(AP) -About 200 inmates barricaded themselves in the City Jail cafeteria today and police forced them out with tear gas. Thé men were returned to their cells. No injuries were reported. The uprising occurred just one day after a rebellion was put down at a state prison in Attica,^N.Y., wHere 37 persons were killed. Inmates there had held 38 persons hostage since Thursday. According to Baltimore police, inmates took possession of the cafeteria about 7:15 and refused to come out. Police said they moved in with tear gas about one^ hour later. Some 50 police said the inmates had no hostages. The City Jail has a predominantly black population of 1,200 inmates. Police reportedly pulled back within two hours after the uprising began. "Everything is secure here," reported a prison official at 9 a.m. Prison officials and city _ police never deemed the situation important enough to notify state officials. Howard B. Parks, deputy warden at City Jail, said the uprising was "a follow up" to the Attica uprising. "To my knowledge the only cause was the thing in Attica," Parks said. "It's a wonder iVs not more widespread throughout,the country.". -' 'm&'discourûed if^eciiktion that the uprising was stirred by militant forces.

(AP) - Officials sc'l about the task of putting Allien Slate Prison in order, today after bloody clashes in which a battery of peace officers and National Guardsmen was pitted against the baseball bats, knives and gasoline bombs of rebellious inmates. Thirty-seven men died. Niiie of the dead were hos; tagcs-part of the group of 38 guards and prison employes held for four days by the convicts inside the prison walls. It was a dark, rainy but quiet day today in this western New York village where the sound ^f gunshots, helicopters and exploding tear gas grenades were heard Monday. Officials were trying to identify the dead inmates, piece together an account of what led to the bloodshed, and put the prison system back on its routine. Relieving guards and other personnel who had been on extra duty during the long hours of trouble, securing adequate supplies and prepariTfg meals were priority considerations, they said. But state officials were faced early in the day with a federal court order forbidding them from interrogating any of the subdued inmates until attorneys could counsel with them. U.S. District Court Judge John Cur.tain scheduliid a hearing on his order, which also instructed prison officials to ad- penolog\' medical care being giyen While" pointing to legislative i!'-'"'"?'^ P"®?"®''?;.

From the state that popularized purse puppies, drive-thru dog washes and gourmet dog-food delivery comes the latest in canine convenience...
SAN FRANCISCO — From the state that popularized purse puppies, drive-thru dog washes and gourmet dog-food delivery comes the latest in canine convenience: a company that contracts out dogs by the day to urbanites who don't have the time or space to care for a pet full time.
Marlena Cervantes, founder of FlexPetz, bristles when people refer to her five-month-old business as a rent-a-pet service. She prefers the term "shared pet ownership," saying the concept is more akin to a vacation time share or a gym membership than a trip to the video store.
"Our members are responsible in that they realize full-time ownership is not an option for them and would be unfair to the dog," said Cervantes, 32, a behavioral therapist who got the idea while working with pets and autistic children. "It prevents dogs from being adopted and then returned to the shelter by people who realize it wasn't a good fit."
FlexPetz is now available in Los Angeles and San Diego, where Cervantes lives. She plans to open new locations in San Francisco next month, New York in September and London by the end of the year.

For an annual fee of $99.95, a monthly payment of $49.95 and a per-visit charge of $39.95 a day (discounted to $24.95 Sunday through Thursday), people who enroll in FlexPetz get to spend time with a four-legged companion from Cervantes' 10-dog crew of Afghan hounds, Labrador retrievers and Boston terriers.
The membership costs cover the expense of training and boarding the dogs, home or office delivery, collar-sized global positioning devices, veterinary bills and liability insurance. It also pays for the "care kits" — leashes, bowls, beds and premeasured food — that accompany each dog on its visits.
Charter FlexPetz member Shari Gonzalez said she was thinking about getting a dog when a dog trainer she consulted suggested part-time ownership. At first, she had reservations.
Gonzalez, 22, never doubted there was room for a dog in her heart. The issue was her life, which included a small, two-bedroom apartment and a full-time schedule of college classes in San Diego.
"I was thinking, 'How is a dog going to bounce from house to house and be OK with that?' " she said.
Since signing up, Gonzalez said she has tried out several dogs but fell in love with a black Lab named Jackpot. They spend an average of one day each weekend together. He sleeps at her apartment and she takes him on hikes, to the beach and to parks frequented by other dog owners.
"I never even thought that was a possibility," Gonzalez said. "I thought you either owned a dog or you didn't."
Melissa Bain, a veterinarian with the Companion Animal Behavior Program at the University of California, Davis, said she had concerns but no hard-and-fast objections to a service like FlexPetz.
"It depends on the people and it depends on the animal," Bain said. "Some dogs may be fine and some may become stressed because they are moving from home to home."

I can't find the words to describe it. It's all so new yet familiar - that's how it always been, from the start. Natural. For someone who usually finds her way with words, I'm almost lost when it comes to doing you justice. Despite all the time I've spent with you it doesn't quite feel like enough.

And the more moments I have with you, the more I'm reminded of why we fell into this beautiful mess.
'Oh you don't know what it feels like to know you, yeah / Let's just settle down, and hold each other near' - Jagwar Ma
It's a blessing, to have someone who just gets it – that's the best feeling of all. Someone so willing to accept, put their heart out on the line, and give unconditionally. I've never met anyone as selfless, as humane, or as caring as you. What was I to expect the day I walked into the most miraculous accident of my life? Meeting you was the first extraordinary step. You've made me appreciate everything more, including myself and my self-perceived flaws. You've made light where it's dark. You've made it into my heart and mind.
time stamps
Today I found myself falling for you again in all the ways I did at the start. Just seeing you struck something in me and it felt kind of like home (best way I can describe it). I don't even know why considering I'd seen you quite recently, actually. I just saw those eyes again.
I've known you for a grand total of 3 months. We both know that's incredibly insane considering how far we've come. It's a ridiculous amount of time for anyone to get to know each other and dive into a romantic relationship together. However, I now know that's the beauty of it. Why slow down anything that's progressing so well?
These days I find myself falling for you over and over again - just like the old times. I'd feel that one feeling in the pit of my stomach, just the kind you can't wish away. A feeling of longing and comfort that only you provide. The sparks we had initially have made their way to me at the most random intervals, especially when we're doing the littlest of things.
Everything that you feel - I feel it too. I have felt it, and continuously do. You understand me very well - of course you do, they'd also be emotions familiar to you. I think I sometimes forget what makes you and I so compatible – our overlapping adversities, and the beauty we unknowingly reap in the sadness. There's an art to being in the dark, something so unique no one could match it. You come pretty close though. I wouldn't be dancing in the dark with anyone, apart from you. (Though I do enjoy dancing a fair bit.)
I know that's no cure for our interspersed blues, nor can one truly have their effect on another. The possession of a significant other does not resolve one's woes. Having you doesn't take me away from my intrinsic misery, but it helps. You make me content with the present.

Making headway on recent statements that Oprah Winfrey's new OWN network will be a player in the documentary scene, the fledgling channel announced three pick ups Monday. OWN has acquired rights to Lisa Leeman's "One Lucky Elephant," Nimisha Mukerji and Philip Lyall's "65_Redroses," and Matthew D. Kallis' Most Valuable Players. The films will air as part of OWN's monthly documentary film club, debuting in Spring 2011.
Filmed over a decade, "One Lucky Elephant" follows circus producer David Balding as he struggles to find a nurturing permanent home for Flora, the orphaned baby African elephant he lovingly raised as a "daughter" and made the star of his circus. According to an OWN description of the film, as Flora approaches adulthood, David realizes that she is no longer happy performing and needs to be with other elephants. The road to Floras retirement, however, is a difficult and emotional journey that tests their bond in unexpected ways.
"65_Redroses," meanwhile, is the story of 23 year-old Eva Markvoort, a Canadian woman suffering from the fatal genetic disease cystic fibrosis and awaiting a double lung transplant. The film captures Markvoort's unshakeable spirit and determined will to live as she battles her disease and blogs about her experience, using the online identity 65_RedRoses. While sharing her story via the Internet, Markvoort meets two other cystic fibrosis sufferers, neither of whom she can meet in person because of the threat of the possible spread of infection. The three women become one another's lifelines and sources of support, as their lives and struggles become inextricably linked.
"Most Valuable Players" spotlights the Freddy Awards, a live television event which celebrates high school musical theater in New Jersey and the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania. The film follows three theater troupes on their creative journey to the elaborate award ceremony, which is akin to the "Tony Awards" for high school musicals.
"OWN seeks to entertain, inspire and inform," commented Lisa Erspamer, chief creative officer, OWN in a statement. "What better way to further that mission than to provide a mainstream platform for emerging and established documentary filmmakers to present different stories that move the viewer, and then to encourage a dialogue and exchange of ideas."
A joint venture between Harpo, Inc. and Discovery Communications, OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network is a multi-platform media, that, according to the company, is "designed to entertain, inform, and inspire people to live their best lives." OWN will debut on January 1, 2011 in approximately 80 million homes on what is currently the Discovery Health Channel. The venture also will include the digital platform, Oprah.com.

Yes, no? What channel? On DirecTV?

Yes, no? What channel? On DirecTV?
It's on Universal Sports Network. Unfortunately, my provider (Comcast) doesn't have it. There are usually ways to get to it online, but they often require installing something on the computer which I'm loathe to do.
- Mark
ITV4 here on all providers, freesat/sky/freeviwe/virgenmedia its on all the providers here in the UK, so many you could go on itv4 website and watch it, although KT will be orientated to the UK and cover it from a UK style, such as foucus on the UK riders but many it might be fun to watch from a different perspedtive
USN is part of a package. If you're a DirecTV customer try calling them and seeing about adding it. They often do 'specials' where you could get that package very cheaply for the first few months, and can drop it afterwards, IIRC.
USN is only standard definition though, which (to me) really suffers by comparison to HD. And from watching some of the Vuelta last year, the actual TV work is not up to the standards of the Tour: fewer cameras, etc. It's certainly shot HD though, so it could be broadcast that way, it just isn't.
Ok i realise this is an older thread but i dont want to get *****ed at for making a new thread/not searching.
So ive been watching the TDF since 2010 and ive never been able to watch the giro/vuelta due to it not being part of my digital cable package....
So my question is is there a website that i can watch the vuelta on like each complete stage? And another ? Do phil and paul cover it also?
steephill.tv if you don't mind browser streaming. I watched the spring classics and Giro that way this year and it was decent enough for me. Just keep a clean browser with ad blocker, etc on full strength.
When I switched to UVerse earlier this year, I began getting the BEIN Sports channel. It's a Euro Sports channel- cycling & soccer mostly, it appears. Watched the Giro and the Tour de Suisse on it, and I believe they'll carry the Vuelta, too.
FWIW, I believe DISH Network carries BEIN now, too.

First Chapter
'The Dogs of Babel'
By CAROLYN PARKHURST
Published: July 13, 2003
Here is what we know, those of us who can speak to tell a story: On the afternoon of October 24, my wife, Lexy Ransome, climbed to the top of the apple tree in our backyard and fell to her death. There were no witnesses, save our dog, Lorelei; it was a weekday afternoon, and none of our neighbors were at home, sitting in their kitchens with their windows open, to hear whether, in that brief midair moment, my wife cried out or gasped or made no sound at all. None of them were working in their yards, enjoying the last of the warm weather, to see whether her body crumpled before she hit the ground, or whether she tried to right herself in the air, or whether she simply spread her arms open to the sky.
I was in the university library when it happened, doing research for a paper I was working on for an upcoming symposium. I had an evening seminar to teach that night, and if I hadn't called home to tell Lexy something interesting I'd read about a movie she'd been wanting to see, then I might have taught my class, gone out for my weekly beer with my graduate students, and spent a few last hours of normalcy, happily unaware that my yard was full of policemen kneeling in the dirt.
As it was, though, I dialed my home number and a man answered the phone. "Ransome residence," he said.
I paused for a moment, confused. I scanned my mental catalog of male voices, friends and relatives who might possibly be at the house for one reason or another, but I couldn't match any of them to the voice on the other end of the line. I was a bit thrown by the phrase "Ransome residence," as well; my last name is Iverson, and to hear a strange man refer to my house as if only Lexy lived there gave me the strange feeling that I'd somehow, in the course of a day, been written out of my own life's script.
"May I speak to Lexy?" I said finally.
"May I ask who's calling?" the man said.
"This is her husband, Paul. Iverson."
"Mr. Iverson, this is Detective Anthony Stack. I'm going to need you to come home now. There's been an accident."
Apparently Lorelei was the one responsible for summoning the police. As our neighbors returned home from work, one by one, they heard her endless, keening howl coming from our yard. They knew Lorelei, most of them, and were used to hearing her bark, barrel-chested and deep, when she chased birds and squirrels around the yard. But they'd never heard her make a sound like this. Our neighbor to the left, Jim Perasso, was the first to peer over the top of our fence and make the discovery. It was already dark out - the days were getting shorter, and dusk was coming earlier and earlier each day - but as Lorelei ran frantically between the apple tree and the back door of the house, her movements activated our backyard motion-sensor lights. With every circle Lorelei made, she'd pause to nudge Lexy's body with her nose, stopping long enough to allow the lights to go out; then, as she resumed her wild race to each corner of the yard, the lights would go on again. It was through this surreal, strobelike flickering that Jim saw Lexy lying beneath the tree and called 911.
When I arrived, there was police tape marking off the backyard gate, and the man I had spoken to on the phone met me as I walked across the lawn. He introduced himself again and took me to sit in the living room. I followed him dumbly, all my half-questions stalled by the dread that seemed to have stopped the passage of air through my lungs. I guess I knew what was coming. Already, the house felt still and bare, as if it had been emptied of all the living complexity that had been there when I left. Even Lorelei was gone, having been sedated and taken away by animal control for the night.
Detective Stack told me what had happened as I sat there, numb.
"Do you have any idea what your wife might have been doing in the tree?" he asked.
"I don't know," I said. She had never, in the time I had known her, shown any interest in climbing trees, and this one couldn't have been an easy one to start with. The apple tree in our yard is unusually tall, a monster compared to the dwarf varieties you see in orchards and autumn pick-your-own farms. We had neglected it, not pruning it even once in the time we'd lived there, and it had grown to an unruly height of twenty-five or thirty feet. I couldn't begin to guess what she might have been doing up there. Detective Stack was watching me closely. "Maybe she wanted to pick some apples," I said weakly.
"Well, that seems to be the logical answer." He looked at me and at the floor. "It seems pretty clear to us that your wife's death was an accident, but in cases like this when there are no witnesses, we need to do a brief investigation to rule out suicide. I have to ask - did your wife seem at all depressed lately? Did she ever mention suicide, even in a casual way?"
I shook my head.
"I didn't think so," he said. "I just had to ask."
When the men in the yard finished taking their pictures and collecting their evidence, Detective Stack talked to them and reported back to me that everyone was satisfied. It had been an accident, no question. Apparently there are two ways of falling, and each one tells a story. A person who jumps from a great height, even as high as seven or eight floors up, can control the way she falls; if she lands on her feet, she may sustain great injuries to her legs and spine, but she may survive. And if she does not survive, then the particular way her bones break, the way her ankles and knee shatter from the stress of the impact, lets us know that her jump was intentional. But a person who reaches the top branches of an apple tree, twenty-five feet off the ground, and simply loses her footing has no control over how she falls. She may tumble in the air and land on her stomach or her back or her head. She may land with her skin intact and still break every bone and crush every organ inside her. This is how we decide what is an accident and what is not. When they found Lexy, she was lying faceup, and her neck was broken. This is how we know that Lexy didn't jump.

Sept 19 (Reuters) - Home Depot Inc is shiftingmedical coverage for part-time workers to new public marketplaceexchanges ahead of new benefits requirements under the U.S.Affordable Care Act, a spokesman said on Thursday.
The world's largest home improvement retail chain announcedits move shortly after a similar announcement from Trader Joe'sCo, a popular privately held grocery chain.
Home Depot's change would affect roughly 20,000 part-timeworkers who previously had chosen the limited liability medicalplan the company offered, spokesman Stephen Holmes said.
After Dec. 31, companies can no longer offer those plansunder the health law, also known as Obamacare.
"We're going to shift them over to the public exchanges,where there are more options," Holmes said.
The public exchanges being set up under the law will allowindividuals to buy government-subsidized healthcare based onincome. Enrollment begins on Oct. 1.
Until now, many restaurants and retailers offered workerslimited liability plans that often provided less than $5,000 incoverage.
Home Depot's plans for part-time workers provided coverageof up to $20,000 depending on the plan and were administered byAetna Inc.
Experts have said exchanges would provide more comprehensivecoverage that may not cost more because government tax creditswill help some workers offset premiums.
Some employers are opting to offer coverage through privatehealth insurance changes.
Walgreen Co, the largest U.S. drugstore, and morethan a dozen other large employers have said they would offertheir employee insurance for 2014 through the Aon HewittCorporate Health Exchange.
Home Depot employs about 340,000 people and will continue tooffer healthcare benefits to full-time employees, who will bepaying more for that coverage next year due to higher healthcarecosts, Holmes said.

text: When Rising Rates Hurt Stocks, How Bad Did It Get? Chris Marx, Alison Martier August 15, 2013 Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Equities A reader of our recent blog post about stocks in rising-rate environments asked us for more details on the magnitude and timing of any stock-market sell-offs during those periods. They were uncommon but ugly, so we thought our answer warranted another post. As we wrote earlier, global stocks averaged annualized gains of around 17% during the 15 periods of rising 10-year US Treasury yields, outperforming their long-term average pace by roughly eight percentage points. In nine of those periods, there were no major stock-market pullbacks, and price gains remained above the historical trend for the duration of the rising-yield cycle. But how bad did it get when stocks didn't do so well? The display below shows the cumulative global stock returns for three such periods. By far the worst sell-off occurred during the 1971–1975 rate rise (green line). Stocks climbed 27% in the first two-and-a-half years. Then came the OPEC oil embargo of October 1973, which caused widespread energy shortages and soaring headline inflation. Stocks plunged more than 40% in the subsequent 12 months before recovering. Although stocks rose 11% over the full rate upcycle, annualized gains significantly lagged their long-term average pace. During the 1993–1994 episode (dark blue line), when the US Federal Reserve's surprising tightening shift pushed 10-year US Treasury yields up 250 basis points in 15 months, stocks ended the rate upcycle only modestly higher. Upticks were interrupted by a couple of pullbacks of roughly 6%. There was only one case in which stocks finished lower than where they began—during the 1989–1990 rate rise (light blue line), when the US savings-and-loan crisis caused massive bank failures and drove up risk premiums. Stocks trended upward for the first six months, then fell 16% during the remaining four. For the full rate upcycle, stocks were down 2.4%. In two other periods (not shown), stocks tallied above-trend performances despite significant sell-offs along the way. Stocks dropped 14% in the final 10 months of the 1976–1981 rate rise, as then–Fed Chairman Paul Volker's hardline anti-inflation campaign pushed the US into recession. There was also a 10% correction in the first few months of the 2002–2006 rising-rate cycle, as markets absorbed monetary-policy shifts. So, apart from the 40% yearlong nosedive in the 1973–1974 bear market, stock-market drawdowns during periods of rising yields generally have been modest. As we indicated in our earlier post, with the US economic recovery still fragile and inflation quiescent, we see little reason to expect a repeat of the worst scenarios—barring any unforeseeable financial or geopolitical crises.

I installed Debian Squeeze on a 1.5 TB harddrive. But later found out that there is a smaller, 250 GB drive around here.
So, I need to move the installation (maybe around 40-50 GB in total) from bigger HD to a smaller one.
How this can be accomplished?
Thanks in advance!

NEWS FLASH...Northside was selected as one of 20 of the Most Scenic MTB Trails in the Western USA by Singletracks.com! Click here to read the article.
In all the world of mountain biking, Taos New Mexico is a familiar name that conjures up thoughts of epic bicycling in the mountains. Images of dashing along on rolling single track through white aspen trunks that support golden leaves quaking in the bright sunlight come to mind. Around the next corner could be a side hill trail above tree line with views you just have to stop and gaze into the far distance to absorb.
This playground extends well above tree line in Taos Ski Valley. The world renowned ski area is also becoming well known for extreme mountain biking. With elevation changes that make your heart pump for joy, the rewards of the effort are heart stopping views and sick downhills.
Northside at Taos Ski Valley offers the majority of riding in the ski valley. This self-guided fee-based mountain biking area is on 1,200 acres of private recreational development. As a mapped and signed trail system designed especially for mountain biking, Northside is a looped trail network with spectacular overlooks, single and double track routes through pines, aspen, and meadows. The terrain is best suited for the intermediate and higher level rider. For the more adventurous, one can pedal to the top of 12,163 ft. Frazer Mountain, the highest point on the property at an average grade of less than 10%.
If interested, click here to view the Frazer Mountain Madness Hill Climb winners and record times.
Northside is open dawn to dusk from late June through October, weather permitting. Access permits are for sale at many locations in Taos Ski Valley or at the trailhead kiosk. Permits are also sold in Taos at Taos Cyclery and Gearing Up Bicycle Shop.
For those that prefer to stick to the village roads and less challenging climbs, one can ride a four to five mile loop around the valley on Kachina Road to Kachina Village, then enjoy an all downhill ride back to the main base area, all for free, just rent or bring a bike.
After the ride, relax and refuel with some great food and brews available right in Taos Ski Valley. Shop a little then take a relaxing ride up the chairlift.
MTB photos on this site were taken on Northside.

5/25/2016 | Shorthanded lineup buckles in Texas
Shorthanded as it might be, the Angels' offense has stepped up of late, scoring more frequently than all but four teams in May. But there will be nights like Tuesday, when a guy like Martin Perez can carve his way through a lineup that isn't as deep as intended.

Baseball's 2016 season is more than a quarter old. And while Trevor Story, Bryce Harper and David Ortiz have traded places grabbing the national attention over the first seven weeks, Mike Trout is the one who once again leads position players in Wins Above Replacement.
5/24/2016 | Pujols producing more at 1B than DH
Albert Pujols homered for the fourth time in his 13th start at first base on Monday, which is one fewer than the amount of home runs he has managed in 32 starts at designated hitter. His slash line on the days he starts at first base is .313/.400/.604, but only .195/.270/.333 at DH.

I went on a search for pads to replace these and notice something peculiar with the stock pads, they're curved whereas the pads i was looking at were all straight. Does it matter? I dont want to buy the exact replacement pads that came on the bike because they just werent up to snuff, thought i'd try something different but the curve of the pad has thrown me for a loop.
For you visual folks here's the brakes in question.

Summary of Decision:
Equity Appreciation Partners Capital Fund 1 LLC ("Applicant") sought to subdivide the lot where the Williams-Addison House, an individually designated landmark listed in the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites and a contributing building to the Old Georgetown Historic District, sits. The goal of the subdivision was to create two separate record lots, so that each lot could contain a single-family home (the Williams-Addison House would remain on one lot, and another single-family dwelling was proposed to be constructed on the other lot). (Without relief from the Board of Zoning Adjustment, only one single-family house is permitted on a record lot per 11 DCMR Section 2516.) Applicant claimed the subdivision would "retain and enhance" the landmark through a conservation easement on portions of the property, making the subdivision consistent with the purposes of the Act. Applicant also claimed that the subdivision would be compatible because other lots in the Old Georgetown Historic District had been similarly divided. The Mayor's Agent denied the application for subdivision, finding the proposed draft conservation easement insufficient protection of the open space on the property, and that the subdivision would change the property's boundaries that had remained in place since 1858, thus altering one of the few remaining examples of historical patterns of development in Old Georgetown.
During the course of the hearing before the Mayor's Agent, a secondary issue arose, concerning whether Assessment and Taxation ("A&T") lot subdivisions are covered by the D.C. Historic Preservation Act (the "Act"), and therefore within the jurisdiction of the Historic Preservation Review Board (the "HPRB") and the Mayor's Agent. The property previously was divided into four such A&T lots without approval of the Mayor's Agent. The Mayor's Agent vacated the A&T lot creation, concluding that such a subdivision created theoretical building lots that fell within the purview of the Act.
Mayor's Agent - Procedural:
Consistent with the Purposes of the Act:
The Mayor's Agent restated the purpose of the Act as set forth in the statute with regard to historic landmarks, i.e., "to retain and enhance historic landmarks in the District of Columbia and to encourage their adaptation for current use." Applicant claimed that the character of the landmark would be retained and enhanced through a promise to donate a conservation easement on portions of the property in order to protect the open space surrounding the landmark house. Applicant's expert testified that the proposed subdivision would not compromise the house, "alter the history of the house or cause the landmark to lose its integrity."
The Mayor's Agent concluded that the unsigned draft of the conservation easement agreement, which was subject to further negotiations and amendments, would not serve to protect the open space surrounding the property. The Mayor's Agent relied upon D.C. Preservation League v. D.C. Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs, 656 A.2d 984, 991 (D.C. 1994) to support his conclusion. There, the D.C. Court of Appeals held that the Mayor's Agent is not a permanent administrative component of the D.C. government, and, as a result, is bound by the terms of the Act, and is not bound by a private agreement when determining whether the requirements of the Act have been satisfied. (The D.C. Court of Appeals additionally held that the Mayor's Agent had no authority to limit future use of a site once occupied by an historic landmark, and so the Mayor's Agent was found to have exceeded his authority when he attempted to impose a restrictive covenant on the future use of the property in that case.)
The Mayor's Agent also concluded that the significance of the landmark made subdivision inconsistent with the purposes of the Act. The Mayor's Agent found that the Williams-Addison house was constructed between 1815 and 1817, and while it had undergone several additions during the following hundred years, the property's 1858 boundaries had remained intact. The Mayor's Agent found that the Williams-Addison house is associated with several prominent Washingtonians, including two of Georgetown's oldest families: the Bealls and the Williamses. As a result, it reveals information about the "patterns of original subdivision, architecture, land holding and inheritance of nineteenth century Georgetown." It is also "one of the last remaining estates of its size in the Old Georgetown Historic District." The Mayor's Agent went on to conclude that subdivision of the property in order to build another house behind the landmark would do nothing to "adapt the property to current use" because it is already suited to use as a single-family dwelling.
The Mayor's Agent restated the purpose of the Act as set forth in the statute with regard to buildings in historic districts, i.e., "to retain and enhance those properties which contribute to the character of the historic district and encourage their adaptation for current use; and to assure that new construction and subdivision of lots in an historic district are compatible with the character of the historic district." Applicant desired to subdivide the property into two record lots to be configured as a "pipe stem;" and Applicant's expert testified that such a subdivision was compatible with the character of the historic district because other lots in the Old Georgetown Historic District had also been subdivided into pipe stem configurations, e.g., to allow for construction of homes on an alley. However, the lots cited by Applicant were either subdivided prior to the creation of the Old Georgetown Historic District and/or did not involve historic landmarks, and the Mayor's Agent concluded that a similar subdivision of the Williams-Addison property was thus not compatible with the character of the historic district.
Assessment and Taxation Subdivisions:
The subject property was divided into four A&T lots without the express approval of the HPRB. Relying upon the subdivision of the Beall-Washington House, an individually landmarked property within the Old Georgetown Historic District, Applicant claimed that the creation of those lots was not a subdivision reviewable by the Mayor's Agent and thus not covered by the Act. The Beall-Washington House was placed into an A&T lot and then converted into a record lot based on the A&T lot configuration; the A&T lot subdivision was accomplished without review by the HPRB or Mayor's Agent. However, the Mayor's Agent concluded the Mayor's Agent does have jurisdiction over the creation of A&T lots. The Mayor's Agent asserted that D.C. law expressly requires subdivisions to be reviewed by HPRB and, where appropriate, forwarded to the Mayor's Agent. Reviewing the legislative history through briefs submitted by Applicant and Friends, the Mayor's Agent stated that the definition of "subdivision" includes the "division of any lot of record into two or more theoretical building sites." The Mayor's Agent therefore concluded that the term "subdivision" encompasses A&T lots because they create theoretical building sites. The Mayor's Agent concluded that the subdivision of the lot into four A&T lots without review violated the Act and ordered that the A&T lots be vacated.

Pujols, Trumbo put on a show vs. Dodgers
LOS ANGELES – The Angels needed only two swings of the bat to show how much distance there is between them and the Dodgers this season. One was a mighty swat by Albert Pujols; the second, a mightier one by Mark Trumbo.
Pujols hit a 441-foot home run in the first inning, and Trumbo trumped him with a 444-foot blast in the second, as the Angels battered the Dodgers, 8-3, on Wednesday to take two out of three in the Freeway Series. The Angels outscored their L.A. counterparts, 21-10, in the series.
C.J. Wilson capped a sparkling spring by allowing five hits and no runs in four innings. Although he fell behind some hitters and needed 83 pitches, he struck out five and walked two. He finished 4-0 in spring training with an ERA of 1.11 to go with 21 strikeouts and only five walks.
And yet he was just an awed fan like everyone else when Pujols crushed his first hit in California as an Angel. "How could you not be?" Wilson said. "I know what it's like to sit in meetings and try to figure out how to pitch to him. It's a challenge."
Hard-throwing Dodgers starter Nathan Eovaldi struck out the first two batters before Pujols came to the plate. He fouled off a 97 mph fastball, then got hold of one that arrived at a mere 95 mph. Pujols turned on the pitch and launched it over the left-field bullpen, over the hedge, over the railing, over the walkway. It landed somewhere on the white canvas roof of the team store.
"He killed it," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.
In the bottom of the inning, Trumbo committed his fourth error of spring training in his new position of third base, gloving a grounder but then bobbling it. In the second he proved again that his offensive ability outweighs any defensive limitations. He connected with another 95 mph pitch from Eovaldi and deposited it halfway up the left-field pavilion. Two swings, 885 feet of long ball.
The Angels appear more than ready for Friday night's regular-season opener against Kansas City. They finished spring training 19-12-2 and hit .295 as a team. Pujols led the team with seven homers and 20 RBIs, and he hit .383, tied for second with Howie Kendrick behind only Erick Aybar's .389.
Amarista makes it
The only drama Wednesday was which players would grab the last few spots on the bench for an incredibly deep, talented team.
One player who beat the odds and made the opening day 25-man roster was 5-foot-7, 150-pound utility player Alexi Amarista. He hit .322 with two homers and 13 RBIs this spring.
"His versatility is something we can use, and I think he'll give us some speed off the bench," Scioscia said.
Many players had a productive March in the Cactus League, including corner infielder Jorge Cantu, who hit .277 with two homers and 10 RBIs. But he was assigned to Triple-A Salt Lake City, along with outfielder Ryan Langerhans. Coincidentally, both those players homered Wednesday.
Cantu, 30, said he's leaning toward accepting the assignment with the Bees; on May 1 he can opt out of his contract and sign with any team. He'd like it to be the Angels, because he thinks he can still hit for power, as he did with Tampa Bay in 2005-06 and Florida in 2008-09.
"I have a lot left," he said. "I did what I could, I played my game. But sometimes there's just not room."
The Angels put four players on the 15-day disabled list: starter Jerome Williams (left hamstring); relievers Bobby Cassevah (right shoulder) and Michael Kohn (right forearm); and outfielder Jeremy Moore (left hip).
Four starters set
Not that it was a big shock, but Scioscia revealed before the game that Jered Weaver will officially be the opening day starting pitcher against the Royals.
The Angels have the first four components of their rotation set: After Weaver goes on Friday night, it'll be Dan Haren on Saturday and Ervin Santana on Sunday.
Wilson is the No. 4 starter, and he'll make his regular-season debut for the Angels on Monday afternoon at Minnesota. Wilson noted that the rotation goes "tallest to shortest" — the 6-foot-7 Weaver, the 6-5 Haren, the 6-2 Santana and the 6-1 Wilson.
Next Tuesday is an off day for the Angels and Twins, and for the second and third games of the series the Angels will return to the top of the rotation with Weaver and Haren. On April 13, the Angels begin a three-game series at Yankee Stadium. Santana and Wilson will start the first two games in New York on four days rest. Since Weaver will have only three days rest on April 15, that will be where the fifth starter comes in — either Williams or Garrett Richards. Williams will start Thursday for Class-A Inland Empire, while Richards pitches Thursday at Triple-A Salt Lake City.
Williams, 30, said he considers it an honor to even be competing for a spot.
"One through four, we've probably got the best rotation in baseball, and I'm just happy to be part of that," he said. "I hope to learn from those guys, and hopefully I can teach them some stuff too."

Report: U.S. Confirms Syria Gave Scuds to Hezbollah
U.S. plans to restore Syria envoy under threat after claims Damascus supplied militants with advanced missiles.
United States officials have confirmed Israeli allegations that Syria supplied Hezbollah with ballistic missiles capable of inflicting heavy damage on Israel's cities, according to reports in the United States Wednesday.
U.S. officials briefed on the intelligence told the Wall Street Journal that they believe Syria transferred Scud missiles built with either North Korean or Russian technology to the Lebanese militant group.
The American confirmation comes after Israel on Tuesday publicly accused Syria over the missiles.
"Syria claims that it wants peace, while simultaneously delivering Scud missiles to Hezbollah, which is constantly threatening the security of the state of Israel," President Shimon Peres told Israel Radio.
Later the same day, he said: "Syria is playing a double game. On the one hand it talks peace, yet at the same time it hands over accurate Scud missiles to Hezbollah so that it can threaten Israel."
The allegations are already having repercussions on Washington's efforts to restore full diplomatic ties with Damascus. According to the Journal report, senior Republican politicians will press the U.S. Congress to block plans to reappoint an ambassador to Syria.
President Barack Obama in January decided to return a U.S. ambassador to Syria after a four-year absence, appointing Arabic-speaking diplomat Robert Ford to the task of wooing Damascus away from its closest ally, Iran.
But allegations over the Scuds have led to calls for Obama to rethink his policy of conciliation.
"It's increasingly hard to argue that the engagement track has worked," the Journal quoted Andrew Tabler, a Syria analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, as saying.
The House of Representatives Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday approved Ford's nomination, but three Republican senators registered their objection.
The Washington Post quoted congressional aides as saying that a full floor vote may be delayed until the administration can provide answers to the Israeli allegations.
Government officials responded to speculation by saying that provocations such as the Scud transfer made a U.S. diplomatic presence in Syri all the more necessary.
"If anything, we need (an ambassador) in Damascus full time just to ensure that reality gets its day in court now and then," the Wall Street Journal quoted a senior administration official as saying.

Customer Reviews
I honestly love this game.
At first, I was thinking that I wasted my money. Now that I have almost finished this game, I absolutely love it. I read other reviews and they seem to be negative, so I guess it depends on what you like from a game. I never would've thought I liked this game but I do very much. It may be "long" and "waiting on stuff" but its not. You can get everything done in a few hours probably. It's not very long if you actually put thought into the game and figure out what you're supposed to do and how. It does take a bit of thinking so if you like to mindlessly play your games, this one isn't for you. I would def recommend this game for 99 cents.
Becomes a grind
This game starts off wonderful. Beautiful music, mystery, fun graphics, humor, and a sense of wonder.
That disappears over time, when you realize that you'll spend most of your time wandering around, even when you do know what you need to do. Sometimes you'll even have to wait for certain phases of the moon. The real moon. You can change the phase in game, but it involves (once again) a lot of walking around.
The scope of this game was too large for the landscape, and developers got creative to make it longer. It's clever, but it's just far too tedious. I've had this game for some time, and I never got around to beating it. I haven't deleted it because I always said "maybe someday" but I'm now realizing "someday" will never come.
One of my favorite games ever
I rarely review things, and I've never once reviewed a game, but this game is brilliant; I'm surprised at how much I love it…I find myself halting gameplay so that I can savor it, draw it out as long as possible. Nostalgia is a word that gets thrown around a lot describing this game, and while there is some truth to it having a certain degree of nostalgia its also a new experience, the only thing I've ever played that really did a similar thing is Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. If you love those experiences this is perfect for you.

NC GOP Rep Goes Birther at Town Hall Gathering
|Rep. Larry Pittman (R-NC)
"Someone had posted something [on Facebook] with a picture of Barack Obama and across it said 'traitor.' And, you know, I don't always agree with the guy, I certainly didn't vote for him but I gotta defend him on this one. I just don't think it's right at all to call Barack Obama a traitor. There's a lot of things he's done wrong but he is not a traitor. Not as far as I can tell. I haven't come across any evidence yet that he has done one thing to harm Kenya."
~Rep. Larry Pittman (R-NC) speaking to a town hall crowd in Concord, NC earlier this week
