Knox County's legal team says it won't offer tax payer dollars to compensate residents who allege that they were wrongfully arrested because of mistakes made by the criminal court clerk's office.
And, attorneys have submitted the paperwork asking the Knox County Circuit Court to throw out one lawsuit, saying the county and its officials are protected from such legal action.
So far, two residents have asked for damages, and local leaders say they expect more legal action soon.
In one case, a Seymour teenager last November filed a demand letter with the county that asked for $50,000 after he was arrested for driving on a revoked license a year earlier that wasn't supposed to be suspended. He has not taken further action.
In another case, Jodi Denise White, who spent 31 hours in jail in January 2013, sued the county last month, alleging false arrest, false imprisonment and an invasion of privacy.
She too, asked for $50,000.
The county's law department, though, isn't budging and has now provided a glimpse into how its attorneys plan to defend what could turn into a series of lawsuits.
In a motion to dismiss filed Jan. 28, Knox County Deputy Law Director David Buuck says the county is immune to White's claims under Tennessee's Government Tort Liability Act and established case law.
Buuck, who declined to comment Friday, noted that court officers "enjoy absolute immunity from suit on claims arising out of the performance of judicial or quasi-judicial functions," so that they are able "to act freely without the threat of a lawsuit."
"The issuance of an arrest warrant is a truly judicial act," Buuck wrote. "Because it is, a court clerk is entitled to absolute immunity from a lawsuit connected with the issuance of a warrant."
Knox County Criminal Court Clerk Joy McCroskey and her office have been under fire for months now after a WBIR Channel 10 investigation detailed problems inside her office that appear tied to poor training, outdated information, and her refusal to cooperate with other county departments.
Her workers often enter the wrong data into the records management system, lose crucial paperwork and provide defendants, prosecutors, and authorities with bad information, a 10News analysis found.
As a result, the errors that have led to wrongful arrests, cases set aside due to errors and resident temporarily losing their right to vote.
COMPLAINT: Jodi White's lawsuit against the county
DEFENSE: County files motion to dismiss
White, who was featured in one of the stories, initially pleaded guilty to driving under the influence in March 2011. A year later she completed the terms of her probation, yet learned that a warrants was still showing as pending in the county's criminal database.
Records show that she talked with officials in the General Sessions Court and was assured that the warrant was dismissed.
Then in January 2013, she was stopped in Lenoir City for speeding. She was released on a $500 cash bond, which officials returned to her the next day when they let her go.
However, her car was towed when she was taken into custody for 31 hours. That cost her more than $150, which she never got back, she previously told WBIR.
Her attorney, William Taylor, did not return a call seeking comment Friday.
A date has not been set to hear her case, but at least one local attorney who specializes in civil rights violations and often represents government entities against lawsuits said the county has a "very well-reasoned" and "good and valid" defense.
"The Governmental Tort Liability Act affirms that all county governmental entities are immune from suit involving injuries that relate of the operation of governmental functions," said Jonathan Taylor with Taylor & Knight. "It allows county governments to operate and continue to perform the kind of functions that are necessary to government work without the fear of suit from citizens."
He added: "There was always this judicial immunity for judges who were integral to the process of justice . . . (but) the exception of judicial immunity has been extended now to deputy clerks, clerks, criminal court clerks."
Taylor said he expects the county's circuit court to eventually dismiss White's complains, adding the "only way around it now" would be to amend the original complaint and allege a civil rights violation under section 1983 of the federal civil rights act – the primary means of enforcing all constitutional rights – and allow Knox County to remove it to federal court.
"All bets are off at that point," he said. "It allows you to get in to different claims – failure to train, failure to supervise.
"All of these are basic civil rights that we have as citizens of the United States and the federal Constitution protects in this instance false arrest and your rights to essentially operate as a citizen of the United States to drive freely on the streets of Tennessee without begin subjected to arrest," he added.
However, Taylor suggested that at this point it would be up to the county to agree to remove the case and it's not something he expects would happen, since the county would lose many of its legal protections.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Florida House overwhelmingly approved a ban on the gambling establishments Friday. It now goes to the Florida Senate, which is considering a similar measure.
A little more than a week after the state's lieutenant governor resigned due to ties with a group at the center of a multi-state racketeering and money laundering investigation, the Florida House on Friday voted 108-7 in favor of the measure (HB 155).
The Senate may vote on a companion bill (SB 1030) next week.
The House approved a similar proposal last year, but the measure never reached the Senate floor.
Gov. Rick Scott said earlier this week he wanted to review the legislation before deciding if he would it into law, and said so again when speaking to the Miami Herald editorial board on Thursday.
Opponents of the proposal argued Thursday there could be unintended consequences in rapidly moving the ban forward.
House members rejected a proposal by Rep. Jim Waldman, D-Coconut Creek, for the bill to go before a tax and finance committee to consider any potential fiscal impacts of closing the businesses - possibly putting 1,300 people out of work.
The bill was backed by the House Gaming Committee, with Waldman the lone opponent, in its only committee review on March 15.
Waldman added that businesses such as Chuck E. Cheese and Dave & Buster's could get entangled in the legislation if the amusements they use are redefined by a local government or court as "games of chance."
"A lot of people are going to be caught in this and I really think we ought to slow this down a bit," Waldman said.
Rep. Elaine Schwartz, D-Hollywood, said the bill appears "overly broad" and could reach Wall Street investors "because that too is a game."
""This could really apply to someone betting on the stock market, betting with others on (whether) stocks go up, down or short," Schwartz said.
Rep. Carlos Trujillo, R-Miami, the sponsor of the House bill, rejected both arguments, saying the bill clarifies the existing law for law enforcement, as the electronic games used by the strip center businesses have always really been illegal under Florida law.
Trujillo compared the cafes and adult arcades to marijuana grow houses.
"A person who gets an occupational license and decides to operate an illegal marijuana grow house just because they're complying with a Department of Agriculture administrative requirement doesn't give you the authority to run an illegal gaming house," Trujillo said.
Trujillo added that the law will not hinder companies such as Chuck E. Cheese and Dave & Buster's, which offer prizes for amusements defined as games of skill.
The bill also redefines the loophole that the cafes and adult arcades have used in declaring their machines "games of skill" rather than games of chance, attempting to make sure that companies such as McDonald's can continue to use giveaway games.
While legislators have been critical of the arcades for several years, the bill has rapidly made its way through both sides of the Legislature in response to a statewide investigation into alleged illegal gaming by a charity, Allied Veterans of the World. The probe has already led to 57 arrests. The investigation also resulted in Jennifer Carroll, who had consulted for Allied while in the Legislature, to resign as lieutenant governor on March 12.

Q & A — October 2004
By Capt. Ken Kreisler
Fresh Air
| Improving ventilation, solving a battery problem, and more.
I'm a weekend boater and experience a fair amount of "stuffiness" when opening up the boat. Do you have any suggestions for improving the circulation while I'm away? E.B., via e-mail
To prevent this condition, you need to provide for a constant flow of fresh air into the cabin. Leaving hatches open is one way, although rain can exacerbate the situation. Leaving the air conditioning on is another approach that works, but it can lead to an elevated electric bill.
A third possibility is a solar-powered ventilator, such as those made by Nicro. They come in several sizes, and assuming you choose the right-size units and place them correctly, they should go a long way in helping eliminate your problem.
For help in laying out a placement plan for your boat, visit www.marinco.com. According to the company, installation to either a deck or a hatch (as shown here) is easy and can be done by most do-it-yourselfers.
My batteries keep going dead even though I'm plugged into shore power. How do I determine if the problem is my battery charger, the batteries, or a bad connection? S.P. via e-mail
That said, there are some things that you can safely do on your own. After disconnecting your batteries and shore power, start by troubleshooting the basic elements first: Are there blown fuses in the shore-power circuit, on the battery charger, or in your boat's wiring? Are all connections (especially at the battery) clean and tight? Are all cables and wires in good physical shape, with all insulation intact? Is available shore power reliable and consistent?
If all this checks out, you may want to have each battery subjected to a load test to make sure it is capable of holding a charge. Note that if a battery has a short—this will be revealed by a load test—it can drain all the other batteries connected to it, even if they are being charged by shore power.
This is about as far as a layman should go. If the previous tests reveal nothing, an electrician will begin troubleshooting the battery charger by determining that 120-volt A.C. is reaching it. Using a multimeter, he'll first check the dockside A.C. supply. The voltage should be between 110 and 125. If it's less than that, the battery charger may not be able to compensate for the variation of incoming voltage, and its D.C. (12-volt) output will also be low. Next he will apply the multimeter—this time set on the 12-volt scale—to the charger's output side, confirming it has both the proper amperage and voltage.
How can I keep
the snaps and zippers of my bimini top and enclosures working smoothly?

Hi guys, I noticed Twilight Saga Wiki:Quote of the Month is a very long list of beautiful quotes from everyone's favorite characters, and it would seem that 'of the Month' was chosen so that it wouldn't have to be changed too often.
Twilight Saga Wiki:Quote of the Month was deleted, so go to User:Peteparker/dev for an example or to Template:Random_Quote to read how to generate a random Quote. JoKalliauer 05:11, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
I've also noticed on some other wikis that they use a Random Quote system, where they put all the quotes they have into one big list, and the system selects one at random every time the page loads. So once in awhile, the admins could pick the new quotes from the suggestions, and add them to the shuffle at their leisure.
Is this something that would benefit the site? Would any of you be interested in having a feature like this installed?
To help get an idea of what it would be like, I put an example here. You can click the 'New Quote' link to get a new random one. This link could be included on the main page for users to click too while they're there.
— Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk • contribs • email) 05:45, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, an even better example is in the main page draft now, so you can see what it looks like in a main page.
- — Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk • contribs • email) 06:25, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
- It looks fantastic, and I see it's already being used on the main page. The only issue I have with it is that a lot of the quotes have grammar mistakes. I've changed and fixed it on that actual quotes page, but I haven't at Template:Random Quote. ~ Bella Swan 21:07, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
- Glad you like it! I'll try to update the quotes for grammar mistakes, but if I continue to miss some, bear with me. :)

Otley's only Post Office is to close for a fortnight to allow a major revamp to take place.
Post Office Ltd has announced that the Nelson Street outlet is to be turned into one of its new, main-style branches as part of a three-year investment programme.
Otley's will be one of about 6,000 outlets to be converted.
In a statement outlining its objectives, the company said: "Our aim is to create a more modern and convenient retail experience for customers that will include longer opening hours."
The work will create a "modern, open-plan environment" and take 12 days to complete, with the branch closing at 5.30pm on Monday, February 17, and the new-look version opening at 1pm on Saturday, March 1.
The town's three ward Councillors, Colin Campbell, Ryk Downes and Sandy Lay (all Lib Dem, Otley & Yeadon), have all welcomed the news – but are asking for an alternative, temporary service to run in town during the closure.
Coun Lay said: "Since the closure of Otley's sub-post office network, the building on Nelson Street has become increasingly busy.
"Increasing numbers of customers has meant that the facilities are strained and any improvement is to be welcomed."
Coun Downes added: "Our only concern is the length of time that the building will be closed, and the proposal that residents use alternative post offices in Guiseley or Menston.
"As there are now no sub-post offices in Otley, having to travel out of town will be very inconvenient to the able-bodied and impossible for the elderly, many of whom still like to pick up their pension in person.
"We have therefore written to the Post Office and asked if they can set up a temporary sub post office in the town centre to assist residents."
Coun Campbell, meanwhile, said the refurbishment should ensure the branch has modern facilities that will "help maintain its position at the heart of the community".
In their joint letter to the Post Office, the councillors wrote: "We would support the improvements you plan but would like to make the following comments.
"Since the closure of the Otley sub-post office network the Nelson Street office has been the only facility available for the 14,000 Otley residents (plus those from the surrounding rural areas).
"If the Post Office is closed, even for a short period, this will inconvenience local traders, residents and particularly pensioners. As you probably know, Otley has proportionally more pensioners than the national average and many of them like to pick up their pension in person.
"Because the alternative offices you suggested are some distance from the town and not easily accessible for those without access to a car, we are writing to ask if you could set up a temporary sub-post office to cover the period of refurbishment."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Jacksonville has become a huge running community over the years, being home to the nation's largest 15K -- the annual Gate River Run.
There's no doubt many of those runners who call Jacksonville home have to be shaken by the explosions at the Boston Marathon on Monday.
Doug Alred, race director for the Gate River Run, said a number of local runners participated in the Boston Marathon, but he said those he knew who were running were safe.
Runners around the River City shared their reactions about what happened:
"It's pretty scary, isn't it? You may not want to be at a major event like that," runner Laura Wesson said. "But those runners, they're probably going to go anyway because they're dedicated."
"It's so unexpected. I mean, I would never think an explosion at a marathon," runner Morgan Scovill said. "It's so sad. My prayer is all to them."
"For something that's supposed to be so much fun and energetic and helping everyone, and like you said, it's not safe," runner Beverley Sue said. "What is safe now?"
"It's such a scary thing to have happen on a day like the Boston Marathon, where they know they're going to have a huge crowd," said one local runner who worked for the Department of Homeland Security. "No matter what sort of security measures we take, there's always some crazy idiot out there."
Todd Williams, a five-time Gate River Run champion, said an explosion at a race is the last thing on a runner's mind.
"At the 4:09-, 4:10-minute mark in a major marathon, that's really the time that the majority of the people are coming across and trying to break that four-hour barrier," Williams said. "My thinking was, I mean, whoever is responsible definitely knew what was going on within the race situation."

Crayon Box Menorah By Emil Shenfeld
The name is fun, but misleading. This is an expensive menorah ($425.00) and very modern. The name comes from the colored candles and the way they are stored in the same piece used for the display and lighting of them. But you could put any colored or monochromatic candles in there and the menorah is equally s interesting. By Israeli artist Emil Shenfeld.

Greg Goodell, DVM, Heifer Authority, Greeley, Colo., says there are many ways to monitor disease on the dairy (see related article here).
Speaking at the Dr. Jack Walther 85th Annual Western Veterinary Confernece last week in Las Vegas, he said among the many ways to collect data, don't discount the power of "raw counts", i.e. number of abortions, pregnancies, milk fevers, etc. per week.
Knowing what is normal and when these weekly raw counts are abnormal keeps employees engaged in monitoring fluctuations in events. "Dairy employees are the eyes and ears of the dairy and can be quick to notice weekly fluctuations in these types of events and can communicate these to the veterinarian without having to wait for a monthly herd check," Goodell said.

Jon Shenk had never been to the Maldives when, in the fall of 2008, he read about a young activist named Mohamed Nasheed who had just become the country's first democratically elected president after 30 years of horrific dictatorship.
"When I started paying attention to Nasheed's presidency, I was struck by his willingness to say these brutally honest things about the global environment. His was a truly unique political story.
"A lightbulb went on in my head. Here was a chance to completely shift the conversation about climate change from something a lot of people consider boring or are powerless over—climate change—to a story with both inherent drama and a kind of hero.
Weeks later the San Francisco-based filmmaker—who was director of 2004's Lost Boys of Sudan and was DP on the Academy Award-winning Smile Pinki—was face-to-face with the new president, attempting to convince Nasheed to be the subject of a David-versus-Goliath bio-doc.
Shenk asked for unprecedented fly-on-the-wall access to the president, his office, his travels, and backroom negotiations. Within three minutes after meeting, Nasheed agreed.
The filmmakers ultimately trailed the president across five continents, filming him 78 times, gaining backroom access to high-level climate-change negotiations at both the U.N. and Copenhagen's international climate-change conference in November 2009, where the film ends.
But Shenk could not have predicted that just as his film was to be released across the country, Nasheed would be forced out of office by a coup d'état.
"Only later," Shenk tells me on the eve of the nationwide opening of The Island President, "did he tell me he never thought we'd stick around as long as we did."
As I talk to Shenk, he keeps his fingers tightly crossed, hopeful that among the film's opening-night guests at New York's Film Forum (on Wednesday) will be the now-ousted island president.
Jon Bowermaster/TakePart: What was your reaction when you heard President Nasheed had resigned, on February 7?
Jon Shenk: It was devastatingly sad news. I was immediately worried for his safety, and his family's safety.
During our research I'd seen hours of [archival] footage of what is possible when people want to use force in the Maldives, and what we saw last month when he was forced out of office looked eerily similar to the protests he'd led during the fight for democracy days.
One of the first things he did when he was elected was to order all of that riot gear be put away. But as soon as he was deposed, all that stuff—batons, pepper spray, water cannons—came out of the closet.
Jon Bowermaster/TakePart: His deposing was amazing in how quickly it happened, a kind of reverse Arab Spring. You had a democratically elected president being forced out by allies of the dictator he had worked so hard to defeat.
Jon Shenk: It was spooky because late last year Nasheed had publicly cautioned activists in Egypt and Tunisia that just because you oust a dictator doesn't mean it's over. Sure enough, he became the victim of just that.
Jon Bowermaster/TakePart: Even with the incredible access you had to the president and his backroom meetings and strategy, was it difficult to film a sitting president?
Jon Shenk: Yes and no. While we had his cooperation, having one man's cooperation in the Maldives did not mean it was all carte blanche. The Maldives is a country that had been traumatized, so people were wary of cooperating with us. These are people who had lived under a dictator, with people disappearing and constantly fearful of disappearing. We would ask questions about politics, and people would whisper back to us, looking around first before answering to make sure no one was listening.
I got the sense from the start that the shadow of the dictator had not gone away. At the time I thought that was absurd, that the dictator was never going to take power again. Of course, now I've been proven wrong: their fears were founded.
Jon Bowermaster/TakePart: As a journalist and human rights activist before being elected president, Nasheed had been imprisoned by his predecessor, held in solitary confinement, and tortured. He clearly is a big believer in transparency and a free press and has been very good at reaching out to the media. As president he vowed to make the Maldives the first carbon-neutral country and held an underwater cabinet meeting to illustrate the coming impacts of climate change on low-lying island nations. In your time with him would you consider him more activist…or politician?
"…what you see in the film is this journey, this guy trying to get something done that is so bloody hard, nearly impossible. And then to read at the end that he's been deposed by his enemies—it's like twisting the knife in."
Jon Shenk: He's been an activist for much of his life, a Martin Luther King/Gandhi-like figure. To put his own safety on the line, to put up with solitary confinement and torture…this is not activism light.
But he is the first to admit that in order to get attention for important issues you have to be dramatic. He's better at that than any politician I can think of.
So while he'd spent his life organizing on the streets and Internet I was amazed by how really good at governing he became when he stepped into office. But ultimately his efforts to turn out the entrenched corruption in the Maldives and create a functional economy made him a victim of the very wealthy people who were no longer getting their share as he tried to change the system.
Jon Bowermaster/TakePart: What do you think of the criticism Nasheed was receiving in the Maldives before he was ousted that he was spending too much time traveling and working on international climate-change issues and not enough time at home focused on local problems like the economy, crime, drugs, education, etc.?
Jon Shenk: We showed The Island President at a theater in (the Maldivian capitol) Male for a week in November, and it got almost unanimously positive reviews, even from opposition websites. They said they had no idea what he was doing when he went abroad, but when they saw the film, when they saw him trying to get adaptation money and mitigation for the future, then they understood.
When he traveled abroad he was obviously working on international issues that couldn't be more important to the Maldives. In the film you see him working like a dog. If I were a Maldivian, I would realize this is not some playboy going off to have fun; he was a hard-working negotiator working on behalf of the Maldives.
Jon Bowermaster/TakePart: Though he's only been out of the presidency a few weeks, do you have any idea what's next for him?
Jon Shenk: I asked him the same question over the phone 10 days ago. What he said kind of shocked me in its optimism. He basically said he thinks this may turn out to be a good thing, that if and when there are new elections in the Maldives, the people are going to know much more about who the remnants of the corrupt oligarchy are. Perhaps if Nasheed or some decent person is able to take power again, maybe that person will have more leeway to root out the criminals.
I look forward to following his career. The world of international climate politics is virtually impossible to change, because there is so much inertia. But he has carved out a place for himself in the environmental movement, which is looking for leadership.
Of course, that's all on a back burner right now since he fears for his life and is still trying to maintain democracy in the Maldives. Because he's smart, charismatic, and knows what's right and wrong, I think he still has an amazing career ahead of him.
Jon Bowermaster/TakePart: Have you made any changes to the film given that he is no longer the president?
Jon Shenk: We never really saw this film as a news story but as a kind of David vs. Goliath tale about one of the "good people." You see him standing up to leaders from China, Europe, the U.S. and India, saying over and over, "We're not going to stand down." So the film is really about leadership and the story of a man and how he's chosen to live his life.
To change the film would pierce that. It is about what happened to him during that period, a precious document of that time of his life.
We did add a card at the end of the film that explains what's gone on in the last couple months. I've been in audiences when that card comes up at the end, and there are audible sighs, because what you see in the film is this journey, this guy trying to get something done that is so bloody hard, nearly impossible. And then to read at the end that he's been deposed by his enemies—it's like twisting the knife in.

text: Identified: Plants in St Louis limestone. Another first for Creation Researchers as more Giant Tassel Ferns (Lepidodendron) are excavated, mapped and identified alongside marine brachiopods in the oil bearing, Lower Mississippian, St Louis limestone of Middle Tennessee. There is no doubt that this is a flood deposit (mixed land and sea creatures) and preliminary indications show the plants have come from the west and have been current deposited in a similar direction to plants in our previous discovery (2001) in Upper Mississippian limestones and shales. It is highly unlikely the same current was in operation for some 30 million years, so the implication is both Upper and Lower Mississippian rocks comes from the one flood event. Bob Powell, Bob Stewart and John Mackay continue to research this exciting find.

Brambles has reported a net profit of $302.5 million for the six months to December, a 26 per cent increase from the previous corresponding period.
The pallets and containers supplier declared in interim dividend of 13.5 cents per share, 30 per cent franked.
Shares were down 0.8 per cent to $8.58 in afternoon trade.
The company's chief executive Tom Gorman said the rise in first-half profits was a result of Brambles' strength in established operations and its ongoing ability to deliver profitable growth.
"The continued growth and improved efficiency of the Americas region of our pallets segment, despite our moderate improvement in economic conditions to date is particularly pleasing " he said.
Brambles also reported a 4 per cent rise in sales revenue to $2.9 billion in the first-half of the 2012/13 financial year.

GLANDORF — Ashley Hoehn, a 2010 Ottoville High School graduate,
launched her career at the Putnam County Science Fair. When she was in
the eighth grade, Hoehn started a project, "The Effects of Cinnamon on
Diabetes." Her hypothesis was that people who suffered from diabetes
would benefit from taking a daily dose of cinnamon. The youngster
provided 20 subjects with a capsule containing one gram of the spice,
which they took for three months. Hoehn was able to conclude that the
cinnamon was effective, as the subjects' blood sugar was reduced by 20
Over the next five years, she refined and modified the
venture. During her junior and senior years of high school, she was
invited to present her project at the Intel International Science and
Engineering Fair (ISEF). She was one of 1,600 winners of various science
fair competitions from 70 countries that participated in a week-long
celebration of science, technology, engineering, and math. Hoehn
traveled to Reno, Nevada and San Jose, California, to share her
knowledge. "It was a fantastic experience," she recalled. "I got to see
what students from other countries were doing. I felt insignificant
because they were finding cures for cancer or making prosthetic limbs
from household items."
She was awarded $250,000 in scholarships as
a result of her project. "I didn't take a penny—I didn't want to attend
those schools," she declared.
Hoehn is now a senior at Ohio
Northern University, majoring in pharmacy. "My project definitely helped
me choose my career," she said.
In December 2012, Hoehn and her
academic advisor, Amy Stockert, published a paper, "The Effects of
Cinnamomum Cassia on Blood Glucose Values are Greater than those of
Dietary Changes Alone," on the National Center for Biotechnology
Information web site.
This year, Hoehn came full circle and was a
judge at the 60th Annual Putnam County Science Fair on Feb. 8. This
year's event took place at Glandorf Elementary School.
"It was a
great experience," she related. "It reminded me where I was at that age.
I love seeing students take an interest in something scientific."
She also was a featured speaker prior to the awards ceremony.

MARLOW residents urged council planners to protect the "jewel in the crown" of the district at a meeting to discuss the town's future.
Wycombe District Council hosted an evening workshop at the Shelley Theatre, Court Garden, as part of its consultation into forming its Local Plan until 2031.
The council must comply with government rules to meet growth in housing and business, meaning room must be found to build up to 700 extra houses a year in the district.
Marlow is surrounded by the protected Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) to the north and flood plain to the south, making it hard to find areas to build new homes.
Only 90 houses have been built in Marlow over the last six years, representing three per cent of the district's housing need.
But the council's plans have identified the town as a key business site given its strong connections to the Thames Valley, with a possible new 10 hectare business park for Westhorpe Park.
Head of Planning and Sustainability Penelope Tolliitt said: "We are talking about a huge challenge to pass on to the next generation, that's why we're calling it the big challenge plan.
"We need to make sure we take the right decisions so we are proud to pass the town on. Marlow is a constrained town from a building point of view, so we need to balance the constraints with the options available to us."
At last night's workshop-style meeting, residents had the chance to sit around tables with WDC staff and discuss their hopes and fears for Marlow's future.
Marlovians were asked to write anonymous feedback about the legacy they want the Local Plan to create.
Most responses centred on retaining Marlow's character, open spaces and picturesque setting, with one town residents calling it the "jewel in the crown" of the whole district.
With green belt land lying to the south of Marlow, planners are asking whether a review of the protected land should be undertaken to consider building houses on it.
This drew a mixed reaction, with some residents open to using the open spaces near Bourne End for development and others keen to see it protected.
A proposal to build a 10-hectare business park at Westhorpe Park near the Marlow bypass came under fire, with many concerned it would hamper the mooted country park in the Little Marlow gravel pits.
Issues raised at the meeting included the need for more affordable housing, the importance of retaining open spaces, better public transport and the possibility of higher density housing to maximise space.
Some residents called for the underutilised Globe Park business centre to be turned into housing But with Marlow identified as a key business asset, planner said they were keen to keep it for business use alongside the Thames Estate and Marlow International to prevent Marlow simply becoming a 'dormitory town'.
With last month's devastating floods still fresh in the memory, WDC staff were quick to reassure worried Marlovians that measures would be taken to avoid building in the flood plain.
Tony Shannon, trustee of Riley Park, said any development would need to consider Marlow's narrow residential streets, some of which are already overloaded.
Former WDC planning chairman Derek Done threw doubt on the consultation process, asking how residents could trust that any agreed policy would not be overturned in future.
He gave the example of the Marlow link road, which remained planning policy for well over a decade before the decision was taken recently to dispense with the idea.
Neil Marshall, WDC planning chairman and Marlow councillor, said if a Local Plan policy was not set the council's control over future building projects would be lost.
He said: "We have got problems in terms of accommodating growth, and we need to recognise them.
"If we do not, and we fail to meet our needs then developers will win out and be able to go ahead on appeal with whatever they like."

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) chief Brad Drewett will meet with players on Saturday and address a new rule aimed at speeding up the game that has drawn criticism from professionals on the men's tour.
This year, the ATP are enforcing a regulation that gives players 25 seconds to serve the ball or face a warning and then the loss of a point for a second violation.
The new rule has sparked complaints from players who have fallen foul of the law.
Grand slams have had a time limit of 20 seconds for a number of years but the rule is rarely enforced and top players like Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic regularly flout it with drawn-out preparations to serves.
The new rule was endorsed by the ATP player's council last month but stricter enforcement at warm-up tournaments ahead of next week's Australian Open has raised concerns from players about a crackdown at the year's first grand slam where five-set matches in extreme heat often feature.
Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley on Friday indicated players would be afforded some leeway at Melbourne Park, where officials would use "good sense, good judgment" in enforcing the 20-second rule.
"The Australian Open as a grand slam will not be doing anything different to what we've done in the past, we will still enforce the 20-second rule," he told reporters.
Last year's final between winner Djokovic and Nadal took five hours and 53 minutes, a record in grand slam finals, with both players taking breaks of up to 30 seconds between points.
Djokovic, whose drawn-out bouncing of the ball before serves has long irked opponents, said he would fall in line if officials took a hard line in Melbourne.
"I cannot have any complaints when I take more than 20 seconds between the points," he told reporters. "If the chair umpire comes to me and said, 'Listen, you should be a little bit more careful about it', if I do it again, he gives me warning, I can't complain about it. It's within the rules and I will respect it."
Seventh seed Jo Wilfried-Tsonga said he supported more enforcement of the time limits, and said the new 25-second rule should at least be given a trial.
"I think we'll try it and see what (happens)," said the Frenchman. "It's part of the rules to have time violations. It's good to have some."
Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash said policing the limits was a matter of respecting spectators and TV viewers.
"I think they need to enforce them," the Australian said on Friday. "As much as we like Novak bouncing balls between points, I think the fans just want to see some tennis."

Agribusiness executives generally believe the ag economy and business environment will strengthen over the coming year, according to a poll from Agri Marketing magazine and the American Business Media's (ABM) Agri-Council.
The poll combines responses to several questions to calculate an "Agri-Marketers Confidence Index" (ACI) relating to current conditions and a similar index for the longer-term outlook. The most current poll, conducted in October, shows the ACI for current conditions at 84, down from 94 in the same poll conducted in June. The ACI for expectations over the next 12 months however, at 89, was up significantly from the June index of 72. The overall ACI improved from 81 in June to 87 in October.
Asked how they believe business conditions will be for their companies in the U.S. agricultural market 12 months from now, 45 percent of polled executives responded that business will be better, 53 percent expect conditions to remain the same and 2 percent expect poorer conditions. Those figures compare with 33 percent, 54 percent and 13 percent expecting better, similar or poorer conditions respectively in the June survey.
Asked to assess the current and 12-month outlook for U.S. farmers and ranchers, 65 percent rated the current outlook positive and 46 percent expect conditions to improve over the next 12 months. Another 46 percent expect conditions to remain the same 12 months from now.
Of the respondents, 41 percent expect to increase their budgets for marketing products to farmers and ranchers one year from now, while 62 percent expect their marketing budgets will remain the same.
Agri Marketing Publisher Lynn Henderson notes that marketers selling products to livestock producers have a somewhat negative view of the current economic environment, as high input costs squeeze margins in spite of high livestock prices. They see the longer-term outlook more positive though. "The speculation is the higher crop prices will push planted acres up next year," he says. "With anything close to normal yields, crop prices could fall substantially, bringing profitability back into the livestock sector."

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – The 4-0 Saint Leo men's soccer team entered the national top-25 on Tuesday, collecting the No.16 ranking, it was announced by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA).
Saint Leo, who has not been ranked since September of 2010, has defeated their first four opponents of the 2011 season and has scored a conference-leading 17 goals.
Highlighting the Lions' undefeated start was a 4-1 defeat of Catawba last Sunday in Salisbury, N.C.
Edgar Herrera and Aaron Gendreau have led the way for the Lions in scoring, tallying four goals apiece, while McKenzey Scott has conceded just three goals en route to a 4-0 record in net.

1752 — Lancaster County, PA
Felix was born to Felix Huber and Maria (unknown) in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1752. His birth was unrecorded because the Lutheran Church was without a pastor during the year of his birth. However, we do have church records of his 4 sisters and 2 brothers: Catherine in 1745, Anna Barbara in 1747, Maria in 1749, Tobias in 1750, Johann Jurgen in 1753, and Mary Catherine in 1756. Felix later became a Baptist. His wife's name was Sarah Clark, daughter of William and Mary Clark.

POND-dipping, bird-box building and snake egg spotting activities have helped a group of young wildlife enthusiasts scoop a national accolade.
The jam-packed programme enjoyed by the Watch Out Wednesdays group wowed the Wildlife Trusts judges and saw them win the Watch Group of the Year.
The children were presented with a trophy by Professor Graham Martin, chairman of the charity's trustees, as well as received £50 and a certificate signed by vice president Nick Baker.
Children aged between five and eleven years old meet at Lower Smite Farm, Hindlip, near Worcester, for an hour and half once a month.
They explained why they enjoyed being part of the award-winning group.
Eight-year-old Anjuna Duke, from Worcester, said: "We don't like WoW, we love it. It's learning all about wildlife in a fun way all year long."
Isabel Faith Jones, also eight and from Droitwich Spa, agreed.
She added: "Our Watch our Wednesdays are so much fun – we get to do so many amazing wildlife activities.
"I've learned so much from this group and always look forward to the next meeting."
Throughout 2013, the children visited poppy fields, cooked worm bread on the campfire as well as got up close with slow-worms, hunted for grasshoppers and made woodland musical instruments.
Heather Bainbridge, one of the group's leaders commented "We're so proud.
"We've actively explored Worcestershire over the past 12 months and all of the children regularly astonish me with their enthusiasm for wildlife.
"I love being a Watch leader – I can share my passion for wildlife with young people but I also learn so much from the children themselves."

"I'm so happy with this purchase! I ordered Sunday and received email proofs Monday am! So easy to work with this company! They shipped just a couple days after the proofs were approved, very pleased! Quality was great! I couldn't find a JPEG to submit that showed everything I needed some have a start and end point and the most beautiful map was designed for me even better than I imagined! Sooooo worth it!!"
"Great quality! I worked with the proofing team to get everything on this page that I could'nt fit by myself. super helpful team!!"
"I ordered these as enclosure card for my rehearsal dinner information. The were shipped quickly once I reviewed the final product."
"Exactly as I was hoping everything would look. I ordered several pieces with this design and every thing was amazing. The customer service staff was also lovely to work with and quickly answered every questions that arose."
"We debated adding Accommodations cards to our invitations since we have a website and assumed people could get their information there. However, I am so glad I changed my mind! These are perfectly matched to my invitations and they are the perfect size...about the same size as the response card. They shouldn't drive up shipping costs when sending the invites. I modified the card to say the name of our hotel block in the top box above the hotel information and used the bottom box (under the address) to include information about the wedding website. I love that someone edits each card personally to catch minor grammatical errors, etc."

Kookaburras skipper Mark Knowles admits he was shocked at the decision to axe hockey superstar Jamie Dwyer for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Dwyer has been an integral member of the side since 2001 and scored the winning goal in the 2004 Olympic final in Athens.
But his record-equalling 321st appearance in the 6-1 World Cup final win over The Netherlands looks like being his last after he was left out of the 16-man squad on Tuesday.
"Jamie has been an integral part of the group for so long," Knowles said. "He's very disappointed to miss out as the Commonwealth Games is such a major event.
"But change is happening within the group and there is one eye on the Rio Olympics."
Dwyer's omission is the second bombshell to hit the Kookaburras in less than a week after coach Ric Charlesworth decided to stand down after the World Cup.
Charlesworth had made his intentions to quit known earlier this year, but had originally stated he would stay on until until after Glasgow.
Hockey Australia has put Charlesworth's assistants, Graham Reid and Paul Gaudoin, in charge for the Games and has already started the search for a full-time replacement.
Knowles said the squad was caught on the hop by Charlesworth's decision, but said Reid and Gaudoin had the right credentials to take control of the side.
"It did surprise us, but I think what he saw at the World Cup was something very special and not just the players but for him as well," he said.
"It was definitely a shock but we have such great coaches in Graham Reid and Paul Gaudoin who have been his offsiders for five or six years.
"They have the same philosophy as Ric and we know we are in good hands."
Knowles said the decision to have joint head coaches would also be something the players would need to get used to.
"It's going to be a big change. In some ways they are different in how they look at the game and interact with the players, but we have upmost confidence in them as coaches," he said.
The Hockeyroos, who reached the final of the World Cup, have named 15 of the 16 players involved in the tournament with 21 year-old forward Brooke Peris the one addition.
Peris is the cousin of Nova Peris-Kneebone, a member of the 1996 Olympic gold medal-winning team and double gold winner at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur in the 200 metres sprint and 4x100 metres relay.
Skipper Madonna Blyth says nothing less than retaining the gold medal they won in Delhi four years ago will suffice for a team that contains 15 of the 18 players that performed so well in The Hague
"We go to Glasgow pretty confident after winning silver at the World Cup and have won gold at the last two games," Blyth said.
"If we continue to play the same way as we have over the last 18 months then there is no reason why we can't win again."

THE footage of the boozed up Colley Gate woman who drove the wrong way up the M5 has been released.
In the early hours of December 4 last year 26-year-old care assistant Katy Homer was stopped after officers dealing with a separate traffic matter spotted a Vauxhall Astra leaving the motorway at junction 1, up the entry sliproad.
Cameras on the motorway showed the car having driven into the path of vehicles, including heavy goods lorries, as she travelled north from Oldbury to West Bromwich on the southbound carriageway.
Homer, of Clent View, Halesowen, drove the car around the traffic island at junction 1, where police stopped her in her tracks.
Inspector Dave Southam, from Sandwell Police Investigation Team, said: "There is no doubt how serious this incident could have been.
"Ms Homer drove the wrong way along the M5 for around four miles and CCTV footage from the time shows other vehicles having to move out of the way.
"Thankfully, due to the time of day, the motorway was not as busy as it otherwise might have been and so no significant harm was caused to others.
"Ultimately driving whilst under the influence poses a risk to both the driver and others on the road − regardless of whether it is on a motorway or a quiet side street and this case will hopefully serve as a warning to others who make the dangerous mistake of getting behind the wheel after they've had a drink."
Ms Homer entered a guilty plea to both charges yesterday and will be sentenced at Wolverhampton Crown Court on 28 March. She was given an interim disqualification from driving.

I met Anna through Twitter (@notAnna) - I always look to see if people who start following me have a blog, and sometimes they do! I was very interested to see that Anna wrote a blog called FemTaur - dedicated to the beautiful Female Tauren!
She has lots of outfits on her site, and she also looks at what other Female Taurens are wearing - including NPCs! Other famous female taurens such as Kamalia frequent her site also, and I was fascinated to see that she was from my previous server, Khadgar. Anna also is on the forums as Aune.
The first few visits were easy - since I already have old toons there, I just had to pop on and see if any of her guildies were on. Often they were not. Which means... they must be American. Somewhere on the other side of the planet. So I had to try to get on at the opposite time.
One day I logged in and there were guildies of hers on! But I had just missed her, and she had gone to bed when I checked her Twitter. So I sent her a message and hoped for the best.
I tried again some time later, and I was lucky, there was Annabee!!!
I told her it was my old server, and I told her how much I loved how she showcased female taurens! I decided that if I was going to have real alts, Horde side, I would have all female taurens.
I tried to do a CRZ but it didn't work!!! :( So I had to get my low level troll in the starting area meet the famous Aune :) And wouldn't you know it, we were happily chatting away about her competition that she had recently on her blog, when my son woke up with a bleeding nose and ruined my navispam! But, at least I got her battletag so I can now chat to her whenever I like, and ask her all the cow things :)
Doesn't her paladin look absolutely gorgeous?? I want to look like that! And her druid Annabee has a lovely set to go with her fan! Thank you Annabee for letting me visit and chat, and hope to do it again soon.

Wiltshire Council is continuing its work to assist those who have been affected by this winter's severe floods.
Met Office statistics show that southern England has endured its most winter rainfall on record for 248 years. As a consequence properties and roads across Wiltshire have suffered from flooding.
Further bad weather is being predicted later today and over the weekend with the council having highways staff ready to help those affected.
Wiltshire councillor Jonathon Seed, Wiltshire Council's cabinet member responsible for flooding, said: "Despite the terrible weather we have had on and off since just before Christmas, the response from staff and people within the community has been excellent and I'd like to thank everyone, particularly those who have been working around the clock often in challenging conditions.
"Unfortunately, due to high river levels and groundwater flooding, any extra rain is liable to cause more difficulties.
"We will continue to work with our partners throughout the weekend and into next week to ensure the often devastating disruption caused by flooding is kept to an absolute minimum."
Anyone wishing to report a flooding problem can call the council's highways team on 0300 456 0105 while details of road closures can be found at www.wiltshire.gov.uk/communityandliving/civilemergencies/emergencynotices.htm#80

The Prophet Moses (pbuh)
Titles of Egyptian Rulers in the Qur'an
The Prophet Moses (pbuh) was not the only prophet to have lived in ancient Egypt. The Prophet Joseph (pbuh) had also lived in Egypt long before the time of the Prophet Moses (pbuh).
In the stories of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) and the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) in the Qur'an, there is another important piece of information. To refer to the Egyptian ruler at the time of the Prophet Joseph (pbuh), the word "malik" (the King) is used in the Qur'an:
The King (Malik) said, "Bring him (Joseph) to me straight away! So I may draw him very close to me." When he had spoken with him, he declared, "Today you are trusted, established in our sight." (Surah Yusuf: 54)
In the time of the Prophet Moses (pbuh), however, the Egyptian ruler is referred to as the "Pharaoh":
We gave Moses nine Clear Signs. Ask the tribe of Israel about when he came to them and Pharaoh said to him, "Moses, I think you are bewitched." (Surat al-Isra': 101)
Historical records now available provide the reasons for the different names used to refer to these two rulers of Egypt. In ancient Egypt, the term "pharaoh" originally referred to the royal palace. During the reign of the ancient kingdoms, the rulers did not hold such a title. The word "pharaoh" came to be used as a synonym for the Egyptian king under the New Kingdom (starting in the 18th dynasty, 1539-1292 B.C.), and by the 22nd dynasty (c. 945-c. 730 B.C.) it had been adopted as an epithet of respect.1
Here again, the miraculous qualities of the Qur'an are evidenced once again: because the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) lived much before the New Kingdom, the Qur'an refers to the Egyptian king who was contemporary of the Prophet Joseph with the word "malik" and not "pharaoh." The Prophet Moses (pbuh), on the other hand, lived during the time of the New Kingdom, and, therefore, the Egyptian ruler who was contemporary of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) was referred to in the Qur'an as "pharaoh."
Clearly, such a distinction implies a certain knowledge of the history of the ancient Egypt. However, as mentioned earlier, the history of Ancient Egypt was completely forgotten by the 4th century, since hieroglyphic writing was not deciphered until the 19th century. Therefore, during the period the Qur'an was revealed, no in-depth knowledge of Egyptian history was available. This fact is yet another piece of evidence, among countless of others, proving the fact that Qur'an is the word of Allah.
Those who perform good actions will receive better than them and will be safe that Day from fear. (Surat an-Naml: 89)

Knights look to beat Swinton three-fold
10:42am Saturday 9th February 2013
By Peter Martini
10:42am Saturday 9th February 2013
By Peter Martini
YORK City Knights kick off their home campaign in the Kingstone Press Championship tomorrow with their need to beat Swinton three-fold.
Boss Gary Thornton is eager to turn Huntington Stadium into a fortress – aided by noisy support – and he wants to take points off a team he sees as one of York's rivals in the battle for a lower play-off berth.
The new-look Knights also want to get into the winning groove quickly, having begun the season with defeat at Whitehaven. The club's only win last season came against Swinton.
Said Thornton: "We want to make our home a fortress and this is our first attempt at that.
"There are tough places to go to in this league, as was proved at Whitehaven, so it makes it more important to get something out of your home games.
"There are five clubs you expect to be in the play-offs and everyone else is scrapping for the other three places. Swinton are one of them – they're among our big competitors for the top eight."
Thornton has added fit-again Ed Smith, Aaron Lyons and, should he pass a late test, Matt Nicholson to a 19-man squad, augmented by the dual-reg arrivals of Jack Briscoe and Joe Arundel. Dual-reg duo Josh Bowden and Jamie Shaul, plus James Haynes, are not involved.
Knights (possible): Carr, Briscoe, Ford, Arundel, Lineham, Brown, Nicklas, Nicholson, Lee, Aldous, Scott, Hadley, Golden. Subs: from Brining, Bell, Smith, Sullivan, Latus, Lyons.
• THE clubcall system will not be introduced into the Championships play-offs after clubs voted overwhelmingly to reject it.
The system is used in Super League whereby the team placed highest in the table gets to choose qualifying semi-final opponents.
The 14-team Championship is to switch from a six to an eight-team play-off system, to mirror Super League, but minus clubcall.
In the nine-team Championship One, the table-toppers go up automatically, with teams placed second to sixth playing off for the second promotion place.
Lions in focus
Last year: eighth.
Current league position: n/a.
Coach: Steve McCormack.
The only team the Knights beat last year lost key men in Ian Mort, Mike Morrison, Dale Cuniffe (all to Australia), Alex Hurst (London Broncos), Karl Ashall (Halifax), Adam Higson (Leigh) and Tom Armstrong (Sheffield) in the off-season.
They brought in some cover, possibly the most notable being Andy Ballard and Josh Barlow, but coach McCormack still headed into the season with a threadbare roster – that was until he signed Warrington's entire open-age squad on either dual-reg or permanent (how permanent remains to be seen) contracts.
Squad for tomorrow: from Richie Hawkyard, Andy Ballard, Martin Ainscough, Ian Watson, Josh Barlow, Darren Hawkyard, Mark Smith, Ryan Shaw, Jack Morrison, James Mendeika, Gene Ormsby, James Laithwaite, Tyrone McCarthy, Glenn Riley, Liam Hulme, Danny Bridge, David Mills.
One to watch: plenty of eyes will be on dual-reg star Tyrone McCarthy.
Partnership club: Warrington Wolves.
Season prediction: Much will depend on success of the link with Warrington – without it the Lions might be more like pussycats.
Ground: Leigh Sports Village.
Miles from York: 82.

Hey everyone,
I'm looking to get a waterproof camera and I've looked through the threads on them and I think the jury is still out on which camera I want to get. From the videos I've seen I really want to get a camera to mount on my board.
I'm just curious if anyone has any advice on mounting techniques? What works? What doesn't work? I'm looking at adhesive, suction cup. But I wanted to see if there was anyone out there with specific experience in the matter.
Thanks a ton!

Satanic Story Time - Episode 26 – "Corpse Without a Conscience"
Satanic Story Time presents episode 26 – "Corpse Without a Conscience" from Inner Sanctum Mystery, plus a track from Mercyful Fate entitled, "A Corpse Without Soul". In this mystery presented during The Devil's Workshop: The story unfolds as the battle for property inheritance ensues. Mario Bullimi is robbed of his property because of a legal loophole. Charles Ferguson and Mario conjure up a way to frighten Charles' aunt "to death" (literally). They devise a plan to make it appear as if Mario Bullimi has returned from the grave to haunt Edna Ferguson for robbing him of his esteemed property. Their plans go sour when Edna Ferguson survives their elaborate scare tactics. Mario "flakes", stabs, and kills the elderly woman, claiming that the opportunity to murder her was too paramount to resist. The butler, Horton, becomes suspicious and wants his own peace of mind. But he is shot because he learns too much about the conspirators' evil plans. Conspiracies, lies, and deception run their course as the two former friends engage in a life or death struggle for inheritance of the property and the money. Who will prevail in their evil plans? Or will irony be the sole survivor of this blood soaked story?
