What do you do when you live in an apartment, don't belong to a gym and have a hectic schedule? How do you find time to workout? As a working mom with two young boys, it's often a struggle to find the time to fit fitness into my day between work, school drop-off and pick-up, client meetings and other responsibilities.
Over the summer, I was introduced to the JCORE Accelerated Body Transformation System – a 40-day program that claims to work around these constraints and transform your body. It was created by Jay Cardiello, a celebrity fitness trainer and wellness expert. I mean, he trains 50 Cent so his plan must work, right?
I will admit that I was highly skeptical before starting this program. Generally I try to workout for an hour, 4-5 days a week, mixing cardio with strength training. For JCORE, all you need is a 4×4 space, no weights, and 20 minutes a day/4 days a week. Was 20 minutes going to be enough?
I opened the calendar and found 40 days of workouts, rest days, and fit tests. Literally, I did not have to think about a thing. There are five different workouts, each fast-paced and comprised of 20 minutes of 30-second intervals of body-weight exercises. While 30 seconds might not seem like a long time, believe me, it can be intense. I was breathing hard and a sweaty mess by the end of the workouts. The exercises largely focus on your core, which helps build overall strength and stability. Think lunges, squats, planks, and fire hydrants. I modified many of these moves to make it easier on my knee. JCORE also starts with a Fit Test that allows you to gauge your progress week-to-week. (more…)
Denise Austin has been in the health and fitness industry for more than 25 years and is most known for her exercise videos/DVDs and her emphasis on staying fit naturally. A few of her accomplishments include being an American fitness instructor, author, columnist, spokeswoman for Idaho Potatoes and Nature Made, and a former member of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. Throughout her career, she has been known by her nickname, "America's Favorite Fitness Expert."
Austin was born on February 13, 1957 in San Pedro, California. At age 12 she began taking gymnastics lessons and increased her skills enough to later receive an athletic scholarship from the University of Arizona. While she was a member of their gymnastics team, she was named #9 in the NCAA on the balance beam. Though Austin did not complete her degree there, she eventually transferred to California State University Long Beach. In 1979 she graduated with her bachelor of arts degree in physical education and a minor in exercises physiology. In 1983 she married sports attorney Jim Austin and eventually gave birth to their two daughters in the early 90s. (more…)
America's number one online weight loss community SparkPeople.com released SparkPeople: 28-Day Boot Camp with their fan-favorite trainer Coach Nicole this morning, December 27th.
This 28-Day Boot Camp DVD gives you everything you need for create a customizable 28 day boot camp program that combines heart rate raising bouts of cardio with full body strength training to get you results in just 12, 20 or 30 minutes. The DVD includes four workout segments with 3 intensity levels and several bonus features, including recipes and added ab exercises. Light hand weights are required to complete the workouts and a mat is optional.
The workouts themselves are nothing groundbreaking- expect combinations of lunges, squats, bicep curls and crunches- but the exercises are completed without rest and usually combined with kettlebell swings using the light handweights so your heart rate stays elevated and you really target your butt and thighs. Each workout includes the whole body, so no matter whether you have 12 minutes or 30 minutes, you can be sure you've hit every muscle group.

While I enjoy the time away from work during the holidays, unfortunately the change in – or more accurately, complete lack of – routine wreaks havoc on my nutrition and fitness plans. On a normal work day, I've knocked out a run before the rest of the fam wakes, plan all my meals and snacks, hit the office gym over the lunch hour for some strength training and then get up and do it all again the next day. This may sound boring to some, but to me, the routine simply makes healthy living a natural part of my life. That is until the holidays roll around, and I suddenly have no reason to set the alarm, a stocked pantry and refrigerator just around the corner, and no gym packed with on-demand workout options.
This year I'm vowing to plan my at home holiday fitness just as I would on a typical work day. As a bonus, working out at home provides me with another opportunity to teach my spunky preschooler how fun fitness can be. If you're like me and don't like coming up with your own workout routines, here are a couple of my favorite tools that make exercising sans gym a breeze.
Kettlebell workouts seem to be all the rage these days. And because it's an exercise known for being tough, gritty and somewhat complicated, I've been interested in trying it for the last few years (glutton for punishment, I am). But it wasn't until I reviewed a few kettlebell workout DVDs that I gave them a go. And what a go it was.
Working with kettlebells is intense and some of the movements are downright dangerous and can result in injury if you do them improperly. And because many of the moves—especially the compound ones—are extremely challenging and advanced, it's likely that when you get tired (and you will get tired), your form will suffer. And bad form isn't good. (more…)

"Fast forward is my friend"
I probably missed the finer points at the end of this book. I listened to only the first few minutes and the last few minutes of the last 1/3 of the book. It became tiresome. I hate plot lines that only work if you accept the central stupidity of the main character; particularly when that character is painted as a sharp business woman. It is a shame because this author is capable of better.
Retired and retiring old Oirisher/Brit who has now escaped first to Atlanta, now living in Bourbon country in Kentucky.
"A curious tale, slow and ponderously boring."
This was a strange tale. It started out a bit of a feminist rant, which was going to get boring even if true. I don't come to Audible to be morally improved, but entertained. It failed almost utterly to entertain me, apart from the final encounter, which was diverting for a few moments.
The rest is pretty sordid, as references to prostitution, "the life," tend to be. It is a nasty, brutal, usually short life. Men are pigs, yes they are.
The book was factually incorrect in that it plays out that there is a lot of money to be made in prostitution. There is, but nowhere near the figures that Heloise seems able to extract from it. The working girls almost _never_ earn what they work.
Weirdly enough, hearing Linda Emond's wonderful narration use the few cuss words within the text rather sounded like effluvium in a cathedral. Even Emond's talent could not bring the tale to life for me.
While I agree with the conclusions that Lippman makes overall in the book, and her post book notes, the book wasn't worth the time it took to listen to it.
I know some will be disappointed in that review, especially Lippman fans, but it was a 2, no more.
"So-so story, so-so narrator"
A middle of the road story--interesting enough to listen to, but the main character was kind of too remote and unfeeling, so it made it difficult to feel invested in whether or not she was discovered to be a madame or would live through the end. It was also uneven in that, she was supposed to be so smart, yet kept getting caught up in these compromising positions with men who overpower her. She may come out of it on her own in the end, but it's more of another circumstance she found herself in than one she created for herself.
The overarching storyline of her escort business and how she ran it, felt modern and was a little different than other books of this genre. I think that I would have felt more for her if she was married or seeking relationships outside of her business and her son. Though her son was supposed to be the central focus on her life, I didn't feel it in the writing. It was more just something that she said.
The narrator was a little weird--kind of stiff and definitely contributed to the remoteness that you feel about the character. She also made men sound....dumb...?
It wasn't so bad that I want my credit back....just wouldn't recommend to others.
Avid listener of mysteries, thrillers, a little sci fi. Also enjoy self improvement titles. Mom, wife, Social Media Coordinator for biz.
"Lippman & Emond are one of the best combos!"
I have listened to every Laura Lippman book on Audible. Truly, her writing and her characters are so very realistic. Add to that Linda Emond's totally perfect narration and it is a winning combination every time. I think the main character has a fascinating story to tell. I loved that a minor character from many other Lippman books makes a "cameo" appearance in this one.
The only thing I want is for Laura Lippman to write faster. I can never get enough!
"Oh, she's good"
I liked this book, but at times it was a little sad - as I realized that this probably someone's real story. Well written.
Life long fan of the mystery story. I like books where something actually happens, so history and biography are favorites of mine also. I also think that even good books are improved tremendously when an actor performs the narration.
"Bard of Baltimore shines again!"
Clever story -- sort of June Cleaver meets Xaviera Hollander, and right in Maryland! Linda Emond is a jewel. She takes Lippman's perfect prose to the level of high art. This is one winning combo, especially for those who remember Maryland in the '70s.
"A fun read"
Honestly this book is short. You will finish it quickly. I found it hard to pause to go do other things. I haven't read anything else by this author but this is a fun book.
"excellent from start to finish!"
this was a great and very thorough book. it's about scandalous issues and the pursuit of normality spun in a thrilling but somehow relatable way that keeps you interested in the entire time. best of all there's no cheap ambiguous ending, instead it's a complete and satisfying conclusion leaving me excited for the author's next books. very much well worth the credit.
"Great story and a great narrator!"
The narration was absolutely on point. it was captivating and told the story with the correct tones and pace
"Will read more by the author and narrator"
I found this book interesting and entertaining (frequently I find I can only hope for one of the two) and the narration - once I got into the story - was very well done though not at all overdone. Great listen!

Pastor Brent identifies three qualifications of an elder to equip the local church to raise up future elders to lead God's church.
In Titus 1:5 the Apostle Paul directs Titus to appoint elders in every church. These men were to be the leaders of the church that taught sound doctrine and modeled godly living. The question for every local church is, "How do we identify these men?" Or we could also say, "How does God reveal the men whom He has called to be elders?"
In Titus chapter 1, the Apostle Paul gives Titus a set of qualifications to be an elder. Men are to be examined in the local church in the light of these qualifications to test their spiritual character and fitness to serve in this role.
These men must set the example. They must be the Godly men. The spiritual qualities found in the list of qualifications are the same for all believers. However, men qualified to be elders must display spiritual maturity in these areas, men who stand out in the congregation as the Godly men in the church.
In this message, Pastor Brent identifies the first three qualifications to be an elder.

Columbus Tower
Cafe Zoetrope
On the ground floor of historic Columbus Tower, Francis Ford Coppola's casual bistro features movie memorabilia and Coppola wines.

Columbus Tower information
If these copper-clad walls could talk, they'd name-drop shamelessly. Its original occupant was political boss Abe Rueff, ousted in 1907 and sent to San Quentin for bribing city supervisors. Grammy-winning folk group The Kingston Trio bought the tower in the 1960s, and the Grateful Dead recorded in the basement. Since 1972 it's been owned by The Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola, who occasionally shares office space with The Joy Luck Club director Wayne Wang and Academy Award-winning actor/director Sean Penn.
During Prohibition, Columbus Tower housed a speakeasy – now you can sip Coppola wines in plain sight, around the heated sidewalk tables of ground-floor Cafe Zoetrope .

Knuble's back!
Too many people go through life complaining about their problems. I've always believed that if you took one tenth of the energy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you'd be surprised by how well things can work out.
― Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture
like the Knuble signing. yes, he's 40.. i'm not thinkin the guy is gonna be a 20 goal scorer or anything. character guy, can park in front of the net.
as for the game, great effort and once again nothing to show for it.
i like the "jam" so far, but we're gonna have to put one in the back of the net here soon. try scoring the first goal for a change.
Knuble's back? Yay.......
If he can contribute on the 3rd line, just even a little, I guess I'm okay with it. Seems more like a desperation move than anything.....

i like couturier infront of the net with giroux and simmonds on the PP ... lot of length and size ... nice to see luke schenn has a decent shot.
I honestly hope they don't overreact and make a trade just 'cuz. It's a rough start, but there's a lot of youth and we should have money next year to play with. No need to do anything hasty.
Quantity of shots is nice. Only wish the quality followed.
Tortorella is running his first line into the ground. Nash/Richards have been out FOUR shifts already!
Well...Giroux & Timonen already have 10 mins of ice time as well. Lots of ice time for top lines, esp. considering NYR played a tough game with BOS last night.
Hopefully MDZ, Girardi, and Staal wear down a bit.

It was warm, yet breezy. I searched for her amidst a sea of artists, all with their tattoos, uber cool sunglasses, and tighter than normal clothes. Yes, it was art in Orange County. And I loved it. I found my sister, Alexandria, working on Tom's Shoes and a line waiting for her.
And I was proud.
Alexandria recently graduated from art school and is quite talented (although I might be biased). She was one of the chosen artists work on a Tom's Shoes and Active Ride Shop collaboration at the Irvine Spectrum yesterday. Throngs of people showed up to purchase a pair of Tom's and a featured artist would customize the shoes for the wearer. It was the story. Alexandria gave her time and talent to this amazing event and I was proud. Of her. Of the event. Of Tom's.
Each artist was given a GIVE frame to design and I immediately knew this was my sister's….
For those who aren't familiar with Tom's Shoes, for every pair of shoes purchased, a pair will be given to a shoeless child…the event's goal is 10,000 shoes and I can't wait for them to blow this number out of the water!
I love the Irvine Spectrum…I'm pretty much there everyday (much to JD's chagrin when he finds my receipts) and it was awesome to see the Spectrum host such a great event…
Here's Alexandria talking about her customizations…
A few samples of her work…
Alexandria was working for many hours, so I dropped by with Jamba Juice for a little extra pick-me-up….but nothing could take the smile from her face…
Happy Sunday!

Thank you so much for highlighting the TOMS event. I always love seeing people all over recognizing and sporting this noble and worthy cause! As always, your pictures are unique and beautiful. I love your perspectives you shot from, like the stage shot, where you didn't just take a crowd shot or a profile of the band, but got them both in and had the TOMS signs standing out in their shining blue.
Very cool! Amazing artwork & an amazing thing to do Alexandra!7.25.10 - 6:38 pm
what a neat program. Your sister is really talented – she really does make those "plain" shoes look like true designer shoes. I'd love to have a pair of those. Does she do her own inspirations or does she personalize depending on the recipient?7.25.10 - 6:40 pm

Setting Up a First-time Solo Studio?
My only major furniture limits (other than a modest budget) are that I own a dark brown leather chair and sofa that I am very attached to, and a big Ikea brown-black desk and dresser which I am planning on putting in the closet. I work from home most of the time, so an office area is particularly important to me. I'm thinking of using the dining area for that purpose. I'd like a sleeper sofa rather than a bed, but am not sure where to find an inexpensive and well-designed alternative to my standard choice of an Ikea wooden futon. I own a lot of books and love big bookcases. Finally, the apartment has a "solarium" (their word, not mine). I've already gotten permission to remove and store the French doors which will open up the space, but I have no clue how to make use of it. I've read a lot of great suggestions for studio layouts on AT. Any advice on my space would be greatly appreciated! Editor: Rachael- we love the floorplan of your new place. If you aren't a big eat-at-the-table person, we agree that setting up the dining room as an office would work- you might want to give it a library feel by lining your bookcases along the walls as well. The solarium would make a sweet reading nook- your bookcases and a deep cushy chair might also work in that space (depending on the size). We're opening this up to our talented readers who are bound to have even more ideas!

Nuclear Costs Fuel Bill
An energy subcommittee in the state House is scheduled to hear testimony today about a bill that would punish Southern Company for cost overruns at Plant Voglte near Augusta. The bill is a sign of buyer's remorse in the case of the expensive new nuclear project that rate-payers are financing in advance. The bill would trim the company's profits to penalize it for higher costs.

Skip to comments.Pick up a rock on federal land, go to jail?
Posted on 02/23/2009 4:38:30 PM PST by Joiseydude
WASHINGTON A land management bill that swept through the U.S. Senate last month and is headed for a House vote this week punishes rock collectors and paleontologists with arrest and expropriation of their cars and other equipment for even unknowingly disturbing fossils on public land, say critics.
In the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, a "forfeiture" provision would let the government confiscate "all vehicles and equipment of any person" who digs up or removes a rock or a bone from federal land that meets the bill's broad definition of "paleontological resource," says a report by Jon Berlau of the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

Clear violation of the 4th Amendment brought to you by the war on drugs.
What about illegals coming in over the border? Are they exempt?
Glad this wasn't around in 2007!
The Fed own too much land. The want us concentrated in cities where they can control and tax us better.
It's always been unlawful to take rocks from government lands but confiscating your vehicle is taking things too far.
So where did you steal rocks from?
Nothing new really. When I was in the upper penninsula last July we had to be carefull about collecting agates on the beaches. Between state and federal lands you really have to be carefull. It's been that way for years.
I could see someone walking out with a rock stuck in their shoe tread...
hmmm..could that now extend to any private property owned/mortgaged with the soon to be nationalized banks?
You bet your arse! I love collecting rocks and fossils! This is ridiculous!
"for even unknowingly disturbing fossils"
I always get a kick out of this . . . the average slob has to KNOW ALL THE LAWS THAT ARE PASSED, but a common, two-bit criminal has to have his rights read to him (ala Miranda) because he might NOT KNOW THE LAW, and will be freed if he wasn't informed of his rights (that he didn't know).
What am I missing?
Well...uh...I .....Never! But I did take a #1 and #2 on government land.
These rules have been around for a while. Sounds like they are increasing penalties.
My wife and I were at Fort Jefferson National Monument at the Dry Tortugas, a group of islands 70 miles west of Key West by boat. We were boarded by National Marine Sanctuary personnel who wanted to snoop around the boat some, checked fish for size limits and then came across a bucket of dead shells we had gathered beachcombing, they really flipped out when they saw we had some small pieces of dead coral that we found on the beach.
Got ticketed, fined, wasted half a day dealing with 5 different Federal agencies.
A nightmare.

"Beware politicians writing law in a hurry."
Drop the last three words and it be more accurate.
Yep, rural cleansing.
Welcome to the New Direction Amerika, comrades!
Sheesh... I hate that. S/b "... and it would be more accurate."
Well then, I am totally screwed then ... way too many times than I care to imagine have my skis and associated footwear (boots, bindings, etc) picked up little pieces of 'whatever' from *government* ski areas Belleayre, Gore, and Whiteface mountains ... GEEZ, one of thems little pieces of 'whatever' might have been some fossilized remains which hold the clue to the Universe as a whole, and here I am riding around with them for years on the floor of my SUV .... Totally SCREWED!
/sarc off
If these rocks are so valuable, can I just go ahead and pay my taxes using rocks that I have on my own land? That's fair, right? Then the govt can replenish its collection that it appears to be so worried about.
Gardeners beware. Only the rich will be able to afford the permits, but the rich will be eating out anyway. Those spring tulips? Proof that you are an evil... digger.
What's the penalty for hunting the Kings deer
You can pretty much drop all but the first two.
Sounds reasonable.
"Whats the penalty for hunting the Kings deer"
You will be informed of the penalty when you get caught.
(a) In General- A person may not--
(1) excavate, remove, damage, or otherwise alter or deface or attempt to excavate, remove, damage, or otherwise alter or deface any paleontological resources located on Federal land unless such activity is conducted in accordance with this subtitle;
(2) exchange, transport, export, receive, or offer to exchange, transport, export, or receive any paleontological resource if the person knew or should have known such resource to have been excavated or removed from Federal land in violation of any provisions, rule, regulation, law, ordinance, or permit in effect under Federal law, including this subtitle; or
(3) sell or purchase or offer to sell or purchase any paleontological resource if the person knew or should have known such resource to have been excavated, removed, sold, purchased, exchanged, transported, or received from Federal land.
(a) Rewards- The Secretary may pay from penalties collected under section 6306 or 6307 or from appropriated funds...
Anyone who has an arrowhead or fossil collection at home had better carefully document the dates they collected or purchased whatever they have.
Anyone who has an arrowhead or fossil collection had better not ever show it to their liberal friends or anyone else who may turn them in for the reward.
Pick up a rock and they confiscate your car.
Pick up a hooker and they confiscate your car.
Drive to fast and they confiscate your car.
Get caught with a joint in your car and they confiscate your car.
I believe that we have a trend starting here.
I'm gonna enjoy the next revolution. (gonna was deliberately mispelt.)
Coming soon to a backyard near you.
For a good review of the problem, read Tony Hilerman's Thief of Time. It is a great murder mystery in which Lt Joe Leaphorn and his sidekick Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police chase pot thieves and archeologists from Chaco Canyon to Bluff Utah and the Smithsonian.
I wonder if the politicans are gonna start raising our taxes even more to afford putting little tiny tags on the rocks..kinda like those on pillows and mattresses.
I figured this was coming. Have they repealed the 1872 mining laws yet?
As an old miner, I've clashed with the Feds more than once over "guvmint rocks".
The Forest Service even set their chief drug enforcement agent on my tail for nearly a year. I guess 'government rocks' (off of legally staked mining claims) are more important than the marijuana plantations and illegal aliens with AK47s guarding them in the national forests.
After the Feds lost their case, my lawyer said I'd better give up the claims anyway, for my own safety, because the guy was literally hoping for the opportunity to shoot me.
And this was during the G.H.W.Bush years. I can only imagine an 0bama minion in charge of guarding those irreplaceable government rocks.
During my navy days we stopped ship and took our workboats in to Fort Jefferson for a day on the beach. Excellent place!
I remember pulling a this huge starfish about 14 inches round and 5 or 6 inches thick from the moat around the fort. It was a doosy. I got jumped on pretty bad for disturbing it.
This law will double cover reservations. We all be guilty then just for living among ancient ruins and picking up rocks for slingshots.
Not to mention the nasty sting from the Starfish!
You'll be breaking the law every time your drive on federal property now and get a piece of gravel embedded between your tire treads.
Um, starfish do not sting, jellyfish do.
Rock collecting is more fun and exciting when it is illegal.
K ... me bad :(
Until you have to walk by an arrowhead, or can't pick up a pretty rock on the ground. Mining, excavation, etc,,i can see. But no exception for a few stones here and there?
Their goal is to always be "in your face". They want you to always be forced to stop and think, about them and their rules.
I think that is part of this bill. Go to goldprospectors.org and sign up for the GPAA forum there. It's free to sign up and post. There is a lot of posting about this or something similar. The proposed changes came when Bush was in office but aren't being put into law until now.
Sounds like part of the bailout for the auto companies.
I believe that we have a trend starting here.
Im gonna enjoy the next revolution. (gonna was deliberately mispelt.)
Good point but the sheeple are much too complacent to revolt.
It has been illegal to remove rocks/fossils/artifacts from federal lands for many years due to mass marketing and disruption/destruction of possible archaeological sites...the stakes have just gone up, that's all.And the feds do control too much land, particularly out west...now might be a good time to resurrect the sagebrush rebellion.
Nothing new? You mean you think they have been confiscating peoples cars for years because they pick up a rock? I suppose you are ok with the government being able to seize your property whenever they get the whim. They are passing more and more confiscation laws. The drug laws were a foot in the door and now they want to confiscate everything we own and won't stop until they can do it for a traffic violation.
The Greeks have similar laws around the Parthenon and some of their other treasures. To protect these sites they have a crew that "salts" the area around them with small stones every week. God be praised, no one has successfully taken a 2 ton granite block yet and the thieves are overjoyed to have a 1 inch chunk of rock to show the idiots back in Iowa. Somehow we have been blessed with too many idiots in our park service lately.
You nor I can pick up a rock but the federal government can sell the timber and mineral rights to companies and reap the rewards. We own these parks what's our cut of the timber and mineral profits made from our land which we still have to pay to step foot on? Did you ever get a check in the mail? I know I never have.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Scd Better than dearer alternatives We have just moved into a house which was in much need of 'sprucing up'. As such, we have been doing a lot of painting. We bought this paint to accompany a more expensive other paint which wouldn't quite cover the whole room. We we're very surprised to find out that this paint went further, went on better, and left a nicer finish than a couple of much more expensive paints we bought for other walls. We chose silk as it is a north facing room, and wanted the light to reflect. It does this perfectly, and without looking to shiny. Overall, we have been very happy with Dulux paint on a whole. We also used dulux for our landing, which unfortunatley is covered in woodchip, and found again, it went on better, and went further than other brands. We used much less of this than we did of other paints, to a better finish. Excellent quality, value and finish. Very happy with it. 04 December 2011

Those Stay-Forever Sidewalk Bridges
By THOMAS J. LUECK
Published: November 19, 1989
TEN years after falling masonry killed a Barbard College student and inspired a rigorous new law governing the maintenance of building facades in New York City, vast expanses of Manhattan sidewalk have been covered by scaffolding and protective bridges in a surge of facade repairs.
The repairs, applauded by city officials and some civic organizations, are in many cases exceeding those mandated by Local Law 10, adopted in 1980. The law is intended only to insure public safety, requiring the owners of buildings taller than six stories to have their facades professionally inspected every five years, and to repair or remove anything that might fall off.
Now, having had their first detailed inspections in decades -- the first in 1982, the second in 1987 -- many of the city's older buildings are undergoing facade repairs that have more to do with structural quality than pedestrian safety. Windows are being replaced, bricks cleaned, cornices painted and terra-cotta ornaments restored.
''The law has raised the consciousness of the city,'' said Walter Melvin, the principal in Walter Melvin Architects, a Manhattan firm, which specializes in facade work. ''People are looking up and becoming aware of things on their facades that they never knew existed.''
But while it is welcomed in some quarters, Local Law 10 is also extracting a high cost in esthetics and sidewalk congestion. Some find a grim irony in a law that is beautifying the upper stories of tall buildings but covering so much sidewalk with protective structures that the buildings' facades are hidden from view.
''We can't allow these sidealk bridges to stay up ad infinitum,'' said Charles M. Smith, the city's Commissioner of Buildings, whose department is reponsible for enforcing Local Law 10. He added that the city had been besieged with ''very legitimate complaints'' and was preparing to ''remedy the situation'' with legislative proposals.
Local Law 10 was prompted by the death of Grace Gold, a Barnard freshman who was killed in 1979 by masonry that fell from a Columbia University building at Broadway and 115th Street. Its enforcement gained impetus in 1981, when Mayda Alsace, a 28-year-old Legal Aid Society atttorney was killed by bricks that fell from 66 Court Street, near Livingston Street in downtown Brooklyn. No deaths or serious injuries have occurred since in that fashion, the Buildings Department said.
The scaffolding that is used in repairing facades has in some cases proven more hazardous than falling pieces on the facade. In the most recent case, on Oct. 3, a weight used to keep the scaffolding in place fell to the street from the 17th floor of the same Brooklyn building --66 Court Street -- killing John Dauway, a 48-year-old court officer. Though the sidewalk in front of the building was covered by a protective bridge, the weight bounced off a parapet on the 14th floor and landed in front of 62 Court Street, a neighboring building where no sidewalk bridges had been installed.
THE city now imposes no limit on how long the sidewalk bridges may remain in place. The companies that rent them out provide little economic incentive to perform repairs quickly, and repair decisions have been postponed by many building owners even after the sidewalk structures have gone up.
A result in some neighborhoods is that sidewalks have been covered for years, with little evidence that facade work is nearing completion.
''People on the first floor of our building haven't seen daylight in three years,'' said Malcolm Frouman, the art director at Business Week magazine and a member of the board of a 12-story co-op at 895 West End Avenue at 104th Street that remains surrounded by sidewalk bridges.
The building's problem is not unusual. After the bridges were erected for a minor facade repair in early 1986 more serious problems were found and the larger repairs were repeatedly delayed. With the bridges in place, the co-op board consulted architects and engineers, debated how to proceed and settled on a construction program in which damaged terra-cotta details on the facade are being replaced with ornately cast concrete, and other restoration work is being done the goes beyond the requirements of the law.
Mr. Smith said he had prepared a recommendation to the City Council to enact technical changes in Buildings Department procedures. If approved, the changes would allow the department to force the removal of some sidewalk bridges, but would not set a time limit in all cases.
Under current policy, property owners performing work required by Local Law 10 are granted a building notice by the city that lets them erect sidewalk bridges. The notice expires in 12 months, but is easily renewed. Problems in the facade that are deemed to pose an immediate hazard must be corrected within 30 days, or a maximum of 90 days if an extension is granted by the city.
But many problems are not considered urgent and property owners can take years to have the work done. When the owners also elect to combine Local Law 10 repairs with other facade improvements, their work schedules are stretched out even further, and the sidewalk bridges usually remain standing.

Dell XPS 14z laptop (preview)
Dell XPS 14z preview: A 14in laptop that packs a lot power into its small body
- To be determined when we do our full review
- To be determined when we do our full review
Bottom Line
We'll know more when we test it, but going by the specs, size and price point of this unit, we think it will be an attractive option for anyone who wants a mobile laptop that won't be sluggish when it comes to performance.
Price$ 1,199.00 (AUD)
Special Offers
Dell's XPS laptop line up will expand on 15 November, which is the date when the XPS 14z will be released here in Australia. The 14z is based on the same basic design as the XPS 15z, except that it's smaller and feels a little better to use (based on our brief encounter with it yesterday). It will be available either with an Intel Core i5 or Core i7 full voltage CPU, up to 8GB of RAM and storage options will include a 256GB solid state drive in addition to 7200rpm hard drives.
The 14z looks a lot like the 15z, but it has narrower speakers either side of the keyboard and the screen's bezel is very thin. Dell says it's a 14in screen that's been crammed into a case designed for a 13in laptop — it's 335mm wide and 234mm deep. Nevertheless, it still has a native resolution of 1366x768 (the same as a 13in laptop) and there is a black border between the screen and the bezel. This is similar to what we saw in the Acer TravelMate 8481G.
The thickness of the 14z is around 25mm and it has a reported starting weight of 1.98kg. It feels very well built thanks to its one-piece anodised aluminium chassis and magnesium alloy palm rest — there was barely any noticeable movement in the chassis when we tried to bend it.
The chassis has enough room for a slot-loading DVD burner as well as two USB ports (one is USB 3.0 capable), Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI 1.4, Mini DisplayPort and microphone and headphone ports. In an Adamo-like design, all but the audio ports are located at the rear of the chassis, which helps keep a neat desk, but which can be inconvenient for plugging in USB sticks, for example. The audio ports reside on the left side with the SD card slot.
The right side has the slot-loading DVD burner, and next to that is a handy battery indicator. You can check to see how much of the 8-cell battery's life is left without booting up — simply press the button. The battery itself is sealed in the unit, and like the RAM and storage drive, it's not a user-serviceable part. Dell says it can last over six hours.
We've already mentioned that the 14z will be available with Core i5 and Core i7 CPUs, but dedicated graphics will also be available, in the form of an NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M adapter with 1GB of RAM and Optimus switching technology. Having so much processing power in a relatively small chassis requires an efficient cooling design and Dell reckons the vents at the rear and left side of the unit, as well as the breathing holes on the base will be enough to stop the unit from getting overly warm, even while using it on your lap.
One thing we were critical of when reviewing the 15z was its keyboard, which felt quite cheap. The same keyboard design is used on the 14z, but we think it felt a little more comfortable to type on this time around, perhaps because it's a scaled down version. It's a spill-resistant keyboard, and it's also backlit. If you look at the images in our XPS 14z gallery, you can see that it looks quite nice when illuminated.
Other features of the Dell 14z include a 1.3-megapixel webcam, Bluetooth 3.0 and dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230). It will ship with Windows 7 Home Premium, so it's definitely a consumer-focused notebook, but Dell says that business users will also be catered to if they want this model.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Recently one of our program directors, Hattie, got the chance to travel to Monroe County, TN to be a part of the latest Kids Wish Network On Tour event. Hattie works side-by-side with last week's Staff Scoop star Jeannette, and she agreed that the best part of her role here at KWN is seeing smiles on the faces of all the kids. "The high point of the event was definitely getting to meet everyone and sharing the experience with all of those smiling kids," says Hattie as she looks back on the weekend. "It was truly exhilarating!"
Coming from a mother's perspective, being a part of the event made her feel grateful for her own opportunities to shower her son with gifts. "It felt good to see kids the same age as my own son receiving toys and bikes. I can understand how times can get tough when you're raising children and being a part of an event that helped kids who aren't used to it was absolutely gratifying."
This was Hattie's first time traveling with KWN On Tour and she loved it. She actually got to see all of the work she has done come to fruition and meet many of the people with whom she'd been coordinating the event over the phone. She looks forward to her next event, when she will get to travel to Brownfield, TX. "It was great to meet all of the people and to see how everyone and everything came together to really make the event a special one!" Hattie got to meet Madisonville Police Chief Gregg Breeden, Sergeant Bill Bivins, Judge Ted Cagle, Miss Pre-Teen Tennessee, and all of the wonderful volunteers… but for Hattie, the greatness didn't stop there: "I got to shoot the t-shirt gun!" she adds with excitement.
"The whole event was great, but I absolutely had a blast shooting the t-shirt gun into the crowd of kids and their families!"
Overall, the Kids Wish Network On Tour event in Monroe County was a great experience for Hattie. Getting to be so close to such a caring community of people and the joy and happiness brought to children in need gave her a whole new perspective on her own role within Kids Wish Network! "I'm proud to be part of an organization that can do so much for children who have so little."

Public financing plan for Shorewood project approved by Village Board
A plan to provide over $8 million in public financing to help pay for a $35 million apartment and retail development in Shorewood has been approved by the Village Board.
The board voted 6-0 late Monday night to approve the financing plan, and zoning approval, for a six-story building west of N. Oakland Ave. and south of E. Kenmore Place, on the parking lot for Nehring's Sendik's grocery store.
The new building, to be developed by Mandel Group Inc. and RE Enterprises LLC, will relocate Walgreens from its current location across Kenmore Place, and feature 84 apartments on the upper floors.
The project will include two parking decks, one under the apartments and the other to be built just west of Sendik's. They will provide spaces for the apartment residents, and residents of a nearby apartment building operated by Katz Properties Inc.
The parking decks also will provide around 150 free parking spaces for day-time customers of Walgreens, Sendik's and other nearby businesses, with the village charging fees for overnight parking.
The initial financing proposal called for Shorewood to provide a $4.1 million grant, and a $3.5 million loan. The loan will be repaid by Mandel Group and RE Enterprises through the project's rental income.
The public financing also includes another $1 million to build more public parking spaces, a change requested by village officials. That money will come from property taxes generated by new developments on Oakland Ave., and from village parking revenue.
The village's debt will be repaid over an estimated 18 years through a tax incremental financing district, according to a study by the village's consulting firm, Ehlers & Associates Inc.
Once the debt is repaid, the property taxes from the project will go to the village, its school district and other local governments.
The main financing will be $21.7 million in bonds, to be issued by the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority, said Richard Lincoln, Mandel Group senior vice president for development.
The authority is not the lender, and Mandel is responsible for repaying the debt to bond purchasers. By issuing them in the authority's name, the bonds are tax-exempt--so the bond purchasers accept a lower interest rate.
In return, Mandel is required to set aside 20% of the apartments for people earning no more than 60% of the area's median income.
Those 17 units, a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, will have rents ranging from roughly $775 to $1,100. The remaining units will rent for $1,200 to $2,000.
Lincoln said the Village Board's approval paves the way to complete the project's financing, which will include $4.4 million in equity financing from Mandel Group and its investors.
The project also needs approval from the Joint Review Board, which has representatives from all local governments affected by the financing plan.
The review board meets Thursday. The Shorewood School Board, which has one vote on the review board, has already voted to oppose the financing plan, citing concerns over effects on the school district's revenue.
Mandel plans to begin construction this fall. Walgreens could move to the new building by the fall of 2012, with the apartments completed by early spring of 2013.

Common Council rejects apartment high-rise behind Goll House
A proposed $55 million 27-story apartment tower for Milwaukee's east side has been rejected by the Common Council.
The council on Tuesday voted 10-5 to support the project, falling two votes short of the supermajority needed for approval. The zoning change needed 12 votes because a protest petition was signed by enough adjacent property owners, said Ald. Ashanti Hamilton, council president.
The opponents were Ald. Robert Bauman, whose district includes the site, along with aldermen Cavalier Johnson, Mark Borkowski, Jose Perez and Tony Zielinski.

Alexander Hawkins and his sextet
As part of Piano Season on the BBC, Jez Nelson presents an exclusive session by British pianist Alexander Hawkins and his sextet. Hawkins is one of the most distinctive pianists to have emerged in the last few years, embracing the avant-garde improvisation tradition as well as drawing on a wide range of jazz and classical influences. He co-leads the transatlantic Convergence Quartet with cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum and plays Hammond organ in trio Decoy, who recently collaborated with veteran saxophonist Joe McPhee. The debut of his UK-based six-piece ensemble was widely received as one of the best albums of 2009, and this session features new material from an as yet unrecorded third album. The group combines composed themes with delicately constructed collective improvisation, and its new line-up features violinist Dylan Bates, reeds player Shabaka Hutchings, guitarist Otto Fischer, bass player Neil Charles and Tom Skinner on drums.
Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producers: Peggy Sutton & Chris Elcombe.

Alpha Protocol is a bit under-rated, I reckon - I thoroughly enjoyed the plot, even if the gameplay was a little rough around the edges.
bluemaxima @bluemaximaSeptember 24, 2011 4:41 pm
I wish I could agree, but I couldn't get the game working for more than five minutes.
Sam GuestSeptember 24, 2011 4:42 pm
Forced my mate to buy Alpha Protocol at that price. He WILL play it and he WILL enjoy it gorramit it. I got it for $7.50 in a past steam sale and would happily have payed full price for it had I known how much I'd enjoy it, those sneaky reviews put me off.
Lanky_Mikey @lanky_mikeySeptember 24, 2011 5:29 pm
Didn't Alpha Protocol receive a couple of decent patches that fixed a few of the technical issues with the game?
$3 is oh so tempting but I dont think I can afford to add anything else to my pile of shame atm, especially if Im not going to get any achievements for playing it :P
strand0410 @strand0410September 25, 2011 8:45 pm
$3 is about right. But like many people, I have more games in my Steam library than I have time to play them. Money's no longer even an issue, it took a lot of effort to put enough time aside to finish Deus Ex. I'm not sure I can do the same with Alpha Protocol, no matter how cheap it is.

Lesofat Puggle dogs are considered hybrids. Lesofat This basically means they are a cross between two different purebreds. Lesofat In the Puggle case, lesofat this would be a Beagle and a Pug. Lesofat The Puggle can also be referred to as a crossbreed, lesofat even though this term can also refer to a mongrel - a dog that has only one known purebred in their genes.
Lesofat Unlike mongrels or mutts that are usually the result of an unintentional crossbreed, lesofat hybrid dogs breed, lesofat whether they began as mutts or not, lesofat is purposely bred to create a specific breed type. Lesofat Hybrid dogs like the Puggle are known as "designer dogs". Lesofat Designer dogs are popular hybrids that have been purposely created using two specific purebred dogs.
Lesofat Of course, lesofat not all "designer dogs" are bred for the purpose of suiting the latest fad. Lesofat The Labradoodle is a good example of this. Lesofat Unlike breeding a Beagle and Pug for fashion, lesofat a Labrador and Standard Poodle were initially bred to create a hypoallergenic guide dog. Lesofat In other words, lesofat the original cross breeding that resulted in the Labradoodle was intentional, lesofat and is still trying to be perfected so it can be recognized as a purebred dog.
Lesofat Although most hybrids are selectively bred to create a breed that features all of the great characteristics of its two parents, lesofat sometimes there is no actual thought process in the creation of such breeds. Lesofat For instance, lesofat although Puggle dogs are very sweet and sociable dogs, lesofat they were bred for no other purpose than to be a family pet.
Lesofat They are not hypoallergenic and they are still prone to Pug breathing problems, lesofat which can be made worse because of their love for hunting that has been passed to them through their Beagle genes. Lesofat For reasons such as this, lesofat many purebred breeders argue that designer dog breeding is irresponsible.
Lesofat Despite what some breeders may think, lesofat the fact of the matter is that hybrid dogs are very popular, lesofat and often make excellent family pets and generally tend to be very healthy and happy breeds.
Lesofat It is also important to point out that a hybrid dog is not considered a "true breed" due to the fact that they don't have an official breed standard. Lesofat For this reason, lesofat they are not recognized by any national kennel club. Lesofat In addition, lesofat not being a true breed means that each Puggle litter produced will be different each time.
Lesofat Nonetheless, lesofat even though Puggle dogs may not have a "true" standard to their name, lesofat the fact remains that this special hybrid is in high demand, lesofat and is loved by many. Lesofat After all, lesofat who says a dog needs an official standard to be considered a great pal and a one-of-a-kind friend.

I booked my holiday and car hire with Expedia and whilst on holiday the car hire company failed to provide a car. The car hire company Budget Car Rental wouldn't pick up the telephone and when they did they made promises that they never kept. Therefore I turned to Expedia customer services to help fix the problem.
In short, Expedia customer support staff are very polite, well spoken. They are very good at good at giving you assurance that they can relate to your problem and a sense of urgency, however then they appear to go away and not follow up and you have to contact them time and time again before someone finally fixes the problem
I am now working with Expedia to try and get compensation for the
loss days of car hire and additional costs incurred. The process is slow and becoming tiresome

The Social Security Administration left a few loose ends hanging when it did a major reorganization of its information technology investment management procedures last year, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.
In 2011, the SSA realigned its Office of the Chief Information Officer, consolidating functions with its Office of Systems, to oversee about $1.6 billion in IT investments per year. However, the changes were made "without adequate planning or updated guidance," Valerie Melvin, director of information management and technology resources for the GAO, testified to a House subcommittee on May 9.
If the changes went into effect under the right conditions, the new structure would be fine, Melvin said. However, the SSA did not take all the necessary steps to ensure effectiveness, she added.
"We found in our review that the realignment was undertaken without the benefit of an analysis of the impact of this significant organizational change," Melvin said.
SSA did not develop a management plan that identified potential bumps along the way. Nor did it specify time frames, resources, performance measures, and accountability measures needed to overcome anticipated challenges, Melvin added.
SSA managers also did not analyze the roles and responsibilities needed to support the changes in functions, GAO found.
"Without such an analysis, it cannot be determined whether the reassignment of staff that occurred as a result of the realignment represents an optimal allocation of resources," Melvin said.
Finally, SSA has not updated its capital planning and investment control guidance to support the management change, and now parts of that guidance are obsolete, Melvin added.
SSA officials told the GAO that the guidance was being updated and would be reviewed internally, but they were not able to provide a schedule for those activities.
Melvin also found other shortcomings in the SSA's management of IT systems.
For example, she said the SSA has not fully established performance measures or a review process to measure how far along it is in its modernization efforts.
Also, while the agency developed an IT strategic plan in 2007, that plan is now outdated and may not be aligned with the agency's overall strategic plan, Melvin said.
She made four recommendations for improvements, including setting up performance measures, updating the strategic plan, defining roles and responsibilities for IT staff and establishing an enterprise architecture with key elements.
SSA officials did not agree or disagree with the recommendations, Melvin said in her remarks, which she made at a hearing of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Social Security.

The Blues defender made his first appearance in a month last weekend after a lay-off with a hamstring injury.
Terry had been a regular fixture in the Chelsea first-team this season before an injury forced him off during the 5-1 Premier League win over Newcastle United last month.
The centre-half will be hoping to feature when the Blues welcome the Hammers to west London for Saturday's Premier League clash.
And the Chelsea skipper looked to be in good shape as Guus Hiddink's men completed their final preparations for the Premier League clash at Upton Park.
Terry posted the picture above on his personal Instagram account on Friday afternoon and wrote: "@chelseafc Training @kenedy @pato #Matic"
