Green Light on State Street
State Street's (STT) recent bull run has pushed shares to an important level. The stock has been on a tear of late and is now within one dollar of its 2011 peak. STT began this year with a gap-higher open that lifted the stock well above 2012 highs. This bullish action extended a healthy 2% move on New Year's Eve. The stock is now up more than 7% since then and is becoming overbought as the $50 level nears.State Street (STT) Source: TradeStation View Chart » View in New Window »
After rising off last summer's healthy base, STT began a much-needed pullback in mid-September. Shares retraced roughly 50% of the August rally before an earning's inspired breakout sparked a fresh rally leg. The mid-October surge eventually carried the stock up to the heavy supply area that had previously held the March/May double-top. STT hit this level, just above $47, in mid-December before fading as the month closed. A big move on Dec. 31 ended the short-term weakness, setting the stage for a move to new highs....172 more words left in this article.

Hurricanes recall Brett Sutter from Charlotte
Posted January 2, 2014
Hours before the start of a two-game road trip, the Carolina Hurricanes announced on Thursday morning that they have recalled forward Brett Sutter from the Charlotte Checkers on an emergency basis.
Sutter will join the team in Washington, D.C., Thursday for a 7 p.m. contest with the Washington Capitals.
Sutter, 26, has appeared in 12 games for the Hurricanes this season. After being assigned to the Checkers in November, he has scored two goals and tallied 12 assists in 22 games.
Following Thursday's visit to Washington, the Hurricanes will visit New York on Saturday for a game against the Islanders. The team returns to Raleigh on Sunday for a game against the Nashville Predators.

Gose enjoys stellar return against Royals
KANSAS CITY -- Anthony Gose doesn't know what his sudden promotion to the Blue Jays from Triple-A Buffalo will mean over the long haul. But for now, Gose is just glad that he has at least temporarily escaped the cold Buffalo weather and gets another opportunity to make an impression at the Major League level.
With Melky Cabrera nursing a left knee contusion after being struck by a Danny Duffy pitch on Wednesday, Gose gives manager John Gibbons some flexibility with his outfield personnel. Gose was in the lineup on Thursday in left field and batting ninth against the Royals.
It was an impressive first night back for Gose, who went 2-for-4 with a two-run double in the Blue Jays' 7-3 win. Gose also showed excellent range in left field and threw out Eric Hosmer trying to score from second on a single in the third inning.
Gose was hitting .235 at Buffalo with a .350 on-base percentage thanks to 12 walks. He also had four steals. In 2012, Gose hit .223 for the Blue Jays in 56 games. Last year, he appeared in 52 games for Toronto and hit .259.
Because of previous stints with the Blue Jays, Gose is hopeful he can draw on that experience whenever he sees his name in the lineup.
"I've learned a lot, especially offensively," Gose said. "I don't know if this time is any different than last time, because I don't know what this time is. If you have a hole in your swing up here, the pitchers are going to expose it. You better figure it out soon or else you're going to be back down freezing in Buffalo."
Gibbons said that with Gose or any other player, the ability to stick in the Majors simply comes down to producing in a timely manner.
"There has to be an opportunity and when you get it, you have to take advantage of it," Gibbons said. "We've got our three guys in the outfield, but [Gose] could fit in as the fourth guy. We know he's good on the bases and can play some defense. But it's all about production. That's why it's so hard to make it in the big leagues and stay for any length of time."

Have you ever done a triathlon or considered it? If no, any hybrid race? And what is on tap today?
Triathlon Tuesdaily
No, I'm a runner.
7M interval cutdown.
QOTD: I've always wanted to do one. Especially one with a longer swimming portion - that's where I'd make up ground, even if I lose it on the bike.
what is this?
QOTD - I've never run a triathlon nor any hybrid race or obstacle or whatever races. I mountain bike quite a bit, I was a HS swimmer back in the day, and I run a little so maybe one day I might do whatever is the shortest distance tri just to confirm my total non-interest in the "sport". Finding and driving to a pool to train? Wetsuits? Getting all that equipment in order and staged? Nah, feck that! I'll just put on my shoes and go run.
WOTD - 8 at lunch.
R2TH, I was going to start the same topic. Fine choice....
QOTD: Never have and probably never will. I used to be a pretty avid cyclist, so I considered participating Ina duathlon. Not too many of those out there. They do a bunch of sprint triathlons at Castaic lake near me. I've watch friends race in them and that has just reinforced my lack of desire to take part. A big part of why I like running is its simplicity. That's certainly not true of tris.
WOTD: Not sure yet. Probably something that resembles intervals.
DAILY: 2.70 easy miles later. I have marathons scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday so an easy day today is in order.
WOYD: 9.10 miles including a super aggressive 6.50 miles @ 7:10/mile. Pushed myself way harder than I dared push in the heat of the Pasadena Half Marathon the prior day.
QOTD: Haven't done one, but have been actively training for one (not registered for anyone in particular). More so doing it as a bucket list type thing, not something to actively pursue after doing one.
WOTD: 45 min bike + 4-6 mile run.
QOTD: No triathlons for me. Not a swimmer. And somehow I always seem to get injured on bike rides (so haven't been on one in years.) However, I'd like to do a team triathlon with my brother handling the bike portion and one of my sisters doing the swim. Then all I have to do is run! I think it would be fun.
WOTD: 4 miles
what is this?
Essentially this. Except I end it with 4 x 200m instead of just 1. My running has been atrocious since November so I'm trying to ease back in to quality running while establishing consistency and moderate mileage. Nothing too taxing.
HC - thanks for the link. Hopefully you will get out of your rut.
Carpe - I never responded to your Q on the weekly. I did not do any scuba dives on the Big Island, just snorkeling. However I had some very good sessions, including a couple where I saw a large spotted eagle ray, and one with a very big Jack. The best one was the night snorkeling trip to see the manta rays - all the family did it (including 7 and 9 yo) and we had a blast, with some very close encounters.
QOTD - until last week I would have replied no and no, citing the same reasons Duck and Ken mentioned. Now having run the Kona marathon last week, I am itching to sign up for one. I got a bike a few months ago to go along my 9 yo kid and I can swim, and eyeing the Malibu Nautica Triathlon in 8 weeks. That doesn't leave much time to train on the bike/swim but I am just waiting a few days to see if this is a fad...
WOTD - 4@8:35 on flat road. First run since Kona and all systems go.
Maybe some swimming or biking later.
WOYD - 10M bike ride (42:35).
QOTD: No.
HC: I like that workout. Bless McMillan for providing a lot of mostly free information for us, but I can't help but be annoyed at his use of the word "repeat" for something that only happens once.
I know, right!?!?! When I first read it I cringed every time I saw it. I totally forgot about it the past few weeks and all of the sudden it popped into my head halfway through the "repeats" this morning.
QOTD: nope
WOTD: 8xhalf-mile w/2min rec, starting @ half pace cutting down to 5K pace.
QOTD: No, never done one and unlikely to at this time in my life. I sold my bike years ago, and only swim infrequently.
WOTD: 6.5 hilly miles with 6x1min hard hill intervals, 6:10 - 6:30 pace.
R2TH - Sounds like fun, I was hoping to make it to the Big Island myself sometime this year.
QOTD: No but a duathlon is not out of the question.
WOTD: TRX class later today.
QOTD - I can barely swim and haven't ridden a bike since I was a boy in grade school. So me doing a Tri? As Spock would say, "Highly Improbable."
WOTD - 4 miles
QOTD: No, I've never done one, but hope to get into it after accomplishing some running goals. DH used to do TRI's before focusing on just cycling and running. I know I can learn a lot from him.
WOSun: Hot & humid 20mi
WOTD: 6mi in the boredmill.
Still debating whether to run the July 4th 15K. This heat is just too much.
QOTD- I'm a terribly slow swimmer. I have no interest in swimming for distance. As for biking.. maybe. I have no interest in triathlons though.
Today- 6-7mi with 5x800m with the run club
QOTD: Haven't done any yet. I will someday, but will likely run a 100 miler first. An Ironman is on the bucket list, but fairly sure I'll be a one and done for IM (just doing some training tri races leading up to it). Not on the soon list - just too much nonsense with the wetsuit and ridiculous bike gear - though I can probably borrow much of what I need. I also have a phobia of swimming in open bodies of water (I can swim, it's more I don't like my feet touching the bottom/ potential ick), but am sure I can overcome that with time (I once was trail running phobic due to dirt phobia). I was practicing my swimming technique last night though (in a pool!).
WOTD: abs/legs weights class with some treadmill miles (because running in 110 degree temps outside would be even worse than having to swim in an open body of water).
QOTD: I've fantasied about doing a triathlon in the past, but every time I get in the pool I'm reminded that I can't swim worth beans.
WOTD: 5 easy miles to get back into it.
WOTD: 8 (mostly) before sun-up
4 hilly miles today.
I did one of the first triathlons back in the day when the sport was just getting started - back in the late 70's here in San Diego at Mission Bay it was called "Chuck's Triathlon" hosted by Chuck's Steak House. This was the birthplace of triathlon. The format was - Run 10k (flat around Fiesta island), Bike 20k (about 3 laps around the island) then swim 2000 meters (1.2 miles) in the bay around what we called 'enchanted island'. I was in my early 20's and didn't know any better. I started out the 10k and ran 36 min and was in about 4th place , then dropped back to about 25th after the bike legs (I was never much of a biker). Came back in the swim (yes the swim was the last leg) and picked up a few places and finished 23rd overall. My swim was 33:48 for the 2k. Remember having some bad leg cramps during the swim. At least the bay water was warm and I didn't need any wetsuit.
I did the Bud Lights Series a couple years in my 30's when they had them at Solana Beach and Encinitas. can't recall my times or the results but the format was the more traditonal and less-insane swim-bike-run.
fitnessman: Geesh, swim-bike-run is a great recipe for drowning!
fitnessman: Geesh, swim-bike-run is a great recipe for drowning!
lol, of course I meant run-bike-swim....

Hello there Pali forum, nice to meet you.
I've noticed as I've listened to a variety of talks/chanting ect by various monks, I couldn't help but notice that there seems to be a lot of variety in the ways they pronounce it, even among monks of the same nationality and tradition. I'm curious as to if there is a certain sort of Pali taught to monastics, or if it is a case of meaning and understanding being stressed over pronunciation. I'm also aware of the fact that the pronunciation in some cases is simplified to make it more comfortable for speakers of languages which don't have corresponding sounds, Thai Pali chanting for example.
I'm not asking for pronunciation instructions, I'm just generally curious about how Pali is handled as a whole in the Buddhist community, if at all. I realize this isn't -that- relevant to Dhamma, but I take an interest in linguistics and would find it interesting to know. I'm sort of assuming they just don't care since it really doesn't make a difference to their practice, but I don't want to make that assumption.

I have two questions about the Packet-based Digital Link Example which is listed in https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-18801.
I. Why do we need to send the data a second time?
II. Is there a way to see which packet is being sent right now? I have no idea how to get that information out of a queue or the cluster data.
04-24-2012 07:18 AM - edited 04-24-2012 07:21 AM
Sorry, I can't edit my thread, so here is another question relating to the Packet-based Digital Link Example.
These are my modifications:
1. The while-loop for enqueueing an element stops after all message packets are in the queue.
2. The other while-loop stops when there are no more data inside the queue (variable 'End counter').
3. The carrier frequency is incremented with every loop iteration.
4. The message text is longer, but that does'nt matter.
This vi only work for a Tx IQ Sampling Rate [s/sec] of maximum 200k.
My problem is that the vi sometimes works, sometimes not. If you run the vi a couple times, you can see what I mean. Everytime it isn't working, the following error message appears.
niUSRP Write Tx Data (CDB Cluster).vi<ERR>Underflow: the Tx buffer was emptied before new data was provided. Consider reducing the IQ rate, increasing the Write rate, or increasing the number of samples per Write.
My goal is to send every packet only one time and to see how much packets the receiver USRP receives correctly.
04-24-2012 01:48 PM - edited 04-24-2012 01:49 PM
Hey YYY,
Just one thing I noticed as I started putting various indicators in your VI and the original Packet TX VI is that the original always keeps 10 elements in the queue. With yours, even when I go onto the debugging tab and increase the queue length, I still see the queue fill up once and then go back down to zero. I removed the portion of the code that stops the enqueueing loop and still see this. I haven't looked at all the other changes you made yet, but that seems to indicate there is a problem with the rate that the data is being supplied to the queue. Also, you seem to have edited the subGeneratePackets.vi, would you mind posting your updated copy?
I'll be looking into this more, just wanted to give you an update on what I think the likely cause is based on what I am seeing at the moment.
04-25-2012 07:30 AM - edited 04-25-2012 07:32 AM
Hi Sarah,
to prevent any mistakes of subVI-modifications I have decided to download the example again and start over and it works.
These are my modifications:
1. The while-loop for enqueueing an element stops after all message packets are in the queue.
2. I'm using the False-case to see how many packets were sent.
3. With deenqueueing an element the carrier frequency is incremented by 1MHz
Now the vi only also sometimes work for a Tx IQ Sampling Rate [s/sec] of 500k.
When I deactivate the frequency incrementation to see how many packets the receiver gets, the receiver receives maximum 22 of 46 packets by packet repeat = 2. I have to increment the packet repeat to receive more packets. What are the reasons for this problem? I tought it should be possible to receive everything correct by sending each packet only once.
It looks like nobody can help me. So I will explain it again. I guess the frequency incrementation is irritating. So I removed the incrementation. These modifications remain:
a.) The while-loop for enqueueing an element stops after all message packets are in the queue.
b.) I'm using the False-case to see how many packets were sent. This is possible when the queue length = 1.
I'm doing this to see how many packets can be received when they were sent only once. The receiver receives maximum 22 of 46 packets by packet repeat = 2. I have to increment the packet repeat to receive more packets. What are the reasons for this problem? I tought it should be possible to receive everything correct by sending each packet only once.
Hello YYYs,
We were actually talking about this problem last week. I have a strong feeling that only part of the packet is being received.
Take a look at the time domain signal that the receiver is placing into the shift register, you may find that only part of the signal is being captured.
I changed my last vi a little bit. I found a mistake. The transmitter sent actually only 45 of 46 packets. I simplified my modifications. These modifications remain:
a.) The transmitter stops after sending all packets once. To make sure that the loop will be left after sending the last packet I used another "or comparison". Otherwise the loop will be left immediately after the Number of Packets in Message and Packets send comparison is true. In that case 46 packets were dequeued, but only 45 were sent.
Now the transmitter really sends 46 packets. With Tx IQ Sampling Rate [s/sec] = 1M and packet repeat = 1 the receiver is also able to receive 46 packets. But this works only once in 20 tries. With Tx IQ Sampling Rate [s/sec] = 500k I was able to receive 43 packets.
I hope you can help me further.
I would be very thankful if somebody could explain me why it is not possible to receive all packets by sending them only once.
Hello YYYs,
I have been able to receive all packets successfully with just one transmit if I adjust the Acquisition Duration control in the RX Parameter tab to a lower value such as 20 mS or 10 mS.
Since the USRP does not have a large onboard buffer, it is necessary to call the Fetch RX Data VI as quick as possible to avoid losing any part of the data stream. Because the demodulation, resampling, and reordering all happen in the same loop as the Fetch RX Data VI, it is prone to losing parts of the data stream as these functions take some time to complete. You can notice this delay if you set a large Acquisition Duration such as 1 second.
A better method would be to implement a producer consumer architecture so that the data retrieved from the USRP is not disturbed by the processing functions. I believe also that the resampling and demodulation VIs that were written for this example work better on smaller acquisitions.
Try running the original receiver VI with a lower acquisition duration and post your findings back here.
Hello Anthony,
thank you for your answer. Especially the information about Fetch RX Data. How big is the onboard buffer?
I have tried to change the acquisition duration, but there were no improvements. Have you used the USRP Packet Tranmitter_mod_4_1.vi from my previous post? How are the Tx Parameters?

Billy McNair, the owner of 1976 Menalto Ave., a lot in the Willows neighborhood, applied in May to build a duplex consisting of two single-family, two-story homes separated by a parking court. He asked for a use permit with variances because of the lot's size and layout, as well as permission to remove three heritage trees.
In November, after holding a study session earlier last fall, the Planning Commission approved the permit and city staff signed off on removing the trees. Those opposed to the project promptly appealed to the council to reverse the approvals. The applicant also appealed to the council after the Environmental Quality Commission, which handles appeals of heritage tree removals, upheld removing two trees, but declined to allow the third, a magnolia tree in good health, to be cut down.
Although at least one neighbor emailed the council to support the project, 22 others opposed it. As presented at the Feb. 13 council meeting, their concerns included where parking for the duplex would go, but focused on the fate of the heritage trees at 1976 Menalto Ave. as well as an oak tree next door whose roots stretch across property lines.
In his rebuttal, Mr. McNair said, "We've looked at countless alternatives, none of them are viable, and they also don't meet the direction we were given by the Planning Commission, on which we relied on when designing the project." He pointed out that the lot's substandard size and odd shape means building even a single-family home — such as the one currently on the lot — requires variances.
As for the trees on the property, Mr. McNair said "no reasonable and feasible alternatives" would allow preservation of all three, while efforts could be made to guard the roots of the oak tree next door during construction.
Kirsten Keith, who served as a planning commissioner before being elected to council, said she respected the Planning Commission's work, but felt uncomfortable with their decision.
"I think it's tough because you've got 22 neighbors" who dislike the plan, some of whom had lived there for 36 years with those trees, she said. Ms. Keith, using the Matteson development at 389 El Camino Real as an example of productive collaboration between residents and developers, suggested Mr. McNair return to the drawing board.
Before casting the dissenting vote, Mayor Peter Ohtaki said that given the Planning Commission's and city staff's input, he respected their expertise and thought that changing the decision now created doubt for other applicants of what they can expect when they develop a project in Menlo Park.
Vice Mayor Ray Mueller commented that it went against the character of the neighborhood to pack two residences onto a tiny lot.

Yanks trade with Sox for first time since 1997
It takes a specific set of circumstances for the Yankees and Red Sox to pursue a trade together, something that the American League East blood rivals haven't dared to do since 1997.
As the most marketable pieces of the Red Sox were shipped away on Thursday, their clock rolling ahead to 2015 with Jon Lester, John Lackey and Andrew Miller leaving town, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman wondered if he could get in on the action.
Swapping text messages on Thursday afternoon with Red Sox counterpart Ben Cherington, the clubs quickly hammered out the terms of a deal: infielder Stephen Drew and $500,000 would go to the Yankees in exchange for infielder Kelly Johnson. New York will be responsible for the remainder of Drew's salary, approximately $5 million.
"The Drew stuff happened today," Cashman said. "I threw an idea Boston's way when they started moving and shaking as much as they were. Once they declared themselves the way they did, I floated a text Ben Cherington's way and we worked really quickly off of that."
Cherington said that the Yankees were not the first team to inquire about Drew, but the timing was right.
"We had talked to a handful of teams about Drew -- teams we thought that might be in need of a shortstop -- and it just so happened the Yankees were the team that fit and it fit for them," Cherington said. "It sounds like he might play a little bit more second base there than short, but we just worked it out today. That one happened obviously late and was the last thing we did."
The Yankees and the Red Sox had not completed a trade since Aug. 13, 1997, when New York re-acquired catcher Mike Stanley and infielder Randy Brown in exchange for pitcher Tony Armas Jr. and a player to be named later (pitcher Jim Mecir). The Red Sox later flipped Armas to the Expos as part of the Pedro Martinez deal.
Because the Red Sox are looking ahead to next season, the history between the clubs did not raise any red flags for Cherington, who said that he hopes Drew will play well in pinstripes.
"No, given the circumstances -- look, we hope it helps them," Cherington said. "I like Stephen, we all like Stephen. He's a good player. It hasn't worked out the way any of us wanted it to, certainly the way I wanted it to. Hope it works out for him there. The Yankee thing wasn't an issue in that particular conversation."
The clubs, partners in the legendary Dec. 1919 sale of Babe Ruth, have made just two other deals since George M. Steinbrenner's 1973 purchase of the team. In March 1986, the Yankees traded outfielder Don Baylor to Boston for outfielder Mike Easler, and in Sept. 1994, the Yankees purchased reliever Scott Bankhead from the Sox.
"One of our two teams has to be in a playoff mode, and the other -- in my opinion -- has to be rebuilding to some degree. That's obviously what happened on the last one that our franchises did," Cashman said. "There's a great deal of respect between the Red Sox and Yankees, both of our sides. It's an amazing rivalry, but [we're] certainly very careful when we do business with each other. That's an obvious statement."

True leadership means doing that which is right, though it may not be popular.
On Tuesday, June 20, members of the Henry County Fiscal Court missed a prime opportunity to display true leadership.
At issue was whether or not the court would remove Roger Hartlage from the Henry County Planning and Zoning Commission. In April, Hartlage and the other members of SBH Properties received a notice of violation from the state that charged the group with having improper fill material on its property.

Launceston General Hospital has been closed following the discovery of a potentially lethal bacteria that causes Legionnaire's Disease.
Patients are being moved to other hospitals after legionella was found during "routine water quality surveillance".
The hospiotal is expected to be closed for four weeks, however there are no reports of anyone becoming infected.
Peninsula Community Healthsaid: "On Friday, February 15, as part of our routine water quality surveillance, we were made aware that legionella bacteria was present in two locations at Launceston General Hospital.
"This posed a minimal risk to patients and staff and immediate action was taken to ensure patient and staff safety in line with our risk management strategy and legionella policy. There has not been any breach of local policy or legal duties and obligations.
"To allow a robust disinfection of the water system and a major refurbishment of the heating and water system we have taken the decision temporarily close Launceston Hospital for four weeks. This will allow planned maintenance to the plumbing and heating system costing over £100,000, followed by the disinfection the whole system using a high concentration of chlorine which will be flushed through the whole water system.
"The hospital will reopen once this work is complete and we have a confirmed clear water quality reading following further testing ensuring ongoing patient and staff safety.
Chief Executive Kevin Baber said: "I would like to reassure patients and staff that we have taken this decisive action to ensure public safety. Whilst we acknowledge the short term disruption, we are confident that closing Launceston General Hospital for a short period of time will allow us to resolve the situation going forwards. I would like to thank the patients, families and staff involved for their cooperation and support."
The Launceston Minor Injuries Unit (MIU) will be closed from 5pm today (Monday 18 February 2013) and patients are advised to attend alternative MIUs at Liskeard and Stratton Community Hospitals.
Carol Williams, director of nursing for the primary care trust, said: "Our immediate priority is to support Peninsula Community Health in the safe transfer of the small number of in-patients at Launceston in to other appropriate care setting where their needs can continue to be met. Staff have talked with families and patients and we will are working with Peninsula Community Health to ensure they have taken all possible measures to ensure public safety.
"Remedial work will be starting imminently and we will support the reopening of Launceston Hospital once this is complete and it is safe to do so."

PLANNING can be about striking a delicate balance in Mill Valley.
Many residents, new and old, have made their homes in town because they like Mill Valley just the way it is. Many of their neighbors, new and old, moved to town for the same reason, but they don't mind changes.
Most of the time those changes mean replacing an old home with a larger one or adding a room or two to accommodate a growing family.
In fact, Mill Valley has had a history of letting homeowners add a room or two so they stay in their houses without having to move. That's not always easy to accomplish.
It takes a balance of interests, opinions and, sometimes, egos.
So Mill Valley's current dustup on its planning commission is not surprising.
Councilwoman Stephanie Moulton-Peters summed up the political dilemma over planning: "We want what we want."
Finding and maintaining a consensus "we" is the challenge. It is a challenge because it changes, just as the town's population changes with time.
The latest challenge was raised by city Planning Commissioner David Rand, who rose at a City Council meeting to complain about a disconnect between the city's planning staff and commissioners. He said city staff was rubber-stamping building projects while commissioners had problems with the plans.
This "dysfunction," he said, led applicants to mistakenly think they had clear sailing through the city planning process.
Rand said that of 21 home projects endorsed by staff last year, commissioners approved only eight.
Staff and the commission are not on the same page, he said.
Commissioners are appointed by the council and city planning staff is supposed to reflect standards, goals and objectives set by the council in the city's planning rules and laws.
If those rules are clear and truly reflect local consensus, planning staff's and commissioners' jobs should be pretty straight-forward. Mill Valley is fortunate to have a veteran and talented planning director in Mike Moore.
The council has faced similar challenges before. In this case, there may be a disconnect between staff, the commission and the council.
Councilman Ken Wach-tel suggested the commission hold a "retreat" session, where it can informally hash out issues raised by Rand and other commissioners.
That's not a bad idea, but the council needs to make sure the public is involved in the dialogue.
Mill Valley's challenges aren't likely to get any easier. While many people don't want change, Mill Valley faces the pressures of change. There are a lot of new families with kids and those growing families — and an improving economy — will generate plans for remodeling projects, adding rooms, increasing house sizes — all possible fodder for more planning conflicts.
The council's challenge is to make sure local planning strikes a balance that reflects a local consensus.
A healthy public dialogue is the first step toward making sure the city's planning goals and guidelines are still in tune with that consensus.

What a dramatic name for a rather simple, but potentially useful cookbook. Unlike most of the cut-throat TV cooking shows in which two or more accomplished cooks are given a list of ingredients and asked to battle to the death and then to be judged by a sarcastic panel of some sort, "Cook Fight" asks two New York Times food writers to reach into their respective experiences and create meals to fit 12 occasions. Oftentimes writers Kim Severson and Julia Moskin just end up complementing one another to finish off a single meal.
Having said that, I found that they do reflect on interesting recipes from some of the world's better chefs. Additionally, these recipes range from easy to only moderately complex — certainly adaptable to any home kitchen — and written with good-natured "ribbing" between two obvious friends.
The chapters range from creating dinner for six for under $50 to an outdoor picnic feast. You'll explore menus for children, a farmers market challenge, an all-vegetarian meal, Thanksgiving and a holiday open-house menu among many other themes.
I found two simple and quite taste appetizers and a pasta recipe for my wife, who refuses to eat tomato sauces. All winners.
Pasta with roast chicken, currants and pine nuts
3½ pounds bone-in chicken thighs, patted dry
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 ½ pounds bucatini or linguine
2 teaspoons crumbled dried rosemary
½ cup dried currants or raisins
2/3 cup dried pine nuts, toasted until golden in a skillet or 250-degree oven
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Arrange the thighs in a large roasting pan, preferably nonstick. Sprinkle generously with salt, pepper and paprika and dot with butter. Bake for about 35 minutes, until the thighs are cooked through and the skins crisp.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil.
When the chicken is done, let cool slightly, then use your hands to pull the meat and skin form the bones, making bite-sized pieces. Reserve the meat and skin in the roasting pan with the cooking juices. Discard the bones.
Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until just tender.
Reserving 1 cup of the cooking water, drain the pasta and add to the roasting pan. Add ½ cup of the pasta water to the roasting pan and set over low heat. Add the rosemary, currants and pine nuts and toss, then add more salt and pepper to taste, and add more cooking water if the mixture seems too dry. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately in shallow bowls.
Chicken liver pate
8 ounces chicken livers, well-trimmed
½ small onion , thinly sliced
1 small garlic clove, smashed and peeled
1 bay leaf
¼ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt
½ cup water
12 tablespoons (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 teaspoons Cognac or other brandy
Freshly ground black pepper
Combine the chicken livers, onion, garlic, bay leaf, thyme and ½ teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan, add the water and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the livers are just barely pink inside about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
Discard the bay leaf. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the livers, onion and garlic to a food processor; process until coarsely pureed. With the machine on, add the butter 2 tablespoons at a time, processing until incorporated. Add the Cognac, season with salt and pepper, and process until completely smooth.
Scrape the pate into two or three ramekins. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the pate and refrigerate until firm. (If you want to make this a few days ahead, pour a thin layer of melted butter over the top and wrap in plastic.)
Serve the pate on very crispy toasts, which are best made with lightly buttered thin slices of baguette baked on a baking sheet at 325 degrees for 6 minutes or until they are golden but not crisp that they will shatter.
Cheddar gougères
Makes about 3 dozen puffs
1 cup water
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1½ teaspoons dry mustard
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 6 ounces)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.
Combined the water, butter, and salt in a medium heavy sauce pan and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, add the flour, and mix with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the pan and come together. Set aside, without stirring for 5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. With each addition, the dough will look glossy and slick at first; let it come together before adding the next egg. Mix in the mustard, cayenne and cheese. The dough will be quite loose and sticky.
Scoop up a heaping teaspoon of dough and use another spoon to scrape it onto one of the lined pans: it should form a mound about an inch in diameter. (Alternatively, use a pastry bag or heavy plastic bag with one corner cut off to pipe small mounds onto the pan.) Repeat with the remaining dough, leaving ½ inch between the puffs.
Bake for about 25 minutes, until puffy and golden, rotating the pans halfway through. Remove from the oven and serve immediately, or leave in the oven, turn the oven off and open the door slightly to keep the puffs warm for up to 1 hour.
Cookbook Critic runs Wednesdays in the Plus section. This week's Cookbook Critic is Don Caruso of San Rafael, who says he finds it easier to fall asleep in the evenings while composing recipes in his mind than counting sheep ... that is unless he's thinking about a rack of lamb delicacy.

Evolution Hoax
A9 TV, May 16th, 2012
Indeed when I look at those who take us on , who talk against us, who abuse us and see that they are all illegitimate, immoral, dishonorable people who are devoid of character. Wherever there is a dishonorable person, a cheater, they talk against us. I have not seen a second alternative yet. I will give any money they ask to those who show me a second alternative. They are absolutely dark people. I have not seen one normal person yet. They are all dishonorable, dishonest, ignoble. I made careful research into this and saw that they are smugglers, impostors, thugs, scumbags. This is the wisdom of Allah. It is a miracle. It is as if they have been organized, this is something astonishing.
One needs to ask for an indubitable faith from Allah. A person disgraces oneself in doubting Allah. He will feel very much ashamed in the Hereafter. This is something contemptuous for a person. One needs to love Allah with pure, genuine faith. Allah must definitely put a person into trial. Just think about it; another form of life is not possible. In the absence of faith, this broadcast would have no meaning. If, Allah forbid, there is no test in this world, clothes would lose their meaning. Everything would lose their meaning. An easy trial is, under all circumstances, is no trial. It must be a reasonable trial, insha'Allah.
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed satan, Surah Sad, Verse 17
"Be steadfast in the face of what they say" So what will we do? What does our Master Sheikh Nazim say? "He[I] should not care about them because their judgment is impaired," he says that about the hypocrites. What does Allah say to the Prophet David (pbuh)? Do not care, be steadfast. ".. and remember Our servant David who possessed true strength." Almighty Allah addresses our Prophet (saas) and then mentions the name of the Prophet David (pbuh). What does the command "remember" mean here? It means that this is a religious duty. Allah decrees; "remember". That is because "..He truly turned to his Lord. " Almighty Allah says that we should be thinking about the Prophet David (pbuh) as an example. The Christians know about him as David, as well.
[Surat as-Sad; 18] " We subjected the mountains.." Allah says that the mountains are under His command, ".. to glorify with him in the evening and at sunrise."
These verses are directly referring to the End Times. Whenever we say something, when we say "Allah", the Name of Allah is instantly echoed all over. All the hills are echoing back the Name of Allah at the moment.
[Surat As-Sad; 19] " And also the birds, flocking together.. " Birds are very cute animals, they are very sweet. ".. all of them turned to Him." Allah has given this beautiful animal to us as an example and He says that they all turn to Him. From that we understand that they are conscientious, intelligent beings.
[Surat As-Sad; 20] "We made his kingdom strong.." Allah says We made him rich. All prophets are rich. Our Prophet (saas) was also rich. The Prophet David (pbuh) was rich as well. So that means our Prophet (saas) was not poor. He was not binding rocks around his stomach. The lot of bigots always wants to portrait our Prophet (saas) like this. The fact is that all the prophets are rich. ".. and gave him wisdom and decisive speech." Meaning he speaks tersely. Not making long speeches that possess no meaning at all, like the bigots do. Concise, terse, striking, influential, sincere explanations. ".. decisive speech." His speech has a very striking impact and shakes the listener so that the man would be amazed when he hears him talking.
[Surat As-Sad; 21] "Has the story of the litigants reached you? How they climbed up to the Upper Room [where David was]" Why does Allah define this story as important. "Has the story of the litigants reached you?" That is an important story that means. So there is a reference here, an explanation. What we understand from the first look, is that in one aspect referring to the End Times, there will be litigation prosecuted against Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). That is because the verse says "litigants." Allah explains us all these through symbols in the Qur'an. We know that Mahdi (pbuh) will live in a protected place, in a dangerous environment, surrounded by walls and we understand that it would be reasonable for Muslims to stay in places surrounded with walls as well. We understand that it would not be right to live in a place with no protection. Also in the story of the Cave, Allah stresses the importance of keeping a dog at the door. The dog protects. And here, there is the mention of high walls. The Qur'an implicates the necessity of a place surrounded with walls and protected by dogs. Allah does not tell of all these just as a story in the Qur'an. Allah wants us to get these deep meanings, these symbols. "How they climbed up to the Upper Room [where David was].." They can climb up those walls as well, so high walls do not guarantee anything. We need to take precautions against that climbing as well. Having a place that is high and surrounded by walls would not be enough against the danger. One needs to keep alert. The same is valid for the dog as well, if necessary there has to be people watching on guard. That refers to this point.
[Surat As-Sad; 22] ".. and came in on David who was alarmed by them." That is because he is not on guard when they came in suddenly. In which conditions does one get alarmed? In an unexpected incident. That means something he didn't expect happened. The Qur'an refers to the necessity of people taking precautions in the face of unexpected events. ".. They said, 'Do not be afraid. We are two litigants.." Being afraid does not suit Prophets. As Allah says, he was alarmed. That was a flaw as well. "Do not be afraid" Allah frequently tells the Prophets "..not to be afraid and not to be sad." Allah has deemed fear unlawful for the Prophets. Being afraid is also unlawful for Muslims. "...two litigants" this might also be referring to two important litigations in the End Times. This also refers to the End Times in one aspect. ".. one of whom has acted unjustly towards the other, so judge between us with truth and do not be unjust and guide us to the Right Path." These are all the characteristics of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).
[Surat As-Sad; 23] "This brother of mine has ninety-nine ewes,.. " Why would Allah mention the number 99? He might as well not mention any number at all. That is because it is not 98, not 97, but 99. That means there will be an important incident in the End Times in the year 99. This refers to that incident insha'Allah. ".. and I have only one." Here there is a reference to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) not having any possessions. That is because, as you know, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will not have any possessions. "He said, "Let me have charge of it," and got the better of me with his words. " The Qur'an here draws attention to the danger of demagoguery. Through demagoguery people might get the better of the others through their words, even though they are not right. Allah stresses that we need to be alert regarding demagoguery.
"He said "Let me have charge of it".." By this, the Qur'an draws attention to how merciless and cruel the capitalists will be, raving people, savage capitalism in the End times, how it could be in the End Times. That means the Qur'an draws attention to the small capital being swallowed by the big capital; the Qur'an implicates that some big capital owners will be very merciless and cruel and that there will be such a merciless system in the End Times and that the system of the anti-christ will be supporting this raving system. That is a concise and terse explanation depicting Capitalism.
[Surat As-Sad; 24] "He said, 'He has wronged you by asking for your ewe to add to his ewes. " The Prophet David (pbuh) draws attention to the fact that the capitalist system is a system of persecution. "Truly many partners are unjust to one another.." The Prophet David says that the capitalists are very ambitious. For instance some of the holdings, big companies are in a race to swallow each other, he says. He says such people want to cast aside their partners and crush them, confiscate all their possessions by making them ineffective. ".. except those who have faith and do right actions. "
If they are people of faith, if they live by Islam, capitalism would vanish, he says. The capitalist mindset will vanish, the savage capitalism will collapse he says. ".. except those who have faith and how few they are!" he says. That is also a reference to the students of Mahdi being very few in the End Times. The Qur'an refers to how few sincere Muslims there will be in the End times and how the capitalists will create such a savage world.
".. David realized that We had put him to the test. He begged forgiveness from his Lord" A Muslim would constantly beg forgiveness from Allah, and that is because he would constantly make mistakes and there will constantly be abnormal thoughts passing through his mind. Almighty Allah says that one must be alert about that.
".. and fell down prone, prostrating, and repented." Prostrating Jews are mentioned in the Torah as well. By that, we understand that performing prayers [salat] was also commanded in the time of the Prophets reaching back until Judaism. Performing prayers also has a place in the Torah now and some of the Jews are performing their prayers now. First they bow and then prostrate. That is how the prayers were described at the time. The prone is the same, it is the same with the way we perform our prayers. Then he bows and then prostrates. Almighty Allah says ".. he sincerely turned to Us with a wholehearted submission and love and repented."
[Surat As-Sad; 25] "So We forgave him" I forgave him says Almighty Allah about the Prophet. "We forgave him" He says. That means the Prophets are forgiven. They can be forgiven. That means they may also come to a point that needs to be forgiven. The decree is explicit here. ".. he has nearness to Us and a good Homecoming." Almighty Allah says; "...he is near to Me and he will go to Heaven". We can clearly say that the Prophet David (pbuh) will go to Heaven because there is a provision about that. It has been stated through revelation. But we cannot say that about Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). There is no such revelation about Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). There is no such clear and explicit provision in the Qur'an to state that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will go to Heaven.
[Surat As-Sad; 26] "David! We have made you a khalif on the earth." We have deemed him the ruler of the world. We have made him a khalif, Allah says. Who is this khalif? Mahdi (pbuh). There is a reference to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) as well. "..so judge between people with truth.." Mahdi will judge between people with the truth. How is the name of Mahdi mentioned in the Torah? He is referred to as the son of David. Whose line will Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) be coming? He will be coming from the line of the Prophet David (pbuh). The appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be like the children of Israel. ".. and do not follow your own desires." Meaning do not act on your own mind, on your own thoughts, but act according to the commands of Allah. ".. letting them misguide you from the Way of Allah." If you abide by the bigots. "Those who are misguided from the Way of Allah will receive a harsh punishment." Allah says in the verse that He will give a harsh punishment to those who acts like that on purpose.
The year ninety nine is a turning point. The year 1999 is a very historical, very important turning point, insha'Allah.2012-06-29 10:23:09

Last week, KRQE-News 13 (Albuquerque's CBS affiliate) got all nasty on us. During an evening broadcast, anchor Dick Knipfing (whose name has not been changed, unfortunately for him) opened with an assertion that SFR's recent reporting—on FBI interviews related to a lucrative racino lease awarded in 2011 to a politically connected company [news, May 29: "Downs Doings"]—was "not accurate."
Dick, Dick, Dick. You've been doing this a long time.
What's the No. 1 rule of journalism? Report the truth. (KRQE has offered no proof that SFR's reporting is inaccurate; in fact, evidence has emerged to confirm it.) What's the No. 2 rule of journalism? Get both sides of the story. (KRQE never called SFR for a comment and, since the broadcast aired, has refused to return our many messages requesting a correction.)

BURNLEY midfielder Scott Arfield has today put pen to paper on a new three-year deal at Turf Moor.
The 25-year-old was instrumental in helping the Clarets clinch automatic promotion in his first season with the club, after arriving on a free transfer from Huddersfield Town last summer.
The Scot made 49 league and cup appearances, scoring nine goals.
Arfield initially arrived on a two-year deal, but his contract has now been extended to the summer of 2017.
"We had a great year last season and this is a club going in the right direction so I'm made up to be a part of that," he said.
"I'm delighted to have extended my deal with the club as this is where I want to be playing my football under this management.
"I felt like I was getting back to my best last season and a massive factor behind that was because I was enjoying my football and I felt I could go out and express myself."

Bucs bats come to life late but comeback falls short
Pirates fall victim to Tigers ace Verlander's Interleague dominance
DETROIT -- The Pirates have lauded and relied upon their depth, and rightfully so. The role players on the bottom of the roster and in the back of the bullpen have played a major part in the impressive record the Bucs took into Interleague Play on Memorial Day. You don't write the Bucs' track record in late-game comeback wins without their help.
On Monday, the spotlight instead cast their shadow over a 6-5 loss to the Tigers.
The Pirates had fought back to trim a 4-1 deficit to Detroit ace Justin Verlander to 4-3 when Jose Contreras, the last man in a seven-man bullpen, came on in the seventh to give back those two runs.
And once again the Bucs reduced that 6-3 deficit to 6-5 in the eighth and were still threatening with one out when Josh Harrison entered the game as a pinch-runner to represent the tying run. Harrison was picked off at second base by reliever Joaquin Benoit, ending the Pirates' last serious threat.
"They told me to be aggressive, and that's what I was trying to do. I'm taking a couple extra steps, maybe I go," said Harrison, mindful that the Pirates had already stolen three bases on catcher Brayan Pena, including one of third by Andrew McCutchen. "But then [Benoit] did something different that he didn't do the previous five pitches."
Flushed with the rush from a fascinating game, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle lamented both flubs, but did not fault either.
Contreras created "a little problematic situation. We had battled back within one, then came back again in the eighth," Hurdle said. "But you can't pitch the same guys all the time. He needed to pitch that inning today."
Confirming Harrison had the blueprint to be aggressive, Hurdle said, "We tried to make something happen. Our average with men in scoring position is not extremely high right now, and if we got a guy moving on the pitch, maybe it opens up a lane, maybe he scores on an infield out.
"You don't draw it up to be picked off," Hurdle added. "You draw it up to be aggressive."
Although in a losing effort, the Bucs kept it tight -- the one-run game was their ninth in the last 15 -- this time against one of the Majors' elite pitchers backed up by one of the Majors' most rugged lineups.
"I love the way we battled," Hurdle said. "We got down early and battled back, a couple of different times."
Verlander, deciding to end his extended impersonation of someone human after having allowed 17 runs and 22 hits in the 12 2/3 innings of his last three starts, throttled the Pirates on four hits until buckling slightly in the seventh, his final inning. For good measure, he also notched his first double-digit strikeout game, with 13, since April 18.
Maybe Verlander, who brought an ERA of 3.66 into the game, was due. Or maybe it's just what Interleague giants always do. Verlander improved his record against the National League to 20-2.
"Part of it is he's really, really good," said Detroit manager Jim Leyland, attempting to explain that record, "and part of it is they don't get to see him much."
For the second time in as many starts, Francisco Liriano got one run in the first inning and tried to run with it. Last Wednesday he worked the first seven innings to make that first-inning run stand up for a 1-0 victory over the Cubs. Monday, he protected the first-inning run -- on Neil Walker's triple and McCutchen's sacrifice fly -- through three, making it 10 straight innings he had survived on the ledge.
This ledge was particularly precarious: The Tigers threw at him a lineup that included seven men hitting over .300, many of them well over; and the two under the figure included Prince Fielder, who does heavy damage not measured by average.
The Pirates' lineup, once it lost Starling Marte to a pregame case of migraine symptoms, in contrast did not have a single .300 hitter. That's the apples-and-oranges of National and American League play.
Detroit caught up in the fourth, but it actually was a chance for Liriano to do his best, most impressive work. The Tigers already had their tying run on consecutive singles by Fielder, Victor Martinez and Jhonny Peralta, leaving them with two runners on and none out, when Liriano answered the challenge. The runners advanced to second and third on an infield grounder, and that's where they rooted on two more meek infield grounders.
"He's got experience, and doesn't panic," Hurdle said of the veteran lefty, who was back in trouble in the fifth.
After Omar Infante and Miguel Cabrera struck out around a walk of Torii Hunter, Fielder blooped a single over the emptied left side of the infield, and was followed by Martinez's roller down the left-field line for a two-run double, and Peralta's cue-shot double down the right-field line was good for another run and a 4-1 lead.
"Three balls not hit extremely hard, but find grass," said Hurdle, summing up that rally.
"It was one of those games when it doesn't matter what you throw, they're going to keep finding holes," said Liriano, providing his own summary.
When the Pirates stirred in the seventh, Verlander had to man-up for the victory. Gaby Sanchez led off with a double and scored on a two-out triple by Travis Snider, who then scored on Walker's double to make it 4-3.
Furthermore, it brought up McCutchen, now with the tying run in scoring position. A worthwhile duel ensued, seven pitches' worth, and Verlander won it, getting McCutchen swinging at a disappearing curve. It was the 12th Verlander pitch at which McCutchen had swung -- and only the second he had missed.
"I'd thrown him one all day and I knew my curveball had been really good," Verlander said, "so I thought it was a great time to throw it."
Verlander, in other words, had set his trap.
He wasn't alone.
"This was a nip-and-tuck game," Hurdle said. "We set the trap, and will get after them tomorrow."

What is a biennial report
The COP, by decision 1/CP.16, decided that developed country Parties should enhance reporting in national communications and submit biennial reports, which outline progress in achieving emission reductions and the provision of financial, technology and capacity-building support to non-Annex I Parties, building on existing reporting and review guidelines, processes and experiences. Decision 1/CP.16 also established a new process, international assessment and review (IAR), under the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) for developed country Parties that aims to promote the comparability of efforts among all developed country Parties with regard to their quantified economy-wide emission limitation and reduction targets <<more>>. The detailed guidelines for the preparation of BRs contained in annex I to decision 2/CP.17 were adopted by COP 17 in Durban.
Reporting of biennial reports
Following provisions of decision 2/CP.17 developed country Parties were requested to submit their first biennial report (BR1) to the secretariat by 1 January 2014 and the second and subsequent BR two years after the due date of a full NC (i.e. 2016, 2020). They have two options to report information in the BR1: Parties could present the BR1 as an annex to the national communication (NC) or as a separate report.
In response to request for guidance on reporting of NC and BR by a number of Parties the secretariat has analysed the information which is required to be presented in the BR and NC, identified the areas of overlaps and suggested an approach as to how these overlaps could be avoided.
The presentation (175 kB) provides a summary of the analysis conducted by the secretariat and presented at the 10 th lead reviewers meeting held in Bonn, Germany, 18-21 March 2013. It provides a view by the secretariat on the possible approach to report NC6 and BR1 and is not a formal guidance or recommendation. It is up to a Party to decide if it will report NC6 and BR1 as two separate reports or BR1 as an annex to NC6 and which option and approach it may take to deal with areas of overlapping information.
When a Party choose to present its BR as an annex to the NC, it may choose to avoid duplication of information on similar topics by following two approaches: (1) detailed reporting of the information on the similar topics in the NC, and cross-referencing to summary of this information in the BR or (2) provision of summary information on such similar topics in the NC and cross-referencing to detailed information being provided in the BR. Notwithstanding the differences in these two approaches, the BR when presented as an annex to the NC, should be possible to be read as a stand-alone document and should meet all requirements of the UNFCCC biennial reporting guidelines for developed country Parties (Annex, decision 2/CP.17).
When a Party chooses to report the BR and the NC as separate reports, the reader- friendliness could be enhanced by indicating which parts are similar in both reports.
In any case, provision of complete, transparent, accurate, comparable and consistent information in the BR and the common tabular format is an essential reporting requirement.
Biennial reporting common tabular format (BR CTF) application
The Conference of the Parties, in decision 19/CP.18, requested the UNFCCC secretariat to develop a test version of an electronic reporting application for the common tabular format (BR CTF) for developed country Parties, by May 2013 and to finalize the development by July 2013.
The BR CTF application has been released on 22 July 2013, for use by Parties to report their common tabular formats of biennial reports.
The advanced version of the application which allows compilers to import data from excel to BR CTF tables 2-9 was released on 18 October 2013. The user manual is available on the landing page of the BR CTF application Noted issues are being fixed on a regular basis. Currently, the BR CTF has over 200 users from 43 Parties and is supported by the secretariat's help desk at. email@example.com
Technical Reviews
As outlined in annex II of decision 2/CP.17, the IAR process will include a technical review of biennial reports, where relevant in conjunction with the annual greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories, and national communications of developed country Parties, which will result in an individual review report for each developed country Party. When the biennial reports are submitted in the same year as the national communications, the reviews are conducted in conjunction, in-country. When biennial reports are not submitted in the same years as the national communications, the reviews are conducted through centralized reviews. The technical reviews are conducted by an international team of experts from Annex I and non-Annex I Parties, selected from the Roster of Experts.
The UNFCCC secretariat invited lead reviewers to share their experiences in review of the NCs and BRs at the First and Second Meeting of Lead Reviewers for the review of Biennial Reports and National Communications of Annex I Parties in March 2014 and March 2015, respectively.
BR and NC lead reviewers meetings
In accordance with the "Guidelines for the technical review of information reported under the Convention related to greenhouse gas inventories, biennial reports and national communications by Parties included in Annex I to the Convention" included in annex to decision 23/CP.19, the secretariat shall facilitate annual meetings of the lead reviewers (LRs) for greenhouse gas inventories, biennial reports and national communication. The outcomes of the lead reviewers meetings should facilitate the work of the LRs in fulfilling their task to ensure consistency in the reviews across the Parties. LRs shall collectively prepare an annual report to the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice containing suggestions on how to improve the quality, efficiency and consistency of the reviews.
The first LRs meeting was organized in 2014 following by the second LRs meeting in 2015. The conclusions of these meetings are presented through the following links:Source: unfccc.int

Rest, not results, reason behind Papi's day off
BOSTON -- David Ortiz was out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Blue Jays, but it had nothing to do with his performance at the plate -- he has one hit in his last 20 at-bats. Ortiz played all nine games over the last nine days.
Ortiz was also unavailable as a pinch-hitter, manager John Farrell said.
"It's part of what we had laid out, to also take advantage of the off-day tomorrow, to give him two days down," said Farrell. "That's what this is today."
Since seeing his 27-game hitting streak come to an end, Ortiz has seen his average drop from .414 to .333.
"He might have been pulling off the ball more than when he first rejoined us," Farrell said. "There's nothing abnormal here. We'd love to think he's going to hit .500 for the whole year, but that's probably going to tail off at some point.
"When he was in that good stretch when he first started, he was driving balls to straightaway left and left-center, which he got back to yesterday with the base hit to left. He's squared some balls up that haven't found a hole or carried, as they had when he first rejoined us. I can't say there's any one major issue he's dealing with mechanically."
With Ortiz out, Mike Napoli got a rare day to rest his legs while taking over at designated hitter and homered in the 12-4 loss. Mike Carp got the start at first base.
