the best spanish food restaurant ever
Posted by Larry B. Harvey on 04/11/2009
This place is great if your looking for a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy some good food. The staff takes time to make sure your getting helped, even if their english isn't too good, and you cannot beat the price for the portions! Give it a try!

Steak sandwich is the best you will find around here. Morir Sonando is best as well. Great price.

I've never eaten in, but I've ordered from there a few times, and everytime it has been a great experience. The portions are large, so the prices end up being pretty cheap compared to the sizes. Delivery service is quick as well. The only thing I can't comment on is the communication - I haven't ordered myself (my Spanish-speaking roommate ordered), so I don't know how well their English is.

When you eat there you get less in the $5 lunch special so take it to go. Beef stew and baked pork are the best. The cod fish isn't bad either. The staff is willing to work with you if you don't speak spanish (which I don't) and they always get everything the way I want it. I've always found a table when I wanted to dine in. And have had dinner there a few times where the prices were much different. So go for lunch. Really can't complain.

No frills atmosphere with lively music and friendly staff and even friendly customers. Food was hearty and good, perfect fro a cold evening. Steak sandwiches and soups were big enough for two. Was allowed to take stuff home, no problem. Totally enjoyable find. It's not in my neiborhood but will definitely make the extra travel efforts to return.

Dawson City is sinking and half of the historic town of 1,319, which was the center of Canada's gold rush in 1896, could be destroyed by melting permafrost, says University of Ottawa geography professor and permafrost expert Antoni Lewkowicz.
"Half of Dawson is built on permafrost and if the permafrost temperature raises by one degree it will cause major problems for the buildings," he said. "It's an icon for Canadians and the only solution I can come up with is to put a lot of money into keeping the ground frozen."
Lewkowicz is set to give a talk called 'Why is thawing permafrost like defrosting a turkey?' at the university on Thursday.
"Permafrost is like a turkey in that the surface warms quickly, but but then it takes a long time for the ice in the centre to thaw," he said. What he's worried about is the positive feedback loop melting permafrost creates.
"To thaw a turkey you put warm water on it, and we have a site in the Yukon where we're watching nearby water helping it thaw."
In 35 years working in and studying the Arctic, Lewkowicz said he is seeing "indications all around the Arctic that the permafrost is warming."
In 2010 he and two graduate students redid a survey from 1964 looking for permafrost along the Alaska highway. They found that half the permafrost was no longer there.
"My hope in giving this talk," he said, "is to educate the public and alumni about this issue and place it higher in the attention of politicians."
Professor Antoni Lewkowicz will speak Thursday, May 10, at Jock Turcot Hall.

An unidentified TSA agent searches a bag. (Photo by Carolina K. Smith MD)
The homeland security agency that oversees background checks for federally issued port and transportation worker identity cards needs to clean up the data it uses to vet applicants and rely less on private contractors to do the checks, said a recent Government Accountability Office study.
The Transportation Security Administration's Adjudication Center is the agency's primary operational component in assessing potential threats among workers who have unescorted access to the secure areas of the nation's critical transportation infrastructure. Those workers must get Transportation Worker Identification Cards (TWIC) from TSA.
TSA officials said there were 2.3 million active cards as of July 7, and it had found 51,930 applicants ineligible for the document since October 2007.
TWIC technical and procedural difficulties have raised Congressional concerns before. Backlogged TWIC applications have also been a common complaint on Capitol Hill.
In the study released in the last days of July, GAO said Congress had asked it to examine the Adjudication Center's performance and staffing strategy. The watchdog agency looked at how TSA measured performance for the center and what its data showed. The assessment also include the ways in which TSA offices have coordinated to meet security threat assessment workload, and how the agency addressed the potential risks of using a mix of government employees and contractors to decide security threat assessments.
What GAO found was a mix of positives and negatives. It said while the center met timeliness and performance measures, it didn't meet caseload performance measures, which lead to application backups. It also found that applicants who had been disqualified weren't informed in time to appeal the decision in an effective manner. GAO also questioned the center's accuracy rates because it counted only disqualified applicants, and not incorrectly approved ones. While the center relies heavily on a contractor workforce, TSA said it has no transition plans to establish the government-only workforce it has said it wants to run the center.
"TSA must resolve the deficiencies that plague the Adjudication Center," said House Homeland Security Committee ranking member Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) "TWIC applicants deserve an appeals process that is fair, efficient, and accurate – and the American public deserves a process that quickly and accurately ferrets out those individuals who may present a threat to ports and railways. TSA's continued over-reliance on contractors to complete much of this work must end."
GAO recommended that TSA should:
According to the report, DHS concurred with the recommendations.

It's been 10 weeks since I went to renew my card and it still hasn't been mailed out to me. As of today, I am unable to go back to work until it arrives, which according to the call center it will take 2-3 more weeks. As a single mother this is going to cause a great economic impact on my home. Not a happy camper right now.
Yeah... I had to submit a waver . I found out that I needed to within the first 60 days . But at the end of January it will have been eight months since I filed my waver . A lady contacted me at the end of November saying they were finally getting to it . She said I needed to submit the proper court papers , which I had already done twice . She didn't want to read threw the documents to find what she was looking for . So I pulled out the fax and circled everything in there she says wasn't listed . I circled it all it crayon and made several smart ass remarks to the effect . Also a comment about since we sent monkeys in space maybe we should appoint some to handle twic.
My husband paid 2 and half months ago. He may not get a job at the port due to TSA backlogged. Alot od people were turned down jobs because of TSA, and I feel there will be a law suit soon. People need to work and its their fault.
I'm extremely frustrated at the process. I applied for my Card August 12 2014 and I haven't received anything and heard anything. The call center is worthless and no one can tell you anything but It's At TSA. Really what's the purpose of a call center/help desk when they can't provide anything but to say It's waiting on TSA for approval. How about you shouldn't be pay for the card until it arrives! Quick to collect money for services that's not rendered! I have a clean background and as a recent Army retiree with a active secret clearance I didn't think this would take this long. People are loosing out on jobs and are loosing jobs because the lack of attention TSA is providing TWIC cards. I guess when it's not your job or a potential job on line then it's not important!

Thank you, friends, for your words of encouragement. It's tough to slog through all the emotional turmoil that comes with adding another child to your family. Thanks for believing in me...it helps me believe in me, which helps me not feel so afraid.
On a lighter note, two things. (1) Matthew is requesting me at bedtime regularly.
(2) Matthew said to me at dinner tonight:
"Mommy, wu tae oh wer dlash, wu woot wie tury motter!"
Translation: "Mommy, when you take off your glasses, you look like a scary monster!"
I howled. What a compliment!
Don't we all aspire to look like Tury Motters sometimes? Otherwise, the cleaned up version wouldn't be quite so special!

A Polite Note About the Play
Inspired by witty English gentlemen like Noel Coward and P.G. Wodehouse, Weekend follows a group of upper-crust Brits in the 1930's getting into trouble with love. Fueled by copious amounts of champagne, what begins as an innocent treasure hunt around the estate grounds turns into a frenzied competition for money, marriage, and love.
— Sara Montgomery, Playwright
Reviews & Quotes The Word Around Town
"I've seen two dozen-plus plays this year and this was one of the most enjoyable nights I had at the theater. Fresh, fun, funny -- I was about as far off-off-off Broadway as you could get and yet there I was, discovering this small gem of a play, and thinking, 'How lucky I am to find myself in this fourth-floor walk-up of a theater!' Don't tell anyone that I actually found a service elevator (I sincerely would have climbed another four floors!). An amazing work."
— Michael Moore (Oscar Winning Director)
"This energetic new comedy of manners is a hilarious and wonderful romp. Playwright Sara Montgomery just might be the downtown, illegitimate daughter of Noel Coward and PG Wodehouse. Performed by an exciting group of young actors and directed with comic precision by Paul Urcioli. It's a heck of a lot of fun.
— Neil Pepe (Broadway Director, Speed-the-Plow, A Life in the Theater)
"I love the Ateh Theater Group for offering the opportunity for a new playwright to be heard and for new and upcoming actors to be seen. Sara Montgomery's writing and all of the performances give proof that the future of American theatre is alive and well."
— Matthew Modine (Emmy-Nominated, Golden Globe Winner)
"Those looking to have a great time and to see a new play that will most likely end up on the same shelf as Present Laughter and Noises Off in a few years, should make sure to get down to the Access Theatre to see "Weekend at an English Country Estate."

Can prescribed fire be used to maintain fuel treatment effectiveness over time in Black Hills ponderosa pine forests?
Battaglia, Mike A.; Smith, Frederick W.; Shepperd, Wayne D. 2008. Can prescribed fire be used to maintain fuel treatment effectiveness over time in Black Hills ponderosa pine forests? Forest Ecology and Management. 256 (12): 2029-2038.
We determine the time frame after initial fuel treatment when prescribed fire will be likely to produce high enough mortality rates in ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa var. scopulorum Dougl. ex Laws.) regeneration to be successful in maintaining treatment effectiveness in the Black Hills of South Dakota. We measured pine regeneration in disturbed stands and young pine growth rates to estimate the susceptibility of pine regeneration to prescribed fire with time since initial treatment. We also determined surface fuel accumulation rates for stands after prescribed fire to help estimate likely fire behavior in maintenance prescribed fire. Given our estimates of regeneration density and tree size, and likely fire behavior, we then used small pine tree mortality-fire effect relations to estimate the effects of prescribed fire on developing understory pine at specific times since initial treatments.
Fuel treatments in ponderosa pine forests will lose their effectiveness within 10-20 years if regeneration densities are not controlled. The ability to successfully use prescribed fire to maintain low regeneration densities is dependent on seedling/sapling size and the frequency of burns. Current prescribed fire prescriptions and fuel loads are adequate to maintain low densities of ponderosa pine seedlings (<1 m tall) if burns occur every 10 years. If burn intervals exceed 15 years, regeneration can attain sizes that reduce susceptibility to prescribed fire under typical operational weather conditions. After 20-25 years, ponderosa pine can reach sizes that will require flame lengths that exceed 2 m to obtain significant mortality. Achieving these flame lengths will require burning under drier weather conditions to allow coarse woody debris (CWD) consumption to contribute to the fire intensity. Alternatively, managers can augment sites with activity fuels to increase fine fuel loadings to achieve flame lengths that will increase sapling susceptibility to fire, while burning when CWD fuel moistures are high to limit the potential for extreme fire behavior. While the flames might kill sapling-sized trees, mature overstory trees could still maintain resiliency to fire.

COLLEGE STATION (October 18, 2012) -- The Southeastern Conference's 2013 football schedule doesn't feature as many changes as previously anticipated.
The SEC released a 2013 slate Thursday that it referred to as a "bridge" schedule not based on any previous or future scheduling formats.
For instance, at the SEC spring meetings, new member Missouri was paired with Arkansas and newcomer Texas A&M was matched with South Carolina as permanent cross-division rivals. Yet the 2013 schedule doesn't have Missouri playing Arkansas or South Carolina facing Texas A&M.
One quirk in the 2013 schedule is that three annual games will be played at the same venue as in 2012: Ole Miss at Alabama, Texas A&M at Ole Miss and Georgia at Auburn.
The 2013 season will last 14 weekends, meaning each school gets two open dates.
The Aggies will start SEC play against 2011 national champion Alabama at Kyle Field on Sept. 14.

The 10-Year Development Battle Over Midway Road
Everybody is tired of fighting about a Midway business park. As it comes to a final vote next week, why is it worth the struggle?
"THE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION had requested that MPC identify potential INDUSTRIAL SITES, which could be developed in the coming twenty years. As a long-range plan, the identification of industrial lands was an appropriate fit for a fifteen-year development. The PROPOSED industrial sites were to be located on the north side of Strawberry Plains Interchange, on the north side Ruggles Ferry Pike at Johnson Road, and on the north and south sides of MIDWAY INTERCHANGE. The PUBLIC was in STRONG OPPOSITION to the proposed development of new industrial sites in the East County sector, outside of Forks of the River."
—p. 39, 2000 East Knox County Sector Plan, Metropolitan Planning Commission
Civic planning documents are not the kinds of texts that people can usually quote from memory, but when it comes to the East Knox County Sector Plan drawn up 10 years ago, Bob Wolfenbarger can come awfully close.
Wolfenbarger, a wiry, bright-eyed former car dealer whose family has been in and around East Knox County for 200 years, was deeply involved in that plan, attending every public meeting, recruiting neighbors to participate, asking questions, offering suggestions. He says he still has all of his calendars from that period, when he was also on a task force for the Nine Counties, One Vision project and heading up a newly formed group called the 8th District Preservation Association (named for the 8th District of Knox County Commission, which covers the still-mostly-rural reaches of East Knox County). If you want to know exactly where or when any meeting happened, or who said what to whom, Wolfenbarger says he can tell you. He is, in short, the kind of civic activist almost guaranteed to give headaches to institutions like The Development Corporation of Knox County.
And that's just what he and his 8th District neighbors did 10 years ago.
The Metropolitan Planning Commission is supposed to update sector plans every five years or so for each quadrant of the county, laying out a broad vision for land use, population growth, commercial development, infrastructure, and environmental protection. Once the plans are adopted by MPC and County Commission, they are hard to change. So if you want to do something like designate agricultural land for industrial use, it helps a lot to get it in the sector plan. As Wolfenbarger remembers it, the East Knox County plan that was put together in the summer of 2000 was nearly complete and headed for its final draft when Ben Kadas, the planner who was leading the effort for MPC, arrived with some unexpected news.
"He said, 'There's going to be a proposal for a business park, an industrial park, at Midway Road,'" Wolfenbarger says, seated in a Starbucks cafe tucked inside the giant Target store on Washington Pike. "We were all flabbergasted. 'How can this happen? How can this be?'"
Up until then, the sector plan had called for continued agricultural zoning around the Midway Road interchange with Interstate 40, except for a strip of highway commercial development right around exit 402. Suddenly, a parcel of up to 800 rural acres sprawling across the interstate was being eyed for industrial use by the Development Corporation, the publicly-funded agency that manages six business parks in Knox County.
To make a long prologue short, Wolfenbarger and his fellow East Knox Countians rallied friends and neighbors, hired a lawyer, and through a sequence of noisy public meetings, threats of litigation, and political missteps on the other side, managed to beat back the business park. When the sector plan went to MPC in December 2000, the land around Midway was still marked for agricultural use, as it had been in every sector plan before.
Now, it's December 2010, and Wolfenbarger and his fellow East Knox Countians once again find themselves battling a proposed business park at Midway Road. At its meeting on Monday, Dec. 13, County Commission is supposed to finally vote on the latest revision to the East Knox County Sector Plan, this time with nearly 400 acres of fields and hills around Midway and Thorngrove Pike marked for "light manufacturing, offices and locally-oriented warehouse/distribution services." MPC approved the plan in February, and since then Commission has repeatedly kicked the can, most recently at the request in September of fledgling Mayor Tim Burchett, who called for two more public hearings on the issue.
The word in September was that neither side was sure it had enough votes on the 11-member Commission to either pass or block the proposal. Heading into next week's meeting, the question is still officially too close to call. Few commissioners have committed themselves publicly. But on all sides of the issue, there is a sense of a sort of fevered exhaustion, a 360-degree siege mentality in which everybody seems to feel somehow victimized, vilified, or misunderstood. Ten years is a long time to fight over a few hundred acres of land. So on the eve of what is either the final or, at least, the next stage of the battle, it is worth asking again why each side thinks this particular fight is so important.
Build Here, Build Now
"The county had funded this," Mike Edwards says, leaning back in a chair in a small conference room across from his office on the second floor of a building on Market Square. It is early on a Monday morning, but the weariness in his voice seems the product of something larger: the repeated efforts he and his colleagues have made over the past few years to explain why they think Knox County needs a business park on Midway Road.
"They said, 'Here's money, go find and develop an industrial park,'" he continues. "We did. The criteria was we needed a minimum of 100 acres, but really, that could be one deal. So when you look at what our competition's sitting there with, we needed as much acreage as we could assemble. We had to have willing sellers. It had to have reasonable topography. It had to be on the interstate, or it had to have close proximity to the interstate."
Edwards is CEO of the combined Chamber/Development Corporation, the so-called Super Chamber, which is essentially a private-public hybrid dedicated to promoting business interests in Knox County and the nearby region. He joined the Chamber in 2001, after the first go-round on Midway, but with the same reality staring him in the face. There is very little land around Knoxville that meets all of those requirements. Midway Road, the only interstate exit in the county with no development around it, remained attractive no matter what the sector plan said.
Of course, there is a reason Midway Road has not gone the same traffic-clogged route as the exits at Strawberry Plains Pike, Cedar Bluff, or Lovell Road. As the 1995 sector plan observed, the area's "steep, rocky topography and lack of sewer services have hindered development."
The fact that the land in question had been slated as agricultural in the sector plan didn't dissuade the Development Corporation from beginning, in 2005, to start quietly picking up options on individual pieces of property. They offered top dollar, promising sellers that if a rezoning to business use were approved, the sale price would reflect the new, higher valuation. (Commercial land off an interstate exit is worth much more than farmland.) With about 380 acres of Midway land in hand, at a cost of just under $10 million, the Corporation believed that all it needed was approval from MPC and County Commission for rezoning. In the summer of 2006, despite renewed protests from local residents, both bodies signed off on the deal.
But there was an unexpected hitch: The aggrieved residents once again hired a lawyer, and this time actually filed a lawsuit, alleging various irregularities in the whole process. And in 2008, to the surprise of the Corporation and the relief of the residents, Chancellor Daryl Fansler threw out the rezoning, on the grounds that it changed the Sector Plan without sufficient reason. Edwards says he believes Fansler's ruling was wrong, and that subsequent similar cases in other counties have gone the other direction, but in any case, the Development Corporation chose not to appeal. Instead, it encouraged MPC to go ahead with its next planned revision of the Sector Plan, and this time to include a proposed business park at Midway Road. After another year-plus of work and more rancorous public meetings, MPC did exactly that, approving the new plan in February.
Since then, the Super Chamber and the East Knox County residents' groups have been lobbying like mad, duking it out in the local media, and looking for votes first on the old County Commission (until it voted over the summer to defer action on the plan) and, since September, on the new 11-member body.
To Edwards and his colleagues, the case for the park is perfectly straightforward: The Development Corporation is supposed to attract new employers to Knox County; new employers of any significant size will need accessible, easily developable land; the Development Corporation now owns some accessible and (they say) easily developable land right off the Midway Road exit.
As for the timing, Edwards says capital that has been frozen during the recession is going to begin thawing. Companies that put plans to move or expand on hold a few years ago are thinking about them again. "These are jobs that are going to be in the United States," Edwards says. "They've had plenty of time to decide if they're going to go overseas. We're not supposed to be out of the recession and back to where we were pre-recession until 2014. If we can have this ready in three years, we will still be in the queue for a whole lot of opportunities."
But that means moving ahead quickly to put in infrastructure, including an on-site wastewater treatment system because there are no sewer lines in the Midway area. Rhonda Rice, the Chamber's executive vice president, says it's hard to even start recruiting for the site until that prep work is done. Potential businesses "want to know that they can be operational within a very short period of time," she says.
That's why, they say, the Chamber and Development Corporation has put so much emphasis on the Midway park. Its priority is evident from a visit to either organization's website, both of which prominently feature pleas for support. (They even came up with a Midway logo, a green, rounded M that seems to be made of rolling hills, presumably to counter opponents' depictions of the proposal as an asphalt nightmare. Edwards also talks about the walking trails and park space that he says would be part of the project.)
The business park advocates are well aware of the arguments and proposals made on the other side, and do their best to dismantle them. First, there is the persistent suggestion that the county already has plenty of available property, either in existing business parks or in former industrial sites that could be reclaimed. Not really, Edwards says. Yes, there is open space at Eastbridge Business Park, but it is eight miles from the interstate and a hard sell to modern prospective tenants. (Edwards also disputes the characterization of that park as a failure; given the county's relatively small investment in it years ago, he says, the businesses and jobs it has attracted over time have more than paid off.) And yes, there are those 70 vacant acres at Hardin Business Park out west, but those are small plots, just four to 19 acres, and were set aside specifically to attract small, high-tech businesses that could draw on the nearby resources of Oak Ridge and the University of Tennessee. It's not a place that the kind of light manufacturing envisioned for Midway would go. (That it has so far failed to attract its target tenants is an obvious thorn in the Development Corporation's paw, and a favorite piece of evidence for its critics. The Corporation attributes the slow start largely to the economy. The park opened in 2008.)
As for reusing industrial brownfields, the Development Corporation says they're already doing that, or trying to. Todd Napier, the agency's executive vice president, pulls out a map from a study done a few years ago by MPC at the Corporation's request. It identifies 31 brownfield sites in the city limits, the kind of urban infill spaces that Chamber skeptics say should be the first priority for development. The problem, Napier says, is that A.) most of them are very small, just a few acres; and B.) they are expensive and problematic to clean up, as was demonstrated by the city's many headaches and missteps in reclaiming the Coster Shop site in North Knoxville.
"There's just not that much out there," Napier says. Still, the Development Corporation actually owns the largest of those sites, 19 acres at the old Brookside Mills on Baxter Avenue, and Napier insists there are active efforts to recruit a tenant for it.
And Rice notes that one of the local success stories of recent years, the opening of a Green Mountain Coffee Roasters plant, was an example of the Chamber's attention to reuse. It went into a vacant building in the Forks of the River Industrial Park.
Still, criticism of the Chamber has turned up a notch in recent weeks after the announcement that Chattanooga had attracted an Amazon distribution center. Coming on the heels of that city's successful recruitment of a Volkswagen plant, it added fuel to skeptics' claims that Knoxville's economic recruiters are behind the curve. Of course, there are plenty of reasons to doubt that Knoxville could have competed for either of those projects—the VW plant is opening in a former industrial site of thousands of acres, of which there is no local equivalent. But Chamber officials say those examples just highlight the need for more developable land here.
"Here's the deal," Edwards says. "We hear, 'The Chamber's trying just to line the pockets of big business.' Really what we're trying to do is keep business healthy here. The more jobs we bring, the more spending, the more you're gonna have in a tax base, the more healthy your school system's going to be. It is about jobs. And we hope companies are successful, we hope they're profitable, otherwise they're not gonna be here. But it is the jobs that are the end game. The barbershop needs this more than the Chamber does."
All About Sprawl
Elaine Clark, to put it mildly, does not believe that any barbershop or much of anybody else needs a business park at Midway Road.
"What is the pressing need for it right now?" asks Clark, who moved to East Knox County in 2001 and is president of a group called the French Broad Preservation Association. "We're coming out of a recession, Knox County has a shortfall in their budget, they're looking at an industry that has had negative growth in the last few years—manufacturing has had negative growth, warehousing and transportation has had negative growth. Those are not sectors of our jobs that are growing right now. So why would we want to be pushing spending $30 million in a dying industry?"
That's a round-up from the estimated $27 million cost of developing the property, including the $10 million already spent. Clark and other opponents of the plan have suggested an alternative, using money they say is available from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the conservation of farmland. They say the county could recoup some of the cost of the initial investment, and then use the money for more productive kinds of economic development. (Edwards was already persona non grata to the anti-business-park groups, but he angered them even more when he told the News Sentinel that the USDA proposal was "one of the lamest ideas they've come up with.")
Beyond the Midway park itself, its opponents suspect that it is primarily an opening move toward the massive development of East Knox County, along the lines of what has happened in Knoxville's western suburbs. Initial discussion of the business park included the possibility of a new sewage treatment plant on the French Broad River, which could have provided the infrastructure for commercial and residential growth. The lack of that infrastructure has been, depending on your point of view, either East Knox County's biggest obstacle or its saving grace. From 1970 to 2009, the total population of Knox County grew from about 276,000 to 435,000, an increase of 58 percent. In the same years, the population of the East Knox County sector rose from about 11,500 to an estimated 13,500, a rise of just 17 percent.
Edwards says the Development Corporation has only about $3 million to spend on water treatment, and a new sewage plant would cost more like $11 million. There are currently no plans for the Knoxville Utilities Board to make that kind of investment, which is why the Midway plan calls for on-site treatment (essentially an industrial septic system). But that does not mollify Clark and her allies.
"It's a three-phase project at Midway," Clark says, and she outlines the scenario she fears: "The first phase gets put in, as a testing area, test ground. They build that first phase, they determine that an on-site sewage treatment is not gonna work. Then all of a sudden a regional sewage treatment plant comes up again. And at that point, Knox County has sunk probably $30 million into it, there's no going back."
Instead, she says, Knox County could protect the land, either through the USDA program or some other conservation plan, and establish a precedent for agricultural preservation.
"That is prime soil that has been there for a very long time," Clark says. "The possibilities that Knox County could capitalize on by saving your prime farmland, your prime soils, as we move into the future and we have to start looking at regional production of food, is of huge significance."
Wolfenbarger shares that concern, along with the skepticism that the business park will work on its own terms. He notes that several other projects have at various times been pushed as crucial to the local economy—the "Orange Route" loop road, a downtown planetarium, even the farmers' market that used to be at the site of the very shopping center that now houses the Starbucks-equipped Target store—and failed without causing widespread damage. He also cites the pricey convention center on Henley Street, once touted as crucial to downtown's revitalization and now widely derided. That's why he says the Chamber's sense of urgency rings false to him.
"It's all about urban sprawl," Wolfenbarger says. "These guys are still pushing a business model that's 30 years old. If you talk to any of these people, they still think it's going to come back. Because it's the only model they know."
Rather than trying to compete with Chattanooga or other cities that have geographic resources Knox County can't match, he says, economic development should be built around Knoxville's strengths: the resources at the University of Tennessee, the proximity to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the commitment to renewable energy that gathered momentum under Mayor Bill Haslam.
Of the Midway park plan, he says, "This didn't make a whole lot of sense in 2000, it made less sense in 2006, and in 2010 it even makes less sense, economically and environmentally. And in 2015, it'll make no sense."
The Final Countdown
Matt Murray disagrees with that assessment, at least in principle. Murray, a professor of economics at the University of Tennessee and associate director of the Center for Business and Economic Research there, is the most prominent outside authority cited in the Development Corporation's pro-business-park literature. With some caveats—"I am not an expert on that particular site"—he says the business park model is still an important part of attracting employers and jobs.
"The counties in East Tennessee need to have business parks to support economic development," he says. "Land is getting increasingly scarce. Zoning and so forth limit where businesses can place their facilities."
He agrees that large-scale manufacturing is in decline in the United States, but says that in its place are many smaller operations of the kind that could cluster in an area the size of the Midway Road property. Businesses of that type tend to like to group together, he says, with one attracting another in a complementary industry. "We do need to accommodate manufacturing and the new models of growth," Murray says.
Looking at things from the other end of the development lens, Renee Hoyos, executive director of the Tennessee Clean Water Network, worries about the environmental impact of a business park in an agricultural setting. She says on-site sewage treatment on an industrial scale is still a relatively untested technology, and she shares local residents' fears of pollution in the groundwater. "People with wells have a right to be concerned if it's a huge facility with a lot of flushes," she says, noting the porous karst that underlies the area. "It's like swiss cheese underground."
But ultimately, the only voices that are going to count next week are those of the 11 county commissioners. They did not debate the issue at all during Monday's monthly workshop, apart from some informational discussion of the USDA conservation program. County Commissioner Dave Wright, who represents the 8th District, made his opposition to the business park clear, but that has long been assumed as a given.
Two votes that will be closely watched are those of Commission Chairman Mike Hammond and Commissioner Ed Shouse, who are the new at-large representatives on the body. Because they are not bound to any particular constituency, they are theoretically charged with taking the best interests of the county as a whole into account. Hammond did not return a call for comment. Shouse says he is still weighing all of the factors. He says he found the two informational meetings last month useful, though he added that there was "a lot of disinformation on both sides." He says he thinks the Development Corporation's claims that the site can produce thousands of jobs is "an exaggeration." On the other hand, he says, "I don't believe it is a conspiracy to bring dozens of subdivisions and a municipal sewer system to East Knox County."
Still, Shouse says he does worry about the impact on the landscape. "Many of us talk about urban sprawl," he says, "and gosh, if this isn't urban sprawl, I haven't seen any. It's going out into a virgin area of the county and developing it."
He says he regrets that whatever decision is made, one side or the other will feel wronged. But he adds something, maybe the only thing, that all of the parties involved might agree with: "No one can say it's been rushed. We've had the time to analyze it and dissect it, and study it, and study it some more."
When Commission convenes for the zoning portion of its meeting at 5 p.m. Monday, the studying will be over.

Dorothy Bohm goes beyond 1960s clichés in super new London show
Dorothy Bohm moved to England aged just 15 in 1939, and went onto become one of the country's most significant photographic figures both through her own work and her role in the foundation of The Photographers Gallery. A new show opening in London tomorrow features some wonderful images of London in the 1960s, a time and place which repetition and cliché have rendered somewhat overdone. But Dorothy's wonderful work goes above and beyond these jaded stereotypes – she is in interested in a city in flux rather than simplistic narrative sweep.
She says: "Almost every area had its own character and I knew I was undertaking a very difficult task. I tried not to be content with just the facade or outward appearance of things. I hoped to penetrate just beyond that, to portray a living London: the people who pursued their daily occupations, walked, talked, ate or relaxed and dressed in the fashions of the time."
Armed with her trusty Rolleiflex camera, she roamed the streets and captured scenes that paradoxically speak to us much more succinctly in their quietude. She also has an eye for the city as a stage, the naturalistic sense of drama sometimes thrown up by everyday life.
Dorothy Bohm: Sixties London is at Proud Chelsea from tomorrow until April 28.

Coaches give nod to Cutcliffe, Duke stars on all-ACC team
Duke coach David Cutcliffe was voted the 2013 ACC Coach of the Year and Blue Devils junior Jamison Crowder was named first-team All-ACC at two different positions by the conference's football head coaches, the league announced on Wednesday.
Offensive guard Laken Tomlinson also earned first-team recognition for Duke, whose 10 first, second or third team selections were tied with Clemson for the second-most behind ACC champion Florida State.
Defensive end Kenny Anunike, linebacker Kelby Brown, cornerback Ross Cockrell and safety Jeremy Cash made the second team from Duke, the Coastal Division champions, and tight end Braxton Deaver, offensive tackle Perry Simmons and punter Will Monday made the third team.
Also Wednesday, Cash was named to the USA Today All-America second team.
Junior tight end Eric Ebron made the first team from North Carolina, while left tackle James Hurst, defensive end Kareem Martin, safety Tré Boston and punt returner Ryan Switzer made the second team. Cornerback Jabari Price received honorable mention.
Cutcliffe, who was earlier named 2013 Walter Camp Foundation National Coach of the Year, became the seventh coach in league history to be named ACC Coach of the Year in consecutive seasons. The Blue Devils' school-record 10 wins in 2013 are as many victories as the program had for the 2000 through 2007 seasons combined prior to Cutcliffe's arrival for the 2008 season.
Crowder broke Duke's single-season receptions and receiving yardage records, totaling an ACC-best 96 catches for 1,197 yards. He also averaged 16 yards per punt return with scoring returns of 76 and 82 yards this season.
Tomlinson anchors an offensive line that allowed Duke to surpass 20 rushing and 20 passing touchdowns in the same season for the first time in school history while surrendering just 16 sacks, the third fewest in the ACC.
Crowder and Tomlinson helped Duke make a bowl game for a second straight year for the first time in program history. The Blue Devils will face Texas A&M in the Chick-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta on New Year's Eve.
Ebron, who will turn pro after UNC faces Cincinnati in the Belk Bowl in Charlotte on Dec. 28, led the Tar Heels in catches (55) and receiving yards (895). Both marks set school records for his position, and he broke the ACC record for receiving yards by a tight end previously held by Maryland's Vernon Davis.
The coaches agreed with the media's picks for all the major conference awards. Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston was voted ACC Player of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year and Offensive Rookie of the Year, Pittsburgh defensive tackle Aaron Donald was named ACC Defensive Player of the Year, and Virginia Tech cornerback Kendall Fuller picked up ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year honors.
Winston was one of three unanimous first-team selections to the All-ACC team along with national rushing leader and fellow Heisman Trophy finalist Andre Williams of Boston College and Clemson wide receiver Sammy Watkins.
Winston received 10 votes for player of the year to four for Williams. Cutcliffe had 11 votes for the coach of the year award and Florida State's Jimbo Fisher had three.
Washington junior Austin Seferian-Jenkins was announced as the 2013 John Mackey Award recipient on Wednesday, beating out juniors Ebron and Florida State's Nick O'Leary for the award that goes to the nation's top tight end.
Seferian-Jenkins, who was named to the Pac-12 second-team by that league's coaches, had 33 receptions for 413 yards and seven touchdowns.
UNC players are not available this week because of final exams, but Ebron posted a response to the news on Twitter.
"It Wasn't Meant To Be," Ebron wrote. "I Will Continue To Grind And Trust God. My Awards Will Come Later In Life."

- Summer Life in Whitley County
Newly-elected Whitley County Commissioner George Schrumpf said that a desire to win, diligent campaigning and a changing political climate made for the ideal conditions for his Tuesday win over Commission Chairman Mike Schrader.
"I think it was just a perfect storm," said Schrumpf, 58, who ousted Schrader 5,438-4,934 for the lone seat up for grabs on the commission.
"It was a combination of things, but the whole Republican thing..."
Schrumpf refers to a nationwide ouster of Democrats in the wake of growing dissent over the economy and the current administration in the White House.
But Schrumpf didn't leave anything to chance.
"I never went into it (the commissioner's race) to lose," said the Big Cedar Lake resident who owns a Fort Wayne business and manages another in Columbia City.
"I did a lot of door-to-door and sent out a lot of mailers," he said.
"The door-to-door was very interesting and I really enjoyed it. But Jim Banks (chairman of the Whitley County Republican Party) told me I should try to hit 3,000 homes. Because of the way things are, everyone wanted to talk. I told Jim it'd take 42 years for me to hit 3,000 homes."
Schrumpf has been a commercial pilot and still flies an ultra-light in his spare time.
He owned his own small plane until about five years ago that he and his wife Lola used for the occasional getaway.
The Schrumpfs have lived in Whitley County about 12 years.
"Whitley County's been very good to us," he said.
"I've got time now to work in county government and sometimes people complain about how things are run but don't do anything about it. Hopefully I can bring a different perspective."
Schrumpf said visibility of the three-man panel will be one of his goals.
"I'd like to make the commissioners available to the people," he said. "I'd like to visit existing businesses in order to develop a good relationship with those businesses."
In addition, Schrumpf, who said he helped found the Allen County Alliance (now called the New Allen Alliance), which promotes economic development in Allen County, said he would bring any economic development expertise he has to commission in order to attract new industry to the county.
"I should be able to add a different look, being a businessman, I have knowledge of how businesses work and budgeting, balancing a budget and working within the confines of that budget."
Schrumpf has high praise for his predecessor and the two men he will join on the commission.
"Mike (Schrader) has done a great job," he said. "Just the Schrader name alone, being sheriff for two terms and serving as the chairman of the commissioners says a lot about him."
Schrumpf will join Commissioners Don Amber and Tom Rethlake on the commission effective Jan. 1.
"I've been around Don Amber and Tom Rethlake and they seem like great people. I'm looking forward to working with them," he said.
The freshman commissioner said that recent cuts in various income taxes designed to help cities and counties conduct business will make his new job a challenge.
"One of the biggest concerns will be reductions in CAGIT (County Adjusted Gross Income Tax) and CEDIT (County Economic Development Income Tax) funds," he said. "We'll be losing about 37 percent. Things like our EMS (Emergency Medical Services) services are going to be a big concern."
According to Schrumpf, the same climate that helped his election will also be one of his biggest challenges in office.
"Everybody is concerned," he said. "A lot of people are without jobs. Even in our county. I thought we were doing pretty well, but there are still a lot of people out of work."
According to the Whitley County Board of Commissioner's regular schedule, Schrumpf should see his first action as a commissioner Jan. 3.

It will be no exaggeration to say that Nigerian specialists or professionals are one of the best in the world. Nigerians have not only studied in all major or leading higher institutions in the world, but their academic performances are outstanding as well. Nigerians in diaspora have distinguished themselves practically in all spheres of human endeavours: academics, medicine, banking, finance, arts, music, law, business,
consulting, journalism, literature, engineering e.t.c Just name the field and you'll definitely find some Nigerians who rank among the best in the world. Nigerian specialists are considered among the best in the
In spite of this, ironically, I'm perturbed by one question. Why do we allow half-backed British, American or other foreign nationals or workers come to
These self-proclaimed 'American experts or gurus' come to
Why can't the federal government or our major industries use the professional services of Nigerians at home or in diaspora? Why don't we understand that practise makes perfect? Why is it difficult for us to understand that by patronising the services of Nigerian specialists, we are not only giving them the opportunity to earn money; which they will definitely spend in
lots of practical experience even for the best western specialists to attain their professional levels? And if they were not patronised, they won't have the practical and rich experience today
I was disgusted to read on one of the Nigerian web sites that Roger Dawson will be visiting
During his stay in
Speaking on his itinerary while in
On June 20, 2006 at
I appreciate and commend the efforts of Mr Kayode Falowo and the management of i-Skill Limited in their quest to improve the negotiation skills of Nigerian professionals and government officials. Undoubtedly, It is a worth while effort. Strong negotiation skills is one of the most important skills for managers, business-men bureaucrats and anybody engaged in any transactions. Unfortunately, you have invited the wrong person.
Believe it or not Mr Falowo, I have read more than 25 books on business negotiations; including Mr Dawson's book, and I have about 20 books on this topic in my personal library. I can tell you with full confidence that Roger Dawson is a mediocre and his book on negotiation is a trash compared to other books in negotiations that I've read or that I have in my personal library. Dawson and many other mediocre and self-proclaimed western experts are just using us to learn, experiment, boost their professional ego and resume, and making a hell lot of money out of us.
Roger's book is a big flop. Infact, the quality is so low that I can't even recommend it to anybody interested in business negotiations to read. I don't know the criteria that i-Skill uses in selecting or inviting western experts, but I can tell you that your audience won't get much from Dawson compared to the enormous fee they've paid for Mr. Dawson's service. Believe me I can't even pay a kobo to attend
The manners of negotiating in
avoid paying fine. If your organization is interested in inviting only western specialists, I can recommend some very good trainers in business negotiations.I remember that not quiet long ago, you invited Covey too to
My only fear is that in the long run, it is the end consumer or the common man on the street that foots the bill of these consultants. Haba, we should have conscience. On a serious note, if you are really patriotic, I want to advise you to give Nigerian specialists a chance. It's high time we had our own experts and
gurus that we can import to
This data base should be available to Nigerian companies for a certain fee. These Nigerians in the data base can always be contacted from time to time to carry out various assignments or consultation projects.Every country has its uniqueness socially, politically, culturally, economically and in the way business is conducted. The Nigerian background and the knowledge of its society give our specialists a big edge over their foreign counterparts. Another advantage Nigerian specialists have over their foreign counterpart is the commitment and the genuine desire to contribute their quota in the development of the country. In addition, in situations where a consultation projects or advisory service are not only of strategic importance involving classified information, undoubtedly, our specialists are the best choice. Giving foreign specialists free and uncontrolled access to our ministers, law makers, bankers, senior government officials, CEOs of our major co-operation could constitute a security threat to the economy. It is a known fact
that many westerners pose as business men, trainers, consultants when in actual fact they are agents of the secret services of their countries.
We live in the age of information technology. The ability to collect, analyse and disseminate information is of strategic importance today. And, many companies in the west are ready to pay substantially for it. At dinner parties where our government may easily loose their guard during conversation with foreign business men or consultants, information of vital importance concerning how to win contracts, tenders or how government key decisions and policies could be easily divulged unknowingly. Such information may cost the country or economy billions of dollars in lost revenues.Western countries and consulting companies have mastered the system of siphoning money from many developing countries by rendering services that are either of very little value or in many cases, could even have negative consequences. One of the bases for this assertion is John Perkin's book titled: ŌĆśThe confession of an economic hit man.' Below is a full excerpt of the book from amazon.com web site.
John Perkins started and stopped writing Confessions of an Economic Hit Man four times over 20 years. He says he was threatened and bribed in an effort to kill the project, but after 9/11 he finally decided to go through with this expose of his former professional life. Perkins, a former chief economist at
intelligence agencies and multinationals cajole and blackmail foreign leaders into serving
Think John Le Carr├®, except it's a true story.
Perkins writes that his economic projections cooked the books Enron-style to convince foreign governments to accept billions of dollars of loans from the World Bank and other institutions to build dams, airports, electric grids, and other infrastructure he knew they couldn't afford. The loans were given on condition that construction and engineering contracts went to
foreign officials, but it was the taxpayers in the foreign countries who had to pay back the loans. When their governments couldn't do so, as was often the case, the
World citizens. While at times he seems a little overly focused on conspiracies, perhaps that's not surprising considering the life he's led. --Alex Roslin --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Perkins spent the 1970s working as an economic planner for an international consulting firm, a job that took him to exotic locales like
The story as presented is implausible to say the least, offering so few details that Perkins often seems paranoid, and the simplistic political analysis doesn't enhance his credibility. Despite the claim that his work left him wracked with guilt, the artless prose is emotionally flat and generally comes across as a personal crisis of conscience blown up to monstrous proportions, casting Perkins as a victim not only of his own neuroses over class and money but of dark forces beyond his control. His claim to have assisted the House of Saud in strengthening its ties to American power brokers may be timely enough to attract some attention, but the yarn he spins is ultimately unconvincing, except perhaps to conspiracy buffs.
John Perkins's book is highly recommended for those who want to know more on this issue
It was reported in the news that the finance ministry employed the service of a foreign consulting firm to negotiate our debts, and paid $100,000 a month for more than 12 months. In my opinion, these consulting companies including the one used by the federal government are parts of the networks; mentioned in Perkin's book, set up by foreign companies to exploit developing countries. Debt reduction negotiations is the prerogative of the finance ministry to carry out on its own.
The ministry should have searched for Nigerians well versed in this field to carry out the assignment. By so doing, these Nigerian specialists will not only be given the opportunity to upgrade or add to their professional experience but, sensitive information concerning the nation's economy will be protected, and most especially, negotiation tactics and strategies to
achieve a desired result will be intact. I have no doubts that in my mind that if the finance ministry had taken its time to search well, she would definitely have found some Nigerians who are well qualified enough to carry out this job. And needless to say that, the job would have been done at a much cheaper rate; and this would have saved enormous amount of the tax payers' money.
There is always the need to carry-out a cost/benefit analysis and security implication for the country before taking any decision. Senior government officials and top managers of our companies need to be trained on how to communicate with foreign companies and specialists in
Finally, there's the need to formulate and implement policies that will ensure that as many jobs as possible go to Nigerians. Multinationals should be prohibited from employing foreign nationals in Nigeria, unless it can be proved beyond any reasonable doubts that there are no Nigerians inside or outside the country that are capable of doing the job.
We should learn to appreciate, value, promote and reward very well Nigerian specialists. Afterall, charity begins at home!

Why do we allow half-backed British, American or other foreign nationals or workers come to Nigeria as 'international consultants' who are hired by the multinationals or in some cases by the Nigerian government, and automatically the status of 'expatriates' is bestowed on them?
Dont you know they use the so called expert as a front to make money? This is another 419 scheme. It is thesame as the so called xtians used by bringing the likes of preacher Bonnke from Germany and Benn (though he got schemed out) from the US.
If Mr Falomo is using public money to fund his friends from America to dabaru us, we need to expose them.
Accusing Mr. Dawson of being a fake without any proof beyond your own personal opinion regarding the extent of his professional skill could be considered defamation. Although this forum is somewhat anonymous and various people offer opinions from all parts of the world, we should still be careful of the statements we make. Some ill considered statements could expose the maker to legal action.
Thanks Okolo,
I was about to point out the same myself but you beat me to it. The author has not made any allegation of fraud or criminality about Dawson; all he alleges is that in his subjective view, Dawson's work is sub-standard.
BigK and SLB, here's a classic case for moderator's discretion.
RE: The manners of negotiating in America, Europe, Asia, Latin America are totally different from that of Africa, and Nigeria in particular. ......
i hope at some point, the nigerian government and nigerians in general will realise the fact that we need to understand ourselves and our peculiar ways of doing things and not just adopt the western standard as the ideal....meanhwile...the errors of spelling and diction in this article,..where they errors of omission or commission?
Can someone please enlighten me on the situation surrounding the fact that the manager in charge of Togo in their world cup match against Korea just sat down (Looking toothless); when his team had been reduced to 10 men and he still had 2 men upfront who were not retreating to help. Was he being impeded from doing his job or was it just another case of the fact that "money do enter pocket already"?
Otito is bitter,
Because the colonial mind of the Togolese power that be cannot trust the African to do well at the world cup but will trust an Oyinbo without a job to do wonder for them.
I wish the Togo players had boycott the team when Keshi was fired. We still have inferiority complass in Africa which is why we cannot do well in world cup. No Africa nation has won any match so far. What a shame.
"Half backed"? Don't you mean half-baked? In the same way that Nigerians don't enjoy being stereotyped as 419-ers, scam artists, corrupt and brutal (Odi, Odioma, Benue massacres all come to mind) is it fair (or is it racist) to suggest that all international consultants are "half backed"? News flash: there are half-baked (and competent) people of all nationalities and persuasions, may friend ...
