ABSECON — City Council is expected to hold a hearing at its Thursday meeting on a redeveloper's plans for a failed age-restricted project in a former school building that has sat vacant in the middle of the city for almost a decade.
Council is scheduled to formally hear the proposal by Boardwalk Design & Development to redevelop the Absecon Gardens complex in the city, said City Council President Jim Vizthum. An immediate decision is not expected. The company's proposal shrinks earlier plans by about 25 percent while dropping the age restrictions that limited tenants to people 55 years and older.
"What's going to happen is they're going to present the compromise, each side will talk and hopefully a lot of members of the public will be there to comment," Vizthum said.
Vizthum said he would not attend the meeting because of his family's business involvement with Thomas Sykes, one of the owners.
Anthony Cappuccio, the president of Boardwalk Design & Development, could not be reached for comment. Last month he said, "I'm very happy with the agreement and I'm very anxious to go to sales. We just keep saying that over and over again: 'We're anxious to go to sales.'"
The hearing is the latest move in the lengthy, multi-year process around the long-vacant building.
The former H. Ashton Marsh School was built in 1914, holding nearly 100 people in grades 1 through 8. It served kindergarten through fourth grade when Absecon students departed in 1990. The Atlantic County Special Services School District partially renovated the building, then moved out of the rechristened Winchell School in 2003.
City officials originally hoped to capitalize on the shuttered school by permitting redevelopers to remake the building into an age-restricted apartment complex. Like others across the country, they believed wealthy seniors would benefit the town without growing its schools.
But as in other towns, again, Absecon officials have had to revisit the projects when they went unbuilt because of oversupply and the 2008 financial crisis. The city Planning Board supported lifting age restrictions in 2011, following a 2009 state law, but development has been mired in litigation that this agreement may resolve.
Neighbors have opposed similar conversions, speaking at length on the negative outcomes they expected to occur.
The Absecon Planning Board unanimously rejected a proposal last month that would have rezoned the Visions at the Shore tract on Pitney Road and permitted some all-ages development.
Attorney Jack Plackter, who represented Visions owner Amboy Bank, said an appeal was planned.
Others from the Save Absecon committee said they plan to attend Thursday's hearing.
Barbara Brown, who lives near to the Absecon Gardens building, said she has long opposed the project.
"It's going to have a great impact on my quality of life," she said, adding the Save Absecon group was upset with the developer. She is currently being sued by Cappuccio, she said, with a court date scheduled for Jan. 24 in front of Superior Court Judge James Isman. Cappuccio's suit alleges defamation, libel and slander.
The agreement set to be discussed Thursday generally reduces the overall Absecon Gardens project by about 25 percent, while increasing parking spaces.
Other details:
Housing would not be restricted by age.
The existing building would hold 40 housing units, with and additional eight Church Street townhouses in the first phase.
A second phase would add 10 townhouses on Church Street.
When complete, the project would include 58 housing units and at least 121 off-street parking spaces. Mechanic Street would not be realigned.
Six units would be set aside for low-income residents and six would be designated for moderate-income residents. The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development defines low income in Atlantic County as up to $54,850 for a family of four, while HUD rules define moderate income as up to $65,130 for a four-person family.
Building heights would be limited to 55 feet
The complete agreement is available at in the offices of the City Clerk, City Hall, 500 Mill Road, Absecon, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays. It also can be downloaded from the municipal website, absecon-newjersey.org.

A Thorn In The Side Of Pirates - New Global Maritime Operations Centre Opens
Press call 16 Feb 12 - new state of the art global anti-piracy centre in Portsmouth opens. Intelligence Analysts and Operations Officers available for interview on how the 24/7 operations room helps to fight global maritime piracy and terrorism.
Members of the press are invited to the opening of a new state of the art global anti-piracy centre in Portsmouth. Intelligence Analysts and Operations Officers will be on hand for interview to explain how their 24/7 operations room helps to fight global maritime piracy and terrorism and avoid tragedies such as the Costa Concordia disaster. Journalists and photographers will be able to see real-time threats to vessels avoided and watch live streaming of intelligence as it beams direct into the hub from sources all over the world.
Date: Thursday 16th February 2012
Time: 1400-1600hrs
Where: Technopole, Dryad Maritime Operations Centre, Kingston Crescent, Portsmouth, PO2 8FA. (Take the M275 from the M27 towards Portsmouth and the first exit before the flyover – signposted North End and Cross Channel Ferries. Take the second exit at the roundabout, sign-posted North End. Turn first right, in front of the Travelodge hotel. You can park in front of the building if there's space or in the car park opposite. Sign in at reception to avoid a parking ticket).
Confirm attendance: Nikki Carpenter, Head of Marketing & Communications +44 (0)7786 513757
Home to some impressive, state of the art technology, the centre is pivotal in monitoring and analysing the movements, assaults and trends of pirate action groups around the world. To seafarers, the centre is a lifeline. It tells them where the pirates are, where they are headed and what they look like. When too close for comfort, the centre warns ships and they are diverted to safer waters. Manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by a team of ex-Royal Navy warfare specialists and intelligence experts, the centre is reminiscent of a scene from a James Bond movie.
"We expect the threat from piracy to continue, we are investing heavily in infrastructure and technology to give our clients an outsourced operations centre that rivals any naval force. Utilising real-time, analysis led Maritime Intelligence can save on average 3-4 days for a vessel in transit with related savings to Charterers and Shipowners on Bunkers, Hire and the employment of physical security teams amounting to around $90,000 - $220,000 per transit."
Karen Jacques, Chief Operating Officer, Dryad Maritime and SAMI board member.
Notes to Editors:
Dryad Maritime is a specialist maritime intelligence company helping seafarers to quantify, mitigate and manage the threats from piracy, terrorism and other waterborne threat and crime. The predictive nature and practical application of Dryad's intelligence enables seafarers to make planning and operational decisions that safeguard their safety as well as their commercial operations.

At LegalTech New York 2013, a panel of experts set out to bring some clarity to the often confusing world of social media and break down some practical strategies for how law firms can leverage the power of social media to secure new clients.
The session, "Taming the Wild West of Social Media: The Secrets of Social Media Success in the Legal Profession," was moderated by Steve Mann, chief marketing officer of the Research & Litigation Solutions business at LexisNexis®. The featured panelists were Larry Bodine, editor in chief of Lawyers.comSM and martindale.com®, a former litigator who has been a law firm marketing consultant for more than a decade and has advised 250 law firms in that time; and Stephen Fairley, chief executive officer of The Rainmaker Institute, the author of 12 books and 10 audio learning programs regarding how law firms can win new business.
The purpose of the session was to explore the state of social media in the legal industry today, examine new and improved social media best practices in specific online channels (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, blogging, etc.), and assess the various ethical considerations about which law firms must be aware.
The feedback from the panel discussion was so terrific that we thought it would be useful for you to have highlights from the session in a series of short blog posts, including topical video clips that virtually put you at the session. Next week, we'll dig in by providing the backdrop for social media today, including an analysis of the changing demographics in America and the implications of those changes on the business value of social media. In the meantime, you can get Larry Bodine and Stephen Fairley's reaction to the session by viewing a short four-minute video.
As we pointed out in our blog last month, according to the 2012 Attorney Selection Research Study by The Research Intelligence Group (TRiG), 26 percent of American consumers used one of the major social media sites when gathering information about a legal issue and more than one in five (22 percent) said they turned to a social media site to actually find a lawyer they felt might be able to help them with their legal need. Social media is not just a cool fad for the kids to communicate with each other; it's a serious marketing channel for law firms to win new clients. To get a free Social Media Evaluation for your firm, contact a LexisNexis Law Firm Marketing Specialist.

The purposes of this study are:
- To determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements for identifying intracranial hematomas due to trauma.
- To determine the reproducibility of the Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements with different operators and at different centers
|TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury)
|Device: Infrascanner
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Double (Care Provider, Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
|Official Title:
|A Multi-Center Study of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) for Hematoma Detection
- 1) Sensitivity of the Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Measurements for Identifying Intracranial Hematomas Due to Trauma. 2) Specificity of the Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Measurements for Identifying Intracranial Hematomas Due to Trauma. [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
We will report Sensitivity and Specificity of NIRS device as compared to CT scanner to detect hematomas of more than 3.5 mL in volume and less than 2.5 cm from the surface of the brain.
Sensitivity is the ratio between true positives to all positive measurements. Specificity is the ratio between true negatives to all negative measurements.
- To Determine the Reproducibility of the Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Measurements With Different Operators and at Different Centers [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
|Study Start Date:
|July 2006
|Study Completion Date:
|January 2011
|Primary Completion Date:
|January 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Infrascanner measurment and CT scan
The standard head CT done to head trauma patients
Device: Infrascanner
The main Near-Infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) head measurement
Detailed Description:
The principle used in identifying intracranial hematomas with Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is that extravascular blood absorbs Near-infrared light more than intravascular blood since there is a greater (usually 10-fold greater) concentration of hemoglobin in the acute hematoma then in the brain tissue where blood is contained within vessels. Therefore, the absorbance of Near-infrared light is greater (and therefore the reflected light less) on the side of the brain containing a hematoma, than on the uninjured side.
The NIRS sensor is placed successively in the left and right frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital areas of the head and the absorbance of light at selected wavelengths is recorded. The difference in optical density in the different areas is calculated.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|Child, Adult, Senior
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Undergoing a CT scan within 12 hours of their head injury. The criteria for obtaining a CT scan will be based on the standard of care, but generally all patients with a moderate or severe head injury will receive a CT scan on admission to the hospital, and only patients who undergo a CT will be enrolled into the study. The non-contrast CT will be performed according to standard methods.
Exclusion Criteria:
- 12 hours or more since injury.
- Massive scalp lacerations, avulsions, and hematomas The limitation to injury within 12 hours is necessary because as hematoma blood is metabolized, the absorbance characteristics change.

TRW Automotive is one of the world's largest automotive suppliers, producing braking, steering and suspension systems, and occupant safety systems in nearly 200 locations on four continents.
After introducing Lean in manufacturing, the company deployed Six Sigma in 2001, and applies the methodology in both manufacturing and business processes.
In general, as Six Sigma deployments become more mature, there is a danger of stagnating. To counter apparent suboptimization of Six Sigma at TRW, in 2007 the vice president of global quality, program management and Business Excellence challenged his group to examine itself.
Through a DMAIC project, the company used Six Sigma to advance its Six Sigma program in order to meet changing business needs.
Six years into TRW's Six Sigma deployment, a team focused a DMAIC project to determine how the process improvement program could benefit from continuous process improvement.
Voice-of-the-customer interviews with business leaders revealed there were inconsistencies in the strength and performance of the Six Sigma efforts across business units and sites; some businesses had redundant resources and others were lacking resources.
It seemed that the Measure phase would be relatively simple because data on the number of Belts, number of projects and project duration was readily available. All the CTQ metrics looked acceptable when viewed from a companywide perspective.
The primary focus in the Analyze phase was to further understand the differences among business units by comparing attitudinal data from the survey and performance data from the CTQ characteristics.
After considerable analysis comparing attitudes, practices and performance, the team identified a total of 52 improvement actions – 19 related to people, 10 to communication, nine to processes, eight to organizational structure, and six to leadership. For each category, a paired-choice matrix was used to prioritize the actions.
With TRW's Six Sigma program still saving the company multiple millions of dollars annually eight years after the initial deployment, this project was not aimed at salvaging the program from disaster. Rather, it was a recognition of the need for the program to use its own continuous process improvement methods to continually improve itself.

A roundup of trading on major world markets:
NEW YORK - Wall Street is lower, as oil prices slip and weak Chinese data rekindles fears of a global economic slowdown led by the world's second-biggest economy.
China's February trade performance was far worse than economists had expected, with exports tumbling the most in over six years. The report weighed on markets worldwide.
US crude fell nearly three per cent, while Brent was off more than two per cent, as major oil producers sparred over a potential output freeze.
"The data this morning has dampened sentiment more so than anything else at this point in terms of confirming some of the concerns regarding growth in China," said Ryan Larson, head of US equity trading at RBC Global Asset Management in Chicago.
"Equities, at least in the United States, are somewhat taking their cues from oil pulling back slightly," Larson said.
In afternoon trading, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 88.14 points, or 0.52 per cent, at 16,985.81.
The S&P 500 was down 16.79 points, or 0.84 per cent, at 1,984.97. The index was set to snap a five-day streak of gains not seen since October.
The Nasdaq Composite index was down 44.96 points, or 0.95 per cent, at 4,663.30.
LONDON - Britain's top stock market index fell as big mining companies came under pressure after a report showed exports had fallen in China, the world's biggest consumer of metals.
The FTSE 100 index was down 0.9 per cent at 6,125.44 points by its close on Tuesday, in line with the broader European market.
The FTSE is down nearly two per cent since the start of 2016 and 14 per cent below a record high reached in April 2015, as expectations of a slowdown in China weigh on world stock markets.
Chinese exports fell in February by the most in more than six years, data showed on Tuesday, just days after world leaders sought to reassure investors that the outlook for China's economy is solid.
"Global markets have been rattled by the sharp decline in China's exports, which reinforced the lingering concerns over the slowing pace of growth in the world's second-largest economy," FXTM research analyst Lukman Otunuga said.
Mining stocks were particularly weak.
HONG KONG - Global stock markets have fallen after another batch of weak data from China reinforced persistent concerns about a possible slowdown in the global economy.
China's February trade performance was far worse than economists expected, with exports tumbling the most in over six years, days after top leaders sought to reassure investors about the outlook for the world's second-largest economy.
The safe-haven Japanese yen rose while the low-yielding euro gained against the US dollar on Tuesday as the downbeat Chinese trade data fuelled concerns about the state of global demand, weighing on appetite for riskier assets and currencies.
"At the moment we're in a bear stock market. Everyone's looking for an excuse to sell out, and the reason today for a lot of investors is the weak China data," said Andreas Clenow, hedge fund principal and trader at ACIES Asset Management.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan fell nearly a per cent,
The Hang Seng index fell 0.7 per cent, to 20,011.58, while the China Enterprises Index lost 1.4 per cent, to 8505.22 points.
Both the blue-chip CSI300 index and the Shanghai Composite Index erased early losses of more than 2 per cent, and ended the day up 0.1 per cent, at 3,107.67 points and 2,901.39 points, respectively.
WELLINGTON - The S&P/NZX 50 Index advanced 27.8 points, or 0.4 per cent, to 6,446.73.

Kelly Clarkson SNL
January 9, 2012 by staff
Kelly Clarkson SNL, Kelly Clarkson's endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul on Dec. 28 may have helped draw attention to the original "American Idol" champion, but despite multiple reports from other news sites, it did little to help the sales of her "Stronger" album.
According to both Nielsen SoundScan data and sources in the know at Clarkson's label, RCA, little evidence exists to support the theory that Clarkson's praise for Paul helped her sales.
This weekend, Kelly Clarkson returned to "Saturday Night Live" for a third time, bringing with her a flurry of girl power, sequins… and keytars? You bet.

The bartenders and entertainers made everyone feel welcome. Rooms were cleaned every day and were located close to beach. There was a small shopping mall close to the property that you could walk to, pharmacy close by. The food was good with large selection to choose from, with a couple of restaurants that you could make reservation to eat, food was excellent at restaurants. All employees smiled and were very "Happy, Happy". The beach was clean but there were sand fleas everywhere and they were biting everyone causing a lot of problems. Could not go on the beach without getting attacked by sales people on the beach or getting attacked by sand fleas. If you need something talk to Sandy (sales person at beach) she speaks very good English and knows at least 6 different languages, very helpful. Remember she is a trying to make a living with her sales so still "wheel and deal". For water sports talk to Carlos aka "Speedy" at resort he will work with you on prices for water adventures. If you get the opportunity, you need to take Safari but do not do the water falls with the Safari unless you are in very good physical shape. It was fun but dangerous and I would not advise anyone with heart, resp or other physical problems to attempt the water falls, and no children should go on falls. There is a place you can swim at bottom of falls while waiting for others to return from jumping the falls and I suggest you get a life jacket for swimming. This is a very educational Safari and is well worth the money, remember to "wheel and deal" on prices, best person to talk to is Sandy on the beach. There is a lot of things to do at the resort, many games were played such as bingo, darts, dance lessons, karaoke, guess the movie, etc. "Manny" entertainer at resort, makes all these games very fun and enjoyable. All the other guests were very nice, happy, enjoyable to get to know, everyone had a good time while we were there. Security was very good, I did not feel unsafe or uncomfortable at all during my stay. If this is you first time at Puerto Plata,Dominican Republic - I would recommend this resort. You will want to come back.

i really want to thank everyone for their prayers and thoughts when i broke my knee a couple of months ago. well i did it again. this time i did not water ski in my kitchen, i decided to try to water ski in home depot. my family had went out to eat and my 18 year old need to get a birthday gift for one of his friends at his work. he was looking for a roaming gnome. as we left the resturant, it came a down pour, a major downpour. my 16 year old son lets me off at the door, as he says if mom gets wet, she will melt. saw my 18 year old go around the corner to the garden center, and my feet went flying. not only did i re brake my right knee, but chipped my left knee. my dad, who can barely walk himself, told me it is getting where he can't take me anywhere!!!! once again thank goodness for my boys, still had everything they rigged up for me the last time. i am healing ok, especially since i have diabetes. we think the reason i am falling so much lately is that i was diagnosed with ms about 12 years ago. never really had any problens until now. i am really trying not to let that get me down. please remember my dog scooter. we rescued him last novemeber out of the middle of the road. his collar was way too tight. he is part bird dog and part dalmation, or that's what the vet thinks. he came to us at a time in our lives when we needed him. he will be a year old this month. he has survived parvo, when the vet didn't think he would. we tried to find a home for him and we did ours. got all his shots, got him neurted. he is the bomb. he is really an amazing dog. took him to the vet agoin 2 weeks ago because he was throwing up, had x rays done, evidently when he goes outside he becomes a trash hound and swallowed a bone. the vet said he would pass it with no problem, put him on medicine for an inflammed tummy. that was on a monday, then on thursday, he comes in the house. never complains about anything. there is blood on my couch, his righ hind paw is bleeding, not bad until we pick him up and he starts gushing. at that time i knew he had cut an artery. we wrap in a towel and have to drive 1 1/2 hours away to the nearest emergency vet. they don't want to do surgery on him they just want to see if they cant suture the artery together until the next morning and he can see his own vet. finally the bleeding has stopped on it's own, only after saturating my 15 year olds clothers on one side not to mention my passenger van seat. they have it tightly wrapped and we leave that vet's office at 3:00 am. i let him sleep in my bed so i keep an eye on him. no sleep for me. get up at 7 am and rush him to his vets and he had to have surgery to repair the severed artery, but he also had a severed tendon and ligament. we think he did all this damage from a barbed wire fence. he has been the most amazing dog through all this, he did have to have a blood transfusion. he usually goes out for about an hour or two and then comes in the house for a couple of hours. now with this, he has to be leash walked until everything heals. well my dad god love him has alzheimers and forgot that he couldn't go out and let him out. he went over to the neighbor's house and we could not get him to come home. all the neighbor had to do wall call him. we live in a community out in the country, everyone here looks after everyone's dogs. our neighbor told us to use his dogs zip line just hook his harness to it and let him walk or run andhe won't run, since he has been denied his freedom. poor thing probably thinks he is being punished. sorry this is so long, but i have been on the verge of going off the deep end. our other 2 dogs which are also male but they are dauchaunds, one a black and tan mini short hair and the other a wired hair. benn friends since march 08, well in sept. they decided they didn't like each other at all couldn't leave them together at all, had to build special gets in door ways, as we have very wide door opening, had to have both of them neurted, vet said it was a domince issue,. i expected a miracle when i picked them up. it took 3 weeks to get all the testosterone out of their system, now best of friends again!!!!!!! yeah!!!!!!!!!
thanks for listening
I'll keep you in my prayers.
Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. You mentioned that you have MS....I just read about the MS diet..where you treat the illness with nutrition. It was in a recent issue of womans world..you may want to check it out.
hi paula1234, i do hope you recover and stay healthy. you really should be so careful (i know you probably are, but have to say thats, its the mommie in me, hehehe). i don't know your age, but my mother is 65 and i constantly worry about her, she is a tiny lil thing. she is accident prone, hehe. i am sorry you have had to go through so much and your poor dog, what a trooper tho. its amazing how animals become part of the family and he sounds very lucky to have you all. well you take care and hope you two have a speedy recovery. God bless!!

Car Park Wheel Stops
Car park operators think that because they have concrete kerbs in their carparks they do not need wheel stops. In fact, where the kerb is greater than 100mm in height, wheel stops are required to prevent the front skirts of legal height vehicles being damaged on these kerbs. Likewise concrete wheel stops greater than 100mm in height should never be used. Wheel Stops shall not obstruct accessible travel paths for people with disabilities wheel stops are highly visible providing protection to valuable plant and equipment ll wheel stops can be routed with text, for reserved parking or company branding, while the blue colour is idea for disabled parking

Imagine if you were me
It's a Saturday morning, you're feeling pretty dandy after avoiding the pub on the Friday evening. The phone rings, it's two old uni mates speeding towards your house
"Morning Fuckhead, the army is fed & watered and we're in WAAALES!"
"Cool, I'm gonna get breakfast then I'll come and meet you"
Before heading out, you double check you've got the tickets for the match and ensure that your shoes are tied tightly (you'll be unable to do much about that later). You have your breakfast, gathering a few troops of your own and then head out to meet the visitors.
"Hello fuckhead, good to see ya"
"Yeah yeah, come on... the pubs are opening soon"
Your two mates are fully aware that they're being taken to the heart of Welsh rugby, the Millennium stadium, to watch Wales v Argentina, they deliberately wear their cleanest, whitest, England jerseys - thinking it might be a good idea. Many Welsh heads are shaking with disapproval, and that's before we've even got into a pub. Within the first hour, five rounds of drinks have been bought - they're all Guinness.
"What are the village-burners doing here?" Enquires one red supporter, he's joking but he holds a straight face remarkably well. The English lads take it in their stride and are actually quite enjoying the attention they're getting. You make your way into the stadium, more people chuckle at the two white shirts amongst the sea of red - more beers are ordered and the game commences.
Your memory starts to get a little fuzzy, the game is won by Wales, your voice is starting to crack from the singing and shouting, you've been magically transported to a pub about a quarter of a mile away from the stadium. There's a little bit of sick and the magic carpet whisks you on another mile away again. After yet another blackout it's the morning, your burps lead you to believe that you ingested chinese food, jagermeister and a couple of dead hamsters at some point in the evening. Despite the pain, you're up early enough to get 'early-bird' tickets in the cinema, you watch the Bourne Ultimatum, the fast-moving film makes your already hurting head almost explode - but you love it.
You decide to get out of the city and head to the beach. Your mates' jerseys aren't so white any more - the stains of differing colours will be tough to get out, you thank a higher power that your country plays in red.
You set up a tent right by the dunes - the noise of the Atlantic waves crashing against the beach on the other side is more than soothing. The barbeque is fired up and more beers are opened... this is heaven. A nice bit of undercooked meat is followed by a mile walk up to the only pub around, you play pool and actually play surprisingly well considering you couldn't even talk 24hrs previously. After a nice evening, where there was even a gorgeous sunset - you snuggle down in the tent, wedged in between two air-beds (because you thought you didn't need one) occupied my two very smug-looking blokes.
You awake early Monday morning, you're surprisingly comfortable considering the only thing between you and the hard ground is a thin bit of plastic. You doze off again. Five minutes later you wake up with a jump and announce "My feet are getting wet". You now realise why you were so comfortable, there's about two inches of water under the tent - and there's a small stream filling up a puddle which has appeared in the porch area. Shit. You wake the others up, they decide to make a cup of tea - you decide to go for a surf.
It's PISSING down with rain, there's only four other surfers in the water and you're practically skipping down the beach because you're so happy. You paddle out into the waves and through onto the calmer water, where you sit for ten minutes - just soaking up the atmosphere. The rain is lashing down into the sea, it's actually warmer sitting here than standing on the beach, the sky is grey and everything looks so dramatic. One way the sea stretches out to the horizon where it meets the sky, grey on brown doesn't sounds like a nice contrast - but it makes you smile. In the other direction the waves are breaking onto miles of sand, the sand turns into dunes and behind the dunes the hills rise up towards the sky... the best thing about it is that you're just calm. Energised by the scenery and the thought that you could have missed this by being fast asleep, not to get up for another hour to go to work - you go about catching some waves.
After a surf, you run back to the tent to see how the boys are getting on with their cups of tea. The puddle has turned into a lake and there's now a very large amount of water feeding it from the higher ground in the rest of the field.
As keen as you are to stay and miss work, you decide it's better to get back to Cardiff and have a shower. Three of you shiver your way back to your house, and warm yourselves up with more hot drinks and showers. You make it into work for mid-day... a little late, but you don't really care at all. You've just had another amazing weekend.

It appears that the IRS is getting ready to open an investigation into the Clinton Foundation and their dirty dealings. Color me highly skeptical here, just as I was over the FBI looking into Clinton's violations of the Espionage Act and her email scandal. I will say this is unexpected, but I suspect it is diversionary somehow in nature.
With the release of Clinton Cash and the widespread viewing of the movie, this has got to be a major thorn in the side of Clinton. I don't however, think it will be her demise.
From The Federalist Papers Project:
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen referred congressional charges of corrupt Clinton Foundation "pay-to-play" activities to his tax agency's exempt operations office for investigation, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
The request to investigate the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation on charges of "public corruption" was made in a July 15 letter by 64 House Republicans to the IRS, FBI and Federal Trade Commission (FTC). They charged the foundation is "lawless."
The initiative is being led by Rep. Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican who serves as the vice chairwoman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, which oversees FTC. The FTC regulates public charities alongside the IRS.
The lawmakers charged the Clinton Foundation is a "lawless 'pay-to-play' enterprise that has been operating under a cloak of philanthropy for years and should be investigated."
The IRS' July 22nd reply came only a week after the House Republicans contacted the tax agency. It arrived to their offices Monday, the first opening day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
"We have forwarded the information you have submitted to our Exempt Organizations Program in Dallas," Koskinen told Republicans.
The Exempt Organization Program is the division of the IRS that regulates the operations of public foundations and charities. It's the same division that was led by former IRS official Lois Lerner when hundreds of conservative, evangelical and tea party non-profit applicants were illegally targeted and harassed by tax officials. So, believing that they will do anything at all to really expose Clinton and prosecute her is laughable.
The Clinton Foundation is a massively corrupt pay-to-play entity. It is a money-laundering outfit that feeds the Clinton dynasty. It's about as criminal as you can get and for the most part has been untouchable. If the IRS was truly non-partisan, the Clinton Foundation would be nailed and both Hillary and Bill Clinton would be in prison. But, since the IRS is basically an enforcement arm of the Progressives, look for all of this to be sanitized and swept under the White House rug.

Looking For A Freelance Graphic Designer For A Logo & Some Art Work!29-08-2013
تفاصيل الوظيفة
- عمل حر
- المهارات :
- ميزانية العمل : غير متوفر
- سنوات الخبرة : غير متوفر
I have been running a show for the past year called Saba7oKorah and need someone to help me out with Art Work and designs including a logo, facebook cover page, and some graphics for breaks between different sections in the episode (you can see I'm using standard Imovie animations for the current breaks, something I need to change).
You can call it a complete branding job to the show!
Saba7o Korah is a weekly show that talks about football!
Might sound simple but indeed it's not.
The approach of the show is to talk in deep technical and tactical details analyzing football games, while in the same time having some sarcasm and throwing in jokes to keep the general mood of the episode light, fun & entertaining.
I always try to find the light balance between fun & deep technical talks to try and grab audience from the widest range of audience.
My targets are males, usually between the age of 12-45...so Males in general and specifically the ones interested in FOOTBALL!
I would like my Art Work to reflect that aspect of my show...welcoming people to saba7o Korah...for tactics & fun!
The ideas I have in mind is for the logo to have a Caricature of my face embedded in it, with a gesture that I do in the start of each episode.
While for the other Art Work, is to still belong to the Logo 'theme' yet have cartoonish sketches of landmarks of different countries in Europe that I talk about in the Show (Italy/England/Germany/Spain/France etc..)
Please take a couple of minutes to look at the Channel and some episodes on the following link to have a better feel of the show;
In case you are into simple 2D animations, then I might consider doing a brief 5 second anime to work as an intro of the show, something basic and getting its identity from the logo..however i'm still interested in your graphic design even if you're not into animation.
Note that my show was featured twice live on Al Jazeera Sports channel + a number of top Sports websites in the region...so this could also be a great opportunity for your work to grow and find new audience.
Feel free to contact me at anytime...and keep in mind that time is Key as I'm looking forward to launching Season 2 very soon!

Natural gas is the cleanest burning alternative transportation fuel available today that can economically power light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty vehicle applications as well as many non-road applications, such as rail and marine vehicles. Natural gas is a proven alternative fuel that significantly improves local air quality and reduces greenhouse gases (GHG).
Natural Gas as a Transportation Fuel is Growing
More than 35 airports in the U.S. have natural gas vehicles in their own fleets or have policies that encourage use by private fleets operating on premises, making this sector the third largest in vehicular natural gas use.
A few quick facts:
Methane molecule
Environment and Emissions
Environmentally Friendly
Compressed natural gas (CNG) is the cleanest burning transportation fuel on the market today. CNG burns cleaner than petroleum based products because of its lower carbon content.
It produces 20-30% fewer greenhouse gas emissions and 95% fewer tailpipe emissions than petroleum products. And because CNG fuel systems are completely sealed, NGVs using CNG produce no evaporative emissions.
Natural gas contains less carbon than any other fossil fuel and thus produces fewer carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions when burned. While NGVs do emit methane, another principle greenhouse gas (GHG),
the increase in methane emissions is more than offset by a substantial reduction in CO2 emissions. A CNG fueled vehicle emits
20 to 29% fewer GHG emissions than a comparable gasoline or diesel-fueled vehicle on a well-to-wheel basis. For natural gas vehicles that run on bio-methane, the GHG emissions reduction approaches 90%.
The exhaust emissions of natural gas vehicles, when compared to those of gas and diesel vehicles, offer these reductions of common urban pollutants:
• Carbon monoxide (CO) by 70 to 90%
• Non-methane organic gas (NMOG) by 50 to 75%
• Nitrogen oxides (NOx) by 75 to 95%
• Carbon dioxide (CO2) by 20 to 30%
Natural gas vehicles typically cost more than gasoline or diesel vehicles. This is largely due to the cost of high-pressure and insulated fuel tanks, which are necessary
to store CNG. However, the cost of natural gas fuel is now $1.50 to $2.00 less per gallon. The savings in fuel costs can translate into significant savings over the life of a vehicle, depending on fuel efficiency and the number of miles driven. The greatest savings are currently being seen in heavy-duty, high mileage fleets. These vehicles consume enough fuel for owners and operators to see a pay back in as little as 18–24 months. As the price of fuel tanks comes down, light-duty passenger vehicles will become less expensive and also will enjoy a shorter payback period.
CNG is an affordable alternative fuel when compared to gasoline or diesel - it can cut fuel costs by about 50% while delivering the same power and performance. Record U.S. natural gas production and storage levels assure reasonable prices for the foreseeable future.
While the U.S. imports more than 47% of the oil
it uses, 98% of the natural gas used in the U.S. is produced in North America. Every gallon equivalent of natural gas used in vehicles is one less gallon
of petroleum that has to be imported.
CNG does not contain lead, so spark plug life
is extended because there is no fouling. CNG does not dilute or contaminate crankcase oil,
so intervals between oil changes and tune-ups are longer. This reduces maintenance costs while extending the overall life of the engine.
In the past 5 years, shale reservoirs revealed natural gas deposits that doubled previous estimated U.S. gas reserves, giving us close to a 100-year supply. Supply is growing as new technology allows us to produce from large reserves that were too difficult to access until recently. Many experts agree that global oil production has peaked,
even though demand still rises. Because
of its growing abundance, domestic natural gas will play a major role in meeting our 21st-century energy needs.
There are at least 22 shale basins located onshore in more than 20 states in the U.S., including Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Michigan, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas,
West Virginia, and Wyoming.
New technologies have allowed the rapid emergence of gas-producing shale as a major energy source, representing a truly transformative event for U.S. energy
supplies. American producers can supply enough natural gas to meet today's uses
and become an economical source of transportation fuel.
Natural gas vehicles (NGVs) are our best
answer for reducing dependence on foreign oil and increasing domestic energy and national security. Almost all of the natural gas we use (98%) comes from North America. Conversely, 60% of the oil we use is imported. We pay approximately $1.25 billion a day for foreign oil, adding to our trade deficit and weakening the dollar.
By using domestic natural gas, we strengthen both our nation's economy and energy security – keeping jobs and revenues at home.

Since August 14, a 100km long traffic jam on the Beijing-Tibet Expressway has lasted nine days ( 京藏高速拥堵9天 ). Hundreds of vehicles, mostly lorries carrying coal were stuck, waiting anxiously to head for Beijing. Around 400 police officers were at the scene 24 hours a day.
Drivers have started to play chess and cards. It was also reported that some drivers were even robbed or forced to buy food during the traffic jam. While some people were glad that the nearby service zone and the local vendors were helping with the food, others were complaining about the overcharging of food and drink. Some said that the expressway had turned into an "expensive restaurant".
Under a temperature of over 30 degrees Celsius, it cost 2 RMB to buy a glass of hot water and a box lunch cost 10 RMB. (1 U.S. dollar = 6.8 RMB) For instant noodles, the price was between 10 to 15 RMB. It even cost 2 RMB to buy an egg, while in the market one could buy 7 or 8 eggs for the same amount.
Three reasons were believed to contribute to this long traffic jam. First of all, since the beginning of this year, traffic flow around the capital has increased tremendously by 48%. Secondly, big scale roadworks and breakdowns have been going about on the "110 National Road" due to heavy loads and increasing vehicles. Moreover, self-drive traveling has been increasing since the beginning of this summer which escalated the pressure of traffic.
From Monday this week, the situation has slowly improved. According to a traffic scheme from the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau on August 23, the two-way 110 National Road will convert into a one-way road specially for the use of vehicles entering Beijing between 11:00pm and 4:00am every day. Leaflets about suggestions for drivers will be distributed in the toll booths and service zones.
Experts claim that the traffic jam around Beijing will become an extreme situation in year 2015 if the amount of vehicles keeps increasing in this speed. Therefore government officials are encouraged to take the city's infrastructure, for instance buses, to work as examples to all Beijing citizens.

A traditional way of opening sparkling wine – just as Cav puts the others to the sword!
Yet another stunning victory for Mark Cavendish on the final stage of the 2010 Tour de France as he roared up the Champs de l'Elysée leaving the opposition behind for dust. Cavendish – often known as the Manx Missile as he comes from the Isle of Man – added another five stage victories this year taking his overall tally to 15. Cavendish's emphatic victories in Bordeaux and Paris were achieved without his customary lead-out man, Mark Renshaw, who was thrown out of the Tour for head-butting another rider while travelling at around 60 km/h heading for the line, so helping Mark to win No. 3.
This brings him level with the great Belgian sprinter, Freddy Maertens, who incidentally was and presumably still is a considerable amateur of the wines of Bordeaux. Maertens and Cavendish now tie for 12th place in the list of all time stage winners. Eddy Merckx heads this list with 34 victories. Like Cavendish, Maertens achieved his 15 victories in just three editions of the Tour winning a remarkable eight stages in 1976. As Cavendish is just 25 and on current form, assuming that he doesn't get seriously injured – always an occupational hazard for a sprint cyclist – then it may not be too far fetched to imagine Cavendish doubling his tally to 30 or more in the seasons to come. After all Petacchi, the veteran Italian sprinter who won the Green Jersey this year, is 36 years old.
In a couple of earlier posts during this year's Tour I rather dodged the issue of matching Mark Cavendish with a suitable wine. Yesterday's explosive surge up the Champs de l'Elysée has brought clarity. It has to be Cuvée Merret-Bloomsbury from Ridgeview, a leading producer of English sparkling wine. This cuvée is named after Christopher Merret, who may well have been the true inventor of sparkling wine back in the mid-1700s. I'm aware that the méthode ancestrale existed before this time but this is a little different to a wine that has undergone a secondary fermentation in bottle. Also the pressure is higher.
Merret presented a paper in 1662 to The Royal Society about adding sugar and molasses to wines of all sorts to make them sparkling. This is some 30 years before Dom Pérignon was doing his level best to keep the wines of Champagne still rather than sparkling.
So it would appear that the secret of making sparkling wine, which has over the centuries enriched the economy of the Champagne region, actually was a gift from north of La Manche! Admittedly some of the still wines Merret used to transform into sparkling were imported from Champagne. At that time France apparently did not have the technology to produce bottles that were sufficiently strong to withstand the pressure produced by a secondary fermentation in bottle.
After a decidedly flat start to this year's Tour, Mark Cavendish found some sparkling form. He is just one more stage win behind equalling the legendary five times Tour winner, Jacques Anquetil's 16 stage wins.
Cheers Mark – bien Merreté!

Question: The chancellor of a state university is applying for a
The chancellor of a state university is applying for a new position. At a certain point in his application process, he is being considered by seven universities. At three of the seven he is a finalist, which means that (at each of the three universities) he is in the final group of three applicants, one of which will be chosen for the position. At two of the seven universities he is a semifinalist, that is, one of six candidates (in each of the two universities). In two universities he is at an early stage of his application and believes there is a pool of about 20 candidates for each of the two positions. Assuming that there is no exchange of information, or influence, across universities as to their hiring decisions, and that the chancellor is as likely to be chosen as any other applicant, what is the chancellor's probability of getting at least one job offer?

"Eye condition brought up to date."
About: Royal Bolton Hospital Royal Bolton Hospital Bolton BL4 0JR
Posted by Anonymous
I have Macular degeneration (wet) and after two of the course of three injections, I woke one morning and my sight had deteriorated over night.
Although I mentioned this to nurses & doctors since it was not until I saw the doctor today Sunday, 6th September that they explained what had occurred bringing me up to date with my condition and treatment.
The Sunday clinic was quieter and enabled the staff to take more time with each patient which made things more relaxing for all.
Losing ones sight can be very stressful and sometimes at week day clinics the staff do not always have time to inform the patient of Societies which can give them assistance and aid.
Response from Royal Bolton Hospital nearly 2 years ago

We're sorry! This product is not available.
Description & Features+
"Monster House": Even for a 12-year-old, D.J. Walkers has a particularly overactive imagination. He is convinced that his haggard and crabby neighbor Horace Nebbercracker, who terrorizes all the neighborhood kids, is responsible for Mrs. Nebbercracker's mysterious disappearance. Any toy that touches Nebbercracker's property promptly disappears, swallowed up by the cavernous house in which Horace lives. D.J. has seen it with his own eyes! But no one believes him, not even his best friend Chowder. What everyone does not know is that D.J. is not imagining things. Everything he's seen is absolutely true and it's about to get much worse than anything D.J. could have imagined. "Ghostbusters": Suit up for classic comedy! When Doctors Venkman (Bill Murray), Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) and Spengler (Harold Ramis) suddenly find themselves downsized from the University's parapsychology department, they decide to go the entrepreneurial route, chasing down ghastly ghosts, unappetizing apparitions and the occasional insolent succubae. But the paratroopers of the paranormal face their greatest challenge when the beautiful Dana Barret (Sigourney Weaver) discovers her refrigerator door leads directly to the gates of hell! Now with the whole world watching, it's up to the Ghostbusters to keep Manhattan from becoming a madhouse in this hilariously-haunting action-comedy.

If you're sick with viral symptoms, try to avoid exposing others. Follow good hygiene. Regular hand-washing can help prevent spreading illness. Avoid risky behaviors. To reduce your chances of getting an HIV-related myocardial infection, practice safe sex and don't use illegal drugs. Minimize exposure to ticks. If you spend time in tick-infested areas, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants to cover as much of your skin as possible. Apply tick or insect repellents that contain DEET. Get your vaccines.

Staying here for an event in Christiansburg and this is probably the least soundproof hotel I have stayed in. I can literally hear conversations through the wall and the people walking overhead. Disappointed the price was increased because of the event and I probably will not stay at another Holiday Inn again because of this practice.
Otherwise, room was clean, bed was comfortable, and breakfast was good.

I'm 22 and am what I would consider a bit of a late bloomer. I've gotten a little experience over college, but not much. Now that I'm finished school, the people I'm around never see me with girls or hear me talking about girls. I've never had a girlfriend. I'm shy around the girls at work and am nice, but not very sociable with them. I also have that sort of look (I've been told by some of my esteemed roommate buddies) that hints gayness. Would a lot of girls think I'm gay, as this could pose a problem for me.
(PS. Obviously, I have nothing against gays blah blah blah, I have a few gay friends/acquaintances etc etc. just to clear that up :)
Most Helpful Girl
Hmm, well... I don't think you should worry about that, they just probably think that you are shy... but if you want to change that you should probably start socializing with the girls around you, I mean you don't need to pretend to be someone you're not... or pretend that you are really cool (which I'm sure you are) but what I mean is that we can see when a guy is just trying to impress us by acting 'cool', it's just awkward, so it'll be safer to stick with your true personality... it doesn't matter if you are shy or not... some girls go for the shy guys, anyway... there's just something mysterious about them! ha ha :) hope this helps, if not, just tell me I'll try to think of something else...00|00|0

Kyrie Irving has had a busy 2017. Just this past month, he requested a trade away from the three-time defending Eastern Conference champions. Since, he reportedly won't talk to anyone from the Cavaliers organization, and hasn't exactly put himself on good terms with the people of Cleveland.
But all the July craziness has made us forget how Kyrie Irving started off the year: By suggesting, with apparent sincerity, that the Earth is flat. Yeah, remember that?
Irving doubled down on the theory too, despite it being flat-out wrong. The stupidest NBA story of the calendar year worked itself into such a frenzy that even NBA commissioner Adam Silver was asked about it. The internet could not get enough of it.
And yet, while we laughed about Irving's belief at the time, there's a serious side to the story too. Irving is a public figure — one whom a lot of young kids look up to — and he was publicizing pseudoscience, lending apparent credibility to something that deserves absolutely nothing of the sort.
And there are consequences to that. Real, harmful, frightening consequences. From an NPR story on "the ongoing battle between science teachers and fake news":
As hard as they try, science teachers aren't likely to change a student's misconceptions just by correcting them.
[Middle school teacher Nick] Gurol says his students got the idea of a flat planet from basketball star Kyrie Irving, who said as much on a podcast.
"And immediately I start to panic. How have I failed these kids so badly they think the Earth is flat just because a basketball player says it?" He says he tried reasoning with the students and showed them a video. Nothing worked.
"They think that I'm part of this larger conspiracy of being a round-Earther. That's definitely hard for me because it feels like science isn't real to them."
The circus surrounding the Irving story probably didn't help. Irving's fellow NBA players didn't unequivocally deny his theory — they had fun with it too. Others, like Shaquille O'Neal, joked that they agreed with Kyrie, except that nobody knew it was a joke until O'Neal later clarified.
That Irving's belief is influencing grade school students is honestly kind of scary, especially in a time when pseudoscience and fake narratives have frequently been disseminated by American politicians and have heavily influenced elections and the nation's governance.
Gurol's class, the one mentioned in the NPR story, probably isn't unique either. His students can't be the only ones who have developed similar theories thanks to Irving. The NBA flat Earth stories were fun in the moment; not so much anymore.
