A Segment of One
Didit's marketing teams use data to isolate an infinite number of buyer targets into segments of one. We can locate your buyer, assign value, create enticement, track activity, and secure a sale with high-impact messaging that can't be ignored. The Didit formula for success creates the ultimate potential for PPC sales and remarketing opportunities.In addition, our technologies are continually being improved to meet new marketplace challenges as they present themselves. Didit works closely with Google, Bing, Yahoo and other engines on the reinvention of advertising, receiving exclusive access to cutting-edge, invitation-only Beta tests for new program evaluation and assessment. We process over 30 million keywords, make more daily bid decisions than the other major firms combined, and own more hardware than anyone else in the industry. That's the power of Didit.
What is MAPS?
A new Didit audience segmentation technology that we're particularly excited about is Didit MAPS, a groundbreaking way to provide marketers with a choice of dozens of audience factors especially suited to their product or service. These factors are then translated into thousands of perfectly tailored regional markets primed for targeting. This gives marketers the ability to instantly implement strategies that would have normally required decades of data collection and analysis.The analysis of these specific audience traits, such as wealth, age, interests, family size, income, climate, and, of course highest online converters helps Didit create a customized buyer profile that can be geographically pinpointed. That advantage magnifies the value of online spend, and translates into greater click conversions. And because MAPS runs independently from any campaign management system, it can simply plug into any existing search or display campaign with instant results. Didit can even alter or change the MAPS technology on the fly. MAPS is presently offered as a stand alone product, as well as a key component of Didit's full range of services. Read our MAPS Case Study for Corel here.
MAPS has everything you would ask for in audience-targeted software.
SIMPLE — Plug-in operation makes start-up and shutdown instantaneous.FAST —You'll see results happening right away as conversions multiply.CUSTOMIZED — Each region is independent. Bid management and creative are targeted.STEALTHFUL – Your strategy is undetectable.VERSATILE — You can continue to manage your campaigns as usual.FLEXIBLE — As your campaigns change, MAPS will automatically adapt.INEXPENSIVE — More conversions – low per click fee.Find out more about MAPS here.

|Hemodynamics after endoscopic submucosal injection of epinephrine in a porcine model.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22271026 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Background and study aims: Endoscopic submucosal injection of epinephrine may cause systemic effects on the cardiovascular system. The aim of this experimental study was to assess systemic hemodynamic changes after submucosal injection of epinephrine during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in a porcine model.Methods: Measurements were taken from 12 pigs under general anesthesia. During gastroscopy 5 mL of normal saline, and 2.5 mL and 5 mL of epinephrine (1:10 000) were injected into the submucosal layers of the gastric antrum, corpus, and distal esophagus. After each injection, the cardiac index and global end diastolic volume index (GEDVI, reflecting preload) were measured every 3 minutes by transpulmonary thermodilution for a minimum of 12 minutes. The following parameters were also recorded: heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI, reflecting afterload).Results: Significant hemodynamic changes were observed after submucosal injection of epinephrine into the esophagus, including heart rate (maximum + 4 %) and MAP (maximum - 4 %) after injection of 2.5 mL epinephrine, and stronger changes in heart rate (maximum + 13 %), cardiac index (maximum + 21 %), MAP (maximum - 4 %), and SVRI (maximum - 12 %) after the injection of 5 mL epinephrine. After submucosal injection of epinephrine into the gastric antrum and corpus, hemodynamic effects were less evident. Here significant changes were observed in heart rate (maximum + 3 %), MAP (maximum - 2 %), cardiac index (maximum + 7 %), and SVRI (maximum - 8 %) only after the injection of 5 mL epinephrine into the antrum.Conclusion: Endoscopic submucosal injection of epinephrine is associated with changes in systemic hemodynamic parameters, especially when performed in the esophagus, and the procedure might therefore induce harmful side effects.

How much variation do you have in your running effort?
Last week, I was feeling good. I had had two weeks of really solid running, hitting my times, feeling energetic, light on my feet, etc. The Sunday before last, I had a 20 miler and when I finished, wait for it.... I. Felt. GOOD. Clear evidence that I was becoming a superhuman. So, after a host of great midweek runs, last Sunday I set out to run what should be a relatively easy 16 mile run. The weather was nice, I kept my course pretty flat, and it was TORTURE. I stopped and started so many times, and about 10 miles out I even borrowed someone's cell phone to see if I could get picked up, but no one was home. So I toughed it out for another 4 miles and finished at 14.
I took the following day off, and on Tuesday I was supposed to run 5x1M @ 7:00, but I was feeling dead. I thought I'd test the waters with my warm-up run, and it took all my effort to keep moving forward at a 10:45 pace. I stopped after a mile and walked home.
Yesterday went a bit better, I ran 7-8 miles, but it definitely wasn't any type of "workout" run. Not sure how today is going to go, guess I'll have to see. Nonetheless, this all leaves me perplexed. This peak and then bust cycle of training happens a lot to me. I'll have a few good weeks, and then BOOM, one week where my performance suffers massively. It's always pretty sudden, and I keep a log of my training, eating, and activity in general, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what causes it.
I'm supposed to finish this week at 50-55 miles, but I think I'll probably end up being 15 miles short at the least. Which kind of feels like a lot, especially considering that I'm not even sick, just exhausted. It's a real bummer too, because weather has been great, with highs in the low 70's, so it's definitely not the heat that's getting to me.
So loopsters, can you help a girl out? Or at least share some of your stories and commiserate with me?
I know I always have a horrible week when Peg is on PMS...
You are most likely in need of a cutback. Odds are you've just reached the exhaustion stage and your performance is suffering as a result.
Haha! Definitely a good point. Unfortunately I'm pretty irregular and the last time I was aboard the PMS train was in April, or possibly March, so it's hard for me to follow that.
Oh The Emu, that is an awesome screen name, how come I have not seen it before? I am in the same boat as you, damn hormones. But I still agree with Peg and Allison...even with randomness I think they come into play at times.
And sorry but comments on this thread way to funny, laughing here!
That's generally what I think, but in that case the frustrating thing is that I had my cutback week around Aug 9th. I usually train in a cycle with 3 weeks higher mileage, followed by 1 week cutback, and then repeat, so my next cut back week is actually scheduled for next week! If only I could have made it till then... and then after next week I'm basically in taper, so this was my last week to really get in some quality workouts.
I feel ya on the hormones thing. Sometimes I've found taking iron pills is helpful, though you shouldn't do so if your ferritin isn't low to begin with, as too much iron is also not so good.
I think I might just go ahead and assume I am secretly PMSing, take it easy for the week, and increase my dietary intake of chocolate. That cures all ailments.
Is it possible that you are running your recovery runs too fast?
I try to go pretty easy, between a 9 & 10min pace.
Rest and cutback weeks are part of training. It sounds like your body is telling you it needs a break. As for those crappy runs... I think they make the good ones that much better
"Anything that gets your blood racing is probably worth doing" - Hunter S. Thompson
I've yet to figure this out, even though it happens to me all the time. I've just learned to accept these as a part of marathon training. It never happened when I was doing 5Ks.
Attitude is everything
We all have bad days or weeks. Listen to your body and take the rest it needs and adjust the running schedule accordingly. I have no advice on the PMS topic, sorry.
"He who is outside his door has the hardest part of his journey behind him." - Dutch Proverb
Even the great runners have off weeks and sometimes even months. Your body is telling you to give it a break. If you were that close to taper anyway, why not start early and get rested up? You have had good weeks to build all the miles you need, so a little more resting time wouldn't hurt. Good luck.
Run on everyone.....................Steve

It is almost certain that the Mahopac Falls Elementary School will close as a kindergarten-only school this year as the district transitions to all-day kindergarten, officials said.
The students will be assigned to classrooms in the district's three other elementary schools that now house students in grades one to five.

Keeping Horses With Sheep?
Hey guys.
It's been a while, has it not?
I didn't really know where to put this, so I figured this would be the most accurate place to stick this.
Anyway, I just have a silly little question. I googled it, but I didn't really get the answers I was looking for.
Next year I plan to raise and sell a sheep, but I don't own any acreage. I have a neighbor that has a horse pasture across the street for me who would let me use his pasture for free, and I was considering placing my lamb in there.
He currently has four horses in the pasture {which is fairly large, an acre of two} but this could change at any time.
By the time I get my lamb, he very well could have no horses or six. It changes every month or so.
So my question is, could horses and sheep live together in harmony?
I'm only getting one lamb and it will only be a month old when I get it. (I know, sheep are herd animals, but I can only get one.)
There are roofed stables with a food bucket and a water bucket in each. There is an extra one on the end I could keep the lamb in.
The pasture is green and cut to grazing length all year except winter, but I will not have a lamb at this time.
The area is fenced off with wire fencing.
Both up slope and low ground terrain.
Thank you!
It depends on the horses involved. My aunt had an anglo arab mare that was paddocked with the sheep on their property during her retirement. They never lost a lamb while she was alive as she viewed them as her herd and protected them (including once against my uncle lol). On the other side of things I had a mini gelding and know another horse (not mini) that would kill lambs and sheep if paddocked with them. You would have the introduce the lamb carefully to any horse/s they might be paddocked with.
My horses are fine with the sheep but I have known other horses kill them.
Personally I think you are very wrong in having just one lamb, they do far better in groups.
You say that it is fenced with wire - is this the stock netting or plain wire? If it is the latter then it will not keep a lamb in.
Look into the care a lamb needs. Feet trimming, worming, shearing keeping free of fly strike to name a few.
I think that you need more than one lamb if you plan on raising Sheep. Sheep do better in groups.
In answer to you question, it really depends on the horses personality if they will do well with sheep.
I know that you can keep them together since both are herd animals.. However Sheep get copper poisoning . Most salt licks for horses have copper in them and will poison a sheep. You have to be careful. other than that .. go for it.
If I put a little baby lamb in with my horses, I feel certain that they would kill it. You should keep this baby in a stall.

TORONTO — The NHL has given New York Rangers forward Daniel Carcillo an automatic 10-game suspension after he was ejected for physical abuse of officials during the first period of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Carcillo was punished Friday for a "Category II" infraction after he appeared to twice elbow linesman Scott Driscoll, who was trying to keep Carcillo away from a fight Thursday. Carcillo won't be able to return to the New York lineup before Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals, should the Rangers advance past the Montreal Canadiens.
Just 5:51 into Thursday's game, the NHL says "Carcillo physically applied force to linesman Scott Driscoll while being escorted to the penalty box."
A Category II offense is described as an infraction in which a player deliberately applies physical force to an official in any manner, without intent to injure.

London police say they are ready to arrest WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange for breaching his bail conditions and spending the night in the Ecuador embassy while seeking political asylum in that country.
Assange was arrested by the Metropolitan Police Service's Extradition Unit on December 7, 2010 on a warrant issued by Sweden. He is wanted in that country on allegations of rape and sexual molestation. The same day he appeared at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court.
Julian Assange denies all allegations and says extradition to Sweden could in reality mean jail in the United States. The whistleblower is wanted in the US for exposing as many as 250,000 State Department secret cables.
Later the whistleblower was granted bail by the UK High Court. One of the conditions was that he should remain at his bail address at night, between the hours of 10 pm and 8 am. UK police say this condition has now been breached as Assange stayed in the Ecuador embassy Tuesday night and thus is now subject to arrest under the Bail Act.
Julian Assange remains at the Ecuador Embassy in London's Hans Crescent, with Scotland Yard aware of his whereabouts.
As long as Assange stays in the embassy of the small South American country, he is beyond the reach of police. Once he steps outside he can immediately be arrested by the officers stationed outside the Edwardian apartment block that houses the embassy.
Australian citizen Assange, 40, hopes that Ecuador's President Rafael Correa will grant him political asylum after previous messages of support.
Ecuador is believed to be considering his request while holding close consultations with the British authorities..

'poetic radicalism'
Hakes Associates' competition-winning design for a £1.6 million chapel for the London School of Theology comprises a 350-seat chapel, entrance building and link block. Daylight passes through long triangular openings in the facade in order to create a soft, diffused, reflective light within the chapel.
A long T-shaped slot captures the light and casts the outline of a cross across the steeply sloping ceiling.

The blog posts are beautifully created. These are generally cerebral, articulate, plus full of compassion plus humor, that makes them intriguing and unforgettable. They show thoughtful analysis and identify worthwhile resources. It is difficult to believe you suffered a mind injury provided the ability to create so eloquently. I have read the list of all the escapades and interventions you undertook to heal plus rehabilitate your brain. That is amazing in itself.
How long did it take for you to receive back to a reasonable amount of working? What losses did you actually suffer or what did you need to �relearn�? Did you suffer any permanent loss of memory?
I was lately brain damaged during a questionable healthcare procedure plus a year later I feel no better. It frightens me which I have no hope of any healing.
I had additionally been abusing my brain with strain, overwork, bad food, plus small rest before my injury, but did not heed the warnings my body gave me inside the form of diabetes, hypertension, plus fatigue. These illnesses were possibly all connected to lengthy expression antidepressant use which in turn caused severe depression that by increasing toxic treatments culminated inside an ill advised choice to get ECT. I ended up with brain damage plus feel my injuries won�t heal, regardless of what the intervention. I see inside a previous post a reference to hyperbaric oxygen therapy, yet I see a lot of official reports recommending that it must be unproven plus useless except for a some indications like burns or the bends.

Thanks for your write-up. I would also like to say this that the very first thing you will need to perform is determine if you really need repairing credit. To do that you simply must get your hands on a replica of your credit file. That should really not be difficult, because government necessitates that you are allowed to have one no cost copy of your own credit report every year. You just have to request that from the right persons. You can either read the website owned by the Federal Trade Commission as well as contact one of the major credit agencies directly.

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Ajanta New Delhi
The room was clean and spacious although it didn't have any windows. The breakfast of rice and curry was different too our usual choice but was still ok. The roof top bar was very strange, we drank beer from coffee cups too appear we weren't drinking alcohol for the hotel doesn't have a licence for alcohol.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Ajanta New Delhi
Our Delhi trip
During our trip around India I have definately found the Hotel Ajanta the best place to stay. The rooms which are kept very clean and situated , only 2 - 3 minutes from New Delhi Train Station and a 5 minute journey to Connaught Place.
The hotel also has a range of very useful facilities. Travel Agents and money changes are situated inside the hotel and there is an excellent 24 hrs internet service which is the cheapest we have found. Adjoining the hotel is a very decent restaurant that is open most hours and serves a range of India, Chinese and Continental food at excellent prices.
We have also found the staff at reception and the porters all very helpful and would recommend the hotel Ajanta to any travellers to India as we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Pros & Cons
1. Lonely Planet recommended (as painted on door).
2. Booking available through Expedia.
3. Call/email them in advance and they'll send a driver to retrieve you from the airport (save yourself the hassle of beating off the taxi drivers at the airport).
4. Just around the corner (<5 min walk) from the New Delhi train station.
5. Travel services on site (pay them the 100 Rs or whatever to book your train tickets for you and save yourself a potentially huge hassle).
6. Restaurant on site (perfectly adequate for breakfast: french toast, omeletes, etc).
7. Internet cafe on site (broadband connection is pretty good, but don't plan on using Hotmail here or anywhere in India: Yahoo and Gmail work far better).
1. The neighborhood, known as the Paharganj area, is terribly filthy and choked with a potent mix of automobiles, pedestrians, and wandering animals. Mentally prepare yourself (see photos). (Full disclosure: In my case, this was the first place I stayed in the first city I visited on my first trip to India, which is the first and only developing country I have visited. Consider me a travel newbie if you want.)
2. As in so many places in India, the toilet leaked. On the bright side, it leaked towards the drain in the floor under the sink and not across the bathroom.
3. Renovations were underway during my stay. Besides cosmetic work going on in the lobby, the concrete walls surrounding the stairwell's roof access were being dismantled (see photo), presumably to allow for the addition of a new floor (I'm *SURE* they've checked with a structural engineer about load bearing and structural integrity). I don't much care what goes on during the day when I'm out and about, but after 9PM, I'd like for the noise to be limited to sources external to the hotel. Work on this project proceeded day and night. One night, around 3 or 4AM, I was jolted out of my bed by a tremendous crashing sound. A man carrying a large basket of broken concrete on his head had dumped his load down the stairwell (see photo). Another guest and I complained to the night manager who said and did next to nothing but apparently relayed my complaints to the day manager. Upon my return to the hotel the following evening, I found a note slid under the door asking me to meet with the management. Happily, the woman in charge refunded the cost of one night's stay in cash.
4. My room didn't exactly match the photos on Expedia, but the mattress is just as thin as it looks. A room, like mine, that doesn't have an exterior window might be preferable as this will mitigate the street noise and smell. Even better would be a room, unlike mine, that doesn't share a wall with the stairwell.
FYI regarding location: You can walk to Connaught Place (where I ate most of my meals in Delhi), but it takes a good 10-15 minutes. Try not to inhale when you walk past the "public conveniences" (a.k.a. urinals) you'll pass on your way. It's possible to walk to the Red Fort from here, but it's a long, tough hike, and not nearly as easy as walking to India Gate.
This place was servicable for a few nights, but don't set your expectations too high. This place is budget priced. You probably pay a little too much for what you do get, but kudos for the management for doing right by me. Their taking care of my train reservations was a big help, and it was nice to be able to check my email without leaving the building.
Back packer hotel
New Delhi's Ram Nagar, Hotel Ajanta is a clean and safe hotel anyone can afford. We stayed at their room no. 402, it was beautiful.
Also it features a good travel agency which can easily help you through india's difficult moving around.
Check out the RESTAURANT as well.
Perfect hotel with the service
Dear friends,
My wife and i have just returned from India and want to thank you to Hotel ajanta for thier help. We especially appreciated:
1. Hotel Ajanta's very valuable suggestion that i while in USA buy our railway tickets from the indian railways and sent to them, then to be delivered to me after our arrival in the hotel. That arrangement worked perfectly!
2. Their reliable room reservation service.
3. Thier excellent complimentary pickup service when we arrived at Indiar Gandhi International Airport.
4. Thier moderately-priced transfer service from the ajanta to IGI airport for our return to the USA.
5. We are very happy with the 3-day "Golden Triangle" tour. Special thanks to our driver and operator, they are very nice and with very good skills. We had a good time during the 3 days.
6. 24 hour internet is a plus. Keep it up!
Overall, we would say that the entire stay with Hotel Ajanta is a positive experience.
Thanks and regards
Never Suggest Hotel Ajanta in Delhi
I have stayed at Ajanta hotel in Dec 05 and found that the rooms are noisey and awful the building is old and depressing with the staff behavior becaue they are only looking to rip you off with the cleaver schemes they show there are much better hotels in the same are then this hotel and I don't recommend this hotel at all.
Our trip in delhi
Coming to Ajanta Hotel was like a break of fresh air compared to the rest of delhi. the staff are extraordinarily helpful to a level that surpasses some 5 star hotels.
We used the inhouse travel service which on the whole was good value for money and we had an ejhoyable 10 day trip around rajasthan.
ajanta hotel is unique in that the staff are honest with thier prices - there is no need to haggle and we were never left feeling we had been "ripped off". Cafe Vagabond is good value for money and the level of service is comparable to that of the hotel.
All in all we really appreciate the assistance we have been given in all aspects of our stay and we will without doubtrecommend this to any body we know visiting delhi.
Ella Boobyer
Ajanta Hotel
Likes: Reliable hot shower, prompt email communcations, complementary airport/train station pickup, deluxe rooms are spacious, clean hotel, friendly staff, excellent internet cafe. Lots of nightlife nearby. Complementary newspaper. Very close to NDLS train station
Dislikes: Very noisy street (this is hardly avoidable in Delhi). Interior of hotel is also noisy. Staff start at 6 am, noise echos down the hallways. As well, one night from 7pm to 9pm, they were dragging construction rebar to from the ground to the roof up the side of the building. If you are a light sleeper, this may not be the place for you unless you can sleep with earplugs. The first room we had filled up with a gasoline smell in the middle of the night. Management promptly moved us to another room without question.
Neutral: Lost some of our laundry but compensated us. Restaurant safe and tasty but very expensive.
Best Budget Hotel in Delhi
Dear Everybody,
I decided to book my stay in Delhi at Lonely Planet recommended Hotel Ajanta and I passed a good time here. The Airport Pick up service was excellent and also my Agra Trip booked by the agency was very fine.
Room and resaurant were nice and I also appreciated that there is a Internet Cafe provided.
Also thanks to Mr. Avi Arya for the warm welcome.
Claudia Smidt
P.s. I would recommend Hotel Ajanta also to my friends.
Good for money
Hello Everybody,
This is our first time in India, in which we have visited many cities and have stayed in many hotels.
According to the advise of our son who lives in Moayapur, we are staying in Hotel Ajanta, enjoying the excellent level of the recentelly redesigned rooms. Besides, we are very pleased with the staff, who have always been very friendly and helpful with us.
We think that our son recommendations was the best option for us, considering the realtion between price and facilities.
Yours sincerely,
Good value, clean hotel, but dirty neighborhood
Just a few blocks away - and a 7 or 8 minute walk - from New Delhi's main railway station and the famous Pahar Ganj shopping bazaar is a two or three star (can't remember which) pleasant and attractive hotel with very reasonable rates. The hotel has a good restaurant, 24 hour room service, most rooms have color TVs, A/C, modern bathrooms with 24 hour hot water. The hotel management may try to get you to take one of the expensive "deluxe" rooms for over US$50 - do not take it. The regular rooms at 770 Rupees - about US$18 was very clean and comfortable with the above mentioned amenities. Unfortunately the street this hotel is situated is noisy, dirty, full of cheap small hotels and grimy eating places, cows wander around (watch your step!), the pavements are broken and rough .... in other words, a really smelly run down tenement neighborhood. It is not an unsafe neighborhood, however, and if you are a traveller with experience in Third World poor countries (as I am) I can recommend the Hotel Ajanta. If it's your first trip to India, I suggest you spend a hundred dollars a night and stay in a first class hotel in a nicer part of the city.

I am doing one applet in which a JTable displays some of the details and by clicking on each row, a different pop up window (JFrame) appears that contains more details of the record in each row. I found a problem like if we click on the same record more than once that many windows will open. Is there any way to limit the JFrame instance one for each row ?
Re: How Do I limit the Number of Frame instances?

If you want to allow multiple pop ups, max one per record then you may have to maintain (row no. - JFrame object) pairs in some collection. Every time a user clicks a record, check the collection to see if an entry for that particular rows exists in the collection. If it does, use the associated JFrame to show the data. If not, create a new JFrame, put an entry in the collection for that row and the new frame, show the data in the new frame.
If you want to limit the pop ups to one - max. one pop up open at any time:make the JFrame object as a member. Before opening up the JFrame, check if it is already open. If not, open it. If it is open, populate it with the reqd. data.

In order for a project to be efficient, it must be well thought out and carefully executed. Such is the case with Davis Square Streetscape. The follow-up event to the Davis Square Streetscape Kick-Off Tour, Project Charette, was held this past Tuesday at the Tab Building on Holland Street. Members of the community came together once again in the next phase of the process to offer a few suggestions on how the square could be improved. This time, visual maps of Davis Square were implemented to show their concerns.
One of the concerns that the public had was with Highland Ave and the fact that it does not have a bike lane. Many felt that this does not the make for a friendly commute experience for many bikers as vehicles are constantly switching lanes.
Another issue that residents expressed concerns over was a crosswalk light on College Ave. They claimed that its stop and go cycle was too short. As a result, there were concerns that individuals would be more tempted to jaywalk, putting themselves in harms way.
The back of the Davis Square Plaza was also a focus in this meeting. A few people thought that there were ways to improve the area so that both the members of the community and businesses could benefit from it. Some believe that this could be achieved by providing more outside seating as well as shaded areas. In addition, a welcoming sign was thought to be a good way to create a more lively atmosphere.
Residents seem to care about their community and it does not go unnoticed. "Concerns reflect how much people care," insists Sarah Spicer, Senior Transportation Planner.
The city tries to be aware of its resources and wants to make sure that everyone is taken into consideration as they try to make improvements. "This is a dense city," said Sarah Spicer. "We have to be careful on how we use space as it benefits all users."
The next meeting will be in the same location on July 17 at 6:00 p.m.

Yeh Sarah…You bettah make sure your co-workers know the "Heimlich Maneuver. You may need it after this remark you made.
"This is a dense city," said Sarah Spicer. "We have to be careful on how we use space as it benefits all users."
Cause your boss "Lego" only care$ how the developer$ benefit. The Dog n Pony shows are for his picture opportunities.
Let's be frank here. Davis Sq is no longer a very pleasant place to be. It's too dense and chaotic. It used to be nice a few years ago. Now people keep saying it is nice only to justify to themselves the money they wasted buying a place here or the hyper rent they are paying to live nearby. But most people don't really like the Square anymore. That's what you get when a place becomes too popular and overcrowded without an adequate increase in infrastructure capacity.
Ray: It's too dense and chaotic? Many of us like density. It brings out diversity and can create sub-communities and warmth. How is Davis Sq chaotic??
What sort of 'infrastructure capacity' would you add to it? A second subway line?
It may actually be less dense now than it was in the 1930s — old photos show taller buildlings in some places than what you see today.
Thank you Ray, could not have said it better. I used to spend so much time there and wanted to go there, loved the place, now I avoid it even to drive through. I think the last time I did any business there was on the Highland side when we got some takeout at the chinese restaurant. Don't recall the name but it was there for many years. I don't keep so much upstairs anymore.
Ron: I think he means parking. I think some underground parking garages would be very useful. The surface lots are wasted space. Put them underground and build something on top.
Most people don't like Davis Square anymore? Are you kidding? It's one of the coolest places in MA to live. Have you seen the lines at the restaurants and bars, even on random weeknights? That doesn't tell me that most people don't like Davis Square. Maybe you don't like Davis, but most people that choose to live near it do.
Hey, Density, if you like dense, then go to Calcutta!… Davis Sq's days are numbered, my friend. There is a point after which people start realizing a place is just not what it used to be anymore.
Ron, did I say that the infrastructure could be expanded? No, I said that it is inadequate. There is no solution, other than having fewer people around, which is what will happen naturally… I sold my second house there earlier this year because I saw the signs of decline.
"A. Moore" I believe the name was "Yees Village". Went there till it closed. The owner prided himself in his food & kitchen. One time he actually asked us to take a look at his kitchen. It was spotless, so clean.
I go to the square. Dont like the sidewalks, Hope that they get some Bama $$ to replace the bricks. The drug dealers & robbers like the density, it aids there escape. What they should have are buttons in each business, that when activated, allow the police to keep the red signal light on in the subway tunnels so trains wont leave the station & the SPD can go there when these incidents occur and say "Book em Dann[ielle*]o" [*Hey it could be a female officer responding].
All of my senior customers who live in the area do not like it either. They don't care for it and don't go there.anymore. I think it is just mostly a younger generation place now. There is nothing there I would like to even try just from the ads. It's fine, I don't think you can make it suitable for all of us.
Yup, Yees Village. We were more of the Ming Toy generation
Living two blocks from Davis Square, I see no sign that the square is becoming less popular or less busy. Storefronts do not stay vacant very long, with the notable exception of the former Social Security office (which probably needs to be subdivided).
If anything, Davis Square is about to get busier, with the imminent closing of the AMC-Loews Harvard Square movie theatre. Many of the moviegoers will just hop the subway a couple more stops to the Somerville Theatre.
Yes Ron you are right about the idea of subdividing the Soc. Sec. office.
The Somerville Theatre is a jewel in the square, great shows, cultural historic happenings, political debates, and Lego Joe's Dog & Pony Shows.
He could have been a great official if he didn't have that Emperor/Fiefdom (CEO?) opinion of himself. He is a highly paid EMPLOYEE who works for the taxpayers.
(Only politician I know who had his picture in place @ City Hall while still in office) The ? is – was he deprived of Legos or Lincoln Logs in his youth? Maybe that is why he constantly wants to build & put a square peg in a round hole. [City is overcrowded, only 4 sq miles & 47% is tax exempt.]. Course if he really wanted to be a great official he could get Tufts to Pay in Lieu of taxes to the city. See the Administration/Trustees of Tufts are like the people on Wall St. And we all know what Americans think of that bunch.
Ray: I could say the same thing. You don't like density then move to Kansas.
A Moore: I have friends/co-workers in their late 50s and 60s that love Davis Square. Some visit from neighboring towns.
I also agree with Ron.
"Nobody goes there anymore–it's too crowded."
-Yogi Berra
Like I said, younger crowd. Even the older ones are probably not as boring as me.
I agree with Ron, it's going to get busier here. we have more people going to live here and things are changing here. It's good for the businesses, hard enough to get it going as it is. So easy to lose everything you have getting something going. Been there, done that so I know.
Yes, buildings don't stay vacant long, but hasn't anyone else noticed the turnover in some of these buildings? Apparently rents are too high as some businesses turn over quite often. Somerville needs to look at really diverse and vibrant squares like Melrose, where parking is free, and there are actually a variety of retail shops along with the bars and restaurants. I don't call Davis Square diverse at all, I call it boring. Only worth going to if you want to eat or drink (if you can afford the prices). Only McKinnon's still attracts me there. And now that the city has gone over the edge for development $ and allowed the monstrous and hideous building dwarfing the Rosebud, I see it as the beginning of the end. Please don't whine on this site when the Rosebud or Redbones closes shop. It's too bad, it always had a warm neighborhood feel, now I feel like I'm in Allston. Not a good comparison in my opinion.
Good points, Marie. The opposite is happening in Magoun Square…the rents here are too low and businesses come in because it's cheap to try and fail.
"I don't call Davis Square diverse at all, I call it boring."
Well said, Maria. Davis Sq is a fad, and the fad, and the fad is coming to an end. Period. Perhaps Union Sq will be the next Davis? Perhaps Magoun Sq? Difficult to know, but Davis Sq is like the restaurant that USED to be good, before the owners stop caring and before they started taking their customers for granted.
I agree that a wider variety of retail shops would be nice for Davis, but I certainly wouldn't say that no one goes there! It's busier now than I've ever seen it. And the idea of free parking like Melrose would only make the parking situation worse. The parking we have now already frequently fills up much of the time. It would even harder to find a space if it were free!
I agree with Marie and Ray……Davis Square used to be diverse, with shopping, dining, and entertainment. Now, it's mostly bars and a few restaurants that are all vastly overpriced. I rarely go there anymore. It serves mostly out-of-towners looking for a place to eat or drink. The restaurants are doing well but I don't see it doing anything for me or for Somerville. Love the Alston comparison!!

Crew members from Coast Guard Station Cape May transfer two boaters to emergency medical services personnel. / U.S. Coast Guard photo/Lt. Scott Farr
Josh Catlett
Crew members from Coast Guard Station Cape May carry two rescued boaters to emergency medical services personnel waiting on the station's pier Thursday. / U.S. Coast Guard photo/Lt. Scott Farr
CAPE MAY POINT — Editors Note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly identified which rescued crewman was holding on to the capsized boats bow and which was swimming but too numb to grab a life ring. Rescued fisherman Christopher Serra also is from Vineland, not Commercial Township.
A 24-year-old Port Norris waterman is missing after the commercial fishing boat Linda Claire suddenly rolled over early Thursday morning, throwing its three-man crew into the Delaware Bays deadly cold waters about 6 miles off this shore.
Josh Catlett, described as a good kid and avid fisherman, disappeared from view even as crews of nearby fishing boats were pulling his shipmates to safety. The search for Catlett, who is the middle of three brothers, which included U.S. Coast Guard and New Jersey State Police boats and helicopters, was suspended around 8 p.m. Thursday.
Authorities and fishermen said other fishing vessels in the area spotted the capsized boat about 8:30 a.m. The three men appear to have been swimming for about 20 minutes before being spotted. That easily was enough time for them to suffer significant loss of feeling and mobility in the water, however.
Witnesses said crewman Dave Wood, 25, of Commercial Township was clinging to the bow of the 40-foot boat. The crew of the Katherine Brown rescued Wood.
The captain, 27-year-old Chris Serra of Vineland, was rescued from the water. Serra was too numb to grab a life ring that was thrown to him. A crewman on the Sandra Lee out of Cape May Courthouse jumped in the ocean to pull him alongside the boat.
Port Norris fishing boat Captain Bob Bateman, who is Catletts uncle and sometime employer, said his nephew was single and lived with his grandmother. He was a great guy, he said.
Bateman was not on the scene of the accident, which he placed as off of the Brandywine Shoal Lighthouse in about 40-foot-deep waters at the mouth of the Delaware Bay. The area is a popular spot to dredge for conch and crabs, which was what the Linda Claire was there to do. Its also known for a debris-filled bottom.
Bateman said the bays bottom off Cape May Point is littered with sunken boats, lost anchors and other debris. Weve worked there for years, he said.
Bateman monitored radio transmissions all day Thursday and talked with fellow fisherman about what they heard or saw. One eyewitness Bateman talked to was Charles Owens, captain of the Sandra Lee.
I heard a lot of stories, Bateman said of the accident. Seems they hung up on a wreck. They probably turned the vessel to get away from it and it somehow capsized the vessel.
Bateman said a boat moves along at 4 to 6 knots when dredging. If the tow line went taut suddenly, it could bring a boat to a halt and cause it to tilt to one side.
They said they were in the water 20 minutes, he said. Forty-three degrees thats pretty much how long you have before exposure.
Owens, a Cape May Court House resident, said Catlett was visible with Wood and Serra in the water as his boat closed in on the accident.
Owens didnt see the accident but said what happened is consistent with a snagged dredge.
We found them floating in the debris field, he said. We threw a life ring to one guy and he couldnt grab it, so I told one of the kids to jump in.
The fishing vessels Sandra Lee,
Katherine Brown and Alicia Linn, also out of Port Norris and captained by Larry Hickman Jr., were first at the site. Other vessels also arrived quickly, according to authorities and fishermen.
According to the Coast Guard, a crew member of the Katherine Brown radioed an accident report to Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay. Three Coast Guard vessels and a helicopter were dispatched, as were a state police boat and helicopter.
Owens said a call from Hickman alerted him to the capsizing.
He said theres a boat sunk and men in the water, Owens said. I pulled up my dredge and steamed over.
Owens said Hickmans boat tried for Wood but couldnt get him. The Katherine Brown then got him.
Bateman said his nephews boat would have had life preservers and possibly survival suits, but the crew didnt have time to reach them. It seemed this probably happened within seconds, he said.
Owens said he immediately headed toward land with Serra. He met an outgoing Coast Guard boat in the Cape May Canal and transferred him.
At the Coast Guards Philadelphia station, Lt. Eric Leese said the Coast Guard dispatched a 45-foot motorboat and a 25-foot boat to the scene in addition to a helicopter and the 87-foot cutter Finback.
Officials said Wood and Serra were treated and released from a hospital. Investigators did not release many details from their questioning of the men.
Fishermen said the Linda Claires owner is Tim Smith. He was not on board and could not be reached for comment.
State police Lt. Stephen Jones said the capsized boat drifted a considerable distance from the accident site and wasnt located again for several hours. The Coast Guard was notified of the position, he said.
In Cape May, Coast Guard Petty Officer Nick Ameen said the boat was mostly submerged. The Coast Guard does not have the means to recover the boat, he said.

POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Feb 5, 2014
The saga of Edward J. Snowden, the man whose leaked documents revealed the Orwellian dimensions of the National Security Agency, reads like a le Carri novel crossed with something by Kafka -- at least it does in Luke Harding's new book, "The Snowden Files."
A 29-year-old NSA contractor, alarmed by the agency's vast surveillance dragnet, starts secretly collecting hundreds of thousands of classified government documents from his employer and turns them over to journalists, revealing the agency's colossal reach and indiscriminate vacuuming up of information about people's phone calls, emails and contacts.
The revelations not only pull back a curtain on the secretive agency's expanded workings since 9/11, but also unleash an urgent public debate. A debate about the balance between civil liberties and national security; about the scope and protocols of U.S. government surveillance; about the relationship between the NSA and giant Internet and phone companies; about web infrastructure and national sovereignty; and about the meaning of privacy in a world in which Big Brother or Uncle Sam could be listening. Snowden, in the meantime, has become a fugitive, holing up first in Hong Kong and then in Russia -- the world's most wanted man.
Last June, The Guardian newspaper broke the first NSA article based on documents provided by Snowden; it appeared under the byline of the columnist Glenn Greenwald, whom Snowden had reached out to (along with the documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras). Greenwald left the paper last fall to join a new journalistic enterprise, and this Snowden book (by another journalist at The Guardian, Harding) seems timed, with its release this week, to get out ahead of a book by Greenwald scheduled for April publication.
Since Snowden went public days after the first article appeared in The Guardian, he has become a controversial figure, regarded by some as a hero, by others as a traitor. In "The Snowden Files" he emerges in a decidedly sympathetic light, as a protagonist who goes from unassuming geek to world-shaking whistle-blower. But Harding tends to depict his colleagues -- reporters and editors at The Guardian who worked on the Snowden articles -- as the real heroes.
Harding worked on several Snowden-driven articles for The Guardian about Government Communications Headquarters (known as GCHQ, Britain's counterpart to the NSA), but was not part of the team that broke the first Snowden-NSA stories for the paper. His book, which lacks endnotes, breaks little new ground. It relies heavily on The Guardian's reporting, as well as work from other sources, including The Washington Post (which also gained early access to Snowden through the reporter Barton Gellman), The (with which The Guardian has shared some of Snowden's documents), books by the longtime NSA chronicler James Bamford, and various Snowden interviews and profiles in magazines and on the web.
Harding has spun all this material into a fast-paced, almost novelistic narrative that is part bildungsroman and part cinematic thriller, intercut with more Orwellian chapters about operations (with "Man From U.N.C.L.E."-like names including PRISM, TEMPORA, STELLAR WIND, MUSCULAR, BULLRUN, EDGEHILL) run by the NSA or GCHQ.
The portrait he creates of Snowden is a familiar one -- a geek and gamer most at home online, who never graduated from high school but whose "exceptional IT skills" landed him a job with the CIA and later as an NSA contractor.
To flesh out a portrait of Snowden in his earlier years, Harding has drawn heavily on postings that appeared on the Ars Technica website in the first decade of this century under the username TheTrueHOOHA, even though it has not been positively confirmed that Snowden and TheTrueHOOHA are one and the same. Harding chooses to focus on postings that suggest TheTrueHOOHA was a conservative and libertarian -- supportive of Ron Paul, impressed with John McCain and skeptical of Hillary Rodham Clinton -- and at one point, in Harding's words, was opposed to "government officials who leaked classified information to newspapers."
During a stint with the CIA, Harding writes, Snowden appears to have grown increasingly disillusioned with the tactics of the U.S. government. He joined the NSA as a contract employee in 2009; over the next years he said he discovered how far-reaching the NSA's surveillance activities were -- "they are intent on making every conversation and every form of behavior in the world known to them." He also became skeptical of congressional oversight of the agency.
Harding provides some bright digital snapshots of Snowden's time in Hawaii, where he worked as an NSA contractor. He describes Snowden's seemingly idyllic life on Oahu, with his girlfriend, a dancer and photographer named Lindsay Mills. Some of their friends teasingly likened Snowden to the vampire character Edward Cullen in the "Twilight" series because of his pale, solemn appearance, Harding reports. "E," as Mills reportedly called him, occasionally made an appearance in her photos online, Harding writes, but his face was routinely concealed.
Tension builds as Snowden settles on a plan -- to leak top-secret stolen documents to journalists interested in civil liberties -- that, Harding writes portentously, would "almost certainly" result in his "incarceration for a very long time and possibly for the rest of his life." And there is more suspense as Snowden engineers a high-risk rendezvous with Greenwald, Poitras and The Guardian's veteran Washington correspondent Ewen MacAskill in a Hong Kong hotel room. There, the journalists vet their source, and Snowden begins to talk them through the trove of incredibly complex and technical NSA material -- all while anxiously fearing a knock at the door.
Harding gives us a spy-novel-like sense of the tradecraft that Snowden and the journalists used, from encryption to old-school huggermugger meetings, but some mysterious gaps in the Hong Kong-to-Moscow story line remain. Of the period in Hong Kong after Snowden left that hotel, Harding writes vaguely that Snowden "went underground" with the help of a "mystery guardian angel" -- "a well-connected Hong Kong resident" -- who seems to have found him a place to stay with a friend. At one point, he writes, Poitras called MacAskill with the alarming news that Snowden had sent a message saying he was in danger. Hours later, a lawyer phoned back to say Snowden was OK. "The details were hazy," Harding writes, "but it appeared Snowden had survived a close call."
As for Snowden's ability to protect his information while living in Moscow, Harding writes: "Snowden was extremely good at digital self-defense. When he was employed by the CIA and NSA, one of his jobs was to teach U.S. national security officials and CIA employees how to protect their data in high-threat digital environments." Paradoxically, he adds, Snowden now "found himself in precisely the kind of hostile environment he had lectured on, surrounded by agents from a foreign intelligence agency."
After The Guardian published its first scoops, there was a surreal scene in which, Harding reports, two men from GCHQ, "Ian" and "Chris" -- called "the hobbits" by staff members at The Guardian -- arrived at the newspaper's London office to oversee the destruction of Snowden data, directing the demolition of computer parts with power tools and a data-erasing device. According to a November 2013 article by The Guardian's editor, Alan Rusbridger, in The New York Review of Books, British government officials insisted on this destruction, despite explanations from The Guardian that such efforts were fruitless because copies of the Snowden material by then existed in other countries.
Harding -- the author with David Leigh of "WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange's War on Secrecy" -- spends considerable space in these pages chronicling goings-on within The Guardian's offices in London and New York, and explains the legal difficulties British journalists face without the sort of protections provided by the U.S. Constitution. Unfortunately, such discussions of the trans-Atlantic differences in journalism occasionally devolve into parochial and dubious boasts of British superiority, with Harding going so far as to assert that U.S. newspapers "pursue leads at a leisurely, even gentlemanly pace," and that the U.S. news media generally act "deferential towards the president."
Portions of "The Snowden Files" seem particularly aimed at a British audience, focusing at length on the surveillance activities of the GCHQ and its eager-to-please relationship with its wealthy U.S. counterpart. But the book still gives readers who have not been following the Snowden story closely a succinct overview of the momentous events of the past year.
And if it leans toward dramatizing everything in thrillerlike terms, the book also manages to leave readers with an acute understanding of the serious issues involved: the NSA's surveillance activities and voluminous collection of data, and the consequences that this sifting of bigger and bigger haystacks for tiny needles has had on the public and its right to privacy.

I know this is so cliche', but it is so true!! If you want to be a runner, then go out and pretend you are a runner! Even if you can only run a few steps... just pretend during those few paces that you are a runner! Soon enough, you'll be running further than you ever thought you could!! Maybe you'll even become a runner! I know this works, I've spent the past 6 months "faking it" and now I'm ready to run my first half marathon in about 2 weeks. I've made it!!
If you don't feel like working out fake like you do until you get down there and actually feel like it. If you don't feel like being happy smile and fake it until your are laughing and actually happy.
I fake like I am an expert at any exercise and talk myself through the session.
If you fake having a positive outlook your real attitude will follow suit.

Construction work is in full swing at Ignition Park in South Bend. Here are the latest photos showing park infrastructure and the construction of Data Realty, the park's first tenant.
After receiving an Ignition Park master plan, the Redevelopment Commission on Dec. 13 authorized a design and visioning process for an iconic accelerator building at the heart of Ignition Park to house early-stage, advanced-technology businesses as tenants.
The South Bend Redevelopment Commission also approved a study of the feasibility and financial viability of a renewable energy center featuring combined cooling, heating and electric power for all facilities in the technology park. The study will also examine various ownership options for the energy center, including co-ops or public-private partnerships.
BSA LifeStructures, which recently completed Ignition Park's master plan, is authorized to conduct the energy center feasibility study, as well as to "lead a visioning and building imagery development process" for the accelerator building.
"Ignition Park's competitive advantage when compared with other locations is its availability of robust, reliable, redundant and low-cost electric power. An energy center would safeguard that asset and provide potential tenants with a measurable value over other locations," said former Mayor Stephen J. Luecke. "By moving forward on conceptual designs for an accelerator building, Ignition Park can be well-positioned to respond to the needs of growing businesses or new startups for a good environment in which to grow."
Ignition Park, located on the grounds of the legendary Studebaker Corp., was designated with 83 acres in 2009 as part of the first dual-site Indiana Certified Technology Park, along with the 12-acre Innovation Park at Notre Dame. Ignition Park is being expanded by City planners to incorporate as many as 140 acres of developable land near downtown South Bend.
"The City of South Bend is moving ahead with developing the technology park even as we are completing the demolition of obsolete Studebaker buildings and brownfield remediation on site," Luecke said. "Ignition Park points us to our promising future – a future rooted in entrepreneurship, technology, scientific research and other innovations that are powering the new economy in South Bend."
Data Realty LLC is beginning site-development work for the construction of a 54,000-square-foot data center in the southeast section of Ignition Park, near Transpo's operations center, the nation's first LEED Platinum-certified transit facility.
According to the Ignition Park master plan, the accelerator building would be located in a central traffic circle of the park, in alignment with a north entrance from Sample Street and behind a reflecting pool for storm-water retention, and a green gathering space with solar trees and wind spires.
"This central focal point of Ignition Park defines the hub of the park, and the accelerator building, by its nature and location, could end up being the most dynamic and expressive building in the park," said Geri Hathaway, Ignition Park director. "We are seeking an iconic building that would show a commitment by the City to Ignition Park's aesthetic direction and signal the level of quality of the park's environment."
In a presentation to the Redevelopment Commission, BSA LifeStructures demonstrated how the master plan for Ignition Park provides for an innovative infrastructure that will help spark business recruitment and national interest while incorporating sustainable, green components for the technology park.
"This master plan provides for efficient transit into and through the park from our major roads, while creating engaging vistas which include visual manifestation of the City's commitment to respect our environment while protecting and enhancing the redundant power and its controlled cost for our tenants into the future," Hathaway said.
The Redevelopment Commission previously has authorized design work to provide road access and utilities to the Data Realty site as well as the preparation of additional design development documents for Ignition Park's existing 83 acres.
Ignition Park seeks to attract a variety of innovative companies, especially high-tech and data-related businesses. Some ventures under development at Innovation Park at Notre Dame are expected to put down roots and grow at Ignition Park.
Ignition Park is generally bounded by Sample Street on the north, Lafayette Boulevard on the east, Indiana Avenue on the south and Chapin Street/Prairie Avenue on the west.
