Montgomery County planners have submitted their draft vision for a new sector plan surrounding the Glenmont Metrorail station that would encourage development of a low-scale, mixed-use transit center.
The plan suggests for the first time that the county could take control of part of an aging strip mall to jump-start redevelopment of the area, which has been stalled for decades.
The plan's goal differs little from other concepts floated since the years before Metro came to Glenmont in 1998, but it offers options to encourage or even force redevelopment of the dilapidated Glenmont Shopping Center.
The focus of the redevelopment — and planners' efforts to craft a land assembly deal among multiple property owners — is the 20-acre strip mall, which dates to 1959 and is anchored by a CVS and Staples office supply store.
The report states that "the most significant and desired change in Glenmont is the complete transformation of the existing Glenmont Shopping Center site into Glenmont Town Center, a mixed-use and pedestrian-oriented hub that maximizes the site's proximity to the Glenmont Metro station and establishes a new image and identity for Glenmont."
The plan, scheduled for a public hearing before the Planning Board on June 7, calls for redeveloping the strip mall as a low-scale town center with new retail, residential and office space. Stymied by multiple property owners of the strip mall, the only significant changes have been the opening of Staples where a Magruder's grocery once stood and a Shoppers grocery moving into space next to the strip mall where the defunct Hechinger's hardware chain once had a store.
But county planners offered three concepts that rely on different levels of county intrusion to encourage owners to buy into redeveloping the crime-plagued retail strip into a community centerpiece. The plan included the following options to win participation by 13 owners of 15 properties and seven owners of the surrounding parking lot.
Facilitation of voluntary land assembly: Montgomery County can play a proactive role in facilitating land assembly by working directly with property owners as part of a master planning process to encourage them to coordinate and consolidate their parcels as part of a development package. The county then would help them develop a request for proposals for developers and can provide help in selecting a developer. This approach was called "minimally intrusive" and avoids using regulations or incentives to encourage owners to participate. The process could be eased by an expedited plan review process, temporary fee reductions or forgiveness, and designation of a permit facilitation team that meets with developers and property owners.
Creation of a land assembly district: Approval for assembly and sale of land would occur only through a majority vote of property owners. In return for them joining the district, the county could provide incentives such as a density bonus or tax abatement. The report notes that such districts are "still theoretical in nature" but have been advocated by "leading scholars at Harvard University" and others as a solution to redevelopment constraints.
Equity ownership in development and public-private partnership: This would promote creation of a development corporation in which property owners become shareholders based on the pro-rata value of their properties. The development corporation then could seek public or private development partners or a single property owner can become lead developer. The concept could work with a land assembly district as part of a voluntary assembly process, or condemnation and eminent domain policies could be used to secure partial public ownership.
Mixed-use development proposed for Laurel's arts district
Municipal Square in Laurel, where the former Laurel police station sits vacant, likely will be the site for a new mixed-use development, according to city officials.
Klingbeil Capital Management of California signed a contract May 15 to buy the 2-acre property from the city for $2.3 million, to create a mixed-use development called C Street Flats.
On Wednesday, developers will present a proposed concept design to the Laurel City Council for a public hearing, with subsequent hearings in June.
"It's a really great location," said Karl Brendle, director of the city's department of community planning and business services, adding that the development could make the Patuxent Riverfront Park the center of the downtown area. "You could live here by the riverside, and it's a two-minute walk to the [Laurel MARC] train station. It brings life to the side streets and the river."
The complex is slated to have about 136 units and amenities, including a pool and a clubhouse, said Jim Callard, Klingbeil Capital Management's president. Callard said the company does not yet have an estimated cost for the project.
Municipal Square is wedged in between B and C streets just off of Main Street, in the heart of the city's fledgling Arts District.
The Main Street area has struggled in recent years with vacancies and a slow economy, officials said, leading the city to adopt policies to try to revitalize the area, including the Arts District designation and incentives to businesses that move there. The Laurel Arts District Exploratory Committee is working to provide direction and proposals for building an arts and entertainment district, with venues for artists and amenities such as restaurants and shopping.
"We've been very encouraged by the [committee] members, by their comments and what they're trying to do with the area," Callard said. "When you tie that with what the city is trying to do [on Main Street], we think it's a really good site and a really good investment."
Space will be available in the development for artists to live and work, with the opportunity for gallery space and studios in the retail section of the development, though Callard said the square footage has not been nailed down.
Home Properties announces 10 properties for sale
Home Properties of Rochester, N.Y., announced that it has put 10 apartment properties up for sale in the Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and New York regions.
Home Properties owns thousands of apartment units in the Baltimore-Washington corridor and is planning more. Major development projects include Eleven55 Ripley, two buildings that will offer 379 luxury apartments in downtown Silver Spring when completed late next year. The company also plans to redevelop part of the historic Falkland Chase complex in Silver Spring, where it will build about 1,200 new units and a Harris Teeter grocery.
The company said the undisclosed properties it plans to sell have an estimated value in excess of $300 million.
The sales mark a sharp reversal in the company's asset disposition plans. It sold no properties in 2010 and 2011 and said in its annual report released Feb. 27 that it planned to sell properties worth $50 million to $150 million this year.
California teachers' pension fund takes control of LCOR
The California State Teachers' Retirement System announced that it bought majority control of LCOR, developer of the North Bethesda Center mixed-use complex, in a deal worth more than $800 million.
The pension fund said it acquired a 90 percent stake in the Berwyn, Pa., developer, whose holdings include the 2.7 million-square-foot North Bethesda complex that is home to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission headquarters, as well as major holdings in Tysons Corner, Va., New York City and elsewhere. The deal also includes extensive properties owned by LCOR's former partner, Lehman Brothers.
The deal ends LCOR's 14-year relationship with Lehman Brothers, which survived the Wall Street bank's collapse in 2008 that helped trigger the worldwide financial meltdown and Great Recession.
"This is an excellent outcome for these properties and for all of the constituents who will benefit, including our creditors. It is another successful example of our strategy to monetize assets that are stable and liquid, and to actively manage and invest in quality entities like LCOR when doing so can contribute significant added value," said Jeff Fitts, Lehman's head of real estate, in a statement.
LCOR, which is building a second apartment tower near the NRC offices at the White Flint Metrorail station, manages more than 7,400 multifamily units, 7.7 million square feet of commercial space, and a substantial development pipeline of mixed-use real estate.
The teachers' fund brings deep pockets to LCOR. Its portfolio was valued at $153.7 billion as of April 30.
Medical insurer signs 68,470-square-foot lease in Elkridge
XLHealth/United Healthcare Services leased 68,470 square feet at Meadowridge 95, a two-story office building in Elkridge, according to broker Cassidy Turley, which represented the tenant.
The Howard County property, at 6514 Meadowridge Road, is certified gold by the U.S. Green Building Council. XLHealth of Baltimore is a newly acquired operating division of United Healthcare Services, the medical insurer in the U.S.
Merritt Properties owns Meadowridge 95.
The play's the thing for Redwood Trust
The Helm Foundation bought the Redwood Trust building in downtown Baltimore on behalf of the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company for $1.25 million, according to Transwestern, which brokered the sale.
The 18,500-square-foot building at 200 E. Redwood St. is one of the few remaining buildings that survived fire of 1904 that burned down much of the central business district. The property, which has been home to a series of nightclubs in recent years, was built in 1885 for the former Mercantile Trust and Deposit Co. and served as a bank until 1993.
Once the lease expires for the Dubai nightclub in January, the new owners plan to convert the interior into a 250-seat theater, requiring an additional $4.75 million in improvements. The seller completely restored the building interior in 2001 at a cost of $2.2 million, which included Corinthian columns, high coffered ceilings and new electrical, plumbing and other systems. The building was awarded the Historic Preservation Award for excellence in rehabilitation in 2002 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Transwestern represented the seller and Colliers International represented the buyer.
KBE Building finishes Rockville retail renovations
KBE Building has completed renovations of the 130,000-square-foot Montrose Crossing retail center at the intersection of Rockville Pike and Randolph Road in Rockville.
The Columbia company worked with Perkowitz+Ruth architects on the project, which entailed renovating the former Levitz building for a 60,441-square-foot Bob's Discount Furniture store and 24,890 square feet of retail space for A.C. Moore, according to a KBE statement.
KBE also managed construction of the Nebel Street Extension, a new roadway along the existing railroad.
The project won Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, by having 97 percent of demolition materials recycled; using local materials; increasing capacity for storm water management; and installing a reflective white roof to cut cooling costs, according to KBE.

We know you've got questions...and we're always glad to answer them! But first, if you don't mind terribly, have a look below and see if maybe the answer you seek isn't already here. If it isn't feel free to shoot us an email!
We offer a variety of services from the United States Postal Service (USPS) and United Parcel Service (UPS) including the lesser expensive USPS services such as First Class and First Class International.
We take shipping orders in a timely manner and with the best possible care in packaging VERY seriously here at Rotofugi and that's not just talk. We collect toys and art too and understand just how important it is that your items show up fast and protected well along their journey.
We ship to just about anywhere! Chances are we have shipped to your country before, and we'd be glad to do it again!
We can't exactly answer this one here for obvious reasons (it would be a massive chart, we bet) but we do have a shipping calculator built into our online store, so with just a little tiny bit of work on your part you can get a shipping quote for anywhere in the world! Read on for instructions!
First, put the items you want in your cart. Then click the "View Cart" button. At the bottom of that page click "Estimate Shipping" and enter your information for a plethora of shipping quotes!
Most packages are insured and guaranteed for the value of the merchandise. If your package is not delivered within 21 days for domestic customers and 45 days for international customers we will refund or replace your order.
Please note: these are not estimates of delivery times, but simply worst case scenarios and the time frames required by our insurers to file a claim. One caveat...damaged packaging is not covered by insurance. We do our very best to package items for shipping in a manner that will protect the contents...we use heavy boxes and lots of padding!
When you check out, one of the shipping options given under the "Other" menu will be "Hold for Later Delivery." If you choose that option we will reserve the items in your order and hold onto them until you tell us to ship them, at which time we will provide you with a shipping quote.
Why would you want to do that? Well....a lot of our international customers use it to combine several small orders over a period of time into one shipment to save on shipping costs. Or maybe you're moving and don't know your new address yet, but want to make sure an item doesn't sell out before you are ready to give that new address. Two great reasons to choose "Hold for Later Delivery!"
When you are ready for your order or orders to be shipped just drop us an email at email@example.com and tell us and we'll send you a quote for shipping. Pay up the shipping and your order(s) will be on their way! Thanks!
We collect sales taxes for the state of Illinois only. We do not collect any customs fees, duties, VAT or other delivery fees that may be required of you if you live outside of the United States. Payment of taxes, duties, customs fees, VAT, etc. is the sole responsibility of the recipient.
First Class (domestically) is reasonably fast. Packages can take anywhere from a couple days to a little over a week for delivery, depending on your location. Please do not choose First Class if you're in a rush!
First Class International, on the other hand, is almost always a slow service. It is reliable, but does not provide tracking nor a delivery estimate. In our experience delivery times vary greatly from country to country, but should take anywhere from 1 to 8 weeks.Please note that First Class International packages not trackable, and as such, are not insured or guaranteed for delivery.
Finally, if you choose First Class or First Class International there is a chance that the items you ordered may exceed the weight restrictions for those services. In such an event we will contact you and offer you alternate shipping options (which, unfortunately, will usually mean that you may have to make an additional payment....sorry). We're doing our best to make sure accurate weights are available for all of our items, but the weight of the packaging (and the infinite possible combination of items on our store) can make it difficult to calculate the final weight of a package.
Domestic (within the United States) Express Mail is NOT necessarily an overnight service. In many cases it can take 2-3 days for delivery, though it can be overnight to some destinations. Please check this page on USPS.com (use 60614 for the origin zip code) for their delivery guarantees on Express Mail.
USPS Express Mail International (EMS) is usually 3-5 days.
We do our very best to ship orders as fast as we can! Most orders ship the next day after you order (often the same day if we can). The following guidelines should help you determine when your order will ship...we hit these guidelines about 99% of the time:
|Order Before
|Ship Day
|2pm Central Time Monday
|2pm Central Time Tuesday
|2pm Central Time Wednesday
|2pm Central Time Thursday
|Order After
|Ship Day
|2pm Central Time Friday
Here's a handy dandy map...remember, these are "business" days, weekends don't count!
We take Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and Paypal. We do NOT take checks or money orders for online sales, sorry. Click here for more info on how we secure your credit card information.
We do indeed!

A blind box is a toy that comes in a package that makes identifying the specific figure inside impossible...you will receive a single figure in a sealed package. Random assortment means that there are lot of different choices, but you don't get to choose....we'll just choose one at random for you, though we usually allow you to request a specific design/color. Click here for a little bit more of an explanation.
Unless otherwise noted Pre-Orders require payment in full up front. If you order additional items at the same time as your Pre-Order we will hold the items and ship them when your Pre-Order is available to ship. Sometimes we do "Pre-Order Deposits." If the item is described as a deposit, the item description will contain the details and the final price of the pre-order. When the item arrives we will send you instructions for paying the balance of your order and the shipping. If you do not want items to be held with your Pre-Order, please place seperate orders (meaning order the Pre-Order item seperate from any other items).

Disney fires everyone at LucasArts.
EA studios DICE (Battlefield) and Visceral (Dead Space) will both make new games in the popular sci-fi franchise, and BioWare (Star Wars: The Old Republic) will "continue" to work on Star Wars games.
"Every developer dreams of creating games for the Star Wars universe," said EA Labels president Frank Gibeau in a statement. "Three of our top studios will fulfill that dream, crafting epic adventures for Star Wars fans. DICE and Visceral will produce new games, joining the BioWare team which continues to develop for the Star Wars franchise. The new experiences we create may borrow from films, but the games will be entirely original with all new stories and gameplay."
In summary, Disney shuts down LucasArts and then licenses out the franchise to EA. You can read the press release here.
Screw you Disney.
Disclaimer: Adult Language.
"After evaluating our position in the games market, we've decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimizing the company's risk while achieving a broader portfolio of quality Star Wars games. As a result of this change, we've had layoffs across the organization. We are incredibly appreciative and proud of the talented teams who have been developing our new titles."

Sister's Run Epiphany Shiraz 2008, Mclaren Vale, South Australia
South Australia, Australia
$16.95 (269464)
Critic Reviews (1)
Community Reviews (5)
The rich, intense taste hits you right from the start. But as is common for Australian Shiraz around this price point, it does not completely cover up the sharp edges. Shiraz lovers will score this higher than I do.
Pepper, leather, black cherry, and nuts on the nose. Intensely fruity with big tannins that are starting to soften. Full-bodied wine that will improve over the next 3 years and is excellent value.
stunning Shiraz. Smoky, heavy, full of dark fruit and hints of chocolate.
Went really well with BBQ burgers.
As Gary Vee says "Oak Monster" Australian makeup fruit bomb - meets herbaceous inspired Rioja. Not a serious wine but a definite pleasure seeker. Love'n this bombastic lip stick wine!

Fire department warns of dangers associated with season
Fire officials throughout the Tri-County area are warning residents to be aware of possible causes of fire during the holiday season.
As the weather turns colder, the use of heating equipment and fireplaces increases.
Warren County Fire Marshal Doug Young said it is important for people using stoves to keep the chimney clean.
"If they don't know how to do it, there is professional help available," he said. "We see chimney fires and attic fires because of defective chimneys."
Granville County Fire Marshal Doug Logan said, "Burning wrapping paper in a fireplace is a no-no."
The coating on the paper will coat the chimney with creosote, he said.
"Chimney fires become house fires," Logan said.
Care should be taken when portable heaters are used to keep the house warm. Lorraine Carli, vice president of communications at the National Fire Prevention Association, said, "Space heaters clearly present the greatest risk of home heating fires."
Young said, "Never leave them unattended. With electric heaters, use only approved cords. Never use an extension cord."
Gas heaters and even fireplaces can be the source of carbon monoxide, which is an invisible killer.
"Carbon monoxide is a concern any time a fossil fuel is burned," Logan said. "It's an odorless, colorless gas. The human eye and nose cannot detect it. We highly recommend a working carbon monoxide detector."
Christmas brings another set of hazards related to decorations and Christmas trees.
Jon Juntunen, fire and safety educator for the Henderson Fire Department, suggested precautions for people as they decorate Christmas trees.
"There is indoor wiring and outdoor wiring," he said. "Be sure to use the proper wiring."
Logan cautioned against overloading wiring. All those beautiful Christmas lights can become a hazard when too many lights are plugged into one circuit, he said.
The NFPA estimates that one-third of Christmas tree fires are caused by electrical problems.
Juntunen said real trees should be placed a safe distance from any source of heat, like the fireplace, radiator, heat vent or space heater.
And he emphasized that water should be added at the base every day. Cut trees dry out and become highly flammable very quickly.
Logan said, "It only takes seconds for a tree to be fully involved."
NFPA emphatically warns in a statement, "Never use lit candles to decorate the tree."
Young said every home should have smoke detectors to provide early warning of fire. The Warren County Department of Emergency services has smoke detectors available. Warren County residents can obtain one free while the supply lasts by calling (252) 257-2666.

Alicia Drier had tears running down her cheeks as an electric razor stripped red curly locks from her head Friday afternoon at Concordia Lutheran High School.
About 30 Concordia High School students and faculty members participated in the second annual shearing for a good cause. Money raised – along with the hair – goes to the St. Baldrick Foundation, a nonprofit which works to fight childhood cancer.
Drier, a teacher at Concordia Lutheran, was able to raise $300 by volunteering to shave her head. Last year, students were able to raise $8,000. Student organizer Allison McConnell, a 16-year-old sophomore, said their goal is $10,000 for this year.
As students and faculty members took the stage in the auditorium, they told the gathered student body just why they were making the sacrifice. Most had been touched by a family member who was either deceased or battling cancer. Some were closer to home than others, with wives, grandparents, cousins, brothers, sisters and friends among those noted.
Aleigha Sweet, 10, there to help out, is four years removed from battling her own cancer. Her father recalled Aleigha began the battle at age 4. Now she will do anything to help out the St. Baldrick foundation, which helped her when she was ill.
"Miracles do happen," Tom Sweet, her father, said.
Sweet said parents have to be positive when they are around their child to give them a hopeful outlook to battle the disease.
"You just have to believe," Sweet said.
Aleigha Sweet's hair is now just long enough to get into pigtails that reached her shoulders, but Friday she offered it up, along with the other student and faculty members.

Poet John Dorsey publishes new bookWritten by Matt Liasse | | email@example.com
In a Feb. 7 YouTube video, book publisher Wolfgang Carstens reads a book from behind the wheel of his Chevy Astro. And just what book was so enthralling to him?
That would be "Tombstone Factory," Toledo Free Press Star columnist John Dorsey's newest collection of poems.
"It's a funny video," Dorsey said. "[Carstens is] very enthusiastic; he's very passionate about what he does."
"Tombstone Factory" was published by Epic Rites Press, based out of Alberta, Canada.
"John Dorsey is a literary alchemist," Carstens said on epicrites.org. "Dorsey's poetry is genuine, unique, accessible, and it always manages to transcend the act of putting words on the page and work its way into your bloodstream."
Carstens goes the extra mile to promote a published book, Dorsey said, which is a reason he looked forward to working with him. At the end of the YouTube video, Carstens mails the first copy of the book to Dorsey.
"Every time you're waiting on a new book, it's kind of like the night before Christmas," Dorsey said. "It took kind of an extra amount of time because it came from Canada. It was great when it finally arrived."
Dorsey said he always get nervous and excited while waiting for books to arrive.
Dorsey and Carstens have known each other for five years. Because not just anyone can submit work to Epic Rites Press, Carstens gave Dorsey an open invitation to send work whenever he wished.
Dorsey said he's always noticed Carstens' attention to detail.
"The books that come in, they're beautiful," Dorsey said. "They're works of art in and of themselves."
The artwork in "Tombstone Factory" was done by Henry Denander, who Dorsey has known for a while. Denander once asked Dorsey if he could paint a portrait of him, which is the image that appears on the back of the book.
Carstens asked Denander to do the artwork for "Tombstone Factory" without knowing of his friendship with the author.
"It was a happy coincidence," Dorsey said.
This is Dorsey's third full-length work published, with about 30 smaller collections already under his belt, he said. He said each time he's published is exciting.
"I can't wait to hold [my books] in my hands," he said.
Some of "Tombstone Factory" deals with death, Dorsey said, and serves as a dedication to the people he knows who have died in the past couple years.
"I hope people are uplifted by it," Dorsey said. He added that he wasn't looking to be dark with his poems.
Dorsey said he got the title "Tombstone Factory" from another poet, Ryan Bunch, who said the phrase while reading a poem years ago. Dorsey approached him after the reading and told him he wanted it for a title one day.
Bunch received a free copy of "Tombstone Factory." The title is also a line in the poem "Secondhand Unicorns."
A few poems included in the book are dedicated to other poets.
"It's just a tribute to people that I've worked with in this community. [I've been] doing this sort of thing for about 20 years now," Dorsey said.
One poem in the book, "Sugar Coated," was dedicated to Dorsey's friend William Taylor Jr. The poem was inspired by a nostalgic conversation they had about how toys used to come in cereal boxes. Some lines include, "When I was a kid, they used to put prizes at the bottom of cereal boxes. I remember rolling up my sleeves and reaching in with Cheerios up to my elbows."
Dorsey said his favorite poem in the book is "The Bride of Frankenstein," which was one of the final poems to be added.

Reid Hoffman, cofounder and chairman of LinkedIn, recently came out with a book labeled the "start up of you." In the first few pages, Reid explains to his readers the importance an entrepreneur can have on society.
However, most people in this world are not cut out to be an entrepreneur, Reid goes on to explain, due to the high risk of failure, stress brought on from slaking co workers and difficulties in time management skills. To find the right balance of an entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to handle long hours of labor intensified work is what will set an individuals creative mindset on the perfect path to success.
The job market is currently headed in the wrong direction to the point men and women of their sixties and seventies have rejoined the work force to leave middle aged Americans stuck without an entry or mid level position and college graduates who find it tough to land any type of paid job in the professional world at all. It is as if Americans are keeping one another on the ground rather than helping one another get back up after they fall.
The secret for Americans who would like to see America get back on track, is to focus on a solid career path first and find a way to help others second. This may sound selfish to focus on oneself before others but in order to better others, one must first be able to better oneself.
To put ones own thoughts and ideas as first priority in order to seize the bigger picture of a smarter, more productive world is an entrepreneurs way of thinking(with a bit of philosophy thrown in.) Before we were forced into the labor intensified work force, men were entrepreneurs "finding our food, feeding ourselves…when we were in the caves, we were all self employed" as told by Nobel peace prize winner, Muhammad Yunus.
To succeed in today's world you will need to hold on to the same entrepreneurial mindset as, Reid Hoffman, as you continue to focus on the same structured labor intensified work week as a nine to five. Remember hard is never hard enough, good is not great and failing should never be an option.

School officials cited to courtStaff Report | July 08,2013DANVILLE - The principal and superintendent of schools for Danville High School have been cited into criminal court on charges of failure to report child abuse, as well as neglect of duty by a public officer.
According to a news release issued Monday by Detective Trooper Lyle Decker, on May 8, the Vermont State Police received a report from the Department of Children and Families about a Danville High School student who had reported to have been inappropriately touched twice by a school teacher on April 29.
Detectives with the Bureau of Criminal Investigation began an investigation, and learned that the incident was initially reported to Noah Noyes, the Danville High School principal. Noyes subsequently advised Martha Tucker, Caledonia Central Supervisory Union superintendent, of the student's accusation.
Neither Noyes nor Tucker reported the incident to DCF, as required by law as mandated reporters within 24 hours, according to Decker.
Instead, DCF learned of the April 29 incident on May 8, through the student's parents and immediately called the Vermont State Police.
The allegation of inappropriate contact between the teacher and the student is still under investigation; details are not being released. No other comment was available on Monday.
Noyes and Tucker were cited to court and released. They are both scheduled to appear in Caledonia criminal court on Aug. 12.MORE IN This Just In

Brussels airport is preparing to introduce continuous-descent approaches into its standard procedure after trials indicated promising fuel savings from the technique.
Over the course of 10 months last year, five operators - Brussels Airlines, DHL, Jetair, Singapore Airlines Cargo and Thomas Cook Airlines - took part in a test of the operation.
Belgian airspace is complex, owing to it being a crossing point between major European hubs and shared by four military bases. "In this context it is not easy to conduct optimal landings," says Brussels airport's operator which, along with Brussels Airlines and air traffic service Belgocontrol, makes up the B3 consortium overseeing the project.
The initial phase of the testing, from September to December 2010, collected data on aircraft descent profiles to optimise air traffic-control procedures and maximise the number of continuous approaches.
Operational tests ran until 30 October last year. Owing to the density of the airspace, and the demands of co-ordination, the procedure can only be conducted 15-70km (8-38nm) from the runway. Typically the continuous descent was authorised at 11,500ft (3,500m).
"Because of the required standard separations between aircraft, the procedure could not be applied at all times," says the airport operator, and was limited to about 9% of all participating flights, a total of around 3,000 over the course of the tests.
But the results indicate that aircraft the size of an Airbus A320 would typically burn 50kg less fuel, a saving which doubles for long-haul types, as a result of the ability to avoid thrust changes associated with step-down procedures. The consortium describes the saving as being significant, even with the limited availability. It adds that analysis from the University of Leuven showed a 2-3dB noise reduction 15km from the airport. "Now that the test phase has been successfully completed, the next step is to incorporate this 'green' landing technique in the official procedures," says the consortium.

By mzo from USA on 2007-12-09 23:31:02Things I liked:B26-2 works very well with Gamo Hunter pellet. I shot 0.5 group at 20 yards, considering the bad shooting position. Crosman Premier and Beeman Silver Bear hi-impact got about 1" group. Gamo Hunter is the most penetrating pellet compared to the other two.
Things I would have changed:The rifle cheek is so high that the gun needs a tall scope mount. Otherwise, you need to duck down your head to peak into the scope. That should be changed.
What others should know:Make sure you have a tall scope mount. The accuracy decreases after 35 yards.

By Anymouse from USA on 2009-12-11 17:54:35Things I liked:Beautiful gun, good workmanship. Even finish (bluing and stain). Accuracy is superb - 1/2 in groups at 25 yds with the right ammo (RWS Proline Meisterkugeln). Trigger is decent and adjustable, can be tuned for ultra-precise, crisp let-off. Very easy cocking effort for amount of power in the gun - significantly easier than RWS/Diana 34P that throws pellets the same speed. Strong enough to pass pellets right through grey squirrels at 20-25 yds.
Things I would have changed:Trigger needs some tuning for those who demand ultra-high, light, crisp performance. Stock, as noted, is too high and must be re-shaped. Gun seems picky about pellets. Crossman Premiers get puked up like the barrel is bent. Beeman Lasers aren't much better. Beeman Kodiaks are slightly better, and JSB Diabolo Exacts shoot very well. The RWS Meisterkugelns shoot like a dream - pellet on pellet accuracy at least 25 yards out. 1/2 in groups with slight wind. On a dead calm day I bet they would shrink.
What others should know:Have not had a chance to do lots of shooting at >25 yds yet. I suspect group sizes will grow more with distance, as there is a little more variation in pellet speed than other guns in the same 'class' (e.g. RWS/Diana 34P noted above). However, the class is populated by guns $100 more expensive and up - this gun is definitely a very talented freshman playing on the varsity team. As the gun has no open sights, a scope must be mounted. Do yourself a favor and get a good scope for it ($100-150 range) because the gun will perform up to that level. This is an entry-level price for a high-quality gun, especially when tuned. I would give 6 stars value-for money if I could. Chronograph testing listed above by P.A. is spot on - results in about 14.0-14.3 ft-lbs energy (measured at 10') across various weight pellets. Using 14 ft-lbs and weight of the pellet in grains, you can back out a very accurate number for expected pellet velocity for whatever weight/speed combination suits you. Please note: contrary to some other reviews, the safety IS ABLE to be re-activated after it is taken off. Safety is activated at the end of the cocking stroke just after the spring catches. To re-safety, simply break the barrel and 're-cock', which will not affect the spring (still cocked and held from first stroke) but will re-enable the safety.

Dont understand why this app is not available for the 8500A Pro Plus. This particular app was a motivation for me getting the HP printer. Would be perfect for my lil niece and nephew.
Wondering why HP would make #eprint apps that aren't supported on all print models. I have an HP B210 and many great apps like this one just don't work. What a joke! Hey HP take a hint from the Apple App store ALL users should be treated the same.
I'm really sad..when I bought my printer I was told this was one of the apps available :(
Mary331, let us know what you think once you've tried it!
Learn2L, let the developers know by submitting your idea!
Why isn't this app or the Facebook available for my printer??? Hp photosmart B210 series.. please fix this.
Gsuk, have you added your printer to your ePrintCenter account? One you've done that you'll be able to view all of the print apps that are available for your specific printer. It's also important to keep in mind that not all print apps are available for all printers!
How can i get different apps to use on my printer, i am now gettting connected top the server, but i can not get the leapfrog APP on my printer, can anyone tell me how i do this please. I can access the one's pre set on it, but non on line, thanks in advance
We definately want to help! You mentioned you've tried the forum but didn't get anywhere and I was hoping you could be more specific. Did you open a thread with your issue? I've taken the liberty of searching for similar issues on the ePrint and Print App support forums and came up with these results. Hopefully this helps!
Thanks for the reply i have tried to solve my problem there and i am still getting no where, i am on wireless network not cable, and these are my problems. I could cry i am so frustrated with it all!!!!
When I 1st set up the printer by installation CD and following all instructions on the screen and printer, I can not access 3 things.To download any furthers apps, because I need information from the printer, I am told I got this when I 1st set it up and a copy print out, I did not, it says I can printer the printer information off by going through settings wireless print off printer information and printers email address, I can visually get the printers email address and have wrote it down., But it can not access the information when it tries to connect to HP it says it can connect to server please try again later. When I want to print off from the apps installed I get right to the point where it is about to print off my choices then I get 'server temporary unavailable please try again later. Because it can not connect to the server I can not get photos printed when I email them to my printer.
So right now all I can do is printing wirelessly scan and copy.
Gsuk, the best place to ask questions and find answers is the ePrint and Print Apps support forum. They're the best equipped to get you up and running as quickly as possible.
how do i connect my printer, it is on line and i can print but i keep getting there was a problem connecting to the server, thus meaning i can not get my info page to put in here to download apps, and if i try to use the apps pre installed i get an error sayign temporarily unavailable. Am i missing sometthing, feeling very frustrated
HP? It would be nice to know which printers this app DOES work on, as it is a factor in my decision-making. I am not yet an HP printer owner. Please, chime in real soon. Thanks.
I have a grandaughter how just loves her leap frog . Looking for more to come . Thanl you Mr.s Joycie Toleikis
Why isn't this app available for my Photosmart Plus B210e? The apps for this printer seem quite limited and I just got it for Chirstmas....
Junkyardgurl, thanks for your interest in this print app. This Leapfrog print app is free, so have fun and print as much as you'd like!
I am new to this, but like so far. Does this cost money? I am just learning about it and still have to add printer.ty
I would LOVE to have this app for the Photosmart Plus All In One B210 Please.....
I get a photosmart printer, get it connected wirelessly, create this account, get jazzed about apps, and now I was really excited about this one for my kids; only to find out it isn't available for this particular printer I've got. Maybe at some point it will be for the D110?
I have a preschooler and we're really starting to get into the vocabularly building activities... these worksheets are very helpful

Practice Experiences
Students may choose to directly experience the practice of law in the "hands on" settings afforded by the Clinical Experiences and Externship Programs. Students who have been certified as a "Senior Law Student" pursuant to Illinois Supreme Court Rule 711 (requiring completion of three-fifths of the credits required for graduation) have the opportunity to experience the practice of law in a well-supervised setting that strives to help students make the transition from classroom to courtroom
These opportunities are offered through the College of Law's Zeke Giorgi Legal Clinic in Rockford, as well through other settings. The Zeke Giorgi Legal Clinic is a recent addition to the College of Law. Named in honor of Edolo "Zeke" Giorgi, a member of the Illinois House of Representative for the 67th District from 1965 until his death in 1993, the Clinic stands as tribute to Zeke's legislative efforts on behalf of young people, education, and his local constituency. The Giorgi Clinic provides high quality representation to persons who would otherwise not be able to obtain it.

To run or not to run (with cold) is question
CORPUS CHRISTI - Just days before the Harbor Half Marathon, I came down with a sore throat — a sure sign that a cold was coming.
I tried to fend it off by loading up on vitamin C and resting as much as I could. But it wasn't much use. I woke up Sunday, the morning of the race, with a cough and runny nose.
I went to the startling line that morning still unsure if I should run the 13.1-mile race. This was not the worst cold in history, but I'd certainly never run so far with an illness.
Luckily, I ran into Dawn English before the race. English is a world-class triathlete who coached me in the South Texas Area Runners Riders and Swimmers community challenge to finish a triathlon in August.
I asked her opinion on the impact a cold would have on my race, and vice versa.
"Do you have anything important to do on Monday?" she asked.
Well, just work, I answered.
She asked if this was my main race of the season or if I had others coming up. I answered I planned to do another half in December.
English thought I could take it easy and probably finish. I could drop out at the halfway point if I felt too sick to continue. There would be a bus there anyway to take the relay runners back to the starting and finishing line.
She warned that any exercise over an hour suppresses the immune system, which likely would lead to me getting sicker.
As I took off across the starting line, I still wasn't sure whether I should go. I decided to abandon any goal of beating last year's time and just try to finish. I'd never dropped out of a race before.
The first couple of miles were pretty rough. I honestly considered stopping in the first few minutes, before I got too far from the finish line to turn back. But sometime after that my congestion actually cleared up. I felt best in miles 3 through 8.
I did briefly consider stopping at the half, but I just kept going.
I crossed the finish line 5 minutes slower than last year and 13 minutes off my best half marathon time.
But at least I crossed.
After the race I was curious to find the physiological reasons why running long distances suppresses the immune system. I found articles online saying more moderate exercise — about 45 minutes every day — boosts the immune system.
But stints more than an hour or 1 1/2 hours produce stress hormones that can actually flip the ratio of immune suppressors and immune boosters in the body.
The effects on the immune system can last from a few hours to a few days.
The articles advise to stay away from sick people after long periods of exercise while the window is open to possible infection.
I would add to that to listen to your own body. If you feel too sick to run, you probably are.

(Shelby County, TN) Shelby County Sheriff Bill Oldham has yet to take action against an employee who broke the rules.
"I'm disappointed. Right now, I'm gathering all the facts. Examining the policies and protocols," said Oldham.
Public Information Officer Chip Washington sent out a press release on an official letterhead using a county e-mail announcing the sheriff's re-election.
Former U.S. Attorney David Kustoff said if the federal government helps pay Washington's salary, he also broke a federal law.
Kustoff said Washington could be suspended and even fired for what he did.
"People should not be conducting campaign activities while on the job," said Kustoff.
News Channel 3 put in a request to talk to Oldham to see where his investigation stood, but we were told he was "all tied up" today. All interview requests go through Washington.
Washington did send out an apology, but Kustoff said the damage is done.
News Channel 3 put in a public information request to find out if the federal government helps pay for Washington's salary. We are waiting to hear back.

Video:Profile of Ted Bundywith Dr. Charles Heller
Want to learn about Ted Bundy and his criminal profile? Here, see fascinating information about Ted Bundy's life.See Transcript
Transcript:Profile of Ted Bundy
Hello. I'm Dr. Charles Heller, a clinical and forensic psychologist. Here for About.com.I'm going to tell you about the criminal profile of Ted Bundy.
Information About Ted Bundy
Theodore Bundy was born in November, 1946, in Burlington, Vermont, to an unwed mother and he was raised by his grandparents in Philadelphia. His grandfather was reported to be violent. Ted discovered pornography at about that time and became obsessed with it. He was a loner. He was quite handsome and charismatic.
Ted Bundy Facts
Actually, in 1968, he managed Nelson Rockefeller's presidential campaign office in Seattle. And, he also worked at a suicide prevention hotline as a psych major while at The University of Washington. He also started Law School.And, the killings started in the pacific northwest. Female college students were disappearing at the rate of one per month. He also had victims in Colorado and Utah and Idaho.
Additional Ted Bundy Facts
Ted Bundy, sometime, walked around with crutches or his arm in a sling, to look like he was handicapped or disabled. To get empathy and sympathy from young women so that they could help him to his car. He would kidnap them and they wouldn't be seen a live again. He actually escaped twice from different jails. And, the second time he escaped first to Chicago and then he traveled to Florida, where he killed several young girls in a sorority house in Tallahassee. And these killings were quite gruesome. Most of his victims has their skulls bashed in, he took pieces of flesh out of them, he bit some of them.
More on Ted Bundy
He was found guilty and was given three death sentences in two separate trials for three people he killed in Florida. And he was electrocuted in the electric chair in January of 1989. Ted Bundy had numerous psychiatric and psychological examinations. The history is that he loved to steal. And, most of the things he accumulated in his life were stolen. Theft and taking other people possessions was a prime interest of his since he was a young child. Possessing other people is also part of that compulsion to steal. And, raping people is also part of that compulsion, because you in some way posses the victim. And the ultimate possession of the victim is to take their life. And, in some way, their life becomes intertwined with yours.
He was quite ill. He was mentally ill. But, he looked very normal, very attractive. And, he was very seductive.

Bryant G. Pace
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Bryant Goodson Pace, 99, passed away peacefully Friday, April 18, 2014, after a brief illness.
He was interred in the Pace family plot in Elmwood Cemetery in Henderson, North Carolina, on April 22, 2014.
Born the first of seven children on July 8, 1914, in Kittrell, North Carolina, Bryant, fondly known to many as B.G., had a lifelong passion for horses, physical fitness and art. He continued all of these pursuits well into his 80s. Indeed, he was still working out three times a week and drawing and painting every day until his upper 90s.
A founding member of Tidewater Western Riders, Bryant was considered by many to be the consummate horseman, riding in parades, performing rope tricks and rodeo stunts and inspiring generations of riders. His drawings and paintings were much in demand by friends and family; his subjects included portraits, scenes from his hometown and, of course, horses and riders.
Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 31 years, Jane G. Pace; stepdaughter Betty J. Credle; son Bryant L. Pace; daughter Candie Dail; grandchildren Eric and Jennifer; great-grandson Caleb; sister Hazel Pace Peck of Henderson; numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews; many friends; and his beloved cockatiel, Petey.

Posted 21 October 2012 - 08:17 AM
I'm trying to learn all of the ins and outs of living with this and adjusting ...I had no idea the things I was contaminating my body with unknowingly!
I haven't had time to really look around, but I was wondering anyones thoughts on cooking spray?
I stopped buying all walmart brands because I seem to get really sick no matter what. (except their olive oil and apple sauce seems to be okay)
I bought smart balance cooking spray, but realized there is grain alcohol in it. I can't find anything on it online, and smart balance says all their products of gluten free.

Survey: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene
Findings of a household survey conducted in 9 districts of Mozambique
Mozambique, March 2009 – In 2008, UNICEF contracted the firm WE Consult Lda to conduct a household survey on water, hygiene and sanitation in 9 districts of Mozambique. The survey aimed to collect information for use as baseline data for 18 districts which are part of the One Million Initiative, a partnership between the Government of Mozambique, the Government of The Netherlands and UNICEF.
The One Million Initiative aims to accelerate the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals with respect to access to drinking water and adequate sanitation for families and school communities. The Initiative is implemented in 18 districts in the provinces of Manica, Sofala and Tete during 2006 – 2013.
The sample survey is based on a rapid assessment methodology developed by UNICEF and WHO. For the household survey, the programme's population was stratified into two groups, the target stratum including households in communities where the programme will start with water and sanitation interventions, and the control stratum covering all other communities. The survey was designed to cover 1,600 households, of which half were in the target stratum and half in the control stratum.
The school survey sample design was set up similarly, whereby two districts were selected for the programme, and a total of 80 schools, again stratified in 40 schools targeted by the programme, and 40 control schools.
Summary of findings
The vast majority of households does not use an improved water source: 85 per cent of the households in the project area use an unimproved water source (in most cases this is a unprotected well or water from a river or stream). In the target clusters, this percentage is even higher, at 89 per cent.
High levels of microbiological contamination: Microbiological samples were taken both at household level and at their respective water points. The results indicate a considerable increase in contamination from the source to the household. This emphasises the need to promote water treatment in households. DALY calculations returned values of 79 and 61 for target and control clusters respectively (compared to 49 for the whole of Mozambique). Initial arsenic screening showed 2 samples with values above the WHO recommended limit of 10ppm.
Women carry the highest burden when it comes to collecting water. The situation in the project area is far more skewed than for developing countries in general, with women in charge of collecting the water in 90 per cent of the households, against 64 per cent for all developing countries.
Open defecation still widely practiced: Around 54 per cent of all household members in the project area still practise open defecation, against 28 per cent for the whole of sub-Saharan Africa. Only 2 per cent uses an improved facility, whereas the MDG target stands at 63 per cent. There are significant differences between the three provinces, with Tete province standing out because of its high number of unimproved (traditional) latrines.
A need to build awareness on proper hand washing: The vast majority of household members practises hand washing, however only 1 per cent uses both running water and soap/ash.
More than 85 per cent of households uses adequate practices for disposing of children's faeces.

With backing from the European Union (EU), the European Small Hydropower Association (ESHA) is to develop a database of European hydropower as well as recommendations on future hydro development.
The Streammap project is to run three years from its launch June 4, 2009, in a meeting at the Renewable Energy House in Brussels. ESHA said the program is partially funded by the EU under the Intelligent Energy Europe Program conducted by the European Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation.
ESHA is to coordinate and set up a central database called HYDI, including complete information on the hydropower sector for each of the 27 EU member states. Information is to range from basic data on the number of plants to investment and economic variables. It also is to cover policy and legislative frameworks.
The association said the second purpose of the program is to define a "road map" for the small hydropower sector, including recommendations on future development to be delivered to national and local policymakers in view of plans to increase use of renewable energy.
ESHA is to coordinate Streammap with a consortium of France-Hydro-Electricite, British Hydropower Association, Lithuanian Hydropower Association, Italian Association of Renewable Energy, Slovenian Small Hydropower Association, Swedish Renewable Energy Association, Romanian Institute for Hydro and Design, Portuguese Renewable Energy Association, Polish Hydropower Association, and Belgium Renewable Energy Federation.

He's been touring around Australia with One Direction this month, and on Tuesday afternoon (October 8) Harry Styles grabbed some lunch in Sydney.
On his way into Rush Cutters Bay, the "What Makes You Beautiful" singer stopped to pose for photos with twin girls who just happened to be huge fans.
Paying homage to one of the most controversial and memorable performances of the year, One Direction poked fun at Miley Cyrus at a recent concert in Australia.
First off, Niall Horan started off by singing the lyrics of part of "We Can't Stop" before making a rather pathetic attempt at twerking.
Showing some love to his Australian fans, Harry Styles stepped out of his Adelaide hotel for autographs and photos this morning (September 25).
The "Best Song Ever" singer delighted his loyal followers with his charm and even posed for a picture with an adorable little baby girl.
Staying in shape for their concerts, Harry Styles and Liam Payne got in a workout on Tuesday (September 24) in Adelaide, Australia.
The One Direction members were joined at their sweat session by members of their security detail while Harry ran and Liam got in some boxing.
Taking advantage of the local attractions, Harry Styles and Niall Horan showed up at the Barossa Valley Golf Club in Nuriootpa, Australia today (September 23).
The "What Makes You Beautiful" crooners played a round of golf during their relaxing afternoon off while fans and shutterbugs watched from afar.
Working up an appetite during his time in the States, Harry Styles grabbed grub with a friend in Los Angeles on Friday (September 20).
The One Direction member wore a purple plaid shirt, gray hat, and black jeans as he smiled with his pizza and coconut drink.
Always an avid fashion fanatic, Harry Styles showed up at the Fashion East Show at Top Shop Space in London, England this afternoon (September 17).
The One Direction hunk sat alongside Pixie Geldof, Nick Grimshaw, and Poppy Delevingne, sporting a casual white t-shirt with black trousers as the runway presentation got underway.
