I lived in the Holly Brook apt complex in 2010 after selling my house. It was the worst experience of my life Read More. My apt flooded three times and the woman who managed the complex did nothing to help me while water was flowing through my apt. The following day she sent employees down to run a carpet cleaner through, which did absolutely nothing. For the next month, my apt smelled like dead people and rot. Also, the rear area of the complex was mud; children had nowhere to go outside.

Arizona became the latest program to extend a scholarship offer to Nikko Remigio, who is in the process of lining up his offseason plans as interest from colleges continues to roll in.
The four-star wide receiver from Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei told Scout.com he hasn't been giving recruiting much thought lately, but the likes of Nebraska and Connecticut have been reaching out quite a bit in recent weeks. California is another school to keep an eye on given the new interest the Golden Bears have been showing, but no offer has been made yet.
Locals UCLA and USC offered earlier in the process but Remigio said that, with the Bruins making a coaching switch at his position, he hoped to re-establish a connection there. Hear what else Remigio had to say about his recruitment at the adidas 7v7 West Coast Regional in the video above.

Botanical name: Ruellia brittoniana Family: Acanthaceae (Acanthus family)
Despite the name, this plant is not related to the usual garden petunia at all - rather, it belongs to the ruellia genus. Desert petunia is an extremely tough, drought-resistant plant with a long bloom period. is a tender evergreen perennial that forms colonies of stemmy stalks standing 3 ft in height and of indeterminate width. The strong semi-woody stalks are distinctly vertical in aspect and hold attractive dark green, leaves oppositely at the nodes. The lance-shaped leaves are to 6-12 in in length and 1.3-1.9 cm wide. When grown under hot sunny conditions the foliage assumes a metallic bluish cast. The blossoms are blue, trumpet shaped and about 1.5-2 in in diameter and are borne at the tips of the stems. Varieties with white, pink, and many shades of blue are available, as are dwarf versions that form clumps that are about 8-12 in in height.

How To invert ColorFunction
Hi everybody,
I am plotting Zernike-Polynomials like this:
c4 = 1;
z4[rho_, theta_] := rho^2*Cos[2*theta]
RevolutionPlot3D[c4*z4[rho, theta], {rho, 0, 1}, {theta, 0, 2*Pi},
ColorFunction -> "Rainbow"]
To be able to compare the plot to measured data from an
interferometer, I would like to invert the Rainbow colouring, that is
red at the bottom and blue on top. However, I can't find to work this
out. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you,

2013 Va. General Assembly Q&A
The Henrico Citizen invited each of Henrico's General Assembly members five questions about the 2013 session. The answers of those who responded by the deadline appear here.
1. What is the most important issue facing the General Assembly this year? Why?
Farrell – With it being the governor's last year in office, he has presented proposals for major changes in education and transportation. In regards to education, the General Assembly will have to consider, among other issues, the best method of determining teacher compensation to ensure optimal performance in the classroom. We must also decide on the best strategy to assist Virginia school systems that are struggling. When discussing transportation, the General Assembly must address the ever-growing issue of budgetary shortfalls over the past decade for new road construction. The governor has proposed eliminating the gas tax and a 0.8-cent increase in sales tax as a solution, and it will be up to us to decide if this is the best formula going forward to ensure the viability of Virginia's transportation funding system. Improved education and transportation systems are the pillars of a strong economic future for Virginians.
Loupassi – Education reforms. The governor has proposed a number of reforms for K-12 education, and those are likely to have a great amount of discussion. Additionally, mental health spending and the budget considerations will occupy much of our time.
Massie – The most important issue facing the legislature this year is economic growth and jobs creation. Since 2009, numerous private businesses have invested $10 billion in expanding their existing operations or starting new ones, announced 1,027 economic development projects and created 60, 865 jobs. Our investment in job- creating economic development activities here in Virginia has really paid off. Our unemployment rate in Virginia is 5.5 percent, the lowest in the Southeast and the second lowest east of the Mississippi. The national unemployment rate is 7.9 percent. As we continue to compete with other states and other countries to attract business, we need to stay energized and creative. Our citizens need the jobs and our government services need the revenues.
O'Bannon – The most important issues this year will be the budget and transportation. Both are vitally important to keeping Virginia's economic and job growth going. Transportation problems have cost us rankings nationally, and we need to deal with this problem.
McEachin – The most important issue facing the General Assembly this year is the option for Medicaid expansion. By expanding Medicaid, we will provide working Virginians with health care, create jobs and stop our federal tax dollars from going to other states. Most significantly, we will do this at absolutely no cost to Virginia for the first three years. Even after that, the federal government will always pick up at least 90 percent of the costs. In other words, we can create jobs, help our fellow Virginians and keep our hard-earned dollars in Virginia simply by supporting Medicaid expansion. Expanding Medicaid will insure between 300,000 to over 400,000 Virginians who have no health insurance, create more than 30,000 new jobs and save the state money spent for indigent care.
Stosch – On the budget side, Virginia is one of the largest beneficiaries of federal spending, particularly with the large concentration of military bases and ship building in Hampton Roads and federal workers in northern Virginia. We can deal with adversity; we can deal with good news. It is more difficult to deal with uncertainty which is what we face at this time with potential added budget pressures on our Commonwealth from federal action (or inaction). As examples, the national healthcare plan can add hundreds of millions to state spending at a time in which state funds are stagnant; how and when federal sequestration is resolved could result in significant job losses in Virginia. And, of course, there are many other implications which will impact our economy in Virginia. So, until we understand more of the specifics of impending federal action and how those actions will impact Virginia, our best course is to continue to be frugal, plan carefully and build our rainy day funds.
2. What legislation do you plan to introduce during this year's session?
Farrell – I have always made a point to support legislation that gives local government greater flexibility, and four of my bills this session do just that. House Bill 1331 provides that any county or city and certain towns may establish and maintain a defined contribution retirement plan for its employees instead of any other retirement plans. House Bill 1332 allows a local governing body to request an audit from the Auditor of Public Accounts at any time upon a majority vote. House Bill 1333 allows localities to amend service district boundaries after notice and a public hearing. House Bill 1620 allows a county to adopt an optional form of local government upon the vote of a majority of the members of its governing body.
Loupassi – I have proposed a number of bills that relate to public safety, legal efficiencies and spending. I have introduced legislation to outlaw texting while driving and synthetic drugs. I have introduced legislation to stop the government from charging separate fees for toll transponders. I have introduced a constitutional amendment to control runaway governmental spending.
Massie – My primary legislative focus this year is education. I believe that our K-12 education policies and funding are paving roads to success for our youth. Virginia is ranked the fourth-best state to raise a child in. Virginia, and in particular Henrico County, has wonderful public schools. We also have the finest system of public higher education in the country. During this 2013 session Governor McDonnell and the House Republican Caucus are proposing major education initiatives and reforms including: a 2 percent salary increase for teachers, a strategic compensation program, improving teachers' continuing contracts, improved reading achievements, a solution for failing schools, major charter school initiatives and many others. I support the governor's education reform agenda. Last year, my Educational Improvement Scholarship bill passed the General Assembly and became law. It allows for tax credits for donations to approved foundations which award scholarships to economically disadvantaged children to attend a school of their parents' choice. I will again introduce a bill for educational improvement scholarships to improve the practical applications of the scholarship process.
O'Bannon – I'm introducing a constitutional amendment to guarantee secret ballot voting in union elections in Virginia. I'm also introducing a bill to allow citizens to directly contribute to the Virginia 529 College Savings program from their state income tax refund.
McEachin – I have a variety of bills that I will be introducing. Here are three examples. I am going to introduce legislation to prohibit discrimination based on sexual identity in state employment. I also plan to introduce a bill to ensure that citizens who apply for an absentee ballot are able to request confirmation that the ballot was received. Just like voting on Election Day, Virginians should know that their votes have been recorded and will be counted. I am also introducing a bill prohibiting the governor from unilaterally imposing tolls on the interstate highways here in Virginia without General Assembly approval (and I would oppose such tolls).
Stosch – In the case of personal legislation, as the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, I typically do not introduce specific legislation other than the budget and bond bills.
3. Will you support Henrico's request to gain authority to implement a meals tax? Why or why not?
Farrell – Given the results of the 2005 referendum, the citizens of Henrico at that time clearly did not support such an increase. Therefore, I cannot support a measure that will overlook the opinion of the citizens of Henrico as illustrated by the results of that referendum in favor of the opinion of the General Assembly. I am happy to work with county officials to come up with solutions to budgetary shortfalls anticipated with the decline in real estate tax revenue which can be presented to the citizens for their approval.
Loupassi – I believe that we have a process in place for the voters to consider such a tax. Henrico voters rejected the tax a very short while ago. I think if it is to be raised, then the voters need to be asked again directly.
Massie – In the past I have voted across the board to give local elected officials the authority to manage local tax and spending decisions. However, in the case of the current Henrico County meals tax proposal, this issue was voted on, and defeated, by public referendum in 2005. Therefore, I believe that the public's decision should not be put aside now in favor of local authority. Rather I believe that the county should rely on public input for a meals tax decision. I will work with the county and my constituents to establish that channel of input. Also, I will work with the county to explore other avenues to replace depleted real estate tax revenues of recent years so that the high quality of county services can be upheld.
O'Bannon – Since Henrico recently held a referendum on this which failed, I believe we'll need to engage our constituients on this. Have placed this question on my legislative district survey and will be discussing with people in my district. Henrico is well run and has limited choices for generating revenue, especially with the real estate tax base dipping so much. Residents may feel more comfortable with a meals tax option for consideration.
McEachin – Yes, I will support this legislation. Localities should have the option to make their own decisions.
Stosch – Henrico's request for authority for a meals tax came about as a result of the county administration reaching a conclusion that current and future Henrico transportation needs cannot be met without adequate revenue from either additional real estate tax assessment or other revenues, such as a meals tax. They expressed a preference for a meals tax. An alternative would be for the state to increase its reimbursement to Henrico for maintaining what would otherwise be a state responsibility. Of all of the counties throughout Virginia, only the counties of Henrico and Arlington currently pay for their own roads. This is a matter we will have to evaluate further before the best informed decisions can be made by the legislators and the County officials to see how Henrico can be treated fairly.
4. Do you believe that Virginia should toughen gun standards, in light of the Connecticut school shooting? If so, how?
Farrell – The tragedy in Newtown, Conn., sadly highlights a growing issue stemming from many concerns. As we await the pending new federal gun regulations in Congress, carefully measured action should be taken at the state level in order to ensure lasting, positive results. I believe that we should engage in a multi-faceted approach and look at all aspects of reasonable and responsible reform, such as mental health and school safety, including school resource officer expansion. For example, Governor McDonnell has proposed $5 million for specific adult and child crisis services and an additional $1 million for children's mental health services.
Loupassi – I believe the problem is related to mental health. I will carefully consider any bills brought to me, but the devil is always, as they say, in the details.
Massie – This is not an area of public policy expertise for me. However, I do believe that school safety depends on mental health preventative practices as well as safe gun standards that do not offend the U.S. Constitution.
O'Bannon – The governor has convened a work group to deal with this. We had a school massacre at Virginia Tech and have updated our laws regarding mental health. I am not supportive of more gun laws but am very supportive of improving mental health care in the state. I am serving on this commission.
McEachin – I believe in some common sense safety measures while still supporting the Second Amendment. We need universal background checks that ensure that suspected terrorists, dangerous convicted felons and those suffering from mental illness are not able to circumvent our background check law to obtain guns. Unfortunately, now, more than 40 percent of guns are sold without background checks. The vast majority of background checks take less than two minutes. I also support a ban on high capacity magazines. Hunters and citizens using those guns for protection do not need high capacity magazines. These magazines exist simply to create violent mayhem. If the magazine size had been limited, many more victims might have survived in recent mass shootings.
5. Do you support raising the gas tax? Why or why not?
Farrell – New fuel economy standards will increase to 54.5 miles per gallon of gas by 2025, causing the gas tax to become a declining revenue source. That being said, I am willing to listen to all revenue-generating plans that help fund transportation.
Loupassi – The governor has proposed a comprehensive transportation package and we will consider all aspects of that proposal.
Massie – I don't support raising the gas tax. I believe that sustained revenue growth is best achieved through economic growth. Economic growth is best achieved via lower marginal tax rates, less regulation and litigation. This approach will yield a correlated increase in tax revenues which may then be used to fund core essential services of government, including transportation.
O'Bannon – The gas tax is certainly one option. We will be reviewing a number of proposals, some of which are quite complicated. I could support a proposal to index or raise the gas tax so long as additional revenue from some other sources is also provided.
McEachin – I support a long-term, sustainable solution to the transportation crisis. We need to repair cracks and potholes, fix our old and substandard bridges and renovate our crumbling tunnels. To do this, we must have a steady, dependable revenue source as well as make appropriate cuts and efficiencies in other spending. The gas tax is one possibility to address this problem, but I am open to certain other solutions also. However, I do oppose putting tolls on I-95 as the governor has proposed.
Stosch – Additional legislation regarding public safety, how to deal with traffic congestion and how to best maintain roads throughout Virginia will be important topics for discussion, all of which will require much debate and evaluation before any final decisions can be reached. I, along with my legislative colleagues representing Henrico, am proud of our county and will serve its citizens as faithfully and professionally as we can.

Thread: British bias against the C63 AMG Black Series? Autocar pits it against the Aston Martin V12 Vantage and XKR-S GT
British bias against the C63 AMG Black Series? Autocar pits it against the Aston Martin V12 Vantage and XKR-S GT
Autocar is a British publication that naturally employs British reviewers. When two British cars are chosen to go up against a single German is it truly possibly for the British reviewer to remain unbiased? The Jaguar XKR-S GT with its 5.0 liter supercharged 542 horsepower V8 and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S with its 565 horsepower are both excellent cars but these are the best driver's cars Jaguar and Aston Martin honestly have to offer. AMG has higher performance options as do the other German makes.
The reality is Jaguar and Aston Martin have been getting beat up by the Germans for what seems like decades now. Aston Martin is even going to AMG for technology as they have fallen so far behind with their now ancient V12. The editors at Autocar do not even acknowledge this fact.
Ok, so how do the cars stack up around the track? Well, it's difficult to say. The reviewer states he can not put the power down in the Mercedes. He states the track is wet making the Jaguar a handful. The conditions are working against cars with sport rubber. The Pirelli Pzero Corsa tires on the Jaguar for example contribute to its slow laptime considering the tires are a max performance compound designed for use in the dry. What is the point of even taking the cars out in these conditions when the cars can not truly show what they are capable of? They might as well run them during a blizzard and throw a regular Audi A4 into the mix that thanks to Quattro will come out on top.
The Aston comes out a half second ahead of the C63 Black Series which itself is a few seconds ahead of the Jaguar. Without the cars being able to have full grip the results do not mean much of anything. BenzBoost would be embarrassed to publish such a track comparison and it should be beneath supposed professionals as the results for each car will change significantly in the dry.
The Aston Martin is picked as the winner and it is said it wins rather easily. Based on a lap in the wet by the British reviewer, really? Even despite the fact the Mercedes C63 Black Series undercuts the Aston's price by almost 20,000 British pounds? The only thing that is easily identifiable here Autocar is what a joke this comparison is. As is calling yourselves, "the world's leading motoring magazine and website."

I fully agree. I would have bashed them harder myself. It's like when Topgear tested an XKRS against a GTR on a fully soaked track. What a joke! XKR, XKRS, and the XKR GT have yet to get tested in the dry! Didn't Chris Harris test a GT in the wet as well?
I have no idea WTF the point is of testing these cars in the wet. Wait until it's dry or move to another country.
They care more about putting out content, any content, than good content.
Is there any $#@!ing british car review that doesn't have a wet track or is raining? For $#@!s sakes, its the same $#@! over and over, why can't they wait till it dries up to review cars? is it raining 300+ days a year or something up there? $#@!...

The intifadeh's over, and the Israelis won by Zev Chafets
Lets hope this guy is not premature.
There has been no official declaration, no formal surrender, but the Al Aqsa intifadeh, launched by Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat two years ago, is over. As usual, the Palestinians have lost. "All forms of Palestinian violence have to stop," Arafat's military chief, Abdel Razak Yehiyeh, told an interviewer. "All resistance acts that are characterized by violence, such as using arms or even stones ... are harmful."
Only six months ago, Palestinian military leaders thought they had an unstoppable weapon - suicide bombers. But Operation Defensive Shield, March's much-maligned Israeli invasion of the West Bank, changed the situation dramatically.
"When we began Defensive Shield, there were roughly 70 senior terrorists in the northern West Bank," says an Israeli security analyst. "They were the hard core, responsible for hundreds of killings. Today there are fewer than 10 left, and it's just a matter of time before we catch up to them."

Business Law Brief Transitions to DC's First Comprehensive Business Law Review
American University Washington College of Law's Business Law Brief, a student-run publication launched in 2004, is making the transition to a full law journal starting in 2011. The new Business Law Review will significantly increase law review opportunities for students and will make its mark as the first comprehensive business law journal in Washington, DC.
"We are thrilled with the immense forward progress of our business law programs," said Dean Claudio Grossman. "The work and dedication of all the students and faculty members involved has ensured that the new Business Law Review will not only be a perfect addition to the law school's business offerings but also become a driving force in the field of Business Law."
The Business Law Brief, which focuses on the synergy between the legal profession and the business world, has published twice a year since 2004 and currently has a circulation of more than 12,000. The Brief, which was recognized by the American Bar Association as the Legal Magazine of the Year for 2004-2005, will build upon its accomplishments in a transition to a law journal this year.
Filling a DC Business Law Void
The movement to a journal started in 2009 when then editor-in-chief of the Brief David Wiseman '10 and other members of the publication's board began to push the idea. "The student body at the law school had grown since the last journal was added," said Wiseman, who is now principal at restaurant consulting company Roadside Organics. "We wanted to create more opportunities for students to gain journal experience, especially in this tough job market."
Wiseman and the Brief staff also found that no other business law journals existed at DC law schools, and noted that the law school had a chance to fill a void. They brought the idea for a Business Law Review to Professors Andy Pike and David Snyder who helped create a proposal, spread the word, and gain support for a new Business Law Review.
"Without the support of Professor Pike and Professor Snyder the creation of the Review would not have happened," he said. "The support of Dean Grossman and the faculty proved that AU wants to continue to meet the changing needs of its students."
Snyder, who is also director of business law programs at the law school, said the new law review will permit the students to recruit more top scholars to write longer articles of lasting value, while allowing students themselves to publish their own research and writing.
"The Business Law Program here is beginning to get noticed by scholars around the country, and a serious academic journal will continue to build and enhance our reputation," Snyder said. "Expanding into the full journal format has been a natural move. The extraordinary commitment of the students made for a strong Business Law Brief, but their energy can have a wider outlet and greater impact through a law review."
Joining Snyder and Pike as faculty advisors for the Review are Professors Kenneth Anderson, Anna Gelpern, and Heather Hughes and Associate Deans Christine Farley and Billie Jo Kaufman.
Forging Ahead in a Year of Transition
The proposal for the Business Law Review was unanimously approved by the faculty in spring 2010, and from that point on it was up to the current board of the Brief to implement the new journal while also continuing to produce quality editions of the Brief.
Third year student Alexis Early became Editor-in-Chief of the Business Law Brief last spring. In summer 2010, while Early was still a summer associate at Patton Boggs, she and the members of the Business Law Brief board began work on the transition. Soon they were laying the foundation for the new journal by putting together quality standards for the publication, training staff, and preparing for the first issues, scheduled for a fall 2011 release.
"We want to become a go-to resource for business law academics while retaining the Brief's current readers who are largely practitioners," Early said.
In addition, the new Review will have a corresponding website that will "provide additional visibility for the authors online and allow them to connect with their readers," Early added.
On April 8, the Business Law Review will hold its inaugural symposium. "The symposium will examine the intersection of Business and the Law at a time when post-crisis financial oversight is moving from Wall Street to Washington," Early said. Articles for the first edition of the Business Law Review will be based on submissions for this symposium.
"With the constellation of contributors for this inaugural symposium, those in the know will see that AU is taking a leadership role in the business law field," said Snyder.
Current and past members of the Brief/Review Editorial Board will celebrate the new Review at a kick-off event hosted by Dean Claudio Grossman and the Office of Development and Alumni Relations Jan. 20. For more information on the Brief, including the list of current Board members and access to past issues, visit wcl.american.edu/blb.

Coming out via Entertainment Weekly magazine, the still sees the newlyweds lying on bed with the vampire hunk on top of the mortal beauty.
After a still shared by director Bill Condon that teases "The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn Part I" honeymoon scene, a wider look at Bella and Edward's wedding night has been shared in a new picture coming out via Entertainment Weekly magazine. The scan of the photo has now surfaced online and it shows Edward and Bella as husband and wife lying on a bed.
"It's one of the most anticipated scenes," Condon gushes in an interview with the publication about the said part. "I spent a tremendous amount of time thinking about it. The anticipation is part of it and you want to play with what people expect and maybe subvert it a little and surprise them."
Scriptwriter Melissa Rosenberg, meanwhile, says that "Breaking Dawn is really about growing up." She adds, "Breaking dawn is a very adult novel, and the movie will be as well. The characters have grown up, and they're dealing with very mature issues. The passion of it is what's important."
But don't expect to see adult scenes because producer Wyck Godfrey has previously affirmed that they will maintain PG-13 rating for the next "Twilight" movie. "It does not become soft porn. It is a legitimate and important part of the movie, romantic and sensual," he insisted.
Based on the latest book in Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" saga, "Breaking Dawn" movie will be split into two parts. The first one is set for November 18, 2011 release in the U.S. while "The Twilight Saga's Breaking Dawn Part II" is due November 16, 2012. Bill Condon directs both of them.

SUMMERSIDE — They might tell stories, but they're much more than just storytellers.
"Stories explain something very deep in the heart of human experience," said Jennifer Ferris, the past president of Storytellers of Canada. "Stories explain what is at the heart of our being."
Storytellers from across Canada were on Prince Edward Island last week to share their stories with one another.
The annual event consists of workshops, meetings, and storytelling circles.
Members of the group travelled to the Island on their own dollar.
"It can be an expensive trip for those who live far away," said Ferris. "But we always have an incredible time telling our stories and exploring the landscape, so the trip's are worth it."
Most of the storytellers are visiting P.E.I. for the first time. So far, they love it.
"The Island is so beautiful," added Ferris. "The people are so friendly here, too. One man came up to me and some other storytellers to say 'hi' one day."
The group of storytellers had busy itinerary while on the Island.
"The schedules were packed with events," said Marlene Campbell, cultural program co-ordinator with Culture Summerside. "Each member picked between a trip to North Cape, Cavendish or Charlottetown for Island excursions with local historians and storytellers."
Members of the group can choose the types of stories they tell — some choose fiction and some non-fiction. Kathy Jessup is sticking to the facts.
She tells a story about her uncle.
"When the Alaska highway was being built he was one of the few white men that helped guide the American army to find the route for the highway," said Jessup.
Her story explains the harsh climates and working conditions that people had to endure when building the Alaskan highway over 70 years ago.
"The story ends with him surviving a grizzly bear attack."
Jessup has been writing for years.
"I write a lot of stories for children and then craft them into stories I can tell to adults."
She spends time working with teachers to educate them on the most effective ways to tell a story to students.
The group officially wrapped up its stay on P.E.I. Sunday, but some will be hanging around a little longer.
Ferris said she'll be extending her stay and will make a vacation out of it.
"The conference gives us the opportunity to travel all across Canada and experience new things. The Island is a great source for stories."

Congrats on your longest run Star.
Tag and I ran the trails before sun up as it's his belly button birthday. I had a feeling it was going to be a long day. He was a bouncing maniac when I got home. When I got out of the truck, he did the "Welcome Home Dance", then bolted into the back yard and brought back his new toy to show me.

A Cumberland County organization remains committed to raising awareness about those living in poverty or facing barriers in their lives.
AMHERST – While significant gains were made in raising awareness about poverty, members of Empowering Beyond Barriers know their work is far from over.
"Empowering Beyond Barriers has an ultimate goal of eradicating poverty, but since we seem to have difficulty meeting that goal we spend a lot of energy creating awareness around poverty in our community, reducing stigma that accompanies poverty, advocating and trying to make life a little easier for those living with poverty or other barriers," society president Colleen Dowe said during the organization's annual meeting on Friday.
Dowe added the organization also works to empower people to advocate for themselves, use the resources available to them and look for ways to offer a hand up not a hand out.
The past year saw Empowering Beyond Barriers hold its fourth Pumpkins for Poverty event last fall and its third Imagine No Hunger event at First Baptist Church in November.
The largest project, the fifth Coats for Cumberland, was a huge success and continued to grow.
Dowe said homelessness has become a focus of Empowering Beyond Barriers.
"Last year our AGM focused on the reality of homelessness in Cumberland County, and from there housing has become one of our primary focuses," Dowe said. "As we continued having conversations we realized dealing with homelessness was much more than emergency housing. To have an impact on homelessness we had to also consider affordable housing and safe housing."
The group hosted three meetings on the subject including a July meeting with community partners to discuss housing concerns in the county, a meeting in September to discuss landlord-tenant rights and responsibilities and a meeting in February with representatives from the affordable housing association.
While some people may not think there is poverty in Canada, when compared to the Third World, Dowe said the organization must continue to raise awareness of the plight of those living at or below the poverty line.
She said statistics show child poverty rates have barely moved since 2006, while four million people in Canada used a foodbank in 2012 (1.15 million of these were children). Also, the 2013 Report Card on Child and Family Poverty showed 29,000 children living in poverty, while Nova Scotia has the fifth highest poverty rate in Canada.

Palestinian websites knocked offline
Many Palestinian websites run from the region have been knocked offline for weeks, including most government sites.
Since the Israeli withdrawal from certain areas, Palestinians technicians have been working to restore the telecoms network.
For their part, computer security experts say Israeli websites have been the target of hackers, although most government websites have remained readily available.
Equipment destroyed
The disruption to Palestinian websites started at the beginning of April, when Israeli troops hit the Nablus headquarters of the Palestinian telecoms network, PalTel.
Set up in 1996 at a cost of $65m cost, PalTel provided the communication infrastructure for the territories.
"During the time of incursion, most of the servers were affected," said Sabri Saidam, a technology consultant who worked on the Palestinian Authority's web projects.
"The rampage targeted Palestinian institutions, as well as internet service providers and private groups," he told the BBC programme, Go Digital.
In some cases, computer equipment was destroyed, offices badly damaged and electricity supplies cut.
An eyewitness who visited the offices of the Health, Development, Information and Policy Institute in Ramallah described a scene of devastation there.
"All the computers in the office have been thrown into one big pile at the entrance; desks and chairs are broken and scattered on top of each other," wrote Patricia Smith in a report for a Palestinian NGO.
"The computer hard-drives have been taken out and the server is gone, together with all the printers and fax machines."
'Extremely painful'
Rebuilding the computer network is going to take time and money. Many of the fledgling websites of the Palestinian Authority had been funded by international donors.
"There were hopes of building on the peace that existed in the last seven years," said Dr Saidam.
"Sadly, all this seems to have collapsed. All these dreams seem to have been dashed.
"It has been extremely painful to see everything you have worked on being demolished before your own eyes," he said.
For activists, the damage has been done to limit the ability of Palestinians to use the net to spread information about events on the ground.
"These days much of the Palestinian advocacy takes place on the internet. This relies not so much on websites but on e-mail from the ground," said Nigel Parry of the US-based ElectronicIntifada.

Yosemite National Park, California, United States
Yosemite is one of the most well known national parks in the world. With over 3.7 million visitors every year, this California park is an incredibly popular nature destination in the United States. Yosemite National Park is known for its awe-inspiring granite cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and over 800 miles (1,300 km) of hiking trails. Half Dome, a massive granite cliff jutting out of the earth, is one of the famous icons of the park, along with Cathedral Peak and El Capitan. Most of Yosemite's iconic peaks, lakes, and waterfalls are located in the tourist-heavy 7 square mile (18 sq. km) area of Yosemite Valley, but the entire park actually encompasses an area of 1,189 square miles (3,080 sq. km). Yosemite has the honor of being the first national park ever designated, thanks in large part to conservationists like John Muir and Galen Clark. These men and others worked hard to protect the park both for the impressive diversity of plants and animals that lived there, and also for the enjoyment of future generations. Today, the park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is a favorite destination for hikers, rock climbers, campers, and nature lovers of all kinds.
Lake Powell, Utah and Arizona, United States
Lake Powell is a man-made reservoir on the Colorado river. Located in the United States between Utah and Arizona, Lake Powell is surrounded by magnificent Navajo sandstone canyon walls in bright oranges, reds, and whites. These striking colors contrast beautifully with Lake Powell's blue-green waters. Lake Powell is a sprawling, winding lake, and is the second largest man-made lake in the United States. The lake was made when Glen Canyon Dam was constructed in the early 1960s, flooding Glen Canyon. The lake, along with Horseshoe Bend and the notable Rainbow Bridge National Monument rock formation, is now part of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Visitors to the lake can tour its waters via boat rental or guided tour. Tour operators and lodging can be found in the nearby town of Page in Arizona.
Washington DC, United States
Washington DC is the capital of the United States. More formally known as the District of Columbia, this federal district is not part of any one state, though it is bordered by the states of Maryland and Virginia. Washington DC is home to many of the important government buildings of the United States, including the White House and the US Capitol Building. But that's not all this magnificent city is known for. Washington DC is also a hotbed a culture, housing some of the finest art and history museums in the United States. And of course, there are the many impressive monuments, including the Lincoln Memorial, the towering Washington Monument and reflecting pool, the Jefferson Memorial, the National World War II Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the US Marine Corps Memorial, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Other popular stops for visitors include the Library of Congress, and the 19 museums operated by the Smithsonian Institution. The city is also known for its performing arts centers, including the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (home to the National Symphony Orchestra), the Washington National Opera, and the Washington Ballet. Nature-loving tourists flock to the city in the spring when the cherry blossom trees that line the city's streets are in full bloom.
Arches National Park, Utah, USA
Utah is known for its impossible canyons and rock formations. Arches National Park in Eastern Utah is one of the most impressive. Here, natural sandstone arches, formed over millions of years when salt beds covered the area, create an amazing orange brown landscape. The area has a rich history as well as fascinating geology, it was home to the Ute and Paiute tribes. Ute petroglyphs from around 250 years ago can still be seen today. Bryce Canyon, also in Utah, should not be overlooked as a destination if beautiful rock formations captivate you.
Mono Lake, California, USA
In Mono County, California, just Northeast of Yosemite National Park, lies a fascinating 760,000 year old saline lake. Mono Lake has no outlet to the ocean, and has become very salty and alkaline. The most notable feature of Mono Lake is it strange tufa formations, giving the lake an other worldly or moon-like quality. The tufa at Mono Lake are limestone formations that were once underwater but have slowly been exposed as the lake's water evaporated. Tufa deposits are also found at Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia.
Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
In beautiful Wyoming you will find the breathtaking Grand Teton National Park, which features the 46 mile long Grand Teton mountain range. Grand Teton National Park is just 10 miles (16 km) south of Yellowstone National Park, and a visit to one should include a visit to the other. The park is named for Grand Teton mountain, the tallest mountain in the park at 13,775 feet (4,199 m). Grand Teton National Park has a rich history of Paleo-Indian and Native American settlements, dating to over 11,000 years ago. The park also has fascinating geography, with glaciated mountains, lakes, and valleys creating a unsurpassed landscape of beauty.
Chicago, Illinois, USA
The Windy City, Chi-Town, The City That Works, whatever you want to call it, Chicago has a charm and appealing allure to it that other cities aspire to emulate. Home to over 3 million residents, Chicago is the largest city in the state of Illinois in the Midwestern United States. It ranks in the top ten of the world's most powerful Global Finance Centers and it is the third largest city in the USA. Visitors flock to Chicago for its rich cultural offerings: the city is abound with famous jazz clubs, theaters, symphonies, and of course the Chicago cubs baseball team. The architecture of Chicago is also a main attraction. The city was rebuilt in an impressive way after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which decimated the city. Today, Chicago is home to the Willis Tower, and the Trump International Hotel and Tower, both of which appear on the list of the 10 Tallest Buildings in the World. Also notable are the various sculptures about Chicago, including the Cloud Gate, known locally as "the bean", a reflective bean-shaped orb located within "the loop" in Chicago. Chicago is incredibly accessible, and its O'Hare International Airport is the second busiest airport in the world. Because of this accessibility, Chicago is the third largest convention center in the United States.

Reviewed by 2 customers
Basic compass, no illumination, but is designed for daytime use. Enough features to get you where you need to go, but not enough to cofuse a new person starting out. My only annoyance is that it takes the needle a little longer to come to rest, but I can't complain considering this is not an orienteering compass. Lightweight, but not cheap. This compass is designed around a need to float and not being heavy is a pre-requisite to this.

| This is a photograph of Shell Cottage in Himbleton, Worcestershire,
England, a home of members of the Fincher family from mid 1500's through
1800. The photograph was taken in November 1988 by Buel Rodgers -- his wife
Bonnie Fincher Rodgers, a direct descendant of Francis the Quaker, is pictured
in front of the thatched cottage.
The information below was copied verbatim from Fincher in the USA, 1683-1900 by Evelyn Davis Fincher and Ann Wilson Fincher (Greenville, SC: A. Press, Inc., 1981), pages 3-4.
Francis Fincher, a Quaker from Worcester, England, arrived at Philadelphia, Pa., 7 mo., 28th day,1683 aboard the ship Bristol Comfort accompanied by his second wife, Mary (Achelley) Fincher, his small children and servants. He was called a glover. He came from Worcester, England, where along with his Quaker friends, he was severely persecuted for his religious beliefs.
In The Collection of the Suffering of the People Called Quakers, by Besse, are several accounts of Francis Fincher's hardships. Under caption 1662, Besse says: "On the 12th of the month called January, Friends being peaceably met at the House of Robert Smith in Worcester, a marshal with a File of musquetiers (being of those called the Clergy-Band) came, and in an hostile manner forced all the men there met, being eighteen, to go with them. They shewed no Order or Warrant, but guarded them through several streets to their Captain's House, who ordered the Soldiers to carry them to the Marshal's. They were kept about three Days and three Nights, it being the time of a General Sessions there, at which, though they were never called to appear or answer for themselves, an Indictment was found against them, upon the Evidence of but one man, and he an infamous Person, who had been formerly arraigned for Murder, and was afterwards distracted (insane). From the Marshal's they were removed to the Town Gaol and there remained. Their names were ..... Francis Fincher (listed among others)."
After a long account of the trial, this follows: "In like manner, at the same assizes, John Pike . . . . Francis Fincher (and others) were convicted of being at a meeting and sentenced to pay 5 pounds each, or to be sent to the House of Correction for three months."
Besse tells of another attack on the Quakers in 1670 at Grafton-Flyford coming with a warrant and "from Francis Fincher was taken all His Goods for a fine of 20 pounds. They said Francis Fincher was taken on his knees in prayer and having heard that he was fined 20 pounds went to Justice Packington at Bowling Green to expostulate the case with him, whether he thought Prayer to God a Breach of the Law. Packington told him he might pray at home, and that he stood convicted on Oath of the informers. Francis, with Christian Boldness, exhorted him to Justice and Equity, which when Sands, the other Justice, who was also at Bowls, heard he threatened Francis, that if he did not hold his tongue, he would send him where he would be loth to go. A short time after, the officers brought three carts to his House and carried away the best of his goods, took possession of the rest, and sold all, and within a few weeks after he was taken from his family (he having a wife and several small children) and committed him to Worcester Gaol where he lay several months."
Again in 1681 Francis Fincher was sent to Worcester Gaol having been taken praying in the street, being kept out of the meeting place by Constables.
Small wonder that Francis Fincher was glad to come to a land where Quakers were welcome. Records show that he was a First Purchaser from William Penn. In May 1682 he had purchased 1,250 acres in the province of Pennsylvania (Samuel Hazard's Annals of Penna. - 1609-1682 - Philadelphia 1850, appendix p. 639; Pennsylvania Archives, Vol. 1, p. 42.)
"First purchasers" were entitled to both land in the country and "liberty" land in the city of Philadelphia. The location of his city land is given in Welsh Settlements of Pennsylvania, by Charles Browning, 1912, p. 438. In describing the early roads of Pennsylvania, it mentions Fincher's land on the Schuylkell River. "Fincher's land was bounded on the west by a street or road, the one to the ferry, and he also bought land bounded on the south by this road. That is, Fincher had 35 acres on the upper side of Market Street and across the street was the Haverford Friends' Burying Ground."
Francis Fincher only lived one year after coming to America, but during that time he was active in the affairs of Pennsylvania. He was elected a member of the Pennsylvania Assembly from Philadelphia in 1684. At the session of the Assembly held at New Castle, 3rd month, 10, 1684, he was elected Speaker, but declined to serve. The record states "Francis Fincher, a member of the House, being chosen Speaker by major Votes of the House; he in modest manner was pleased to refuse that Choice, with the humble acknowledgement of his own insufficiency for so great an undertaking." (Pennsylvania Archives, Votes and Proceedings of the House of Representatives of Province of Pennsylvania, Vol. 1, p. 46). He died three months later, 6 mo., 1684.
In 1953 Evelyn Fincher [co-author of Fincher in the USA, 1683-1900]
had a short time in England and visited Chaucer House London, where she
saw Dr. Howard Collier's manuscript on the Finchers, and made brief notes.
Dr. Collier, a prominent Quaker physician of Worcester, England,
has worked on the Finchers there. He said that Francis Fincher
was a Worcester skinner and glover who lived in Kingston (Worcester) and
belonged to a well-known Puritan family that resided at Shell and Himbleton.
At the time that Francis was a widower with small children he was
an important man in that part of the County that lies between Pershore
and Droctwich and Worcester. He was born 1626 on property called
"Tomes" in Himbleton. His mother's name was Alice Hart; father
known as Francis the Elder, died in 1649 when Francis, the Quaker, was
23 years old. His first wife was Elizabeth, and that marriage probably
took place prior to 1660.

ABOUT 1350 Victorian students who missed out on a first-round tertiary offer last month secured a place in the second round of university and TAFE offers yesterday.
But there were 123 fewer offers made than at the same time last year. The Victoria Tertiary Admissions Centre made 4412 offers, of which 1355 went to applicants who had not yet received an offer.
About 3060 applicants who received offers in earlier rounds got their higher preferences in the second round.
Second-round offers are not extra places they are made only when the pre-determined number of places are not filled after the first round of offers.
In last month's first round, about 13,000 people missed out on a university place and 22,300 applicants did not get a first-round offer to any tertiary course.

Yeah, I know there's already a thread - sorry - but I thought that this place deserved a bump here. Just took a family party of seven for Saturday lunch - the place was empty (what is everyone thinking?!) other than the owner and his children eating at the bar, but filled up slightly later, and I confirmed that evenings are as hectic as ever*. The food was very good, not quite always excellent but solidly enjoyable and with some highlights (the dark sausage, the white asparagus/ham/pecorino, the foie gras); the service was really very good. And the wine was significantly improved: a new Spanish red by the glass really _is_ outstanding (and also unobtainable, it seems, elsewhere. I think for the 7 of us, all in, it was $140 or so. Excellent value.
[*I talked with the owner** briefly, looking at the cute patio, and he mentioned that he's trying to improve the walkability of downtown Milford by having a restaurant open for lunch, even if not the best economic decision. Good to hear.]
**I assume - certainly seems to be in charge, may also be a cross between maitr d' and chef? Dunno yet :).

I had my first encounter with a really aggro punk out in the lineup today. I was wondering if any of you guys had any similar stories.
Also, just a heads up that if you see a sort of mid-sized dude of about 20 with medium-long black hair on a shortboard with a blue-trimmed deck, a red bottom, and a camera mount surfing at Lincoln or thereabouts, that dude's a prick and you should totally drop in on him and close out his waves if you see him.
I was surfing at Lincoln today. I got up at 6 to get everything packed and catch dead low. Some nice surfable-but-choppy waist and occasional stomach and chest swell. I was on my longboard, like I almost always am, and I found myself at the peak of a wave I wanted to take, paddled, took off, made my bottom turn and settled myself into trim. I don't really know what happened from then, because I didn't even see anybody in front of me. I'm assuming some people had a collision in front of me (which means they probably dropped in on me) and their boards were floundering around. I felt a tug and got pulled out of my wave, so I imagine my skeg must have snagged one of their leashes.
So I get thrown from my board and when I come up I'm stuck in the middle of this one dude on the aforementioned board screaming at this other dude on some sort of funboard, yelling at him for accidentally colliding with him or whatever "you should have seen me! What the ****! I'm going to beat your ass! **** this **** that blah blah blah." So as I untangle my board I ask him calmly as he's screaming at this poor dude "Come on dude, chill. Is this what surfing's supposed to be about?"
So then the dude comes after me. He responds "No. It ain't bro. Why don't you get your kook ass off the beach? You better not let me find you on shore, I'll beat your ass down."
I just paddled away, while he started mocking me for paddling away. I didn't want any violence, and I didn't want to ruin my session arguing with some aggro douchebag. Besides, it's not like I was afraid of anything. If he had tried to attack me he wold have gotten in way over his head.
So, have you guys ever had any encounters with aggro pricks who threatened violence against you in the water? I'd like to know your stories. How did you respond?
Do you think I handled this situation correctly? I'd like to know if I did anything wrong.

Surfers Threatening Violence
Last edited by Sloop John B.; Jul 22, 2011 at 09:49 PM.
Sounds like you did the right thing, the guy sounds like a total Dbag and I hope he backed over his board or something when he got out of the water.
As for the fighting, I have found that the louder they are in the water the bigger the p*ssies they are out of the water.
And props for standing up for the guy getting screamed at. Even if he was a kook and dropped in on that guy, there are ways of going about letting someone know they are in the wrong without screaming like a little kid looking to be breastfed.

you absolutely did the right thing. Guys like him really don't belong in the water because they ruin the vibe more than any "kook" ever could. I would much rather get dropped in on (so what) then have violence threatened towards me for making a mistake (which everyone is capable of). If you're so good at surfing, chances are you're catching waves further back, and at a higher frequency than the "kooks" so what does it matter.
Once back on sand, we're all just people so give it a rest.

As a martial artist and a surfer I do laugh at the spats on the waves. As a guy you realize it is the best to walk or paddle away. Yet it eats at you that you didn't do more. This has happened to me many times over the years where I could have teached someone a lesson. But the repercutions of that could have been drastic. So take it in stride and realize you did the right thing.
I had an encounter with a fisherman at the Jacksonville pier one day. It was a small clean 2ft swell and I was out surfing with a buddy and about 15 others. We were surfing on the main peak about 100 ft off of the pier.
The fisherman started casting his line in to the middle of the line up, almost hitting a little grom, and finally plunking one about 5 feet from the long I was sitting on. Me, my buddy and a couple of other surfers started shouting up at the guy to knock it the f*** off and he got raging mad.
Dude started walking down the pier and on to the beach. He's targeting me and I know this because he's yelling, "hey you bald mf'er on the green board, c'mon back to the beach, I'm gonna kick your a$$." Turns out that I'm the only one in the line up who meets this description.
I am 6-6 265 pounds and a pretty agile fella, especially for my size, and this dude is much smaller than me. I responded by ignoring him, paddling out of his casting range, and surfing for another hour and a half.
I didn't see the guy when I left, but it did put a little damper on the session. In some respects, I wish I would have pounded the guy and taught him a lesson. But in the end, what would I have accomplished by letting my own aggression go unchecked.
I look at that day like this. Me and a couple of the older guys stuck up for the grom, hopefully showed that young brother how to deal with an aggro situation like a civilized man, and I avoided a lot of potential trouble by showing discipline and letting cooler head prevail.
You are not alone in your experience brother. We are only human, but some people tend to forget that.
Keep Aloha alive
I agree with all of the "cooler heads prevail" mentality here. However, I am curious as to what preceeded the collision in the opening post of this thread.
Was that guys rage at all justified.... was he giving the initial victim sh#t just to be aggro or was there anything leading up to him blowing his stack that might have justified the anger?

You apparently were surfing with no idea what was going on in front of you, so while you handled the aftermath very calmly and correctly, as you describe it, you put people at risk by surfing without realizing what is going on around you, and most importantly in your path. In a lineup that is part of your responsibility.

Look, I'm not new to surfing. I'm an aware surfer, and I can (and do) weave in and out of surfers who are in the way on a daily basis. I have every reason not to want to get into a collision. My board's an old longboard shaped by a local shaper in the 60's in a classic cruiser style and it's in great condition (ie. probably worth quite a bit of money to the right person) and I intend to keep it that way. I'm very protective of my board and I surf very defensively. If I could have done something I would have.

I would have a huge issue if someone messed up my epic waist high go pro clip too.
I have gotten screamed at numerous times, usually by angry highschool kids on long boards and old heads that dont make their drop in. The younger kids always wanna fight, i just laugh in their face. The old heads usually realize their blame everyone else for their lack of skill. However, I have also been screamed at for things that are legit my fault, but its part of the fun, use it to your advantage and paddle around them and make them drop in on you. Not one of you is perfect and we have all been at fault more than once, just let it ride, kid will get his when he go pros himself getting the **** kicked out of him by some 16 year old.
If your taking it personal you are missing the fact that its surfing and when there is 3000 people out, many of them wont get the waves they want and the ones that only get to surf 4 times a year will get real pissed, the others will laugh about it knowing that come winter, its all ours.
