Stress And Fluorescent Bulbs – Fuzzy Wuzzy Wednesday
I'm typically a very frugal consumer. For instance, I have gone around the house, blissfully replacing all our incandescent light bulbs with energy efficient fluorescent bulbs.
But, recently, I came across some disturbing information that, truthfully, I'd forgotten about in my zealous attempt at frugality.
If you'll remember the studies from a few years ago of the effect of fluorescent lighting on factory workers and school children, you'll know where I'm going with this. Those same studies have resurfaced because of the push to change every light from incandescent to fluorescent by all of us frugal folks.
Yes, fluorescent light bulbs are inexpensive to run, but they can cause some rather disturbing health issues. Studies consistently prove that standard fluorescent bulbs cause stress hormone levels to rise, causing agitation, edginess, fatigue, and general unexplained complaints of feeling ill.
How can we counteract this problem? By replacing the bulbs we are most likely to spend a lot of time under with full-spectrum fluorescent bulbs. These bulbs are often more expensive to buy than regular fluorescent bulbs, but they do have a long life span and offer relief from the bad effects caused by other fluorescent bulbs.
If you or a family member complains routinely of chronic fatigue, stress headaches, or other unexplained sickness AND are working or studying under regular fluorescent bulbs, it may be worth a change to full-spectrum fluorescent light bulbs.
There are many special desk lamps for students, but your standard lighting fixtures can be fitted easily with suitable full-spectrum lighting. There are many ranges, wattage, and styles to choose from, so do your homework before you decide to buy.
This may not be the most frugal choice you make today, but it may just make you feel better and solve those unexplained sick feelings that have been nagging you.
Start your research by clicking here to view some of the lighting options to help you start feeling better with full-spectrum, sunlight mimicking, light. You owe yourself some good lighting!

Steampunk, the wholesome counterculture
I went to the Hand Car Regatta recently. From the description on their website, it is:
"The Great West End & Railroad Square Handcar Regatta & Exposition of Mechanical & Artistic Wonders!
But you can't do better than watching their Flickr stream if you want to get a taste of it (other than being there, that is):
The Regatta, at it's essence, is a race of home-built, people powered railroad cars. But it is far more than that. It is also a street fair with food and drink and music. But most of all, it is a gathering of that most eclectic and indefatigable phenomenon called Steam Punk.
Steampunk, for those in still living in the actual Victorian age, is an artistic movement comprised of art and literature that embellishes a more ornate and less technologically advanced era when steam technology was ubiquitous, and style heavily imbued upon person and machine.
Writers such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells did well to imagine from their own steam driven era (well OK, Wells was on the edge) a more fantastic future for technology. Long after these dreams were replaced by a world of plastic encased microchips, literature once again turned back to less sophisticated, more beautiful imaginings. In the 1980s the term steampunk was coined to describe this new sub-genre of fiction. In the last few decades, steampunk has grown further to incorporate fashion and sculpture as living embodiments of the artistic ideal.
But why call it counterculture?
After attending this year's regatta, I wouldn't call it anything but. Steampunk is not just subculture. It is stylistically embedded within a completely different paradigm of art and history, and longs to make those dreams reality. From steam powered bicycles to multi-ton mobile Victorian houses, steampunk embodies an essence of DIY through apocalyptic times. It is roguish and survivalist, and beautiful.
Beyond this though, steampunk is wholesome. In a family oriented sort of way. Despite its red-hot boiler chambers and dusty appearance, it is not exclusive in any way. Going to the Regatta is like mooring one's airship to a world port, and jumping down to find kids and shops and analog music ringing through the air. There are dignitaries is splendid attire, and there are poor unfortunates clad only in t-shirts and tennis-shoes. But unlike the punk scene (as best I recall it), there is no aggression. Unlike the goth scene, there is no social anxiety driven piety. There are only people and works of art, both of which on many occasion are artifacts of particular pulchritude, neither of which stand in opposition to the lack luster world, other than, perhaps, in being far more appealing to the senses.

Enough already with the shutdown
Express-News Editorial Board : October 9, 2013 : Updated: October 9, 2013 6:47pm
Photo By Tom Tingle/Associated PressNearly 100 protesters gather outside the south entrance to the Grand Canyon to complain about the federal government's refusal to accept financial assistance from local business owners to reopen the park. The shutdown is hurting the nation.
SAN ANTONIO — In Military City USA, it is good news that most of the 23,000 furloughed defense workers were allowed to return to work Monday. But this in no way solves the crisis.
Ask the 3,359 furloughed workers at local Veterans Administration facilities or the 37 National Parks Service workers locally or the workers at the local branch of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development how comforted they are.
Many of the furloughed defense workers here and nationally returned to work as a result of the Pay Our Military Act, approved by Congress before the government shutdown.
It's a solution that amounts to officers on the Titanic choosing who gets to go down with the ship. Defense workers are not the only ones among federal employees considered "essential" to the country and they are not the only ones with mortgages to pay and families to support.
Most of the 400,000 defense workers have been asked to return nationally, but it's key to remember that some 800,000 federal workers were furloughed altogether.
Congress' feeble attempts to date to bandage the wounds it has inflicted are no substitute for the real cure — ending the shutdown immediately, no strings attached. And while members are at it, they should raise the debt ceiling to avoid the catastrophe that will make this shutdown seem like a simple cold. A U.S. default on bills will wreak economic havoc domestically and globally.
In the social media world, there has been a growing clamor for Congress to withhold its own pay until it solves this crisis. Tempting, but not all of Congress is to blame. Chiefly, the House GOP is, and, given the chance, it's likely even enough of these members would pass a clean spending bill if leadership allowed such a measure to the floor.
House Speaker John Boehner is still urging the president to "negotiate," as if he and House tea partiers aren't the ones holding the gun to the nation's head.
Some in Congress are trying to soften this self-inflicted crisis by pushing a measure to pay furloughed workers retroactively. This has merit because these "non-essential" workers haven't walked off their jobs; they've been pushed out. But Texas Rep. Lloyd Doggett isn't wrong when he notes that Congress would then be paying people not to work.
This is a not a solution in any case because most creditors and merchants expect timely payment. We urge creditors, in particular, to extend courtesy and understanding to furloughed federal workers.
And Congress might draw on its own reserves — if they exist — of courtesy, understanding and concern for the common good to end the shutdown immediately and raise the debt ceiling.

Bond in India, Bachchan in Hollywood and Pitbull in Mumbai
• A substantial part of the still-to-be-named 23rd James Bond movie will be filmed in India, with Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Goa confirmed as shooting locations. Daniel Craig is set to go where Shah Rukh Khan and Rajinikanth have been before. "Most of Bond's sequences in India will be shot around trains," says Pravesh Sahni, the line producer of the film. The Sabarmati railway yard in Gujarat, the Dudhsagar waterfalls on the border between Karnataka and Goa, and a portion of the Mumbai-Konkan railway line are all possible spots. In Mumbai, V. T. station, Crawford Market and Mohammed Ali Road are being considered, after director Sam Mendes and production designer Terry Bamber did a recce in the city in April this year. [Hindustan Times]
• Pitbull—you know, the American rapper who has made a entire career out of essentially one song—is "in talks" to perform a "one night only" gig in Mumbai sometime in December. This news comes courtesy the Bombay Times, the same people who got legions of stupid journalists to believe that Imogen Heap is the frontwoman of Massive Attack. So before you "grab somebody and tell them 'Hey!'"—as R&B singer Ne-Yo implores you on Pitbull's hit single "Give Me Everything"—we suggest you wait for official word of his arrival. [Bombay Times]
• Amitabh Bachchan will make his Hollywood debut, albeit a cameo, in Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrman's $125 million-budget 3D movie adaptation of American author F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 literary classic The Great Gatsby, scheduled for release in 2012. Bachchan will reportedly play the character of Meyer Wolfsheim, a business associate of Jay Gatsby, who will be played by Leonardo DiCaprio. [Mumbai Mirror]
• A WikiLeaks cable quotes CEO of UTV Motion Pictures, Siddharth Roy Kapoor stating the obvious—that Bollywood stars are hugely over-paid. Their fees amount to nearly 50 per cent of a film's budget, as opposed to Hollywood, where the leading stars' pay cheques make up only 10 to 15 per cent of the production cost, Kapoor is quoted as saying. Akshaye Widhani, the CEO of Yash Raj Films, is also named in the same cable, in which he is quoted as saying that if the Hindi film business is to survive in the long term, it needs to trim expenses by at least 40 per cent. Actors's fees will become more realistic only after one of the major production companies goes bankrupt, Widhani supposedly said. [DNA]

Year of publication

- Semantics of nouns and nominal number (2001)
- In the present paper, I will discuss the semantic structure of nouns and nominal number markers. In particular, I will discuss the question if it is possible to account for the syntactic and semantic formation of nominals in a parallel way, that is I will try to give a compositional account of nominal semantics. The framework that I will use is "twolevel semantics". The semantic representations and their type-theoretical basis will account for general cross-linguistic characteristics of nouns and nominal number and will show interdependencies between noun classes, number marking and cardinal constructions. While the analysis will give a unified account of bare nouns (like dog / water), it will distinguish between the different kinds of nominal terms (like a dog / dogs / water). Following the proposal, the semantic operations underlying the formation of the SR are basically the same for DPs as for CPs. Hence, from such an analysis, independent semantic arguments can be derived for a structural parallelism of nominals and sentences - that is, for the "sentential aspect" of noun phrases. I will first give a sketch of the theoretical background. I will then discuss the cross-linguistic combinatorial potential of nominal constructions, that is, the potential of nouns and number markers to combine with other elements and form complex expressions. This will lead to a general type-theoretical classification for the elements in question. In the next step, I will model the referential potential of nominal constructions. Together with the combinatorial potential, this will give us semantic representations for the basic elements involved in nominal constructions. In an overview, I will summarize our modeling of nouns and nominal number. I will then discuss in an outlook the "sentential aspect" of noun phrases.
- WH-words are not 'interrogative' pronouns : the derivation of interrogative interpretations for constituent questions (2001)
- I discuss the status of WH-words for interrogative interpretations, and show that the derivation of constituent questions evolves from a specific interplay of syntactic and semantic representations with pragmatics. I argue that WH-pronouns are not 'interrogative'. Rather, they are underspecified elements; due to this underspecification, WH-words can form a constitutive part not only of interrogative, but also of exclamative and declarative clauses. WH-words introduce a variable of a particular conceptual domain into the semantic representation. Accordingly, they have to be specified for interpretation. Different WH-contexts give rise to different interpretations. In a cross-linguistic overview, I discuss the characteristic elements contributing to the derivation of interrogatives. I argue that specific particles or their phonologically empty counterparts in the head of CP contribute the interrogative aspect. The speech act of 'asking' is then carried out via an intonational contour that identifies a question. By default, this intonational contour operates on interrogative sentences; however, other sentence formats – in particular, those of declarative sentences – are possible as well. The distinction of (a) grammatical (syntactic, semantic and phonological) sentence formats for interrogative and declarative sentences, and (b) intonational contours serving the discrimination of speech acts like questions and assertions, can be related to psychological and neurological evidence.

Box Score
CONWAY, Ark. - The Lamar Lady Cardinals suffered a heartbreaking 7-5 loss to Central Arkansas in a Southland Conference softball game Sunday.
Lamar (21-33 overall, 11-13 Southland) carried a 5-3 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning only to see Central Arkansas win it on Melanie Bryant's one-out walk-off grand slam.
"That's a tough loss," Lamar coach Holly Bruder said. "We really needed that win.
Lamar took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first on Beverly Corry's RBI double only to see Central Arkansas (35-16, 14-8) respond with two runs in the bottom of the first.
The Lady Cardinals tied in the fourth on Casey Cromwell's third home run of the season before the Bears regained the lead in the fifth inning on Melissa Bryant's RBI single.
The Lady Cardinals erupted for three runs in the sixth inning. Taylor Duck tied the game at 3 with a pinch-hit sacrifice fly for her first career RBI. Lamar took the lead when Central Arkansas first baseman Ashley Bowell couldn't handle Ashley McDowell's hard grounder. McDowell scampered all the way to third on the play as Tina Schulz and Cromwell scored to put Lamar up 5-3.
Schulz, who relieved starter Shannon Millman with one out in the first inning, retired the side in order in the sixth to preserve the 5-3 lead before running into trouble in the seventh. Schulz retired the first batter in the seventh before Central Arkansas loaded the bases with a single sandwiched between two walks to set up Bryant's heroics.
Cromwell, Jenna Holland Stephanie Meeuwsen had two hits apiece for Lamar, which is 1 1//2 games behind Southeastern Louisiana, who are tied for fifth place. The top six teams qualify for the Southland Conference Tournament.
"We have to sweep if we hope to have a chance," Bruder said. "We are going to need some help as well."

ERWIN — Last week, a state jail inspector paid a visit to Unicoi County.
His inspection of the Unicoi County Jail in downtown Erwin found that the facility is in compliance. The Jail Annex facility also passed inspection.
However, Unicoi County Sheriff Mike Hensley said the inspector advised the county must soon look at replacing its downtown jail.
"In the next few years, we're going to be looking at the expense of building a new jail," Hensley said.
Hensley said this is due to the jail simply "outliving its expectancy." Hensley said he was told by the jail inspector that jails have an operational expectancy of approximately 20 years. The Unicoi County Jail was constructed in the mid-1970s.
The sheriff said he must form a committee, made up of county commissioners and representatives from the County Technical Advisory Service and the Tennessee Corrections Institute, before next year's inspection. Hensley said this committee will be responsible for providing ideas and suggestions. The inspector has also offered to provide the Unicoi County Commission with specifications on the new facility, Hensley said.
"This is nothing that's going to be done next year or possibly for the next two years," Hensley said of the new jail's construction. "It's somewhere down the road, but we do have to have this committee formed by next year."
Hensley said Unicoi County is held to the same mandates as larger counties with stronger tax bases. He said he understands that funding the construction of a new jail may be difficult due to costs the county faces and the fact more than half of Unicoi County is federally owned.
"I'm very familiar with the crisis this county is in as far as financials," Hensley said. "We're still paying on the new high school. We've built a new middle school, a bus garage, and we've got things that we're having to pay for. Our tax base is very small here. I'm very familiar, but this is not my call. This is their call. And I would hope the citizens understand it's not me saying 'I need a new jail.' "
But Hensley said he intends to alleviate as much of the financial burden as possible by seeking funding through grants and working with organizations, such as the Tennessee Sheriffs' Association.
"There's no doubt it's coming to our county, and I'm going to try to use every resource I can to help offset the cost of that," he said.
Some cost-savings options are already present, Hensley said. He said there is space for expansion at the Jail Annex property.
"Right now, there's no doubt that down the road, and I'm not putting a time frame on it because I can't right now, but I know down the road in the next few years we're going to be looking at building a new jail or maybe possibly building another facility out here at the annex. There's a lot of avenues they'll just have to look at and what they'll allow us to do."

Motion: Adding Lighting Effects in Post demonstrates how to use any version of Motion to easily add animated lighting effects to existing footage. Going beyond basic techniques, Chris Meyer shares his personal experience and uses many examples to teach the best way to select and fine-tune lighting clips to enhance a variety of underlying shots. He presents techniques for subtle enhancements that will help hold the viewer's attention while adding production value to virtually any shot.
Hi! I'm Chris Meyer of Crish Design and I'd like to share with you a technique that we use to add animated lighting effects to live-action footage, which has already been shot. Quite often we get footage from clients, which is technically correct. It's well composed, it's evenly lit, but it just lacks that certain magic or something that keeps the viewer's attention. So what we do is we find a second clip that contains just interesting lighting and shadows and blend it on top on the original footage. Now the technique itself is simple. What takes a little bit more work is finding the right lighting clip to match on top of your live footage.
So we're going to spend a lot of time in the next few movies talking about what works or doesn't work for a lighting clip, how to pick a lighting clip that does complement your footage and how to use effects, transformations and other things to better tweak-in that lighting to make it really enhance the footage. We'll show you things that work and things that don't work so well, so you have an idea of what might work on your project. So with that, let's get started.

Bloodlines Series. Just how many books will there be?
As we all know, after writing the first five books of the Vampire Academy series, Richelle extended her contract with Razorbill Publishing to include seven more books, one of those was the final in the Vampire Academy series, Last Sacrifice. I've read elsewhere that there could possibly be up to eight books in the Bloodlines series, which would be awesome. I guess depending on where Richelle is planning to take the Bloodlines series in this could be the case, but she could also write less…
Here's the blog entries where she discusses her contract with Razorbill:
Bloodlines book 1 was released on August 23, 2011. Book 2 is called The Golden Lily and will be releasing May 2012.
How many books do you think there will be in the Bloodlines series? Any theories on what might happen?

Boutique sailing with Uniworld: the luxury river cruise touch
Designed with the same elegant flair and run with the same attentive precision, Uniworld ships reflect the benefits of a close partnership with our sister company, the Red Carnation Hotels. Together, we combine our expertise to present the world's "ONLY" authentic boutique hotel experience on the water.
A boutique hotel is a stylish and exclusive enclave, meant to stimulate the senses and nourish the soul. Uniworld's partnership with Red Carnation Hotels, an award-winning group of five-star luxury boutique properties, guarantees a first-class experience—one where expectations are always met, and often exceeded.
Beatrice Tollman, the founder, president, and guiding designing light of Red Carnation Hotels, has personally placed her stylish stamp on each meticulously crafted Uniworld ship. Everything we do has one goal in mind:delighting you. Mrs. Tollman's selection of fine art and antiques from private collections and world-renowned auction houses ensures that every moment you spend onboard is as memorable as those you spend onshore.A HOME LIKE NO OTHER
Each Uniworld ship carries its own cachet, and each has a unique story to tell. Rich in character, spectacular in design, and unyielding in attention to every detail, your ship is more than just a way to get from one destination to the next: it's a place for discovery and enjoyment. A grand sapphire Baccarat chandelier from New York's famed Tavern on the Green lends interest and history. A petite Picasso watches over a cozy sitting area, while a working fireplace warms another. Images of Hollywood royalty line the walls of a satin-upholstered corridor, inviting movie enthusiasts to indulge in a bit of trivia. There's a visual feast at every turn. Public spaces, suites, and staterooms are all afforded the same level of thoughtful design, resulting in a symphony of detail and harmony. We are happiest when you feel you are a respected guest in the finest of homes—ours.
True five-star luxury is felt as much as seen. Fine hoteliers make their guests feel welcome in many ways, but most importantly by getting to know them and being aware of their personal preferences. It's a pleasure when the waiter remembers how you like your eggs prepared "sunnyside up" at breakfast, or when the bartender knows you prefer your favorite drink with that little extra twist. It's the captain stopping by your dinner table to continue the conversation you began yesterday, or the housekeeper remembering that you like herbal tea in the afternoon. Just like our ships, we truly understand that each of our guests has individual tastes and preferences. Special touches let you know how much we appreciate you and how dedicated we are to providing exactly what you desire, exactly when you desire it.

I like these shoes
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These shoes fit true. I bought them to replace my existing work boot. They are light, and comfortable. I was not sure about what size to order, but I ordered my normal size. I have not been let down with the quality, so far. I work in conditions exposed to all elements. I did not think I would like the speed lacig system, but after putting them on and taking them off, I appreciate it. I would recommend this shoe for all conditions.

search for good wor bar
I just came back from NYC, and had one of the best wor bar! Now I am craving for wor bar all the time... Do you happen to know any place that does great wor bar?
re: chefboyardee
Wor Bar.....14.95
Sautéed beef, shrimp, chicken and scallops in a delicious black
bean sauce. Stir-fried with broccoli, snow peas, onion, pepper.
Served on a sizzling platter.
re: ScubaSteve
where would that be???
re: coffee1004
i don't remember, i just did a google search and pulled the most represenative description.
Wor bar, in Mandarin guo ba, literally means "stuck to the wok" in Chinese. It is the rice krispy stuff that used to happen when stir-fried rice burned and stuck to a wok, though something that looks like a rice krispy cake can now be bought sometimes in supermarkets.
The stuff is usually served up in a non-spicy brown sauce, and typicaly atop an iron plate. The hot sauce and tasty ingredients (usually at least shrimp, often "three flavors" or san xian of beef, shrimp and chicken) are poured over the guo ba and the iron plate, creating a wonderfully theatrical sizzling sound in the process.
My favorite inconvenient place for guo ba is Clinton's Taste of China, a hole-in-the-wall Sichuan place on the Boston Post Road about 25 miles east of New Haven (and yes, I've made road trips out there just for Sichuan food -- up there with New Taste of Asia in my book, may the latter rest in peace). Short of that, I've had pretty good guo ba at Sichuan Garden <http://www.sichuangarden2.com/>.

From the "Ignoring the Rules 'Cause we Can" department: Last week I was WALKING my bike on the sidewalk on the Rillito River overpass at Campbell. I was suddenly startled by loud walkie-talkie garble right behind me,and turned around to find two Tucson bike cops RIDING on the sidewalk. Not only were they violating the cycling laws they were on the streets to enforce, but they were endangering a pedestrian on a very narrow walkway. Aside from their radio noise, they did not even announce their approach. Was this was an isolated incident? Let's demand that all bike police practice what they preach, and rule by example.
TPD wraps up enforcement; receives money to extend campaign
The Tucson Police Department wrapped up their month-long bicycle and pedestrian safety campaign, but additional funds from the Governor's Office of Highway Safety will allow them to continue the campaign throughout the year.
According to Sergeant Jerry Skeenes, who has been in charge of the campaign, the department will spread the money out over the rest of the year to keep the awareness up.
"It won't be quite as intense," Skeenes said.
The original funding ran out on Sept. 23 and resulted in over 1,600 tickets being written.
Skeenes said past targeted enforcement campaigns were the result of complaints from people in the community, which meant they were going out and trying to correct a problem. This time they were given the money and could use it how they saw fit.
"We were not told how to do it," Skeenes said. "They just gave us money and told us to make it safer for bicyclists and pedestrians."
Because of the flexibility, he said they could work with the bike community to enforce the laws that protect cyclists.
Erik Ryberg, an attorney representing bicyclists and a critic of TPD's past actions against bicyclists, said he was pleased with the results from the campaign but said there was still room for improvement.
"It is an immense improvement from what has been occurring in the past," Ryberg said.
He said he was glad to see the police department responded to cyclists' complaints about the Mountain Avenue and Grant Road intersection.
"That is an example of TPD listening to bicyclists," Ryberg said. "As far as I know, this is pretty much the first time that has ever happened."
He was equally happy the officers tried to find motorists who violated the three-foot rule.
"It is a huge step forward that TPD is even considering these kinds of operations," he said.
Despite the improvement, Ryberg said he still saw officers setting up at the Fourth Avenue underpass, ticketing cyclists who weren't just blowing through the intersection but who also weren't coming to a complete stop either. He said that type of behavior isn't what is causing injuries.
"I think we should remember that most of the time, when cyclists are injured it is because of a motorist violation," Ryberg said.
Skeenes said there were both some bright spots and challenging situations during the enforcement.
According to Skeenes, the cyclists who were stopped were more generally more aggressive and angry than motorists who know they violated the law. Many of the cyclists thought they were actually riding safely and that the laws were wrong.
Pima County bicycle and pedestrian program manager Matt Zoll also works closely with the bicycle ambassadors who helped educate cyclists as well as the officers who were part of the enforcement.
Skeenes said handing out the information provided by the bike ambassadors was helpful in showing those cyclists why the way they were riding is dangerous.
Zoll said the point of having the ambassadors out there was to educate, not be an extension of the police.
"We are just there as a resource," Zoll said. "We are the soft approach."
Skeenes said he was pleasantly surprised by the support he received from the majority of the bike community.
"I never had a group of people that actually worked with us like the bike community did," Skeenes said. "That was just amazing how great the support was. We could work together to achieve a goal of trying to make it safer for cyclists. I've been here for 16 years and that was very impressive."
Ryberg said overall he was happy with the enforcement and thinks the bike community should be proud.
"I think it is important for bicyclists to be proud of the fact that we are actually making a dent in the behavior of our law enforcement agency," Ryberg said.
Ryberg hopes the changes will continue and become even more pronounced as the police department spends the additional $30,000 they received.
"I hope they will think hard about how to spend this money in the most efficient manner to protect bicyclists," Ryberg said. "If they are measuring their success by how many tickets they write then they are going to go to Fourth Avenue and University and they are going to write tickets all day long. If they measure their success in how much of a dent they make in the population of injured bicyclists, then they are going to look at things like headlight violations, wrong way riding and the kinds of violations motorists commit that put bicyclists in danger."
Zoll said he wants to continue working with TPD to develop a plan for spending the rest of the money.
"My hope is that we could sit down and talk about the program and how we can help more," Zoll said. "It would be nice to try to do this as carefully as possible and as proactively as possible."
Editor's note: The data provided by TPD doesn't always make a distinction between cyclists, pedestrians and motorists. Therefore the numbers may be off slightly.
Not perfect, but definitely a big improvement
As Erik said in the article, I hope that this money is really used to target the behavior that really causes problems, rather than just to write as many tickets as possible for trivial violations. I got a ticket for not coming to a complete stop near 4th and University during the past month, as did a fair number of other people. While I was waiting for the officer to write my ticket, I watched numerous cars roll through the same intersection going at least the speed that I did. And by the time I left 4th Ave in the evening, when at least a few of the drivers on that road were a little tipsy, there were no officers to be seen. At http://azbikelaw.org/blog/there's a listing of all cyclist fatalities in AZ, and that makes it pretty clear what the causes of cyclist deaths (and presumably lesser injuries as well) are--the majority are due to unsafe drivers, some are due to totally stupid and clueless cyclists, and as far as I can tell none are due to cyclists who may not come to a complete stop but otherwise respect right of way and check that things are clear before proceeding.
Where are the other 34 percent of citations on that 'by the numbers' chart? Did they ticket 400 pedestrians for j-walking? Also, like Erik said, still heard too much about stop sign violations. And, I really wish cops would just have a box of lights and give them to cyclists they pull over without them. @Carolyn, 446 was number riding on the sidewalk... I hope there weren't that many cars driving on the sidewalk.
I would like to know how many drivers would have been ticketed for stop-sign violations (as compared to the 446 cyclists).

Compact: Optimize and Accelerate
How to get more value from your ERP system?
This edition of Compact sheds light on a number of new options in the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) domain that are either available already or may become so in the future.
In the face of these challenges, managing IT risk and compliance has become even more critical, as IT failures can lead to reputational damage, customer and market valuation loss, and an increase in privacy issues and high-profile legal exposure. In this environment, enhancing IT controls is crucial to help ensure businesses are managed and controlled appropriately, and functioning reliably.
The right technology, implemented properly, appropriately managed and monitored, can lead to significant gains in growth and efficiency. It is essential to get sound business advice to help ensure technology risks are managed.
We work with clients to analyze business technology issues within their businesses. We assist clients with the following areas:
At KPMG we focus on the business impact of technology rather than systems implementation, and we are not tied to any hardware or software suppliers. As a result, our advice is independent and geared to the specific needs of each client.
Keeping pace with technology and taking advantage of the tremendous opportunities offered by technological innovation is paramount to us, but we are also aware of the risks involved and the responsibility at the Board level to control these risks.
With the global scope of many organizations, we are aware of the need to develop innovative solutions that are repeatable and easily distributable. As a global organization ourselves, we are able to provide global guidance and local support where necessary.

Your surgeon will use staples to divide your stomach into a small upper section and a larger bottom section. The top section of your stomach (called the pouch) is where the food you eat will go. The pouch is about the size of a walnut. It holds only about 1 ounce of food. Because of this you will eat less and lose weight. The second step is the bypass. Your surgeon will connect a small part of your small intestine (the jejunum) to a small hole in your pouch.

The Huawei Activa 4G LTE Comes To Metro PCS
Initially fourth generation cellular connectivity was reserved for the well to do or really, those who could afford it. Metro PCS has been launching some excellent 4G devices with the help of manufacturers like Samsung and LG. With devices like the Samsung Attain and the LG Connect strengthening the 4G line up over at Metro PCS it looks like Huawei wants in as well. Bringing 4G to the masses has long since been achieved, the next step is making it affordable and Metro PCS is helping lead the way into that future. Huawei has introduced their newly announced Activa 4G as their first 4G LTE device that will run with Metro PCS and be super affordable.
The Huawei Activa was announced late last week under the wings of the budget friendly Metro PCS carrier. So what does this new amazing little smart phone have to offer? Well, first and formost, affordability. The Huawei Activa provides a solid smart phone experience with 4G LTE connectivity for next to nothing, when compared to other 4G LTE options of course. The Activa starts with a perfectly sized 3.5 inch HVGA LCD touch screen display that offers up a 320×480 pixel resolution at 165 pixels per inch. Internally the Activa is packing in all it needs to stay connected. Firstly, it starts with the likes of Android version 2.3 aka Gingerbread. Delving a bit deeper shows us that a single core 800 MHz chipset will give Android its go. But that solid and more than capable processor is backed by the likes of 151 MB of RAM and expandable micro SD memory up to 32 GB. Around back the Huawei Activa packs in a 5 mega pixel camera and LED flash that comes with features like Geo Tagging, and video recording capabilities. Up front, a .3 mega pixel or VGA quality front facing camera is available for all your video conferencing needs. Additional details give the Huawei Activa connectivity features like GPS positioning, built in Navigation thanks to Android, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and a micro USB charge and sync connection. The Huawei Activa will ship pre loaded with a 4GB micro SD card. Luckily for anyone picking up the Activa, this memory card will come with a digital copy of the best move ever, Kung-Fu Panda 2. The Huawei Activa is available now for the low price of $149 bucks. That's contract and commitment free. The Huawei Activa is available now, but that $149 price tag has been branded as a "limited time" offer, so you may want to jump on it now if you're interested.
So? Anyone interested? Sound off in the comments below and let us know what you think of this new super affordable 4G LTE smart phone. Oh and remember folks, the very best in Huawei accessories are here.

Berkeley County Council felt a little bit of the Christmas spirit in its final meeting of 2013 on Dec. 9, extending the holiday for employees by approving a resolution to close county offices on Dec. 26.
With Christmas falling on a Wednesday this year all Berkeley County will be closed on Tuesday, Dec. 24 and Wednesday, Dec. 25, which is Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
As everybody knows Tuesday and Wednesday are already designated as employee holidays, said Purchasing and Human Resources Committee Chairman Dennis Fish. The states granting off Thursday and were just extending the holiday to give them off Thursday to match the state.
The resolution was unanimously approved.
County offices will be open for business on Monday, Dec. 23, and Friday, Dec. 27.
Berkeley County offices will also be closed on Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2014 for New Years Day.
In other council business, the Finance Committee released approximately $95,000 to the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce for advertising and tourism promotions, and agreed to explore means to make Cypress Gardens more efficient so as to no longer need the .25 mils allocated to it from the accommodations tax money previously earmarked for the Chamber of Commerce.
Berkeley Chamber of Commerce President Elaine Morgan outlined the chambers advertising and tourism campaign and expenses used to attract overnight visitors to Berkeley County.
The majority of our expenditures lie in our magazine and our website, Morgan said.
We try to target our magazine, TV and Internet ads to where they can generate the most exposure. Ads are placed six months out to a year out as most people that book big group trips are planned 12-to-18 months out.
Morgan added that 95 percent of all people that travel use Google.
We have people looking at our website from every state, she said.
All of the Chamber of Commerce money is generated from overnight stays in Berkeley County hotels.
One of our biggest groups is our sports groups with children, Morgan said. The average size of a group is four people, children, parents and grandparents. That is our largest generator.
Morgan said the accommodations tax is derived strictly overnight stays whereas the hospitality tax includes restaurants.
We target our audience to groups that live at least 100 miles out, which is stipulated by the state. A tourist is defined as someone who lives at least a hundred miles out.
Council member Caldwell Pinckney said he was concerned that the Chamber of Commerce would lose its advertising monies earmarked by the Accommodations Tax.
Youre only as good as your advertisement, and Im just concerned that we have in this last budget, tapped up that money, he said. Im afraid you are going to lose half of your money for advertising for Berkeley County.
Council voted as part of the 2013-2014 money to reduce spending for Cypress Gardens by .25 mils and transfer that money to Trident Technical College.
Jack Schurlknight called the cuts bad business.
Looking back, I think it was a very bad business decision by cutting the promotions budget. I would request that council entertain and revisit the Cypress Gardens budget and restore that .25 mil to the Cypress Gardens budget.
Finance Committee Chairman Tim Callanan welcomed revisiting the Cypress Gardens budget and hoped this time County Council members would offer feedback via recommendations and suggestions as to how to make Cypress Gardens more efficient.
The thing that frustrates me is that I would have loved to see some recommendations and suggestions during the budget process back in June, Callanan said. I saw nothing from anybody from council. We had more budget workshops, more budget meetings than weve had in years, at least the last five years. There were zero recommendations from anybody. I welcome County Council working to get Cypress Gardens more efficient.
Council member Steve Davis presented a motion to address the Chamber of Commerces need for funds now and challenged County Council to work together collectively to address the issue of Cypress Gardens efficiency.
Callanan recommended that council convene in January under a special meeting of the Finance Committee to revisit Cypress Gardens.
Schurlknight proposed the formation of a subcommittee to address the Cypress Gardens situation and volunteered to serve on the committee.
We need to sit down and try to get Cypress Gardens as efficient as we can get them, Schurlknight said.
Callanan agreed: Then lets do it.
