination, as Ferencvaros claimed the national title five times in a row between 1909 and 1913, the last of them also producing a maiden domestic double. Some years later, a league title triumph in 1932/33 was especially memorable as the men in green and white won every one of their fixtures, an achievement which remains unique to this day.
The club had begun to attract fans from all over the country, and they duly left their original home on Soroksari Street in 1911, moving to their current stadium with its substantially greater capacity.
The making of a legend
The breakthrough on the European and international stage proved elusive for a time, but the Green Eagles won the Mitropa Cup in 1928 and repeated the feat in 1937, bringing them to the attention of the wider coaching and reporting world for the first time. One exceptional achievement came in 1929, when a team now consisting exclusively of professional players travelled to Montevideo and beat soon-to-be world champions Uruguay 3-2, becoming the first team of any description to defeat the hosts on home soil.
Thirty years were to pass before the greatest triumph in the club's history, as Albert and Sandor Matrai spearheaded the march to victory in the 1964/65 Fairs Cup, forerunner to the UEFA Cup and its successor, today's UEFA Europa League. After disposing of big names such as AS Roma and Manchester United, Fradi travelled to Turin for the final against Juventus, where Mate Fenyvesi scored the only goal of the game on 74 minutes. It remains the only European trophy won by a Hungarian club in the modern era. Ferencvaros would go on to reach two more European finals in 1968 and 1975, but lost both.
On the domestic front, the green and whites had continued to cement their position as comfortably the best club in the land. By the end of the 1960s, the honours list included more than 20 national championships and ten cup triumphs.
The present
The Hungarians last hit the European headlines back in 1995, when they became the first team from their country to qualify for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. Fourteen seasons passed before the feat was matched by Debrecen in 2009.
The new millennium also began promisingly enough, as Ferencvaros claimed a domestic triple of league, cup and Super Cup in 2004. The club again made Hungarian footballing history as the nation's first to qualify for the group phase of the UEFA Cup in 2005. However, they were punished for a string of financial irregularities with compulsory relegation to the second tier in 2006, and their attempt to bounce back at the first time of asking fell agonisingly short on the final day of the following season.
The Green Eagles finally regained their top flight status in 2009, finishing seventh in a season of consolidation. The 2010/11 campaign brought a third-place finish and a shot at the Europa League, although the men from Budapest failed to secure a place in the group stage. Despite the turmoil of recent years and the lack of a trophy since 2004, Ferencvaros comfortably remain Hungary's best-supported and most popular club.
Now under new ownership and with ambitious plans for redeveloping their stadium and training facilities, the Green Eagles will surely not rest until they are once again soaring above the rest of their domestic competition.
The stadium
The 18,000-capacity Florian Albert Stadium opened in its current form in 1974, named simply Ulloi Uti Stadium after the street on which it stands. In 2007, the club elected to honour former great Florian Albert by changing the name in his honour.
Albert remains the only Hungarian player to be crowned European Footballer of the Year. Császár (Kaiser) Albert scored 383 goals in 537 appearances for the Green Eagles between 1958 and 1974, winning the league four times and the cup once. The new Albert Stadium, under construction at a cost of €50 million and with a projected capacity of 21,000, is set for completion in 2012.
Major honours*:
28 Hungarian Championships (1903, 1905, 1907, 1909, 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1932, 1934, 1938, 1940, 1941, 1949, 1963, 1964, 1967, 1968, 1976, 1981, 1992, 1995, 1996, 2001, 2004)
20 Hungarian Cups (1913, 1922, 1927, 1928, 1933, 1935, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1958, 1972, 1974, 1976, 1978, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1995, 2003, 2004)
4 Hungarian Super Cups (1993, 1994, 1995, 2004)
1 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup (1965)

Coupled inductors broaden DC/DC converter usage
More InfoLess Info
Recently, inductor manufacturers have begun to release off-the-shelf coupled inductors. Consisting of two separate inductors wound on the same core, coupled inductors typically come in a package with the same length and width as that of a single inductor of the same inductance value, only slightly taller. The price of a coupled inductor is also typically much less than the price of two single inductors. The windings of the coupled inductor can be connected in series, in parallel, or as a transformer. This article highlights four DC/DC converter topologies that meet common application needs with coupled inductors.

to let alts on game is one thing but a game that forcing you create alts to see the world thats bad imo.
What WoW did perfect on that formula was to let anyone be able to explore everything...ofc the area of the opposite faction will be more hostile at least mob wise (if the server is pve) ,and if the server is pvp u are more likley to be attacked on other faction lands...but noone forced u to not be able go a see that lands anyway.
Wow for example has casulize many things and that sucked but some things really did very right and one was this. freedom on some key elements like this.
they can let everyone be able to go everywhere and just give an option for pvp on/off like it wow on pve servers...its not hard and it could be nice. i know it would be agaist the ES philosophy to see a hostile mob/player and be unable to attack it BUT its better this than prevent players meet each otherand travel alltogether everywhere in game.
Those that like to make alts they gonna make them no matter what... i know i will cause i wanna check some other combination of class/skills etc..im always curious if another combination would be more fun to play. i believe that those restrictions are cheap excuses for not wanting to make it as open world as it should. to favor that 1 huge megaserver.
they could at least have 3 megaservers. one for open pvp,1 for pve (with on and off pvp) and 1 for no pvp besides the bgs...
i bet that the pvp and pve servers would be the most popular... but they want the all around solution with one megaserver and gonna destroy the freedom and the open world philosophy of the game!...........shame.

This game is a MMO, based around player interactions, an important one being factional warfare.
Even if you choose to only explore one faction, do you really need to see all the other factions leveling content? Cyrodil will be the end game, we all know this. So everyone will end up in the same place regardless.
If you really do have to see it, roll an alt, you wont even need to play it once you get past the faction leveling area. Do that twice and you have seen the rest of the world, congrats. Now you can focus on your mains and your faction pride. Problem solved.

This is where you show your inability to undestand the point being made.
This is not about levelling content but freedom to explore.
A long established IP, famed for the great feedom and PvE turned into an MMO where they base the game on LACK of freedom and PvP....you don't see a slight flaw in their logic?
Again you show you just don't get it. It isn't about seeing content, it is about the freedom to explore. Creating alts to see the rest of the map isn't exploring. Seriously, don't be so stupid with your comments or just don't comment if you don't understand the points being made.

PLease Share thouhts

What would this freedom result in for a MMO? Ganking newbies or meaningless conflict. Keeping it to a central area makes it far more controlled and eliminates the oppertunity for griefing.
Within the defined lore of TESO, there is no way that the opposing races would be allowed to enter the opposing faction areas. This isnt Skyrim where you are akin to a god where you can walk where you please, you are another member of an army who would be indescriminantly killed if you entered enemy territory without an army to back you up.
This game is set in a 3 faction war. This game isnt set in a world with 'freedom to explore' just like you wouldnt have freedom to explore a country that you were at war with. If they make it so border guards kill you on sight to improve your feeling of immersion, so be it.
Not to mention that this game is delivering a land mass of Skyrim x 2 for each faction, yet you use Skyrim as an example of freedom. Could you explore Daggerfall in Skyrim? Oh wait, no you couldnt. Why no freedom? Boo hoo.

3. Go play Archeage <jedi mind trick> This isn't the game you're looking for... you can go about your business. Move along
Oh and you've seen TESO crafting already? You even know anything about DAoC crafting? Since both answers are "no", refer to point 3.

The designers justify the lack of fighting outside Cyrodil by stating that they have an agreement to only fight in Cyrodil a contrived reason simply for game mechanics, but it is their reason for it - So why does that change simply because the borders are now open?
Change NOTHING else but alow exploration in ALL territories and the problem is solved. Nothing else needs to be changed or added (in fact they just need to remove the artificial borders which should not have been put in in the first place - wasted effort).
If you were sitting on a train next to a guy in an army uniform you might guess right they were in the army. If you were sitting next to the same guy in a business suite you would be using God like powers to know they were in the army. Faction locking races means you are free to assume someones loyalties because they are of a certain race.
Plus, what about people that don't want to engage in PvP or for character reasons are not involved in the war or actually have reasons to fight against a particular faction?
So during every single war in the entire human history of mankind, no one, NOT ONE person has ever been able to step foot into the lands held by the enemy....how for example does an army INVADE when they are not able to cross the border....please mommy can I cross the street to invade Poland? Just too fucking dumb!
Not this one again, such a lame argument I will not even bother to reply to it except to say, again, fucking reatrded!

I remember in WoW I took a level 10 or 11 orc hunter all the way to Teldrassil to tame the white owls there. I think it was as soon as I got the skill to tame.Forgive me if I got the level wrong. I died like a gazzillion times but boy was it an adventure. I remember coming across some night elf players who all came to stare at me. I am sure they were saying stuff in general I was not privy too but it was such an adventure. I did the same with an elf hunter who I took to Durator to get the tigery looking cat. It was what you feel while on an adventure , strange lands hostile mobs that will kick your ass so bad as look at you. I was dead like in one hit but the adrenaline was pumping. I think that was one of the best experiences in WoW. So yes exploring is a pretty amazing experience especially one thwart with danger and death with every step.

by the way dude... in Skyrim the Empire is not "at war with the nords". There is no war between the Empire and Skyrim. The "war" is the Empire vs a tiny little silly faction called "The Stormcloaks" which, if you did play the game to its fullest, you'd see that they're NO WAY supported by most of the nords.
Even when you start the game you'll hear that guy from Riverwood say "Skyrim has always been part of the empire and the empire was always good for Skyrim" - this doesnt sound like a "war" now does it?

You mean the fight between the Imperials was with a SUBSET of the Nord race called the stormcloaks?
Don't you see the problem with the design of TESO?

What they fail to understand really, is the since RvRvR takes away so much from what it means to be Elder Scrolls, they never should have even tried to make an RvRvR game!
People are stuck thinking "But they are making an RvRvR game, so they have to have all these factions locks. Who cares of TES is about freedom, you can't have freedom in an RvRvR game!"
What the fans of TES are thinking is "Why the hell are you making an RvRvR game knowing that to do so, you have to remove the identy and spirit of TES to make it work? Should you not be making a grand scale PvE game first, then using optional factions players can join, create a balanced PvP system within the PvE game?"
You see, THAT would be an Elder Scrolls game.
What really happend was not that the developers wanted to make an Elder Scrolls RvRvR game, but that they wanted to make DAoC 2 and decided calling it Elder Scrolls would sell a shit ton of copies based off it's name alone.

Well... different ages, different settings.
My country always fought back the countries that border it - today we're allies in NATO and part of a failure called "European Union"... but like I said, we fought eachother for millenia, the last century alone we had 2 world wars that started in Europe and placed us fighting eachother again - so Europe only has been at peace for 70 years.
Whats your point? You mean that EU peace is against the EU Lore? or Nato goes against the "Lore"?
lol... dude things change with the times...

To the Editor:
I think it's shameful the way Democrats are attacking John Kasich's Jobs Budget 2.0 proposal and claiming that it raises taxes. A little research uncovers that his budget not only cuts taxes, but narrows the gap between the rich and poor.
For starters, Ohio's tax code hasn't been fundamentally redesigned since the Great Depression. Can you believe that? Corporate lobbyists have shut the door for years and now it seems they've enlisted the help of Democrats to help spread more lies and bury Governor Kasich.
Ohio's taxes are too high and we still have a long way to go until we can compete with Texas or Florida. We need to start somewhere and cutting taxes by 50 percent for small business owners frees up capital for them to hire people. Further tax cuts for mechanics, construction workers and tow trucks will also save middle class families more money.
Overall, Governor Kasich's proposed budget cuts taxes by $1.4 billion and has a direct impact on middle class Ohio families. Families should decide for themselves what they think of Governor Kasich's budget instead of allowing lobbyists or politicians tell them.

Sunday Homes: Traditional gem
CORPUS CHRISTI - When Keith and Rosie Gould saw their Chicago brick home it was love at first sight. The stately, two-story home, on its tree-shaded lot, stands out from the rest. Best of all, the 4,760-square-foot home has a gorgeous swimming pool area, four living areas, a gourmet kitchen, a four-car garage and a Jacuzzi tub.
Why did you decide on this home? The first time we saw it, we felt an instant connection. Like love at first sight. It was the perfect space for our children and us to grow.
I get ideas/inspiration for my house through: travel.
I save lots of money on my home by: shopping on the internet.
A home item I can't live without: My Gaggenau induction cooktop and grill. I cut my teeth cooking in professional kitchens, and induction lets my creativity soar.
My home's best feature: The Chicago brick exterior.
My dream home would include: a kitchen with a house built around it.
A current home trend I like: People renovating mid-century modern homes.
If my kitchen walls could talk: they would say yum and gush about the epic parties they have witnessed.
What I like most about my home: How every room flows in to the other and the colors.
My home's most complimented feature: The art and the colors.
My next home project: Downsizing now that we are empty nesters.
Favorite home-related book or magazine: We are addicted to Howzz and Pinterest online.
I'll never throw out my: we spent so many years traveling light in the military that we can probably throw out anything and survive happily. We only need each other and a bottle of good wine.
This item would never make it through the front door: Not sure on this one. I would give most things a try to see if it worked, just throw a leopard skin throw on it.
Three items homeowners definitely need are: family, friends, and food.
Worst home advice I ever received: buy a home for investment reasons.
Best home advice I ever received: buy a home out of passion and never look back.
I have an impressive collection of: oddball friends and family.
I will always have space in my home for: anything with a heartbeat.
My home can never have too many: television sets.

Written on Jun 30 // Filled under: Austin
We already told you months ago that Austin would be releasing a song with Becky G called 'Magik'. Well now we can tell you that it seems like Austin will be singing the choruses. Becky G will probably be doing all of the verses. Pretty much the sung bits are what Austin will be doing.
The song will be on the Smurfs 2 soundtrack. Usually when they do this you don't get to hear the song until the end credits. May not happen this time, but just don't be disappointed if you have to wait the whole movie to hear it.
Finally, I've heard Austin singing the chorus. So it turns out Magik is a cover of Magic by B.O.B. So here is his chorus:
I got the magic in me
I've got the magic in me
Magic, magic, magic
I presume the verses will be updated for Becky. Here is the original version of the song if you want to get learning the chorus:
*The finished version of the song could have a different arrangement than what this post says. I haven't heard the finished song so I don't know, but it's a cover of this.

Every year, a select group of students is called forward to accept one of the most prestigious awards the academic community can bestow — selection to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities & Colleges. This exclusive honor is conferred by more than 2,842 schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia and is symbolized by the presentation of an award certificate.
On April 1st, Dr. Patricia Whitley, UM's Vice President for Student Affairs, congratulated students from departments across the University in a ceremony at the Student Activities Center.
Students are nominated to Who's Who on the basis of academic achievement, service to the university, leadership, citizenship, accomplishments which brought distinction to the university, and potential for future achievement.
"Attending the Who's Who Ceremony with our brightest and most involved law students is one of my greatest honors," said Miami Law's Dean of Students Janet Stearns. "These students inspire me with their dedication to the community and their academic achievements, and I look forward to their leadership in the bar once they graduate from UM Law."
3L Corey Gray, a Captain in the U.S. Army Reserve, received a standing ovation in recognition for his military service when his name was announced at the ceremony.
"It was an honor to be selected for Who's Who, said Gray. "The ceremony highlighted the truly amazing contributions that University of Miami students are making locally, nationally, and globally. It is encouraging to know that UM law fosters an environment of empowerment and collaboration that translates into real change that will impact the lives of others for years to come."
This year 15 graduating Miami Law students were named to Who's Who.
We recognize and congratulate the following students on their leadership and service to the University, and on their nomination to Who's Who:

The IHRC is currently postponing all gift acquisitions due to our need to compact and make accessible our collections. We do, however, encourage people who have or know of potentially relevant material to contact us in order that arrangements might be made in the future or in the event that special circumstances require imediate placement at another repository. In any case, it is important that recommendations or offers of material be discussed in advance with our curatorial staff. Please call, write, or e-mail IHRC Program Director.
The IHRC is commited to helping to preserve historical materials that document immigration and ethnic life in America. All of our IHRC holdings can be searched on our Reasearch Collections page. Among the materials we collect are:
Correspondence, diaries, photographs, unpublished manuscripts, family narratives, and oral histories, sheet music and music scores (published or unpublished)
Ethnic newspapers and magazines, books, pamphlets, photographs, church bulletins, posters, flyers, and announcements of community events
Meeting minutes, correspondence, by-laws and constitutions, publications, ledgers and membership rosters, and financial records
Photographs and photo albums, all formats of moving images (movies), video tapes, audio tape and phonograph records, and microfilm
The IHRC does not procur historical artifacts such as craft objects, clothing, tools, and utensils. Those materials properly belong in a museum environment where they can be cared for and exhibited.
It is very important that you contact the curatorial staff to discuss future donation of materials. We will advise you on how to preserve materials at your location. Please call, write, or e-mail IHRC Program Director.
There is no need to make a special effort to arrange or rearrange the materials, as the arrangement may have historical significance. As much as possible, try to maintain the original order of the documents, including placement of photographs.
Many valuable materials are in languages other than English. We rely on multilingual staff members or friends from the various ethnic communities to help us with non-English materials.
Whenever possible, place in unsealed plastic bags (similar in size to fragile items) or in unsealed manila envelopes, keeping them in order as you are placing the materials in boxes.
The following suggestions are optional, but helpful to archival staff in processing materials:
This information helps archivists in processing the collection accurately. A list of materials helps also.
If this is possible, it is again helpful for processing efforts. Should you be able to identify photographs, please do so on the back of the photograph lightly in pencil.

Gloria Bornstein
Fire Station 10 and Fire Alarm Center/Emergency Operations Center
South Washington Street between 4th and 5th Avenues
Fleets and Facilities Department Fire Facilities and Emergency Response Levy 1% for Art
Eight fire-engine red steel sculptures comprise Sentinels, designed to invite pedestrians into the space adjoining the sidewalk along Fire Station 10.
"The artwork playfully explores shifting perspectives through the placement of eight sculptures, diminishing in scale along the upgrade of the Fire Station 10 sidewalk," explains artist Gloria Bornstein. "The sculptures are inspired by my explorations of protective gear of different cultures and the beauty of Asian architecture and folk craft, reflecting the cultural diversity of the Chinatown-International District and Pioneer Square neighborhoods. The multi-sculptural environment represents the guardians of the city. Just as the staff of the Fire Station 10 facility in the Chinatown-International District is responsible for the public safety of the city, the surrounding Asian community has been standing watch over the interests of their neighborhood."
In 2003, voters approved a $167 million Fire Facilities and Emergency Response Levy to build 12 replacement fire stations and seismically upgrade the remaining 19 stations. The Office of Arts & Culture, working with the Fleets and Facilities Department and the Seattle Fire Department developed a program to incorporate site-specific art at Seattle's new neighborhood fire stations.
In 2004, Bornstein, as the design team artist for the Fire Station 10 project, developed an art plan, Different Voices, One Community for the facility. Bornstein recommended the project integrate artwork reflective of the nearby neighborhoods' diverse cultural identities. She proposed Sentinels for the site and identified opportunities for two other artworks. The Office of Arts & Culture issued the call for artworks in English, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese. Stuart Nakamura and the artist team of Nancy Chew and Jacqueline Metz received commissions for the two other artworks, Call and Response and bamboo, luminous).

Richmond Heights Wants to Become "Tourist Destination" -- by Taxing the Hell Out of Tourists
Categories: Bidness
|Admit it: You'd pay ungodly tax rates to vacation here.
But this November, Richmond Heights voters are being asked to approve a tax hike on hotel rooms -- increasing the tax rate as much as five additional percentage points. The reason? The city wants to launch a campaign to promote tourism there.
Because, you know, nothing puts out the welcome mat like a ridiculously high room tax.
And it's not just Richmond Heights. The city of Clayton is also asking voters to approve a five percent rate hike -- this one, the Business Journal reports, to close a budget deficit. (Clayton's total tax rate currently stands at 15.42 percent, the paper reports.)
David Bohm, an attorney with Danna McKitrick, represents hotels in both cities. He filed suit on their behalf last Wednesday to block the propositions from going on the November ballots -- or, if it's too late for that, to block any votes from being counted.
Hotel guests, Bohm says, are frequently turned to in times of budget crisis.
"It's this idea of, if we're going to find revenue somewhere, let's try to raise it from people who don't live in our jurisdiction or vote for us," he says. "The problem is, it tends to backfire."
And that's not just in a case like Richmond Heights, where a city without much of a tourism culture wants to bring in tourists. Even if John Q. Tourist doesn't notice hotel tax rates, they're certainly noticed by meeting planners and business travelers, Bohm says. "New York City at one time had a rate of 20 percent," he says. "They had to scale it back because it was affecting business."
Even more to the point here, Bohm is convinced that the municipal tax hikes are barred by state law. Since St. Louis County already taxes hotel rooms, Bohm believes that state law holds that municipalities in its jurisdiction may not.
St. Louis County Circuit Court Judge Richard Bresnahan is holding a hearing Thursday to weigh the arguments. Because of the timeliness of the issue, he's expected to rule quickly.
Stay tuned! Richmond Heights' future as a tourist destination could hang in the balance! (Or, okay, the tax rate your out-of-town relatives will pay while staying at the Cheshire Inn hangs in the balance ... a bit less dramatic, but probably more accurate.)

Qualitative and Quantitative Usability Testing – a Hybrid Approach
Presentation at
Tim Bosenick, SirValUse Consulting
Matthias Müller-Prove, Sun Microsystems
Qualitative results of usability tests are of high value for the software development process. In many cases they already contain clues how to resolve the user's problem. On the other hand, quantitative data are needed to support the planning and controlling process. Up to now it was not possible to collect qualitative and quantitative data within the same usability test. The classical way of conducting usability test prevents repeatable conditions that are necessary for measures.
A new approach -- developed by SirValUse and Sun -- delivers qualitative and quantitative data within the same study.
