1914 results
Status: Mostly finals, but in good date order. Need to add info from Little's books on Lenglen and Chambers. Covered the NYT from Jan 1 to Mar 22.
Dorothea Lambert Chambers claims her record 7th Wimbledon. She dominates the year, going undefeated. In her trip to France she beats young teen Suzanne Lenglen, the ingenue of the year.
The French ingenue wins the World Hard Court Championships in the spring. Rumors abounded that she would go on to Wimbledon to challenge Chambers, but Papa Lenglen held her back.
The drop shot was one of Chambers' deadliest shots. She discusses it here: http://www.tennisforum.com/showpost....7&postcount=59
A deadly curtain draws down on Europe in Augusy of 1914. Regular tennis events for the most part cease until 1919. Only then will Chambers and Lenglen meet at Wimbledon. Lenglen will practice in the serenity of southern France, but most women will not hit a ball again until 1919. Rubber becomes a material for war rather than bouncing balls. American Elizabeth Ryan is in Russia when war alarms sound. She makes a dramatic escape on the last train from Russia into Germany. She had to sell all her possessions along the way as bribes except her trophy as Russian champion of 1914.
Durinf the so-called Great War Chambers plays war exhibitions for the Red Cross.
Dorothea Lambert Chambers record:
Wins all 8 singles events entered. (Monte Carlo, Mentone, Nice, Surbiton, Chiswick Park, Northern Chmps, Wimbledon, Buckingham Chmps)
Wins 2 doubles titles
Wins 2 mixed titles
Suzanne Lenglen's record for 1914 is:
Won 6 of 11 tournaments entered
26-3 match record, and 2 defaults
Won 1 of 4 events entered
5-3 Match record.
Mixed Doubles
Won 6 of 12 events entered (* One event divided-I have counted it as a won event)
26-5 match record, 1 default, and 1 unplayed match.
Many contribututions come from Newmark's 1914 thread found at:
Thanks also to Austinrunner, The Computer and Jimbo for many contributions.

The opening day was busy, with the first 2 rounds being contested in the singles as the armoury was reserved for military purposes on March 15th.
The final was close until the end, when Wagner ran off five straight games. Mrs Beard repeatedly passed Wagner when she stormed the net in the middle set.
In the doubles Weaver was at net while the other 3 kept to what the New York Times called "the long court game." Cassel and Weaver won the last set from 3-4 down.

Nairobi Night's Watch
As the night gathers, Nairobi looks like the picture you can see…….bathed in the colour of dreams……grey-blue shadows at dusk…….an unreal time when everything seems possible and yet…….a moment later the darkness comes and the night's watch begins………
Every city has its rhythms and although I have lived in many cities around the world, Nairobi is now one of my favourite places because it has that rough edge to it's finery, an unpredictable, hectic and often mysterious rhythm that I recognise in Lagos or New York and Brixton in London before it became a bourgeois enclave. But it takes some time to get used to, and for some of us who lead such cloistered lives, the mystery of the city remains.
Five years ago I lived on a popular street in Kilimani, which looks very middle class by day…..but as the darkness sets in, street girls would gather by the roadside, sometimes so many that I began to ask friends to help me understand what was happening and advise whether I should move out of the area entirely. I got a few vague answers like….."It's the politicians that rented apartments at the end of the road, the girls are waiting for them." This turned out to be partially true, but I still sensed that there was more to this dynamic than meets the eye.
Night Walkers – And now my watch begins
The girls were not on the streets every night, sometimes they would disappear for months, so why was there such a fluctuation in trade if there was a constant market of politicians ready and willing to pay for sex everyday? This triggered me to start keeping my own "night's watch", getting used to particular faces taking turns at different times, but still I never found out the reason for the unpredictable rhythm of the street girls.
I lived in Kilimani for a year, becoming more and more curious about the social, economic and cultural dynamics that governed this unknown world at my doorstep.
There's a visible difference between prostitutes on the streets of Nairobi and those that I had seen in London, New York, Lagos, Accra etc. On this side of Nairobi anyway, towards Hurlingham, the girls look like sexy secretaries or naughty "girls next door", not hard-edged street walkers like those on Koinange Street. This fascinates me……what kind of a guy picks up a girl that looks this ordinary? Is there a difference in the Kenyan psyche that does not want to use the classic differentiations deliberate unconsciousness, a determined denial that they are engaged in a salacious transaction, so they pick a girl who does not look too obviously like a prostitute? I remember joking to my friends "…these girls are really not serious about their business at all, they are not trying hard enough, what type of hooker refuses to dress the part?"
Night Crawlers – Back to the Street
I didn't know the answer to these questions, but my interest was recently rekindled again by three things: 1. This picture of Nairobi at night; 2. I am preparing for a panel discussion at the Zanzibar Literary festival in August, where I will be speaking alongside Shereen El Feki, who wrote the award winning book "Sex and the Citadel" exploring a brisk history of sex in the Arab world from the 10th century until modern day. 3. The fact that when I returned to Nairobi last year, I chose to live in an apartment on the same street and so I eventually found out the reason for the erratic rhythm of the hookers on the street.
One of the reasons is that there has been a brothel situated at the end of the road for the last 20years or more. It's practically an institution now, frequented by generations of men, some of whom I know, respectable bankers and lawyers, happily married or otherwise, who claim to have been taken there only for stag nights or special "bachelors outing". They mostly viewed it as a place for fairly "safe" fun. Interesting……so it would seem that these girls only come out to the roadside when business is very bad and they need to entice new clients or remind the old ones that they still have a haven at the end of the road.
Night Stalkers – Research on the History of Prostitution in Nairobi
I recently began reading background texts for the my role on the panel for the Zanzibar Literary Festival, which is to bring East and West African perspectives into the conversation about Women in Africa, I also begun to look a little more closely at stories that chronicle life in the dark underbelly of Nairobi nightlife. Another writer invited to the festival this year, Boniface Gachugu, has written a very apt article that captures the shifts in the ways that the night moves in the city called "Nairobi Nights":
"By 9.30pm most family-minded folks would have reached their homes or were on board vehicles. The city was thus left out for the normal end-month night patrons, cocktail binges and usual night gigs, night-out parties, the casual mixture of call girls, night-crawlers, night-runners, night-revelers, night-club hoppers and night patrollers.
All had started swimming into and within the streets towards different directions. In a short period of time, the city would thus be roaming with qualified and unqualified merry and misery makers."
Nairobi is a city where people like to enjoy themselves and that gives a nice natural energy this thriving city. Whilst many people live oblivious to the parallel lives around them, it reality does not take much digging to find out more about "the oldest profession", one which it seems also helped to fund much of the physical infrastructure in the city today. The book "The Comforts of Home: Prostitution in Colonial Nairobi" by Luise White, shares some accounts on this, of women entreprenuers who owned brothels and acquired property situated at the very heart of the urban centres, women whose profit from what is seen as "immoral earnings" actually helped to build the city of Nairobi.
"From its earliest years Nairobi had a special relationship to people in the countryside who were trying to recoup their loses. Unlike other capitals in settler societies, Nairobi had no industrial base – the wealth of Kenya was kept in the agricultural sector – hence no need for a permanent labor force. While the British colonialists sought to make the capital a city of male migrants, the permanent African population clustered in the service sector: servants, prostitutes, and householders.
Indeed, prostitutes often became landlords and many landlords were prostitutes: this was not because illicit and respectable roles were indistinct in cities in British colonial Africa, but because women, in the absence of formal employment opportunities, earned the money with which to acquire property through prostitution, and landlords, however rapacious their rents, had a degree of legitimacy because of the years they had spent in these communities, as good neighbours, and valuable, peace-keeping tenants.
The illicit often supported the respectable. There were no pimps at any time in Kenya's history, so that prostitutes were able to retain control over their earnings – when they so desired – and have intimate and stable relations with laboring men who were their customers"
Night Watchers -The Life of a Prostitute in Modern Day Nairobi
This is hardly surprising and is probably true of many cities, but our fascination about how people engage with the world of prostitution remains even in this digital age. There was a very famous blog called Nairobi Nights which ran for 10 years by a prostitute named Sue that told of her "episodes" on the streets, a very well written and insightful commentary from a "professional" in her own voice. The part that touched me most is how she describes the desperation that sets in as the night edges into dawn.
"The duration between 3.45am and 5am in the morning is one of desperation. If a man hasn't picked you by the time, then some despair sets in. That does not mean a girl cannot be picked within those hours, she can, but the quality of men who visit the street at that hour is not the best. Most have been partying all night long, are drunk, demanding and hard to negotiate with. The sober ones are likely to be with emotional problems and rather unpredictable. If there be a serial killer hour, then that is."
A nice summary about the impact of her narrative is contained in the link above.
"Nairobi Nights was a sort of object, now preserved in amber online. It enabled fevered projections and speculations from alarmed Kenyan theists and amused cosmopolites alike. I can't imagine a better way to show up the Kenyan culture of sex, or to show off the digital spotlight now shining on Africa. Nairobi Nights was, for a time, the perfect means to give the world something that we didn't know—or couldn't admit—we wanted.
So after a total of 10 years on the streets and a year online, Sue is out. Despite the thrill of web fame, and the release of telling tales she could never reveal in person, she wouldn't recommend her choices. "There are much easier ways to make money, if it's about the money," she says, matter-of-factly. "But there are also easier ways to build a confident and positive sexual culture that I don't think we are encouraging in our culture. There are ways of being sexual without being an object."
In conclusion, I guess some things don't change easily, the mystery remains only if you fail to embrace the complexity of human interactions in the diverse melting pot of a growing urban metropolis. Luise White surmised in her book that:
"Nairobi prostitutes described a world of hard work and opportunity in which prostitution was not evidence of social pathology or moral decay or male dominance, but a complex relationship between men and women and their respective families."

VINELAND — The state on Friday announced the long-anticipated, yet often-delayed, Middle School No. 2 project is back on the books.
The School Development Authority approved the Vineland school and four others across New Jersey on Jan. 2. The projects, valued at about $250 million total, officially became part of the SDAs Capital Portfolio last week after a gubernatorial veto period expired.
The approvals were announced Friday afternoon.
Wayne Weaver, executive director of facilities for Vineland Public Schools, said Friday officials had been expecting the announcement since the boards approval earlier this month.
The Vineland project was green-lighted to address overcrowding issues, the state said in a news release.
The four other projects in East Orange, Irvington, Pemberton and Plainfield are meant to address deficiencies with current facilities, the state said.
Middle School No. 2 has been an on-again, off-again project for several years. In late 2009, Vineland officials were preparing to award a bid for the school and talking about a June 2011 opening. But the state halted the project before the contract could be awarded because of technical issues with the plans. The process never restarted.
Right before Gov. (Chris) Christie took office, we were out to bid on the school. But, when he came in that first term, he decided to stop all construction to re-evaluate, Weaver said.
That took the school off the funding list, but district officials have always felt confident the state would recognize the need for a new facility and approve the new school, Weaver said.
Weve certainly shown the need is there and, in fact, we just submitted a new demographic study showing that, he said.
The district plans to build the school on state-owned land on South Lincoln Avenue near Butler Avenue. Plans at one point called for a 103,868-square-foot, two-story school.
Weaver said Friday the project likely will come in close to those specifications and could cost about $25 million to $27 million to build.
Long-range plans call for the district to add the new middle school and reconfigure Rossi Intermediate School as an elementary school, he said.
The new school also plays into the districts overall plans for easing crowding at schools across the city.
It certainly becomes a major domino effect when we do something like this, Weaver said. There are a lot of other changes that happen.
There is no timeline for construction yet, but Weaver said getting through the entire design, bidding and approval process could take 18 to 24 months. Construction could begin after that, if all goes well.
Were waiting for a meeting to get up to Trenton and talk to the SDA about what we really need and what they want, Weaver said.

Coin-op released in 1986 by Capcom, ported to the NES in 1988 by Capcom as well.
Other platforms: None
Prequels/sequels/spinoffs: None.
Fire your primary weapon as fast as possible since just about all the enemies take more than one hit to destroy. Bomb all of the base cannons since they create a "bullet hell" environment. And most importantly go down into the underground levels by flying into the gray colored swirls expelled by certain objects, i.e. the huge head and at least one of the land based batteries. The "head" bonus level will give you a few different enemies to kill and a minor boss battle at the end. The subterranean level found by destroying one of the small gun turrets reveals a treasure trove of goodies.

MWSF: Xsilva's Lightspeed point-of-sale system
updated 05:45 pm EST, Mon January 21, 2008
Xsilva Lightspeed at MWSF
Montreal-based Xsilva Systems demonstrated LightSpeed 2.5 at Macworld Expo this past week, showing users how the software works with touchscreen computers. CEO Dax Dasilva guided MacNN through the workings of LightSpeed, pointing out the iPhone-like functionality of Cover Flow integration. Users can browse through products or customers using Cover Flow, giving retailers a visual overview of their database. Licensing for LightSpeed 2 starts at $750, and is available through Xsilva's online store.
The "Parking" section on the right of LightSpeed's main window allows users to stow and retrieve products, customers, as well as a number of other different elements. This gives sales staff the opportunity to easily juggle multiple items during the decision making part of a sale, making quotes and sales simple to modify at the customer's whim.
Smart Finds allow users to locate very specific information quickly, by taking multiple criteria to narrow down search options. LightSpeed can also call up information on related products, such as cases or accessories for a particular iPod, filtering out duplicates or already-chosen items for a clean interface.
Moving through to the point-of-sale front-end, the interface spins around using Apple Core Graphics services. Detailed customer information is visible, including pictures of the individual, as well as a final list of what products they are walking away with. The right-hand pane shows product pictures and information for the selected line item, with a button for checkout located underneath it. Checking out causes the center pane to spin around, revealing a number of different payment methods
Managers are able to keep tabs on business operations through their iPhone, by calling up a web-app that shows information on sales, staff, and more. iStats - recently featured on Apple's iPhone apps page - requires a web host and FTP account to function, and will update statistics based on a set interval.
LightSpeed's multi-store stock transfers allow larger store chains to manage product allocation, as well as generate reports that can be used with accounting software, such as MYOB or QuickBooks. Lightspeed also integrates with other business software, such as Marketcircle's Daylite planning software.

Despite population growth in Windsor, a home-rule charter written in 1983 specifies that it shall be called a town not a city. / Erin Udell/The Beacon
How much has Windsor grown?
Town population by the year:
1960: 1,509
1970: 1,564
1980: 4,277
1990: 5,062
2000: 9,896
2010: 18,644
Population projections:
2015: 21,935
2020: 24,218
2025: 26,739
2030: 29,522
Source: Town of WindsorCommunity Profile
Several years ago, Windsor was another sleepy little northern Colorado town. There was no King Soopers or Safeway no developments of single-family homes lining country roads or fast food restaurants perched on Main Street.
A lot has changed since then, as Windsor has grown into more than just a bedroom community and gateway to larger nearby cities. More homes are being built, and more people are calling Windsor home.
But, as the population spikes and businesses open, there is one thing that wont be changing anytime soon. No matter the number of residents, the town of Windsor will remain just that: a town.
Thats because in 1983, the home-rule charter was written to specify that the town of Windsor shall remain and continue under the same name and with same boundaries until residents get back together and decide otherwise.
That means no matter the population growth, Windsor wont become the city of Windsor unless explicitly changed in the charter.
Windsor was more of a town than a city at that time, Town Manager Kelly Arnold said, adding that in 2005 another group of citizens put together Vision 2025, a document expressing what they want Windsors future to look like.
Within that document, the word town is used a lot and the theme was to maintain a small-town feel, while providing large city amenities, Arnold said. The theme has always been about maintaining that small-town or hometown feeling.
The towns 2006 Update of the 2002 Comprehensive Plan stated, Windsors vision for the future is to remain a friendly, attractive community where the future embraces the past; where families and individuals of all age groups have the opportunity to make Windsor their home; where children are educated for adulthood and where livable communities are mixed with healthy economic development.
According to the Windsor Community Profile, the town population really started exploding around the early 2000s. The population grew from 5,062 in 1990 to 9,896 in 2000. It nearly doubled again from 2000 to 2010, when it grew to 18,644.
Now, Arnold said, there are about 21,000 people living in town about the same size as the undergraduate population at Colorado State University in nearby Fort Collins.
Janice Glines, a lifelong Windsor resident, said she remembers growing up in town when the population was a mere fraction of what it is now.
There were 1,200 people (in town), and I remember being able to walk down every block and knowing everybody I ran into, Glines said.
I think people still have that small-town mentality, she said. There are a lot of people I talk to who move here, and they like it because of that feeling people are friendly, and they care for their neighbors here.
There still isnt a place I go without recognizing at least one person, she said.
According to projections in the community profile, the towns population is expected to be 29,522 in 2030, less than 20 years from now.
In terms of when towns usually change their name to city, Arnold said thats dependent on the town, calling it a value question and debate for the community.
(For Windsor) it would take the home-rule charter to be changed. They (residents) could petition the Town Board and ask that the term be put to a vote and be changed. And if the Town Board was so interested they would set it for an election, Arnold said, adding he hasnt met many residents interested in changing the charter.
I think certainly there is some connection to the term town, Arnold said.
Windsor has had its roots for many years as a town, and I dont think we want to be known as a suburb, I think we want to be represented as an independent town that provides a certain quality of life for everyone who lives here.

Find Your State
Now that the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of marriage equality, state and local officials can and should stop enforcing their marriage bans immediately. But it is possible that officials in some places may not start allowing couples to marry until the federal courts issue orders directly prohibiting them from enforcing their state or territory's marriage ban. Federal lawsuits have been brought in all states that continue to enforce their marriage bans as well as in Puerto Rico, and we expect attorneys in those cases to promptly ask the courts to issue injunctions or to take other steps now that the Supreme Court has ruled. We know from experience, however, that this process can take a different amount of time in each jurisdiction depending on how quickly the courts move and how much government officials attempt to drag out the process. The process could be resolved as quickly as within a matter of days or it could take a bit longer depending on the particular jurisdiction.
All government employees are protected by the U.S. Constitution against irrational discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. In addition, some measure of protection already exists under Title VII based on gender, which has been held to include gender identity and expression.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and several courts have interpreted Title VII to protect transgender employees, and the EEOC has interpreted Title VII to cover sexual orientation discrimination. The Supreme Court has held that the EEOC's interpretations of Title VII are entitled to "great deference."

The annual celebration of Charles Darwin's birthday at the University of Wisconsin-Madison will showcase the evolutionary expressions of sex and reproduction in the natural world.
"Some fascinating examples of evolution can be seen in mating behavior," says Alison Scott, the event organizer," and people have always been interested in understanding how males and females get together."
The keynote lecture at Darwin Day 2013 — "The Mating Game: Reproductive Evolution in the Natural World" — will focus on a bird that moves its wings faster than a hummingbird to serenade females.
"Many male birds sing and use showy feather displays to attract mates," says Scott, a graduate student in botany, "but here's a bird using its feathers to make music. This is the equivalent of putting on a Barry White album to set the mood, and an evolutionary case study in seduction."
The weekend event, organized by the J. F. Crow Institute for the Study of Evolution, starts Thursday, Feb. 14 on the UW-Madison campus and is free and open to the public. Activities include:
- Teacher workshop, focused on integrating evolutionary concepts into science curriculum: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 14. Registration required (see website below).
- Need a Valentine's Day date with an evolutionary emphasis? "Love and sex in the natural world," is a series of short films: 7 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 14, at Union South's Marquee theater, 1308 W. Dayton St.
- "Evolution revealed: How to evolve a seductive musical instrument from feathers," by Kim Bostwick of Cornell University: 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 15, at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery, 330 N. Orchard St.
- "The most repulsive tree. The most remarkable fertilization system," with Chris Smith of Willamette University: 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 16 at Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery.
- "Dolphin pelvic bones evolve in response to sexual selection," presented by Matthew Dean of the University of Southern California: noon, Saturday, Feb. 16 at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery.
- Tree of Life Scavenger Hunt, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 16 at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery. This interactive activity enables families to explore the incredible biodiversity of our living planet. Children will receive a prize for completing the hunt.
Darwin Day 2013 is presented in partnership with the Wisconsin Alumni Association and is supported by the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, College of Letters & Science, School of Veterinary Medicine, School of Education, Laboratory of Genetics, and other organizations listed here (click "Darwin Day 2013").

Large colorful pop-art numbers lined the walls outside Joyrich in preparation for the upcoming launch of the new Stamp'd Bayside shoes. The graphics are hybrids of the brand's Numberd' and Bayside collection graphics, combining numbers with disco neon bright prints reminiscent of the 80s.

Shedding New Light on Darkroom Illumination
<<Previous | Thumbnails | Next>>
Despite this drawback, they have many advantages that make them especially attractive for darkroom lighting. LEDs have very low power consumption and operate on low voltage, making them useful in wet areas or in battery-operated lights. Light output is easily controlled with a current-limiting resistor or potentiometer, which can be made tamper-proof.
Although the spectral output is not narrow, it does not change during the operating life, and there are no filters to fade or maintain. LEDs are robust devices, with extremely long life and low maintenance requirements.
As point light sources with an emitting surface about the size of the head of a pin, LEDs are ideally suited to path lighting, which will be discussed later in this paper. The light emitted can be either diffused or focused, as needed. Most important, LEDs have an instant off/on response, making them the best choice for task lighting, which can greatly reduce unwanted exposure of the film.

INMSA rejects Gumede threat to sueComment on this story
Johannesburg - Independent Newspapers said on Wednesday that it rejected threats of legal action by businessman Robert Gumede.
Gumede's lawyers sent a letter to Independent Newspapers last week saying that he intended to sue the company for R1-billion over an article published in the Sunday Independent on March 2, 2014.
The article by Mogomotsi Magome, "ANC funder probed", alleged that a multi-million rand contract awarded to Gumede's company Gijima was the subject of a Special Investigating Unit (SIU) probe authorised by President Jacob Zuma.
In the letter to Independent Newspapers, Gumede said the article was defamatory and sensational and caused "serious commercial and reputational damage".
In a statement on Wednesday, Sunday Independent deputy editor Japhet Ncube said: "I stand by the story and by my reporter Mogomotsi, who was thorough and meticulous in researching and sourcing the story, and was equally careful in his writing.
"I consider it our duty to bring to the public's attention details of an SIU probe of a major government tender.
"We will fulfill that duty without fear or favour, regardless of who is involved." - IOL

Beautifully boyish Ben Andrews come to us from Ohio and proves that midwestern boys can pack a lot of punch. Although not one of the buffest models to ever grace our pages what Ben lacks in muscles he certainly makes up for in straight up man inches. That thing is a monster and should have a warning label: Do not operate if weak or faint of heart!! Modest Ben says he's more of a homebody anyway and professes to be a fan of martial arts and ninja techniques. We say that's just perfect Ben. Let's stay in and you can practice on us with that nunchuck whenever you want.

Dominic Pacifico is someone we'd, well, cross the Pacifico for. This brooding, uncut sack of latin lunchmeat commands your attention in the bedroom but also on the dance floor. That's right folks, when Dominic's not stripping down that deliciously bronzed bod for the pages of Playgirl, he's spinning beats in the DJ booth. Either way, we'd love some bumping and grinding time with this Mexican morsel any way we can get it.

Pupils' donations will help foodbank for people in crisis
Posted: October 18, 2012|
SCHOOLCHILDREN have been praised for deciding to use their harvest festival celebrations to support the foodbank set up for Helston and the Lizard by Mustard Seed.
Last month, shoppers at Tesco donated more than a tonne of food to it in just a few hours.
Now almost every one of the 51 families of pupils at Halwin School, near Porkellis, have contributed to a collection of items for the foodbank. Members of the pre-school also joined in.
June Nisbet, school secretary, said: "We thought it was a worthwhile way to support the local community and make a little bit of difference."
David Williams, development manager at the Helston Mustard Seed, which set up the foodbank, praised the school.
He said: "I am so proud to be part of this community. We have had so much input from local people, it has been fantastic."
The foodbank provides emergency food supplies to individuals and families in crisis, referred and given vouchers by local care professionals. Advice is also available.
Emergency food boxes are also delivered directly, or through local care workers, in more rural areas. Call for more details 01326 564194.

Carrizozo councilors got an earful from a trio Valle del Sol planning and zoning members on Tuesday as concerns over covenants enforcement, namely the lack thereof, came to the fore.
"We don't want to have to look at it any longer," the trio's spokeswoman said, asking the town council if there was any "smoother way of getting people to come before planning and zoning."
The commission members also discussed the possibility of turning the board into a committee, with powers to approve or decline applications on the spot.
"How do we give planning and zoning more power," she asked.
Trustee Yovanne Lucero said that the town had long ago come to the decision to have the commission act as an arm of the council and only provide recommendations, which was why the group met at the end of the month, right before town council meetings, so trustees could review recommendations reasonably quickly.
But Lucero, along with the rest of the council agreed that the town's ordinances and covenants needed more enforcement and more information needed to go out before people began building, "if y'all can up with a better way to get this to them," she told the commission members.
A new resident packet, including instructions on how to work with the local government on issues such as planning and zoning already is available, but many new residents don't receive the information, she said.
This could be a big concern, as prefabricated houses or trailers "can be placed in one day," Trustee Chris Ventura said.
Lucero added that the issues seemed to get worse in Valle del Sol, as there seems to be a "disconnect" between the subdivision and the town when it comes to communication with incoming residents.
One current delay in the process of issuing citations for code violations was the transfer of municipal court cases to the Lincoln County Magistrate Court as the town's municipal court prepares to close, Police Chief Stephen Barnett said, adding that he had two pending code violations waiting for the dust to settle.
Additionally, Carrizozo's ordinances are currently under review by the town's attorney, JulieAnne Leonard, to be compiled and updated, which puts a damper on any amendments or new ordinances until the tentative completion date in early January, he said.
He too shared the sentiment that ordinance enforcement needs more "teeth."
"I have to get ground rules on what can and can't be done," Barnett said, lacking a clear-cut table of what fines or sentences could be imposed for code violations.
"If they don't have a dog biting their butt, they don't care," the commission's spokeswoman summarized before suggesting the town assemble an information packet to give to realtors to distribute.
Mayor Wes Lindsay said he would look into some options to resolve the issues.

SOUTH KINGSTOWN – The Town of South Kingstown has requested the Coastal Resources Management Council to reclassify part of the Matunuck shoreline to allow for more protective measures for the eroding road.
The town seeks to reclassify the segment of shoreline south of Matunuck Beach Road to the Ocean Mist Bar from the existing Type 1 "coastal headlands, bluffs and cliffs" designation to Type 2"manmade shorelines" classification. This will affect 11 properties along the road.
The request follows the town's initial application to erect a 200 foot steel sheet pile wall along Matunuck Beach Road to prevent ongoing erosion. The CRMC is reviewing the application and public comments. The bulkhead wall has been met with opposition from Matunuck bar and homeowners, along with Save The Bay and RI Surfrider Foundation, who propose the use of soft structures and question the bulkhead's validity under CRMC policy. A public hearing on the application will be held once the town responds to the questions raised and the CRMC develops a staff report.
"It is the town's posture that this reclassification will accurately reflect the historic character of portions of the Matunuck shoreline, given the preponderance of manmade structures presently and formerly existing along the subject area," Town Manager Stephen Alfred said.
The shoreline was initially designated as Type 1 in 1983. Type 1 waters include areas that the CRMC finds is unsuitable for structures due to their exposure to severe wave action, flooding and erosion. Type 2 waters are defined as supporting low intensity recreational and residential uses. Under CRMC policy, Type 2 waters allow new structural shoreline protection like the town's application for a 200 foot sheet pile wall and accommodates residential docks, minor dredged channels and small-scale shoreline protection structures. Currently, the entire southern Rhode Island coastline from Watch Hill to Point Judith is classified as Type 1.
Alfred said the reclassification will provide the necessary administrative vehicle to allow commercial and residential property owners more flexibility in designing protective measures against erosion.
The current CRMC regulatory environment under Type 1 waters does not provide flexibility necessary for the property owners to mitigate erosion, Alfred said.
This concern has been raised several times by those opposing the town's application to erect a sheet pile wall during the public notification period Nov. 4 to Nov. 18.
In letters to the CRMC, attorneys for the Ocean Mist and Tara Joyce's Family Pub and Save The Bay's Executive Director Jonathan Stone argue that the proposed sheet wall violates CRMC policy because the structural shoreline protection is prohibited in Matunuck shoreline with its classification of Type 1.
In its April 20 staff report, the CRMC stated that any reclassification would require creation of a Matunuck Headland Coastal Natural Area. Alfred said the town is requesting that the Matunuck Headland Coastal Natural Area not be so restrictive in permitted uses and designs so to not impact or impeded property owners rights for their land.
Save The Bay and RI Surfrider Foundation have raised concerns that if the CRMC allowed South Kingstown a permit to construct a hardened shoreline structure, it would have to for other Rhode Island communities along the south shoreline. However, Alfred said approval of the application to reclassify the waters will not established precedent for the coastal resources management program.
Alfred agreed with a previous CRMC staff recommendation that the shoreline reclassification change and establishment of the Matunuck Headland Coastal Natural Area be done within the Salt Pond Regional Special Area Management Plan (SAMP) and not within the overall CRMC program, the Red Book.
Alfred said the reclassification will not affect the existing design standards required by the CRMC for the proposed man-made shoreline protection structures.

Keep up to date with the latest news and views from KPMG in the UK by following our twitter feed.
KPMG's leadership blogs brings you insight, opinion and debate from our senior partners and industry experts.
Helen Dickinson, Director General, British Retail Consortium, said: "Online sales continued to show strong growth in February for what is generally a relatively quiet, mid-season month. Overall, the 17.8 per cent sales growth average from the last three months is significantly higher than the 12 month average of 12.7 per cent.
"These figures underline the importance of retailers' omnichannel offers, with online sales boosting what would otherwise have been declining sales figures for half of all categories.
"Online and omnichannel retailing is going from strength to strength. Consumers are increasingly using smartphones and tablets to research and buy almost every type of product, and retailers continue to invest heavily to provide the seamless customer journey that shoppers are demanding. The industry continues to demonstrate real innovation with online at the heart of structural changes which are spreading to all corners of retailing."
David McCorquodale, Head of Retail, KPMG, said: "After suffering one of the wettest winters on record it's perhaps unsurprising that shoppers preferred to shop from the sanctuary of their sofas in February. Online played a crucial role this month, and without internet sales, non-food sales would have fallen into negative territory. Online sales remain a key pillar of retailers' revenues and this absolutely justifies the extensive investment being made to improve multichannel operations and the experience retailers deliver to customers both online and in store."
The Online BRC-KPMG Retail Sales Monitor measures changes in the actual value (including VAT) of online retail sales, excluding automotive fuel. The Monitor measures the value of spending and hence does not adjust for price or VAT changes. If prices are rising, sales volumes will increase by less than sales values. In times of price deflation, sales volumes will increase by more than sales values.
Retailers report the value of their online sales for the current period and the equivalent period a year ago.
Total Non-Food sales growth is the percentage change in the value of all retail sales with the exception of food sales compared to the same period a year earlier. The total Non-Food sales measure is used to assess market level trends in Non-Food retail sales. Non-Food retail spending represents approximately 55% of total retail sales.
Online (including mail order and phone) sales of Non-Food are transactions which take place over the internet, or via mail order or phone. Online sales growth is the percentage change in the value of online sales compared to those in the same period a year earlier. It is a guide to the growth of sales made by all non-store channels.
Penetration is the proportion of sales attributed to the online channel (including mail order and phone). Penetrations are calculated category by category as online sales submitted by participating retailers relative to total sales those retailers submit to the BRC-KPMG Retail Sales Monitor. Participants who do not sell online (or through non-store channels) are included but participants who do sell online but do not submit their online sales are excluded.
The responses provided by retailers within each sales category are weighted* to reflect the contribution of each category to total retail sales, thus making it representative of UK retail sales as a whole. The rates used are derived from the Office of National Statistics Family Spending Survey and revised every year. Because the figures compare sales this month with the comparable period last year, a seasonal adjustment is not made. However, changes in the timing of Bank Holidays and Easter can create distortions, which should be considered in the interpretation of the data.
In its role as sponsor of the BRC-KPMG Retail Sales Monitor, KPMG is responsible for the aggregation of the retail sales data provided by the retailers on a weekly basis. This data consists of the relevant current week's sales data and comparative sales figures for the same period in the prior year. The aggregation has been performed by KPMG on data for periods following 2 April 2000 and equivalent prior periods. The accuracy of the data is entirely the responsibility of the retailers providing it. The sponsorship role has been performed by KPMG since 10 April 2000 and the same for the aggregation of comparative sales figures for the period from 2 April 2000 it is not responsible for the aggregation of any data included in this Monitor relating to any period prior to 2 April 2000.
* The aggregation and weighting of data for the 'online' monitor has been performed by the BRC and KPMG for periods starting 25 November 2012 and equivalent prior year periods. Prior to that date, the online figures in this monitor refer to the unweighted Non-Food non store indicator, as published in the BRC-KPMG Retail Sales Monitor until July 2013.
The commentary from the BRC is intended to be of general interest to readers but is not advice or a recommendation and should not be relied upon without first taking professional advice. Anyone choosing to rely on it does so at his or her own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, KPMG will accept no responsibility or liability in connection with its sponsorship of the Monitor and its aggregation work to any party other than the BRC.

This coming year will mark the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. E.J.

Did Lincoln Come to Support Emancipation?

Sandra Pupatello and Charles Sousa join Liberal leadership race, while Matthews bows out
Former economic development minister Sandra Pupatello to kick off campaign Thursday, Citizenship and Immigration Minister Charles Sousa on Saturday.

The race for Premier Dalton McGuinty's job widens Thursday as former cabinet minister Sandra Pupatello joins the race after Health Minister Deb Matthews bowed out.
Away from politics for a year after sitting out last October's provincial election that reduced the Liberals to a minority, Pupatello has been director of business development and global markets for PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
She'll be followed into the contest on Saturday by Citizenship and Immigration Minister Charles Sousa, who will resign from cabinet "in the next 24 hours," said a source close to his campaign that will culminate in a leadership convention at Maple Leaf Gardens Jan. 25 to 27.
Pupatello, a former economic development and social services minister, will focus her bid on improving the financial situation in Ontario, where there are more than 600,000 unemployed and the deficit sits at $14.4 billion.
"It'll be like James Carville in his advice to the Clinton campaign: 'It's the economy, stupid,' " a Pupatello insider said in reference to a scene in The War Room, a documentary on former U.S. president Bill Clinton's first winning run for the White House.
Pupatello got a boost from McGuinty, whom she also served as deputy leader in the party's opposition days when she was a scrappy presence in the legislature's daily question period.
"Sandra is both a lot of fun and a lot of force," the premier told reporters Wednesday an Ontario Chamber of Commerce summit on the economy.
Opposition parties said she brings a lot of baggage, too, as a minister around the cabinet table when the McGuinty government scrapped two power plants at a cost of at least $230 million to taxpayers, and for scandals surrounding the ORNGE air ambulance service and eHealth Ontario.
"They were all there," Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak said of the leadership candidates, including former ministers Kathleen Wynne and Glen Murray, who declared their candidacies earlier this week.
"They all looked the other way when the ORNGE scandal developed."
It will be fascinating to watch Liberals run on ways to improve the province after being part of the team that has brought the province heavy unemployment and higher electricity bills, said New Democrat MPP Jonah Schein (Davenport).
"McGuinty ministers can run for premier, but they can't hide from their record."
Matthews said she decided not to run because the health-care system needs a "steady hand" in efforts to cut costs and improve services.
"The biggest contribution I can make is to stay right where I am," she told a hospital conference on Wednesday.
Matthews, a grandmother of four and sister-in-law of former premier David Peterson, said she plans to run in the next election.
She would have faced heavy scrutiny for her oversight of the health ministry during the ORNGE air ambulance scandal, but insisted that was "not at all" a factor in her decision.
Sousa can expect heat over the Mississauga power plant north of Sherway Gardens mall.
The decision to scrap that plant less than two weeks before last fall's election, and a larger one in Oakville that was cancelled a year earlier, were seen as politically motivated "seat savers" by opposition parties to save five Liberal ridings.
"He's the lightning rod," said Conservative energy critic Vic Fedeli, noting it was Sousa who announced the Mississauga plant cancellation.
Several contenders have already bowed out of the race, including embattled Energy Minister Chris Bentley, also under fire for the politically motivated power plant cancellations, and Finance Minister Dwight Duncan.
Duncan has said he would support a Pupatello bid. Because he will not run in the next general election, Pupatello could run for his Windsor—Tecumseh seat after her old seat in Windsor West was won by Liberal Teresa Piruzza.
Also considering bids are former education minister Gerard Kennedy and current Children and Youth Services Minister Eric Hoskins, a medical doctor.
