PHILADELPHIA - Bill Cosby has a new TV gig, though it's unlikely to be a ratings winner.
The comedian will appear on several shows and spots on the Philadelphia School District's local-access station and serve as a volunteer creative consultant.
The programming, including some student-produced segments, will include messages on homework, SAT preparation and vignettes about students and their communities.
The creator of "The Cosby Show" said Tuesday that the programming will reinforce lesson plans and give parents the opportunity to talk with their children about education.
"This can become a friend to the kid who finds that he or she is a bit shy or a bit slow in the classroom," he said. "The student can turn to that station to get help, even the student who may not know why he or she needs to be studying."
The station also will show reruns of Cosby's "Picture Pages," a program for preschoolers that originally aired in the late 1970s and '80s.
Cosby, a 66-year-old Philadelphia native, attended the city's public schools and has a bachelor's degree from Temple University and a doctorate in education.
"The great thing about Bill is, not only does he have a passion and a vision for helping children, but he has a way of conveying the truth that is both poignant and humorous," school district CEO Paul Vallas said.
The programming will begin airing in the fall.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Bo Derek is lending her fame to Illinois lawmakers working to keep horses from being slaughtered for human consumption.
The actress, best known for the 1979 movie "10," says horses shouldn't be killed for food in the United States since Americans don't eat horse meat.
Nearly 50,000 horses were slaughtered last year in the United States. The meat was then exported to Europe and Asia to be eaten, according to the National Horse Protection Coalition, an organization for which Derek serves as a spokeswoman.
"I'm not going to judge another culture and what they choose to eat, but I don't see why they have to eat American horses," Derek said Tuesday while standing in front of an aging horse named Lucky who was saved from a slaughtering pen nearly 20 years ago.
The Illinois legislation Derek supports is meant to keep a DeKalb horse slaughtering plant from reopening. Cavel International Inc. was destroyed in a fire two years ago, but it has been rebuilt and is scheduled to reopen this month.
FAIRLESS HILLS, Pa. - Students at Pennsbury High School had a surprise guest at their prom: singer John Mayer.
Mayer's song "Your Body Is a Wonderland" had become sort of a theme for the senior class, and their president, Bob Costa, had been working on getting Mayer for the prom for two years.
The three-song concert happened Saturday, thanks to Costa's lobbying and a book by Michael Bamberger. Intrigued by the school's annual prom parade, Bamberger wrote "Wonderland: The Story of a Prom," about a year in the life of the school's seniors and their quest to have Mayer play for the prom.
Mayer's publicist learned about the students and "Wonderland" and arranged for the surprise show.
MOBILE, Ala. - Mississippi rock band 3 Doors Down announced the creation of The Better Life Foundation, to benefit children in need of food, shelter and medical assistance.
The foundation, which will also work to enhance the lives of children and young adults with special needs, gets its name from the band's 2000 debut album.
"We see it as a start of something really good and we can do a lot with it. It makes us feel good, too, to do it," said lead singer Brad Arnold.
On Monday, Arnold, guitarists Matt Roberts and Chris Henderson and bassist Todd Harrell distributed $90,000 to 16 Gulf Coast charities. The funds were raised at a March concert.
The band's third album is set for release early next year. Arnold said when they hit the road to support the album, $1 from every ticket will go to the foundation.

Day Three
Figment me 43
Marcus DH 40
Jordan DS 11 (eating off the adult menu for the 1st time)
Tuesday, August 26th
Sleeping in and taking the morning easy once again we got to EPCOT today around 11ish. Today was the day we had Le Cellier for lunch! :bounce022: Woo Hoo!
Our plan today was to just do a bit of Future World slowly making our way over to Canada in the World Showcase. We headed straight in to Spaceship Earth (Jordan and I both miss the wand) to see the changes since 2006. Jordan loved the interactive stuff at the end he and I ended up looking rather silly as these futuristic slouches that dont do their own housework!
We spent a little time in the Innoventions Pavillion, but Jordan was disappointed that his favorite robot building place was now gone.:( We then headed to the new The Seas with Nemo and Friends. This is very cute and I think Jordan would have absolutely adored it had he been younger. My favorite part is going the GSC I would almost swear the ride started going backwards! :unsure:
Finally a quick by pass to meet my namesake at Journey Into Immagination :D and then we headed *North* to Canada in the WS. We had ADRs for 2pm, best I could snag in spite of MULTIPLE calls for dinner. Our wait was probably 15 minutes or less, and in that time frame, I saw 4 different couples turned away seeking a table with no ADR. It makes me sad/angry that Disney doesnt make it more clear about how important it is to book early but I thanked my lucky stars that I knew better.:taunt002:
Our waiter was Jeff and we had a fairly nice table afraid I cannot remember what province, but I was pleased it wasnt in a corner or near the kitchen, etc. Jeff was very nice and very attentive. He was also very encouraging and gave opinions and suggestions about anything we asked about. He made sure to mention that smoothies were available as a drink on the DDP and assured us that any little substitutions we might want to make would be no problem. I ordered a strawberry smoothie and both Marcus and Jordan ordered the Sour Apple Freeze. Jordan just LOVED his freeze and Marcus was not unhappy with his choice. My smoothie was also quite tasty. :thumbs_up:
Even though appetizers are no longer available on the DDP, I told Marcus that I was having the cheddar cheese soup no matter what he said. :tongue0011-1: I ordered a bowl since Jordan said he wanted to be able to have some as well. OMG this was everything Ive been led to believe. Soooooo very good! Who needs a spoon? Jordan and I were dunking sourdough and pretzel breadsticks into it and stuffing them in our mouths in a race to see who got the most. Marcus even had a try and admitted it was quite good. (I think he was afraid Jordan and I would turn hostile if he tried for a second bite :lol:) Marcus ordered a cup of the 3 onion soup with crouton and cheese it was also very good, but he was disappointed that the *crouton and cheese* was very small compared to the French Onion soup he was hoping for.
Jeff was great about feeding our breadstick addiction .I dont even want to think about how many of those we put away. :oops: Now on to the entrée I ordered the filet and asked to switch out the risotto with the cream cheese mashed potatoes. Telling Jeff I didnt like mushrooms, he immediately suggested that I wouldnt care for the sauce either, and made note of that. Marcus asked for the New York strip steak and said hed take my risotto. LOL (Mushrooms are one of the few veggies hell eat blech) Jordan was torn between the shaved prime rib and the grilled steak burger...finally settling on the latter with cheddar cheese and added bacon. He also opted for the cream cheese mashed potatoes instead of fries to Jeffs surprise. To stop the torture, I will say only one word divine. :smileyrainbow: Absolutely perfect in every way. Jordan had ingested too many breadsticks and so was only able to eat about half of his burger (knowing dessert was still to come) but Marcus and my plates were devoid of any speck of leftovers.
Finally to dessert! Jordan and I both had decided on this months ago and ordered the chocolate mousse Marcus debated a while and finally settled on the maple crème brulee. Finding room he didnt know still existed Jordan devoured his mousse within minutes. I admit some disappointment in mine just did not live up to my expectations and the superb quality of the rest of the meal. Marcus enjoyed his brulee (and I snuck a quick sample) both of us thought it would be better warm. I had wanted to try a glass of the ice wine...but I just couldn't justify the $20, and I was sooo full.
Jeff brought our bill well over $100, I apologize for not having a closer estimate. We owed roughly $10 for our soups, and I tipped Jeff a generous $25 because I thought he was wonderful. Would we go back? In a hearbeat.:yes:

Latin Name: Allium cepa var. aggregatum
Synonym: Allium cepa Aggregatum Group
Common Names: Yellow Potato Onion, Hill Onion, Mother Onion
Reported Hardiness: Zones 5-8
Description: Yellow Potato Onion, technically speaking, is identical to the shallot, in that it forms clumps of bulbs from a single planted bulb (hence the name "aggregatum"). It differs from the supermarket shallot in that it makes much larger mostly symmetrical bulbs, including the occasional whopper that will be 4″ in diameter. Also known as one of the longest keeping onions, as a well cured bulb will stay fresh for more than one year–if you can keep from eating all of them in that length of time. Typical sharp yellow onion flavor that moderates when cooked.
Cultivation: Grow as with any shallot or other multiplier. The more moisture and fertilizer the onion receives the better the outcome, though the potato onion is totally intolerant of poorly drained soil. The rule of thumb is that small bulbs will produce a few large bulbs, but that large bulbs will produce lots and lots of small bulbs. Produces moderately even in poor sandy soil. Add wood ashes or limestone to sweeten overly acidic soil.
Product: Small bulbs for fall planting.
Shipping Season: September through November. Contact us for more information.
Price: 5 Plants or Bulbs, $4.95 (Counts as one plant for shipping purposes)

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
Stephanie Cristello reviews the exhibition New Work from Kansas City at Carrie Secrist Gallery, Chicago, on view through July 27, 2013. The show features works by Anne Lindberg, Kent Michael Smith, and Paul Anthony Smith.
Cristello writes: "While the exhibition speaks to themes of regionalism, the experience of looking at the three very distinct bodies of work, by three very conceptually and formally different artists, is varied and refreshing. Contrary to my expectations, the visual gaps between the bodies of work are celebrated in the gallery space in terms of installation, and are perhaps the exhibition's greatest strength. The collection of predominantly large to medium scale works also propose a reversal to what one might expect – monumental sized drawings by Lindberg that are anything but preparatory, Kent Michael Smith's deeply layered resin cast paintings that at first appear flat and graphic, and Paul Anthony Smith's altered photographs that seem to be covered in glitter, though the effect is merely a simple material treatment of little tears in the surface of the paper."
Artist Kate Beck blogs about the work of Anne Lindberg. In Lindberg's installations staples and Egyptian cottom thread become atmospheric masses of color. Beck writes: "Anne Lindberg procures line as an element configuring real space, making it universally sensible, plausible -- as drawing is." As in painting, these installations live through a convincing interplay between drawing and color.

Men's Basketball Falls To Temple, 64-47
Feb 16, 2002
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Lynn Greer had 19 points and David Hawkins scored 17 as Temple easily defeated Massachusetts 64-47 Saturday.
Kevin Lyde had 10 points and 10 rebounds and Alex Wesby added 10 points for the Owls (11-13, 8-4 Atlantic 10), who have won five of their last six.
Anthony Anderson had 15 points on five 3-pointers for the Minutemen (10-13, 4-8), who were 16-of-52 (31 percent) from the field and have lost five of their last six.
Massachusetts, which trailed the entire game, went on a 15-2 run midway through the second half and a layup by Kitwana Rhymer made it 47-43 with 10:59 left. Temple then scored the next eight to open up a double-digit advantage again and the Minutemen were unable to get closer than nine in the final 10 minutes.
The Owls scored the first 11 points of the game and held Massachusetts scoreless for the first 5:17. The Temple lead reached 14 in the half and was 11 at the break. Greer had 13 points in the first half.
The game was a disappointing return to Philadelphia for Massachusetts'
first-year coach Steve Lappas after a nine-year career at nearby Villanova
where he was 174-110.

NYC Waterfall Gets Turned On!
Late last night, a tipster spotted a test run of the waterfall on Pier 35 and snapped a picture. Our intial thoughts: So wet! So artsy!
Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles: The falls, they are a-coming! A tipster over at Curbed writes: "I woke up in the wee hours last night and noticed that Olafur Eliasson was testing the waterfall on Pier 35." We'll admit that the falls don't look like they're quite ready to drench us with their artistic glory just yet, but when the spectacle is ready to go and operating at 100 percent, we're sure any concerns about the installation's water pressure (always an important factor!) will be quickly silenced. —Jessica Coen

"The Giver" is the newest young adult novel to get the Hollywood treatment. The film, based on the 1993 novel by Lois Lowry, is due out in theaters on Aug. 15. The process of transferring a novel into a film is complicated one and naturally a few changes between the book and the film must be made. Here we'll give an exhaustive look at five specific ways the book will differ from the movie. The film is described as:
The haunting story of "The Giver" centers on Jonas (Brenton Thwaites), a young man who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Yet as he begins to spend time with The Giver (Jeff Bridges), who is the sole keeper of all the community's memories, Jonas quickly begins to discover the dark and deadly truths of his community's secret past. With this newfound power of knowledge, he realizes that the stakes are higher than imagined – a matter of life and death for himself and those he loves most. At extreme odds, Jonas knows that he must escape their world to protect them all – a challenge that no one has ever succeeded at before. "The Giver" is based on Lois Lowry's beloved young adult novel of the same name, which was the winner the 1994 Newbery Medal and has sold over 10 million copies worldwide."
The characters are older
The characters in the film version of "The Giver" are aged up to 16, which is one way the film differs from the book. This photo shows Brenton Thwaites (Jonas) at Comic-Con promotional event for "The Giver." In the novel, Jonas is 12 years old as are most of the other characters. However, for the movie, the characters are all 16, allowing for more conflict and a bit of romance.
Expanded roles
One major change between the book and the movie is that many characters have expanded roles. The cast features several heavy hitters such as Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep, Katie Holmes and Taylor Swift, and due to this, many of the film's characters have been given much more to do than they ever did in the novel. For example, Streep is playing the community's Chief Elder. In the novel, the Chief Elder has one or two brief scenes with no real depth to the character. In the film, the Chief Elder is the main villain who plays off of Jeff Bridges' The Giver.
More romance
One added bonus to the film versus the movie for those more inclined to romance is the added depth to the flirtation between Jonas and another girl his age, Fiona (Odeya Rush). Lowry promises that the movie won't go overboard in focusing on the relationship, but there will be a bit more to it than what's described in the book.
No grey eyes
In the novel, grey eyes are a distinguishing mark used to tell those in Jonas' community who shares special gifts similar to his. Lowry notes this distinction became too much of a problem when filming, as it would've required making the actors (babies and children included) wear colored contact lenses. Instead, the filmmakers came up with another way to differentiate between those with gifts from the others in the community.
More action
The addition of more action is perhaps the biggest difference between the book and movie versions of "The Giver." Lowry adds,
I have read screenplay after screenplay by various writers trying to adapt the book to the screen and it's been difficult for many reasons, primarily that a bookand a movie are very different mediums. This particular book does not have a lot of action in it. Since the story takes place inside the consciousness of a boy, it is very tough to portray that on the screen. What they needed was a script that would stay true to the themes of the book, but also add an action element to it. I admire Michael for taking on for what must have been quite a challenge for him, and doing it as well as he has."

"Safe and Sound," Taylor Swift's Hunger Games single with country group The Civil Wars (yes, another Nashville group with a Civil War-related name, a trend that hopefully won't trend much farther), doesn't sound much like a Taylor Swift song. It's more ethereal, more floaty–both the instrumentation and Taylor's voice, airier than usual. The track's both a soundtrack single (i.e., a one-off) and a lullaby (i.e. not really conducive to crunchy guitars and big percussion), so you really can't speculate much on Swift's solo direction based on it. It's still an interesting change of pace. We like it.
That said, Swift's first live performance of the track with the antebellum-named duo at the Ryman in Nashville was very much like her performances go: Taylor in sunbeam yellow to The Civil Wars' basic black; her permasmile; her shocked, post-peering reaction to the crowd at the Ryman–"this is so sold-out right now! Do you know that?" So now we know that solo direction's not changing anytime soon. Listen below.

There are only a few more days until the mid-season premiere of "Once Upon a Time" season 3. Even though co-creators Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz have been giving out plenty of spoilers, there are still a lot of questions unanswered. One thing viewers have been wondering is how Hook is going to get Emma to remember. On March 6, Hypable revealed the possible answer.
Warning: If you do not want to know "Once Upon a Time" season 3 spoilers, then stop reading.
On the mid-season finale, Peter Pan's curse could not be stopped, but before Storybrooke was erased, Regina cast a spell on Emma and Henry. The spell cause them to have different memories, happy ones where Emma never gave her son up for adoption. As far as they knew, everything was fine until Hook showed up at their door.
Access Hollywood released a sneak peek of "New York City Serenade," which is the first episode of the second half. In the clip, Emma walks up to Hook and is upset. She wants to know why he sent her to Neal's apartment and how he even knew about him. Hook tells her that he isn't in New York City because of Neal, but because her parents need her help and the entire kingdom has been cursed. He is curious why she came if she thinks he is crazy and she pulls out a camera with Henry's name on the strap. She found it at Neal's apartment and wants to know how it got there. He tells her that Henry must have left it there when they were in New York City the year before. He tells her that the camera is proof that he is telling the truth.
However, Emma wants answers and Hook tells her that if she wants to get back what she lost, then she needs to drink the blue potion he hands to her. She is hesitant, but her eyes and face seem to be curious and desperate for answers at the same time.
How will this blue potion help Emma remember? Will it reverse Regina's spell? Fans will have to wait until "Once Upon a Time" season 3 returns on March 9.

I have two public dedicated web servers that I want load-balanced using windows NLB. I want to take advantage of DFS replication to keep all my files in sync between the two servers.
To do this I need to configure Active Directory, which also requires DNS Server to be installed.
I know I'm a little over my head here, but hopefully I can get some answers on how to correctly set this up.
Can I use the 'dcpromo' wizard to setup a domain controller and DNS Server on my server?
What should I use for the FQDN, my public domain name (DNS setup externally) is house-mixes.com, should i use something different such as house-mixes.local?
Would installing the DNS server affect anyone accessing my web server to view the house-mixes.com website?
I just want to ensure I don't deny myself access to the machine after configuring and rebooting.
A few of you have pointed out that DFS may not be ideal in my situation, well I will explain my scenario a little more to hopefully find an elegant solution.
I am load balancing for 2 reasons, high availability and to spread the load (it's a pretty busy website).
Each of the 2 servers are identical both with around 10TB of the same data, an average of around 10-15gb of new data gets uploaded by users of the site each day, as well as a few GB deleted, files are never modified...just created or removed.
I need the uploaded files to be replicated pretty much instantly to the other machine otherwise the media files will work on one machine and not the other until they are in sync.
At the moment I have a SQL server database installed only on one of the machines, I do want to setup another SQL server as a backup on the other machine, but I will leave that for another question.
At the moment I am using some software called ViceVersa Pro, which is basically what rsync does but has the ability to do this when any file changes are recognised. This software has worked ok so far, but I was looking to try and do this without any third-party applications if possible.
Thank you!

Indiana gay marriage amendment discussed for nearly 4 hours Monday, vote delayed
There was no committee vote Monday on a highly controversial proposal to add an amendment to the Indiana state constitution defining marriage between one man and one woman.
The decision to delay the vote comes after the House Judiciary Committee heard nearly four hours of testimony both for and against the bill, known as House Joint Resolution 3 or HJR-3, and its companion bill HB 1153.
The proposed amendment would ban gay marriage and anything "similar" to gay marriage. Supporters and opponents disagree on whether the proposal would also bar benefits for same-sex couples.
Because the testimonies ran over on time, the meeting adjourned without the vote, which would have passed the amendment to the full House of Representatives to consider. House Judiciary Commitee Chairman Gregory Steuerwald said the committee would not vote Monday so that the committee would have time to consider the testimonies given. He did not say when the committee would reconvene.
The panel began at 10 a.m. with Steuerwald announcing the parameters of the hearing: each side would be given one hour and 15 minutes for testimony, with some time built in. A total of 40 speakers were scheduled to speak. HJR-3 sponsor Rep. Eric Turner introduced HJR-3 and its companion bill, House Bill 1153 before opening the floor for testimony.
Supporters of the amendment said Monday that it was needed to protect against any court decisions overturning the existing state ban on gay marriage.
But opponents testified that Indiana's national and global image is suffering. Executives with Eli Lilly and Co. and Cummins Inc. spoke of their trouble attracting talent to the state.
HJR-3 has brought much local support and criticism. Elkhart Mayor Dick Moore and Goshen Mayor Allan Kauffman both announced their opposition to the bill in December, when it was known as HJR-6. The Elkhart Truth published an editorial on Sunday, Jan. 12, stating its opposition to the amendment.
The bill was authored by State Rep. Eric Turner, R-Cicero. Among the three co-authors are Tim Wesco, a Republican from Osceola, and State Rep. Wes Culver, a Goshen Republican. State Rep. Rhonda Rhoads, R-Corydon, is the third co-author.

Questions about the
Pinellas Planning Council (PPC)
What is the PPC?
The PPC provides a forum for representatives of Pinellas County's 24 municipalities and the unincorporated county to address countywide land use issues. The thirteen members (some representing groups of communities) provide policy advice and recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners, who are authorized by the county charter to act as the Countywide Planning Authority (CPA).
Although the PPC has existed in some form since 1965, it was reconstituted in its current form in 1988 by a special act of the State Legislature (Chapter 88-464, Laws of Florida), and approved by countywide referendum as an amendment to the Pinellas County Charter. In September 2014, the PPC board unified its membership with the Pinellas County Metropolitan Planning Organization, as stipulated by Chapter 2012-245, Laws of Florida.
The PPC representatives are assisted by a professional staff, composed of the Executive Director and support personnel, which conducts research, provides technical assistance to smaller communities, and administers the Countywide Plan and Countywide Rules. PPC projects are also reviewed by the Planners Advisory Committee (PAC), a panel comprised of local government planning directors.
Why is the PPC needed?
Pinellas County is made up of many different local governments – 24 cities and towns, plus the unincorporated county. In many ways, these communities function independently from one another. Each has its own elected council or commission, passes its own laws, and is responsible for the well-being of its own citizens.
In many other ways, however, these communities are connected. They share a single school board, the same major roads, and a handful of water and sewer systems. They face similar problems, from code enforcement to hurricane evacuation. And they are connected economically, as thousands of residents, visitors, tourists, shoppers, and commuters pass back and forth across community borders every day. Because decisions made in one community can have a profound effect on others, the PPC provides a forum for local governments to cooperate on issues that affect more than one jurisdiction, and to work out any disputes that may arise. It also strives to bring consistency to the planning and regulatory efforts of the 25 local governments.
Who are the PPC representatives, and who chooses them?
Each of the thirteen PPC representatives is an elected official from a local government. Three are County Commissioners; six are officials (mayors, commissioners, or councilmembers) from larger municipalities; three are officials from smaller municipalities, each representing a group of communities in addition to his or her own; and one represents the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority.
Local governments appoint their own representatives, based on the interest and experience of available candidates. For the smaller communities represented in groups, the local governments take turns providing representatives or collectively choose a single representative.
Is the PPC responsible for all countywide planning?
The PPC is primarily responsible for coordinating land use planning, which governs such issues as where development may go and how intensely it may be used; and intergovernmental coordination, or cooperative planning between otherwise independent local governments. Many other issues, such as transportation, economic development, and schools, overlap these categories and are also addressed by the PPC.
Responsibility for countywide planning is shared by many agencies and levels of government (see our guide at the bottom of this page). However, because virtually all areas of planning are interrelated, the PPC strives to work cooperatively with others and provide a forum to discuss common issues.
Does the PPC make all the land use decisions for my community?
Most land use decisions, covering topics such as building permits and code enforcement, are made by local governments. PPC staff sometimes provide planning assistance to smaller communities, but only by request, and the local government remains the decision-making authority.
However, when making these decisions, all communities must follow the guidelines contained in the Countywide Plan and Countywide Rules. Any local government decisions that would require a change or exception to these guidelines must be reviewed by the PPC and CPA for approval.
What is the Countywide Plan?
The Countywide Plan is a document created with input from the 25 local governments and the Pinellas County School Board. It establishes general rules about land use, and contains a map designating where certain types of development can occur within the county. Local governments are required to maintain land use plans and maps that are consistent with the Countywide Plan. These are also called future land use plans and future land use maps because they regulate what can be built on land in the future.
More detailed information about this document is available on the Countywide Plan information page.
What are the Countywide Rules?
The Countywide Rules are contained in another document, also created with input from the 24 municipalities, the unincorporated county, and the Pinellas County School Board. They establish more specific standards for land use, such as the maximum number of homes or apartments that can be built on a residential parcel, or how much of a commercial lot can be covered with pavement. The Countywide Rules do not tell local governments how their communities should look or exactly how they should be developed, but they do provide guidelines that may not be exceeded. This process ensures that consistent development standards are maintained throughout the county, while allowing local community character to be preserved.
An online, searchable version of this document is available on the Countywide Rules information page.
What are the procedures for PPC public hearings?
The PPC meets on the third Wednesday of each month at 1:00 p.m., in the Board of County Commissioners Chambers of the Pinellas County Courthouse (315 Court Street, 5th Floor) in downtown Clearwater. Meetings are open to the public. They are also televised live on Pinellas County Connection TV (PCC-TV) on Bright House, WOW, and Verizon cable systems, and rebroadcast the following Friday at midnight.
A schedule of upcoming meetings for the PAC, PPC, and CPA are posted online, along with the most current PAC and PPC agendas, on our Agendas & Meetings page. New agendas are posted as they become available, usually at least two to three days before each meeting.
If you plan to attend, please be aware of the Public Hearing Procedures established by PPC Resolution No. 96-2, which govern public comments as well as other aspects of the public hearing process.
Where can I get more information about PPC activities?
The following documents contain more detailed information about PPC activities. They are in .pdf format, and require the free program Adobe Acrobat Reader to view or download.

Questions about Pinellas County
How many people live in Pinellas County?
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the permanent population of the county in the year 2010 was 916,542.
For a breakdown by local government, and to see how the population has changed in the last twenty years, see the 1990-2010 Census Population Comparison page.
Why are there so many local governments?
When it was first established as a county in 1912, Pinellas County consisted mainly of citrus orchards, which used the local railroad to ship fruit to the rest of the nation. The county's few residents lived in small, isolated towns along the tracks. Following World War II, when northern retirees began to flock to the area, the towns expanded and began to grow together. While some residents consolidated their towns into larger cities, others viewed themselves as distinct communities, and chose to keep their own governments.
As we begin the 21st century, Pinellas County has grown into a single, continuous metropolitan area with 25 different local governments. This arrangement is valued by many residents, who believe it allows their communities to retain small-town character within an urban setting.
For a more detailed account of the county's development, see the About Pinellas page on the Board of County Commissioners' web site.
Who is my local government?
For many residents, this is an entirely valid question. The boundaries between local governments in Pinellas County are jagged and confusing, and many cities and towns surround enclaves, small pockets of land that are technically part of the unincorporated county. Mailing addresses, based on ZIP codes rather than governmental boundaries, add to the confusion: most residents of unincorporated areas are assigned to the nearest city or town, and some recently-annexed areas have addresses listing a different municipality than the one in which they now reside.
How can you determine what jurisdiction you live in? If you know the general location of your residence within the county, you can consult the Municipal Boundaries Map on this web site. If this map does not provide enough detail, contact the city or town nearest to you and ask if your address falls within their boundaries. You can also contact the Pinellas County Property Appraiser's Office with the same question.
I have a question about planning in my community. Who should I call?
Each local government makes different arrangements for providing public services. It is possible, for example, to live in the unincorporated county, receive fire service from one neighboring city, sewer service from another, solid waste pickup from a private provider, and water from the County. Because of this complicated system, there is no master list of phone numbers to call for specific topics. However, this is a general guide that may help you find information more quickly.
Phone numbers and mailing addresses for local governments, along with links to web sites for those that have them, are available on our Local Government Information page.

but it is default setting.
If somebody click on a link from .pdf file specialy prepared by attacker,
malicious code can be executed with his privileges.

The past few months in Cincinnati have been difficult.
The talented and once-promising Bengals, who host the Saints on Sunday, haven't won a game since Sept. 26 and are assured of a losing season.
For a team that made the playoffs last season, the Bengals entered 2010 with high expectations. Early on they appeared to be living up to their goals, winning two of their first three games, including a win against the Baltimore Ravens. But they've dropped their past eight.
With five games remaining, they insist they are not about to give up on their season. The players have regularly said they will play out the year in hopes of making a strong impression on the front office in hopes of keeping their jobs next season.
Such desperation could serve as strong motivation down the stretch for the Bengals, who face playoff contenders in four of five remaining games.
When the front office brought in receiver Terrell Owens to pair with Chad Ochocinco, the Bengals seemingly had a pass-catching tandem that could be the most explosive in the NFL. But the two have failed to make a huge impact. The Bengals are ranked 11th in passing offense behind quarterback Carson Palmer, who has had a topsy-turvy season. Palmer has completed 59.5 percent of his passes for 2,760 yards with 19 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. His passer rating is 78.5, and he has been sacked 20 times. Meanwhile, Owens has had his moments, catching 65 passes for 914 yards and eight touchdowns, all team highs. Ochocinco has 54 receptions for 628 yards and four scores. But his 11.6 yards per catch is well below his career average of 14.3. Running back Cedric Benson leads the team in rushing with 788 yards, but he's averaging only 3.6 yards per carry.
A big part of the Bengals' problem has been their inability to stop opposing teams from scoring. The Bengals rank 27th in the league in scoring defense, yielding 26.2 points a game. And that number could increase if their secondary isn't intact against the Saints. In the Bengals' Thanksgiving loss to the Jets, half of the inactive list included injured defensive backs. Cornerbacks Johnathan Joseph (ankle), Brandon Ghee (groin) and Rico Murray (ankle) and starting strong safety Roy Williams (concussion) were out, and their status for Sunday remains unclear. The Bengals have the league's 23rd-ranked rushing defense. Linebackers Dhani Jones and Keith Rivers are the team's leading tacklers. The Bengals, with 12 sacks, haven't been able to muster a strong pass rush. Defensive end Carlos Dunlap leads the team with three. Cornerback Leon Hall has four interceptions, and Joseph has three.
For now, Aaron Pettrey is the kicker. But after he went 1-for-2 in the loss to the Jets, Coach Marvin Lewis said he might look to other options. Pettrey, who was signed Nov. 16 after a knee injury ended Mike Nugent's season, was wide left from 27 yards before making one from 28. In two games, Pettrey is 2-of-4, and he has just one touchback in seven kickoffs. Punter Kevin Huber is averaging 42.5 yards a punt. Bernard Scott is averaging 21.6 yards on 38 kickoff returns, and the Bengals coverage unit has yielded two returns for scores.
Nov. 19, 2006 BENGALS 31, SAINTS 16: Drew Brees passed for 510 yards, but it wasn't nearly enough as the Saints' defense had its own share of problems slowing the Bengals. Although Cincinnati didn't post numbers as gaudy as the Saints, Palmer and Ochocinco, who went by Chad Johnson then, torched the Saints' secondary. Palmer passed for 275 yards and three touchdowns. Ochocinco caught six for 190 yards and three scores. Bengals running back Rudi Johnson added 111 yards rushing.
WORTH REPEATING "They don't start out slow. They don't start out trying to feel you out. They start out attacking you based on what you've done. You've got to really be on your toes. Everybody talks about playing fast. If you don't play fast early against them, they put you in a hole right away." - Bengals secondary coach Kevin Coyle on the Saints' offense

Enter the command in terminal pppoeconf.
Use the tab key to shift options in the terminal, it will ask for ur id password, enter and it will dial the pppoe automatically everytime you boot the pc.
Enabling pppoe inside the modem itself is a good option, however I have observed that the firmware in my modem is not very reliable in case the connection drops, so I prefer pppoe on the computer rather than pppoe of modem.

The HairArt Ceramic Straightening & Curling Iron is a verstile styling tool that is both a curling iron and a flat iron, allowing you to create as many styles as you desire.New Price:
Flat Ironthe iron is ok,,,,my problem with it is that it OBVIOUSLY wasn't tested by stylists or just an iron user or anyone for that matter who has a brain.. When you hold the iron ,,your hand covers the programming dials, therefore it changes your choice of temp etc. Very frustrating. I don't get it. I'm a hairstylist,,,,and i can't tell u how many hair products / tools are so unsensibly made. Don't they have qualified people to test these things??? The first time i picked up this iron i knew i would have a problem. Will i keep it??? yes , only because i'm too lazy to return it. call me stupid. If the dials were in a different spot,,,yes , i'd love the iron.

AFL-CIO Readies 'Firewall' Strategy for Fall Elections
The AFL-CIO is planning its biggest political campaign ever this year, surpassing the $53 million spent in 2008 to help elect President Barack Obama
Trying to avert a Republican takeover of both the House and Senate in the November midterm elections, the labor federation is focusing on a "firewall" of six states with key congressional elections and relatively high numbers of union households: California, New York, Illinois, Nevada, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
"We will help to create a firewall so that more conservatives aren't elected, so there won't be a 1994 situation," said Karen Ackerman, political director of the AFL-CIO. Ackerman said unions are still studying implications of the Supreme Court's recent campaign finance decision and how unions can partner with other activist groups.
Republican victories in the Massachusetts Senate race and elsewhere have worried union officials. But they also say they see an opportunity to make a populist pitch to voters angered by bank bailouts, an approach that also could work against Democrats who voted for the legislation.
This year, the federation plans to take a tougher stance with Democrats who have not supported labor's agenda – starting with Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas. On Tuesday, the AFL-CIO said it will endorse Arkansas Lt. Gov. Bill Halter, who announced Monday he would challenge Lincoln in the Democratic primary this May.
"It's time to draw a line in the sand," said Gerry McEntee, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and chairman of the AFL-CIO's political committee. McEntee said that AFSCME, the Communications Workers of America and the Service Employees International Union already have pledged to spend $1 million each in support of Halter. He said Halter himself had said he needs $5 million to run his campaign and has so far raised $1 million.
Katie Laning Niebaum, Lincoln's campaign spokeswoman, noted that the senator's lifetime voting record with the AFL-CIO is 82%. "While she hasn't agreed with organized labor on every issue, she has always given their priorities a fair hearing and careful consideration," she said. As for labor's opposition in the primary, she said "we find their endorsement and fund-raising efforts puzzling."
Lincoln, who has had labor's backing in the past, opposed the Employee Free Choice Act, a bill that would make it far easier for unions to organize workers, and the nomination of union-lawyer Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board. Becker's confirmation has been held up in the Senate, and unions have been pushing the White House for a recess appointment.
White House resistance is one of the reasons tensions between organized labor and the Obama administration are growing. The labor federation also said it was "appalled" at President Barack Obama's comments Monday in which he cited the firing of all teachers at a Rhode Island high school as an example of the need for accountability in schools where students chronically perform poorly.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by lizinco Love this silicone bark pan Bought this pan last year and glad to see it was brought back this year for others to have an opportunity to enjoy it too! This mold makes six large candy bar sized bars (bigger than a standard Hershey's bar) and the imprint comes out really nice and clear. The bars also come out of the mold very easily so you can cut them into the individual bars if you put more chocolate than each little mold holds. December 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Taylor24 Perfectly festive I ordered one to make peppermint bark for coworker holiday gifts--which everyone loved. Was happy to find that it was bigger than I expected, making 6 big candy bar sized sections at a time. Only thing was I then broke them into smaller bark pieces, which broke up the holiday messages on the back. Still made beautiful bark--will be using it again next year too. December 30, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Enzosmom Can't recommend this product I bought this product with high hopes but I made it and the bark tasted like perfumed soap. It came out looking perfect but my family was afraid of plastic poisoning. It was not edible. Very unfortunate. December 23, 2014

Was wondering if any one would be able to help flesh out my character and help me make him better. At the moment we are in a 14 level campaign using complete and core books D&D 3.5 edition also including eberon campaign so for I have taken 1 level in barbarian and 5 in bear warrior which when coupled with the +6 HD and the 2 LA maxes me out for my levels. Could you help with good feats that may be of use. My core stats rolled where 18,13,18,14,15,07. Before any racial additions. Any help in right direction people could give would help I am aiming to be high damage and HP. The only feat I have taken so far is power attack but looking at greater powerful charge if I can any help in this will be great as it my first non caster class and not to sure what to use. My weapon of choice is also a great axe.

Some things to consider for this character (borrowed partially from A Systemless Guide to Practical Optimization):
I recommend you put one 18 in Strength, and assign the other 18 to either Wisdom or Constitution, depending on which Saving Throw you prioritize more.
Keep in mind that as a Monstrous Humanoid you are immune to Dominate Person, Charm Person, Hold Person and any other effects that target the Humanoid type. I do not know your DM, but if he argues that humanoids and monstrous humanoids are one and the same, point him to the following pages of the SRD: Monstrous Humanoid, Humanoid and Psionic Dominate; the latter specifically calls out Monstrous Humanoids as different from Humanoids for the purposes of Dominate Person.
Alternate Class Features: Complete Champion has several good level 1 ACFs for barbarians, all of which replace the Fast Movement Class Feature. Two are notable for your character:
As a large sized creature with a massive strength bonus, you have 12(BAB)+4(Size)+12(26 strength-10/2 to get a mod of 8). That translates to a total +24 to grapple checks, before rage. While raging you gain a utterly ridiculous bonus to strength (+16, so +8 more to your grapple) but cannot wield your normal weapons while in bear form. Thus, you should always keep grappling in mind as an option, if not your primary mode of offense--you are nearly guaranteed to pin down any low strength humanoid opponent, for one.
Extra Rage: This nifty little feat gives you two more Rages per day; you need this feat for your Bear Warrior levels to be worth anything at all. I seriously recommend you rethink your choice of class, as currently you can only use your Bear Form one time per day. In other words, all it gains you is scent (you already have this as a minotaur) and Rage abilities that you can very rarely use. If you insist on going with Bear Warrior, you should probably just take this feat at every level past your first level of barbarian. Other: Bear Warrior doesn't specify that the rage or frenzy needs to be from your class features. Get a friendly caster to cast Rage on you, or pick up a constant item of it, and be a bear all day long.
Other racial choices:
I would almost seriously recommend that you instead change your race to the core Lycanthropic Badger (Natural) applied to whatever LA +0 race you like. You would only have a level adjustment of 3+1rhd, and will rage for free whenever you take damage in Animal Form. This both qualifies you for Bear Warrior without the Barbarian level, gives you more room for actual class features superior to the Minotaur race and allows you effective infinite uses of your Bear Warrior class features. Despite the apparent penalties, the ability to use your Bear Warrior features and 4 more levels in actual classes are far superior to the benefits of being a Minotaur. The badger form is also useful for utility purposes: it allows you to burrow, and has a 10 ft. movement speed.

There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Dr. Wilson's work has focused on improving health care for under-served populations domestically and internationally. In Boston, Dr. Wilson has combined clinical care to underserved families with implementation of programs to improve health for children with chronic illness. Her international work grew from her clinical pediatric practice in Boston working with transnational families from the Dominican Republic. Internationally, Dr. Wilson has lead a maternal and neonatal training and quality improvement program at hospital facilities in the Dominican Republic. Her current work applies the technology of mhealth to quality improvement, using cell phone based protocols as decision aids to improve newborn health care in Tanzania. Dr. Wilson teaches at Harvard Medical School and School of Public Health with a focus on global maternal child health and social determinants of disease. In addition, she developed and directs the Global Pediatric Fellows Program at Children's Hospital Boston, with pediatric fellows working in Haiti and Rwanda.
Sara Stulac, MD, MPH, is the Deputy Chief Medical Officer for Partners In Health, supporting programs in Rwanda, Haiti, Lesotho, and Malawi. She lived and worked in Rwanda from 2005 to 2011 as PIH-Rwanda's Clinical Director, collaborating with Rwanda's Ministry of Health to develop primary health care infrastructure and community-based HIV care in three rural health districts. Her areas of clinical focus have included pediatric HIV prevention and treatment, malnutrition care, inpatient pediatrics, and pediatric oncology and other non-communicable disease treatment. Dr. Stulac holds faculty positions in the Division of Global Health Equity at Brigham and Women's Hospital, at Boston Children's Hospital, and at Harvard Medical School. She received her MD and MPH from Tufts University School of Medicine, and completed her residency in pediatrics at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.

Three Lynbrook teenagers were arrested this week for robbing a man in East Rockaway last month, Nassau County police said.
The 19-year-old victim arrived at a party on Clinton Avenue when the three suspects confronted him on the side of the house and robbed him of cash, knocked him to the ground and punched and kicked him on the night of Feb. 20, police said.
Fourth Squad detectives charged John Clifford, 17, David Traversa, 17, and Andrew Siconolfi, 18, with robbery. Traversa and Sicololfi will be arraigned at First District Court in Hempstead on Wednesday.
Clifford, who was arrested on March 7, pleaded not guilty at an earlier arraignment. He was released after a judge set his bail at $2,000 bond or $1,000 cash.
His attorney, Virginia Boccio, said: "My client was cooperative with the police investigating the incident and denied a role in the matter."

Baseball America released its update on transactions from the period of December 15, 2011 to January 3, 2012. As the pic suggests, not a whole lot of excitement. All but three names were covered in our previous transaction-related post.
Those names were:
- RHP Dan Cortes
- LHP Michael Ballard
- RHP Kyle Winters
Cortes is right-handed and throws hard, which Rizzo favors like Hugh Hefner does buxom blondes (OK, I've said too much). He turns 25 in March and has had two cappuccinos with Seattle the past two seasons.
Ballard is soft-tossing southpaw but works from a four-pitch arsenal. He turns 28 next month and pitched in both AA and AAA for the Baltimore organization last season.
Both pitchers appear ticketed for Syracuse, which lost one of its relievers yesterday with the suspension of longtime Nats farmhand Zech Zinicola for what he said was the use of synthetic marijuana.
Winters is a RHP that lost most of 2009 and 2010 to shoulder problems but turned in 19 starts for Greensboro of the Sally League. He turns 25 in April and the early guess is that he'll be the #5 SP for the Potomac.
Two former, longtime Nats have hooked on elsewhere:
- UT Leonard Davis signed with Colorado
- C Brian Peacock signed with Cincinnati
As always, discuss in the comments while we, well, while away the winter.
40 Responses to "Transaction Update"
So Brian Peacock is probably slated for Bakersfield (high A) and Leonard Davis in Tulsa (AA) or Colorado Springs (AAA)? Best of luk to both of them.
What are your thoughts on ZZ? Will this suspension ultimately lead to his release?
The signings look to be orginizational filler; Not a bad thing, but it is what it is.
Congrats to Brian P. for taking the offer from CIN. Maybe he'll finally get a shot at AA-level ball.
Brian P is slated for the Pensacola Wahoos (AA) under Jim Riggleman.
Giggleman's Isle MiLB style.
The one thing to Peacock's detriment is that he may have developed a 'tell' in his setup when he calls off-speed pitches. Catchers with average to sub-average arms sometimes cheat away from the hitter when calling an off-speed pitch with a runner on base. I've watched him for a couple of years now, and noticed a slight tendancy to him to shift when faced with that situation.
Otherwise, I think he calls a smart game, mixing pitches nicely, blocks the plate well (on both crossup pitches & runners on 3rd), and puts in maximum effort every day. I like the guy & wish him well in the CIN org.
Totally agree with you. I've always liked him…seemed to play baseball the way it should be played. Sorry to see him leave but wish him the best.
What is the AAA starting rotation project to be?
Could it be the following? Or are there some roster fillers coming along to fill in the AAA gap post Rule V draft and Gio trade?
markfd: As of today, I'm thinking Stammen / Ballard / Maya (if healthy) / Arnesen / Tatusko, with Buschmann should Maya start the year on the DL.
Should Meyers be returned by the Yankees, then Arnesen drops to a LR/SpS role for SYR, and Fulchino probably gets bumped off the roster.
Here is my AAA rotation
Yunesky Maya
Erik Arnesen
Craig Stammen
Mike Ballard
Matt Buschmann
I also have there pen as this
Atahualpa Severino
Ryan Tatusko
Josh Wilkie
Jeff Mandel
Rafael Martin
Cory VanAllen
Jeff Fulchino
with Cortes and Hyde waiting in the wings
John Lannan
Yunesky Maya
Erik Arnesen
Mike Ballard
Matt Buschmann
Stammen makes the club as long relief in tandem with lefty Gorzelanny.
Lannan cannot beat out Wang and Detwiler. The odds are stacked heavily against it. And unlike those two he does have an option and is a lousy reliever.
Oh yeah I keep forgetting the "ace" of the rotation Bradley Meyers. Have to assume (per Luke) that we get Myers back so … (okay I'm really bad but I put Meyers ahead of Lannan).
Bradley Meyers
John Lannan
Matt Buschmann
Erik Arneson
Maya Yunesky ( I could see AA Harrisburg here.)
Stammen makes the club as long relief in tandem with lefty Gorzelanny.
Lannan cannot beat out Wang and Detwiler. The odds are stacked heavily against it. And unlike those two he does have an option and is a lousy reliever.
I know lack of experience is a con for Rosenbaum but the cupboard has been depleted just looking down the line and assuming everyone will get a bump up to fill the holes. A big difference from last offseason when there were more thn 8 potential AAA starters in the organization.
Shouldn't Brian Peacock get a plaque or something after 5 years at Potomac?
At least a certificate of achievement!
Thinking of potential starting rotations for AA, High A, and Low A leagues, what is everyone's thoughts (or a thought for later post(s))?
Here is what I have
Danny Rosenbaum
Tanner Roark
Sammy Solis(would go to Bronson if Solis needs TJ)
Paul Demny
Adam Oldrychowski
Matt Purke
Alex Meyer
Robbie Ray
Trevor Holder
Robert Gilliam
Matt Grace
Wirkin Estevez
Jack McGeary
Brian Dupra
Taylor Hill
I'd swap Estevez with Mayer. I think Estevez looks pretty advanced. (You would think Grace and McGreary would be there by now.). Mayer is 6'9″ and growing. He still needs to adjust to his height. That I think belongs in A ball or below. Also, I think Nate Karns would be in the Hagerstown rotation. He is now too old not to be.
Has anyone ever gone from SS-A+ in one season under Rizzo. I have Karns in the Hagerstown bullpen, as I couldnt slot him in ahead of anyone in the current rotation. I would expect Grace, and McGeary to get the call to Potomac, or be sent to the pen fairly quickly, and Karns would than get the rotation spot
Do you think Purke and Meyer both go straight to A+?
I was so looking forward to Potomac's rotation. And then Cole and Jordan…Ah well you get the picture.
Buschmann had an excellent winter league performance. I wonder how he will fit in the major league depth pecking order in Syracuse? Would he slot before Maya?
I dont think he will be ahead of Maya, just because Maya is on the 40 man roster. I think Maya would be the first call-up, unless Arnsen or Buschmann is out pitching him by a good amount(which I could see happen)
Yeah and Maya might be recalled from AA Harrisburg the way things are going … I'd rather see guys promoted that really deserve it.
Great photo of Spike!
If Brian P does go to Pensacola, that's also where Jonathan Griffin when to be ballpark manager. Its a new faculity, pictures of it look real nice. Great news for Brian…lets hope this means his luck is changing for the better.
followed kyle winters for years as a Marlins fan. Never thought he got the advancement he deserved. Check out this you tube of him vs Bryce Harper. Saw him pitch against him last year and he mostly dominated him. Was the winning pitcher for the Hoppers in the SAL championship game. Think he is a good addition, hope the Nats give him a shot. youtube: bryce harper vs kyle winters 5/22/11

I'm not totally sure you're asking the right question here. Asterisk-java in combination with Asterisk and in my case Lumenvox is just a user interface for whatever application I am developing. In my case it's not even the only user interface I've created for my system (which happens to be in Home Automation which uses CORBA to connect the pieces together) - I've also got a web interface as well as other standalone front ends and even the light switches can be considered part of the UI (and therefore non reusable). Asterisk-java provides you with an ordinary JRE environment where you might not be in direct control of main() (though you can be if you really want to), but that's similar to the other server environments you mentioned (browser JVM is a different animal).
