A Berwyn native and former star forward for Davidson College's basketball team heads to Israel this week to start his professional career with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Jake Cohen, a former star forward for Davidson College's basketball team, doesn't hesitate when asked whether the last half-year has been exciting or disappointing.
"Definitely exciting," said Cohen, a Berwyn native who was a two-time Southern Conference player of the year at his North Carolina school.
On Thursday, the 22-year-old heads to Israel to start his professional career with Maccabi Tel Aviv, a new chapter that he is eager to open.
But Cohen could be forgiven if he had answered the question about the last six months differently. After all, his life since March has been quite a roller coaster.
Heading into the NCAA tournament, Davidson, a No. 14 seed, was a trendy pick to be one of this year's sleeper teams and to upset No. 3 seed Marquette University in their second round match-up. Davidson seemed poised to do just that. But a Marquette player with a name made for headlines, Vander Blue, drove past Cohen with one second remaining to finish off an incredible final minute rally. Marquette won 59-58.
"It was really hard to comprehend. The first instinct is to blame yourself and think about what you could have done differently, but with a little time you come to learn that's how things go sometimes — however improbable it may seem," said Cohen, who led the team with 20 points.
It also probably helped that Cohen didn't have so much time to stew over the defeat. As soon as the tournament ended, he started training for NBA workouts leading up to the draft in June. He worked out for 10 teams, including two workouts for the Sixers, but went undrafted.
The 6-foot-10-inch forward said he went into the draft with low expectations. The Phoenix Suns had also told him they would sign him to their summer league team, so he said he wasn't disappointed when he didn't hear his name announced.
As an undrafted player from a small school, Cohen was a long shot to stick with the Suns, but he had already signed a contract with Maccabi before he started the summer league, meaning joblessness wasn't on his mind.
And despite not yet achieving his goal of playing in the NBA, Cohen looks at the experience as a positive. He said the Suns treated him like an NBA player and during a four-day minicamp he was able to participate in "some of the most intense basketball" he had ever played.
"I was really playing with house money. If things went really well in Phoenix and I made the team, then that's great. If not, I had an incredible opportunity with Maccabi," Cohen said.
A member of Temple Sholom in Broomall growing up, Cohen is not stepping into wholly unfamiliar territory. He represented Israel at the under-20 European basketball championships in 2010 and spent five weeks in the Jewish state before the tournament.
He said he benefited from "playing a different style of basketball. It was definitely an adjustment from college." The European brand of basketball, Cohen said, is officiated differently and in some ways more physical. Once acclimated, Cohen said he played well, and that was when Maccabi started scouting him.
He also had to adjust off the court.
"It was an eye-opening experience getting to live in a different country, on my own for most of it, and trying to learn a new language unsuccessfully," said Cohen, who has gone through the process to become an Israeli citizen.
The tryout with the Suns did nothing to diminish Cohen's lifelong dream of playing in the NBA. He hopes to try again in a few years.
For now though, he's looking forward to playing with Maccabi on one of the top teams in Israel and the Euroleague, where he'll face some of the best talent outside the NBA.
"My family is really happy for me because they know that playing professional basketball has always been a dream," Cohen said. "My Jewish friends are more just jealous that I get live in Israel, but I tell them they have to make a pilgrimage and come visit me."

Arlington, Va. – In a letter sent Thursday to President Barack Obama, RILA President Sandy Kennedy argued that the Administration's failure in a timely manner to provide employers with formal guidance on the most basic of implementation rules for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) jeopardizes employer-sponsored healthcare coverage.
"RILA is extremely concerned that when formal guidance is finally released, employers will not have ample time to plan, budget and implement changes in order to comply with the new law," said Kennedy.
While the law doesn't take effect until January 2014, plan years beginning in early 2013 that transverse the ACA's effective date are obligated to be in compliance. In some cases, the open enrollment period for such plans is under way now.
RILA raised similar concerns in a letter sent to President Obama in July. The association said it has engaged closely with the Administration in an effort to support and inform the complex rulemaking process. However, with no time left to reasonably comply with forthcoming implementation rules, transition relief is needed to allow employers to adapt existing benefits and design future benefits to comply with the law.
"RILA strongly urges the Administration to provide employers with transition relief with respect to the employer requirements under the ACA," said Kennedy.
The letter included a sample of the many questions that employers need answered in order to ensure their health benefits comply with the new law.
The law is effective on January 1, 2014, yet there are no formal regulations for the employer requirements. How do employers with plan years that transverse January 1, 2014 comply, as 2013 plans are already in effect?
- How will full-time employees be defined?
- What is the definition of a seasonal employee?
- What does it mean to make an "offer" of coverage? How are employers expected to demonstrate that they have "offered coverage?"
- Who are "dependents?"

Every community with a hockey program at any level should be concerned on how the game is coached, officiated and played, following the checking-from-behind accident that has paralyzed Jack Jablonski, a sophomore from Benilde-St. Margaret High School.
The state and the nation is paying attention to Jablonski's recovery and the need for leaders of hockey programs to examine how coaches teach checking (body contact) at all age groups.
As facts become known, it's surprising more checking from behind is happening, because it is illegal. In the first month of this high school hockey season 24 boys have been ejected for checking from behind.
No checking at all is supposed to be allowed in girls' hockey, yet four cases of it have already been reported this season.
A St. Croix Lutheran High School player, Jenna Privette of West St. Paul, is hospitalized, after apparently being checked.
The severity of Jablonski's injury that paralyzed him, has caused hockey leaders and coaches in Minnesota to sound the alarm that the sport is under siege and that everything possible must be done to avoid back-checking.
Minnesota Hockey President Dave Margenau sent out a letter to all coaches urging them to work on correct body contact, to support officials calls and before every game remind players about the dangers of checking behind.
Minnesota Hockey has several programs, including a hockey education program, a Heads Up, Don't Duck program, a STOP Patch program and a concussion education program.
The Minnesota State High School League also has mailed a letter to its 280 hockey coaches warning them to eliminate hitting from behind and to emphasize proper body contact techniques.
While no one wants body contact to be eliminated from this popular sport, the public is demanding a monitoring of how checking is being taught and how the rules are being enforced.
Some want the offenders to be expelled instead of issuing two-minute and 10-minute penalties.
One high school official said few high school players are expelled for rule violations and it's rare when a student is expelled from school for the same reason.
Checking is allowed for bantam and high school hockey players. It is banned for pee wees, squirts and mites, as it should be.
Those who referee youth hockey games are also coming under fire for not calling enough checking from behind infractions and for not issuing stricter penalties.
Some observers acknowledge the culture of allowing more violent play at the youth levels particularly from parents, may be contributing to the more severe checking kids see modeled in professional hockey.
In most communities, hockey is left up to associations and high school coaches, with little interference from outside groups, like school boards.
High school coaching accountability flows through the athletic director, the principal, the superintendent of schools and the school board.
This matter should concern every high school athletic director and school board to whom coaches should be accountable.
Managers of communities that sponsor hockey in their recreational programs also should inquire on how well coaches teach proper body contact and the quality of referees.
While some believe the outcry from the Jablonski injury may be excessive, concern for the safety of young people playing hockey has been heightened and those in charge should see this as an opportunity to make the game safer.

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were the original "dumb and dumber" comedy team, or, as Stan Laurel (who thought up most of the team's gags) once put it, "two minds without a single thought." In all of their two-reel, or twenty minute short films, they are usually presented as down and out, penniless vagrants, who drift from one job to the next with stunning incompetence. One of their best shorts, The Music Box (1932), finds them working as piano movers.
The entire film, which is actually a three reel, or 30 minute film, and their only film to win an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film (in 1933), chronicles their nearly futile attempts to deliver a player piano (a surprise birthday gift from his wife) to the irascible Professor Theodore von Schwarzenhoffen (Billy Gilbert), whose house is at the top of an incredibly long, steep flight of stairs.
No matter how Laurel and Hardy struggle to make it to the top, the piano repeatedly slips from their hands, falling down the stairs over and over. After many unsuccessful attempts, they finally get the battered piano to the top of the stairs, only to be told by a passing postman (Charlie Hall) that they could have simply take a back driveway to get to the house, thus avoiding the steep climb altogether.
The genius of Laurel and Hardy is evident in their response to this useful bit of information: although the piano is now, at long last, right in front of Professor Schwarzenhoffen's house, they nevertheless laboriously drag the piano back down to the bottom of the stairs, load it into their horse drawn wagon, and deliver it via the driveway.
But even this isn't the end of their troubles; when they discover no one is home, Laurel and Hardy break into the house, and, using a block and tackle, haul the piano in, with numerous false starts, through a second story front window. Although the piano falls into a wading pool several times, Laurel and Hardy finally manage to drag the waterlogged piano downstairs into the living room. In the process, the duo inflict an enormous amount of damage to both Professor Schwarzenhoffen's house and the piano itself, when the Professor himself finally appears, justly furious at the destruction to his home.
As Depression era symbols of eternal optimism, even when the odds are stacked hopelessly stacked against them, Laurel and Hardy made audiences laugh at their endless incompetence, and took viewers' minds off the grim reality of their everyday existence. Although the team made feature films, it is in their short films that their comic genius most truly shines, and The Music Box is a prime example of their art. Laurel and Hardy never succeed at everyday tasks in their movies, but they keep on trying, no matter how tough the going gets. In this, they served as the ideal comic team for one of America's darkest eras, and brought hope and laughter into the lives of millions of moviegoers.

text: A cake to remember: Styrofoam Capitol's edible lawn to serve 15,000 By Laura Reston June 18, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Sara Lane has spent the last two months painstakingly designing and constructing a massive birthday cake for the impending Sesquicentennial celebrations, state officials said.It took her 240 hours and over 900 pounds of fondant frosting to complete the giant dessert -- a replica of the Capitol surrounded by an expansive green lawn."We wanted to do something big for this major milestone in West Virginia's history," said Chelsea Ruby, executive director of the West Virginia Sesquicentennial Commission. "We wanted to create a cake that people would remember."The cake, which stands 40 inches tall and measures 8 feet long, will feed 15,000 people at the Sesquicentennial celebrations on the Capitol grounds this weekend.Over the last few weeks, Lane, a local baker, painstakingly constructed the lawn, airbrushed the building, and used fondant frosting to coat the Capitol substructure.Lane couldn't be reached for comment Tuesday. Ruby said that Lane, wife of Delegate Patrick Lane, R-Kanawha, donated her time, and the cake ingredients were bought with Sesquicentennial Commission funds.Construction began several months before, when Sesquicentennial organizers approached Darren Husband, a touring exhibit designer at the state Division of Culture and History, to ask whether he could help Lane construct a small Capitol dome for the cake. But Husband said he decided to embark on a more ambitious project -- crafting the entire Capitol building from Styrofoam."We might as well go big and do the whole thing," Husband said Wednesday.He enlisted his father, David Husband, to help craft the Styrofoam sculpture. While Darren Husband poured over Capitol blueprints to reconstruct an accurate floor plan, his father used a computer program to build a detailed and lifelike model of the structure.They subsequently spent a week carving the substructure before handing it over to Lane, who added details like columns, railing and windows made from icing.Lane had researched those details for weeks, collecting pictures and details about Capitol decor, Darren Husband said.He said Lane managed to incorporate details, including the detailed gold inlay on the done and a small plaque that one can see only from pictures."It's pretty incredible," Husband said. In a news release from Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's office, Lane said, "I studied the Capitol's architecture as a history major and have been in and around this marvelous building many times. But studying the details of every corner, every symbol, and every shape -- and their place in the building's overall design -- has changed the way I look at it. It is truly an awe-inspiring structure."Although the Styrofoam Capitol structure is inedible, Lane used chocolate and vanilla cake to make the lawn.The public can get a piece of cake anytime from 2 to 8 p.m. Thursday, from 2 to 9 p.m. Friday, and from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday at the Culture Center, which will house the cake throughout the celebrations.On Thursday alone, the Sesquicentennial Commission expects to hand out about 5,000 pieces of cake."It's something that people are going to be talking about for a long time," Ruby said.Reach Laura Reston at email@example.com or 304-348-5112.

Posted: Thu Jun 02, 2005 8:05 pm Post subject: Michael, Magic, and Larry to help pick Olympic team
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Larry Brown are among the whos who list of stars who agreed today to help choose the mens Olympic basketball team for the United States.
Other former players on the list this week included David Robinson, Charles Barkley, Bill Russell and Oscar Robertson. Other coaches included Dean Smith, Bob Knight, John Thompson and Chuck Daly.
They say Olympic team, i wonder if they mean the team for the qualifers and the World Championships. The rest of the world considers that to be the biggest event, it's about time we did the same. I like that they are taking this more seriously than they have before. So how bout it, who's your picks t be on the team? You know for sure Shaq won't be playing, Duncan hates FIBA (can't blame him) that leaves the US without 2 of the best players in the world. I also don't expect Kobe to accept an invite.
My team, I based this on how the world plays the game and players i think could fit into a team concept.
Coach K
Mike D'Antoni
Tubby Smith
I like these Coaches because they all demand respect. The college game is more like the international game, i figured college coaches would have a better feel on how to develop game plans.
S. Marion
K. Hinrich
Before you go off with your "ahhh this guy is stupid...he didn't put ___________ on the team" Let me explain my picks. I watch alot of the US teams losses over the past 3 years, most of them were due to them not playing together and not being able to shoot worth a damn. I'm still not convinced that the world is even with us, when we put a competant team on the court. I wanted to pick guys that are not one trick ponies unless they can shoot. Ben Wallace for as great as he is, imo would not be that much of a factor. On the offensive end, we'd be playing 4 on 5 for the most part.
Most of these guys are great at two things atleast. KG has the total package, y'all just seen Amare play toe to toe with the best player in the world, evenly. Lebron's jumpshot is improving, and his D will improve this year under Mike Brown. Rip is a guy that can hit that mid range J, and with the shorter 3pt line, can give the US a outside shooter. Bibby played great in the 03 qualifers, i think he'd be the perfect pg for the team.
The bench has a mix of guys that can play D, and step out and knock down a wide open jumpshot. Brad Miller adds something to the team that they didn't have in 04 (no, not a white player) a guy that can shoot the 15 footer, while guys like JO and Amare work in the paint. The guards are all decent shooters, Wade being maybe the worst but most explosive and best defender on the wings.

Bowles-Simpson are back with more painful proposals as the March 1 date for automatic budget cuts, known as the sequester, gets closer.
The ideas released on Tuesday by Erskine Bowles, a Democrat who served as former President Bill Clinton's chief of staff, and former Republican Sen. Alan Simpson build on those they offered in 2010 when the men were co-chairs of the deficit reduction committee created by President Barack Obama.
The new proposals are more onerous in some ways than the old ones, which have been mostly ignored by Congress and Obama. "We learned the hard way with our commission, the harder we made (the proposal), the more support we got. It's either go big or go home. This is pathetic," Alan Simpson told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" on Tuesday morning.
Here are portions of the new proposal, dubbed Bowles-Simpson (rather than Simpson-Bowles), that most affect people who are concerned about retirement planning. I'm sure we'll hear more, but this early line comes from a summary of the plan, released on the Bowles-Simpson website, and a joint analysis offered by both the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution.
- Limit contributions to tax-advantaged retirement saving plans, including employer-sponsored salary reduction plans and individual retirement accounts, capping them at 43 percent of their current limits.
- Tax income accrued within defined contribution accounts such as 401(k)s. Interest, dividends and realized capital gains in excess of $6,330 per year would be taxable.
- Income accrued within defined benefit plans -- old-fashioned pensions -- in excess of $177,000 per year would be taxable to the individual beneficiary.
- Increase the Social Security wage base by 2 percent per year more than the growth in the average wage (making the FICA cap $140,100 in 2015).
- Adopt the chained consumer price index, and apply it to cost-of-living increases government-wide with protections for low-income beneficiaries.
These proposals sound like they would make saving for retirement a lot more difficult, especially since the plan also calls for $600 billion in cuts over 10 years to Medicare and Medicaid. That's significantly more than the $400 billion the Obama administration has said it would accept.
The plan also would cut tax deductions for employer-paid health care, which could encourage employers to pay higher wages, and that would raise the amount of money employers pay into the Social Security system. Some analysts have applauded this suggestion as good for ordinary workers.
As we've seen in some of the European nations such as Greece and Spain, failure to control government spending can have horrendous consequences, but contemplating some of these changes in the current U.S. system is pretty horrific as well.

KADUNA, Nigeria, 24 March 2006
APCNews interviewed Ochuko Onoberhie (34) in the Southern Kaduna state of Nigeria. The young man who studied engineering at the University of Benin is from the Fantsuam Foundation [1], an APC affiliated non-profit founded in 1996 in the city of Jos, Nigeria. From the outset, it was known that his group planed the development of a unique computer that could fight the heat, dust and take on the challenging power situation of rural Africa [2]. But Onoberhie reveals details around the 'Solo'.
The new Solo computer is being developed in partnership with a group of software designers based in Great Britain. It is designed to get around the many challenges of operating in Africa, and Fansuam is now field-testing the latest prototype.
It is very tiny, just like a single card from the motherboard of a regular PC and comes with all the same ports and connectors as a PC. The most obvious difference is the wooden case. There are no moving parts to fail, the hard drive is replaced by a flash card and most importantly, it has been specially engineered to work on very limited power supply. A typical PC's power consumption is 300 watts [equivalent to three 100 watts light bulbs], whereas a Solo's, running with the help of a solar panel, is just 8.5 watts.
Where did it got its name from? The computer can be used on its own, without being connected to an electrical grid or power supply. This is why the people behind the project have coined it 'solo', meaning 'alone'. Since it runs on very little energy, the name also plays on words in referring to "so low".
It is meant to take care of unique challenges in developing countries. One of these challenges is the issue of heat and dust that causes computer failure. Then, there is the issue of high humidity and high temperatures. Testing in harsh weather conditions is almost over. "It's currently very close to production. Hopefully, in a few months, we should have a production version ready," he says. "The response has been tremendous", says Onoberhie. "Everybody is waiting for us to get it out."
"It doesn't have any hard-driver with any moving parts. It works on eight-and-half watts. If you can afford a strong UPS [Uninterruptible power supply unit], you can be on for a very long time when the power fails," promises Onoberhie.
Explan [3] of the United Kingdom is Fantsuam's technical partner. They are responsible for design. Although their input is not free of charge, there's another side to the story. "We're looking at the TCO [total cost of ownership] which we hope to be able to bring down. Currently, it would cost USD$ 100 a year, which to us is very cheap, when looked at against the other products in the market. This promises a life of 10-12 years," says Onoberhie.
"The only thing in between you might want to replace, is your battery. These are nickel metal hydride high-temperature batteries. They are the size of a triple A battery and stacked in two sets, in a box with an intelligent processor, which makes it hot-swappable… if needed when one is low on charge," he adds, optimistically.
What are its specs? The ARM processor is going to be at about 500 megahertz, with about 256 megabytes of memory and 2.5 gigabits of flash drive capacity. "It's hoped that data storage will be more external than internal -thorough devices like the USB pen, and flash disks are envisioned. You could plug in a USB CD drive, which it supports. Maybe even find a way to power it externally, if it's necessary," says Onoberhie.
The operating system is GNU/Linux based – Debian Woody – but the production version is going to be on Sarge [a recent release of the community-driven Debian distribution of the GNU/Linux operating system].
Even though a release date is not firmed up yet, it is expected that the Solo will be introduced in Africa to begin with and supported by Fantsuam in Nigeria.

The Solo is being developed with the support of the Catalysing Access to ICTs in Africa (CATIA) programme

Hi there! My name is Leo, I am 20 years old, born and live in Republic of Finland, northernmost EU state. I am a Theravada Buddhist.
And I am completely certain I cannot remain with wordly affairs, seeing the direction world is going towards each passing day.
This is not to say I am somehow mystically better than the world, no, its just that it seems doomed from the get-go. People are told to make money in order to buy goods, be attractive, be fashionable, be desirable and really to pursue things that are of little importance them as far as concepts like truth, purpose and time are concerned. It simply doesn't have all too much value in my eyes. I don't want to waste my time with such world, especially when it makes my Buddhist faith near-impossible to practice. And about that Buddhist faith...
My prime purpose of coming to this site is my now long-lived plan of ordaining in Thailand. Had the situation been different in Myanmar, I would've considered it as well, but you know Myanmar is kinda uh-oh these days. So Thailand works the best for me. However, I know almost nothing about the practical arrangements required. I do know that I must contact a temple and enter one when I am in Thailand, but I doubt practical arrangements are this easy. Correct me if I am wrong though. So, I would greatly appreciate any help concerning:
- Practical authorities-concerning issues, such as visa/passport, right of stay, etc.
- Practical clergy-concerning issues, such as attitudes towards foreigners, temples recommended, financial questions
- Practical tips, such as some advices from people who have underwent the whole thing and became monks.
While any of this might not seem like introduction-related stuff, i just wanted everyone to know my point of being here from the get-go so that people who potentially want to help me can do so rightaway! ^^ Any kind of response, let it be forum reply or PM, its ok!

After nursing several babies over a period of 5 years I know how important a good nursing bra can be. Surprisingly, they aren't always easy to find and getting just the right size can sometimes be difficult. Not only do I like to find a bra (nursing or otherwise) that fits well and is quality made, but also looks nice too. So many bras out there are large, white and unflattering. Is this really necessary? We lose so much of our modesty while nursing children, can't we at least look attractive in the meantime? When I had the opportunity to work with Royce Lingerie I was absolutely delighted at their choices. The styles are fashionable and practical. I had a hard time deciding which style I liked best. I eventually chose the Lauren style nursing bra and short with a black and cream pinstripe design. I have been absolutely thrilled with my choice. The hubby likes it too! It's great that there is no underwire in the nursing bra, but the design of the bra provides ample support. It is not padded, which is a plus in my book. Whenever I'm nursing, I certainly don't need extra padding! The fabric is light and cool against the skin. It is made of a polyamide and cotton blend. I have found that the fabric is very breathable and will be comfortable in the hot summer months. I also love how easy this bra is to adjust. The strap adjustment is easy to manipulate and stays put once you adjust it. Some other bra straps slide during the day and become loose and baggy. I have found that this bra maintains it's shape throghout the entire day. In addition, the nursing clips are very easy to use. I can open and close them with one hand easily, which, as all nursing moms know, is the number one feature of any nursing bra. Did you know that up to 80% of women wear the incorrect bra size? Getting the right size is the key to comfort and support. If you aren't able to get a professional to measure you for the correct size, I highly recommend using the website's handy calculator. This is what I did and it was right on. The fit is perfect and the garments are extremely comfortable and sexy. The boy cut shorts are especially nice because they stay put and don't give you an unflattering line through your clothes. I wear this set all the time. All Royce Nursing bras have:
- Easy and convenient drop cup clips
- 4 eye adjustment for flexible fit
- Carefully chosen fabrics to offer great support and comfort
Royce Lingerie also offers bras for everyday comfort, nursing, pregnancy, and mastectomy. They also have sports bras and bras for teens. Their nursing bras are offered in sizes up to L cup. "All Royce bras are designed in the UK by a team of very experienced designers. Every style is extensively wear tested and comments from testers are taken into consideration and designs adjusted accordingly. This enables us to create styles that fit and support perfectly." Overall impression: I have really been pleased with the products from this company. The quality is great and I love that the nursing bras are fashionable and comfortable. I plan on ordering a couple more styles for myself before my baby is born. If you are in the market for a new bra, Royce Lingerie offers a nice alternative to many of the other brands out there. Royce Lingerie is based out the U.K. but they welcome U.S. customers on their website! They also have a number of retailers in the U.S. You c can find your nearest location here. Follow Royce Lingerie on Facebook for the latest product information. I received a sample of this product to facilitate my review. All opinions expressed are my own.[ad#glam between posts]0

General IZ Info
This site provides some helpful links to prospective owners, tenants, and developers of inclusionary zoning (IZ) units here in the City of Madison.
Land use applications received between July 21, 2006 and December 31, 2008 were governed by a new ordinance (Subsection 26). Land use applications received after January 5, 2009 are not covered by inclusionary zoning.
The inclusionary zoning ordinance was repealed by invocation of a sunset clause, which took effect January 5, 2009. All projects approved prior to this date (to which IZ applied) are still covered by the ordinance in effect at the time of their approval.
All owner-occupied inclusionary units, after the qualifying sale, shall be governed by the new Subsection 26(c)9 — a streamlined option to purchase, and new equity terms. This replaced the former ordinance subsection dealing with an option to purchase and homebuyer terms.
Inclusionary zoning is a policy tool that relies on zoning laws to encourage or require developers to provide affordable units in their new housing developments, usually in exchange for greater flexibility in zoning regulations, or increases in density or other benefits. State laws form the statutory basis for many local governmental zoning powers, and these vary greatly from state to state.
Most inclusionary zoning ordinances deal with the creation of moderately priced dwelling units, not very low income housing such as "public housing". Most ordinances help create new housing units affordable to workers like teachers and nurses and clerical staff, households earning incomes which in the Madison area would translate to incomes of roughly $35,000 to $55,000 per year.
Madison's ordinance stated its purpose as furthering the availability of the range of housing choices for families of all income levels in all areas of the City. The Council acted on the judgment that a full range of housing options promotes diverse and thriving neighborhoods, schools, and communities, and aids in the recruitment and retention of businesses and their employees, each of which contributes to the overall economic well-being of the City.
At the beginning of 2009, the requirements of the IZ ordinance were removed from all future zoning applications.
To achieve these goals, the Council expected that every development meeting the necessary qualifications would offer housing at sales prices affordable to people at 80% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI), adjusted for household size. In return, the City offered a range of incentives to developers, from greater density to consideration for reductions in park fees, to special financial assistance or variances in parking requirements.
The following City agencies were involved in the inclusionary zoning (IZ) process:

Does anyone know how to make capital one stop sending me junk mail?
They're getting my name wrong, my address wrong, and they're offering me a low low rate of 19.8%. Why on earth would I want to do business with these people?
On 4 seperate occasions, they've promised me that they've taken me off their list. I'm still receiving their crap, so either they're lying or incompetant. I'm suspecting both.
Anybody have a solution?

Football union chief Gene Upshaw dies at 63
Email Share
Digg Facebook Newsvine del.icio.us Reddit StumbleUpon Technorati Yahoo! Bookmarks Print By DAVE GOLDBERG, AP Football Writer Dave Goldberg, Ap Football Writer 35 mins ago AP In this Thursday, Jan. 31, 2008 file photo, Gene Upshaw, executive director of the National Football
Slideshow: NFL players' union chief Gene Upshaw dies NEW YORK Gene Upshaw, the Hall of Fame guard who as union head helped get NFL players free agency and the riches that came with it, has died. He was 63.
Upshaw's death was announced by the NFL Players Association, which he headed for a quarter century.
His outstanding 15-season playing career was entirely with the Oakland Raiders and included two Super Bowl wins and seven Pro Bowl appearances. Upshaw's biography was posted on the front page of the Hall of Fame Web site Thursday along with his enshrinement speech from 1987.
In 1983, he became executive director of the players' association and guided it through the 1987 strike that led to replacement football. By 1989, the players had a limited form of freedom, called Plan B, and in 1993, free agency and a salary cap were instituted.
Since then, the players have prospered so much that NFL owners recently opted out of the latest labor contract, which was negotiated two years ago by Upshaw and then-commissioner Paul Tagliabue.
Upshaw was criticized by some for not being tough enough in negotiations with Tagliabue, a close friend of the union head. He also was blamed by many older veterans for not dealing sufficiently with their health concerns.
But the salary cap for this season is $116 million and the players are making close to 60 percent of the 32 teams' total revenues, as

PATIENTS had to be turned away as Darent Valley Hospital temporarily closed for the first time in its history.
For six-and-a-half hours the hospital stopped GPs and ambulance crews from referring or dropping off patients after it reached full capacity.
All 463 beds were taken between 5am to 11.30am on Thursday (January 3), but children and those visiting A&E on foot were still seen.
The extreme measure has been blamed on the healthcare debacle in south London.
Mark Fittock, a director of patient watchdog Kent LINk, said Darent Valley has become a "pinch point" since Queen Mary's Hospital in Sidcup closed its A&E in 2010.
He told News Shopper: "Services are generally being pushed from south east London out to north Kent.
"There is a severe lack of hospitals now. It's a concern to the general public.
"Unless people actually flag it up, it will keep happening."
A Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust spokesman said the closure of the hospital was due to a surge in patients over the busy Christmas and New Year period, particularly elderly people with respiratory problems.
However, Mr Fittock, who lives in Swanley, believes this is not an acceptable excuse.
He said: "Christmas comes around every year, in terms of staff and beds they should be able to plan ahead and deal with it. The hospital's never shut before.
"Where's the nearest hospital? It's a long way for anyone else to go."
Ambulance crews had the choice of Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham, Maidstone Hospital, and Tunbridge Wells Hospital.
Dr David Woodhead, clinical accountable officer for Dartford, Gravesham and Swanley Clinical Commissioning Group, said: "This is the busiest time of year for the NHS and Darent Valley Hospital reached its full capacity.
"The hospital therefore had to close for a short time until beds became available.
"Throughout the short closure we liaised closely with all our partners at other hospitals in the region, the ambulance service, Kent County Council and GP surgeries to manage the current demand effectively."

Workhorse Rice mindful of getting enough rest
On pace for Mets record in appearances, reliever honest about arm status
NEW YORK -- Just because Mets manager Terry Collins has used Scott Rice out of the bullpen seemingly without discretion, it does not mean he is deaf to the limitations of muscles and tendons. Collins approached Rice earlier this season with a message: "Heroes die fast here."
"If you want to go out there, and you think you're hurt and you're going to try to get through it because you're going to be a tough guy, your career in the big leagues is going to be cut short," Collins said. "So be honest with us."
The situation is tricky with Rice, who toiled in professional baseball for 14 years before receiving his first shot at the Majors. Desperate to stay in the big leagues, Rice may be more susceptible to taking the ball at less than 100 percent than a pitcher with better job security.
But he also understands that he cannot pitch every day -- despite entering Wednesday's game against the Reds on pace for a franchise-record 98 appearances.
"Coming up through the Minor Leagues, it's the same deal," Rice said. "It's a fine line between being smart and preparing yourself. My whole thing with it is, if I can get myself ready to throw and help the team win a game, I'm going to do that every day."
Rice, whose current run of four straight scoreless appearances has lowered his ERA to 2.91, said he is usually most sore two days after an outing. He believes his arm responds best to throwing every day, which prevents him from experiencing that soreness.
Thankfully, Rice said, he has not endured any notable arm trouble this season.
"I think that's why I've been successful as a reliever more so than as a starter," Rice said. "I've always had that ability to recover quickly."

This is one of my favorite 'tools of the trade.' It is a magnetic pin cushion, although there's nothing really cushion-y about it. I have seen them referred to as pin holders, pin grabbers, and pin dishes as well, but I still call mine a pin cushion. I own a few actual pin cushions, the soft, pillow-type ones that you poke pins and needles into. I keep them because of their sentimental value–having been made by various family members–but I use the magnetic one almost exclusively.
I like that I can toss pins toward it while I'm sewing on the machine. I don't have to stop and aim and get the point of the pin into a cushion. I can just pull and toss the pin in one movement while I continue sewing.
I also use the cushion to pick up pins, more than one at a time. For example, when I'm finished cutting something out using a pattern, I simply pull all the pins and leave them lying on the pattern. Then I sweep over the pins with the magnetic pin cushion to pick them all up. Or when I drop a pin on the floor, I can just hold the pin cushion down near it, and it
magically magnetically pulls it up off the floor.
You can find these little beauties in a rainbow of colors and a multitude of shapes at just about any fabric or craft store.
