text: Hi, I tried to be a bit of help in flushing old policy entries. The purpose of this mail is to identify any entry that's easy flushable. So, if anyone disagrees, that's enough for me to not flush them. "Flush" for the bugs below means to tag them fixed (and close them after half a year). Furthermore, I intend to close any bug that's been marked "fixed" for at least half a year. I've started going through the bug list, and made my annotations to each bug. Any comments are welcome. #226373 Provides: apache should be set to wishlist #32263 [PENDING AMENDMENT 20/01/2000] Splitting cgi-bin well, that's too much history for me. Either do it, or don't do it, but decide on it. #218530 Suboptimal conditional rune for initscripts Should be done IMHO (refers to Section 126.96.36.199), and is just changing example code; means: retitle to PROPOSAL first #218893 debian/rules.version file [Fix for the build-arch problem] Add some special way so that dpkg-buildpackage can figure out what targets are there. Well, proper way would be to set severity to wishlist and wait whether someone makes a proposal out of it. #222553 policy 11.5.3 refers to using the menu package to register docs very fresh; should IMHO be wishlist until it's a proposal and has two seconds. #222779 debian-policy: [PROPOSAL] deb specifications and signed debs extension well, missing a deb specification _is_ a bug IMHO; but unless it's seconded by at least two DDs it should be wishlist. Furthermore, it's so difficult that we really need a text first before putting it to the next stage. (BTW, consider me to be one sponsor of it.) #224770 debian-policy: incorrect tar example deb manipulation typo; already pending #235484 debian-policy: Broken link to WM specification broken link; should be commited w/o ado #77960 Origin and Bugs are undocumented (same as #58340, #78012) well, should really be done. Text by anyone? #129131 add kderemove to allowed tags in menu subpolicy newly assigned from lintian; are we responsible also for that subpolicy? Otherwise, it seems sane to me, but I know almost nothing about menus. #227762 Typo / Language in section 3.10 improving the language; do it (except that I can't judge about good and bad english ;) #232364 debian-policy: Spelling inconsistency man page -> manpage do it (except that I can't judge about good and bad english ;) #35762 lintian could check for hardcoded --infodir in maintaner scripts last changed 2001 -> flush it #39825 menu: There should be a Apps/Mail section last changed 2002 -> flush it #47438 [PROPOSAL] update policy copyright last changed 2001 -> flush it #48050 skeleton maintainer scripts reassigned in Oct 2003; was also last change -> flush it #50565 packaging-manual: update dpkg-shlibdeps example in 3.1.4 removed fixed in Nov 03; keep it for the moment #51832 packaging-manual: Architecture setting: more information removed fixed in Nov 03; keep it for the moment (#55356 is the same) #65577 [Amended] copyright should include notice if a package is not a part of Debian distribution last change in 2000 -> flush it #68827 packaging-manual: packaging manual should refer to gpg instead of pgp last change in Nov 03; however, I'd like to retitle it as proposal. #70742 packaging-manual: doesn't list Format: field removed fixed in Nov 03; keep it for the moment #75508 packaging-manual: a wrong example removed fixed in Nov 03; keep it for the moment #75988 should suggest to add upstream URLs somewhere (probably Description:) removed fixed in Nov 03; keep it for the moment actually, the developers reference recommend that, and I think that's the proper place #77400 [PROPOSAL] require packages to disable /etc/logrotate.d files on removal last change 2000 -> flush it #78341 [PROPOSAL] Full text of GPL must be included last change 2000 -> flush it #79210 .orig.tar.gz definition and reality are out of sync removed fixed in Nov 03; keep it for the moment #80343 [PROPOSAL] policy should say no files should be owned by "nobody" last (negative) mail was in Aug 03 -> flush it #82310 Provides: java-servlet-engine last mail in Aug 03; however, Java support is just getting better, so I would keep it for the moment #84473 please document typical 'hints' and where to find them last in Feb 03; however, it's a valid request to document them.

The day before I took 4.4.4 OTA, flashed TWRP, rooted, backed up the ROM. All turned out fine.
Now when it boots it gets about 80% of the way through the boot animation and then it goes black and nothing ever happens. So I went into recovery and attempted to flash my backup but it fails. NO!!! It says cannot mount \system. Now I cannot wipe anything and I can't mount anything and I cant flash any ROMs.
I have tried flashing back to stock using some unbricking articles, but they all result the same way.
I think I need to reflash the gpt.bin for 4.4.4, but I can't find one. I am open to any ideas, and let me know if you need any other info.
Thanks XDA community!

Cameron Diaz Performs Surgery On Jon Stewart: Late Last Night
I admit it, I'm not the bravest person when it comes to watching surgeries. Squeamish is an understatement. So, when I saw Cameron Diaz removing Jon Stewart's stitches, I nearly threw up. A manly man, I am.
Keith Olbermann was on-hand last night on Letterman to deliver the Top Ten Reasons Why You Should Watch Keith Olbermann's New Show. How convenient. Not being one for politics, I'm not too familiar with Mr. Olbermann's style, but does he always look like he wants to rip your head off?
Meanwhile on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Charlie Day showed off some crazy tattoos some of his fans have gotten. Knowing the kinds of people that watch It's Always Sunny, those weren't the craziest he's seen. Those were just the ones he could show on network television.
MUSIC BREAK! Florence and the Machine were on The Colbert Report and you should definitely rock out to 'Dog Days Are Over' even though it's been on pretty much every commercial for the past six months.
MORE MUSIC/COMEDY! Now I could've shown you the clip of Larry the Cable Guy on Conan last night but I respect you too much. Instead, we have Reggie Watts doing his odd combination of music/comedy/improv. It's kind of crazy that even with a few band members backing him up, he's still a living one man band.

Weight loss seems to be the most common and popular topic today, and there has been a significant increase in the number of new products arriving in the market, all catering to weight loss and low calories. Healthy diet options are now being introduced and more and more people are embracing it wonderfully. Read below to know more about some wonderful benefits and proper dosage of oatstraw.
What is Oatstraw?
Herbs and foods can help naturally reduce weight, and also help treat particular health conditions, especially oatstraw. Read on to know more about the benefits, side effects, reviews and dosage of oatstraw.
How does Oatstraw Work?
Oatstraw is laden with beneficial components and substances that help provide essential nutrients to the body and maintain overall health
Benefits of Oatstraw
Oatstraw includes both-the oats and the stalk i.e. the entire plant. Oats alone have been widely used as a breakfast option for diet conscious people, but studies suggest that oatstraw contains much higher vitamin A and vitamin C levels than oats alone. Read below to learn more about the different benefits of oatstraw.
Benefits For The Musculoskeletal System
Oatstraw, being a rich source of calcium, is excellent for bone development and maintenance of the musculoskeletal system. It has also been used widely as a natural treatment for joint pain.
Oatstraw For Blood Sugar
Both oats and oatstraw are highly efficient in controlling blood sugar levels. This can be quite beneficial for patients suffering from diabetes.
Oatstraw For Cholesterol
high blood cholesterol levels are common today, due to an increased consumption of processed foods loaded with unhealthy fats. Oatstraw can be used as an effective treatment for patients having high blood cholesterol levels, particularly those suffering from arthrosclerosis.Oatstraw is loaded with anti inflammatory, antioxidant and cholesterol lowering properties which make it one of the best foods for patients suffering from heart diseases.
Oatstraw For Mental Ailments
Oatstraw extracts are also known for their efficiency in improving memory and concentration. A research published in the 'Journal of Alternative and Complementary medicine' showed that oatstraw may increase cognitive power among some patients.
Other Uses Of Oatstraw
Apart from all these, oatstraw consumption is also known to have added benefits. Some of them include relief from fever, sores, and ulcers, swelling of tissues, toothache, circulation problems, muscle cramps, symptoms of cancer and more. Oatstraw extracts can also be used as a tonic and a stimulant.
For some patients, oatstraw is thought to stimulate increased sexual response and reduce uterine pain, vaginal dryness, bladder spasms, incontinence, headaches, erratic sleep patterns, circulatory problems and ailments of the pancreas and liver.
Side Effects Of Oatstraw
Overconsumption of oatstraw could lead to certain serious problems including stomach and bowel problems, digestive tract infections, irritable bowel syndrome and more.Pregnant women are advised to avoid consumption of oatstraw during their pregnancy period.
Drug Interactions of Oatstraw
Just like any other herbal remedy, oatstraw does have a few drug interactions which can be harmful if not paid attention to. oatstraw extracts may also interfere with the functioning of certain medications.
Proper Dosage for Oatstraw
proper dosage is essential for consumption of oatstraw to avoid any possible side effects. Visit a nutritionist to determine the appropriate dosage for oatstraw. If you are currently under medication, especially if you are consuming antacids, proton pump inhibitors and h2-blockers, avoid consuming oatstraw as it may interfere with the functioning of the medications.
Oatstraw has a wide range of uses in the treatment of many conditions. It is among the best diet options for those aiming for weight loss in a natural way.

UNESCO Dhaka participated actively in GAW 2012 preparation and celebration. Bangladesh celebrated GAW 2012 in all the 64 districts mobilizing more than 400,000 people demanding ECCE for healthy, safe and joyful childhood for all children.
The national highlight event of GAW 2012 was the Big Picture undertaken in all the 64 districts on 25 April 2012. Asadujjaman Nur, Member Parliamentary committee for primary and mass education, A K M Abdul Awal Majumder, Secretary MOPME, inaugurated the Big Picture event. A number of celebrities were also present during the event. Children, parents, officials and other stakeholders' participation was ensured. The celebration was organized by Bangladesh Shishu Academy (BSA), members of Bangladesh ECD Network (BEN), Campaign for Popular Education (CAMPE) and other international organizations like UNICEF, UNESCO, PLAN Bangladesh, Save the Children, Aga Khan Foundation to accelerate the support towards ECCE. Special thanks to the Ministries of Primary & Mass Education and Women & Children Affairs for their support and cooperation. Posters with GAW 2012 slogan were distributed country wide.
The details of the Big Picture event are available at
In Dhaka, a policy round table was organized at BSA on 26 April and the BIG PICTURE, Puppet show and Local drama (Jatra) on 28 April, to highlight the importance of Safe, Healthy and Joyful Childhood. CAMPE in partnership with others involved in ECCE organized this event.
A short documentary based on this event Anondomoy Shoishob - Shishur Odhikar was broadcasted on May 7 on Desh TV at 6 pm.

Walnut Creek CA (SPX) Aug 25, 2008
As Aesop said, appearances are deceiving-even in life's tiniest critters. From first detection in the 1880s, clinging to the sides of an aquarium, to its recent characterization by the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI), a simple and primitive animal, Trichoplax adhaerens, appears to harbor a far more complex suite of capabilities than meets the eye.
The findings, reported in the August 21 online edition of the journal Nature, establish a group of organisms as a branching point of animal evolution and identify sets of genes, or a "parts list," employed by organisms that have evolved along particular branches.
With each sequenced genome, another dataset is made available to advance the quest of evolutionary biologists seeking to reconstruct the tree of life. The analysis of the 98 million base pair genome of Trichoplax (literally "hairy-plate") illuminates its ancestral relationship to other animals.
Trichoplax is the sole member of the placozoan ("tablet," or "flat" animal) phylum, whose relationship to other animals, such as bilaterians (humans, flies, worms, snails, et al) and cnidarians (jellyfish, sea anemones, corals, et al), and sponges is contentious.
"Our whole genome analysis supports placing the placozoans after the sponge lineage branched from other animals," said Daniel Rokhsar, the publication's senior author, DOE JGI's head of Computational Genomics Program, and Professor of Genetics, Genomics and Development at the University of California, Berkeley.
"Trichoplax has had just as much time to evolve as humans, but because of its morphological simplicity, it is tempting to think of it as a surrogate for an early animal," said Mansi Srivastava, the study's first author, a graduate student under the direction of Rokhsar, at the Center for Integrative Genomics, U.C. Berkeley.
Earlier mitochondrial DNA studies suggested that this "mother of all metazoans," Trichoplax, was the earliest branch, before sponges diverged, but this remains debatable-even among collaborators.
"The latest and most complex analysis again suggests that placozoans populated the oceans long before sponges evolved," said Bernd Schierwater, director of the Institute of Animal Ecology and Cell Biology and head of the Center for Biodiversity at TiHo Hannover, Germany.
"The outcome of the Trichoplax adhaerens genome sequencing is so exciting that we are now culturing another 13 placozoan species in order to identify the most basal placozoan lineage and genome," said Schierwater.
"Trichoplax is an ancient lineage-a good representation of the ancestral genome that is shedding light of the kinds of genes, the structures of genes, and even how these genes were arranged on the genome in the common ancestor 600 million years ago," said Srivastava. "It has retained a lot of primitive features relative to other living animals."
Originally collected from the Red Sea, and cultured over the last 40 years in the laboratory, Trichoplax is a two-millimeter flat disk containing fluid sandwiched between two cell layers. It lacks organs and only has four or five cell types. Yet, despite its apparent simplicity, its genome encodes a panoply of signaling genes and transcription factors usually associated with more complex animals.
Trichoplax has no neurons, but has many genes that are associated with neural function in more complex animals. "It lacks a nervous system, but it still is able to respond to environmental stimuli. "It has genes, such as ion channels and receptors, that we associate with neuronal functions, but no neurons have ever been reported," explained Rokhsar.
Of the 11,514 genes identified in the six chromosomes of Trichoplax, 80 percent are shared with cnidarians and bilaterians. Trichoplax also shares over 80 percent of its introns-the regions within genes that are not translated into proteins-with humans. Even the arrangement of genes is conserved between the Trichoplax and human genomes.
This stands in contrast to other model systems such as fruit flies and soil nematodes that have experienced a paring down of non-coding regions and a loss of the ancestral genome organizations.
With its pancake shape, gutless feeding, and genomic primitiveness, the rich array of metabolic capabilities begs additional consideration. While it has been observed to motor around via cilia, eat by mounting its prey, and reproduce by fission (pulling itself into pieces)-it may in fact have a secret sex life.
"Some of our new placozoan species show frequent sexual reproduction while others never show any signs of sex," said Schierwater. "The genome data allow us to search for the genes responsible for sex and life cycle complexity."
"It's remarkable that we have the whole genome sequence but we still know so little about this animal in the wild," said Rokhsar. "Hopefully the genome sequence will stimulate more studies of this enigmatic creature."

Hi is it possible to Group by array contents? I have been stuck for some time trying all manner of things.
I am trying to group by the distinct values in the arrays rather than the actual distinct arrays. I have tried DbRef custom objects etc. They are of an undetermined size so need to be a collection of some sort. I also had a go with map reduce also but that was as much of a success.
It does appear to be a function of MongoDB

The University of Georgia Research Foundation hunkered down Friday, moving to limit expenses in the face of declining income.
The dollar amount of federal research grants UGA investigators earn has increased modestly over the past decade, UGA vice president for research David Lee said Friday.
But UGA research funding could slip this year and next because of declining federal budgets, Lee told board members of the foundation, meeting in UGA's Georgia Center for Continuing Education.
UGA got about $134 million in federal research funding in 2004, about $160 million in the 2013 fiscal year, according to a graph Lee showed the board.
Income the foundation receives from licensing UGA scientists' discoveries is also less than it once was.
In 2009, the research foundation got $30.5 million in licensing income, mostly from a formula for dry-eye treatment developed by Renee Kaswan, a former professor in UGA's College of Veterinary Medicine.
Licensing income dropped to $6.7 million in 2010 as the dry-eye agreement expired, but has risen slightly in the past couple of years, to $7.5 million in 2012 and $8.3 million in the 2013 fiscal year.
The foundation built up reserves of $37 million when income was better, but has been dipping into those reserves under a course that would spend all but $11.5 million of that reserve by 2018, according to a budget analysis Lee showed the board.
But a plan Lee presented, approved by the board, would keep $26 million of the reserves in accounts that would be treated like an endowment, where about half the income earned from investments is re-invested.
The rest could be spent on the research foundation's mission of promoting research at UGA, about $1 million a year, Lee said.
But the foundation should reach into its funds to the tune of about $5 million to boost the growth of a new Center for Molecular Medicine, plus $10.5 million, spread out over four years to pay for a special hiring initiative to attract top researchers to the university, according to Lee's budget report.
In addition, UGA, using state dollars, will begin assuming some bills the foundation has been footing such as nearly $2 million in lab equipment and other such start-up cost for new hires.
"We have a lot of challenges facing the research enterprise at this time," said UGA President Jere Morehead, who is chairman of the research foundation's board of directors.
The future still is bright for UGA research, he said, citing the state Board of Regents' approval of a proposed Science Learning Center on the UGA campus.
The building will provide teaching laboratory space for students, freeing up some labs now used for teaching to be converted into research laboratories.
But a UGA goal right now is simply to hang on to its share as dollars for research in the federal budget decline, he said.
"We've got to make sure we keep our share," he said.

Subject: Re: Princess Hobbit Artwork
by JonClark on 2011/2/25 0:22:47
I was able to make a deal with the same seller you bought from to buy his remaining Princess Hobbit art. He had 8 illustrations total and I felt like I got a great deal. I have not got them yet, but when I do I will post some photos. Maybe Marquette University will want them (they should if I am giving them out) lol. We will see. If I think they will take care of them, then that is were they should go. Of course, whichever one is my favorite might end up on my wall for a year or so before I start giving away stuff I just bought.

Who was the Tertius mentioned in Romans 16:22? Some input please. Was this another name for Paul, the apostle?
Who was the Tertius mentioned in Romans 16:22? Some input please. Was this another name for Paul, the apostle?
It's my understanding Tertius was a sort of secretary for Paul. He wrote down what Paul directed him to. Sort of a scribe.
using my Esword....
Barnes commentary:
Rom 16:22
I Tertius - Of Tertius nothing more is known than is mentioned here.
Who wrote this - It is evident that Paul employed an amanuensis to write this Epistle, and perhaps he commonly did it. Tertius, who thus wrote it, joins with the apostle in affectionate salutations to the brethren at Rome. To the Epistle, Paul signed his own name, and added a salutation in his own hand-writing. Col_4:18, "The salutation by the hand of me Paul;" and in 2Th_3:17, he says that this was done in every epistle, 1Co_16:21.
From John Gill's commentary:
Rom 16:22 I Tertius, who wrote this epistle,.... This name is a Latin one, and perhaps the person might be a Roman, for the names Secundus, Tertius, Quartus, Quintus, &c. were common with the Romans; unless it may be thought, as it is by some, that this man was the same with Silas, who was a constant companion of the apostle; and the Hebrew word שלש is the same as Tertius; he also is numbered among the seventy disciples, and said to be bishop of Iconium; See Gill on Luk_10:1. Whosoever he was, it is certain he was an amanuensis of the apostle, who wrote this letter, either from the apostle's notes, or from his mouth.
Thanks very much Gabby and Icebear!
Wow!I didn't even realize he existed!It seemed like there were also others who were scribes for Paul,which has always made me wonder if maybe Paul still had something wrong with his eyes?Like from when Jesus temporarily blinded him on the road to Damascus and this could have been his "thorn in the flesh",because that would have been "very frustrating" for him not to be able to write given all the revelation he was receiving.Just speculation on my part.....

Last week we told you about the standoff between members of Anonymous and the Mexican drug cartel Los Zetas. The cartel had kidnapped an Anonymous member, Anonymous then said it had procured thousands of names of Zetas members and accomplices and planned to release them online even if doing so meant those people or Anonymous members themselves would be killed. It was all supposed to happen on Saturday but it didn't.
The Register thinks the whole story is a little fishy:
A statement from Anonymous Iberoamerica states that the still unnamed member of the collective was freed, adding that "although bruised, we can say he is safe and well". Los Zetas are as well-known for kidnap and murder as they are for drug running in their native Mexico. They kidnap victims for money and those they can't turn a swift profit on are usually killed.
The idea that the narcotraficantes may have responded to the threat of being outed by Anonymous by releasing a kidnap victim strains credulity to breaking point. The lack of details on when the supposed kidnap victim might have been taken makes the whole story even less plausible. The kidnapping supposedly happened during a leafleting campaign in the Mexican state of Veracruz but, as The Guardian reports, the last such protest occurred months ago and there's no evidence of any police reports of an abduction.

My gosh I have been so short on time lately. Don't you all hate when work consumes so much of your time? I tell you a slow cooker can be your best friend when you just don't have the time to fiddle with dinner. But, folks, even better than a slow cooker recipe is one with only five ingredients.
If you are like me, and you made homemade teriyaki sauce, by all means, use it, if not, store-bought works quite well.
Just between you and me, I am not a fan of shredded chicken. That's why this recipe is a real keeper. Take the few extra minutes to cut into bite sized pieces. It just tastes better to me. A teriyaki glaze has such incredible flavor. Lucky for me it just so happens to be the hubby's favorite sauce.
Next time you want a gourmet-style dish without all of the fuss, pull out your slow cooker and whip up this delicious teriyaki chicken dish. I will warn you up front. Double the recipe. It's that good. The best thing is you let the slow cooker do all the work. Carry on with business as usual.
This week's theme for #SundaySupper is coming at just the perfect time. Five Ingredients or Less? Gotta love that. Our host this week is TR from Gluten-Free Crumbly.
- 16 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground Pepper
- 1/2 cup Teriyaki Sauce
- 1/8 cup Dark Soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds
- 1 Tablespoon Arrowroot (or corn starch)
- green onions for garnish
- Place chicken in bottom of slow cooker
- In a small bowl combine the resting of the ingredients except the arrowroot (or corn starch if using) and the green onions.
- Pour sauce over chicken in the slow cooker.
- Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low 6-8 hours.
- When chicken is cooked through remove lid and stir in the arrowroot or corn starch into chicken and sauce and stir until combined. Let cook until sauce thickens. (about 10 minutes)
- Sprinkle with green onions and serve over rice or zoodles.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

an armoire to organize craft supplies
i love the idea of adding an interesting back panel to cabinets, so kimberly's hack on a plain pine stranda wardrobe (left) is really working for me.
first, she stained the pine black and layered on polyurethane. then, kimberly wrapped the fiberboard back with a few yards of vintage black and white print fabric. the wardrobe was then assembled as per instructions.
the final touches were the hardware on the doors – hammered, silver knobs from anthropologie. nice!

love the fabric design, where did you get it from?
Nice!! Where did you find the paper with that pattern on it?
Oh! Nice work! I like this very much. Stylish! I want one! Wanna run to my local Ikea right away and grab something and paint it!
Love this! It's awesome and she did a great job!
well done! stylish and practical.

Americans are awash in information from myriad sources — newspapers, magazines, radio, TV and the exponentially expanding digital galaxy. But often the right information is not getting to the right people, a new study shows. "News deserts" are beginning to crop up across the American landscape.
The research was conducted for the Federal Communications Commission, which wanted to take stock of people's basic information needs and see how they are being met.
Despite the proliferation of technology that seems to shrink the world by the hour, Americans' lives are still grounded in the communities where they live, and they require a set of basic information to navigate daily life, said Lewis Friedland, one of the study researchers.
It appears that those needs are not being met because of a disconnect between available communications vehicles and the audiences that need that information, said Friedland, a professor in the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
As an example, Friedland cited a tornado that struck in Texas. Officials knew the tornado was coming but could not alert many members of the community because there was no local Spanish-language radio or TV station in the threatened area.
"We're seeing news deserts start to emerge in different areas of the U.S.," Friedland told BusinessNewsDaily. "The problem is when you get these gaps in local areas, it's like any other ecology: You get a vicious spiral. People become less informed and then they become less engaged."
[Digital Overload: Too Much Technology Takes a Toll]
Friedland, Ernest Wilson, dean of the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, and Philip Napoli, a professor at Fordham University, led the research, which the FCC commissioned in order to identify the American public's information needs, as well as barriers into participation in the communication industry.
"We wanted to look at the kinds of things that most Americans in most American communities would need to live," Friedland said.
The study determined there are forms of information necessary for people to live safe and healthy lives; have full access to educational, employment and business opportunities; and fully participate in civic life in their communities. To meet those needs, communities need access to information about emergencies and risks; health and welfare; quality of local schools; transportation, including alternatives and schedules; economic opportunities, including job listings and training; the environment, along with air and water quality; and civic and political information.
Gaps in the information process are not due to a lack of raw material. "The question is if it's being offered in an accessible and useful form," Friedland said.

"Time Pieces" By Jason Goldwatch: Young Buck in Cuba
Take a trip through Castro's land with the Cashville emcee.
I ride for Buck. That's my neighbor. We traveled around the Earth together and he's straight up one of the the fucking realest, G'ist, calculated, completely not giving a fuckest humans I've ever kicked it with. I would even go as far to say he taught me a few things in my more formative years about 'NOT GIVING A SINGLE FUCK, and gassing towards BRAVERY.'
Shout out to my man, Grand Wizard dude-bro Young Buck, Neighbors With Attitude, and my neighbor for life.

A 19-year-old man has died in hospital after a downtown shooting that is under investigation by the province's police watchdog.
Police say Naveed Shahnawaz, of Brampton, died in hospital early Friday morning after being shot around 3 a.m. Sunday outside the Muzik night club at the Canadian National Exhibition grounds.
The Special Investigations Unit says officers responding to gunshots being fired in an altercation in the club's parking lot shot at a Honda Accord as it left the area.
It says Mr. Shahnawaz was hit in the chest and arm during the incident, while an 18-year-old in the vehicle was shot in the arm.
Three Toronto men were charged Monday in connection with the shooting, while the force's homicide squad began investigating the incident Friday.
Eighteen-year-old Tony Dinh is charged with two counts of attempted murder with a firearm, assault with a weapon and other charges, while 19-year-old Jonathan Lau faces charges including dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
Hoan Nguyen, 26, has been charged with one count of assault.
Police say an autopsy of Mr. Shahnawaz will be scheduled.
Mr. Dinh is set to appear in court next Thursday.
The SIU is an arm's length agency that investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.

Netanyahu to UN Chief: Upcoming Gaza flotilla must be stopped
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon Friday to stop the impending flotilla that is supposed to set sail to the Gaza Strip in May.
The Israeli prime minister told the UN Chief that the flotilla is being organized by extreme Islamists that are interested only in provocation. He added that the ship's key goal is to fuel tensions, particularly in light of the fact that the Gaza Strip is open to all types of goods brought in via land.
"Hamas is a terrorist organization and Iranian proxy," Netanyahu said, adding that "it was just recently revealed that part of Iran's efforts is to arm [Hamas] and smuggle weapons into the strip."
The prime minister then reminded the UN Chief of the recent incident of the Victoria ship earlier this month, upon which tens of tons of weapons from Iran were found and confiscated by Israel. Netanyahu told Ban that this is proof that Israel must act aggressively against the flotilla.

IWC football picked 7th in preseason poll
The Iowa Wesleyan College football team is ranked No. 7 of 10 teams in its first year as part of the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC). The Tigers received 29 points in the coaches' preseason poll. The College of St. Scholastic is slated as the No. 1 team in the poll, receiving five first place votes and 76 points.
The Tigers enter the new era of the program, looking to a small but strong core of veterans to lead the team while looking for several newcomers to make an impact early as well.
"We're in a building stage and a solid foundation is stated to be in place this year," said Head Coach Tom Parkevich. "We will be very young, but the future looks bright and our players are expecting to win. Because we're young, we'll make some mistakes due to our inexperience, but our main goal is to be competitive every Saturday and give ourselves a chance to come away with a win."

Compilation Show«archive page
Guest Information
Stephanie Davis
Stephanie Davis is a fourth-generation Montanan who spent several years fine-tuning her singing and songwriting skills in Nashville, and having her songs recorded by artists like Garth Brooks, Roger Whittaker, Martina McBride and Shelby Lynn. Davis not only sings and writes music, she also plays multiple instruments and has released two self-produced albums, River of No Return and I'm Pullin' Through, on her own label, Recluse Records. Davis has worked with her friend Garth Brooks and his touring band on several occasions and in 1994 she opened all of his shows for the year.

Donald Hall
By the time he reached his teens, Donald Hall knew that he wanted to write for a living. And that's what he's done—dozens of books of poetry and prose, including The Painted Bed, Without, The Best Day the Worst Day, String Too Short to Be Saved, and the children's stories Ox-Cart Man and When Willard Met Babe Ruth. From 1984 to 1989, he served as New Hampshire's poet laureate, and in 2006, the Library of Congress appointed him the nation's poet laureate. Donald Hall's latest book of poetry, White Apples and the Taste of Stone, was published by Houghton Mifflin in 2006. His 2007 book Eagle Farm (Mariner/Houghton Mifflin) brings together all of his writing on Eagle Pond Farm, the ancestral home in Wilmot, New Hampshire, where Hall has lived for more than 30 years.
Rob Fisher
A recognized authority on American music and musical theater, Rob Fisher spent four seasons leading the Coffee Club Orchestra for Garrison Keillor's American Radio Company. He is creator and artistic director of the annual Lyrics and Lyricist series at the 92nd Street Y. For his work as music director and conductor of the Tony Award-winning Encores! series at New York's City Center, he was presented the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Special Achievement. As guest artist, he has led major symphony orchestras coast to coast.
Ruth Brown
Born Ruth Weston in Portsmouth, Virginia, soul singer Ruth Brown started singing at the local church, where her father was choir director. In 1945, she ran away from home to go on the road with singer-trumpeter Jimmy Brown, whom she soon married. After a one-month stint singing with big-band leader Lucky Millinder, Brown found a job singing at the Crystal Caverns, a Washington, D.C. club operated by Blanche Calloway, sister of Cab Calloway. Brown's appearances at the Crystal Caverns eventually landed her an audition with a new label called Atlantic Records. In 1949, she recorded the soon-to-be-hit "So Long," which was followed by chart-toppers such as "[Mama,] He Treats Your Daughter Mean," "Oh, What a Dream," and "Mambo Baby." By the mid-'50s Ruth Brown had become one of the biggest-selling black female recording artists and her star continued to rise with songs like "Lucky Lips," before walking away from the spotlight in the '60s to become a fulltime mom. In 1976, Brown's old friend, Redd Foxx got her to move to L.A. to play Mahalia Jackson in Selma, a civil-rights musical that Foxx was producing. She got back into the world of song and screen, and was cast in the sitcom Hello Larry by renowned television producer Norman Lear and in the cult film Hairspray by director John Waters. Brown has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and awarded with a Tony for her performance in the musical Black and Blue, and a Grammy for her album Blues on Broadway. In 1990, her hometown of Portsmouth re-named Second Street in her honor: it's now known as Ruth Brown Avenue. Brown's much-publicized legal battle with Atlantic Records over back royalties led to an amicable settlement that established the Rhythm and Blues Foundation. Brown, with writer Andrew Yule, penned Miss Rhythm: The Autobiography of Ruth Brown, Rhythm and Blues Legend (Penguin Books, 1996). Her newest CD is Ruth Brown live at Ronnie Scott's in London (Jazz House/Magnum Records), recorded at the prestigious Euopean jazz nightclub. Joining Brown tonight are Bobby Forrester (keyboards), Rodney Jones (guitar), and Akira Tana (drums).
Most kids badger their parents for the latest games and toys. Not Philip Brunelle. When he was six, he wanted the vocal score to Handel's "Messiah." Now an internationally renowned conductor, choral scholar and performer, he is the founder and artistic director of the acclaimed VocalEssence Ensemble Singers — core of the full VocalEssence Chorus, 130 voices in all. The Minneapolis-based group has received the ASCAP/ Chorus America Award for adventurous programming of contemporary music an unprecedented five times, and was awarded the Margaret Hillis Achievement Award for Choral Excellence. They just returned from a tour of England, part of the celebration of their 40th season. The World Beloved: A Bluegrass Mass (Clarion) is among their recent recordings.
Garrison Keillor
Garrison Keillor was born in Anoka, graduated from the University of Minnesota ('66), and lives in St. Paul. He is the author of numerous books, including Life Among the Lutherans (Augsburg Books) and Pilgrims: A Wobegon Romance (Viking), and the editor of several anthologies of poetry, including Good Poems: American Places (Viking).
The Guy's All-Star Shoe Band
The Guy's All-Star Shoe Band is led by A Prairie Home Companion music director Richard Dworsky. Keyboard player, composer and improviser in any style, he also writes all the script themes and underscores. His latest CD is So Near and Dear to Me.
Chet Atkins called Pat Donohue (guitar) one of the greatest fingerpickers in the world today. And he writes songs too — recorded by Suzy Bogguss, Kenny Rogers and others. Freewayman (Bluesky Records) is the most recent of Pat's nine albums.
Gary Raynor (bass) has performed with the Count Basie band, Sammy Davis Jr. — with whom he toured for several years — and the Minnesota Klezmer Band. He teaches jazz bass at the McNally Smith College of Music in St. Paul.
Peter Johnson (percussion) has played klezmer music with Doc Severinsen and jazz with Dave Brubeck. He was a drummer for The Manhattan Transfer and for Gene Pitney. He has toured the world, but he always comes back to home base: Saint Paul.
Tim Russell
One minute he's mild-mannered Tim Russell; the next he's George Bush or Julia Child or Barack Obama. We've yet to stump this man of many voices. In other roles, Tim played the part of Al, the stage manager, in the Robert Altman film A Prairie Home Companion and a detective in the Coen brothers' A Serious Man.
Sue Scott
On APHC, Sue Scott plays everything from ditzy teenagers to Guy Noir stunners to leathery crones who've smoked one pack of Camel straights too many. The Tucson, Arizona, native is well known for her extensive commercial and voice-over work on radio and television, as well as movie and stage roles.
Fred Newman
Sound effects man Fred Newman is an actor, writer, musician, and sound designer for film and TV. He is author of the book (and CD/CD-ROM) MouthSounds. Fred admits that, growing up, he was unceremoniously removed from several classrooms, "once by my bottom lip."
Tom Keith
Is that water dripping? Footsteps coming this way? Car tires spinning on an icy driveway? Nope — it's sound effects wizard Tom Keith. With vocal gymnastics and a variety of props, Tom has worked his magic on APHC since the mid-1970s. Starting out as a board operator at Minnesota Public Radio, Tom never expected that his career would take such a turn.

Beauty and the Beast
The beauty of Italy is breathtaking. But a beast is devouring this country's spirit.
Today much of the Italian culture finds its outlet in the thousands of wineries that dot the landscape. Some of the world's great wines are produced here; Borolo, Brunello, Chianti. And Sassacaica; wine from a family that raised horses for a living and made the drink for themselves.
After so many rave reviews they decided to take it public, now connoisseurs call it extraordinary. Their success is a testament to capitalism and private enterprise.
But now it seems Italy has lost its way. Debate rages between the socialist models where government takes care of workers from cradle to grave; and the conservative model, where private enterprise runs the economy.
Were I living here, my vote would be to let private enterprise dig this country out of its mountain of debt. This country is in danger of losing its soul by losing its way. Socialist ideas have obviously failed the people. It's time to give capitalist beauty a chance to slay the socialist beast.

Thank you for all of your kind comments on my last post. Things are definitely looking brighter these days and your support is one of the reasons.
Today, let's talk about our new farmhouse and specifically, the design I have in mind for the interior.
I decided my theme for the entire farm project is going to be Peace & Tranquility. After all, that is the entire reason we wanted a place in the country. How I see this translating into the interior of the farmhouse is white and neutral decor that is simple and uncluttered.
So here is some of the inspiration I've been collecting. For the living room…..
There's a great old cast iron wood burning stove like this one which we are going to put to good use in the winter…..
I want the house to be comfortable, casual and cozy which is what I think a farmhouse should be. But at the same time I'll be staying true to my style so it'll lean more Scandinavian than rustic. It's my chance to embrace my minimalist side. (I swear I have one!)
For the dining room…..
And the most important thing I should probably mention is that I'm planning on furnishing it almost entirely with pieces we already have. The truth is our house is much larger than we need and there is more than enough furniture in it to spare. So I feel good about repurposing some of it for the farmhouse rather than buying more new things.
For the bedrooms, there will be plenty of white of course…..
I think you get the idea of the vibe I'm after. Lots of linen, wood and other natural elements…..
As I said before, the only real work that needs to be done is in the kitchen and bath and lately I've been consumed with finalizing those plans. (Demo starts next week!) When I head out there to check on progress, I'll be sure to take plenty of photos of everything. Every other time I've been there, I never had enough time. Have a great day, guys and I'll see you back here in a couple of weeks!

When kids say scary things...
Sometimes my kids genuinely scare me with the things they come out with- especially in public places.
I thought it would be fun to start a thread to share the weird, 'quirky' and sometimes unnerving things that our kids say
My partner reported the following conversation with my two year old last week at the ball pool:
Barney: all these red balls are fire. Should I put my face in it?
DH: you shouldn't touch fire sweetheart it's dangerous
Barney: (with a huge smile on his face) I'll throw the fire at you, and your skin will melt off so you will be bones
Cue huge silence and a very speechless parent!
Nobody told me prior to having kids that they could be so dark!

Not necessarily scary, but odd and usually embarrassing things!
I was looking after my Godson once and we were going into town in the car. When trying to park someone almost hit me and before remembering Noah was in the car, I called the driver something rather unpleasant! I remembered he was there and looked round but he didn't seem to have noticed. Later we were in line at the post office when he turned round and asked "Ryn, why did you call that man a f****** b******?" You could have heard a pin drop, the place was so quiet and I have never turned so red in my life!Married to a wonderful man & pregnant with our first child

I was babysitting a six year old named Ethan and he told me that he knew how to electrocute someone with a hairdryer. I guess it was in a tv show he watched??

Oh my goodness southern.maple some of those are creepy...
Not dark so much, but rather strange. Once I was volunteering in a kindergarten classroom and they had an activity where they had to write something they loved about their family members, and draw a corresponding picture. One boy (4 or 5 years old) wrote:
I love my dad because he can get a white car.
I love my mum because she lets me sit almost next to a flame.
I love my brother because he taught me to open a box of electrical wires.
(He wanted to say, I love my brother because he teaches me bathroom words, but the teacher didn't let him.)
I love being myself because I can turn up the thermostat without permission.
I'm pretty sure I didn't know how to work the thermostat when I was in kindergarten. I still don't know how to open a box of electrical wires, don't think I really need to know.

A must have for the new gaming notebooks
Subject: Mobile | April 8, 2008 - 05:06 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Now that you can get pre-overclocked and SLI or Crossfire capable gaming notebooks, the mobile cooling industry is taking off. Don't even consider letting one of those notebooks even get close to your lap, you'll be feeling more than just the pain of defeat. At Madshrimps, they have gathered coolers from six different manufacturers, and you can see just how well these coolers do at keeping your notebook, and yourself, at reasonable temperatures.

wikiHow to Make a Broom Using a Coconut Leaf
Coconut trees provide human beings with food and drink, shelter, fuel and a raw material to make items from. One such item is a simple yet effective broom for the house, using one of the tree's giant leaves. It's a lot easier to use a leaf that has fallen down of its own accord, as getting up the tree is hard work, and the leaves are large.
1Find one large coconut leaf. Either find one on the ground, or ask for one from someone who is adept at climbing coconut trees safely.
2Drag the leaf to a comfortable spot. Set yourself up so that you're sitting comfortably.
3Cut the leaflets from the leaf. Always take care when cutting with a knife or blade.
4Arrange the leaflets neatly in a pile. Remove any unwanted scrappy pieces and any dead pieces.
5Take one leaflet. Then cut the leaf part alone into two halves, using either a blade or knife, leaving the stalk behind.
6After removal of the leaf part, shave off any excess scraps from the stalk and put aside.
7Do the same procedure for all of the leaflets, turning them into broomstick pieces.
8Collect up all the broomstick pieces you've just created.
9Tie the broomstick pieces together with the rope. You now have a broom. You can use this broom for cleaning and sweeping wooden, stone, soil or other floors. With care, it can even be used on some rugs and carpets with tough weaves.

Any kind of travel is much appreciated over here but sometimes, when you feel like you're in a bit of a rut at home, the best thing to do is get yourself out there and do something totally out of the norm. An all action holiday is by far the best way to do this to get revitalised this winter.
There are so many weird and wonderful extreme sports on offer these days and you can experience them in some truly beautiful and amazing places.
Here's a quick look at some of our favourite ideas.
There are so many great snow spots for you to hit the pistes, from Canada to the Alps. However, while it might not be your first thought, Japan has some of the best slopes in the world – there are over 500 in fact!
Japan is one of the most spectacular countries you could ever hope to visit with clean and efficient cities that are leaps ahead of the times. Throw in the awesome ski resorts and it's a snow junkie's paradise – probably why they have hosted the Winter Olympics twice!
Hokkaido, Nagano and Happo One are some of the best resorts to take advantage of the perfect powder, so put your best foot forward and say 'Sayonara boring, konichiwa snow!'
Surfing and windsurfing are great but we have to say, we agree with the mantra 'Go High or Go Home' and so kitesurfing gets our vote for best water sport! There's nothing like the buzz of bouncing across the waves as the wind lifts you to all new heights that you could never reach on a regular surfboard.
Dakhla is one of the best places to kitesurf in the world with optimal conditions all year around. You can book kitesurfing lessons with Explora Morocco and opt for private, paired or group tuition.
Bungee Jumping
The best place to bungee jump is of course, the commercial birthplace of the sport – New Zealand! For the daredevils, the 'Nevis', in Queens town on the South Island, is the highest point you can leap from or if you enjoy a great view, try taking the plunge from the Auckland Harbour bridge. (If Justin Bieber can do it, so can you!)
White Water Rafting
If you're not one for heights then stick to the rivers and lakes and take an exhilarating ride on the white water rapids. Canada is one the best places in the world where you can enjoy this sport in breathtakingly beautiful surroundings. Try the Kicking Horse river near Banff National park where the river is grade 2 to 4+, choose either a one or two day trip with something to suit all abilities.
You can choose how extreme you want to go, with the huge selection of stunning locations you can opt for a leisurely paddle or an all-out power dash.
What are you waiting for? Do something different this time!

I hate this phone, I can't wait for my contract to be a year old so that I can get rid of it without paying for the privilege. The battery life is atrocious, the software is not sufficiently advanced for its capabilities, the endless random malfunctions are infuriating (not being able to 'hang up', not being able to turn the thing on having had to turn it off to end a call, not having any of the buttons working, not charging when placed on the charger etc. etc. etc.).
It is the worst phone I have ever had the misfortune to own and quite possibly one of the worst acquisitions I have ever made. Even though I did not have to pay for it as it was an 'upgrade' I have still rated it zero value for money as I have had to maintain a contract for the damned thing.

Nokia phones are the biggest waste of money. My Nokia cell recently had so many problems, such as the unlock button would not respond, and sometimes the sound for the phone would be cut off until the recharger was plugged in for a second(the phone being fully charged). I got the phone for a deal since i signed a contract with cingular. Now there telling me i have to buy a new one because its "broken beyond repair". I asked how much a new one would cost and they told me 180.00 dollars!!! i laughed an said, "yea right, idiot!" So now im stuck with a half-ass phone and a contract that if i breach i will have to pay 200 dollars. Ironic how the crud service matches the crud phones! NOKIA SUCKS!

Absolute rubbish!!!!This phone is class! It really isn't that hard to end a call. Press the red button. Word of advice to anyone whose phone lags at times, you can download a lot of free software and tweaks from the net. Get your smartphone unlocked and you can do a whole load of things!!!! It is by far the best phone out there. If you want a simple common phone that can't do anything, get a retarded nokia!

Limitations on diesel-ignited propane duel fuel combustion in heavy-duty diesel engine
16 May 2014
A team at Mississippi State University performed a detailed experimental analysis of diesel–ignited propane dual fuel combustion on a 12.9-liter, six-cylinder, production heavy-duty diesel engine. They presented their results Results are presented for brake mean effective pressures (BMEP) from 5 to 20 bar and different percent energy substituted (PES) by propane at a constant engine speed of 1500 rpm.
The gaseous propane was fumigated upstream of the turbocharger air inlet and ignited using direct injection of diesel sprays.
With stock engine parameters, the maximum propane PES was limited to 86%, 60%, 33%, and 25% at 5, 10, 15, and 20 bar BMEPs, respectively, either by high maximum pressure rise rates (MPRR) or by excessive HC and CO emissions.
With increasing PES, while fuel conversion efficiencies increased slightly at high BMEPs or decreased at low BMEPs, combustion efficiencies uniformly decreased. Also, with increasing PES, NOx and smoke emissions were generally decreased but these reductions were accompanied by higher HC and CO emissions.
Exhaust particle number concentrations decreased with increasing PES at low loads but showed the opposite trends at higher loads. At 10 bar BMEP, by adopting a different fueling strategy, the maximum possible propane PES was extended to 80%.—Polk et al.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Limitations on diesel-ignited propane duel fuel combustion in heavy-duty diesel engine:
The Motiv engine concept is a potential HD engine that can use 100% gaseous fuels such as methane, propane and even H2 using compression ignition w/out requiring diesel fuel injection, and having very high efficiency. These are accomplished by using ultra-high compression ratio of 56 and a compound engine layout running 2-stroke cycle.

Don't let 'jury duty' scam take away your identity
Do you want to have your world turned upside down?
Let the con artists win: Give your Social Security number and personal banking information to people you don't know over the phone. Believe in get-rich-quick schemes. Give in to high-pressure tactics or threats.
In short, become a victim of identity theft.
Scams, of course, have been around for eons. For every way there is to separate a fool, or a na?ve person, from his money, there are a thousand con artists eager to do it.
But the lengths today's crooks are willing to go keep expanding; they're always coming up with new and inventive ways of hoodwinking their victims.
One of the latest scams preys upon people's sense of civic duty - and their desire to obey the law. An Alexandria realtor tipped us off about it. Here's how it works: Someone claiming to be from the local court system will call your home, saying that you've failed to report for jury duty. The caller will tell you that a warrant has been issued for your arrest. You, naturally, will say that you never received the jury notification. The scammer will then ask for confidential information - Social Security number, birth date, even a credit card number - for "verification" purposes so that the arrest warrant can be lifted.
What they're really doing with the information, of course, is stealing your identity. In the real world, court workers would never call someone asking for Social Security numbers or other personal information.
The jury duty scam has been reported in several states, including Minnesota. It has worked, experts say, because the victim is caught off guard and is upset at the prospect of a warrant being issued for his or her arrest. They let those emotions take over instead of the cool, calm logic of never giving out confidential information over the phone.
Another popular scam these days is for callers to pose as IRS officials, once again asking for confidential information over the phone.
Stopping identity thieves isn't that difficult. It just takes some common sense and a few precautions. The National Society of Accountants (NSA) offers these tips:
Don't carry your Social Security Number (SSN); leave it in a secure place.
Only give your Social Security number when absolutely necessary.
Your employer and financial institution may need your SSN for wage and tax reporting purposes. Don't give a business your SSN just because they ask for it. Find out why before giving it out.
Ask why your SSN is needed and if other types of identifiers can be used. For example, if your state uses your SSN as your driver's license number, ask to substitute another number.
More than 8.3 million American adults were victims of identity theft in 2005, according to a 2007 Federal Trade Commission study. Don't let it happen to you or your loved ones.

From Peter Durfee via the CIR Homepage:
The Japanese government's official English translations of certain (about 230 pages worth) Japanese legal terms is available online. The following url links to a (3 MB) pdf on the Japanese Cabinet Secretariat's site that contains the dictionary (the 法令用語日英標準対訳辞書):
I took a quick squiz at the file and it looks like a major resource for anyone who translates in the legal field, whether for terms of art:
shall be presumed
shall be deemed
without delay
standard notations:
目次 Table of Contents
編 Part
章 Chapter
節 Section
款 Subsection
目 Division
条 Article (Art.)
or simply the official names of laws:
Basic Act
【例】原子力基本法 Atomic Energy Basic Act
環境基本法 Environment Basic Act
男女共同参画社会基本法 Basic Act for Gender-Equal Society
Just because the translation is official doesn't mean it couldn't be improved - "Environment Basic Act" is nothing if not forced. Both ALC and Glova give "The Basic Environment Law" for 環境基本法 (かんきょうきほんほう)which does roll off the tongue a little better. Nevertheless, a handy document to have in one's (basic) possession.

MAS Submits Comments on East Midtown Environmental Review
November 7th, 2012, 11:06 am
The public review of the proposed East Midtown re-zoning began last month with a scoping hearing for the environmental review. The purpose of this hearing is for the Department of City Planning (DCP) to gather input on the issues that need to be carefully studied in the environmental impact statement.
DCP's website has a comprehensive description of the environmental review process.
The East Midtown re-zoning has the potential to transform one of the most important parts of New York City, roughly from 40th Street to 57th Street between 5th and 2nd Avenues. The proposal would significantly increase the density in the most densely developed part of New York City and raises many profound questions about the future of Midtown and New York City. MAS's letter to DCP highlights these important issues and concerns.
Many of these comments were echoed by the elected officials and other advocacy groups who testified at the hearing including Council Members Garodnick, Lappin, and staff from the Borough President and Public Advocates office in addition to four different Community Boards (1, 4, 5, 6).
Among many issues, MAS urged the Department of City Planning to:
1) Revise the development scenario. DCP believes that the proposal will generate an additional 4.4 million square feet of development, we believe this analysis undercounts the potential development that could occur and therefore underestimates the environmental impact of the proposal.
2) Allow for mixed-use development. In its current form, the DCP proposal does not allow for mixed use development in buildings which would benefit from the re-zoning. This approach disregards what has made many New York City neighborhoods so successful: a mixture of people, uses, and buildings.
3) Protect key buildings. East Midtown has an incredible architectural history but unfortunately many of those building aren't protected and this re-zoning threatens them. There needs to do a careful historic resource analysis and landmark those buildings which are an essential part of the history of New York and the character of this neighborhood.
4) Explore new open space opportunities. In the most congested neighborhood in New York City we need to find ways of improving the pedestrian experience, including widening sidewalks, creating new open spaces, re-thinking the Park Avenue median and setting back buildings, which would allow for more space at the ground floor.
5) Improve overwhelmed infrastructure. The 4/5/6/7 subway lines are some of the most congested in New York City. Careful planning must include careful plans to improve infrastructure. This neighborhood defined transit oriented development with the creation of Grand Central Terminal but the transit needs must keep pace with development otherwise we will have a district that is overcrowded and unpleasant to move through – not a recipe for continued economic success.
6) Examine the impact to the development of Hudson Yards & Lower Manhattan. Taxpayers are spending enormous sums of money to re-develop Ground Zero and its connected infrastructure as well the development of the 7 train to Hudson Yards. The public investment in infrastructure is vital to ensuring the success of these projects. However, if development occurs more slowly than is expected in these areas as result of investment being drawn to Midtown, the public may end up paying significantly more to build this infrastructure. The impact of this proposal on the city budget and the success of those areas needs to carefully analyzed and described.
This re-development plan for Midtown has far reaching implications for the millions of people each year who work, visit, live in this neighborhood and the Department of City Planning is advancing it in an incredibly fast timeframe. In response, MAS has brought together a group of stakeholders to discuss the implications of this proposal as we work to develop a collaborative and holistic vision for the future of Midtown.

ipad mini or ipad with retina for college
I cannot decide between the ipad mini and the ipad with retina. I am an engineering student and want to carry around an iPad instead of lugging my books plus laptop around. I want to be able to pull it out in class and read my books on it.
Is the mini going to be hard to read my textbooks on? is the ipad 4 going to be too large to pull out in class, is it worth the extra money?
Obviously the 170 dollar price difference is a big deal. I also am not sure if I need the 32gb. I don't plan on using it for much besides school, so no music downloads or movies will be stored on it.
- Asked by Jaime R from Saint Peters
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
I can honestly say that the iPad mini displays textbooks (and all books for that matter) really, really well. The size is perfect because it is really thin and light, something that can't be said of the full size iPad. It's super easy to type and highlight on the mini and takes up less space in your bag. The full size iPad may be a tad faster at key things like opening apps or opening a webpage a few seconds faster, but the iPad mini is perfectly speedy enough to do anything and everything from reading and annotating books, to creating documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, to loading big pages and running super powerful apps with no lag whatsoever. The battery life on the mini is also fantastic, and it really is quite portable and capable for its size and price. The smaller screen size doesn't compromise any of the apps or functionality of a full size iPad at all. Hope I helped!
