Event eNews: TechNet Augusta 2013
Online Show Daily
Day 1:
The Future of the Army Is More About People Than Technology
As often happens when discussions focus on military technology, talk during the first day of TechNet Augusta 2013 zeroed in on people, not capabilities. Leaders today shared their ideas on human resources and how they would make all the difference modernizing the Army network during a time of lean budgets.
Day 2: Military Carries On the Lesson of Flight 93
TechNet Augusta had a different feeling Wednesday than is normal for military communications conferences. This fact is unsurprising; it was September 11. The people at this event are not those who simply wear yellow ribbons. These are the men and women who have fought the fights that have raged because of those hijacked planes. Until you spend the anniversary of terrorist attacks in a convention center full of military members and veterans, it is difficult to grasp fully the impact of more than a decade of foreign war or the dedication of some human beings to ideals such as freedom or country.
Day 3: Army Communications Has a Hard Road Ahead
The U.S. Army faces daunting challenges today and in the future, but senior leaders are trying to mitigate issues by focusing on improvements in their areas of expertise. Lt. Gen. Mark S. Bowman, USA, J-6 of the Joint Staff, is promoting the Joint Information Environment (JIE) as a solution across the military. The JIE is not automating the way we do business today, he said during TechNet Augusta. Instead, it is a necessary capability that will do away with problems in current systems.
Presentations and videos are available at the following links:
The Latest Coverage From TechNet Augusta 2013
Programs Will Perform or Face the Consequences
The U.S. Army no longer has the luxury of propping up program failures with extra money, causing big changes in the service's decisions. "If a program doesn't execute, it's not going to be a program very long," said Maj. Gen. Harold J. Greene, USA, deputy for acquisition and systems management, headquarters, Army, during TechNet Augusta. His repeated this main message throughout his presentation, emphasizing that programs must perform and meet budgets.
The Joint Information Environment (JIE) is well on its way to becoming a pervasive reality for the U.S. Armed Services and its coalition partners. The version at U.S. European Command reached initial operational capability on July 31, and the Army now has 1.5 million users on enterprise email, a key service under the environment.
What Sequestration Means to Army Materiel
"No other field has changed so completely, so rapidly as signals has in the last 10 years," Gen. Dennis Via, USA, commander, U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC), said during TechNet Augusta on Wednesday. During his address, he asked the Army's communications community to help his organization provide the capabilities soldiers will need even as sequestration makes providing them more difficult. Senior leaders should worry about the budget, leaving soldiers in the field to worry about coming home safely.
Team Signal and LandWarNet 2020
Network modernization is the key to the U.S. Army of the future, and soldiers already are reaping the benefits of updates to the LandWarNet (LWN). The chief information officer (CIO)/G-6 is leading a charge to improve infrastructure by replacing copper circuit switches with necessary state-of-the art technology. "That's what we have to fix," said Lt. Gen. Susan Lawrence, USA, the service's CIO/G-6, during AFCEA International's TechNet Augusta on Wednesday.
Related SIGNAL Articles
The U.S. Army Signal Corps is expanding the work its personnel conduct while dealing with technology and operational challenges that both help and hinder its efforts. On the surface, Army signal is facing the common dilemma afflicting many other military specialties—it must do more with fewer resources.
Researchers are developing new ways of enabling troops inside personnel carriers to see their outside environment without increasing their vulnerability to hostile fire. The goal is to provide enhanced 360-degree situational awareness from sensors installed on a vehicle as well as from other off-board cameras in the area.
The U.S. Army is making its facility at West Point the focus of a joint program with the other services, industry and academia, devoted to sharing advanced cybertraining and research. Training in the new cyber realm includes not only basic best practices concerning passwords and mobile device security but also advanced training in the latest network management protocols and technology for members of the Army's Signal Corps.
Making Tactical Communications History
Two brigades from the Army's 10th Mountain Division are preparing to deploy to Afghanistan with a host of technologies that will allow the units to provide their own network down to the tactical edge. The new equipment provides battalion and company commanders with a communications on the move capability and pushes critical data down to the individual squad level.
Army Network Testing
Increases Commonality
The same approach used to test and implement the Army's single largest networking system is laying the groundwork for extending the network down to the individual soldier. As laboratory tests and field exercises validate the interoperability of separate elements in a network, system conflicts are giving way to greater commonality among different elements.

Diebler sets school career 3-point record in victory
INDIANAPOLIS - In the first possession of the second overtime in yesterday's Big Ten semifinal win over Illinois, Ohio State's Jon Diebler nailed a 3-pointer from the top of the key. The Buckeyes, who had been unable to shake the Illini all day, never trailed again.
The shot put Ohio State (26-7) ahead to stay, and it put Diebler in the record book as the most prolific scorer from outside the arc in OSU history.
Diebler's triple in that decisive second overtime gave him 243 for his career, passing Jamar Butler who had 242.
Diebler said the record hardly mattered at the time.
"That's great, to get the record and all, but at the time all I could think about was that we needed the points," the junior guard said.
"We had been going back and forth with Illinois all afternoon and I just felt like we needed to hit a couple of shots to get a little run going and get some room. I missed a couple earlier that I thought were in, so it felt good to hit one when we needed it most."
Diebler had four triples in the win over Illinois, giving him 99 this season. His personal best had been 96, which was set last season.
"I think Jon Diebler is a tremendous basketball player, and a lot of times throughout his career, he's gone very unnoticed," Ohio State coach Thad Matta said about Diebler, who played his high school basketball at Fostoria and Upper Sandusky, and is Ohio's career scoring leader. "But he doesn't care, he just wants to win. I love that about him."
EXTRA TIME: Yesterday's win was the first overtime game this season for the Buckeyes. It was Ohio State's first double-overtime game since a loss to Michigan State in the 2005-06 season.
"It's tense when it's going on, but I think it is definitely a beneficial thing for us to be involved in close games like this, and the Michigan game," Ohio State junior Dallas Lauderdale said.
The Buckeyes needed a last-second shot from Evan Turner to get by the Wolverines in the quarterfinal round of the Big Ten tournament.
"We're going to be playing in tough games in the NCAA tournament, so if we've already been there and already experienced it, that has to be a good thing."
TRASH TALK: Illinois players tried to defend Ohio State's Evan Turner with double-teams and some trash talk. Turner said the chatter from the Illini inspired him to play harder, and 20 of his 31 points came in the second half and the overtimes.
"It definitely got me going," Turner said. "I don't really show emotion, but for them to start running their mouths, they really, really annoyed me. I knew we were a tougher team, with everything we've been through. I knew what we had was tougher than what they had."

If President Obama's deficit-reduction speech today includes a call to end the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, there will surely be pushback; Republicans have already begun a preemptive attack on raising taxes. One group of millionaires, however, is saying that they are more than willing to pay more for the good of their country.
The "Patriotic Millionaires" penned a letter to Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and House Speaker John Boehner, urging them to "increase taxes on incomes over $1,000,000."
The Millionaires—a group that includes producer and director Doug Liman, actress Edie Falco, the founder of Ask.com, and top Google engineers—wrote that the United States has helped them succeed financially, and they are willing to help the country do the same.
"Our country has been good to us. It provided a foundation through which we could succeed," the group wrote. "Now, we want to do our part to keep that foundation strong so that others can succeed as we have."
According to Alison Goldberg of the group Wealth for the Common Good, raising tax rates on millionaires could raise $60 billion to $80 billion a year in revenue.
"This small monetary sacrifice is both an ethical and patriotic decision, made in the hopes of allowing the United States of America to continue to be a leader economically, politically, and morally," said Garrett Gruener, founder of Ask.com.
But while these millionaires may be willing to pay more taxes, that doesn't mean everyone in the country necessarily thinks it's a good idea.
"I am not in favor of raising taxes right now, period," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said Wednesday on MSNBC. "The question is raising revenues.... And how are you going raise revenues? Are you just going to raise taxes through a magic wand you're going to produce more money? Or are you going to grow this economy?"

After SLS
Law schools generally don't make distinctions among jobs as a practicing lawyer. While there may still be some preference for elite law firms and public interest impact litigation jobs, this variable is in flux. The one important exception is jobs in which applicants have acquired significant substantive knowledge that will be directly relevant to their teaching and writing (e.g., staff member on the Joint Committee on Taxation if you are intending to teach and write in tax; prosecutor or public defender if you are intending to concentrate in criminal justice; a lawyer for the EPA or a public interest environmental organization like the Natural Resources Defense Council if you are intending to concentrate in environmental law). Such experience is not only strategically valuable in securing a teaching job; it can also be very helpful in developing a teaching and research agenda.
It is difficult to switch into teaching after too many years in practice. If you are coming from a private law firm after five years and have not yet made partner, law schools will worry that you are applying only because the writing was on the wall that you weren't going to make partner. Even if you have made partner or are clearly successful in some other area of practice, after many years in practice it can be difficult to make the mental shift into teaching, just as it can be difficult to make the mental shift in the opposite direction. In particular, law schools worry that you will have trouble starting to write academic articles after so many years in practice, and also find it hard to start over at the bottom of a new career ladder.

Arrival of baby mandrill is a boost for Paignton Zoo
Posted: February 21, 2013|
Zoo keepers are marking the first birth in five years of a West African variety of monkey.
Staff at Paignton Zoo were delighted when this baby mandrill, the first of its kind since 2008, arrived three weeks ago.
The new arrival was born on January 29 to mother Makemba – born at the Devon zoo in 2005 – and father Jumanji, born in France.
Neil Bemment, curator of mammals, said: "Each birth is another success for the international breeding programme. This baby is good for the family group dynamics and may be required for conservation breeding."
Other members of the group are Akello, who is half-brother to Makemba, born in 2005, and two other females, Mirjam and Marta, who arrived at the zoo from Budapest Zoo last year.
Mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) are endangered primates – threatened with habitat destruction and hunting – from West Africa rainforests.
There is a European endangered species programme for the mandrill, which is listed as vulnerable by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
Despite their fearsome appearance, they feed on fruit, fungi, insects, nuts, roots, seeds and small invertebrates. Their colouring is thought to help keep them together while travelling in the rainforest.
A single youngster is born after a gestation period of five to six months.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. --- To say it was a defensive battle is putting it mildly as Central Michigan (1-0) held off the 14th-ranked Chattanooga Mocs (0-1) 20-16 in Kelly/Shorts Stadium in the 2014 season opener. The two squads combined for a mere 579 yards on the night.
"We made some mistakes in this game," coach Russ Huesman commented after the game. "We had some stops on third downs and had some penalties, but I will give our defense credit. They played hard. Central Michigan is big and physical.
"I think they had every defensive starter returning from last year's team," he continued. "Our guys played hard, and they are hurting because we felt like we could win that game. You have to give Central Michigan a lot of credit. They did a great job in defending us."
It was a great start from the FCS visitors. The Mocs jumped out to a 16-0 lead on a combined effort by Jacob Huesman and Tommy Hudson. Huesman rolled right and appeared to be running on the play when he swung a pass out to Hudson on the sideline. The senior captain wideout eluded initial tacklers and sped down the markers out-distancing the secondary for the 70-yard score.
"I thought we played well offensively in the first half," coach Huesman added. "Tommy Hudson had a couple of big plays, but we got into some third-and-long situations and got into some trouble in the second half."
The game turned after intermission. The Chippewas had a physical offensive coming out of the locker room. They methodically drove the ball 74 yards in 12 plays with Thomas Rawls powering in from six to cut the lead to 16-13 after the missed PAT. Rawls carried six times for 47 yards before getting the score to key the drive.
CMU defensive end Blake Serpa made a heady play on the Mocs ensuing possession. He was able to snag a Huesman offering while rushing from the right end to give the Chippewas the ball on the Chattanooga 20. Derrick Lott stuffed Saylor Lavallii for a one-yard loss and then a false start by CMU made it second-and-16 at the 26.
Quarterback Cooper Rush matched Serpa's effort for the play of the night. He found Courtney Williams in the front right quarter of the end zone for the 20-16 lead. From there, neither defense gave an inch.
CMU mounted the lone drive of the fourth quarter that approached the goal line. After taking over on the Mocs' 32, Rawls led the Chippewas to the two-yard line. A penalty followed by a Zach Rayl five-yard tackle for loss on Rush dropped the home squad back. Ron Coluzzi's 23-yard chip shot field goal attempt was blocked by Davis Tull to squash the threat and keep the Mocs within four.
The Chipps defense would not give an inch. Even after a bad snap on a punt put Chattanooga in great shape on its hosts 46, CMU stiffened yet again. After a Huesman three-yard run, Kevin King picked off a pass at the 43 ending that drive. The Mocs were not across midfield again in the game.
Keon Williams led the Mocs with 64 yards on 11 carries. Hudson had two catches, both touchdowns, for 78 yards. Muhasabi Wakeel led a fantastic defensive effort with 17 tackles and a forced fumble. Lott had just four tackles, but three were for loss including a sack, and he recovered the fumble caused by Wakeel.
Rawls ran 25 times for 125 yards with his score. The rest of the CMU ground game accounted for just 27 yards on 21 runs. Rush threw for 173 yards completing 15 of 26 attempts with two scores. He was six-for-seven in the second half for 67 yards, while Rawls got 91 of his 125 ground gains after the break.
Henrique Ribeiro opened the scoring with a 47-yard field goal with 1:29 to go in the first quarter. Huesman found Hudson in the back of the end zone on the Mocs next possession from eight yards out for a 10-0 lead. That was the 13th play of the drive that spanned 94 yards eating up nearly six minutes of clock time.
CMU found the end zone before the half ended to build some momentum. Rush engineered a quick five-play, 75-yard scoring march ending with an 18-yard pass to Jesse Kroll to cut the Mocs' halftime lead to 16-7.
The Mocs return home next weekend for the home opener against sixth-ranked Jacksonville State. Game time is 6 p.m., at Finley Stadium Davenport Field with video available on SoCon Digital Network which can be accessed via GoMocs.com. Tickets are available at the McKenzie Arena Gate One Ticket Office, by phone at (423) 266- MOCS (6627) or online at GoMocs.com.

Shutdown should have been a wakeup callOctober 20,2013When the government shutdown began, furloughed federal workers were promised they would still be paid once it reopened which it finally did last week.
Even so, let me offer advice to those with jobs they thought were secure. Do what you can, as soon as you can, to create an emergency fund. Make it a priority.
Yes, youve heard this before. Yet here we are again, and workers across the country, including non-federal employees and government contractors whose incomes were also affected by the shutdown, are feeling the financial pain after missing one paycheck or getting just a partial paycheck.
The Washington Post asked people to participate in an online survey about how the shutdown had impacted them. Almost two-thirds said it had affected them daily or threatened their livelihood.
Heres what some workers wrote:
California: Check to Check, like most folks these days. Furlough put me back even deeper.
Colorado: Just worked out our budgets though Nov. 15 half a paycheck this pay period and at this point no paycheck by Nov. 1 currently over $300 in the hole and seeking delays to monthly payment for car, insurance, credit, student loans, mortgage.
Virginia: No work equals no pay. No savings equals bad, really bad.
Massachusetts: I am a federal employee supporting a spouse in graduate school with student loans of my own to pay. Even if I get back pay, paying the immediate bills will be a significant challenge. One of the reasons I was attracted to this job was because of its stability.
With all due respect, the shutdown should have been a wake-up call for all of us. You cant count on your job always being there, even in positions or careers that have historically been viewed as unemployment-proof.
I say this because often in financial workshops I have conducted, some participants, government workers in particular, would argue they didnt really need to worry about having several months of expenses saved up.
They felt secure in their jobs. Or I would get push-back from people who believed they couldnt lose their jobs and therefore didnt need to put away three to six months of living expenses.
By the way, dont fret about having to dip into your savings. Thats what an emergency fund is for to address a financial shutdown in your life.
I am fully aware that many people have overwhelming financial demands. I know some are barely making it because they have large families or medical bills or are taking care of others who have fallen on financial hardship.
Im not fussing at you. You are doing the best you can. But if youre just getting by, thats all the more reason to cut expenses and put the savings in the bank.
Im talking to workers who can do better and should do better with what they earn. They have run up a bunch of bills and cant figure out how to save. Still, I understand.
In many parts of the country, including the Washington metropolitan area, you have to contend with the high cost of housing, food and transportation.
If you have children, its the high cost of day care or private school tuition or the seemingly endless fees for the kids to participate in sports or other extracurricular activities. Im a parent. I get that.
But it all comes down to choices. You cant do it all. Not even folks making millions can live paycheck to paycheck. How do you go broke on $200 million? By spending $201 million.
During various shutdowns in sports National Football League or the National Basketball Association we heard about players complaining about not having money to keep up with their expenses. In those cases, we shook our heads and sneered about their overspending. But how similar are you to those players?
Your expenses are different and not as large, but you still overspent.
You spent too much on your college education and now have student loan debt that is burdensome and preventing you from saving.
Youve bought a home that you cant afford because the monthly mortgage payment doesnt give you the leeway to save.
For a long time, long before sequester-demanded furlough days and the current shutdown, youve blurred the line between your needs and wants, not really distinguishing the two.
Only you truly know your financial situation and if you could have budgeted better to save more. Only you know if life events out of your control make missing one or two paychecks disastrous.
But if you can handle the truth, let the shutdown be your financial reset button when you get back to work.

There's no use singling out Murray because his language is of the saltier variety. It's not like Murray is fist pumping at UEs in the first point of a set or at 15-0 up on his service game. The frustration is simply is to the fact he's losing. He's swearing and cussing because the match isn't going the way he wants it to. It's not because of your reasoning which is that he should never be beaten or outsmarted. Heaps in players react in a similar fashion in their own way. Players that don't ar usually too submissive and incapable of pulling out big perfomances. Gasquet's reaction to losing for example is far more pathetic IMO. Haas swears after being aced on break point or being outplayed and he does it all the time.
In the AO this year more or less every game I saw players cheered, fist-pumped, or "c'mon"'d when they benefited from an UE at a crucial time. It's fairly common...

The story of Capitol Hill's week on the brink — which brought Washington within an hour of a government shutdown — is a narrative of three men, each with a confining sense of his own limitations.
House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) entered budget negotiations at the head of a rambunctious Republican majority. Quietly, though, he worried that conservative lawmakers might desert him if the deal he struck didn't meet their expectations.

Technology update
Apr 12, 2007
Nanoparticles get sticky
A self-assembly technique to make macromaterials from nanoscale objects has been invented by researchers in the US. The breakthrough method uses intermediate-sized plastic "supraspheres" with metallic properties that are then built up into bigger structures. The "mouldable metals" could find applications in metallurgy and catalysis.
Until now, scientists have only been able to assemble nanosized objects into relatively small structures, such as micron-sized crystals and nanoparticle coatings. "The problem with these approaches is that the small pieces do not want to stick together beyond a certain limit," explained team leader Bartosz Grzybowski of Northwestern University. "Even if one uses many nanoparticles and tries to cross-link them, there are some limitations due to nucleation and growth and one usually ends up with small clumps rather than macroscopic materials."
Grzybowski and colleagues have now developed a conceptually different approach that overcomes this challenge. Instead of going all the way from nano to macro, the researchers build intermediate-sized supraspheres, and then build these up into macromaterials. The supraspheres are no longer rigid objects but display properties such as plasticity and stickiness. "They are like little pieces of Playdoh that can easily be 'glued' into larger structures," says Grzybowski.
The Northwestern team begin with metal particles of either gold or platinum that are about 5 nm across and coat them in a surfactant. Next, the researchers expose the particles to ultraviolet radiation, which causes the particles to cross-link together into spherical, sticky aggregates that are between 50 and 300 nm in diameter. These supraspheres are malleable, show metallic properties and can be assembled into larger, millimetre-sized structures.
Another startling finding is that if the spherical building blocks are gently heated at 50 °C, they harden to form a solid metallic block. "From a practical perspective, this means we can go from the waxy to pure metallic state at almost room temperature," enthused Grzybowski. "To my knowledge, there are no other materials that have such properties."
The mouldable metals could be useful for metallurgy and because they are nanoporous, they could find use in catalysis applications too. "In this context, one of the bimetallic structures we made is really fascinating because it is both nanoporous and can have two catalytic materials 'mixed in' at the nanoscale," Grzybowski told nanotechweb.org. "As such, it can be used to catalyse more than one reaction at once – a very hot topic that our group is working on 24/7."
The team now plans to also make similar monoliths from non-metallic nanoparticles, such as semiconductors. "Finally, there are tonnes of fundamental questions to be answered, for example, why do these materials conduct in the waxy state and what is their band structure?" asked Grzybowski.
The researchers reported their work in Science.

"Angry Mickey" is my name for a figurine you see on the ESPN show "Pardon the Interruption." It's a sports talk show with two sportswriters Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser. The set is littered with numerous figurines, toys, a Northwestern U. football helmet and photos and drawings on the walls, including "South Park" versions of the guys behind Wilbon. "Angry Mickey" is behind Kornheiser, but you don't always get a good look at it; it depends on where the camera is placed in front of Kornheiser.
I call the figurine "Angry Mickey" because that's what he looks like. He's scowling, his hands are fists (he's got a "What you lookin' at?" expression). Also, his face is pure white, but his shoes are yellow and his shorts are red; he looks like the pre-"Fantasia" Mickey, the one on Mickey's Fun Wheel.
This version of MM is so unlike the happy, gregarious MM we all know, I just gotta have it! Can anyone help?

Bank Negara Indonesia, the country's fourth-largest lender by assets, is upbeat that its credit card transaction value will grow 40 percent in 2012 as it intensifies cooperation with merchants and other companies.
Dodit Probojakti, BNI's general manager for credit card business, said the bank was aiming to book a total transaction value of Rp 18.5 trillion ($2 billion) for its customers' credit cards this year.
In the first six months of the year, the value of such transactions was Rp 8.4 trillion, up 38 percent from the same period a year ago, he said.
The figure normally strengthens in the second half because of Idul Fitri, Christmas and New Year's, which spur spending, Dodit said.
In the six months ended in June, BNI recorded 1.8 million outstanding credit cards, a 7 percent increase during the same period in 2011.
Dodit said BNI was trying to boost transactions through cooperation with popular brands such as flag carrier Garuda Indonesia, South Korean retailer Lotte Mart and English football club Chelsea.
Despite high growth for BNI's credit card business, new standards for credit card applicants set to take effect on Jan. 1, 2013, will present new challenges, Dodit said.
Under a regulation issued by the central bank in June, credit card applicants who earn less than Rp 10 million a month will have to apply for a special assessment from banks before they can take out credit cards from more than two issuers.
People earning less than Rp 3 million a month will be barred from getting a card. Banks must cancel any outstanding cards belonging to these people as of Jan. 1 next year.
The regulation also allows anyone aged 17 or older to apply for a secondary credit card if someone who is at least 21 years old assumes legal responsibility.
Banks have tended to cap lending at three times the borrower's total monthly income, although self-regulation has meant this is not always the case.

Fleet News and Mail 23rd December 2011: Reshuffle after private meeting complaint
A SENIOR councillor has had to resign from his cabinet post after being asked to step down by the council leader. A snap reshuffle at Hart District Council has seen Fleet West representative Richard Appleton leave his role as head of planning and regulation following an announcement made on Monday. Council leader Ken Crookes confirmed that he felt the decision had become necessary following the revelation earlier this month that Cllt Appleton had met privately with landowners and a developer over prospective plans for a development of 4,000 homes near Winchfield.
The discovery of the meeting saw the chairman of Winchfield Parish Council, Andrew Renshaw, lodge a complaint over the matter with Hart's chief executive Geoff Bonner. Cllr Crookes this week said Cllr Appleton had confirmed to him his attendance at the meeting.
A spokesman for the council confirmed Cllr Stephen Parker would be taking over the planning portfolio with immediate effect, with Hook representative Jonathan Glen assuming responsibility for Cllr Parker's former role as the council's chairman of environment.
In a statement announcing the decision, Cllr Crookes expressed his gratitude to his former cabinet colleague for all his efforts and contributions during his time in the role. He said "Councillor Richard Appleton is stepping down from the cabinet at my request. I would like to take this opportunity to thank him for all his hardwork, dedication and integrity in the role for the past three and a half years. During that time we have seen efficiency and effectiveness improvements in the development control function as well as significant progress in getting our draft LDF Core Strategy through its initial consultation."
The decision to remove Cllr Appleton from his position was first announced at Hart's full council meeting held on Thursday of last week. Speaking on Tuesday, Cllr Crookes said that he had felt it right that Cllr Appleton stand down from the Council's cabinet. He said "It is very important in these matters, particularly planning matters, that we are completely transparent especially with members of the public. I thought it was inappropriate for the Cllr Appleton to have a meeting with land owners and developers without telling anyone or inviting a planning officer from Hart to accompany him."
As well as having to leave his cabinet role, Cllr Appleton has also de-listed himself from the council's Conservative group, and is now running as an unaligned representative. In a statement included in the minutes from last week's council meeting, Cllr Appleton offered an explanation for this decision. He said: "When I first stood for election to this council a number of residents queried why I was standing for a political party. I always made in clear that if push came to shove, I would represent residents' interests above those of a political party. Unfortunately I feel that this situation has arisen and so I am asking the chief executive to remove my name from the list of members of the Conservative group".
Cllr Andrew Renshaw, chairman of Winchfield Parish Council, responded to the announcement by welcoming the district council's decision. He said: "It is good that Hart's political leaders have acted so swiftly. It was clearly wrong that the portfolio holder for planning should be having unofficial meetings with landowners and developers' representatives to discuss the possibility of a new town at Winchfield, which is not part of Hart's core strategy."
Cllr Appleton was contacted by the News and Mail but stated that he did not wish to comment on the decision.

According to the West Virginia State Police, Marife Travis, 32, of Lavalette, was traveling east on Beech Fork Road in a 2001 model Chevrolet Cavalier at about 11:15 p.m. when she encountered black ice and lost control of the vehicle.
The vehicle slid off the roadway and entered the adjacent stream where it floated a short distance and sank.
Rescue efforts were hindered by the location and the high water from the recent weather experienced.
Neither alcohol nor drugs were a factor in this crash.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Remake of the Original!
I love this movie! While I often think no remake does a better job than the original, this one comes pretty darn close. I enjoy watching it almost if not just as much as the original. And it appeals to my young children more than the original does. So that is a bonus. Definitely a must-have for your Christmas DVD collection!

Having seen the 1947 version of this movie- I must say that it seems to me that the 1947 version set the groundwork for the story, but THESE are the sets of actors meant to play the parts. The best actor, of course, is Richard Attenborough, the gifted director of ''Gandhi'', and a superb, truly sweet actor. His Santa Claus represents something Edward Gwenn's does not...

MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET (1994) is an updated version of a classic film that has a lot of heart but not quite the charm of the original. Definitely a good Holiday film for the whole family, it has a certain message for kids to keep the Christmas Spirit and ideology alive.
Directed by Les Mayfield (Encino Man, Flubber) it tells the tale of Santa Clause being set up for failure. Does and or should the world believe in him. Thanks to the efforts of a small non-believing girl...the magic of the season prevails!
Starring Sir Richard Attenburough (Jurassic Park, Hamlet) as Father Christmas himself, he is left with wits and efforts of lawyer Dylon Mcdermott (The Practice, Twister, Steel Magnolias) to save his life and gain him his freedom before Christmas. The skeptic, Elizabeth Perkins (Cats & Dogs, The Flintsones) who plays the department store promotions manager who hires and then has to fire Santa himself becomes a tough cookie for her daughter, played by Mara Wilson (Mrs. Doubtfire, Matilda), to convince he IS real.
This also has a great final performance of the late J.T. Walsh (Pleasantville, A Few Good Men) and as the judge who must decide the fate of Santa, Robert Prosky (Mrs. Doubtfire, The Chamber) gives a phenomenal performance for his small role.
A great Holiday film for the whole family to watch. Give it a chance - it may bring some Christmas Spirit into your day! (1-2-03)
5.0 out of 5 stars Full of holiday magic and charm!,
D. Litton (Wilmington, NC) - See all my reviews
You'll fall in love with the magic of Christmas all over again with "Miracle on 34th Street," the modern day remake of the 1947 classic film about a young girl who gets the ultimate Christmas wish when she meets the real Santa Claus. With an extremely likeable cast, a faithful adaptation of the original material, and holiday spirit and cheerful execution to boot, this is one holiday film you won't want to miss.
Set in our time, the film opens with the Cole's Thanksgiving Day Parade, as Dorey Walker (Elizabeth Perkins) comes upon a severely drunken actor who has been employed to play Santa Claus in the parade's send-off. Her problems are solved when she runs across the delightful Kris (Richard Attenborough), who bears a striking resemblance to the real deal. She convinces him to replace the now-inept actor, and the parade goes off with nary a fault.
Kris's authenticity touches many of those who come in contact with him, including Dorey's young daughter, Susan (Mara Wilson), who is a non-believer. Kris, along with family friend Bryan Bedford (Dylan McDermott), sets out to make a believer out of Susan, all the while charming the children who sit in his lap at the department store, and causing a buzz of good publicity for the department store.
All of this is done with a great deal of charm and holiday spirit. The movie is one of the better modern Christmas films I've had the pleasure of seeing. The fact that it is based on a classic is of no importance, because it keeps the spirit and wisdom of that previous film and instills into a setting we can better relate to.
It keeps in touch with the original's many touching moments. One that comes to mind is Kris's conversation with a deaf little girl, a truly touching moment that rides the movie's emotional carriage home. It's scenes like this that give the movie such an uplifting sense of direction and spirit, along with the central message, as Kris so magnificently puts it, that "if you can't accept anything on faith, then you're doomed to a life dominated by doubt."
The real delights come from the cast, a perfect addition to the movie's already wonderful story execution. Richard Attenborough is a marvelous actor, and bleeds of good cheer and high spirits; he is the ideal Santa Claus, and his performance is very touching. Equally touching is the acting of little Mara Wilson, who plays Susan with a wit beyond her years, but also provides her with the same childhood skepticism that captivating young minds are so capable of. McDermott and Perkins can't hold a candle to their two costars, but their acting is nonetheless superb, and very believable.
There's nothing to find fault with in this beautifully crafted holiday film, and however you look at it, "Miracle on 34th Street" measures up to the standards of the original. Destined to become a classic, it develops a warmth and charm found in so little modern movies, and its intentions are nothing less than grand.

Having seen the 1947 version of this movie- I must say that it seems to me that the 1947 version set the groundwork for the story, but THESE are the sets of actors meant to play the parts. The best actor, of course, is Richard Attenborough, the gifted director of ''Gandhi'', and a superb, truly sweet actor. His Santa Claus represents something Edward Gwenn's does not. His Santa Claus is a SYMBOL of faith, a symbol of believing in a magical world of childhood and keeping it alive inside of your heart. His St. Nick project genuine innocence, kindness, and oozes vulnerability. He seems to be the only true figure untouched by the evils and selfishness of the world. Elizabeth Perkins is heart-rending as a cold, formal, non-believing mother. She brings an icy calmness to her cool, almost unlovable Dory Walker. Maureen O'Hara (in th 1947 version) did not project the coldness or the cyncial appearance that Perkins does. When St. Nick explains to her: '' I am not only a person but a symbol. All who cannot believe in me are doomed to a life to cynicism and have no escape from the actual world'', she later stands and cries softly in an elevater. That was a very moving scene. Dory has buried every bit of hurt at the loss of her husband so she can remain strong for her young daughter (a hauntingly sad Mara Wilson). Dylan McDermont is Brian Beddford, a man who is ALMOST perfect in every way- except even he, in a sense is a non-believer. He cannot truly have faith in his friend, nor does he take his friend's claims to be Santa seriously. He is a kind-hearted, but slightly cold adult. The heart of this movie is truly in it's explaination of Santa Claus- so much different from the predictable 1947 version. This movie goes deeper than the previous film (it involves a dollar bill and the words '' In God we Trust''). This film actually ACKNOWLEDGES there is a Santa Claus, the old film simply delivers mail form children stating that THEY believe in Santa. St. Nick here is heavily symbolic of innocence and utter sensitivity- of childhood hopes, and unburied emotions. Also the chemistry between Brian and Dory is tangible. In short: Watch this film if you want a new idea of the true meaning of Christmas, and the true power of believing in Santa Claus.
5.0 out of 5 stars Every bit as good as the original in my opinion,
Connie (Deer Creek Mesa, CO) - See all my reviews
I love that this remake didn't sell out very much, and put in too much modern stuff. It is very successful in keeping a "traditional" feel, with only a few exceptions. Mara Wilson is absolutely delightful and classic in her performance, and I really like Elizabeth Perkins' reproduction of the original role. And Dylan McDermott, whom I typically find very flat and dull, is sweet and charming as the sincere bachelor attorney with an eye for Perkins.
Richard Attenborough is amazing as Santa, at least as good as the formidable original. The scene in the original featuring Santa visiting with the Dutch war refugee girl is replaced in this remake with Santa visiting with a little deaf girl. The scene in the original is about as sweet as any scene in any movie ever, and the remake is even sweeter! The deaf girl's face, when Santa talks to her in sign language, is absolutely worth the price of this DVD.
The only real weakness for me was the John DeLancie and Jane Leeves part of the movie, as two "evil" agents for the "enemy" department store (where all the upper management wears all black). They reminded me of Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern from "Home Alone" -- sort of bumbling bad guys in a bad cartoon sort of way.
So all in all, I really think that this version is as good or better than the original, which is simply too dated in a few respects for me to be able to enjoy unconditionally. I think both of them are definitely worth owning.
4.0 out of 5 stars overall as good as the original,
hardly_b (Palo Alto, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Attenborough is a very satisfactory replacement for Gwynn in this remake, and the little girl is better than Natalie Wood (my biggest complaint about the original is Wood's performance; she's annoyingly precious). The romance is a little flat, but it was in the original, too. Perkins just isn't as good as O'Hara, (hardly anyone is), but McDermott is better than the telephone pole that played the lawyer in the original (it's no accident that John Payne wasn't a big star). And the "trial" makes a little more sense than in the original, although I sure missed William Frawley (aka Fred Mertz) as the judge's political advisor.
Overall, I think that this is a very satisfactory remake. It doesn't quite reach some of the high points of the original, but it avoids enough of the lows to make it just fine. And my kids like it better, probably because it's in color and has a more modern feel. It's become a family tradition to watch it on Christmas Eve, and I rather look forward to it every year...

2.0 out of 5 stars A TERRIBLE AND UNNECESSARY REMAKE...,
Tim Janson (Michigan) - See all my reviews
First things first...why even bother to remake such a great movie. Oh, I know, it was remade in the 1970's with sebastian Cabot in a made for TV movie, but still. This is a classic that will always stand on its own.
You will never be able to surpass the original, the bar is too high. You know the story...a man who looks like Santa is hired to play Jolly Ol' St. Nick at a department store and then gets into trouble when he insists he's the real deal.
Unfortunately, this movie has none of the warmth, charm, humor, or magick of the original. The actors all seem to be sleep walking, the little girl playing the Natalie Wood role is annoying, and the courtroom sequence and ending is devoid of the magic that made you wonder if there really is a Santa.
Skip this and stick with the original

A. Quinlan (Livonia, MI United States) - See all my reviews
Let me say two things.
1. I love old movies.
2. I mistrust remakes.
However, I loved this remake. It has become a regular part of our Christmas for the past 10 years. My wife loves it and I do as well. Get it now!!

Gonzales forces incumbent Medina into District 5 runoff
By John W. Gonzalez : May 11, 2013 : Updated: May 12, 2013 12:26am
Photo By Billy Calzada/San Antonio Express-NewsCity Council District 5 candidate Shirley Gonzales and her husband, Kevin Barton, listen as election night returns are announced on Saturday, May 11, 2013.
Photo By Billy Calzada/San Antonio Express-NewsIncumbent District 5 Councilman David Medina speaks with supporters at his campaign headquarters on Saturday evening, May 11, 2013.
Two-term District 5 Councilman David Medina on Saturday was dragged into a runoff by pawn shop owner Shirley Gonzales, who capitalized on a strong showing in early voting.
With 38.5 percent of the vote, Medina led a field that also included attorney Ricardo Briones, insurance agent John Carlos Garcia, rental car agency owner Richard Cardenas and wine retailer Frank Ramirez.
Medina was confident of victory going into election day, but Gonzales, 40, finished second with 31 percent to earn a spot in the June 15 runoff.
"I'm happy to be in a runoff," Gonzales said, noting that more than 60 percent of voters did not choose Medina. "That gives me lots of opportunity to show them that I could be the best one for this position."
Medina drew fire for not being accessible enough to constituents and for missing more council meetings than his colleagues. He tried to offset those criticisms by calling attention to city projects underway in the West and South Side district.
Medina, 27, a construction project manager, joined the council in 2009. At age 23, he was the youngest elected councilman in city history. Medina said he's brought numerous upgrades to the district and promises more.
"Park improvements have been at the top of the list for constituents," Medina said, adding that he hopes to continue collaborating with Mayor Julián Castro, who endorsed him, on projects including park development and bringing jobs and infrastructure to the district.
Running her first race fueled by loans and family donations, Gonzales advocated a "walkable community" and "traffic-calming ideas," as well as more attention to stray dogs — the issue that got her interested in holding a city office when she couldn't get results.
"What has been most disappointing about this councilman, and what people are really, really angry about, is that he didn't include people, that he was not available to people, that he missed so many meetings. Those are the things we immediately need to correct," Gonzales said.
