B.Mus.'93, B.Mus.Ed. '94, currently enrolled in M.Mus., Vocal Performance and Pedagogy
Current Location: St. John's, NL
Professionally: Shelley is a singer who doesn't like to limit herself to one style of music. She likes to say that she sings everyday and some days is lucky enough to get paid for it! One night you can find her singing Vissi D'arte with the Newfoundland Symphony and the next, Mambo Italiano at the Majestic Theatre. Her voice teacher at the School of Music was Dr. Caroline Hart and Shelley contributes her decision to go on and further her musical studies after MUN to Dr. Hart's encouragement. After finishing her conjoint program in '94 Shelley continued her studies at the University of Toronto where she obtained an Artist Diploma (Honours) in 1996 and also an Opera Diploma (Honours) in 1999. Afterward she sang with the Canadian Opera Company for two seasons until deciding to move back to St. John's. About her decision, Shelley says "This city has always had an appeal that is rooted deeply within me.... And it is not just because I was born here. I love Newfoundland, its challenges and all it has to offer."
In September 2006 Shelley returned to MUN to begin a Master of Music under Dr. Caroline Schiller. She decided it was the right time to go back, having done all kinds of other music related activities over the years. From dinner theatre and church choir conducting to singing at weddings/wedding receptions and acting as a television personality: if you can name it, Shelley did it. With all the different threads of her professional life, Shelley came to feel she wanted to focus on singing and nothing else for a while. She felt the program here was geared towards what she wanted as a musician and that coupled with learning invaluable pedagogical techniques in voice, made MUN the right choice for her. "My two greatest loves are singing and teaching singing to others. Here I get the opportunity to concentrate on both."
This past summer Shelley was in Italy participating in a five-week, intensive workshop at The Centre for Opera in Suloma Italy (COSI). In this its inaugural year, COSI brought together opera performers and internationally renowned opera faculty to workshop and perform Le Nozze di Figaro, in which Shelley landed the important role of Marcellina. This program gave her a chance to focus on her voice and acting by working with top experts such as Darryl Edwards (Head of Voice Studies at University of Toronto), Martin Isepp (internationally renowned Mozart expert) and Wendy Nielsen (Operatic Soprano). She describes these five weeks as having helped to move her forward artistically and helped er to see a clearer vision of her future in opera – and it's an exciting one!
Memories of MUN Music: Some of Shelley's favorite memories of her time as an undergrad include her education internship time in Harlow, England and singing in the Chamber Choir, "I remember singing the solo in "The Morning Dew" with the Chamber Choir, an arrangement by Dr DF Cook with him conducting. Before the performance, he told me that he knew I would sing the solo like no one before. Well... let's just say, it seems I do extremely well when 'praise' is involved!"
"I have always attributed my time at Memorial for being instrumental in helping me be the musician that I am today. As an undergrad, every aspect of music making was all very foreign. The faculty were helpful and always encouraging. Now I look back on the new, first year students today at the School of Music and remember when I was a first year. I didn't have much in the way of piano proficiency and theory skills, but I worked hard and had many late nights in the practice rooms. I know the frustrations that young musicians can be faced with and that they can overcome. Memorial has given me the necessary skills and the confidence to be an active member in today's competitive music scene."

Growing edibles inevitably means growing snails, especially because our garden is organic and hospitable to wildlife. We have a big snail population snacking on our carefully tended leafy vegetables. One day our Test Garden Coordinator suggested that we eat them. Eat them? As in—escargots?
That was definitely the French approach to dealing with snails in the garden. But were ours the type of snails that could be eaten? And, most important, how would we make them taste like the French gourmet item served in overpriced restaurants?

WASHINGTON, D.C., November 21, 2013 – Alliance for Justice President Nan Aron issued the following statement in response to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's decision to move to change Senate rules:
Alliance for Justice commends Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for his courageous decision to end the unprecedented abuse of Senate rules by a Republican minority dedicated to obstruction-at-all-costs.
This was not a decision made easily or taken lightly. There was no choice. The Republican minority had turned the existing rules into weapons of mass obstruction. Most recently, they acknowledged that they had no grounds to oppose on the merits President Obama's supremely qualified nominees for the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. But they filibustered those nominees anyway.
This change in the rules is the only way to return the Senate to its place as the world's greatest deliberative body; it is the only way to ensure that the Senate can put the well-being of the American people ahead of the political interests of an extremist minority.
Alliance for Justice is a national association of over 100 organizations, representing a broad array of groups committed to progressive values and the creation of an equitable, just, and free society. Through our justice programs, we lead the progressive community in the fight for a fair judiciary, and through our advocacy programs, we help nonprofits and foundations to realize their advocacy potential.

Bite turbos are small metal or acrylic (pink/tooth color) blocks that are placed in the front (anterior bite turbo) or back (posterior bite turbo) of your mouth in order for the teeth to move more rapidly. When the teeth aren't biting together tightly (as they did before braces were placed) they can freely move into the correct position.
When you first get a bite turbo it may feel as though you can't bite at all – this feeling is temporary. Your teeth will come together enough to eat "brace-friendly" foods. To make it easier to chew, make sure the food you eat is a little bit bigger than the size of the space where the teeth aren't touching. Also, always cut or tear off pieces of food and place it in your mouth where the back teeth can chew correctly.
When you wear an anterior bite turbo, never bite into any food with your front teeth. Instead, cut or tear off pieces of foods and place food into your mouth where the back teeth can chew it correctly.
These turbos do not cause pain and will most likely remain on your teeth for the length of treatment. If a turbo comes off, please call our office during regular business hours to schedule an appointment for it to be replaced. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the bite turbos, just give us a call.

Rancho Mirage To Annex Valuable Land
Rancho Mirage, CALIF. - The Rancho Mirage City Council moved Thursday to add 193 valuable acres to the city near the new Bob Hope Interchange.
The council voted to annex the land north of Ramon Road, across the street from the Agua Caliente Casino, Resort, Spa.
Mayor Dana Hobart hopes the developer will construct hotels and stores to attract commuters driving down Interstate 10, heading toward Los Angeles or Phoenix.
"It's not so much people coming to the Coachella Valley but people traveling across the country," Hobart said.
"We live off bed tax and sales tax so it's extremely important to the city."
Hobart is talking about the kind of traveler who used to stop at Victor Khori's Shell Gas Station on Ramon Road and Varner in Thousand Palms before the new interchange shifted the exit -- and his customers -- further down on Varner.
"I've had to fire seven employees and I'm constantly working now," Khori said.
When the Ramon Road exit was shut down, Khori said it killed his business. He used to sell an average of 180,000 gallons of gas a month; he said business is down to 40,000 now.
"There's nothing wrong with development," Khori said. "I'm one-hundred percent for it."
"I just don't understand -- why can't we have two exits?"

5 things to know as the Bundesliga resumesBy CIARAN FAHEY , Associated Press
Jan. 23, 2014 7:47 AM ET
BERLIN (AP) — The Bundesliga resumes after its month-long winter break with defending champion Bayern Munich in a commanding position at the season's halfway stage.

1 of 1
Pep Guardiola's side is unbeaten, has scored more goals (42) and conceded fewer (8) than any other, has dropped points only twice and leads closest challenger Bayer Leverkusen by seven points — with a game in hand. While Leverkusen, Borussia Moenchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund hope to put the brakes on Bayern's title charge, their immediate concern will be qualifying for the lucrative Champions League. Wolfsburg, Hertha Berlin and Schalke are all close behind. Here are five things to know before the 18th round of games:
After claiming five titles in 2013 and going the whole year without defeat in the Bundesliga, Bayern faces the task of improving on their near perfection in 2014. "We won't win the Champions League every season, but it would obviously be wonderful if we were always one of the top four teams," Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said.
Bayern's 41-game unbeaten streak is a Bundesliga record. Steaua Bucharest's European record of 104 league games unbeaten (1986-89) is still some way off, but Arsenal's Premier League record of 49 games (2003-04), and AC Milan's 58-game run in Italy (1991-93) are both within reach. No team has ever completed a Bundesliga season unbeaten.
Bayern starts the year with a difficult trip to Borussia Moenchengladbach on Friday. Third-place Moenchengladbach is unbeaten at home this season.
Borussia Dortmund was supposed to be Bayern's main challenger but a lack of efficiency and costly errors has combined to leave Juergen Klopp's side already 12 points behind Bayern. It could be 15 if Bayern wins its game in hand at Stuttgart on Wednesday. Dortmund's winter training camp in Spain did not go all to plan, with midfielder Nuri Sahin suffering a broken nose and Ilkay Gundogan, who had been out for months with a back problem, sent home with bronchitis. Last Saturday's 6-1 friendly win over third-division Duisburg has restored some optimism.
Fourth-place Dortmund welcomes Augsburg on Saturday. Augsburg was one of the surprise teams of the opening half to the season, with solid performances lifting it to eighth.
Fifth-place Wolfsburg hopes the attention-grabbing winter capture of Kevin de Bruyne from Chelsea will help the side clinch one of the four Champions League qualification places. Kicker reports that Wolfsburg sealed the deal for 22 million euros ($30 million), making the Belgian attacking midfielder the Bundesliga's most expensive winter transfer.
"We've got an agenda and we want to start breathing down the necks of the teams ahead of us," Wolfsburg coach Dieter Hecking said.
De Bruyne's arrival gives Hecking a conundrum, with five players — De Bruyne, Maximilian Arnold, Daniel Caligiuri, Diego and Ivan Perisic — now competing for three places.
Wolfsburg hosts Hannover on Saturday. The visiting side arrives with new coach Tayfun Korkut after firing Mirko Slomka in the winter break. Hannover, which is 13th, also brought in Latvia striker Artjoms Rudnevs from Bundesliga rival Hamburger SV until the end of the season.
The bottom sides, Eintracht Braunschweig and Nuremberg, both have 11 points, but can take heart as four clubs previously survived relegation after being in the same position at the halfway stage since 1995-96. Augsburg managed to survive after claiming just nine points in the first half of the season.
Nuremberg is still waiting for its first win, however, with free-scoring Hoffenheim visiting on Saturday. Braunschweig visits northern rival Werder Bremen on Sunday, with hopes pinned on winter signing Havard Nielsen to improve the promoted side's meagre haul of 10 goals. The 20-year-old Norway striker failed to live up to expectations at previous club Salzburg of Austria.
Both Hamburger SV and Schalke are hoping their fortunes change for the better in 2014. Champions League participation is Schalke's target — the Gelsenkirchen-based club faces Real Madrid in this year's round of 16 — while Hamburg's ambitions have dwindled to avoiding a relegation fight. Hamburg, which was initially targeting the European qualification places, is just two points above Freiburg in the relegation play-off place.
Hamburg coach Bert van Marwijk is missing goalkeeper Rene Adler (ankle injury), attacking midfielder Maximilian Beister (cruciate ligament) and midfielder Tomas Rincon (suspension), while Marcel Jansen is doubtful with flu.
Schalke also has injury problems, with Julian Draxler (thigh) and Jan Kirchhoff (ankle) definitely out and a host of other players doubtful.
The sides clash in Hamburg on Sunday.

Conflicts in government attitude toward whole grains
BakingBusiness.com, Oct. 1, 2013
by Josh Sosland
For a number of years, the Food and Drug Administration has taken the view that the mounting zeal for whole grains has gotten ahead of what is evident from a sober look at the scientific data. Even as many in the public health community extol the nutritional and disease fighting benefits of whole grains relative to white flour, the F.D.A. has said the scientific literature allows little to be said categorically beyond the digestive benefits of fiber.
Even more recently, this position has changed little. In response to a 2012 industry petition to allow a health claim, the F.D.A. was tepid in its assessment of what the science supports today regarding whole grains and reduced risk of Type 2 diabetes. The F.D.A. acknowledged that studies provide some evidence of benefits, but said the claim of "a risk reduction relationship, while credible, falls near the lower end of the 'limited' category and should be described as 'very limited' in food labeling to avoid misleading consumers."
It is difficult to reconcile this guarded attitude from the federal government with its enthusiastic move to upend school meal program guidelines with rigid requirements that half of all grains offered during the school week be whole grains. The inconsistent approach seems geared toward squeezing out enriched grains without fully embracing the healthfulness of whole grains and sends confounding signals to a grain-based foods industry wholly committed to meeting the needs of its entire range of customers.

Al Jefferson: 'I would've traded me for Kevin Garnett, too' and other memories of Rajon Rondo and the 2006-07 Celtics
|11.15.12 at 1:40 pm ET
During the 2006-07 NBA season, when the Celtics finished last in the Atlantic Division and earned the No. 5 overall pick (Jeff Green) that became Ray Allen trade bait and eventually altered the franchise's future, I bought a ticket to the Garden for $8. Eight dollars. Even on a measly sportswriter's salary, that was a bargain.
As Tommy Heinsohn said, the young core of Al Jefferson, Rajon Rondo, Kendrick Perkins, Tony Allen and Delonte West consisted of players who were "like puppies: Every time you saw them, you wanted to pet them."
"We used to have a lot of laughs together, because when I was here, things weren't going too well as far as winning," Jefferson said. "But we always had the locker room live with me, [Rondo], Tony Allen, Kendrick Perkins and Delonte West. We all kept it live, and we were fun guys to be around. In the time we were here, when we were losing, we hardly ever got blown out. It was always close games, but we were just such a young team, we didn't know how to finish those games. I knew if we could've stayed together, things could've got better for us."
Considering how those players evolved — a double-double machine (Jefferson), a three-time NBA All-Star point guard (Rondo), a first-team All-Defensive wing (Allen), a starting center on a title team (Perkins) and one tough motherbleeper (West) — that team would've gotten better. Those Celtics wouldn't have won a title in 2008, but you can see why some folks (wrongfully) thought twice about trading Jefferson as the centerpiece of a fairly famous 2007 trade.
"If I were Danny Ainge," said Jefferson, "I would've traded me for Kevin Garnett, too."
While those two — forever linked by that deal — have had their share of altercations in the past, including double technicals when they faced each other in Boston last season, Jefferson holds no ill will toward Garnett or the Celtics.
"I get up for KG because he's just that type of player," said Jefferson, who totaled 13 points and 14 rebounds for the Jazz in their 98-93 loss to his former team Wednesday night. "It isn't really anything about the trade or anything like that. He's just that type of player that you've got to step up for. If you don't, you'll get embarrassed. You know what I mean?
"I look up to KG. He made the way for me. I was a big fan of his when I was in high school, so that's just the type of game that you've got to step up for, when you play a Hall of Fame player like that."
As a Class of 2004 senior at Prentiss (Miss.) High, while he was admiring Garnett, Jefferson averaged 43 points, 18 rebounds and seven blocks, presenting the opportunity to meet Rajon Rondo for the first time.
"I saw him being this type of player when we were back in high school in the McDonald's All-American Game," said Jefferson, who amassed 16 points and 11 rebounds in 16 minutes during that '04 contest (Rondo's line: 14-4-4 in 15 minutes). "I knew he was going to be something special, because he's just got a high IQ for the game."
In two month's time, the Celtics selected Jefferson in the first round of the 2004 NBA draft at No. 15 overall. Two years later, they traded for Rondo at No. 21. The two played just one season together in Boston, but Jefferson remembers Rondo as "a funny dude" who kept the locker room light, showing similar off-the-court leadership qualities to the ones that resulted in a team-wide flag football game in Los Angeles this summer. On the court?
"To me, the only thing I felt like he needed was a jump shot, but he's hitting that consistent now," said Jefferson, who averaged 16 points and 11 boards for the C's in 2006-07. "I think the sky's the limit, because you can't stay in front of him, and now he's hitting that jumper. Teams have to respect it, so he's just getting better and better. That's one thing about this league: To stay in it, you've got to continue to get better every year, and he's doing that."
Flash forward five years later: Rondo takes 4.4 shots from 16-23 feet, knocking down 49 percent of them — both career highs. That forces opposing guards to fight over the top and opposing bigs to hedge on pick-and-rolls.
"If a big's going to show on Rondo, we're getting something for Kevin," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said prior to Wednesday's game. "We're rolling Kevin now more than popping him, and that's for the same reason, because Rondo is making that shot. The more he makes that shot, the more things we can run."
Sure enough, when Jefferson hedged on Rondo in the second quarter, KG slipped in for the alley-oop.
"It changes [how you defend Rondo] big-time," Jefferson said. "You used to be able to sag off him and help on other guys, but you can't now, especially when he's hitting that jumper and attacking that basket, so it's hard to defend them. When they're going, they're going is tough."
Strange how things have come full circle in Boston from Jefferson's perspective. The aging Garnett, who continues "punking" Big Al years after they were traded for one another, and the young Rondo he once knew as a teammate have become one and the same — best friends leading the C's on opposite ends of the floor.
"Doc does a great job taking [Garnett] out early and having him in there for crunch time," Jefferson said. "By him being out there, he doesn't really have to score a lot of points, he doesn't really have to be big-time on offense, but just his presence out there on defense has really helped that team. It's amazing watching."
Added Jefferson: "I think the sky's the limit for Rondo. I think what he does for the Celtics offense is exactly what KG does for their defense. So, I think sky's the limit for him. Rondo probably has a chance to be one of the great point guards to play the game. He's only 26, so he's got a long way to go."
So, too, does the 27-year-old Jefferson, and the respect is mutual. When the Jazz visited Boston last season, Rivers — the coach who trained those 2006-07 puppies — treated Big Al to dinner. This season?
"Screw Al," joked Rivers. "I don't have time for him. He's too good now."
Added the C's coach: "He just keeps getting better and better. The thing I thought I'd never say about Al: He's becoming a better passer. And I'm very happy about that for him. He just keeps working on his game. … Making that playoff run, and he was a big part of it last year, has re-stoked him, and that's good. He's a heck of a guy."
As it turns out, Jefferson becomes a free agent this summer for the first time since signing a five-year, $65 million extension with the Timberwolves after the Garnett trade (he was traded again to Utah in 2010 for a pair of first-round picks and Kosta Koufos), and he's not ruling out a return to the city where his NBA career started.
'This is my first home,' Jefferson said. 'This will always be my home away from home. Danny Ainge gave me a chance when nobody else did. If that situation were to happen, I'd love to do that again. But right now, like I said, it's all about taking care of business and finishing out the season right.'
Actually, if the Celtics and Jefferson are hoping to reunite, a trade this season is the most likely scenario. After all the contracts the C's handed out this past summer, they could only offer the $5 million mid-level exception, and Jefferson isn't taking a $10 million pay cut from his current deal. But considering Utah's frontcourt logjam (Paul Millsap, Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter), don't be surprised if the Celtics try rescuing their lost puppy.

Walton County Paddle Trail is envisioned
By DOTTY NIST
A Walton County commissioner is working to make a unique experience on the Choctawhatchee River available for county residents and visitors.
With the approval of the Walton County Board of County Commissioners (BCC), District 1 Commissioner Brannon recently submitted a grant application for the 57-mile-long Choctawhatchee River Paddle Trail. The canoe/kayak trail would link three river landings with stops at other trail head locations, including Morrison Springs and Black Creek.
The grant is through the Recreational Trails Program administered by the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), in coordination with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration.
Brannon calls the paddle trail proposal the "brainchild" of William Cleckley. Cleckley is director for the Northwest Florida Water Management District's Division of Land Management and Acquisition. The water management district owns and manages close to 61,000 acres along the Choctawhatchee River in Walton, Holmes and Washington counties. Walton County owns most of the public access points along the river, while the water management district owns the Dead River Landing access park, which is maintained by the county through an agreement with the district.
Brannon said he was shown a list of Florida's designated paddling trails and realized that most counties already have canoe and kayak trails. Walton County currently does not, but the county does have a number of landings along the Choctawhatchee and also several natural springs capable of being accessed from the river.
Brannon saw designating a paddle trail along the Choctawhatchee as a way to promote enjoyment of the county's "precious natural resources" and "educate the public about our environment around us." Brannon commented, "Protection of the environment starts with understanding it. This is an opportunity to provide recreation for our citizens and to help ecotourism."
The project is envisioned as a cooperative effort of Walton County and the Northwest Florida Water Management District. It would consist of the rehabilitation and construction of a number of canoe trail heads along the river. with probable locations to include Morrison Springs Park, River Road Landing, Dead River Landing, Cowford Landing, and Black Creek.
Holmes County has also expressed interest in a link between Walton County's Choctawhatchee Paddle Trail and the state-designated Holmes Creek Paddling Trail, at the confluence of the river and the creek several miles north of Cowford Landing.
The plans include intersecting the Choctawhatchee Paddle Trail with the Florida National Scenic Trail near the Cowford Landing at SR-20.
The 57-mile trip would afford opportunities for exploration of native vegetation and animals, and for fishing and camping. Visitation of several archaeological sites along the river would also be possible.
At each trail head, multi-use ramps would be provided not only for canoes and kayaks but also for motorboats. Canoe racks and picnic pavilions would be available at trail heads and, at some locations, small screened stuctures for overnight camping to facilitate multi-day trips.
A maximum grant of $200,000 is possible in 2011 for the project through the Recreational Trails Program. Matching funds are required from the grant recipient. The Northwest Florida Water Management District has agreed to provide $50,000 in funding for this purpose, and $50,000 from the Walton County District 1 Recreational Fee account has been identified.
Brannon is enthusiastic about the ecotourism potential of the paddle trail and the ability for trailgoers to utilize a phone app being developed by the South Walton Tourist Development Council to navigate the trail.
He is optimistic about the county's chance of being approved for the grant and is hopeful of the paddle trail and associated facilities being in place by summer 2012.

Jody Shelley's latest suspension keeps him out as Bruins raise banner
|09.23.11 at 1:01 am ET
When the Bruins raise their Stanley Cup champions banner against the Flyers on Oct. 6, one Philadelphia villain will be watching from the press box.
Jody Shelley was suspended 10 total games (the remaining five preseason games as well as the first five games of the regular season for his hit on Darryl Boyce in Wednesday's preseason game between the Flyers and Leafs.
Bruins fans should know Shelley's name well, as the Flyers forward's dangerous hit on Adam McQuaid last season earned him an early exit from the two teams' Dec. 11 meeting as well as a two-game suspension.
Shelley got another two games for sucker-punching Vancouver (and former BC and Bruins) defenseman Andrew Alberts on Dec. 28. This season, he didn't wait until December to be suspended, and new disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan hasn't waited long to hand out suspensions.
Shanahan also suspended Flames forward Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond for the rest of the preseason and one regular season game for hitting Canucks forward Matt Clackson from behind.
The league sent out a couple of released regarding the suspensions late Thursday night, and Shanahan noted that Shelley's status as a repeat offender played a role in his suspension.
'Shelley hit Boyce squarely from behind into the glass,' Shanahan said in a release sent out by the NHL. 'Boyce's back was turned toward Shelley well before the contact, requiring that Shelley avoid or minimize the check. He did neither.
'Shelley's two suspensions last season weighed heavily in this decision.'

I took the car into the dealer last week and of course they could not repeat the problem since it only happens when the car is not driven for a couple of days. They said everything was fine according to the tests they ran and that the fans will not come on immediately since the air is cold. This I knew. I video taped the problem earlier this week when it occurred to show the dealer when I go in next week. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any idea what it could be?
try dropping it off for a weekend?

You decide: no casinos or BPT cuts?
Our friends over at Old Philly Politics A.K.A. The Public Record have a pretty interesting editorial in this week's paper. The crux of it is this:
In a campaign that proved wildly popular with the citizenry, Mike Nutter proposed to spend more on police, health programs, arts programs, schools and Community College. He is opening up new offices in City Hall as fast as desks can be delivered – for business, culture, public relations, transportation, zoning and housing, to name but a few.
At the same time, Nutter is determined to keep cutting the City's destructive business and wage taxes. Great! In the long run, a healthier business environment will pump revenues in a healthier way.
In the short term, however, it looks like we're walking into a recession. That can wreak havoc with the Mayor's best-laid plans. If a general economic downturn affects our region, a wide range of business and wage taxes will drop.
The real-estate market is cooling off at the same time. This will lead to lower earnings from the transfer tax.
The city cannot afford, in 2008, to turn away any longer from the immediate economic benefits of casino construction.
I think slots casinos are one of the worst ideas for economic development proposed for this city in a long time (right up there with raising Black Bottom for Penn in the 50's, "slum clearance" on South Street via the Crosstown Expressway, stadiums and convention centers, etc. And could only be made worse by adding tables games to the mix). I am very happy they have still not been built.
However, this editorial (and the front-page story of the Public Record) make it clear that pro-casino forces are getting antsy.
And positioning casino revenue as a way to fund BPT tax cuts is very, very interesting to me.
I am curious to know who is pushing this idea behind the scenes and how much traction it will gain. It's certainly an argument that could put a lot of us in a weird place, i.e. united.
How about both?
I agree that casinos are not necessarily sound social policy. Act 71, however, has survived numerous constitutional challenges (including one I worked on until saviors Irv and John came in to prosecute it) and is likely not going anywhere anytime soon.
Casino revenue has always been crucial to a reduction in the wage and property taxes of our citizens, which is one reason why so many folks want casinos. Also, because while the permanant (non-construction) jobs aren't great, they are jobs--something this city sorely needs.
Let's not even discuss the scores of construction work that will occur.
The most disasterous affects of casinos are not in its societal bad, but for the homeowners and communities where these casinos are presently to be located. Already overburdened with traffic, congestion and development, some of these communities are being asked to host a casino and the many thousands of cars, pedestrians and visitors per day. That is unjust. In fact, it is unjust to hoist a casino in any community without, at the very least, consent.
The benefits of casinos for the construction industry (of which I am a part of), the communities who want them moved (of which I am a part of), for those who want to pay a smaller wage tax (which I certainly wouldn't turn down), for those who want the $10-$15 an hour jobs and everyone else in this city can be met with one simple word: RE-SITING.
Re-siting to more appropriate locations is a victory for everyone.
Forget the issue of table games and prohibiting them. Work with the 24 aligned civic groups to move these casinos to better places.

Relocating Casinos
I am against the casinos for three main reasons; they have a high negative social cost and associated governmental costs in terms of additional services they will necessitate; they will largely be a shifting of recreational and discretionary spending dollars from within the region (e.g. fewer trips to the movies, less meals out in restaurants); and they represent a failure of government to raise money in an honest way, such as increased taxes or higher user fees. That being said, the argument of relocating casinos to better sites strikes me as being somewhat specious. While the Delaware Avenue locations are problematic from land use and transportation perspectives, any other potential locations in Philadelphia are going to have various problems associated with their locations, and any other potential locations are also going to face NIMBYism arguments from the local community. Even if we ignored the practicality of changing the casino sites at this late hour, if we picked a site in a largely desolate area (or at least one without a lot of residents) for a casino, say by the airport, at the Navy Yard, or in a remote part of Fairmount Park, there would be opposition from neighbors of the nearest and nearby communities and from other people, say business people in the case of the Navy Yard or airport, that would be impacted by the transportation and other ramifications of casinos in those locations.
On a somewhat different note, years ago, somewhat in jest, I offered up an out of the box location for casinos, having the "casinos" be on SEPTA's regional rail (which ironically is largely comprised of railroad cars, which are boxes, but I digress). You have a wealthy demographic in terms of regional rail users and most of the infrastructure in place (trains). There would be no near neighbors in that the trains would be moving when the gaming took place. SEPTA as the house could get a cut of the gaming revenue. There could be gaming and non-gaming rail cars. The technology exists to have seat back video slots with payment and wins paid by and to a debit or credit card (the pending new SEPTA fare card could even be used for this purpose with rewards given to gamers in terms of free rides on SEPTA). To clarify, this paragraph is out of the box thinking.
The cold reality is that, regardless of what we think about the social costs of gaming, Philadelphia in 10 years is more likely to have a casino than not.
As a result, Philadelphians must make a choice, will we allow the casinos sites that were chosen with little community input, that had no zoning review similar to other large projects and which stems port development at it roots--or do we want to reopen the process and choose sites based on actual study and review? My decision, along with that of the majority of civic associations from South Philadelphia through Fishtown has consistently been the latter.
Concerns re the siting of casinos are legion. They fail to take into account road and sewage construction planned for the next 20 years. They fail to address the slightest concerns regarding traffic planning, water discharge and other enviromental issues. Further, there is presently no public safety plan offered by the operators of either casino related to their siting on a costal emergency route.
These are questions we have been asking since before the Gaming Board decision and adjudication. You describe the call to re-site as being at the late hour. The call against sites occurred prior to December 20, 2006. The call to re-site started on December 21, 2006. Our elected officials, including Councilman DiCicco, Rep. O'Brien and Sen. Fumo have led, even after some times of disagreement, the movement to re-site.
Sometimes reality and idealism require compromise. In this case, a review of casino locations and movement to the airport, navy yard, or in one of the many old industrial sites with more separation from communities is a fine compromise for me and the vast majority of the folks I've been working with for a long time now. Over 8 months ago, Councilman DiCicco offered the governor more acceptable sites. Sites that would remain commercially viable, be close to transport and would have greater separations from communities. The Governor rejected that list without study.
If you consider the re-siting argument late, you should note the anti-gaming position in Philadelphia was no where to be found in July 2004 when Act 71 became law. That too was founded in 2006.

ok, but..
They are still not here Gaetano. I don't know who to credit--CFP or the neighborhood groups or what--but they are not here and that is awesome.
But I didn't write my post to debate casinos' merits. My point is more about how pro-casino folks are basically making it sound like we can't have BPT cuts without raking in dough from casinos.
It is an odd positioning, and an interesting one. And I wonder who is really behind it.
The folks who want casinos
The folks who want casinos and/or stand the most to benefit from them being built tomorrow instead of six months or a year from tomorrow. Think about who those people are as it is not appropriate for me to name names.
As for why there are still two holes in the ground, all groups deserve credit. It is time to move the issue along and resolve the siting situation. Folks, the communities need help. It is as simple as that. The pro-gaming today interests are powerful ones and we're relying solely on volunteers, some of whom have had their business suffer due to the time they've spent protecting their homes.

A Quagmire of Decline
The pro-casino forces, of course, have been connecting their issues to everything from creating more jobs (untrue), decreasing property tax (short-term true but long-term untrue), bringing in tourists (definitely untrue), and revitalizing the riverfront (shockingly untrue).
What's most bold is that editorial's closing line: "[not building casinos today] risks squandering the momentum of change and slipping back into another holding pattern or worse, another quagmire of decline." The author both supports Nutter and, then, accuses his policy of reviewing casino's location and economic benefits as a possible example of quagmire of decline.
The "build them now" folks are getting ansy. If you missed this, check out this article in Plan Philly where they point out that SugarHouse is nervous about buying their land (for $70 million) out of fear they might not be able to build on it.
SugarHouse and Foxwoods have upped their spending on local advertising campaigns and aggressive lobbying. They can keep trying to connect their greed with other things; but it's always been about a group of well-connected rich guys trying to find a new way for them to make money.

Morehead City boat explosion ruled an accident
MOREHEAD CITY, CARTERET COUNTY - According to officials a Saturday morning boat explosion on Saturday that sent two men to the hospital has been deemed an accident according to the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Enforcement.
Previous Story:
Officials are investigating the cause of an explosion on a boat that sent two men to a hospital Saturday morning.
Dock master Mike Pollard says the explosion injured two men outside the Morehead City Yacht Basin Saturday morning.
"I heard an explosion. You know, like a small bomb. I look out the window and I see the boat on fire," Pollard said.
Pollard said the two men stopped to fill up their gas tank before going out on their first trip. He said the owner bought the pre-owned boat the day before in Oriental.
According to Pollard, with a full tank the two men moved the 28-foot Carolina Classic fishing boat to the other side of the dock. He says about twenty minutes later, when the two were trying to leave the boat wouldn't start.
Dock hand Andrew Newton says he went to get a battery charger for them from inside when he heard an explosion.
"I saw a ball of fire come off the boat," Newton said.
Newton helped put out the fire with an extinguisher, while Pollard and another man helped get the two injured men off the boat.
Both men were taken to Carteret General Hospital. One of the victims was airlifted to another hospital shortly after arriving to Carteret General Hospital, according to officials.
The boat was taken to Town Creek Marina for inspection.
Previous Story:
Two men have been injured as a result of a boat explosion in Morehead City.
Morehead City Fire/EMS officials say they received the call at 9:46 this morning, saying that there had been a boat explosion at the Morehead City Yacht Basin. They say the U.S. Coast Guard and Army Reserve Center personnel also heard the explosion, and responded to the scene.
Officials say when they arrived, they found a 28 foot Carolina Classic fishing vessel tied to the dock. They say there was significant damage to the vessel as a result of the explosion.
They say two men were found on the dock, having sustained injuries. Both were taken to Carteret General Hospital.
Residents living nearby say a loud explosion could be heard, and that two men were injured and taken to a burn center. One of the men was flown to another facility.
Witnesses say the boat had just been filled with fuel when the explosion occurred. Some used fire extinguishers to control the fire.
The Army Reserve and Atlantic Beach Fire Department deployed absorbent booms to absorb fuel which may have leaked into the water. At this time, they believe leakage was minimal.
Authorities say at this time,NC Wildlife and Marine Fisheries is investigating the cause of the incident.

|The Psychology of Mac Zealots
|Today's Top Stories
(Column) - It's true that fanboys, regardless of what company they support, are annoying. Very annoying, in fact. But today, I'm going to side with the Mac Zealots and attempt to see why they behave the way they do. Obviously, this isn't truly exclusive to Mac users. My theory could be applied to any group that supports a particular company, especially if the company happens to be the underdog in its respective industry. This could be Linux, Apple OS X (i.e., the Mac community), AMD and a plethora of others.
Many of these companies target a very exclusive group of users, and if this group is going to support an underdog product or a platform, then they are naturally going to be very vocal and protective about it. If they want others to join their community (who doesn't?), then they are going to make sure their voices are heard. As a result, many of them get involved in heated debates to attempt to conform the mainstream users to see their perspective. Even though there's nothing wrong with that, fanboyism pushes the limit just a tad bit, and that's what makes the whole concept annoying.
I wouldn't dare say these groups are insecure. They aren't. They are just too passionate and out of touch with reality to notice that mainstream users just don't care about half of the features that make Linux, OS X and AMD a collective group of great products and companies. For mainstream users, price is probably the main deciding factor, and they are only interested in a product that gets the job done. That's it. No frills or whistles. As long as the PC does what they wish for it to do at a cost effective price point, they have no problem with it whatsoever.
The Political Hoopla Between Intel and OLPC
For fanboys (and I use the term with utmost respect, at least for this article), their appetite to support their favorite company to beat the big, bad corporate heavyweights gets delusional at times. And why not? After all, we all like to cheer the underdog... reasonably. In addition to cheering for the little guy, fanboys also think it's their responsibility to spread the word about their favorite company. Combine their need to do marketing on behalf of their adopted companies and their products with the passion to make others see things their way, and you have a powerful group of people.
With power comes responsibility, and considering that anonymity is the best feature we have online, it's difficult to resist the temptation in getting involved with debates every so often. I can't say I fault the fanboys all too much. Many times they are right, but they just choose to express their liking of a select company in a rather abusive manner that turns off a lot of people.
So, fanboys, take this column as a learning opportunity. Be open to other perspectives (regardless of how asinine they seem to you), and chill out, will ya? You are not going to be able to convert everyone to your favorite company, and at the end of the day, you may be doing more harm than good. To everyone else, let's give fanboys some breathing room. They need it, as it's evident by their serious dedication to their favorite companies and their products.

1.800.555.8260 We're here to help
As a registered member, you'll be able to:
I've been working for Crutchfield for 10+ years, and over time have put together a multiple TV home theater setup that I absolutely love! Before I worked for Crutchfield, I would go to a sports bar to watch NFL games on Sundays. This was sort of the genesis of my idea.
Then when I first started working at Crutchfield, I would gather all the TVs from different rooms in the house and put them together in the same room on Sunday mornings. I would then have to put them all back after the football games that night. I now permanently have a total of 4 televisions in the same room (a 32" LCD, 37" LCD, 30" CRT, and a front projector with a 100" screen mounted above the 3 TVs), with everything connected through a Denon receiver. I have the Polk Surroundbar with a Velodyne subwoofer connected to the Denon receiver.
Being a sports fan, the obvious benefit is being able to watch up to 4 games simultaneously. I have basic cable & DirecTV, and subscribe to the NFL, NBA and MLB packages. When seasons overlap, I can watch my favorite teams the Yankees and Steelers, or Lakers and Yankees, when they play at the same time. My laptop is also connected with the front projector to lookup stats and information, while watching 3 NFL games down below. I can also play video games (Gamecube and PS2) on the 100" screen, while watching sports and/or movies on any of the 3 TVs. Many times, I will have NBA or baseball games on with the sound turned off, while I watch a movie, TV program, or playing video games.
As you can guess, I'm single with no kids and I realize this may be a little over the top and not for everyone. But this is a great option for sports fans and/or video game enthusiast and doesn't have to be as complicated as my setup to watch multiple games simultaneously. Just putting this out there for the sports fan who may not have thought of doing this.
AndyCrutchfield Advisor1-800-388-2911-ext 3161
no kidding...now thats a set up...
That's fantastic! I have a similar getup in my basement for hockey season:
Very old 48" rear projection TV
my Laptop
Subscribe to the hockey game packages online and on cable so that I can watch at least 1 hockey game (outside of my home team) every other night. In some cases I'll have all three sets going.
Currently working on my MBA program. I hope to return sometime in December 2010.
Because my name is on the business, I work hard to make sure you get the best possible shopping experience. I look forward to hearing your comments .

Our hearts go out to our friends and colleagues, the students and family of Bowie State. The horror that all inabitants of college campuses pray will never befall us fell upon that storied campus on Thursday: a student murdered another, roommate upon roomate, fighting escalating to homicide.
The fact that a woman killed another is, tragically, becoming commonplace. The fact that the crime arose over a matter as inconsequential as music is chilling. The fact that "tensions" were apparent among the suitemates will cause every college administrator to go into overdrive on staff training and more risk management procedures.
No amount of hindsight will restore the promising young life of Dominique Frazier. We recognize her story almost as if she were one of our Trinity sisters. Like quite a few Trinity undergraduates, Dominique was a D.C. Achievers Scholar, the program run by the D.C. College Success Foundation. I am a board member of DC-CSF and the entire foundation family is bereft at this loss. D.C. Achievers are students from Wards 7 and 8 who receive scholarships funded by the Gates Foundation. These courageous students choose college over many negative forces trying to hold them back in their neighborhoods. They have audacious dreams to change their lives, to ensure an economically secure future for their children and families, to help their mothers begin to live in comfort and security.
Knowing what so many D.C. Achievers have to overcome just to get to college each day, the thought that any one of them would die on the college campus, itself, is an unspeakable sorrow.
And what of Alexis Simpson, the alleged assailant? Sadly, we can also recognize some of the elements of her story. She was apparently angry, unhappy with her roommate, dissatisfied with things that happened after she transferred from one college into Bowie. But while we recognize elements of her story, we cannot imagine what unfathomable rage drove her to kill her roommate over a dispute about music.
What we do know is that too many young women and men today grow up in a vengeful society, a place that teaches them to stand up to any form of "disrespect," to settle scores physically, to demand retribution for every slight no matter how small. Anger management occurs with fists, knives and guns. It's not just children from the inner city, though some of the racist commentary accompanying the Bowie State stories suggests that such violence is a matter of race and class. In fact, the violence of American society today is pervasive, penetrating the consciousness and forming the character of children everywhere.
At Trinity, we are intolerant of violence. Students may chafe at our disciplinary procedures, but in fact, we would rather accept criticism than have to live with the consequences of a violent act. So, for example, any form of fighting is forbidden, and students who live in residence who engage in fighting, threats or intimidation will be dismissed from residence and possibly from school.
Last year, we dismissed a student from Trinity who threatened another student on Twitter. Later the perpetrator said she was only kidding. We are not laughing. We will and do take the plain meaning of words very seriously.
Guns, knives and weapons of all kinds are forbidden on Trinity's campus. We can and do confiscate materials that might be weapons when we find them, and when we learn that they might be present in a student room, locker or handbag.
Classroom conduct is also covered by our policies against fighting, harassment and intimidation. Most students are here to learn, and most feel quite frustrated when a very few choose to act out in hostile and disruptive ways. Students need to be on notice that we will not tolerate threats in class, in residence, on Facebook Twitter or other social media, in emails or in the hallways.
Our entire purpose as an academic institution is to help our students grow into mature intellectual actors, completely capable of undertaking some of life's most sophisticated work with the power of advanced learning. We know that human beings can be fragile, flawed and prone to behaviors that belie the rational, intellectual self. Yet, our job is to help the members of this community discover and exalt that rarified intellectual self while controlling those parts of the human psyche that are hell bent on going off the rails in destructive ways.
As a Catholic institution we also believe that the intellectual self is a manifestation of the soul, the presence of God within us, and when faced with the influence of the baser parts of human nature, we believe that we can call upon both reason and faith to strengthen our resolve. Prayer is not just a response to tragedy, but an integral part of living well.
Let us pray for Dominque Frazier and her family, and the family of Bowie State, and also the D.C. Achievers. Even as we remember this great loss, let us also pray for Alexis Simpson and her family — their loss is also grievous. And let's also pray for our own community here at Trinity that we can be even stronger in our resolve to live, study and learn in peace and safety.

Moog Spring Excel Sheet for Coil Spring Selection
CC finally put excel files on the attachment list so here's a write-up on using the spreadsheet to find coil springs in different rates that will ride at about the same height. Microsoft excel is needed, or you can probably use google's ripoff of it....haven't tried it though. Use at your own risk, "CC" springs are variable rate and the spreadsheet won't be accurate for ride height because the spring rates are not constant. The spreadsheet also assumes your springs are mounted vertical.
Download and open the spreadsheet. Enter your corner weight for the vehicle for the corner you want to find a spring for. If you don't know your current corner weight, you will have to look up what spring you currently have using the application lookup on the fme website mentioned later, find the spring rate, find the free length, and measure the length at ride height.
Corner weight* = (Free length -measured ride height length) x spring rate.
*for constant rate springs, variable rate won't work correctly with that calculation.
Once you enter your corner weight in the green box, you'll want to highlight all the info below the black boxes and then go to "Sort & Filter"........then "Custom Sort".......then sort column J from largest to smallest(or smallest to largest if you prefer). This will put the springs in order of "Installed Spring Height" using the corner weight you entered. From there you can scroll down to the height you want to sit at and start looking for springs that suit what you want to achieve.
Looking at what I want at 640lbs/rear corner on my TJ, Spring 3224 has the right ends (PT, TG), 134lb spring rate, and a ride height of 11.61 in which is about where I want the rear of my TJ to sit.
Click the hyperlink in the excel file that will take you to
Enter your spring number in the "Part Number/Interchange" box and hit go. "3224" in this instance.
Click on the link for the part number for application info
The description tab should match the info in the spreadsheet but has more information for those that want it
The applications tab shows the "Passenger Car & Light Truck" drop down menu, click on that to show vehicle applications. In this case it happens to be 1997-2006 Jeep TJ spring.
I can look for the pricing for 3224 springs, or go look for them in the junkyard now that I know the application. If I don't like the price, I can look back in the spreadsheet for similar spring rates with about the same ride height and check the pricing on those instead.
If you want to figure out how to use excel, try youtube, I'm no expert. I attached the .xls, .xlsx, and the pdf the info came from originally.

text: Sometime ago, I purchased a diablo preditor. I went this route as it allowed me direct control of my truck. Speed limiter,re-calibration for wheels, long term fuel trims, timing and the list goes on. The benefit was to be better mpg and overall drive-ability. Now I started with the 87 tune which really woke this 8.1l up, thought there could not be much of a difference with the 91/93 octane tune, but there was a huge difference. I then added a magnaflow muffler (12599) and thought what the hell, I'd heard a lot about a diablew tune from Lew so I went ahead and ordered my tune. With the diablo, I loaded my stock tune and customized 93 tune and sent it off along with a data run. Lew worked magic and I am speechless as to the difference in this truck. It feels light,crisp and will blow the crap out of most cars/truck on the road. I got a buddy to drive my 740il bmw next to me and we stayed neck to neck until about 120, when I decided to back off. If you are looking at the best value for money performance add on this is by far the most advanced as it also allows you to tweak. By the way....just because I am offering my input ...please don't accuse me of working for them. I am and will proudly recommend Lew. He goes by 06MonteSS on the diablo website too. Try him you will not be disappointed.

COLUMBUS , Ohio – Two Ohio State University researchers – a noted glaciologist and an acclaimed inorganic chemist – have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, one of the country's most prestigious scientific honors.
Lonnie Thompson, Distinguished University Professor of geological sciences and an expert on the effects that global climate change is having on the shrinking of glaciers and ice fields around the globe, was named.
Also elected was Malcolm Chisholm, a Distinguished Professor of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, professor of chemistry and leading researcher in the field of developing "smart" materials and innovative polymers. They were among 72 new members announced by the Academy on Tuesday (5/3).
"We are elated by the news that the Academy selected two of Ohio State 's most renowned basic scientists to join its ranks," said Karen Holbrook, Ohio State President. "Both Professors Thompson and Chisholm are world-class leaders in their respective fields of research and their election today is a fitting acknowledgement of their individual accomplishments. This is further reaffirmation of Ohio State 's world-class faculty."
Rick Freeman, Dean of the College of Mathematical and Physical Sciences and professor of physics, said, "This is enormously gratifying - to see two of our finest scholars recognized by the Academy proves a point I've been trying to make since I got here.
"This university is a truly excellent institution. Midwest modesty seems to prevent people from bragging about it. I am really pleased to see the National Academy brag a little for us, by offering recognition that makes us truly proud."
For almost three decades, Thompson has led an effort to first recognize that the shrinking of tropical glaciers and ice fields is an early warning of the impact of global climate change, and second, to rescue the remaining archives of ancient climate trapped in ice cores from those locations for future research.
"We believe that that the current shrinking of ice fields around the globe are modern equivalents to the historic canaries in the coal mine that warned of imminent danger," he said. "The planet is sending us a serious signal that we should not ignore."
Earlier this year, he was one of two winners of the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement, perhaps the premier award in environmental science, energy and medicine. In recent years, he received both the Heineken Prize for Environmental Science from the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Commonwealth Award for Science and Invention, (the latter he received jointly with his spouse and research collaborator, Ellen Mosley-Thompson, professor of geography).
He has also received the Vega Medal from the Swedish Society for Anthropology and geography. He is a fellow of the American Geophysical Union and in 2001, he was named as one of "America 's Best In Science and Medicine" by Time Magazine and CNN.
Chisholm is a researcher whose research interests bridge the divide between disparate fields of chemistry, linking metallic compounds to organic ones and developing new polymers and "smart" materials for a multitude of uses. One current focus centers on the harnessing of new polymers from renewable resources, negating our dependence on petroleum compounds.
"We are looking for new ways to develop polymers using 'greener' sources such as biomass to produce compounds that are both biocompatible and biodegradable," he said. "These would be useful in a multitude of applications, from bulk packaging materials to biological implants, from new drug delivery systems to surgical sutures."
Chisholm is a fellow of the Royal Society of London, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, der Deutsche Akademie fur Naturforscher-Leopoldina, as well as a corresponding fellow of the Royal Academy of Edinburgh, Scotland.
He received the Davy Medal from the Royal Society in 1999, and the Ludwig Mond Medal from the Royal Society of Chemistry the next year. He formerly received both Sloan and Guggenheim fellowships and in 1999, he received the Award for Distinguished Service in the Advancement of Inorganic Chemistry from the American Chemical Society.
The National Academy of Sciences is a private organization of scientists and engineers dedicated to the furtherance of science and its use for the general welfare. It was established in 1863 by a congressional act of incorporation signed by Abraham Lincoln that calls on the Academy to act as an official adviser to the federal government, upon request, in any matter of science or technology.

Hidden Income Twice Official Data
China's real personal income is twice as much as the amount reported by the National Bureau of Statistics, according to a joint survey on hidden income by Credit Suisse and the China Society of Economic Reform. In 2012, the official data was 21,810 yuan per year, while the survey's average was 43,663 yuan; and basically the higher the income group, the larger the gap. The following table compares the official data and the survey data.
Group / NBS data / Survey data / Multiple
Bottom 10%: 6,876 / 9,026 / 1.31
10-20%: 10,672 / 12,646 / 1.18
20-40%: 14,498 / 17,048 / 1.18
40-60%: 19,545 / 27,061 / 1.38
60-80%: 26,420 / 45,250 / 1.71
80-90%: 35,579 / 79,654 / 2.24
Top 10%: 58,842 / 188,448 / 3.2
Manufacturing Tipped to Recover
Preliminary HSBC China manufacturing purchasing managers index rose to a 6-month high of 51.2 in September, the second straight month that the reading is above the critical 50 mark that divides expansion or contraction compared with the previous month. The final reading was 50.1 in August.
Mobile Service Users Near 1.2 Billion
Revenue from China's telecommunications services rose 7.9% year on year to 922.12 billion yuan in the first 8 months, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said. The number mobile service users increased by 83.46 million to nearly 1.2 billion during the period, including 351 million 3G service users, or 29.4% of the total. The number of broadband users increased by 14.25 million to 184 million, including 153 million household users, or 83.1% of the total.
Airlines Profit 6.4 Billion Yuan in August
China's airlines posted a combined 6.4 billion yuan profit in August, up 8% from a year ago, the Civil Aviation Administration of China said. In August passenger traffic was grew 13.1% year on year to 34.76 million people; cargo traffic edged up 1% year on year to 463,000 tons. The top 3 carriers' core business posted a 4.19 billion yuan loss for 1H 2013, so they would have been reported a combined operating loss if a combined 4.33 billion yuan foreign exchange gain was excluded.
China Buys Huge Ukrainian Agricultural Land
China plans to buy 3 million hectares (7.4 million acres) of agricultural land in Ukraine to meeting booming domestic demand for food, the South China Morning Post reported. The Xinjiang Construction Corp's deal with KSG Agro, which allows the former to grow crops and raise hogs in Ukraine, will make Ukraine China's largest offshore agricultural producer. Experts say China's food security relies on overseas expansion due to unproductive domestic soil. China feeds 20% of the world's population with only 9% of the world's arable land.

cPanel default setup does not allow to setup a Wildcard SSL for sub-domain on the same IP via its web interface. But it can be done relatively easily using the following instructions.
First install a Wildcard SSL for the primary domain as you normally would via cPanel/WHM. Use *.yourdomain.tld for your domain name so it will work on sub-domain as well.
Next you will need to copy SSL file from /var/cpanel/userdata/$USER/yourname.tld_SSL to /var/cpanel/userdata/$USER/$SUBDOMAIN.$YOURDOMAIN_SSL for each sub-domain you want to create.
For example if your primary domain is exmaple.com and a username is 'example' and you would like to create mysubdomain.exmaple.com you would need to copy /var/cpanel/userdata/example/example.com_SSL to /var/cpanel/userdata/example/mysubdomain.example.com_SSL
Now you need to edit /var/cpanel/userdata/$USER/$SUBDOMAIN.$YOURDOMAIN_SSL for each sub-domain. (/var/cpanel/userdata/example/mysubdomain.example.com_SSL as per our example above)
- update documentroot to point to your sub-domain folder (ie /home/example/subdomains/mysubdomain).
- update servername to your sub-domain (ie mysubdomain.example.com)
The last step is to run scripts/rebuildhttpdconf to rebuild the httpd.conf file with the new VirtualHosts, and restart apache by running /scripts/restartsrv_httpd.
You may get the following warning, which is normal. This warning indicates that there is more than one SSL on the same IP, which is what we want.
info [rebuildhttpdconf] 'local' datastore in use (/var/cpanel/conf/apache/local)
warn [rebuildhttpdconf] Failed to resolve duplicate SSL VirtualHosts: mysubdomain.example.com_SSL and example.com_SSL
Built /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf OK
Let me know if you have any questions.
