Bruce Springsteen has been confirmed as a headliner for this summer's Hard Rock Calling event after his performance last year was famously cut short by organisers when he unsurprisingly ran well over curfew.
The controversial move was a very public display of the pressures being felt by Hard Rock Calling promoters who had been fighting hard to secure the festival's long-term future in Hyde Part in the face of complaints of excessive noise and disruption from both residents and the local council.
A tentative agreement was reached between the two parties to allow Hyde Park's live music calendar to continue as planned in 2012, but organisers were warned of severe penalties should the new terms be breached, leading to a few twitchy fingers as Springsteen went on late into to the night whilst topping the Hard Rock bill last July.
But with Hard Rock now in a new home across London at the Olympic Park, Springsteen has agreed to return for a second headline performance in two years, and will be joined at the summit of the line-up by Kasabian over the weekend of June 29th-30th.
Paul Weller, Klaxons, The Cribs, Tribes and The Black Crowes have also been selected for 2013.

Get within 100 feet of G2B Gastro Pub off Shannon Road, and the air smells of a wood-burning fire.
And bacon.
Inside the hub of "elevated" pub food, Executive Chef Carrie Schleiffer and her 6-member culinary team darted around the kitchen, slicing chorizo, braising lamb shanks and peeling sweet potatoes. They already had 150 dinner reservations lined up for Saturday night, some due to Triangle Restaurant Week.
G2B is one of 24 Durham restaurants participating in latest iteration of the restaurant week, when foodie hotspots offer specialized menus that appeal to both new customers and the regulars.
Schleiffer, who comes from New York City and studied at the Institute of Culinary Education in Manhattan, normally arrives at 10 a.m. to start food prep, and she's usually last to leave when the night's over.
The kitchen team darted around to the throb of heavy metal music that afternoon - They usually have their station set to the Grateful Dead or Metallica to maintain a quick pace in the kitchen.
"There's going to be a lot of us running around because we're opening in two and a half hours," Schleiffer said.
Their Triangle Restaurant Week menu includes roasted butternut squash soup and a prime steak tartare, which is concocted with capers, shallot, horseradish cream, egg vinaigrette, shaved parmesan and toasted brioche crisp. One of the offered main courses is a pork tenderloin with a bourbon dijon glaze, which comes with a sweet potato mash, toasted pecans and braised rainbow chard.
Joseph Gailes, the "grillmaster" of G2B, started at the restaurant about a month ago, and he said he always comes home smelling of hickory smoke.
Saturday, Gailes concentrated as he cut off the fat of beef hanger steaks and added it to a bowl full of strips of lamb. The mixture would then be ground together, the fat enhancing the flavor of their lamb burger, which is served topped with goat cheese.
He studied at the Art Institute of Raleigh-Durham after switching careers - He used to be a regional vice president for a clothing company.
"You feel like you've been hit by a Mack truck," he said of nights after serving a big crowd. "It's still very rewarding."
"It's grueling, it's physical," Schleiffer added. "You really have to love it, and I feel very fortunate that I have a team that does."
In Brightleaf Square, both Chamas Brazilian Steakhouse and Piazza Italia were participating in Triangle Restaurant Week. They are both owned by the same person, Raquel Siqueira, who has spent about a decade helping to build up the restaurant scene in Brightleaf. She grew up in central Brazil.
Inside the old brick and wood-paneled building, families sat at tables covered in white tablecloths. They had just finished lunch service Saturday, in which they served 350 people, an influx they partly attributed to restaurant week.
This is their third time participating in the week-long event. Gauchos, or cowboys traditional of southern Brazil, visit each table and offer continuous servings of beef, pork, lamb and chicken cuts.
Master Chef Marcelo Cremonese learned Brazilian steakhouse traditions when he lived in South America. He sometimes arrives at the restaurant at 4 a.m. to begin preparing the meat, which he seasons with salt. He lets the flavors speak for themselves.
His favorite cut is the top sirloin, also called picanha - He grabbed a giant skewer, showing off raw and bloody pieces shaped to perfection. The meat was encased in a layer of fat, capturing flavor and tenderness.
Siqueira said her staff can be seen running across the Brightleaf courtyard, back and forth to each restaurant. At Piazza on Saturday, less than a block away, her baker cut strips of dough with a long knife, forming little circles for bread. Strips of yellow dough were carefully fed through a pasta machine.
Siqueira said they pride themselves, at both Chamas and Piazza, in making everything from scratch, down to the sun-dried tomatoes.
When she moved to Durham 15 years ago, she said, when her husband continued his education at Duke, she said she ate her first meal at a Greek restaurant, Taverna Nikos, in Brightleaf, one of the only available local food options at the time. Now she owns 20,000 square feet of space in the square.
"What Durham has to offer today as far as restaurants go has been incredible," she said. "... It was a ghost city when I got here."

Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni hit a new low yesterday when she ordered her Knesset faction to vote against a letter from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urging President Barack Obama to pardon Jonathan Pollard — and then had the nerve to take the podium and declare: "I will not turn Pollard into a political issue. We will give our support to every effort to free him."
Ever since Pollard's 1985 arrest for spying on Israel's behalf, successive Israeli governments have quietly sought a pardon for him. Never before, however, has Israel publicly appealed for his release.
But if there was ever any chance of Obama granting this request, Livni has just killed it by her disgraceful show of partisanship. After all, the Obama administration has made no secret of its preference for Livni over Netanyahu: see, for instance, Hillary Clinton's ostentatious hour-long meeting with Livni at the State Department last month, even as she allotted only 30 minutes in a side room of the Saban Forum that same weekend to the government's representative, Defense Minister Ehud Barak. Thus Obama is highly unlikely to do anything that could be perceived as a victory for Netanyahu over Livni.
Had Livni's faction backed the letter in the vote that Kadima itself requested, this wouldn't be an issue: it would be clear that Netanyahu's request was backed by a wall-to-wall Israeli consensus. But now that claim is impossible. By its vote, Kadima has made it clear that it views freeing Pollard as a lower priority than scoring points off Netanyahu. Livni's assertion of support for "every effort to free him" is worse than meaningless when her party has just torpedoed the one serious effort actually in train.
This isn't the first time Livni has displayed gross irresponsibility as opposition leader. Her joint interview to ABC with Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad last month, at which the two of them teamed up to blame Netanyahu for the lack of progress in the peace process, was also a new low. I can't remember any previous Israeli opposition leader staging a joint press conference with an adversary in order to smear her own country to the American public — especially when said adversary, rather than her government, is the one who has actually been refusing to negotiate for the past two years.
But at least there she attacked Netanyahu over an issue on which they ostensibly disagreed. In the Pollard vote, Livni sabotaged him over an issue on which they ostensibly agreed.
The pity is that Livni actually began her stint as opposition leader by demonstrating impressive national responsibility. Unfortunately, the statesmanlike veneer didn't last long.

Education officials will cut the ribbon on 78 new city schools in September, bringing the number of public schools opened during the Bloomberg administration to 656 — a record for any New York mayor.
Mayor Bloomberg has made closing troubled schools and replacing them with new ones a longstanding signature of his education reforms of the past decade.
And now, with Bloomberg's last school year as mayor beginning in September, he is patting himself on the back for creating better options for city students.
"Our administration has created a record number of schools and programs for our students — which have helped lead to record gains," said Bloomberg.

PerfectScript Ramblings ... by JDan
1-The Birth and History of PerfectScript
WP and SSI
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
Oops, wrong story. This is the story of the birth, ancestry and descendants of the PerfectScript macro language in WordPerfect for Windows.
A long time ago (1979), in a city far, far away called Orem, Utah, in the United States of America, a legend was created, which we now call WordPerfect.
During a summer two years earlier, Alan Ashton, a professor of Computer Science at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, had started a 50-page design for a word processing program, which he called WP, that would be revolutionary for the time. It would be interactive, rather than requiring post-processing.
A year later, a local engineering firm called Eyring Research, had a contract with the city of Orem, to provide them with a word processing program to run on the city's Data General computer. An employee of Eyring and a student and friend of Alan's, Bruce Bastian, proposed that Eyring use Alan's design for this contact for Orem, while allowing Alan to retain the ownership rights to the design and code. Eyring agreed.
After working days, nights, and Saturdays with Alan, the project was completed in the spring of 1979. Later that year, the City of Orem allowed Alan and Bruce, on their own time, to use its Data General computer to add new features to the program, in exchange for free updates to the program.
That September, Satellite Software International (SSI) was created to make WP available commercially, and in March 1980, SSI*WP was completed and sold for $5500 (compared to the $15000 for dedicated word processing systems) to corporate customers using Data General computers. By this time, SSI had hired Pete Peterson to be an office manager.
In the spring of 1978, while Alan and Bruce spent their nights working unpaid on WP, I attended one of Alan's computer courses at BYU, which changed my life forever. As a result of this class, I changed my major from Chemistry to Computer Science, and began my career in software development two years later (but not with Alan).
WordPerfect and WordPerfect Corp
Meanwhile, SSI went on to produce version 2.20 of WP for the IBM personal computer in late 1982, which they called WordPerfect (for the lack of a better available name). For more than the next 10 years, WordPerfect would sell for $495.
In 1984, the company changed its name to SSI Software, and by that time had released versions 3.0 and 4.0 of WordPerfect. In 1986, the company changed its name again, this time to WordPerfect Corp, and had released versions 4.1 and 4.2.
Macros and Windows
Versions 5.0 and 5.1 were released in 1988 and 1989, and somewhere around this time, macros were added to WordPerfect. But I don't know if this was in version 4.2, or not until version 5.0. Maybe someone can let me know.
During this time, Microsoft had been working on improving their graphical user interface (GUI) system for DOS, which they were calling Windows, and IBM had been working on their GUI, called OS/2 Presentation Manager.
WordPerfect Corp, like many other companies, was concentrating its efforts on developing a GUI version of WordPerfect for OS/2, rather than Windows. When Microsoft released Windows version 3.0 in May of 1990, its popularity caught a lot of companies unaware, and there was a lot of scrambling to release Windows versions of their programs. It wasn't until November of 1991 that WordPerfect for Windows version 5.1 was released. While designed for a GUI system, WPWin 5.1 was designed to have at least the same capabilities as the DOS 5.1 version released two years earlier. Release of a DOS 5.2 version was postponed so that WPWin 5.1 could be completed and released.
In early 1991, I started work at WordPerfect Corp to help with the release of WPWin, but was not initially assigned to the macro group, and worked on the File Manager that was bundled with WPWin.
WPDOS and WPWin Macros
Even though the initial release of WPWin had to have at least the same capabilities as the DOS version, it would obviously be different in many ways. The user interface would use the graphical screen mode of Windows to truly give the user WYSIWYG capabilities (What You See Is What You Get).
The macro language (simply called "the macro language") was also different. The DOS macro language was based on the keystrokes used by a user to perform an operation. The problem with this approach, is that the keystrokes to perform an operation are different in the English version of the program, and the international versions. So a macro recorded in English, won't work or won't produce the same results when played in, say, the Spanish version.
An additional requirement for the WordPerfect for Windows products was that there would be a common macro language for all the products which would be produced, and since by design, multiple programs could run at once in Windows, then a macro should be able to control all the running programs at once.
Neither of these issues could be easily solved with the current WPDOS 5.1 macro language, and so these requirements led to the creation of an independent development team (separate from the WordPerfect development team), and the design of a substantially new macro language for WPWin. This macro language was loosely based on the macro language work which had been developed and used in the MacIntosh version of WordPerfect, and would appear quite similar to a conventional programming language like BASIC or C, where the commands for WordPerfect would appear as subroutine calls with data passed as parameters. The macro language would also be controlled by a program separate from WPWin (the Macro Facility), and would not require a special program to edit or create a macro, but macros would be stored as WordPerfect documents, and WPWin itself would be used to edit a macro.
This gave birth to what would eventually be called "PerfectScript" in the years to come.
WordPerfect for Windows version 5.1 was finally released with this new macro language in November of 1991, and the release of WordPerfect for Windows would cause the largest jump and highest month ever in sales in the history of WordPerfect Corp.
Macros and DDE
Part of the design of Windows, was that programs could communicate with each other, and one program could control another, through a technology called Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE). Using DDE, WordPerfect could "register" a service with Windows, where any program could send commands to WordPerfect. These commands are the same commands available from a macro, and so any program capable of sending commands through DDE could control WordPerfect similar to how the macro language could control WordPerfect.
On the opposite end, using DDE, the WordPerfect macro language was given the ability to control any other DDE aware program, such as Microsoft Word.
Early the next year, WordPerfect and the macro language was enhanced, and WPWin 5.2 was completed and released in 1992, the year that Pete Peterson left WordPerfect Corp. By then, efforts were already underway to produce version 6.0 for DOS and Windows, with the DOS project several months ahead of the Windows project.
The WPWin macro language proved to be such a successful design and concept, that the same macro language design was adopted and included into the version 6.0 DOS product as well. Due to the differences in the underlying operating systems (DOS vs. Windows), and because of the time lead in the DOS project, two separate development teams were set up, which resulted in similar, but not identical macro languages.
It is important to understand that the macro language really consists of two parts. The core macro programming language defines the overall format and syntax of a macro. This defines the rules which govern the form in which a macro is written, how a "command" is specified in a macro file, how data parameters to the commands are separated, what variable names look like, etc.
This core macro language also contains a set of commands itself, which do not involve a product like WordPerfect, but are used to control how a macro flows and the order of macro commands. These commands are called "programming" commands.
The other part of the macro language, by far the largest part of the macro language, consists of the "product" commands. These commands are not actually part of the macro system itself, but belong to the "products", like WordPerfect.
The macro language allows itself to be extended dynamically by a product such as WordPerfect, to include commands that have meaning to that product. The core macro system acts as a traffic coordinator to pass these commands to the products, where the operations for those commands are performed, and the results are returned to the core macro system to be used in subsequent commands and statements.
For WPWin 6.0, it was decided that there was no need for a File Manager, and its follow-on project was canceled, so I was reassigned to the macro team for WPWin 6.0 (which now only had a single person). My first assignment was to review the DOS and Windows 6.0 macro languages, and to recommend changes that would make them more compatible. This was limited to the core macro language, the programming commands. For the most part, these were very close, and after a few changes in both the DOS and Windows macro systems, the core macro languages were about 95% compatible with each other, with provisions for a macro to identify and include macro code and commands specific to the DOS or Windows versions.
Concurrent with the DOS and Windows development efforts, development of a Unix version of WordPerfect 6 was also begun, based on the same code as the Windows version. The Unix version would then actually be closer in capability and function to the Windows version than the DOS version would be.
In 1993, version 6.0 of both DOS and Windows were released, about six months apart, with DOS released first (version 6 of WordPerfect for Unix was also released this year as well). In April of 1994, Novell attempted to compete directly with Microsoft in the applications arena, and bought out WordPerfect Corporation and its entire product line, and released WPWin 6.1 in the end of 1994, and WPDOS 6.1 in 1995.
The PerfectScript Name
Meanwhile, Microsoft was developing their 32-bit version of Windows, which was released as Windows 95, and the development teams at WordPerfect began the porting of WPWin to this new 32- bit environment for version 7. It was during this time, that more people were added to the core macro language development team, including one from the Unix macro team.
But before this effort was completed, Novell concluded that it needed to refocus on what it had been successful with in the past - networking software - and sought a buyer for its Applications group. A long time and large distributer of WordPerfect software, Corel Corp, took Novell up on this offer, and purchased the WordPerfect product line from Novell in 1996, and kept the Orem development teams intact.
In order to increase product identity for the announcement of the 32-bit version of WordPerfect for Windows 95, marketing coined the term and announced the creation of PerfectScript as the common macro language for version 7. This caught us in the macro development team by surprise, as we wondered whether we should be working on some new product called PerfectScript. Our "fears" were calmed, when it was explained that this was the name that was being given to what we had already been working on for some years now, the WordPerfect macro language.
Version 7 was released in early 1996, followed by a re-branded Corel version of WPWin 6.1. However, not everyone in the world jumped onto the 32-bit Windows 95 bandwagon, and so Corel back ported some of the new features that were added in WordPerfect 7 for Windows 95, to a new release of version 7 for 16-bit Windows 3.1, containing the version 6.1 macro language.
After the release of version 7 in 1996, work on WPWin version 8 was begun. This work was completed and version 8 was released in the fall of 1997. Shortly before this release, a Linux version of WordPerfect 8 was also begun and eventually released, being based (to my knowledge) on the Unix code base (from version 6).
PerfectScript and OLE Automation
As the Windows 95 platforms matured, Microsoft introduced a technology similar in concept to DDE, that, like the earlier DDE technology, would allow a program to expose a set of commands to the outside world, and allow one program to programmatically control another program. In essence, a program could be viewed as a library or set of commands to perform some set of operations, and another program could call upon those commands to perform those operations. Originally called OLE automation, today this technology is usually called ActiveX automation.
There are an enormous number of similarities between OLE automation, and the techniques used by the original WPWin macro language.
To use OLE automation, the controlling program would usually be a programming language, such as Visual BASIC (VB), or Delphi or C (or PerfectScript). This programming language would have a core set of built in "programming" commands, but could be extended by, and call upon independent sets of commands provided by a separate application or product.
New in PerfectScript for version 8, was the ability to be an OLE automation controller program. Now, PerfectScript could send commands to the other WordPerfect products using its native command passing technology, or it could send commands through DDE to any DDE aware application, or it could send commands using the OLE automation technology to the growing number of OLE automation capable products.
PerfectScript and VBA
Late 1997 marked the start of development on WPWin version 9. However, a few months before the scheduled fall 1998 release of version 9, Corel found it necessary to close the Utah development office, and except for a small handful of core developers from all the product teams, all remaining development was transferred to its Ottawa headquarters. This delayed the release date of version 9 until April of 1999.
New in WordPerfect version 9, was the addition of VBA (Visual BASIC for Applications) as an alternate macro language. After the release of version 8, Corel's PerfectScript development team and the third party developer support group devised an add-on code module that would accept commands from an OLE automation controller program, such as Visual Basic or Delphi, and would translate these commands into the equivalent PerfectScript macro commands, and send these commands through the PerfectScript macro system to WordPerfect.
In version 9, this separate OLE automation interface was added directly into WordPerfect version 9, which allows access to the WordPerfect product commands from any OLE automation controller. VBA is one such OLE automation controller, and the VBA macro language was added to version 9.
In addition, another separate OLE automation interface was also added to PerfectScript, which provides access to the majority of the core "programming" commands in the PerfectScript macro language as well. But in most cases, this OLE automation interface is not required, since VBA provides its own programming command set that can be used in place of most of the PerfectScript core programming commands.
After the release of version 9, work on several service packs was performed to make changes needed by the continuing release by Microsoft of new versions of Windows, including Windows 2000, Windows ME and the Windows Terminal Server 2000.
PerfectScript and Linux
You may recall the public fervor over Linux during late 1999 and early 2000. Part of this was due to the release by Corel of WordPerfect version 9 in March 2000 that would run on Linux, which provides the "full" capabilities of the Windows version of WordPerfect (except for OLE automation and VBA). This Linux release utilizes the full source code from WPWin version 9, including the full PerfectScript macro language.
The Future of PerfectScript
We now stand at the beginning of WordPerfect version 10. Over the 10 years since the "birth" of the macro language that we now call PerfectScript, the macro language has changed and evolved quite a bit, but continues to be more than 90% compatible with macros written 10 years ago. The backward compatibility of just the PerfectScript core macro programming language is close to 99% for any pervious version of the macro language for Windows.
So what of the future of PerfectScript? Corel has publicly expressed their support for PerfectScript into the future. Of all viable macro languages that could be used by WordPerfect, PerfectScript is the macro language of choice for the WordPerfect product line. It is fully integrated into all the WordPerfect family of products, and provides capabilities not available in alternate choices. I believe we can safely see PerfectScript's continued existence and support for a long time to come.
Next Time
In following articles, we will discuss in more detail, various aspects of the core PerfectScript macro programming language, addressing the "programming" commands rather than the "product" commands of any particular product like WordPerfect. These concepts can be equally applied to macros written for any of the applications which support PerfectScript macros: WordPerfect, Presentations and QuattroPro.
We will discuss how to convert macros from older versions of the macro language (both the DOS and Windows versions). We will also discuss the specific changes to the core macro language over the years, identifying commands which have become obsolete, and their supported replacements. Other topics will include in-depth discussions of the use of user defined dialogs within a macro, the array data type, calling the Windows API routines using DLLCall, OLE automation, etc.

In case you missed it, the Dukakis Center for Urban and Regional Policy at Northeastern University dropped a bombshell of a report about Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) back in October. Key finding:
"Rising incomes in some gentrifying [Transit-Rich Neighborhoods] may be accompanied by an increase in wealthier households who are more likely to own and use private vehicles, and less likely to use transit for commuting, than lower-income households."
Ironically, they found that enhancing transit infrastructure can actually make ridership go down (and car ownership up) in the neighborhood it serves. That's a puzzling dilemma that deserves some attention.
TOD advocates have understood for a while that infrastructure and design need to be carefully coordinated to produce successful results. Just plop down a new station without changing any of the zoning codes in advance, and you're guaranteed to end up with a park and ride lot surrounded by much of the same 20th century stuff. There's transit, and there's development, but the orientation part is missing entirely.

Chad Henne started the season riding the pine for his new club, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Following a season-ending injury to second year bust Blaine Gabbert, Henne has already gotten his second chance at a starting job in the NFL. Thus far, he has done a very good job of ensuring that he keeps it. In less than half the amount of games as Tannehill, Henne has managed to match our rookie QB's 8 TD passes. He returns this Sunday for the first time to square off against his old club, a place that probably does not hold too many happy memories for him, just much disappointment for promise unfulfilled. But at this point of the season, this is one of the more intriguing aspects of this game, as it holds no playoff implications. In some forums, I see that people are still calculating all the things that would need to happen to get to the postseason, but the reality is that we are done; Tannehill acknowledged as much this week. When all the things that need to happen for the postseason are mostly out of your control, it does little good to speculate on it.
Meet The Dolfans: Week 14Thursday, December 17th, 2009
Like I said Michelle made a pretty great video this week. The bar was rocking against the Jags and it was a great party. I don't really have much to say about it so I will let the video speak for it's self. Come out this Sunday and star in the video for next week. Go Dolphins!

A Walton County circuit judge has ruled in favor of defendants Walton County and the Sandestin Owners Association in the matter of two lawsuits involving the Driftwood Estates subdivision.
On Jan. 30, Judge W. Howard LaPorte granted the defendants' motion for summary judgment in both cases, resulting in neither case proceeding to trial, barring appeal by the plaintiffs.
Plaintiffs Greater Driftwood Estates Homeowners' Association, Inc., and
Samuel Alan Osborne, an individual homeowner, filed the first lawsuit in Feb. 2007, alleging that Walton County's 1988 abandonment of part of a road formerly known as Driftwood Drive was invalid. This section of the right-of-way formerly connected Driftwood Estates with the Sandestin property and provided a second access in and out of the subdivision. A wall now stands on the abandoned section.
"(T)he court finds that the County has complied with all of the provisions of section 336.10, Florida Statutes, as they existed at that time, and that the road was properly abandoned by the County," Judge LaPorte ruled, noting that public records indicate that included in that procedure were public hearings, statements by citizens for and against the abandonment, approval of a resolution abandoning the road section, an agreement with developer Sandestin Bay Estates, Inc., indemnifying the county for any actions resulting from the abandonment, and published notice of the abandonment affording affected persons with the right to challenge the abandonment resolution.
"(A)nyone with a legally cognizable interest in the Driftwood Estates right-of-way had a means to challenge the abandonment at the time it occurred through a petition for certiorari. No challenge was made to the action of the County within the time required," LaPorte also stated.
The judge also determined that none of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit owned property in Driftwood Estates at the time the abandonment resolution was adopted over 20 years ago, and that therefore they do not have "standing" to challenge the validity of the 1988 action.
The second lawsuit was filed in April 2007 by six individual Driftwood Estates homeowners. In this lawsuit the same claim was made that the abandonment had been invalid, and the judge's response was the same as for the first suit. The individual homeowners also alleged that an agreement entered into by the county and Sandestin Bay Estates, to which they claim they were third party beneficiaries, had been breached.
Part of the agreement involving the abandonment had been a provision for Sandestin Bay Estates to provide access to properties according to legal requirements.
Judge LaPorte did not deny the existence of such an obligation but stated, "That access is an obligation of the developer and not the County under the agreement. Therefore, any action to enforce those rights to the extent third party beneficiary rights actually exist, must be brought against the developer and not the County."
In Oct. 2007, a petition for a writ of mandamus filed by the Driftwood homeowner's association and Osborne had also been denied by Judge LaPorte. The writ would have compelled the Walton County Board of County Commissioners to hold a public hearing to determine whether Florida Statutes were followed in the 1988 abandonment action by their predecessors.
That denial of the writ of mandamus has been appealed by the petitioners in the District Court of Appeal for Florida's First District in Tallahassee. Oral arguments in that case took place last week on Feb. 10, and the matter is pending.

Bethlehem, Pa., November 1, 2010--Moravian College recently named George J. Boksan as its director of campus safety and police. Boksan, an alumnus of the College, will begin his position on November 1, 2010.
Boksan has served as captain of police with the Bethlehem Township Police Department (BTPD) since 2003, where he has been responsible for significant supervisory and administrative duties, including the preparation and implementation of policies, procedures, and budgets. He oversees police operations for crimes, emergencies, and other incidents.
He has served a variety of positions with increasing responsibility over his 30 years with the BTPD. He has worked as a detective for 17 years, a field supervisor with the Northampton County Drug Task Force for 4 years, and police captain for 8 years. Boksan earned a B.A. degree in criminal justice administration from Moravian College in 1978. He is certified in both Act 120 Recruit Training and Act 235 Lethal Weapons Training.
The Moravian College Department of Campus Safety is responsible for maintaining a safe and pleasant environment in which to live, work, and learn. Within the Campus Safety Department is the Campus Police force. The Campus Police are charged with the responsibility of protecting life and property, preventing and detecting crime on campus, and providing essential safety services to the College community. The services provided by the department eliminate the necessity of depending upon outside agencies for public safety services, but the Department of Campus Safety works closely with the area law enforcement agencies and fire departments.
Moravian College is a private, coeducational, selective liberal arts college located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Tracing its founding to 1742, it is recognized as America's sixth-oldest college. Visit the Web site at www.moravian.edu.

Rep. Rangel notes before primary: 'If I was a first-termer, it's all over'

Colorado Democrats will decide on whom to choose as their Senate candidate "irrespective of endorsements," incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) said Tuesday.
Voters head to the polls Tuesday to cast their ballot in the contested primary between Bennet and former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, who's waged a Democratic primary challenge from Bennet's left.
Both candidates boast top endorsements, pitting President Obama (who endorsed Bennet) against former President Bill Clinton (who endorsed Romanoff).
Bennet said he's happy to have the president's support, but downplayed the role the endorsements would play in voters' decisionmaking.
"I think it helps — I'm very proud to have his support — but I think the people of Colorado are going to make this decision irrespective of endorsements," he said during an appearance on MSNBC.
Romanoff has surged in recent days, raising the prospect of another defeat for a Democratic candidate favored by the White House. Obama had backed Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.), who lost a Democratic primary to Rep. Joe Sestak in Pennsylvania. The White House was also embarrassed when Democratic Attorney General Martha Coakley lost the special election in January to fill the Senate seat left vacant by the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.).

Rep. Carolyn Kilpatrick (D-Mich.), the mother of a disgraced former Detroit mayor, finds herself trailing her primary opponent, according to a new poll Monday.
Kilpatrick, the seven-term lawmaker from Detroit, trails state Sen. Hansen Clarke 38 percent to 30 in a primary battle for Michigan's 13th congressional district.
If the Democratic primary were held today, 38.1 percent of the district's voters would choose Clarke and 30 percent would vote for Kilpatrick, while another 20.3 percent were undecided, according to a new Detroit News/WDIV poll.
The poll shows struggles for a second straight cycle for Kilpatrick, the mother of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (D), who resigned two years ago and was convicted and jailed on corruption charges.
The former Congressional Black Caucus chairwoman was almost unseated in a 2008 primary challenge as well, when critics made her passionate defense of her son a key issue in the contest. She held off former state Rep. Mary Water and state Sen. Martha Scott in a divided primary field, but fell well short of winning a majority of the primary field.
Though a number of other candidates have entered 2010's contest to unseat Kilpatrick, they drew only a combined 9.5 percent in support from voters in the Detroit district.
The primary election will be held Aug. 3. The poll, conducted by Glengariff Group from July 14-15, has a 4.9 percent margin of error.

A top Obama administration adviser Sunday cast doubt on the
legitimacy of Alvin Greene's Senate Democratic primary win South
Asked if Greene's victory was legitimate, Senior White House Adviser David Axelrod said, "It doesn't appear so to me. The whole thing is odd. I don't know how really to explain it. I don't think anyone else does either."
Axelrod's comments come after House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) suggested last week that Greene's candidacy was a "plant" and called for an investigation.
"How he won the primary is a big mystery. Until you resolve that I don't see how you can claim to be a strong candidate," Axelrod said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Greene is an unemployed military veteran. The Associated Press reported last week that Greene faces a felony pornography charge.

James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said Sunday that experiences in his own primary bolstered suspicions about Alvin Greene being a "plant."

Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) and Lt. Gov. Bill Halter (D) will face one another for the Senate nomination on Tuesday.
May 19, 2010, 03:55 pm
By Michael O'Brien
The AFL-CIO said Wednesday that it would wage a "very aggressive" campaign in the runoff election between Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) and her Democratic primary challenger.
The labor group said it would spend what it needs to in order to help Arkansas Lt. Gov. Bill Halter unseat Lincoln in a Democratic primary challenge.
"We're in it to win it," AFL-CIO political director Karen Ackerman said in a conference call Wednesday. "We are certainly ready and able to spend whatever we need to do on behalf of Halter."
The union said it saw a "real victory for working people" in last night's Arkansas primary, in which neither Lincoln nor Halter received 50 percent of the vote, forcing a June 8 runoff primary between the two.
The AFL-CIO and other labor groups poured millions into the race on Halter's behalf, angered by Lincoln's stance on healthcare reform legislation and a union organizing bill, among other issues.
Ackerman also hailed the victory for Democrats in Pennsylvania's 12th congressional district, and downplayed incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter's (D-Pa.) loss in a Democratic primary. She said that local AFL-CIO officials had decided to back Specter, in part due to their years of support for him.
But she said that their focus had shifted to Arkansas, where they will commit resources to Halter, though Ackerman wouldn't put a price tag on the amount.
"We figure that it is very important to take a stand against incumbents or candidates who are not sympathetic to the needs of working people, and who have not really proven themselves to fight for the economic security of working people," she said.

Gallery: Abandoned Silos Transformed Into a Climbing Gym
The city of Amsterdam wasn't quite sure what to do with three abandoned sewage treatment silos, so they decided to hold a competition to determine the best adaptive reuse project. One of the projects submitted for the competition was by Amsterdam-based NL Architects, who proposed to transform the silos into an incredible set of climbing towers. In addition to the climbing areas both inside and outside the silos, the project would include multi-purpose areas, offices, restaurants and other commercial spaces.
