Justin Bonomo collected almost half a million dollars and his first WSOP bracelet that certainly helps him forget that 2nd place finish in the Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Championship event a few days ago.
Bonomo begin heads-up play with second place finisher, Mike Sowers, looking at a 4-1 chip disadvantage, but after one level of play Bonomo had pulled even with Sowers. Using the momentum swing to his advantage, Justin Bonomo never looked back and within the hour he had all the chips and his first World Series of Poker bracelet.
The $1,500 buy-in event attracted 1,587 players and offered a prize pool of $2,142,450. Justin Bonomo returns home to Glendale, Colorado with $449,980 for his winning finish. Mike Sowers of Charlotte, North Carolina takes away $278,518 as first runner-up.
The following lists the final table six players order of finish and money won.
Justin Bonomo ------ $449,980
Mike Sowers -------- $278,518
Daniel Strelitz ------ $180,587
Lance Harris -------- $119,977
Niel Mittelman ----- $80,341
Taylor Paur ---------- $55,703
Congratulations to Justin Bonomo for his win and his first WSOP bracelet.

Tim Tebow had planned to speak at the First Baptist Church of Dallas, and this scheduled speaking appearance would have brough about some heated debate and controversy. After apparently re-thinking the implications of making that appearance, the New York Jets quarterback will not open himself up to a potential public relations disaster. While it may be a "smart" move in terms of his public image and endearing himself to any NFL team still interested in him, it's also a sad commentary on the state of public figures, free speech and guilt by association. Tim Tebow was set to speak to the congregation on April 28.
Just about any reasonable person will tell you there's not a whole lot to dislike about New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow. Plenty of people grew tired of Tebowmania, and many more think he has no business being a quarterback in the NFL, but most people are able to recognize that he is a good person who has made an effort to help others. That comes in large part from his faith and he has been making speaking appearances, big and small, well before he was receiving an NFL paycheck.
That's what makes the controversy that surrounded his scheduled appearance at the First Baptist Church of Dallas leave a bad taste. Senior pastor Robert Jeffress made past comments that led to the church being labeled as "anti-Semitic" and "anti-gay." But does anyone really think Tim Tebow was going to jump up to that podium and start railing against those two groups?
You can bet that Tebow identified the First Baptist Church of Dallas as a congregation with a huge following, presenting an opportunity to share his beliefs with a large number of people willing to listen. It's a classic case of guilt by association, an attitude that speaking somewhere means that you support everything anyone associated with that place has ever done or said.
The kicker here is that while some have poked fun at Tim Tebow for thanking God in his interviews, he's nowhere near overbearing in terms of pushing his faith on others near the football field. Other NFL players have taken that to an extreme in the past. Knowing how important faith is to Tim Tebow, it's clearly been a conscious effort on his part not to alienate his teammates or create an uncomfortable presence in the locker room. But when he accepts an opportunity to speak to a large group of people that want to hear him speak, those charged with covering his football career stick their noses in and piece together the appearance with past comments from the senior pastor and create a negative air around the appearance.
Is it possible that Tim Tebow was nudged by someone associated with the NFL to cancel the appearance? Or did someone else close to him suggest he cancel? We'll likely never know. Here's Tim Tebow's own words, shared on his Twitter account:

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/4/2011 (2316 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The number of Manitobans displaced by this year's flood is on the rise, as are flood waters at a critical spot in western Manitoba.
As of Wednesday, another 103 Manitobans had been evacuated from their communities, mainly as a precaution due to a loss of road access, bringing the total to 866.
About 60 Red River Valley residents were among the latest evacuees, along with another 12 in the RM of Cornwallis in the Brandon area.
The province reported Wednesday it had completed a two-day evacuation of the St. Adolphe Personal Care Home due to concerns about road access. The home's 42 residents were moved to Grunthal.
The Red River is expected to crest at Emerson April 24-27, but the province is turning much of its attention to western Manitoba, where the fight is right now.
Emergency Measures Minister Steve Ashton said the community of St. Lazare, near the Saskatchewan border, is bracing for a crest within 48 hours. There, the Qu'Appelle River is expected to reach record levels.
The community has been busy adding additional protection to the community ring dike and sandbagging homes outside the dike.
Ricky Fouillard, chief administrator for the Rural Municipality of Ellice and the Village of St. Lazare, said eight homes are at risk of flooding, but they've been sandbagged and should be safe.
"Everybody is diked and we're kind of just waiting for the water to come up and go back down again," he said.
St. Lazare sits in a valley where the Qu'Appelle meets the Assiniboine River. The town's next test will be the Assiniboine, which hasn't crested in western Manitoba yet. The same eight homes will remain on alert.
In the legislature Wednesday, MLA Len Derkach (Russell) said residents are worried about the Qu'Appelle and Assiniboine peaking at the same time. The two streams meet near the town.
He asked Ashton if there were plans to raise protective dikes on short notice if the fortifications are overwhelmed.
Ashton assured him that a one-kilometre earthen section of the community dike had been raised. He said even with the high crest expected in the next day or so, the dikes should have four feet of breathing room.
Another area of concern in western Manitoba is Melita, which saw the Souris River crest Tuesday. No further crest is expected there unless there are heavy rains, but water levels are expected to remain high for several days.
"The construction of secondary dikes in Melita is progressing well to address sustained high river levels," said Chuck Sanderson, executive director of the Manitoba Emergency Measures Organization. "Precautionary sandbagging is also being done around the community's sewage lift station."
Premier Greg Selinger will tour the area by helicopter today, landing at Melita and Souris early in the morning before visiting Brandon.
So far, 32 communities have declared states of local emergency in Manitoba. That compares with 16 during the entire 2009 flood.
There are still 77 provincial roads affected by flood waters, with 55 closed or accessible to local traffic only. About 530 municipal roads are closed.
The Red is expected to crest in Winnipeg May 2-5. The Assiniboine could crest as early as today in Brandon and around April 27-30 at Headingley.
-- with files from Mary Agnes Welch
Flood warnings are in effect for the Souris River from the U.S. border and downstream, and for the Qu'Appelle River near St. Lazare.
Forty-two personal-care home residents were evacuated from St. Adolphe in the past two days.
The number of people evacuated as a precaution due to flooding rose to 866 Wednesday from 763 on Tuesday.
Thirty-two communities have declared states of emergency, double the number during the entire 2009 flood.
The Red River is expected to crest at Emerson as early as Sunday.
The rail line along the dikes at Emerson and Morris were to be closed Wednesday to protect those communities.
The City of Winnipeg is setting up cage-barrier dikes near Highway 75 to protect Turnbull Drive.
The Shellmouth Reservoir is being used to ease flood pressure along the Assiniboine River in western Manitoba. Since Tuesday, inflow to the reservoir has increased 75 per cent to 16,700 cubic feet per second.
Water levels at James Avenue in Winnipeg fell more than half a foot Wednesday to 18.3 feet. The forecast Red River crest level at James Avenue ranges from 20.1 to 22.8 feet.

based on this the game will launch earliest mid april latest beginning of July (so Summer lol)
also according to bet detail ll the beta will be doing is "re balancing" stuff which means whatever no MAJOR changes in the beta (like graphical overhauls, content or lack thereof etc etc) all.. just stuff like exp to level, gathering crafting balance etc etc which means any HUGE problems that require mor ethan just "rebalancing" that exist in the beta will still exist at launch... since something like for example:
getting rid of monster recoil or changing a crappy battle system or bad animations.. is OUT of the realm of "re balancing" in my eyes so if those things arent fixed in the beta then they wont be fixed at all.
- Stress testing will be conducted on the housing system.
- Testing will be conducted on the PvP Coliseum
Oh i didnt know pvp and housing would be available at lanuch.. i hope they have quests specifically for pvp too (like to get pvp gear etc etc so i can do thing related to (pvp even if it isnt specfiically fighting another player) outside of the colluseum.
After all most games with pvp have things that get you READY for pvp outside of the actual pvp itself

HOUSTON - As people get ready for spring break, state and federal agencies have renewed a warning: do not go to Mexico.
Violence along the border has been an issue for quite some time, but a video shows just how brutal things can get.
Lights from a fluorescent bulb washes over the naked body of a young boy. In a video obtained by Local 2 Investigates, the boy is seen blindfolded and begging his parents to pay the ransom his kidnappers are demanding. The video also shows a man from the waist down repeatedly hitting the boy with a leather belt while stomping and kicking him. The unseen man taunts the boy by asking if he's comfortable or in pain.
Investigators in the United States know the video began circulating in Mexico in August of last year, but tell Local 2 they have not been able to identify the boy in the video or what happened to him. Investigators only know he is from Monterrey, Mexico.
Local 2 Investigates showed the video to independent law enforcement sources who believe it to be authentic and hope it will impress upon families the potential dangers they face when traveling to Mexico.
The Texas Department of Public Safety reports 65 Americans were killed in Mexico last year, but the daily violence south of our border has prompted strict warnings about traveling to that country.
"The industry of kidnapping, specifically in Mexico, is getting more and more violent," said Charlie LeBlanc, president of Houston-based Medex Global Solutions.
Medex Global Solutions specializes in kidnap and ransom negotiations, medical insurance for travelers and security for people visiting or working in a foreign country.
"The concerns that are there need to be all of our concerns since it is a country so close to ours," said LeBlanc. "The violence is too high right now."
The Texas Department of Public Safety has even taken the rare step of warning students and parents not to go to Mexico for Spring Break. The DPS's warning singles out popular spots along the Texas border, like Falcon Lake, where David Hartley was murdered last year. This year, missionary Nancy Davis was murdered 70 miles from the Texas border near the town of Pharr. Last month, Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Jaime Zapata was killed by cartel members, and two El Paso teens were killed in Juarez. Cartel violence is also steadily growing in Matamoros, just across the border from South Padre.
"In going to the border towns, I would not go," said LeBlanc.
LeBlanc also said there are growing concerns in traditional spring break spots like Cancun, Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta.
"Those locations are also becoming troubling," said LeBlanc. "You're starting to see more cartel activity than we've ever seen in the past."
LeBlanc said the concern is not that cartel members are targeting Americans, but that firefights between rival cartels break out frequently and innocent bystanders become collateral damage.
These concerns also prompted three major cruise lines to recently cancel stops in the seaside city of Mazatlan.
LeBlanc warns if people do travel to any of these spots in Mexico to not leave the well worn, crowded tourist zones. LeBlanc urges travelers in Mexico not to take long road trips outside of these tourist areas to visit outlying towns or other attractions, like ancient ruins.
"Cartel members are setting up checkpoints, they're shaking people down for money at best," said LeBlanc. "At worst, they're kidnapping folks and murdering folks."
LeBlanc also said Mexico's burgeoning kidnapping trade no longer exclusively targets the wealthy; those with the appearance of wealth can also be in danger. In other words, be inconspicuous, leave the jewelry and fine clothes at home.
Before you leave your home, register with the U.S. State Department as to where you are visiting. Also, get a map of the area you're visiting to find out where hospitals and American embassies or consulates are located.
LeBlanc also urged travelers to buy a cell phone that works internationally and then learn how to dial a number from a foreign country.
Lastly, consider buying medical insurance for travelers. If you get hurt, many places do not take American health insurance and won't treat you unless you pay up front.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Neel Kashkari, the man who oversaw the government bailout program at the height of the crisis, is running for public office in California. Kashkari said late Wednesday he is stepping down as managing director and head of global equities at PIMCO to pursue his "passion for public service." The Republican executive described himself as an "experienced, pragmatic, effective leader" who has worked with both Democrats and Republicans to tackle serious economic challenges. Kashkari, a former Goldman Sachs ( GS) employee, first joined public service in 2006, working as a senior advisor to former boss and then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. He shot to fame in 2008, when he was appointed assistant secretary of the Treasury, where he spearheaded the government's bailout program. Kashkari, then 35, was nicknamed the $700 billion man for his role in rescuing big banks from financial armageddon. Kashkari left the Treasury in 2009 to join PIMCO. In an interview with The Wall Streert Journal, Kashkari said the government's TARP program, while "very unpopular" was "the best example we have in modern history of Democrats and Republicans coming together to do something controversial but absolutely necessary and absolutely successful." Kashkari might face an uphill battle in democratic California, but told the Journal that he was "no ordinary Californian Republican," emphasizing his middle-class upbringing as the son of Indian immigrants. Kashkari has launched a website in which he talks about the need to address California's problems. "I share Californians' optimism that with the right leadership, we can help every child get a good education, we can create a vibrant economy so every Californian has a good job and we can do this while living within our means," he said. "Unfortunately today California 8th graders rank 49th in student achievement while a devastating 21% of Californians are either out of work or underemployed. And Sacramento's budget ignores literally hundreds of billions of dollars of liabilities." "After decades of benign neglect, I believe it is our duty to finally have an honest discussion about these issues and take bold action to help all Californians succeed," he said. -- Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj in New York.

Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival
Hundreds of thousands of music fans flock to downtown Rochester, New York, each year to see marquee musicians like Diana Krall, Michael McDonald, and Earth, Wind and Fire perform at the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival. Founded in 2002, it has quickly become one of the nation's most popular and most respected music festivals.
In our seventh year as title sponsor, we work behind the scenes to help the festival organizers keep the festival running smoothly and engineer a unique, personalized experience for all attendees. Read more on our blog.
|Deterring Fraud through Specialty Imaging
Some festivalgoers purchase tickets to individual shows, but many opt for the all-access Club Pass. The popular Club Pass grants admission to all 13 club venues over the 9-day festival, allowing attendees to sample a wide spectrum of music. Like the festival's motto says, "It's not who you know, it's who you don't know."
To prevent counterfeiting, tickets, Club Passes and Xerox hospitality access wristbands are printed with fraud-resistant specialty imaging effects such as FlourescentMark and MicroText. These text effects can only be printed with a Xerox FreeFlow digital front end combined with Xerox FreeFlow software.
With security-encrypted passes, festival organizers know that only paid attendees will get to know new music, while counterfeiters won't get in at all. Just one more way we're improving the business behind the scenes at the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival.

Of the books by Harun Yahya which I have read "For Men of Understanding", "Allah is Known Through Reason" and "The Truth of the Life of this World" stand out as powerful treaties on the proofs of God in the Universe. Harun Yahya"s scholarship proves fascinating and his style of writing infinitely readable. His books have a great impact because of the clarity and logic with which they make their appeal.
Quoting the verses of Quran and sources as diverse as Bertrand Russell and Lenin, Harun Yahya takes us on a remarkable trip through the signs in the heavens and on the earth. The author"s approach to Quranic wisdom is scientific. One of the remarkable aspects of his writings is his copious illustration of Quranic teachings with examples which are scientifically verifiable facts of nature.
It is one of the ironies of life that man may observe nature right from his birth, but he seldom experiences a sense of awe in contemplating it. Though even the tiniest example in nature is enough to testify to the greatness of God, people often remain unaware of this. Harun Yahya"s books, such as "The Miracle of Ant", "The Miracle of the Spider", etc. perform a great service both to the unenlightened and to the cause of religion by bringing out this reality in an excellent, easily comprehensible and convincing manner.
The author deftly presents facts upon fact, until we reach the conclusion that one of the greatest and most essential of human objectives is to recognize and interpret the numerous signs of Allah scattered not only throughout the entire universe, but also within our own selves.
He writes about this subject in such a compelling way-the text also enlivened with beautiful pictures-that the whole idea comes alive, leaving a lasting impression on the reader"s mind. The reader, induced to think deeply about the hidden truths of nature, ultimately experiences an increase in his or her faith.
We pray that God may reward him for all the good works that he is doing and give him good health and a long life. And, God willing, may his pen never run dry.

"We can't do much about it. We just have to sit and wait for it to happen." That expression of frustration about the Farm Bill was offered Wednesday by a farmer attending a Cornbelt conference about Farmland Markets. While many farm organization lobbyists hope they have some impact on the outcome, the typical farmer thinks whatever will happen is going to happen and there is not much that can be done to change. Currently, the power brokers wear red and blue, come from the House and Senate, and have been waiting for a meeting of the Conference Committee to be convened. The path is uncertain, and no one really knows how and when it will come to an end.
The Farm Bill has been in negotiation for the past three years. While it has reached the conference committee stage, there is no guarantee when an agreement will be reached and whether that agreement will be approved by both houses of Congress.
A look inside the effort is offered by Ohio State University ag economist Carl Zulauf and University of Illinois policy specialist Jonathan Coppess, until recently, the chief Senate ag committee staff member. They report that Senate Ag Committee Chair Debbie Stabenow and House Ag Committee Chair Frank Lucas lead strong majorities and have significant support for their policy positions. And they add, "Without a comprehensive agreement and significant compromise across key differences, or unexpected shifts in votes and positions of at least two conferees in either delegation, the conference committee could easily deadlock, producing no final bill."
Zulauf and Coppess map out three potential outcomes that include most of the possibilities:
(1) The conference committee reaches an agreement that is enacted into law.
(2) The conference committee does not reach agreement and the current 2008 farm bill is extended for another year. A two-year extension could occur if Congress wants to avoid a farm bill debate in a Congressional election year. To help meet federal deficit reduction goals, an extension will likely include a reduction in direct payments at least equal to and probably larger than the current 8.5 percent cut under sequestration.
(3) The Conference Committee does not reach agreement and permanent law is repealed, ending farm commodity support programs. The farm safety net becomes the insurance program, meaning multiple-year losses would not be covered by the farm safety net.
Zulauf and Coppess say options 1 and 2 could both happen, but they have about the same chance of happening. Option three would not be good, but has a slim chance of passage. Options 2 and 3 would not typically be scenarios resulting in a Farm Bill but most of the politics surrounding the Farm Bill is keyed upon cutting spending. And they say if the conference committee meeting on the budget is quickly able to allocate funding for agriculture that may dictate when it included and not included in the Farm Bill. Zulauf and Coppess say another possibility would be elimination of the crop safety net programs. They report that while the popular belief is the disagreement over food stamps (SNAP), but they are quick to say the agreement over the Farm Safety net may be a major point of contention. They think there is a distinct possibility of the Budget committee striking first and telling the agriculture committee conference how much money they could spend.
The Farm Bill conference committee has had one meeting with little accomplished. They are facing only 16 more legislative days before the end of the year, and a repeat of the dairy cliff that will require farmers be paid parity prices for their milk. While there are some possibilities for an outcome, they are not representative of typical Farm Bill deliberations.

Overall Goals - Skills Our Students Should Acquire
First, general non-programming skills:
- Be able to use a computer to find out things the teacher didn't tell you (in general, develop the understanding that you can find anything you need to know about computers and software from the help button or from Google).
- Be able to download and install programs (e.g., WinZip, JDK's, etc)
- Be able to zip and unzip files.
- Be able to find and use your home directory on Windows, Linux, or whatever.
IDE skills:
- Be able to create a project/application/whatever on the IDE that we choose.
- Be able to add the programming pieces of a zipped assignment to the IDE.
- Be able to add new classes or packages to the IDE.
- Be able to design JFrames for input and output in the IDE.
- Be able to deal with System.in/System.out in the IDE.
Java skills:
- Be able to compile and execute programs from the command line.
- Be able to write programs using JFrames for input and output (with the null layout, since that doesn't require learning anything about layouts). I don't mind if they use the IDE to create the frames, I'd just like them to be able to get their input and output taken care of without too much fuss. An alternative would be to know how to get parameters from the command line, but that's so ugly.
- Be able to write programs using System.in and System.out for input and output (for programs requiring file I/O - it's ok if they can deal with just one input file and just one output file).
- Be able to use the Java API documentation to use core classes.
- Be able to debug a program using breakpoints and examine the execution stack frames.
Java programming: In addition to the syllabus
- Exceptions and exception-handling.
- Java coding conventions.
- Specific Java classes: package java.lang: All the data type wrappers, Object, Math, String, StringBuffer, System package java.io: BufferedReader, FileReader, InputStreamReader (I think we can get away with just that). package javax.swing: JFrame, JLabel, JButton, JTextField. package java.util: Arrays, Vector (most of the rest should be introduced in data structures).
- I would make threads optional - I'd be willing to live without them, but it would be great if the students knew about them.

Woman, 19, fell from 3rd-floor balcony during party, police say
Published: Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 8:11 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 8:11 p.m.
A 19-year-old woman fell from a third-floor balcony at a Gainesville apartment house on Saturday night but received only minor injuries, according to a police report.
The woman, whose name was not given in the Gainesville Police Department report, was drinking margaritas at the Courtyards Apartments, 1221 SW Second Ave., when the accident occurred.
The woman was attending a party at the apartment of 23-year-old Jared A. Miller, police said. She apparently fell from the narrow balcony, which has a chest-high cement wall instead of a railing.
She was taken to Shands at the University of Florida as a precaution, according to the report.
The woman was not the only under-aged guest at the party, police said. Miller was issued a notice to appear in court for allowing minors to consume alcohol in his home.
Attempts to reach Miller were unsuccessful on Sunday evening.

Brad Henson just got back from an unofficial visit to Penn State and while the Toms River (N.J.) Monsignor Donovan lineman doesn't have any other trips scheduled he's planning to be on the road a lot for the rest of this fall.
Henson's visit schedule is so hectic but the 6-foot-5, 275-pound offensive guard in the 2013 class wants to see all the schools showing interest in him so he can get a better feel for where his recruitment is headed.
"I don't have anything planned right now," Henson said. "It's something we're doing last minute because I don't know how things are going to fall with my football schedule but I know I'm definitely going down to Tennessee, Rutgers, Boston College, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, Central Florida and Florida.
"We're trying to go to all of them. I've been invited to all of them so I'm going to try to get to all of them. I want to go see everywhere so I know where I'd fit in best and what I like best. I want to get started on it early."
Boston College is one of many schools on that list - and there might be some issue that the Eagles will get lost in the mix - but that doesn't seem like the case. Henson has a lot of interest in Boston College mainly because of his relationship with offensive line coach Sean Devine.
Henson did one-day camps at Boston College and Rutgers this summer and his workout with Devine has definitely stuck in his head.
"They're recruiting me pretty hard," Henson said of the Eagles.
"I like BC a lot so it's going very well. The coaching staff is just great. I get along great with the o-line coach and it's a great school academically."
Many schools are in contention for Henson, who lists early offers from Boston College, Rutgers and Central Florida and after his weekend visit to Penn State the Nittany Lions might not be far behind.
"The thing was there were a lot of kids there and they didn't really have a lot of time to talk to anyone but they sat down with me and my parents and they made it very clear they want me there for the next few years," Henson said.

HOUSE building in Worcestershire is vastly outstripping other parts of the UK - with the county targeted on a dramatic scale.
In one area the amount of new development is more than TRIPLE the national average - with an MP claiming residents are being "betrayed".
During the whole of 2013 the average constituency saw work start on 185 new homes.
But in Worcester the tally was 254 and your Worcester News can reveal how a staggering 626 were built in Mid-Worcestershire.
Wyre Forest also surpassed the national average, taking 259, with only West Worcestershire coming in below it at 122.
In recent months Malvern Hills District Council has approved more than 1,000 planning applications, suggesting 2014 will see a rise.
The data has been criticised by Mid-Worcestershire MP Sir Peter Luff, who says the public are "angry" about developers building on unpopular sites.
All three district councils in Malvern, Wychavon and Worcester are still embroiled in work to try and agree a new-look South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP).
Mr Luff said Worcestershire is being "punished" for not agreeing the plan yet and wants the Government to intervene by saying councils can refuse speculative planning applications in unwanted areas.
"These figures show that our area is more than pulling its weight when it comes to dealing with the housing crisis in the UK," he said.
"Wychavon District Council want to do the right thing and build the new homes that we need, but still the planning inspectorate make it clear they expect even more."
Councillor Paul Middlebrough, the leader of Wychavon District Council, said Worcestershire was being targeted because of its beauty.
"If you look at all the national surveys both Wychavon and Malvern often come in the top 10 best places to live," he said.
"It's a fantastic environment and location, we're right by three motorway junctions so if people can afford to relocate here they often do.
"That's why the house builders look here. We have all been frustrated by the South Worcestershire Development Plan."
David Harrison, a district councillor in Kempsey, near Worcester said: "The parish council said it would accept a housing increase of 10 per cent to the south of the village, which is 135 homes, but lots of people are getting increasingly concerned as to where it will finish.
"Between October and March alone, the district council approved planning permission for 1,057 homes."
The SWDP was examined by a Government inspector last year, who increased the number of homes in it by 5,000, to 28,370 properties.
All three councils are trying to finalise areas where the extra homes can go before it can be signed off, and that is not expected until 2015.
WORCESTER MP Robin Walker believes the data is good news for the city - saying it will help solve the affordable housing problems.
Mr Walker also said unlike some rural neighbours Worcester haS a good share of brownfield sites prime for development.
Developers started work on 254 homes in 2013, above the national average of 185.
Worcester has a waiting list of 2,300 people for affordable homes.
Mr Walker said: "I understand the concerns people like Peter (Luff) might have but in Worcester's case I am glad we are above the national average.
"It's where I'd expect and hope us to be because we do have a lot of brownfield sites.
"I had a look at the new development off Newtown Road recently - 40 per cent of that site will be affordable housing.
"We need to build more on our brownfield sites while protecting the green spaces."
It follows concern only last week that Worcester has the third worst rush-hour congestion rate in the UK.
In August last year the city council decided to dramatically purge its waiting list by 47 per cent.
After writing to 4,500 homes to ask people to confirm if they wanted to remain on the list, it shrank to 2,393 after getting no response from the rest.
The data on new property building has been obtained by the National House Building Council, which is pushing for more development.
Richard Tamayo, from the body, said "builders are striving to meet the growing demand for more new homes that the UK clearly needs".
Last year Government changes to planning rules introduced a "presumption of sustainable development" to force through more building.
Back in March, in response to concern planning minister Nick Boles issued fresh guidance to councils based around protecting the greenbelt and not building on flood-prone sites.

More employees and members of the public will be protected from the effects of environmental tobacco smoke under new laws.
Quit Victoria's Executive Director Todd Harper says the news that smoking will be banned in shopping centres is a further step towards smokefree public places.
""There's overwhelming public support in Victoria for smokefree shopping, and I welcome the Government's approach.""
""Research released in February shows 81% of Victorians want a total ban on smoking in shopping centres.""
""It's clear that Victorians want to shop in a smokefree environment, and I'd encourage any shopping centre that is not already smokefree to take heed of that support and implement smoking restrictions immediately.""
""The bans on smoking in shopping centres are an important step towards further restrictions, which we would hope will include all workplaces in the future.""
Mr Harper says new measures banning the sale of single cigarette, mobile cigarette retailing or 'cigarette girls', and the use of free gifts with cigarettes, are an important move to reduce tobacco marketing aimed at young people.
""The tobacco industry has continued to look for ways to exploit loopholes in legislation, and we welcome the Government's action to outlaw these disgraceful marketing practices in Victoria.""

Today was the second day of the main Search Engine Strategies conference in London. One of the very last sessions of the day was with Google and contained some key SEO insights.
Author authority signals
Some SEOs, including this blogger, suggest there is a category of quality signals that could be called "author authority". This is based on very heavy suggestions from Google via Matt Cutts but is not accepted by all SEOs. What is certain is that Google has a new(ish) markup that lets qualified authors connect their content with their Google+ profile and have this connection displayed in the search results.
Google did not confirm (or re-confirm) today that there was a quality signal collection for authors or that there was a connection between ranking signals and author markup. This is in-line with Google's typical communication/no comment on the details of their algorithms even though they have previously blogged that trust and expert authors are factors that the Panda examines.
However, Google encouraged publishers to make use of the author markup. The exact word used was: behooves. If you are a publisher then it behooves you to use the author markup.
Going beyond Google+In response to a challenge from the audience, Google admitted that they are looking to expand the profile connected with the author from Google+ to include other social profiles.
Such a move would likely be covered extensively by press and would help ease anti-competitive concerns. It is one to watch carefully.
Google will add crawling support for pushState
Disclosure: Google's initial commends on this were in response to my question, although the presentation later revealed a prepared slide which confirmed the original statement.
Google currently supports an initiative called the AJAX crawling scheme. This encourages site owners to run a headless browser and map user friendly URLs to exposed rich content within AJAX sections of sites. HTML 5 offers web designers an alternative to some of the more widely used AJAX techniques today.
Google confirmed that they will continue to support the AJAX crawling scheme.
In addition, Google will add pushState support to their crawling. This is to ensure compatibility with some HTML 5 techniques.
Googler Ian Hickson is liaising closely with HTML 5 development and Google's crawling team.
Expect Google to blog on this topic in the (relatively) near future.
Social Signals matter and updated SEO guidelines
Google had already confirmed that social signals impact SEO although there was some debate about this again at this week's conference.
In Wednesday's session, Google revealed a set of bullet points that represent SEO tips for 2012. The green text is used to highlight especially important tips or new additions. This photograph clearly shows that follows, +1s and 'votes' matter. What counts as a vote was not discussed.
In addition and as an expansion to having relevant content was the suggestion that social media news sites and devices are a consideration too.
Google is addicted to speed
The session made explicit mention of the problem the search engine faces when slow websites are returned high in the results. Google admitted that they considered marking slow sites with a red dot, average loading sites with a yellow dot and swiftly loading sites with a green dot in the SERPs so users could see in advance. However, this suggestion was rejected due to a number of concerns – including how webmasters would react to such a public branding.
Wait, wait... was all this revealed in a secret session?
This was not a secret session. Instead, this season was headlined as "Getting to grips with HTML5" and was presented by Google's Maile Ohye. Maile is a name that all SEO agency bods should know.
Running in competition to this HTML 5 was a popular debate as to whether SEO was dead (or whether it just needed a new name). It was this session that attracted the most attention.
On one level this is ironic – an echo chamber of SEOs debate whether the traditional concept of SEO has a future while, just a few metres away, through just one door, Google is discussing the HTML 5 future and the SEO implications of that.
It is important that the SEO community do recognise that SEO has changed incredibly over the last few months. We're swiftly moving towards the point where old SEO is redundant and new SEO is not a widely held skill. The additional technical requirements that HTML 5 may bring to SEO are good news for an industry looking for reasons to show its value whilst also being a challenge to individual SEOs hanging on to the past.

In the extremely unlikely event that your name is Snake, then Monday is your lucky day.
Haywain Brewers Fayre in St Margarets Drive, near Epsom Hospital, is running a very generous ssspecial offer to welcome in the Chinese Year of the Snake - a free all-you-can-eat buffet for you and five guests.
But to claim the prize your surname has to be Snake - and strict security is being imposed to prevent imposters slithering their way in.
You have to call the general manager in advance to tell him your name and on arrival you must produce your passport or driver's license.
Martin Rattler, Coral Brown and Bertie Boomslang are definitely not eligible, nor is anyone born in the Year of the Snake the company made clear. Even WWE wrester Jake the Snake Roberts would be turned away.
A search on 192 did not turn up a single person with the surname Snake anywhere in the borough of Epsom and Ewell, or surrounding towns. In fact it appears there are only five people named 'Snake' in the entire country.
And sadly it is too late to change your name by deed poll - in case you were tempted to do so for a few platefuls of free Chinese food.
The PR person who sent out the press release admitted that eligible people are likely to be very thin on the ground.
In fact it seems unlikely the company will have to cook up a single extra prawn cracker.
But Emma Price, a spokeswoman for Brewers Fayre said; "We're big fans of Chinese cuisine at Brewers Fayre and we look forward to celebrating Chinese New Year in style with Mr and Mrs 'Snake.' The snake is a creature to be respected and it will be our pleasure to host all 'Snakes' who join in our celebrations."

|After a day at the beach...
|nothing beats a dinner at Bonito
|Snag a table overlooking the harbor
|A drink before dinner, perhaps?
Bonito has gotten rid of the fish tanks and done over the place in beautiful blue and white nautical style. It has not, however, walked away from its predecessor's seafood bent. Instead it has introduced the island to a menu that in a single appetizer best sums up what St. Barth is all about. The dish is Tiradito Thai au Thon et Crabe, Coco, Mangue et Coriandre fraiche . The translation is roughly this: A Peruvian Tuna sashimi with Thai flavors incorporating Crabmeat, coconut, mango and fresh coriander. It is simply out of this world and the minute I get home I plan to make it. It blows ordinary sashimi out of the water and with its slices of perfect tuna, sweet coconut infused crab, its juicy mango colis, it is absolutely perfect. In one mouthful you have the taste of Peru, Thailand, Asia, with a soupcon of truly French culinary genius. And one other little anecdote which sums up what St. Barth is all about. While paying, Andrew's credit card did not make it back to the table. The next day we discovered it was missing. A call to Bonito elicited a return call. Of course they had the card, not to worry it was secure and they apologized but since we were walk-ins, they were desolee that they had no telephone number to reach us. This is truly just another reason why we hold this place in such adoration. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Just go straight up the hill to Bonito and enjoy every delicious moment.
Is food expensive here? Darn right it is. And why wouldn't it be? Aside from the incredibly fresh and locally caught fish and shellfish, everything is brought in here from 1000 miles away—at a minimum. The French cheese and wine and foie gras come a considerably longer distance. But consider this: A couple of years ago, in a misguided belief that there is anywhere in the Caribbean remotely like St. Barth, we headed to Nevis.
Now Nevis is a beautiful little island. Its people are lovely, delightfully welcoming and overwhelmingly polite. The food on Nevis, however, sucks. There is not one decent supermarket on the entire island. There are several passable restaurants. But there is nothing remotely resembling the delicious variety and quality of what is cooked and sold and eaten on St. Barth. And Nevis is every bit as expensive. You can have perfectly fine $80.00 lunch at the Four Seasons with very little on the menu you wouldn't find at any Four Seasons from Toronto to Buenos Aires.

friends Jeff Walsh and Mark Klingensmith. These two have been here as long as we have. We so look forward to seeing them and catching up with them. The odd thing is, they live in Buck's County PA which is perhaps two hours for New York. We never see them there. We see them every day here, eat with them at least twice a visit. And we'll miss them when they leave the day before us.

One of our St. Barth's friends we've actually never physically met. It's our fantastic realtor Bethany Ludwick who works for WIMCO from whom we always rent our villas. Bethany has steered us to every house we've ever loved here. She's also been adamant about steering us away from anything she personally doesn't like. This year's villa, our hands down favorite ever, was her discovery and she insisted we book it before the paint dried. I honestly wouldn't bother talking to anyone else. Bethany can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Whatever size house you need, whenever you need it, email the incomparable Bethany and she will find it for you. Bravo Bethany!

A friend of the killer of British soldier Lee Rigby has admitted terrorism offences.
Ibrahim Abdullah-Hassan, 28, of Carr Road in Walthamstow, along with Shah Jalal Hussain, 31, of Cannon Street Road, in Whitechapel, previously denied publishing lectures calling for a holy war against the West.
They pleaded guilty yesterday at the Old Bailey to encouraging terrorism and disseminating terrorist material.
The pair posted a link on their website to an extremist speech on YouTube by Al Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki.
Abdullah-Hassan, also known as Abu Nusaybah, was arrested after an interview on the BBC's Newsnight programme, during which he claimed his friend Michael Adebolajo had been offered a job by MI5.
Last month Adebolajo was handed a 45-year minimum term for murdering Lee Rigby in a Woolwich street in May.
The men will be sentenced on May 2.

How can i sell my photos online ?And what's the best place to sell my photos with a good price ?
Shutterstock is the best-known site for selling photos. It's fairly straightfoward to use, and has a good reputation.
But don't expect to make any serious money from it. Unless you're a particularly skilled photographer with a large collection of photos to sell, the chances are you'll only make pennies. That's not just true of Shutterstock, but of all the similar sites.
But don't let that stop you giving it a try.
creat a lbum ana sale it in amazon and u gonna get some good money
Here are few places that mentioned on http://www.sitepoint.com/15-places-to-sell-your-photos/ for selling photos online.
Selling though microstock agencies is a good way of earning passive income online, but you will need to submit a lot of the "right" shots that sell, and be doing it regularly.
^ this, but before this really develops into the steady passive income, you should build a good portfolio on multiple sites (or be exclusive at istock - not recommended). You would need a decent amount of quality and commercial images.
Needless to say, don't expect this to be a smooth, easy ride - be prepared for some pointless rejections
If you are interested in marketing your pictures i suggest that you do a course on the subject this will save you a lot of time in doing your own research as there can be pitfalls if you don't know what you are doing things like protecting your rights to your image etc. etc. this would be a good starting point.

When To Retire Climbing Gear and Ropes
Unless your carabiners, cams or nuts are corroded, and it doesn't sound as if they are, they are as solid as the day you put them in hibernation. The only problem you might have is dealing with the laughter at the crag when you whip out your museum pieces. Gear has evolved a lot in 10 years and your gear will be heavy and clunky compared to what's available today. Imagine a Flintstone's mobile next to a Honda hybrid and you get my drift. But your gear should work perfectly fine.
Your ropes are another matter. Maybe they are OK, but there's no real way to know, short of strapping them into a drop-test tower and breaking them to determine their strength loss over time. Since there isn't a single recorded instance of a rope ever breaking due to just being old, I'd feel comfortable climbing on your cords. The greater consideration is whether they might have been exposed to chemicals such as battery acid, which are real rope killers and common in a garage-storage situation, and/or wear. Cut up and throw away any rope that might have been contaminated, and run both ropes through your hands to feel for soft spots or other irregularities like bite marks from critters. You said that one of the ropes was barely used and neither had held big falls, so I suspect you are good to go with them.
Bear in mind that those 50-meter ropes, while the standard back in the day, will be too short to lower from the anchors on the newer routes established with 60- or even 70-meter lines. I'd relegate them to toproping and fixing, and get lighter and trimmer modern cords, 10mm or just under and at least 60 meters, for leading.

Did you know?
Jameson Park was once a massive pineapple plantation.
Durban's Jameson Park provides colourful evidence in support of the oft-asked question: Do roses really flourish in a humid, sub-tropical climate?
Formerly a fruit plantation, Jameson Park was subsequently transformed into an oasis of stunning roses. Today the small park showcases Durban's roses and boasts around 200 species comprising 600 rose bushes.
The park is situated in the well-established suburb of Morningside which still retains some of its former Victorian architecture.
If you look up from the park, a large home dominates the skyline. This is Elephant House, built in the early 1850s on the highest point on the Berea. It earned its name due to repeated attacks by elephants on their way up a well-worn path (now Florida Road) to drink at the Greyville marsh (today part of the the Royal Durban Golf Course). The house was declared a National Monument in 1978.
Although Jameson Park is open throughout the year, it's at its best when the roses are in bloom between September and November.
Every rose bush is well tended, and neatly manicured soft green lawns separate different displays. Lose yourself in the trails between the rose bushes and abandon your senses to the sight and smell of these special flowers that are an acknowledged symbol of love the world over.
Jameson Park is a wonderful photographic destination for obvious reasons, so don't forget your camera and picnic basket if you're in the mood for an alfresco lunch.
The park is named in honour of Robert Jameson, a councillor, chairman of the sanitary committee and later mayor of Durban from 1895 to 1897.
During his 30-year tenure with the Town Council, Jameson was instrumental in planting trees throughout Durban. More than a century after his death, residents and visitors continue to appreciate the beautiful flora in local parks that bear testimony to his forward thinking.

I love tools that trigger inspiration. Regardless of whether it's software, hardware or a broken heart it doesn't matter. A quick moment of "AH HA!" usually can take you to 90% on your way to a finished song. I've been eying the Axis keyboard from C-Thru Music for some time. It's an Harmonic Table keyboard, midi controller. There is a new 49 key version will cost you a bit less than $500. I can't help thinking Harmonic Tables will be great when touch screens become the norm on laptops.
"C-Thru Music has lent me this keyboard, called the AXIS, for a few months, and I am rearranging the keys for the Bohlen-Pierce Scale, a macrotuning based on a 3/1 frequency ratio, divided by 13 equal steps. See http://www.ziaspace.com/elaine/BP for research on the BP Scale.
This particular AXIS toured with the Lionel Richie Band on loan, went to me, and in two weeks I will be flying to Boston to give this AXIS to the Berklee College of Music, Synthesis Department – namely to Dr. Boulanger who will use it for his classes and for the new microtonal club." – miselaineeous
