A Blue Plaque promotes the history of a building and some of its notable inhabitants. It is also a recognised symbol of national English heritage and has been successively run by the Royal Society of Arts, the London County Council, the Greater London Council and, since 1986, English Heritage.
The national plaque scheme commemorated the link between notable figures of the past and the buildings in which they lived and worked. It was a uniquely successful means of connecting people and places across Britain. The key objective of the British Plaque Trust (BPT) is to commemorate the lives and successes of notable figures by recognising the buildings and places which they inhabited.
The scheme is an endorsement of British innovation, creativity and success throughout history.
We would be delighted to hear from you if you wish to attend some of the special days being organised, or if you might consider sponsoring or generally supporting the new endeavours of the British Plaque Trust.
The lengthy process of selecting locations for future blue plaques involves many individual steps and each step must receive approval before moving forward. In addition, there is the cost of the plaque itself: obviously each one is unique. Individual sponsors are required to cover the schemes funding because it is a charity. Each plaque requires an initial proposer, a researcher, and a committee to manage the various applications (not all proposals will be suitable after research), the research of the building, its occupants and the commemorated subject.
An administrator is commissioned to manage each application and proposal. The building owner who (all being well) gives their consent to the plaque must be researched, approached and provide consent. A representative of the local planning authority (who will need to be consulted by the Trust), is also consulted to clarify local council criteria for approval (if appropriate). The property concerned may be a listed building; in such cases, listed building consent for the plaque will need to be sought from the local planning authority.
A copywriter is then commissioned to compose a plaque inscription, and a designer consulted for the layout of the approved wording and the plaque's position on the proposed building. The plaque manufacturer needs to be consulted and commissioned timely with the relevant data provided, and a contractor responsible for the plaque's installation is appointed.
Finally, a suitable venue is sought for the public reception relating to the unveiling ceremony, and an event organiser is required to manage catering, crowd control and other final details.
Design of Blue Plaque – specification
The commemorative plaques' normal criteria are:
Shape – circular
Dimensions – 38cm diameter
Wording – typeface/illustrations – Succinct text
Colour – dark blue with white lettering (BS 18E53)
Material – cast aluminium.
HMV's iconic "Nipper" – 126 Piccadilly
Nipper was used in the company's headed notepaper from 1909 with both the painting and the title being registered as a trademark in 1910. In 1900 5,000 copies of the painting were printed on postcards and sold for 12/6d each. There is even an early film, made when Queen Victoria was still on the throne in 1900, of a Nipper tribute dog. Elvis was one of many 50s artists who began their careers on the label where they were cheek by jowl with Nipper. And in the States Nipper featured on the RCS Victor label alongside the King. And he wasn't the only king. Nipper hobnobbed with George V.
126 Piccadilly has long been part of the Cavalry & Guards Club, which is where this plaque to Nipper was erected in October 2014 by the British Plaque Trust.
Tin Pan Alley – Denmark Street
On Sunday April 6th the British Plaque Trust unveiled a Blue Plaque at The Giaconda, 9, Demmark St, London, the street known as 'Tin Pan Alley'. The plaque honours songwriters and publishers to whom this street was home between 1911 and 1992. Many of the world's most famous songwriters and publishers attended to witness Donovan, inductee of the US Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and US Songwriters Hall of Fame, unveil the plaque. The multi-million selling artist wrote and recorded a song for the occasion, called 'Tin Pan Alley' which he performed on the day.
Most of Denmark Street's music shops opened for the occasion, with specific thank to:
Rose Morris – Hanks – Tom Guitars – Regent Sounds
Music Room – Macari's – Westside Wunjo Guitars – Sax
Founding Fathers Plaque – Wembley Stadium
On October 21st 2013 at Wembley Stadium, the British Plaque Trust was proud to partner the English Football Association in dedicating a 150th anniversary commemorative plaque to the Founding Fathers who set down the original rules of the game in 1863.
The Trust Chairman, Mike Read, gave one of the addresses along with former England player Sir Trevor Brooking CBE, Director of Football Development at the FA, who unveiled the plaque with the youngest of the descendants relations, eight-year-old Isaac Lord.
The guests at Wembley Stadium included Sir William and Lady McAlpine, the McAlpines having built the original Wembley Stadium as part of the Empire Exhibition in 1923. The other Trustees Vanessa Brady, Ian Freeman and Major (retd) Ian Mattison were pleased to be present as was a descendant of one of the Founding Fathers who travelled from New Zealand for this unveiling.
The plaque has a tag attached which visitors may scan with ther mobile phones to read the history of the founding of the FA and download supporting pictures.

Tangled - Disney's animators let down their hair to give the fairytale musical a makeover
Disney notches up its 50th animated movie with Tangled and does so in style, taking the tried and true form of the fairytale musical and giving it just enough of a modern makeover to fit the 21st century.
The story is the Brothers Grimm tale of Rapunzel and the studio's animators have ruffled and teased that a bit too. Heroine Rapunzel (voiced by Mandy Moore) is now a princess, abducted at birth by wicked enchantress Mother Gothel (Broadway star Donna Murphy) and kept locked in a tower for 18 years. Gothel's convinced Rapunzel she's her loving mother, protecting her from the wicked outside world, but she's really only interested in Rapunzel's magical, golden hair – all 70 feet of it – which keeps the crone eternally young.
In days of old, Rapunzel's saviour would be a prince. Here, instead, it's rascally thief Flynn Rider (Zachary Levi) who turns up, and his arrival launches the pair on a series of spirited adventures involving various crooks, thugs and an unstoppable police horse with a zealous sense of duty.
Delivered with zip, these are great fun. But it's Rapunzel's journey to maturity – accompanied by violently see-sawing emotions that the film's teen and tween audience will recognise – which provides the story's core. The songs – by Disney veteran Alan Menken - are tuneful, if not particularly memorable, but the computer-generated animation has a delightful painterly feel, while the sparingly used 3D comes into its own in an enchanting scene in which the night sky fills with floating lanterns.
On general release from 28th January.
BFI Southbank is screening all 50 Disney animated movies this year.

San Jose's ACE Charter High School has experienced a bumpy first year. It had hoped to do "blended learning", mixing technology and traditional teaching for kids in one of San Jose's toughest neighborhoods. But ACE opened in August without textbooks, student Internet access or lunch tables -- and chaos in some classes. Two-thirds of the teachers lacked a full teaching credential and many did not have the skills to control unruly students. Half the starting staff, including the principal, have left.

Although it has already been explicitly stated in two letters from the federal government, Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Chief Counsel Dorval Carter on Monday reiterated that if Cincinnati were to unravel the $132.8 million streetcar project, the city would lose $40.9 million in federal grants and another $4 million in federal funds would be transferred to the state government, which could appropriate the money to any project in Ohio.
The clarification is necessary because Mayor-elect John Cranley and a majority of the incoming City Council are looking into pausing and potentially canceling the streetcar project once they take office in December. Cranley says he will lobby the federal government to reallocate the federal funds, even though the federal government has repeatedly insisted it's not going to happen.
Carter joined City Council's Budget and Finance Committee on the phone on Monday to walk council members through the legal technicalities involved in cancellation and how the federal government would react to such circumstances.
According to Carter, merely delaying the project at this point would break the city's agreement with the federal government and lead the federal government to restrict the federal funds, ask the city to repay the money it already spent or terminate the deal altogether.
Still, Carter said cancellation might not hurt the city's chances, at least from a legal perspective, of obtaining federal funds for other projects.
"It will not preclude you from pursuing other projects," he said. "You would just have to pursue those on their own merits."
But Carter agreed with Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls that the city's credibility could be weakened if the streetcar project were canceled.
President Barack Obama's administration has prioritized light rail projects like the streetcar, according to Carter, so the reclaimed federal money would likely go to other cities pursuing similarly ambitious transit projects.
At a press conference following the council meeting, Cranley appeared unfazed by the news.
"If we have to, we'll give the money back," he said.
Although much noise was made about the council meeting, there wasn't much news in the way of substance. The federal government already outlined the cancellation costs in separate letters sent to Mayor Mark Mallory in June and earlier in November.
At first glance, it might seem like a rail line between downtown Cincinnati and the city of Milford would earn support from the same people who back the $132.8 million streetcar project, but streetcar supporters, including advocacy group Cincinnatians for Progress, say they oppose the idea and its execution.
Critics of the overall project, called the Eastern Corridor, recently pointed to a November study from HDR. Despite flowery language promising a maximized investment, HDR found seven of 10 stations on the $230-$322 million Oasis rail line would result in low economic development, five of 10 stations would provide low access to buses and bikes, and the intercity line would achieve only 3,440 daily riders by 2030.
HDR's findings for the Oasis line stand in sharp contrast to its study of Cincinnati's streetcar project. The firm found the streetcar line in Over-the-Rhine and downtown would generate major economic development and a 2.7-to-1 return on investment over 35 years.
Given the poor results for the Oasis line, streetcar
supporters say local officials should ditch the Oasis concept and
instead pursue the 2002 MetroMoves plan and an expansion of the
streetcar system through a piecemeal approach that would create a central transit spine through the region.
"To have (the Oasis line) be our first commuter rail piece in Cincinnati … just doesn't make sense to me," says Derek Bauman, co-chair of Cincinnatians for Progress.
MetroMoves spans across the entire city and region, with the rail line along I-71 from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport to downtown Cincinnati to King's Island fostering particularly high interest.
Voters rejected the MetroMoves plan and the sales tax hike it involved in 2002, but streetcar supporters say public opinion will shift once the streetcar becomes reality in Cincinnati.
"That's been proven in other cities, especially ones that have not historically been transit-oriented," Bauman says, pointing to Houston and Miami as examples of cities that built spines that are now being expanded.
Opposition to the Oasis line is also more deeply rooted in a general movement against the Eastern Corridor project. The unfunded billion-dollar project involves a few parts: relocating Ohio 32 through the East Side, the Oasis rail line and several road improvements from Cincinnati to Milford.
Supporters of the Eastern Corridor claim it would ease congestion, at least in the short term, and provide a cohesiveness in transportation options that's severely lacking in the East Side.
Opponents argue the few benefits, some of which both sides agree are rooted in legitimate concerns, just aren't worth the high costs and various risks tied to the project.
"When it comes to widening roads and highways, it's kind of like loosening your belt at Thanksgiving. Somehow traffic always fills to fit," Bauman says. "Highway expansion, especially in urban areas, is not the future. It's not even the present in some areas."
The big concern is that the relocation of Ohio 32 might do to the East Side and eastern Hamilton County what I-75 did to the West Side, which was partly obliterated and divided by the massive freeway.
"It hurts the cohesiveness of our communities when you create these big divides," Bauman argues. "You would see that repeat itself."
Officials are taking feedback for the Eastern Corridor and Oasis rail line at EasternCorridor.org.
This article was updated to use more up-to-date figures for the cost of the Oasis rail line.
In the past few days, local media outlets have reported heavily on a supposed conflict between Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) and the city of Cincinnati. Essentially, SORTA wants the transit fund limited, while the city government says it doesn't want to "undermine the city charter" with limitations.
At its heart, the argument is a political back-and-forth with little consequence. It's two government agencies at a small divide over legalese in an intergovernmental agreement about how the streetcar will operate and how it will be funded.
The specific issue is SORTA, which runs the Metro bus
system and will operate the streetcar, wants to include phrasing in its
agreement with the city that makes it so the transit fund can't be used
for the streetcar. In a 7-6 vote Tuesday, SORTA's board pushed its preferred wording along with an application for an $11 million federal grant that will help fund the streetcar.
But the city government claims the limitation would go against the spirit of the city charter, which says the transit fund can be used for "public transit purposes generally and without limitation."
UPDATE: City Council on Wednesday passed a resolution promising not to use Metro bus money on the streetcar, although it has no legal standing preventing council from later coming back and using transit funds for the streetcar.
Still, Mayor Mark Mallory's office has insisted time and time again that funding for the streetcar's construction and operation is already allocated, so taking any money from the transit fund will be unnecessary. Specifically, the city will tap into casino revenue to operate the streetcar, on top of the $11 million federal grant.
In an op-ed for The Cincinnati Enquirer Monday, Mallory said the real issue goes back to an ongoing lawsuit between SORTA and the city. In 2010, the city diverted money from the transit fund to pay for street lights. That prompted a lawsuit from SORTA, asking the courts to define the limits of the transit fund.
The mayor's office sees the wording from SORTA as an attempt from the transit agency to score a minor victory in the legal battle. If the city government accepted the wording, it would be agreeing to a limited transit fund, which is essentially what SORTA wants.
SORTA's wording also makes it so all transit fund money will continue going to the Metro bus system, which is the agency's sole service today.
But even SORTA says the disagreement is getting blown out of proportion by media outlets and public officials. Sallie Hilvers, spokesperson for SORTA, says the wording in the approved agreement was the board's attempt to ensure the transit fund isn't used for the streetcar, but, for the most part, it's "really just procedures."
Hilvers insisted the disagreement over wording has plenty
of time to be worked out, and it will not hinder collaboration between
the city of Cincinnati and SORTA.
The agreement will need to be worked out before summer 2013 for the streetcar to stay on track.
A review of the fine print in Ohio law could spell trouble for Duke Energy in its dispute with Cincinnati about who must pay to move utility lines to accommodate the city's streetcar project.
Readers of CityBeat's March 6 cover story know that one of the legal arguments made by Duke Energy is that it said the system qualifies as a utility itself under Ohio law. And one utility has no legal obligation to reimburse another utility, Duke added.
City officials disagree with Duke's interpretation, and the two sides currently are trying to negotiate a compromise to the impasse.
The city is willing to pay $6 million to relocate Duke's natural gas, chilled water, fiber and electrical infrastructure along the streetcar route, but the firm insists it will cost at least $18.7 million and possibly more.
A close reading of the Ohio Revised Code (ORC), however, reveals it is unlikely that a streetcar system qualifies as a "public utility."
Under Ohio law, the following items are defined as public utilities:
"A motor transportation company, when engaged in the business of carrying and transporting persons or property or the business of providing or furnishing such transportation service, for hire, in or by motor-propelled vehicles of any kind, including trailers, for the public in general, over any public street, road, or highway in this state." ORC §4905.03
But motor-propelled vehicles aren't defined under Ohio law. The ORC does, however, define "motor vehicle" as:
"(B) "Motor vehicle" means any vehicle, including mobile homes and recreational vehicles, that is propelled or drawn by power other
than muscular power or power collected from overhead electric trolley wires.
"Motor vehicle" does not include utility vehicles as defined in division (VV)
of this section, motorized bicycles, road rollers, traction engines, power
shovels, power cranes, and other equipment used in construction work and not
designed for or employed in general highway transportation, well-drilling
machinery, ditch-digging machinery, farm machinery, and trailers that are
designed and used exclusively to transport a boat between a place of storage
and a marina, or in and around a marina, when drawn or towed on a public road
or highway for a distance of no more than ten miles and at a speed of
twenty-five miles per hour or less." ORC
"(B) "Motor vehicle" means any vehicle, including mobile homes and recreational vehicles, that is propelled or drawn by power other than muscular power or power collected from overhead electric trolley wires. "Motor vehicle" does not include utility vehicles as defined in division (VV) of this section, motorized bicycles, road rollers, traction engines, power shovels, power cranes, and other equipment used in construction work and not designed for or employed in general highway transportation, well-drilling machinery, ditch-digging machinery, farm machinery, and trailers that are designed and used exclusively to transport a boat between a place of storage and a marina, or in and around a marina, when drawn or towed on a public road or highway for a distance of no more than ten miles and at a speed of twenty-five miles per hour or less." ORC §4501.01(B)
Streetcars operate using overhead trolley wires, thus they aren't considered motor vehicles under Ohio law. But do they even qualify as vehicles? The ORC defines vehicles as:
"(A) "Vehicles" means everything on wheels or runners, including motorized bicycles, but does not mean electric personal assistive mobility devices, vehicles that are operated exclusively on rails or tracks or from overhead electric trolley wires, and vehicles that belong to any police department, municipal fire department, or volunteer fire department, or that are used by such a department in the discharge of its functions." ORC §4501.01(A)
Of course, streetcars run on rails and use power from electric
trolley wires. So, they aren't vehicles either. The conclusion: Either "motor-propelled vehicles" mean the same as "motor
vehicles" (in which case it doesn't apply to streetcars) or "motor-propelled"
is an adjective to "vehicle" (which also doesn't apply, as streetcars aren't
vehicles). In each instance, a streetcar system doesn't fall into the legal realm of a "motor transportation company" and therefore isn't a "public utility."

By now anyone who's interested in Cincinnati politics probably has heard about the insensitive and over-the-top comment posted Sept. 11 on Twitter by a leader of an anti-streetcar group.
Mark Miller, treasurer for the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), posted the following:
3% of FDNY died 10 yrs ago by terrorism. Today Cincinnati lost 17.5% of fire companies by brownout to pay for a streetcar. Which is worse?
Traffic can be awful — not just for drivers, but economies
and the environment as well. A study released Tuesday by the Texas A&M Institute
of Transportation found Cincinnati lost about $947 million in 2011 to delays on the road, coming in at No. 27 nationwide.
The Annual Urban Mobility Report also ranked Cincinnati No. 37 nationwide for extra time stuck in traffic, with the average Cincinnati commuter spending an extra 37 hours on the road in 2011. In comparison, the average Columbus commuter spent 40 extra hours in traffic in 2011, and the typical Cleveland commuter spent 31 extra hours. For all three cities, estimates were unchanged from 2010.
Traffic jams also have a major impact on climate change. According to the report, congestion caused cars to produce an extra
56 billion pounds of carbon dioxide nationwide, with Cincinnati commuters producing 421
million pounds.
The report shows why it's important for governments to reduce traffic congestion with transit projects like the Cincinnati streetcar. In general, public transportation leads to less congestion by taking cars off the road as people use buses, streetcars and trains instead. But some cities have taken it even further. By adopting exclusive lanes for buses and streetcars, cities like San Francisco have made public transportation more attractive, which makes people more likely to forsake their own cars in favor of public alternatives.
Despite promising to
move on after he failed to cancel the $132.8 million streetcar
project, Mayor John Cranley continues criticizing the
project in interviews and social media.
Most recently, Cranley appeared on Local 12's Newsmakers program and threatened
to eventually replace the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA)
board, which manages local Metro bus services, in response to board members'
defunct offer to take up streetcar operating costs. (City Council sets SORTA
appointments, not the mayor.)
"The fact is they were
willing to cannibalize bus service," Cranley said,
contrary to SORTA's insistence that their offer would not have affected bus
services. "I just felt that was a huge violation of what SORTA is supposed to
be about and what Metro is supposed to be about and what public transportation
is supposed to be about."
Throughout the 24-minute
interview, Cranley referenced the
streetcar project when discussing the city's parking meters and other subjects
— a continuation of repetitive anti-streetcar tactics Cranley
deployed on the campaign trail and in mayoral debates against former Vice Mayor
Roxanne Qualls.
"I think the project is
wasteful and not worth the investment," Cranley said
when asked about the project. "I think we would have been better off making the
hard decision to cut bait."
Still, Cranley later added, "Obviously, since the supermajority of
council went against my wishes, I have to respect the process. So I'm not going
to try to sabotage the streetcar."
The interview also
follows comments on social media. After the former head of the Cincinnati Art
Museum criticized the streetcar, Cranley tweeted on Dec. 27, "(N)ow some Orwellian commentators
will say art director not 'progressive.'"
The continued anti-streetcar rhetoric comes despite promises to move on that Cranley made after Councilman Kevin Flynn announced he would provide the final vote needed to veto-proof City Council's decision to continue the streetcar project.
"As I tell my son when he doesn't get his way, it's time to move on," Cranley
said on Dec. 19.
But Cranley's
heated rhetoric is nothing new in his campaign against the streetcar project.
After the Nov. 5
election, Cranley told The Cincinnati Enquirer
the streetcar debate "is over." Cranley's comments
marked a high level of confidence after voters elected a mayor and council
supermajority that seemingly opposed the streetcar project, but his statement
to The Enquirer proved to be wrong after Council Members Flynn, David
Mann and P.G. Sittenfeld decided to continue the
Cranley also called city officials "incompetent" after
they projected that canceling the streetcar project would cost nearly as much as
completing it. Once again, Cranley's comments proved
to be wrong — an independent audit found city officials were largely correct in
their assessment — but still showed the level of confident, heated rhetoric
that follows the mayor's campaign against the streetcar project.
At the very least, Cranley's rhetoric proves that while the policy debate over the streetcar is over for now, the public discussion is not. The question is whether the messaging will work as the project moves forward and the streetcar becomes a reality of Cincinnati.
The company in charge of building Cincinnati's streetcars says the city would incur substantial costs if it cancels the streetcar project after it's already gone through some construction and design work.
The Nov. 30 letter from CAF USA Vice President Virginia Verdeja to former Mayor Mark Mallory arrived just one day before Mayor John Cranley, who opposes the streetcar project, and an anti-streetcar majority were sworn in.
"CAF will have to recover all the incurred expenses as well as all the additional cost of cancelling the contract, which would be substantial too," Verdeja writes in the letter.
The letter explains that, on top of the sunk expenses on design work, cancellation would require CAF to pull back on various established deals with subcontractors, which would spur further costs.
For streetcar supporters, the letter renews fears of litigation that could crop up if the project were canceled and contractors decided to pursue their full payday. Those legal costs would fall on the already-strained operating budget that pays for day-to-day services like police and firefighters instead of the capital budget that finances big capital projects like the streetcar, according to city spokesperson Meg Olberding.
The letter was first posted on the Cincinnati Streetcar Facebook page. Its validity was confirmed in an email to CityBeat from former Mallory staffer Jason Barron.
On Nov. 21, Streetcar Project Executive John Deatrick warned the costs of canceling the $132.8 million streetcar project could nearly reach the costs of completion after accounting for $32.8 million in estimated sunk costs through November, a potential range of $30.6-$47.6 million in close-out costs and up to $44.9 million in federal grant money that would be lost if the project were terminated.
Earlier on Sunday, hundreds of streetcar supporters rallied in Washington Park and walked the planned streetcar route in support of the project. They're threatening a referendum if the new City Council moves to pause or cancel the project.
City Council plans to vote on pausing the project on Monday. Because of threats from the federal government that a mere delay could lead to the loss of federal grants, streetcar supporters claim a pause would equate to cancellation.

Updated at 6:13 p.m. with the PDF of the letter.
A local conservative group is making a lot of use of member and lawyer Chris Finney. The Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST) was involved in two lawsuits filed this week: one regarding the Blue Ash Airport deal and another regarding Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS).
Criticism of the Blue Ash Airport deal is not new for COAST. The group has repeatedly criticized the deal, largely because as much as $26 million from the deal will be used to fund Cincinnati's $110 million streetcar. In the past, COAST has repeatedly characterized the streetcar as a "boondoggle."
The deal between Blue Ash and Cincinnati is not new, but it did get reworked earlier this year. In 2006, the $37.5 million deal had Cincinnati selling Blue Ash some land on the Blue Ash Airport property, which Blue Ash would then use to build a park. Blue Ash voters approved the deal, which contained a 0.25 percent earnings tax hike, in a two-to-one margin.
When Cincinnati couldn't get a $10 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the city stopped working on the airport as it became too costly. The city then tried to shift the proceeds from the deal to the Cincinnati streetcar, but the FAA said funding must be used for airports since the property is classified as an airport.
Eventually, Cincinnati asked Blue Ash to rework the deal. The plan was Blue Ash would rescind the deal, and then Cincinnati would officially close down the airport and resell the land to Blue Ash while it's no longer classified as an airport.
At first, city officials said $11 million of the opened-up money would go to the streetcar and $26 million would go to municipal projects. Since then, the city has shifted $15 million of that municipal project funding — supposedly temporarily — to help Duke Energy move underground utility lines from the path of the proposed streetcar route, at least until the city and energy company can work out an ongoing feud.
The reworked deal, which was approved by Blue Ash City Council in a 6-1 vote on Aug. 9, seemed like a win-win for both sides. Cincinnati would get more funding for ongoing projects, and Blue Ash netted $2.25 million from the deal — $250,000 to cover fees for Blue Ash's new park and $2 million was subtracted from the deal since Blue Ash would no longer have to match the FAA grant.
But COAST does not approve. The organization doesn't want any funding redirected to the streetcar, and it claims the reworked deal is not allowed. The lawsuit filed by Blue Ash resident Jeffrey Capell and Finney cites a section of the Blue Ash City Charter that disallows some contracts: "No contract shall be made for a term longer than five years, except that franchises for public utility services and contracts with other governmental units for service to be received or given may be made for any period no longer than twenty years."
Mark Vander Laan, Blue Ash's city solicitor, says the city charter section the lawsuit is referencing is irrelevant. He argues the deal is not a contract as the city charter defines it; instead, it's a mortgage and debt instrument. In the Blue Ash City Charter, there's another section that deals with debt instruments, and that's what the rescinded deal falls under, according to Vander Laan. He says the city would not function as it does today if the lawsuit's claim was correct: "If that were the case, all the bonds we've ever issued would have been incorrect."
Vander Laan says the real issue here is disapproval of the streetcar, not any legal technicalities: "They may have a complaint about the streetcar, but that's not the city of Blue Ash's issue at all. We don't think it's even an appropriate basis to challenge this."
He added, "Frankly, if somebody had an issue with (the deal), they should have taken that issue back in 2006 and 2007." That's when Blue Ash voters first approved the airport deal, but back then, the money wasn't going to the streetcar, which didn't even exist at the time.
In another legal battle, COAST filed a lawsuit against CPS over staff allegedly campaigning for Issue 42, a ballot initiative that will renew a CPS levy voters approved in 2008. The case goes back to 2002, when Tom Brinkman, chairman of COAST, sued CPS for "illegal and unconstitutional use of school property for campaign purposes," according to the lawsuit. That case ended in a settlement, which forced CPS to enter into a "COAST Agreement" that says, "CPS will strictly enforce a policy of preventing … Other Political Advertisements on CPS Property."
But COAST now says that agreement has been broken, and the
lawsuit cites emails as evidence. The emails show staff promoting voter
registration drives, which aren't directly linked to Issue 42, and
staff offering to contribute and volunteer to the campaign. In the
emails, there are a few instances of Jens Sutmoller, Issue 42's campaign
coordinator, asking CPS staff to give him personal emails, which shows
he was trying to avoid breaking any rules.
In CityBeat's experience, CPS officials have been pretty strict with following the settlement with COAST. In a Sept. 20 email, Janet Walsh, spokesperson for CPS, told CityBeat she could not provide some levy-related information during work hours: "Yes, but due to constraints about doing levy-related work on work time (we can't), it may have to wait until I can get on my home computer."
COAST has endorsed a "No" vote on Issue 42. In CityBeat's
in-depth look into CPS and Issue 42 ("Battered But Not Broken," issue
of Oct. 3), Brinkman defended COAST's position by saying they're not
necessarily against the school getting funding. COAST is more
interested in holding the school accountable: "It's a five-year levy.
The reason we have five-year levies is so the public can gauge after
four or four and a half years how the entity where the taxes are going
to is doing with the money." In that sense, for COAST, it's important to
bring the levy renewal to voters as late in the game as possible —
November 2013 in this case. CityBeat this week endorsed a "Yes" vote on Issue 42 here.
Criticism of CPS levies is also not new for COAST. The group campaigned against last year's new, permanent $49.5 million levy, which CPS said it needed to meet new technology needs and keep some buildings open.
Mayor Mark Mallory last
night announced during his State of the City address that the city
has chosen the model and vendor for the first batch of streetcars.
The mayor's office today released details about the vendor, along with renderings of the streetcars Cincinnatians can expect to see traversing the 4-mile
loop that will cover 18 stops connecting The Banks, Government Square, Fountain
Square, Broadway Commons, the Gateway Quarter and Music Hall.
According to the release,
the vendor, CAF USA, has produced light rail vehicles for Pittsburgh,
Sacramento and Houston and streetcar vehicles for the international
cities such as Besançon and Nantes, France; Belgrade, Serbia;
Antalya, Turkey; Stockholm, Sweden; Edinburgh, Scotland; and Spanish
cities Zaragoza, Granada, Sevilla, Bilbao and Vitoria.
Officials in February broke ground the Cincinnati Streetcar system, and the city hopes to add additional phases connecting the Uptown area near the University of Cincinnati once funding is secured.
The following are renderings released by the city:

Pepperdine Student, Steve Padis, was tired of using outdated, inefficient tools to collaborate with his classmates. His professor was using thumb drives and CDs to distribute and collect exam information from his class - a process that was complicated, expensive and not at all user-friendly. What he needed was a tool simple enough for his classmates, yet still secure enough for his professor to use for administering tests. He decided to conduct an experiment: Test out multiple collaboration solutions (one of which was Box) and allow his classmates and professor to rank them based on a variety of factors. The Result? Box came out on top, with Steve receiving an overwhelming number of positive responses about implementing Box in the classroom.
Here's what he had to say about taking his class to the cloud:
"Our research project on classroom agility and the velocity of communication within the educational setting involves three professors and three students, including myself. After an extensive assessment in the summer, we chose Box.net as the file sharing and collaboration interface we found most useful for the learning environment and implemented the tool to manage over forty students through project collaboration, material distribution and material collection. Box completely streamlined the process of online exam distribution and collection, and most importantly, did not compromise the integrity of the exam. The students enjoyed Box's simplicity, and appreciated the ability to communicate and collaborate more effectively with one another. I want to thank Box for providing us with the opportunity to utilize such a wonderful educational tool in the classroom."
With Box, Steve's classes went entirely paperless, saved countless hours and ditched physical media like CDs and thumb drives. Even cooler, the cloud made Steve and his classmates more productive than ever. During winter break (a time students normally reserve for forgetting about school), they used Box to trade PowerPoint presentations and collaborate on group projects. As for Steve's professor, she'll use Box with a different group of students this Spring semester - empowering an entirely new group of cloud converts.
Have you used the cloud to give your organization a jump-start? The Box team wants to hear about it! Shoot us an email at email@example.com or tweet at us @boxdotnet - we're listening.

Thomasville, GA - The Thomas County Sheriff's Office tell us the phones have been ringing off of the hook lately. The office said people have been calling in to say scammers with Jamaican accents are calling them to tell them they've won the Publishers Clearning House sweepstakes.
"We've had a lot of calls last week and over the weekend, beware of free money, beware, beware, beware," said Captain Steve Jones, Thomas County Sheriff's Office Spokesperson.
The Sheriff's Office received about three dozen calls and two scammers even called Captain Jones this weekend on his work phone. He told us he went along with them for a little while.
"I said I'm just going to find out what he does, so I hung up the phone and layed it down and it wasn't two minutes later he called me right back, you hung up on me I said we got disconnected where were we," said Captain Jones.
Captain Jones said the scammers told him he had to purchase a prepaid debit card specifically a Green Dot Card from CVS in order to retrieve his winnings. It was shortly after that he told them he worked in law enforcement.
"Finally I spilled the beans on him, I told him I was in law enforcement and he said well don't you still want to claim your prize. I let him know that it was a scam and I knew what he was doing and he said some words and hung up on me," said Captain Jones.
The Sheriff's Office tell us organizations like the Publishers Clearing House will never ask you to pay money in order to receive your winnings.

FROM Molière to Bossuet is less of a jump than Bossuet for one might have wished to admit. In their totally opposite ways, they were both dealing with very much the same problem: that of making contemporary society see the truth about itself and profit thereby. To this end Molière used entertainment, Bossuet high seriousness, but each in his own way was equally concerned to instruct. Bossuet's ultimate aim was, of course, to bring men to God, but he belongs to the present series of studies because he devoted a good deal of time to dealing with the various obstacles put up by individuals and society against true religion, and particularly because not the least influential part of his teaching concerns relationships in this world. Alone of all the authors to be considered here Bossuet was a full member of the seventeenthcentury Establishment. Retz and La Rochefoucauld, who were qualified by birth, were debarred through political adventure, and those who were accepted at Court, Corneille and Molière, were there only in a capacity limited by class and profession. The Church continued as always to offer a career genuinely open to all talents. Bossuet's position was in some ways an anomalous one; he was probably eclipsed as an orator by Bourdaloue, he was certainly not the leading historian or theologian of his age, episcopal preferment never carried him farther than the geographically convenient, but hierarchically inferior, see of Meaux, he was not confessor to either King or Queen, though for eleven years tutor to their son, and yet he acted on several occasions as spokesman for the Church in France and for much of his life enjoyed an influence unsurpassed by his ecclesiastical superiors. Perhaps most anomalous is the deep gulf between his private spiritual leanings and the public utterances to which his position committed him.
His significance in the picture of Louis XIV's reign derives from the uniquely privileged position he occupied for so many years at Court. Though his criticism of Court life was unsparing,

The second-best scenario is for BYU to go independent, and make it work. That means finding a solid landing spot in a reorganized WAC or another "concession-giving" conference that allows a similar deal for BYU's non-football sports. This gives BYU an opportunity to partner with ESPN and use its new studios to broadcast sporting events. If BYU has gone a few steps down the road with ESPN, it is a partner you do not walk away from. ESPN has the ability to walk into the BCS boardroom, open a brief case and change the climate instantly. Same with bowl games and schedules.
The third-best situation, in my opinion, is for a "concession-giving" MWC to re-work the TV contract to allow the only team in the league with the capability of creating and using a facility like this one the right to do so; a net gain of exposure for both. If this goes forward and if BYU can influence the agenda, it should insist Utah State become a 12th member.
This third option is what partners would do. If it fails, jealously and name-calling will wreck reconciliation.
What is unacceptable for BYU, in my opinion, is the status quo. And I predict it will not stand.
It is a situation where several schools that have brought very little to the MWC since its inception have an equal vote and the league's broadcast partner has failed to negotiate a remedy despite many requests. Equal votes? That's not the case in the Pac-10 nor the Big 12.
That sounds unfair, some call it arrogant, but that's reality.
Another face to all of this is a possible nova of sorts. If BYU doesn't declare independence by Sept. 1, wouldn't it be worth the research by the country's top non-AQ teams to create a league that could earn AQ status by meeting BCS' tough three-step requirement? To do so, the best of the best would have to stand together.
On their own the MWC, WAC and CUSA can never reach BCS AQ status.
Sorry all you non-BCS dreamers who think AQ can be achieved by "doing well."
Not happening. Even if Utah had stayed, it wouldn't happen with the MWC.
That third step, the average ranking of league teams, is specifically designed by the BCS to keep AQ status from ever happening. It is an open manhole cover. The BCS mafia knows the bottom-feeders in those three leagues — teams that rank 100-plus — kill the qualification computation.
Anyone who thinks otherwise, well, they are delusional.
The current situation does not maximize the interests of BYU nor the MWC, which would benefit from the exposure if BYU were free to retains some broadcast rights for it's BYU-TV platform and a potential audience of at least 50 million.
All of this is a boiling cauldron with BYU, the MWC, WAC and college football in general. Nobody can predict the outcome, but the ball is rolling toward an endgame.
This will be an interesting week, indeed.

Opposites Day
I was at AC Moore yesterday and spotted this beautiful pack of two-sided 5x7 designer paper called "The Story of Us." It is SO me! The elegant cream and black, the florals, brocade, and striped patterns, and the splash of rich blue. I couldn't wait for the kids to go to bed, so I could go play. I thought the fancy, schmancy Black-Tie Birdies set from Verve would be the perfect set. (Incidentally, you could stamp these birdies on a dishcloth and they would still look elegant!) Here I stamped on one of the neutral papers in the pack using Versafine Onyx Black, then heat embossed with clear powder. I stamped a second bird, heat embossed, trimmed out his body and popped it up on a dimensional. The wing and bow-tie are stamped on one of the blue papers in this pack, heat embossed and popped up again on dimensionals. Two large clear gems and three lengths of shiny satin and taffeta ribbon complete the elegant look.
I'm usually good for only one card a day, but I wasn't ready to stop, so I made a second card using Verve's Some Bunny set.
I had the best time dressing this sweet little bunny in his denim overalls and engineer's cap - it was just like playing with paper dolls! I free-handed the overalls and cap using some old, old, old denim designer paper made by Frances Meyer. The fuzzy dot ribbon by May Arts is one that I got in a ribbon share through Jody Morrow/texasjodylynn. The bunny is stamped three times and layered up using the paper tole technique. I could see a whole "Some Bunny Accessories" set, couldn't you?
Thanks, as always, for stopping by!

2015-16 CTFD LEARNING COMMUNITY GROUPS (LCGs)
What is a Learning Community Group?
The primary goal of the Center for Teaching and Faculty Development (CTFD): to create opportunities for CCSU faculty to share ideas about teaching techniques, pedagogy and professional development. By sponsoring several Learning Community Groups, each with about 5 to 10 faculty and each centered on a relatively narrow theme or teaching strategy, the Center will link faculty from across departments. Studies show that teachers make the most headway with new strategies when they work together with other faculty in small groups then implement and assess new techniques over one or two terms. The CTFD Learning Community Groups will meet throughout the academic year on a schedule they determine and then report about their work at Faculty Day.
How Do You Join a Learning Community Group?
Contact the coordinator(s) directly, or contact CTFD Director Kara Russell at firstname.lastname@example.com.
CLICK HERE for a description of our 2015-16 LCGs, including coordinator contact information.

CAMERON'S NEW TAG LINE: Tag Heuer tapped actress Cameron Diaz as its new brand ambassador this week. Diaz is not only Tag's new face but also the muse for its new Link Lady collection. On Wednesday, the actress made an appearance in Basel, Switzerland, as Tag's ambassador, wearing a steel and diamond watch from the new line.
"The Link Lady is modern, sexy and elegant, and I'm equally comfortable wearing it on the red carpet or in my day-to-day life," said Diaz. Her partnership with Tag Heuer will also serve to benefit and raise awareness for programs that empower women, including United Nations Women.

This is something of a summary of the short talk I gave at the Allegra Strategies UK Coffee Leader Summit a week or so ago. Please also bear in mind that this talk was directed at the UK market specifically so won't necessarily hold true for other national coffee cultures.
For me this talk was a moment of crystalisation about how I feel about coffee right now, and what I want to focus a lot of my energy on. I had initially planned to talk about how quality focused businesses were doing well right now, but in the process of writing the talk that seemed to shift. I should add a final caveat to this by saying that I do love making and drinking espresso.
My talk was titled "How the coffee industry lost the public's trust, and how good coffee can win it back again."

Hoping these changes aren't too radical here -
- Moved the left arm (our left) so it looked like it was actually attached to the body
- Moved the pink pearls and head so it didn't look like the 'mon was tilting waaay over to the right (our right)
- Attempted to make the head look like it was actually connected to the body (tiny speck of green neck)
- Moved cape over to our left as well
- Copied Retribution's shading onto arms
- Smoothed out legs and body to look somewhat more natural
- Slight shading/anti-aliasing edits all around and other minor tweaks
- Better shading. Seriously.

About Me Budget Shopper
Comments about Self Adhesive Window Vinyl Lace:
It looks very nice on my windows and I used it on a cabinet with glass in the doors and it matches my windows. It looks very nice and adds privacy to both my bedroom and my things in the cabinet are kept out of sight.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Midrange Shopper
Use it for my front door, because its all glass, and my dog barks at every leaf that blows, so we put it on the bottom of the door. And she can't see out.
Great product
By Gwen
from Pearland, Tx.
I ordered film from other catalogs before I ordered this film only because I had their catalogs handy. Big mistake! Did that twice before I finally got the film from m. Kimball. The difference was amazing! It went up so fast and easy. No wasted product. Very few bubbles. A tip is you get what you pay for. Do not order the cheap stuff and a design makes a difference. M. Kimball was the only catalog that actually let me see examples of the different designs rather than just saying "lace". I wanted see "lace". I am so pleased with my front windows!

We have clear, yellow glass fireplace lights, which have always created a bright spot and glare. My husband wanted to etch the glass. I decided to try this self-adhesive frosty, knowing we could remove it should we not like it. It was easy to apply and the results were just what we wanted. We no longer see the bright bulb or have the glare. We now have softer diffused light.
Self Adhesive Window Vinyl frosted
By J
from Grand Rapids, MI
I was excited to find the contact paper. No one sells it anymore. Paper backing stuck to the vinyl. Had to waste it twice before I finally got a piece that would not stick to the paper. Had to take the whole backing off before it could be installed. I know if was inexpensive, but I was very disappointed installing it. Would not recommend it to anyone.
Looks nice

Idrissa's Group
Staff from various school and other government offices within SMT's operational areas come to SMT to seek loans. At the end of each month, these institutions' bursars are directly responsible for deducting the repayment from their salaries and pays SMT on the teachers' behalf. With the help of these loans, these teachers can do or buy things that their mere salaries alone can not do or buy.
The leader of this group of teachers is Idrissa S.. The 32-year-old Idrissa was born in Makeni. He has been in the teaching profession for seven years now. He is married and has two children who are attending primary school and secondary school. Mr. S. is going to use his share of this loan to invest in his farm and to pay his college fees.

Additional Information
About Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT)Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT) is Kiva's oldest field partner in Sierra Leone. SMT began operations in 2002 as a microcredit program of the NGO Child Fund Sierra Leone under a USAID program to assist the reintegration of ex combatants back into their communities. Today, SMT offers group, agricultural, individual and salary loans to micro-entrepreneurs through six branches and one sub-branch in rural, urban, and peri-urban areas. By providing small loans and other financial services, SMT empowers poor clients to generate more income to help their families, improve their wellbeing, and create a more vibrant private small-business sector in Sierra Leone.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Pros: expensive, pathetic service, aggravating, you can be ripped off everywhere, limited access service centers
Cons: Simple repairs only takes them a month to fix a trigger
I have a whole box of Dewalt junk that didn't last (all cordless). Batteries never last a year. Impact wrenches, impact drivers, chargers, finish nailers, and angle grinders that quit running before they were used a year. My drills ran after a year but had problems with weak clamshell kits and wouldn't change speeds or wouldn't hammer anymore. We have 1, 1!!! Dewalt repair center in Phoenix, AZ, (th 4th largest city in the US). They won't honor Ebay sales receipts and when you bring in 8 month old batteries you paid $85 with tax they test them and say these still have voltage on them, no adjustment (14 volts after a full charge??? won't run an 18v tool). My Milwaukee tools are in the mail, hope they work well, otherwise, I will use generic. Dewalt can kiss my a**!! They suck.
