A New Tax Climate in the Making
Gov. Dave Heineman's State of the State address focused on bold tax cuts that could pave the way to a new tax environment.
Lawmakers said they're ready to begin discussions that would decide the best tax climate for Nebraska.
The governor's State of the State address focused on the need for tax reform, something that hasn't been done for nearly 50 years, and lawmakers said they're ready for long hours of debate.
Addressing the 103rd Legislature, Heineman said it's time for Nebraskans to open serious debate on the overall tax system.
The governor said he wants to eliminate the individual and corporate income tax, or at least lower those rates.
Hastings Sen. Les Seiler said of Heineman's plan, "I believe the goals he set are attainable, they're great goals for long term success for Nebraska."
Lawmakers weighed in on the governor's tax reform proposal that includes:
- No individual income tax for working Nebraskans.
- No taxing of small business income.
- No taxation for Social Security, military, or any retirement income.
- No corporate income tax.
In order to keep the budget neutral, the plan has the state's revenue dollars coming from undoing all of the current sales tax exemptions.
Sen. Kate Sullivan of Cedar Rapids said, "If we remove some of those exemptions, some of that business activity could go to neighboring states."
Sullivan added "Every single one of those was put in place because some entity, some group fought hard for them and built the case that they were necessary. "
Sen. Tom Carlson of Holdrege said now is the time to focus on tax reform because the list of exemptions has been adding up.
Carlson said, "The thing that happens more and more over the years is you get more and more sales tax exemptions and pretty soon you've eroded the base, so it does need to be looked at, but that's no simple matter -- It's not something we're going to do overnight."
The governor's plan also includes an increased funding to schools. He wants to increase state aid to education from $852 million to $895 million in fiscal year 2014 and to hit $939 million in fiscal year 2015.

Want a new street tree? All you gotta do is ask … and water it.
Thanks to a grant from the Newton Pride Committee, the folks with the Newton Tree Conservancy are planning to plant 40 new street trees across the city in the spring. What they want to know is where they should plant them? Are you missing a tree in front of your home? Are you willing to water a new one?
The Newton Tree Conservancy is looking for residents who are looking for street trees. A grant from Newton Pride will enable us to plant approximately 40 bare-root trees in spring of 2010. We hope to plant in batches of 5-8 trees, in several locations around the city.
Whether you are a formal neighborhood organization or a group of neighbors, you are invited to apply for a Community Tree Planting. Applications are due October 26, 2009. Homeowners should have suitable empty spots on their berms (grass strip between sidewalk and street) and be willing to water their tree for the first two years. Each tree will have a "TreeGator" bag, which will need to be filled with 20 gallons of water once a week from spring to fall.
For further information and application form, please contact Julia Malakie at 617-332-2940, or email firstname.lastname@example.com

How about a street?
September 25, 2009, 3:14 PM
Paved — or named after you? 😉
oversight permalinkSeptember 25, 2009, 3:51 PM
What do you do when the tree becomes fully grown and needs pruning? Does the Newton Tree Conservancy handle that job as well?
September 25, 2009, 6:41 PM
We have a group of Newton Citizen Pruners that work on younger city trees. I had a much longer post but just lost it because I'm not on my normal computer. Will do that later.
We will be pruning along Winchester Street tomorrow morning (Sat 9/26)– the trees that were put in about 4 years ago with state money during the street reconstruction, if anyone wants to see what we do.
September 25, 2009, 7:38 PM
I didn't mean it this way but if you insist….;)
No, I meant we need to have streets paved,have sidewalks and then we can talk about trees. Even though I believe the trees on the sidewalks grow to be a burden. The trees blow up the sidewalks and they are making the walking very dangerous.
I also think the trees are a burden on someone that is trying to get out of their driveway. When looking back to get into the main street because the tres are blocking their view. They can be tangled on electrical wiring. As mentioned already someone needs to trim them when they mature.
I believe we can do without them on the streets.
I have a suggestion,why not the city plant them in someone's garden. This way the person owns the tree and takes care of it sinse it will be their will to have a free tree from the city.
September 26, 2009, 1:36 PM
Tim, Tim… I think you really wouldargue with a dining room table, just for the fun of it. 😉
Rest assured, if you do not want a new tree we will not force one on you. But to address your concerns:
The trees with roots that are pushing up sidewalks were planted decades ago, and are mostly Norway maples, which haven't been planted in years and are now classified as an invasive species so they are not even legal to import into Massachusetts or even sell at this point. No one is planting species that lift up sidewalks. There are plenty of species that don't.
If you are unhappy with the condition of street surfaces in Newton, and who isn't, you might be interested in a lesser-known, non-biological benefit of trees, in that pavement that is shaded in summer is subject to less extremes of temperature change from hot in the day to cool at night, so the pavement lasts longer. For example:
Setbacks from driveways and corners are taken into consideration when planting is done. Everyone should look both ways, tree or telephone pole or not.
Regarding trees in people's yards, the city does have a program to plant "off-berm" trees just inside the sidewalk, instead of on the berm, but surprising, few people seem interested. When the new trees were being put in with the Winchester Street reconstruction, every house getting a tree got a letter explaining the benefits of off-berm planting, but no one took the city up on it.
I'll talk about pruning later, have to go to work.
September 26, 2009, 2:14 PM
Julia, you know by now I LOVE to philosophize about EVERYTHING. To me it has nothing to do with who is wrong or right. NOONE can be wrong or right in philosophy. There are always trade offs…,who has a good argument/philosophy about the subject that is the main issue.
The only difference so far from ancient greek philosophy and modern philosophy in my opinion is the fact that the ancients never did philosophy that involved money or economics, at least most of the time. We the modern people everything we talk about involves money. But that's another conversation.
As far as your link it was very impressive.
Abstract. Forty-eight street segments were paired into 24 high and
low-shade pairs in Modesto, California,
I am no expert on horticultural issues but I have a question that involves logic and nothing else. How can we take a study that has been done in California that has a very different climate from ours and apply it to Mass.?
As far as looking both ways when you drive out of your driveway i would agree you need to look both ways. BUT if you have no visibility because of trees on your view does this help?
The city wants to put their trees where they want but that defeats the purpose because not everybody likes to have trees infront of his house. That's why I think the Winchester street response was that,noone responded.
And on top of all this we are installing turf fields on our grounds and call ourselves "The Garden City".
Please come back from work and let's continue this conversation. I also like to hear from others.
September 27, 2009, 2:20 AM
Okay, back to Oversight's question about pruning. Actually, the way you put it: "What do you do when the tree becomes fully grown and needs pruning?," sounds like you might think a tree doesn't need pruning until it's fully grown. But actually, pruning in the early years is very important and averts structural problems later. It's a lot easier, and healthier for the tree, to eliminate things like co-dominant stems to promote a strong central leader, and crossing branches, and weak branch unions, when they are small cuts. And the tree will be less vulnerable to storm damage in later years.
How long can Newton Citizen Pruners prune a tree? We only do what we can do from the ground, but you can get pretty high up with a pole saw, and even higher with a telescoping pole clip, and even if we can't reach the top of trees, there is still a lot we can do from the ground in the middle years, removing the lowest branches as the tree gets taller. Any branch that a pedestrian could walk into, or a truck could hit, should not be a permanent branch. When we're out pruning young trees, we also do whatever we can reach on older trees.
For a specific example, look at the rows of trees on West Newton common. They were planted before Marc Welch, Newton's director of urban forestry, arrived, but he thinks they had been in about 5 years when we started pruning them in 2005, and were several years old when they were planted, so they were maybe 12 years old when we first pruned them. They probably hadn't been pruned since they'd been planted, so there was a lot to do at first, and you don't fix everything at once. We used them for Citizen Pruners hands-on training in 2005, 2006 and 2007, and gave them a rest in 2008 and 2009, but will work on them again next year. The main things we did were removing the co-dominant leaders, crossing branches, and lowest branches. At this point the trees on the Oak St. side especially, are too tall for us to reach the tops, but we don't need to so much because the trees now have strong central leaders, and we can keep on removing new crossing branches, and non-permanent lower branches, for quite a few years.
The tree we are planting on berms won't even grow as fast as the West Newton Common ones, which benefit from being in a park setting with more root space. We should be able to prune the new street trees for 10 years at least, which would be about 3 prunings, and keeping working on lower branches even longer. That will get them off to a very good start, so they won't need as much or as drastic pruning in later years as they would if they were just left to do their own thing.
Hope this was not too boring. Maybe I should have called this "Double leader Smack-Down"!
September 27, 2009, 8:11 PM
I will give the the dining room table a break because it can not answer back, but you have a voice, and you know how to write, what about my questions?
September 28, 2009, 7:20 AM
This is a wonderful way to show how much you love the Garden City. Over the years I have gotten calls from residents asking for a street tree who had been told they were on the list but would have to wait a long time because of budget constraints. I am calling them back now to tell them to ask for a tree from the Newton Tree Conservancy. Adopt a street tree, water it, and don't forget to use a rake to clean up the leaves in Fall. 😉
September 28, 2009, 5:12 PM
Tim, you are so high maintenance, if you were a tree you would have to be a Bradford pear.
By the time I answered Oversight it was 2:30 in the morning, and I need to get some sleep. Here goes:
–Winchester Street: It's not that no one wanted trees, they just didn't want them inside the berm. Probably because they did not want to be responsible for pruning later, or just because trees on the berm are what's 'normal.' I can understand that. Trees on the berm do give you a sense of separation and protection from all the cars whizzing by on the street.
–Pavement in different climates: I haven't researched this extensively, the Modesto one just happened to pop up high on Google. But thinking about Newton vs Modesto, it's true Modesto probably gets a lot hotter than Newton for longer periods. So maybe their pavement is more stressed that way. But I don't think they get snow. So if their pavement gets cracks in it from expansion/contraction, maybe they're just cracks. We get cracks, and the water gets in in winter and freezes and expands and we get potholes. Again, just speculating.
–Visibility: Give me an example of a driveway that's hard to get out of because of a tree.
–Artificial turf: Hey, I'm with you. Remember when I complained about the YMCA cutting down those elms to put in their turf field?
Terry Malloy permalinkSeptember 28, 2009, 5:20 PM
What species of tree are you planting, or is there a choice?
jane permalinkSeptember 28, 2009, 7:22 PM
Julia-I will talk to my neighbors about replacing some of our dying trees. Thanks for doing this. It's a lot of work, but well worth it.
September 28, 2009, 11:35 PM
Julia, thanks for answering my questions.
This is why I don't plant Bradford Pear trees. I plant Crab Apple ones. I hate maintenance of trees. But it is so necessary in areas such as Newton since we are so crowded around here.
The Winchester street is what you described. The people are sick and tired of broken sidewalks from the roots of the trees. I have a house in Waltham where every year I have to snake the main sewer pipe because the roots from the trees on the berm of the street trap the pipes and I have blockage. So, even on the berm the tree roots will probably affect piping. These days people consider even the smallest possibilities and decide not to go ahead and plant on the berm of the sidewalk.
Pruning is another issue especially when the tree gets tangled in the electrical wiring of the street poles.
I agree on the pavement and our climate is really more severe than California's. IMO the snow and the salt really do a job on the concrete,asphalt driveways and roads,iron bridges,even paint. It's a tough climate we have here in Mass.
The visibility issue I can not explain it exactly but I assume when the driveway is perpendicular to the main road and the trees are lined up on the berm that may cause poor visibility when someone is backing out of their driveway. But that's speculation on my part.
About the YMCA story I just hear it now. But Kudos to you for trying to protect the environment.
I am not against trees. I am for the environment. As I said earlier in another blog,
why not 40 trees be planted in places where the homeowners want them? If I like a tree in my backyard why not plant it there? And as Terry is asking what types are the trees?
susan sangiolo permalinkSeptember 29, 2009, 8:10 AM
Julia, I think there is another way people can help out since not everyone can use a tree.
Can't people make a monetary donation to the tree Conservancy fund?
susan sangiolo permalinkSeptember 29, 2009, 8:24 AM
In the Parker Blueprint Environmental and Sustainable group we looked at our Urban trees as a huge asset to the community. The Tree Conservancy should be a great help to preserving and maintaining the trees we have and replacing/installing new trees.
Check out our specific recommendations:
Environment and Sustainable Growth: Blueprint Full document (PDF)
Check out pages 6-9 in pdf format or pages 43-46 in the printed Blueprint.
September 29, 2009, 1:37 PM
Re types of trees:
1) The city has a fairly long list of species approved for planting as street trees–actually, a list for what can be only be planted where there are no utility wires above, and a longer list of species that could be planted whether there are wires above or not.
2) We will be planting bare-root trees, both because they are less expensive, and easier to handle (weight) and plant (don't need to dig as deep). We will order the trees at the beginning of December (bare-root must be ordered in advance, and dug up just before we want to plant them). Not all species are available to order as bare-root.
3) Newton's Director of Urban Forestry Marc Welch has some experience planting bare-root, as do some other towns, and we will favor species that have been successful as bare-root street trees.
So in Venn Diagram terms, we will select from the intersection of those three sets: what's available bare-root, likely to do well, and approved as a city street tree. Species diversity is another goal, planting a variety of species so species-specific pests or diseases are less likely to spread. But with 70 percent of the city trees being Norway maples, almost anything adds diversity in a particular location. We wouldn't be planting maples, which as a group are over-represented in the street tree population. If it doesn't get too logistically difficult, we might be able to take homeowner preferences into consideration as well.

How about some trees in the Newton Centre triangle parking lot? Crowns in parking lots provide shading, amelioration of heat island effect, carbon sequestration and air cleansing right where the air is dirtiest from tailpipes, while taking up very little ground area, or requiring removal of Newton's sacred parking spots.
Here is a shameless sales pitch: I am involved in National Science Foundation sponsored research that quantifies vegetation impacts on the carbon footprint of greater Boston, with one special focus on impacts of replacing pavement with trees. Anyone interested in hearing more about what could be done in Newton can contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or check out http://www.bostoncarbon.org
Also see the great commentary on trees in Newton at Lasell College: http://greenatlasell.blogspot.com/
October 5, 2009, 5:44 PM
I love for parking lots to have trees. The only problem with doing it in Newton Centre, is that the whole redesign thing is pending. Other people might know a lot more than I do about when that might be resolved. Haven't read much about it lately.
Looking Beyond The Facade permalinkOctober 6, 2009, 4:22 AM
How about first removing or maintaining the multitude of "leaners" that are imposing on the safety of trucks on many of Newton's streets.
Observe the scars on them, they've been hit multiple times in some instances and still haven't been removed. Will it take a fatality to get action?
Modesto CA is a poor example to compare to New England winters. Our road damage around here comes mainly from ice which stays longer in shaded areas than in sunny areas where it dissipates quicker.
Their extreme is hot sun almost year round, ours is extreme cold coupled with snow and ice for four months. Both do damage but the comparison is apples and oranges.
November 27, 2009, 11:44 AM
This brings up an interesting thought. When grants are provided for bare root trees, how narrow or expansive are the choices of species.
Personally, I like beech, black tupelo, chitalpa and a few others. Now I'm curious if those are available somewhere as bareroot.
Not that I need one – we are done planting trees in our landscape. It's merely that the question came to mind about availability.

Million-dollar rewards for whistleblowers could see them approach the authorities before their companies
The Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) whistleblowing bounty scheme has made its first payment. While the sum awarded was not enormous, it shows the power of this new weapon.
Whistleblowing that uncovers fraud and corruption is a valuable detection tool. The US Internal Revenue Service has for some time rewarded those who whistleblow on tax evasion. Recently, a $104m (£65m) award was paid to Bradley Birkenfeld, a former banker at UBS. Birkenfeld's information led to UBS paying a $780m fine.
Last year the SEC implemented the whistleblower bounty provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and adopted further measures for using employees in its programme for combatting fraud and corruption. The act built in a bounty scheme for those who alert the SEC to securities law infractions. They are entitled to claim a bounty for providing information leading to successful enforcement action and fines over $1m. The award can be as much as 30 per cent of the fine levied.
The SEC made its first payment on 21 August, when it awarded a whistleblower $50,000 – 30 per cent of the total amount the SEC had collected so far. (The identity of the whistleblower is unknown as the act protects anonymity.) The SEC said any rise in fines for the company would result in further whistleblower payments. It also revealed that since the start of the bounty programme it has been receiving around eight tips a day.
These measures present challenges for international companies. Bounty payments surely create a disincentive for the whistleblower to approach the company first. This means that a company may find out about a problem only after the authorities have started investigating. Reputational damage may, by then, be done, with the potential for criminal penalties and civil action.
This does not affect US companies only. Companies based in the UK and connected to the US can be caught. The SEC's Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) jurisdiction can extend beyond traditional boundaries of territory and nationality through only a minimal connection with the US, such as correspondent bank accounts, wire transfers and sending or receiving emails in the US. There are also no territorial limitations on bounty hunters.
The SEC and the Department of Justice recently charged London-based medical device company Smith & Nephew with violations of the FCPA arising out of payments by its US and German subsidiaries to public doctors in Greece. The company and its US subsidiary agreed to pay more than $22m to settle civil and criminal charges. If there had been a whistleblower in the case, 30 per cent of the fines levied would have resulted in a bounty payment of as much as $7m.
The existence of bounty payments reinforces the need for robust compliance programmes to detect problems early, but it also raises the question of how far we have to go to detect crime. Should a criminal justice tool create new millionaires?

TD Ameritrade Traditional IRA Review
TD Ameritrade (TDA), one of the most recognizable names in the financial sector, has been an award winning online brokerage for the past 5 years. In an increasingly competitive space, TDA continues to lead the industry through its acquisition strategies and a commitment to innovative product delivery and customer service. The flagship platform offered by TDA, Thinkorswim, has consistently won top honors against other platforms year-over-year since 2011. The company's broad range of products and education services along with its top tier customer service make TDA an excellent choice for investors and traders looking for a low cost, high quality Traditional IRA account.
Growing into a Global Leader in Online Brokerages
TD Ameritrade went public in 1997. The initial public offering (IPO) was for $15 per share. Since going public, TDA has instituted an aggressive growth-by-acquisition strategy. Perhaps one of the most well known acquisitions in the brokerage industry occurred in 2006 when Ameritrade Holding Corporation (TDA's parent company) acquired TD Waterhouse USA. Last year it bought another brokerage giant -
. Since the deal, TDA has become one of the largest online brokerages with over 10 million customer accounts holding assets totaling close to $1 trillion.
Another notable acquisition occurred in a cash and stock deal between TDA and Thinkorswim Group Inc. in 2009. The deal was for $606 million and made TDA the dominant competitor for retail customer accounts. Thinkorswim was unique for its appeal to retail and self-directed options traders. Although the acquisition met with criticism for Thinkorswim's focus on options traders, the maneuver also opened up an entirely new market to online brokerages — retail options traders.
Diverse Asset Classes for an Evolving Market
TD Ameritrade offers an impressively assorted set of asset classes to its customers. These include: equities, options, futures, Forex, treasuries and ETFs. TDA makes it comparatively easy for customers to open accounts with permission to execute trades in all of these asset classes. The requirements are varied, but are easily met for interested investors. There is no minimum balance to open an individual trading account. However, electronic funding requires a $50 minimum.
For margin (required for futures and Forex trading) or option privileges, the account requires a minimum of $2,000. However, selling naked options and higher risk strategies requires a higher level of permission obtained through a long application process—the requirements for approval are not disclosed to customers. An individual account holder may open a number of accounts based on their personal profile. Cash, Cash Margin, Cash and Option, Cash, and Margin and Option are all available to TDA customers.
TD Ameritrade: A Leader in Online Trading Technology
TDA boasts an industry-leading array of trading platforms providing customers access to their accounts from anywhere (literally) and also makes trading from mobile devices, desktop platforms and the TDA website simpler than ever before.
To begin with, TDA's web platform has an easy-to-understand interface where traders and investors can access stocks and options, and a variety of third-party research. Users can even use scanning tools to look for investment ideas. The web platform also displays account balances and daily profit and loss. The platform is ideal for mid-term to long-term traders. However, TDA also offers platforms for active traders. All platforms are free with a TDA account.
The Trade Architect platform makes complex options strategies easier. For investors and traders using these strategies, Trade Architect is an excellent way to research trades right from a browser. Trade Architect will organize options strategies into categories to make decision making simpler. The platform also offers streaming news and the ability to trade directly from charts—an increasingly common feature in trading platforms.
The "next level" platform in TDA's pool is Thinkorswim (TOS). Thinkorswim—a year-over-year winner of "Best Trading Platform" is a robust tool specifically designed for professional options traders; but the platform does offer futures, Forex and stock trading capabilities. TOS gives traders and investors access to detailed option chain data, real time quotes, Level II, Depth-of-Market blotters, Time and Sales and a complex Analyze Tab that calculates probability in-the-money and out-of the money at expiration. The Analyze Tab's risk graph makes trading a visual experience displaying break evens and max profit and loss. Criticism toward TOS centers, ironically, around that very same complexity. For customers looking to "keep it simple," TDA's web-based platforms may be a better option.
TD Ameritrade is also advancing in the mobile trading arena. The TDA app and TOS are both available on iPad, iPhone and Android devices. The apps give customers access to their accounts and trade execution. The TOS app even offers complex options strategies and alerts. All in all, the varied platform offerings are the second best quality of TDA - next to their customer service.
Best in Class for Customer Service
TD Ameritrade's stand-out feature is, in fact, its customer service. The company provides customers with live chat support from both its website and Thinkorswim. The response time is counted in minutes and the customer experience is clearly a priority. Customers can speak with employees regarding technology, accounts and commissions in a direct and effective way at any time.
The email support system is equally as powerful, although response times can average 12 hours. The responses are always thorough and practical. It's common, as well, that customer support will go above and beyond to satisfy customers regardless of their account size. Essentially, all TDA customers are given the same level of care.
Best No Fee Traditional IRA
TD Ameritrade's Traditional IRA doesn't have account setup, annual, maintenance, or inactivity fees. The firm is one of the best brokerages for a Traditional retirement account in 2017: you'll never be charged fees on your account unless you decide to move it to a different company (almost all brokers charge for this).

Obama Assembles Climate Dream Team
President-Elect Obama's pick of two of the very best — Jane Lubchenco [search] and John Holden [search] — for important positions in his administration, seems to portend a major focus upon climate by the incoming administration. Early indications are Obama is going to try to seriously address climate change [ark | moreark] which is very good. I would expect a major climate initiative as part of a broader stimulus and energy package in the first 100 days. What remains to be seen is whether Obama will propose just what is politically palatable, or seek global cooperative international policies sufficient to actually reduce emissions sharply in the short, mid and long terms.
A dear colleague just asked why I have not yet praised Obama for these appointments. Good question, that left me to ponder. I guess two decades of government inaction on climate change have sullied me that any government can possibly purses actions on climate change that are strong and fast enough. I believe strongly that change will come from the people or not at all. The oil oligarchy's power is still immense, and Obama's ability to put in a carbon tax — what is really needed — is limited further by the recession. Climate change is one of those issues not easily addressed by one leader.
I will be more than willing to congratulate Obama for actual emissions reduced. Given recent backsliding by Chancellor Merkel in Germany and Prime Minister Rudd in Australia after lots of initial excitement over their climate policy, I think skepticism is warranted. At this point Obama's climate policy is just electoral rhetoric and staffing, and it remains to be seen how ambitious the actual policy will really be. When a real policy package with even preliminary deadlines and targets is introduced, EcoInternet will be amongst the first to praise or protest its contents. Let's hope the Climate Dream Team has the power to do what must be done.

As they make their way to the entrance they tap their contactless wrist bands on the reader and head straight to the camp site. "Great move getting these online Dave", says Julia, "No waiting in that huge queue, we'll get the best camping spot"
Later near the Pyramid stage David heads off to get drinks before their favourite band arrives on stage. Arriving at the bar he spots the fast track lane, taps his contactless wrist band on the pay-point and is handed two beers. Great, thinks David, so much easier than last year with all that queuing.
Later as they enter Silver Hayes they spot the chance to get some exclusive tracks from the dance band they are about to see. They tap their wrist-bands at the fan point and the huge arena screen flashes with their Twitter profiles.
Back at the tent, David checks his balance on his iPhone and tops up his pre-pay account with £20 ready for tomorrow. He notices the free exclusive tracks are available and boots up his mini-speakers. Everyone loves it. The party is going on late into the night.
Sounds unrealistic? Well actually this is happening now. Contactless wrist bands have been around since 2011, but they are about to go mainstream. They contain a similar NFC chip as your contactless credit card, but are much more convenient for visitors to events and parks.
They are already being used for both secure entry and to provide an enhanced visitor experience. This summer Barclaycard are running a trial with their PayBand at two UK festivals – Pride and British Summer Time. The plan is then to offer the bands to all Barclaycard customers.
Disney are already using their MagicBand to enhance visitor experience around their parks. They are used both for secure entry to the park itself, deliver additional information and to manage visitor flow allowing people to avoid large queues at the most popular rides.
We hear a lot about "wearable tech" being then next big thing, and Google are clearly making a statement with their Google Glass all over the press. But these little wonders are likely to be the wearable tech that goes mainstream. At less than a dollar they are cheap, simple and have a real practical use.
They can help event organisers manage faster entry to events and improve visitor flow by monitoring where the biggest crowds are, directing others to less busy areas. They can avoid people carrying cash and make transactions much quicker when they pay. Reducing queuing times at concession stands and moving more product for the event organisers.
While the technology is relatively simple, getting this right involves thinking through the experience you are giving to your visitors. It's a technology that can really enhance the visitor experience, increasing your sales and getting people to love your event and return to your next one.
Managing your visitors experience requires an understanding of the behaviour of your visitors and an ability to engage with them at the right time and place.
Our platform, Engagepoint, provides event organisers with a unique ability to manage and monitor visitor movements, deliver relevant content and reduce queuing times.

Butter from Tatura
Sugar from Bundaberg

Hurt People Hurt People
A bully in the schoolyard and a bully in the home or the office are the same. One intimidates his classmates, another harasses his family or associates. And so it follows, that our remedy in the past for both issues has been the same.
Harbor the victims and punish the perpetrator. That hasn't worked so well. Bullying is an ever increasing epidemic in both the playground and the workplace and we can't seem to build shelters fast enough to house our battered women and children.
We have focused our efforts on the offended and neglected the offender! If we wish to cure the sickness, we must identify, attack and eradicate the virus causing the disease. We all know that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting the results to change and yet….we continue applying the same band-aid to an ever-bleeding wound.
The dictionary defines a bully "as someone who is habitually cruel or overbearing, especially to smaller or weaker people." The unspoken cultural connotation is that a bully is stronger, bigger or more powerful individual and because he exerts this power through aggression, he is unlikeable.
The bully often doesn't care about being unlikeable but he does desire attention, control and power. In his own bizarre way he is seeking respect. He believes if others fear him, they respect him. What we believe drives our behavior. To eradicate bullying we must change the rewards we unconsciously give to that behavior. Stop telling bullies they are strong and their victims are weak. There has to be a change on our part before there can be a change on their part.
Tell them the truth; bullies are people who emotionally damaged, socially ignorant or both! They are weak people who have been hurt and they seek to hide their feelings of inadequacy by hurting others. They think, "If I pretend to be an angry bear, you will never know I am a defenseless cub." They are weak… but…they don't have to stay that way!
What to do:
Bullies have misguided minds not malignant spirits. They are to be affirmed for their intellect not their physical prowess or intimidating tactics. We are to teach them to be mentally sharp by evaluating the risks and rewards of their behavior.
Mistreating people may give them 15 minutes of power and victory but it will also result in consequences that cause them days of detention or months in jail and as well as financial loss due to loss of job or financial penalties. Our conversation has to center on them winning. The only way they can do that long term is to take responsibility for their behavior.
People can not exist without oxygen. It's everywhere, we don't have to like it but we need it to thrive and flourish. The bully needs to learn that he doesn't have to like people, the weather or his circumstances but like oxygen, they're always going to be there. He may not be able to change "them" BUT he does have the power to change his emotional reaction into an intelligent response.
It will be his attitude and intellect, not his muscle or machismo, that will determine whether he flourishes or fails. Our society does not tolerate the tyrant!
The bully has been injured in some way. That is not an excuse for poor behavior but a obvious observation. No nonsense straight forward education is the answer and it begins by saying to the one who is acting out:
"This cannot continue. You are smart. You are strong and I care about you. You are a winner and I refuse to let you sabotage your own future!"
Nick Della Valle is a co-founder of Breath of CHRIST Ministries (www.christwalk.us) and author of the book "3300 Miles for Christ." He and his wife Lucy are missionaries to America; storytellers for
At 4'8" tall and 98 pounds, Nick knows what it is like to bephysically intimidated. He gives a first hand account of not only overcoming those situations but also understanding what drives the intimidator.
How we choose to respond to situations and circumstances affectsnot just the moment, but the pattern for dealing with difficulties that may await us in the future.
What You Say Is
I'm trying to be more aware of the words and phrases I use. At one time, I didn't think it made any difference what I said. I thought everything was based on how I acted. Was I polite or rude? Did I work hard or slough off? Was I on time or always running late?
Although all that matters, words matter more. What we say impacts how we act. What we say to others is important but what we say to yourself is life changing! Phrases like "I'm sick and tired" or "I can't afford THAT" add no value to our life.
Words we speak, make inroads into our minds and shape our spirits. Using the name of GOD (I AM) before certain positive conditions strengthens the core of our being.
I AM a strong, healthy, energetic, flexible, pain free body from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet.
I AM a sharp, sound, disciplined, clear thinking, clean thinking mind!
I AM wealth, abundance, riches and prosperity; my GOD, my Father causes good things to come to me.
Take a moment this week and listen to the talk around you. Repeat the positive; delete the negative. Now listen to the words that are coming out of your own mouth. When you catch a gripe, a groan or a grumble, remind yourself that you are blessed and highly favored and deeply loved by GOD….and we kinda like you too!
Let's practice speaking the things we want as if they had already arrived. "Thank You, Lord, for our brand new Rialta." "Thank You, Father GOD, for that 15 pound weight loss." "Thank You, JESUS, for directing us to that three bedroom townhouse." Begin to see life as you want it, thank GOD for it and know that what you say…..is!

New high-speed train in Italy -- NTV
Report Abuse
Since it doesn't start running until the end of April,according the website on the link, who knows? But thanks for the heads-up.
Report Abuse
There was an earlier thread about this, but I can't seem to locate the info at the moment.
Report Abuse
It's discussed a bit in these two threads.
Report Abuse
"It's discussed a bit in these two threads."
As far as I can see, NTV haven't published their fares (or timetables) yet, so we don't know what service will be offered (except that it won't be using the major city-centre stations in Milan or Rome, and it'll be on a very infrequent timetable for the first couple of months) or what the pricing strategy will be.
If there IS a pricing strategy. The overwhelming majority of new railway companies in Western Europe competing with a legacy incumbent over the past 20 years have swung between premium, discounted, and "premium-priced service in First: aggressive discounts in Cattle" strategies more or less every other month.
Till we know what NTV are offering, and what their price strategy on scrb11's proposed route is the nanosecond he books it (believe me: it'll be different the day after), how can anyone advise on whether a possibly non-existent premium is worth it?
Report Abuse
ah welcome to deregulation of Europe's previously monopolistic train systems and competition - more choices than ever but if Britain's abysmal IMO example of privitization is any harbinger do not expect improved total service.
Report Abuse
Would-be passengers may be better looking at the company's new website, under their "Italo" trading name...
... or, in English, here...
They say: "The start is April 28th, with the first connection: Napoli - Roma- Firenze - Bologna – Milano, the fares will be announced on April 12nd and yet since the 15th tickets sale will be active through all Italo sales channels."
Report Abuse
So they will have their own stations and tracks?
Hmm, then it would cost way more than the $1.1. billion they claimed to have spent just on the trains, no?
Report Abuse
>>>So they will have their own stations and tracks?<<
No, as mentioned in the other threads I linked, they are not using some of the main stations that the Trenitalia AV trains use. In Rome, they will be using Tiburtina and Ostiense, not Termini.
Report Abuse
"So they will have their own stations and tracks?"
No. They're using what some might see as secondary stations in Milan and Rome. Less convenient for most tourists - but possibly more convenient for many businesspeople in Lombardy and Lazio - than the ones Trenitalia uses. The same railway lines are available to all railway operating companies, but access to stations has to be commercially negotiated between then train operator and the station owners. It may not be their intention, but NTV's offering - secondary, cheaper, stations using trains with lower operating costs - is closer to Ryanair's than to a premium priced airline.
"Britain's abysmal IMO example of privitization "
Which over the past 15 years has produced the fastest growth in railway use of any developed country. A few more "abysmal" examples elsewhere in Europe and we might make some real progress in cutting unnecessary road use, instead of building endless high-speed, planet destroying, vanity projects.
Report Abuse
whatever has caused Britain's leap in rail ridership may not be at all due to privitization as you myopically state is the sole cause - how about the escalation in the price of petrol and the decline in income for many folks not to mention things like London's steep daily congestion fee that basically forces folks from cars onto trains.
A big negative of the privatization I read is that with the myriad of various fares where the early bookings pay less has resulted also in sky high full fares bought on the day of travel - thus detering spur of the moment or sudden need travel as some Brit on Fodor's - the late CW I think - said was his reason for driving up to some far away soccer match rather than taking the train since he was too late for discounted tickets and was not sure what train he wanted to take, etc.
One thing clear about British railways is the lack of meeting the demand by new high-speed railways or new train cars - second class is invariably chock full often IME - I have never ever seen the incredible overcrowding I have seen on some medium-range trains in Britain - like one I rode recently from Lincoln to Peterborough - heck there was hardly even room to stand on that train - British rail operators continual to cancel services suddenly, resulting in overcrowding - anyway what is happening in Italy and across the Continent is different - it is by law requiring state railways to open access to their tracks and some stations to competition - Trenitalia could probably never be privatized due to its huge operating costs with labor contracts, etc.
Report Abuse
Although first announced years ago, it may have escaped the notice of those more preoccupied with polemics.... however Trenitalia will also soon be running many of their fast trains through the new stations at places such as Tiburtina and Afragola.
The main idea is to speed long-distance travel by getting away from those like Roma Termini and Napoli Centrale - where lines terminate, with the crew having to change "ends" and run the train in reverse for the next leg of their journey - and use instead ones where they simply pass through...
Try starting here:
Report Abuse
Interesting information.
Report Abuse
Florence SMN also is a dead end terminus that is very congested - some trains only serve Campo di Marte (not sure of name) and Rifredi stations and do not go into SMN.
Peter thanks for that link.
Report Abuse
I would imagine the private operators are going to cherry-pick the most profitable routes.
Whether that means targeting business people or tourists should be an interesting development.
Milan isn't as big a tourist draw as Rome, Florence and Venice but apparently that north-south route covers a lot of the country.

Q. My aunt will be seeing a specialist in New York. If I travel with her, can I deduct my hotel cost as a medical expense? A.L., Wheeling, W. Va.
A. Partially. If you accompany your dependent aunt on the trip, you can deduct lodging expenses, subject to the usual medical deduction limit of 7.5% of your AGI. But the IRS limits the deduction for lodging to only $50 a night. What's more, the IRS says you can't count the costs of your transportation or meals.
Tip: On the other hand, a deduction is allowed for the transportation expenses of a parent traveling with a child who needs medical care or someone for whom you're providing injections, medication or other treatment if that person is unable to travel alone.

Dundalk and Cork share the spoils as Rovers cash in with emphatic win over Limerick
Dundalk 1 Cork City 1
Dundalk remain six points clear of Cork City at the top of the SSE Airtricity League table after both sides played out a scrappy 1-1 draw at Oriel Park.
Stephen Kenny's side were looking to bounce back from their Champions League exit to BATE Borisov four nights earlier, and they drew first blood when Richie Towell coolly beat Mark McNulty from the penalty spot after 11 minutes.
City, however, responded well to the early setback and Mark O'Sullivan got up to beat Andy Boyle in the air to power a stunning header past Gary Rogers with eight minutes remaining in the first half.
A scrappy second half saw both sides struggle to create scoring chances and a gripping encounter ended with a draw as the correct outcome.
The solitary point is the first that Cork City have taken in the border town in two seasons and keeps their hopes of reeling Dundalk in alive but the Lilywhites, with a six point cushion, will feel they are firmly in the box seat to retain their crown.
An absorbing first half threw up plenty of talking points. Dundalk, with their forceful pressing and zippy passing, showed no signs of fatigue from their European exertions and the high tempo start led to the opening goal after 11 minutes.
City were caught napping when Darren Meenan and Daryl Horgan played a short corner on the right and when Alan Bennett was penalised for pulling Brian Gartland, Richie Towell sent Mark McNulty the wrong way from the penalty spot.
Cork should have restored parity four minutes later. Gartland's weak back-pass was picked up by Karl Sheppard but his finish was weak and Gary Rogers saved with his legs.
The temperature continued to rise when Cork City manager John Caulfield was sent to the stands by referee Neil Doyle for disputing the awarding of a free-kick to Dundalk.
With Gavan Holohan and Liam Miller starting to get a foothold, the Leesiders settled into the game and they threatened on the half-hour mark.
Steven Beattie escaped from Dane Massey to deliver in a dangerous cross but Sean Gannon was on hand to sweep it behind for a corner. Bennett could only head the resulting delivery wide of the post.
The sides were level in the 37th minute. A bout of City possession ended with Chris Shields halting Steven Beattie's progress on the right and Kevin O'Connor's delivery was inch-perfect for O'Sullivan to guide a brilliant header past Rogers.
The travelling support were lifted by the goal and they were almost celebrating again three minutes later. Holohan tried his luck from distance, with Rogers relieved to see the deflected effort spin just wide of the post.
City's good work was almost undone on the stroke of half-time. John Dunleavy's back-pass caught McNulty on the hop, leaving the netminder with no option but to pick up the ball. However, Towell just couldn't find a way past the mass of green shirts parked in front of the posts with the subsequent 11-yard free-kick.
Quality football was a rare sight in the second half as both sides struggled to gain the upper hand.
Dundalk are expected to complete the signing of St Patrick's Athletic striker Ciaran Kilduff in the coming days and their need for reinforcements in the final third was highlighted when Kenny introduced midfielder John Mountney to play as a centre-forward for the final 36 minutes.
The Mayoman was involved in a major talking point in the 71st minute when he went down after a tangle of legs with Alan Bennett. This time referee Doyle gave the decision in Cork's favour, much to Mountney's frustration.
Dundalk looked the most likely to get a second and they thought the chance had arrived in the 85th minute. Mountney delivered from the right but substitute Stephen O'Donnell placeed his header wide.
Meanwhile, Shamrock Rovers sealed a comfortable 4-1 home win over Limerick to keep their title hopes alive. Brandon Miele bagged a brace while Conor Kenna and Patrick Clegg were also on target for Pat Fenlon's men.
DUNDALK – Rogers; Gannon, Gartland, Boyle, Massey; Towell, Shields; Meenan, Finn (O'Donnell 61), Horgan (Kelly 83; McMillan (Mountney 54).
CORK CITY – McNulty; Dunleavy (McSweeney 64), Bennett, Murray, O'Connor; Buckley, Miller (Healy 89); Beattie, Holohan (Morrissey 74), Sheppard; O'Sullivan.
REF – Neil Doyle.

In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have been a student of the Bible since childhood. After high school, I originally attended a pre-ministerial college and studied the Bible, World History, German (Reformation) and Latin and Greek (ecclesiastical) languages before completing my degree in Humanities cum Laude at CSUN. I taught Sunday school classes when I was younger and Bible classes for adults as an adult teacher. I have also been very active and involved in the church, holding various positions and attending countless topical, historical and book-by-book Bible studies.
I am a student of World History, Ancient Mythology, Classical History, Classical Art and Architecture, Classical Literature (which I read to this day) and Latin and Greek languages. In addition to Western Literature, I also had a Classics emphasis in my Humanities Major (BA, cum Laude) from CSUN and was a few units short of a Minor in Classics and not far from a Major in Classics (when I chose to graduate and get married).
