Rockin in the Free World
The president says the economy is getting better all the time, and such performers as the Eagles and Barbra Streisand apparently feel the same way because ticket prices for their shows have shot up wildly in recent years beyond the rate of inflation. Tickets often cost more than a fan's monthly rent, with Streisand demanding as much as $1,500 per person (which means she's either an arrogant diva who wants only the upper caste to attend her concerts, or she's blithely optimistic about the economic recovery trickling down to the rest of us soon). The relatively proletarian Rolling Stones are charging $450 (we're talking face value) for upper-end ducats to their Dodger Stadium gig in November — and that doesn't include a $30.55 "convenience charge," the needlessly taunting euphemism that basically means they'll mail you a ticket.
While it's heartwarming that so many other folks can afford such expensive entertainment, there are still plenty of free, high-quality events around town for those cheap bastards and doubting Thomases who are too stubborn or blind to take part in the rampant prosperity bubbling up all around them. Spaceland's free Monday nights spotlight soon-to-be-famous, before-they-start-to-suck indie-rock bands and rising local combos. And its sister club, the Echo, hosts no-cover shindigs like Grande Ole Echo, which features some of L.A.'s finest new-cornpone auteurs. Just up the street at Taix restaurant, there's never a door charge to catch a tuneful assortment of clever bubblegum-pop prophets (Kristian Hoffman, Eugene Edwards), intelligently moody chanteuses (Carolyn Edwards, Io Perry), arty funk-jazz explorers (Atomic Sherpas, Joe Baiza) and new-cornpone auteurs (I See Hawks in L.A., Kingsizemaybe).
Many nights at Mr. T's Bowl in Highland Park are free, with below-the-underground bands you'll never find on the Sunset Strip. That hulking hangar-size emporium known as Amoeba Music presents frequent miniconcerts, and — if you can avoid the considerable temptation of wandering the aisles and impulse shopping — you can walk out of there with the smug feeling that you just saw Solomon Burke, Neko Case, the Remains, Daniel Johnston, the Flaming Lips, Paul Westerberg, the Raconteurs or the Kills without spending a dime. And there's no better way to listen to a surf-guitar legend like Dick Dale and punk surfers Agent Orange, or blues howlers like Koko Taylor and Eric Burdon, than stepping off the continent and walking above the water on the literally rocking Santa Monica Pier during its Twilight Dance Series on summer Thursday nights. You may end up never needing to hear "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" again.

This wildly busy steak house is particularly renowned for its highly marbleized prime beef, creamed corn, truffle macaroni and cheese, and buzzing scene: while you stand at the bar awaiting your table (everyone has to wait—at least a little bit), you'll clamor for a drink with all facets of Miami's high society, from the city's top real estate developers and philanthropists to striking models and celebrities (Lenny Kravitz, Jay-Z, and Matt Damon are among a big list of celebrity regulars).

i'm not sure what was harder to believe, waiting for reservation to be honored at opening time or waiting for the food. To be sure, this place has attitude, as nowhere else would they make a commotion about serving tea in a plastic bottle. As for the entree, they suggest sauce, not only to charge more but also so that meat is tender enough to be edible. Yuk.

Real Network's online petition backfires
Update: In an effort to thwart negative comments, Real has started a new petition without public comments available. The freedomofchoicemusic.org site now points to a new URL. This new petition currently has 35 signatures.
Yesterday Real Network's launched the "Freedom of Choice" anti-Apple ad campaign, website and online petition in its efforts to stop Apple from keeping the iPod a "locked" platform. Today, the campaign has backfired with over 500 mostly anti-Real comments appearing on the petition's website resulting in Real removing the link to freedomofmusicchoice.org on its website.

Aging in Community: Research and Emerging Models
Mary Ann Erickson, Associate Professor and Chair of Gerontology at Ithaca College, serves as the president-elect of the State Society on Aging of New York for the 2015 calendar year and as president for 2016. Much of her research has looked at the influence of housing on the lives of older people, and how older people make housing decisions. She is one of four authors of an online article published in September 2014 in the Journal of Housing for the Elderly entitled, "Aging in Place or Relocation? Plans of Community Dwelling Older Adults."
Betsy Schermerhorm assumed her role as Director of Marketing and Admissions at Kendal at Ithaca in January of 2006. Prior to that she had served as the Interim Director of RSVP and Countywide Health Insurance Information Counseling and Assistance Program at Lifelong.

Betsy holds a PhD in quantitative genetics from Cornell University and received Certification as a Gerontologist from Ithaca College.
Jim Quest's background incorporates business, education and not-for-profit experience. He has more than fifty years of business experience in marketing and communication, nearly half in entrepreneurial ventures. His expertise in marketing started with Procter & Gamble. He then founded and built an advertising agency concentrating in new products and services. From 2006 -2012 he taught entrepreneurship at Cornell University, and later at the University of International Business & Economics in Beijing. He has served on the Executive Committee, Board of Directors of the Children of Alcoholics Foundation (NYC); Board of Directors of the Stamford Symphony (CT), and the Board of Directors of the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra (Ithaca).

50 year old man | Fletcher Hills, CA, USA | Seeking women 40-50 within 25 miles of El Cajon, CA
Active within 24 hours
Looking for a woman with culture and class - as long as she can let her hair down and enjoy a night on the town.
I've finally reached that place in my life when I want to sit back and enjoy all that life has to offer. I am an active parent who has 50% custody of my two sons, but my oldest is off at college and the youngest is a junior in high school. My weekends are no longer devoted to soccer and baseball games and I finally have time to enjoy all that San Diego has to offer – hopefully with someone special alongside. I enjoy going to small clubs and listening to live music. I enjoy all types of music (with the possible exception of rap/hip hop), but tend to lean toward blues, rock and jazz. I love to travel, and am fortunate to be able to travel quite a bit as a part of my job. A weekend in Napa or New York City would be at the top of my list for a romantic get-a-way, but I would also be happy just spending time at one of the cottages on Crystal Pier for a couple of days away. I've been married once for 15 years, and the divorce was final several years ago. I'm a San Diego native, and have always lived in La Mesa/Fletcher Hills with the exception of college at USC. I travel frequently on business, primarily to New York, Washington DC, LA and San Francisco. Although I enjoy spending time in each of these cities I can't imagine ever living anywhere else but San Diego. My perfect match would be someone who is comfortable with where they are in their life, but also enjoys spending time together as a couple. I want to find someone who enjoys entertaining and knows what a good bottle of wine should be. She should also have a desire to travel and be comfortable meeting new people.

I like Dogs
Middle of the Road
It may be a romantic evening at Mr. A's, or sharing a pitcher of beer at Lahaina's in Pacific Beach. Trips to New York and San Francisco are always a great time. Live music at the Belly-up, Humphry's or the Casbah is always fun.
Listening to Keb Mo, followed by some Joss Stone or Dave Matthews. Seafood is always a hit, but there is very little food I don't like. Love a weekend Kayak at La Jolla Cove followed by brunch at Piatti's.
Live music in small clubs. Surfing, sailing and traveling to new places. Dinner parties with friends and a good bottle of wine.
Anything by John Grisham, James Patterson and Nelson DeMille. I love to read, but usually only have time while traveling on business. I'm currently reading Gone Girl.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 500 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Galaxy The Room Facilities are Excellent The room is large and bright. The room facilities are excellent and trendy. The daily supply of accessories is sufficient. Should add a TV channel covering Hong Kong news. January 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by lienalan Wouldn't Stay Anywhere Else W hotels has to be my favorite hotel chain to stay at. I wouldn't think about staying anywhere else. January 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ChrisNick Nice and funky, but misses some points To be clear, this is a very good hotel, but for the rate, there were a few misses: 1. No turn down service 2. Housekeeping didn't tidy up the place adequately - ironing board left out instead of putting back into cupboard. The design, whilst funky, misses on the ergonomics, particularly the bath counter. The sink is too low (lower than waist height, which means you need to bed down considerably) and doesn't work for right handers due to the tap design and location (OK, this is good for lefthanders). The shaving mirro is off to the side, so you can't shave and wash your blade at the same time. And the dresser is off to the side of the mirror, so you can't do your hair / makeup while seated. Highly odd. January 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by nchan1688 Excellent location, extraordinary service I had a 3 night stay in Taipei with my family of 4, 2 of which are under the age of 5. We picked the W Hotel because it is conveniently located above the Taipei City Hall MRT station, not to mention that there's a shopping mall underneath. The hotel has a very modern and chic feel and offers a very different vibe. The lobby is located on the 10th floor and offers very convenient access (less than a 15 second walk) to the checkin counters and elevators to the room. In addition, the buffet restaurant is also located near the elevators, which was very convenient when travelling to and from the room with little children. The room itself was nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable with amenities you'd expect from a 5 star hotel. Love the fact that as an SPG member you get free Wi-Fi access around the hotel which was useful for us in using the Internet to plan our way around Taipei. Lastly I'd like to comment on the exceptional service. Everybody on the staff that we encountered, whether in the hallways, at the restaurant, or at the reception/concierge counters were extremely courteous, polite, and made us all feel very welcome. Normally, this is something I don't really remember, but even after we departed Taipei, my wife and I recounted to others how great the service was. When our 3 year old was acting fussy on the way out of the hotel, a staff member noticed and asked if we'd like to borrow a stroller to use for the duration of our stay. That attention to customers and their needs is what makes the entire experience very memorable. I highly recommend this hotel, and we'd gladly stay here again the next time we are in Taipei. January 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by sumkai Check-in CHeck-in took a little longer time than I expected but the greeting card and the complimentary items at night to celebrate our newly wed expected my expectation by your FO staff Maggie. I'd love to stay a few more nights to enjoy the facilities next time. January 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by w12345 great staff trendy decor. central to downtown, upscale January 11, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by RayHongKong Has theme, but lack of details Stayed in Marvellous suite. Staff is polite and friendly. Big space, However, hardware wise failed. Accessories lack of details to produce comforting experience. Sharp door and towel handles cause pain, edgy desk whose corners already broken, long and uncomfortable sofas, small hand washing basin, and splashing everywhere water faucets. All these show that design of this hotel misses the core very badly. Why I chose this hotel was mainly the location, hotel supposed to be good, and in shopping area. January 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 good location hotel is in a good location but not easy to access from hotel room to parking lot. location of swimming pool is not good either. January 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by CHCH Room Clealiness There is a stale smell in the room. Perhaps you can place air freshener or aromatherapy incense in the room for compliementery use by guests. January 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by yaksha98 Exemplary service Unfortunately I arrived at the W Taipei with a bad cold and a fever - upon check-in Maggie at reception noticed and sent a tray of hot water, lemon, honey and orange juice to the room. Truly wonderful service! The Whatever/Whenever service was also fantastic, bringing an icepack later that evening. Despite the illness, I had a very memorable stay at the W Taipei and will surely be back, hopefully sans illness! January 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by T888 Disappointed with the sane elevator to rooms and 31st floor Chinese restaurant Please make a separate elevator for the top floor Chinese restaurant. January 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Edkhwong Lost n Found It had been my most memorable stay at W Taipei the past weekend. First left my passport wallet in the taxi. Staffs at G/F concierge really helpful on checking the CCTV then asked the taxi driver to return to the hotel for further searching of the wallet. By the time we were filing the report at the police station, W staffs searched the entire trunk and underneath the seats. Too bad they came up with the wallet, so we would definitely be staying at W for longer period. Second, the housekeeping staffs found my unpacked iPod on the bedside table after we checked out in the morning. We really appreciate your staffs integrity and honesty. W hotel is always on our highest priority hotel list in the future. Thanks and regards, Edwin January 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aeronic Great hotel! W Hotel Taipei is one of the best hotels I've stayed so far of the SPG hotels. Beautifully decorated, very chic and modern. Most impressive is the toilet which provides a fully automated toilet bowl making me feel like I was back in Japan, really nice. However, there were still slight disappointments during my stay. One of which was that the swimming pool was closed as I have been anticipating to use this swimming pool. Another thing that I had to pick on was that the room's kettle could be better situated or "wired" such that it's easier to use. Last but not least, I must commend the staff of W Taipei. They were really warm and friendly. Before we even reached the doorstep of the hotel, two staff already came to us seeing us dragging our luggage and helped us with the luggage as well as lead us to check in. The Whatever, Whenever service was also fantastic as I had requested for paper bags and more tea which were all given to promptly. Kudos to the service level for W Hotel Taipei and I thank you for the great stay! January 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ANNABELLETAP Wonderful Wow Hotel W Hotel is the best location in Taipei and of course its Wonderful staff definitely added to our Wonderful stay!! January 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by LukeHK Helpful staff Rebeca at the welome desk has been particularly helpful. We have altered our travel arrangement many times and she has done everythng to accommodate our wishes. Thank you Rebeca ! However, we found the contact with Whatever quite annoying. We have never got a straight answer. January 3, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by LuckyCo Excellent Service W hotel has impressed me as one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff are friendly and their service is personal and thoughtful. The staff at the concierge and cafe have all walked an extra mile to serve their customers!! They are not just doing their jobs!! They show respect at what they are doing! I will surely stay at W each time when I go to Taipei!! I have stayed at W Taipei for more than three times and their service has been consistently high!! Well done! December 31, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by brentS great deco a very modern yet comfortable room. however, the only downside is that you need to switch elevator from lobby to guest room and vice versa. December 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michael23 Incredible Hotel- No other words can describe it!!! First of all, the location is incredible for shopping. It is at the center of everything with a complete mall within the building as well. The service was beyond reproach. We felt like we were special guests of the owner. Every wish was catered to. We returned from shopping after the hotel restaurants closed so we enjoyed dinner in our room. It took 30 minues from phone call to knock on the door with our order and everything was perfect. They offer the complete menu 24 hours a day. The T-Bone was so thick and perfectly cooked, the shrimp, sauteed mushrooms and creamy spinich were also incredible, but the deserts OMG, they made our day then we had the concierge set us up with a massage at a local respectable place at midnight after we were done eating. We were bent on seeing and doing everything before departing for home the next afternoon.The inside of the hotel made us feel like we were wisked off to some far away paradise. I have never been so amazed at the room let alone the hallways as to take a picture, but seeign is believing. You absolutely have to stay in this hotel. They had models taking pictures and special shows...just too much to describe. December 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by KenK Only one cons of W Taipei I enjoyed staying W Taipei from 17th to 19th Dec. Room was upgraded to Sweet room and I was impressed because it was well organized design and great space. The only one cons was bowl in Restroom. The faucet outlet is out of center of bowl and it was in the edge, so when I wash hands water went easy to notoriously off the bowl and spreded around bowl. I have to clean water every time after washing hands and it was made me exasperate. I think it is very good design, but good design must be a good for user. Hope it will be remediated in near future. December 20, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pedigreebull Hotel with a buzz Without a doubt, this hotel has a buzz, in the main entrance level, at the lobby on the 10F, in the gym, at the pool, at the bar, you name it. If you are looking for a quiet break, the only quiet you will get is in the room. Everywhere else has an energy about it....good and bad, depending on your needs and your interest. Personally, it works for me because there enough of the quiet when and where I need it e.g. at the gym and the restaurants on the upper level. But other comments....there must be something right missing, right? In the past, there was an option of different types of pillows in the room (you could call for the type of pillow you fancy based on a pillow 'menu') but this has been withdrawn with nothing to replace this great feature. Also, in the past, they would offer a little fruit basket together with a few chocolates in a champagne glass. This has been replaced with 3 test tube looking containers containing M&M candies and nuts. This is funky looking but definitely not for me....if cost is a consideration, hotel should offer guests option of fruits or candies. Not everyone fancies candies /nuts. Fruits are a healthy and harmless option. Next is the liquid soap. When one bottle is half used, for goodness sake provide an additional new bottle. Otherwise, for people like me who showers twice a day, I run out of soap in the morning….. Newspaper as well….please ask when checking in what is the preferred newspaper…not everyone reads International Herald Tribune (yawn). One of the more expensive hotels around but great all round hotel otherwise! December 15, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by KennethKristy Good hotel to stay Conveniently located. Good staff services. Proactive to offer excellent service. December 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by BusinessTraveler10122 Great Hotel My experience at this W was top notch. The facilities were very nice, what you would expect from a W. The gym was surprisingly big and functional. Most hotel "gyms" are pretty much a couple of treadmills and an old bowflex machine. It was a nice surprise to have a full working gym and equipment. The Kitchen Table restaurant was very, very nice. I loved the motif and was also a buffet style, but the rare buffet with excellent options and very flavorful food. The thing that really stood out however was the staff. I do a lot of business travel and I think, overall Taiwan has some of the world's best service in general. However, that is no reason not to give this particular staff an enthusiastic thumbs up. VERY attentive, VERY helpful/willing to go the extra mile and great attitude across the board. The only thing at all I could mention as a potential improvement is the amount of space available for a quiet impromptu meeting, or a place to work with colleagues. This hotel has tons of private rooms, but they are not open to the general public without prior booking. The "Wired" area was quite small, and while it did have a nice little conference room attached, if anyone was in there, you were pretty much out of luck for a place to work with others. December 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by FY777 Fabulous Fabulous Room Great Location in heart of Taipei. Train station beside the hotel. Well-connected to shopping malls. short distance to Taipei 101. Great service. Most importantly rooms are modern and clean. will be back soon. December 8, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by pawt2012 Gorgeous hotel I have stayed here about half a dozen times, each time upgraded to a spacious Marvelous Suite with gorgeous city views. Some of the upgrades were complimentary platinum upgrade and some used suite upgrade certificates, the overall success was 100%. The hotel in a great location directly above the MRT City Hall station, offers what I consider the best views, facilities, and top service in Taipei. Definitely 5 star. Unfortunately, the over 1000 sq. ft. suites with fantastic views apparently attract a lot of younger people to hold private parties. Every single stay the suite was filled with either cigarette or grass smells or alcohol smells or both, mixed with the strong odors of detergent used to clean the room. This experience was amazingly also 100%. I have also heard from the children of some friends in Taipei that their friends have rented the suite and then let a dozen or more others to go in for partying. The staff are always very pleasant and helpful, but the check in process has been slow most of the times. Some of the extraordinary delays appear to be related to the time the counter agent trying to find a specific suite for upgrade. Overall a great hotel on an excellent location. Hopefully there can be some serious consideration of the tradeoff of profit versus quality in managing the rental of the suites. December 7, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amy0330 Great fitness facilitises best hotel fitness suite i have ever seen. outstanding 3 temperature baths and great steam and sauna. awesome array of fitness machines and weights. we would come back for this alone, it was so much better than what you get elsewhere. rooms were great. December 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Asiancabincrew The staff at W Taipei are genuinely pleasant and very professional. The purpose of this this stay was to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday and her first time in Taipei. The hotel has met her expectations, and she enjoyed her stay immensely. Although my family tried three times to reach our room with no avail, the hotel switch board was so busy that they got a continuous busy tone. But the staff offered to correct the problem, and Sacchi was very genuine and sincere to address this issue. December 3, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by paul8lam Average, at this level of price and management. Electric kettles need immediate attention as it's completely useless - takes 20 mins to complete boiling water. Air con temp control is fuzzy to use - at 24 degree it fans out cool air but if you feel a bit chilly and bring it up to 25, it turns to heater mode. December 3, 2012

Over the last 15 years, I have developed a wide range of websites using HMTL, CSS, PHP, and MySQL including sites for startup companies and small corporations. My core competency lies in complete end-end management of a new website development projects, and I am seeking opportunities to build websites from the ground up for you or your business. I am overly competent in database management and have superior knowledge of internet security from experiences from both ends of the spectrum, I have been a hacker in the past and now use this knowledge to better my penetration testing skills.I have many tools that I use to offer clients that guaranteed the most in depth penetration test of their websites. I charge $125.00 for the test, along with a very in-depth compliance report that will explain all vulnerabilities found to you the client. When you hire me for just programming, not only can you rest assured that you will automatically get a secured script and you will not have to worry about sql, xss and csrf vulnerabilities from any part of the scripts that I write. Security is my main focus when writing a script! I have skills in jquery animation, animations with new technology such as adobe edge currently in prototype stage (which will most likely deprecate flash), I have worked on almost every type of website there is from database driven cms, to static html, from real estate websites to javascript driven penny auctions, I have created gaming websites such as knightcrusaders.com, and I also offer server tuning for those who have dedicated servers and find that their websites are just moving to slow, I can optimize queries, tune mysql and php. Again I do have have over 15 years of experience so if there is something I have not listed feel free to ask and I will let you know if I have the ability to do it! I have taken several of the odesk test in order to ensure the client that I do know what I am talking about, I am in top 20% in a few categories which is by far not an easy accomplishment.

I remember the Hitman
series as a refreshing break from my usual diet of shooters and
sports games and the occasional RPG. Blood
Money, Hitman's final iteration was definitely its greatest.
Although, it was not nearly as dark Contracts, it was the most
cinematic and fun. It controlled far better than the any previous
Hitman game. Each level was essentially one huge puzzle for you to
solve. And Blood Money had some great puzzles, with varied
environments, tasks, enemies and more cool than an advertisement
campaign targeted at adolescents.
I wasn't a fan of it's trial and error gameplay, though, but I have no idea how to work around that and maintain its trademark gameplay style. Also, if they could find a way to make multiplayer work and go beyond the obvious guards vs. hitman, but work out a way for multiple hitmen to compete for a target (sort of like smokin' aces except with Hitman's stealth). It would come back bigger than it ever was.

Do you think the public should have the opportunity vote on the proposed rec center?
jhawkinsf 2 years, 7 months ago
If I thought 50% of eligible voters would actually come out and voice their opinion, I'd say yes. If I thought that number was 40% or even 30%, I'd say yes. But we've had elections with turnouts in the 16% range, which causes me to wonder if that is truly the will of the people speaking or is it just a few imposing their opinions on the majority. That may or may not be any better than simply having our elected officials unilaterally make the decision.
JayCat_67 2 years, 7 months ago
Still should let the public vote. If 84% choose to not vote on the issue, then they have in effect "voted" to let the other 16% decide for them, and should have no reason to complain if the results don't go their way.
jhawkinsf 2 years, 7 months ago
Wouldn't the same argument be valid if we simply said let our elected officials make the decisions they were elected to make? It seems to me that either both are valid or neither is valid.
JayCat_67 2 years, 7 months ago
I am grasping what you are saying. But when there's this much money involved, I'd rather the electorate decide directly. It's much easier for a developer or other interested party to influence a handful of council members especially if they already have ties to one another. Call me jaded.
jhawkinsf 2 years, 7 months ago
I've always wonder if you held an election and no one voted, would you still have a democracy? If the number who voted was exceedingly small, would it be significant? Does it tell you anything about the will of the people? And if in fact you reach some point of meaninglessness when the vote totals are very low, what number would we assign to that?
I'm not opposed to a vote, but if 9% vote one way and 7% vote the other, with 84% staying home, then I'm just as comfortable with elected officials making the decision and saving the cost of a special election. Call me cynical.
jafs 2 years, 7 months ago
Ok - you're cynical.
George Lippencott 2 years, 7 months ago
Let we understand this. In 1994 some percentage of the 60K population voted for a sales tax with a fair amount of specificity provided by the then "lawgivers". Nobody noticed that there was no sundown clause. Now the current "lawgivers" argue that the current 85K population (wonder how many actually were here and voted in 1994) are bound by the 20 year old vote even though there is an undercurrent seeking a new one.
Are our lawgivers convinced the voters actually support this initiative or are they afraid of the opposite and are intent on approving it with a hand wave to public opinion? I thought I lived in a progressive participatory city? (Are we not a blue dot in a red sea?) How can we argue about cuts in social services at the state level when our apparent highest priority is an additional recreation facility?
You would think our local state delegation would voice some concern??
Richard Heckler 2 years, 7 months ago
It is an assumption that we elect officials to spend any way they want. I have never subscribed to such nonsense.
This is not for the kids. This is for the Chamber of Commerce and the real estate industry. Of course the real estate industry owns the Chamber of Commerce.
The powers that be only see new housing sales which is quite a narrow vision and one that is not sustainable without increased taxes. Every time our water rate increases that is a tax increase. Every time admission to the swimming pool increases that is a tax increase. Every time another mile of infrastructure is laid out that is a tax increase. Every time the cost of anything goes up that is a tax increase. These increases can be forced down our throats to cover the cost of expansion.
Or cover the cost of this field house project. And the $20 million USD497 PLAY ( athletic project) which was and is a tax increase.

Why are most things in your town for the elite? I cannot believe how much it costs for a child to play soccer or baseball. (yes, I know they have "scholarships") Maybe it's so pricey because you do not have a YMCA?
Now, a recreation center is desired which will be placed in the WESTERN more elite part of town. This really prohibits a lot of lower income people from being able to take advantage of the facility. Not everyone has a car, or can afford extra gasoline to drive across town. It is certainly not safe for a child to ride a bike to the center.
I realize that there are many wonderful, inexpensive or free activities in your lovely village. However, many things there reek of elitism, and I think that the location of this faciilty just plain stinks.
JackMcKee 2 years, 7 months ago
There are other city rec centers and they are spaced pretty evenly all over Lawrence. That part of town has the aquatic center, but nothing like this.
love2fish_ks 2 years, 7 months ago
Parks and Rec maintenance is already funded at a level that cannot keep pace with current demands. Development cost is small compared to the long term cost.
Step One should be to take care of what the city currently has and start funding the upkeep.
carrjo 2 years, 7 months ago
You are the first one to mention the upkeep on this center. We have other centers that are in need of repair or be built on to yet here we are wanting to spend $$$ just because Coach donated money for it to be built. His money will be gone and we will be stuck with the remaining costs.
Richard Heckler 2 years, 7 months ago
This issue is Do Taxpayers WANT to spend the tax dollar this way?

Hello Kiss listeners!!!
Ok, so I'm guessing most- if not all of you- know about Instagram. Take pictures of things happening in your life and make them look sweet. Pictures are great and all but don't have the same effect as a video. Video sharing has been rejuvenated by the lovely folks at Twitter. I was introduced to this app by a friend who is all about the latest technology, and instantly fell in love with it. Like Viddy and Socialcam, Vine focuses on creating short clips- six seconds long- that can be more easily uploaded and viewed on mobile devices. Unlike Viddy and Socialcam, Vine has a simpler approach. Users must hold a finger to the screen to record and can pause a recording by taking their finger off the screen, this allows them to cut away to include something else in the six-second clip. It's a fun way to share what you're doing in your life; check it out (if you haven't already!)
*The App is only available for IPhone and IPod touch as of now, but you can view the videos on Android supported devices.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- The West Virginia Senate has authorized the construction of the state's sixth casino.
The casino would be located in Franklin near the Virginia border.
Revenues at the state's five existing casinos are expected to fall by more than $200 million this year. The bill's sponsors said that because of its location, the new casino would not take business from them. It would hope to draw customers primarily from Virginia.
To build the casino, the developers would have to submit plans to build 1,000 home sites and a 150-room hotel. The entire project would have to cost at least $60 million.
The bill passed Wednesday on a 25-8 vote.
The Senate also ordered a study of the state's casinos as they continue to struggle with increased competition from neighboring states.

A digital storage device comprises a crystalline substrate such as silicon in which pockets of amorphous substrate material represent one of the binary logic states; the absence of amorphous material represents the other logic state. The amorphous material is formed by irradiation with a laser beam. Typically the radiation for silicon is at 347 nanometers, 2.5 nanosecond pulse length. The power density varies with crystalline orientation; for (001) silicon it is typically 0.3 J/cm2 and for (111) silicon it is 0.3 to 0.6 J/cm2. Erasure of the information is achieved by laser annealing the amorphous material back to its crystalline form.
1. A method of making a digital storage device by selectively irradiating a crystalline or polycrystalline silicon substrate with laser radiation to form uniform amorphous regions in the surface of the substrate representing logic one and zero states, the laser radiation being of a wavelength less than 400 nanometers, applied for a time between 0.1 and 10 nanoseconds, with an energy density in the range of 0.1 to 0.8 J/cm2 so that most of the radiation is absorbed in the top approximately 3000 Å of the substrate which rapidly melts and rapidly freezes into an amorphous state.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the laser radiation is directed through a transparent material forming a support fixed to the substrates.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the (111) surface of the substrate is irradiated.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the (001) surface of the substrate is irradiated.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the substrate is cooled prior to irradiation.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the substrate is cooled down to 77� K.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein amorphous regions are annealed to crystalline or polycrystalline regions by heating by laser irradiation and a slower cooling.
This invention relates to digital storage device in which the binary ones and zeros are represented by two different states of a material.
One form of storage device uses a disc having a spiral track. Microscopic pits or the absence of pits represent the logic ones or zero state. These pits modulate the reflectance of the track when suitably illuminated. A detector picks up this modulation for processing into a video signal. Such a disc is used for video recording in place of magnetic tape.
Another form of disc storage device is used by computers. The disc is selectively magnetisable along tracks to represent ones and zeros which are read by magnetic reading heads. Magnetic tape is also used in digital computers, to store information.
Other forms of storage devices include the known
RAM-random access memory;
ROM-read only memory;
EPROM-electrically programmable read only memory, etc.,
employing a multiplicity of metal-oxide-silicon capacitors whose state, i.e. charged or uncharged, represent logic states.
Silicon in amorphous form is known to have a different reflectivity to the crystalline form. Attempts have been made to amorphise crystalline silicon using laser radiation. An article by Liu, Yen & Bloembergen in Appl. Phys. Lett. 34(12) June 15, 1979 pp 864/866 describes use of a 30 picosecond pulse at 532 nanometer wavelength. The article suggests that an amorphous ring pattern was obtained. An article by Tsu, Hodgson, Tan, & Baglin in Phys. Rev. Lett. 42(20) May 14, 1979 pp 1356/8 describes irradiation at 265 nm by a 10 nanosecond pulse. Again an amorphous ring is suggested. Neither of these described techniques is suitable for high speed writing of information, both produce a depth and uniformity of allegedly amorphous silicon that is inadequate for reliable information storage.
According to this invention logic ones and zeros states in a digital storage device are represented by amorphous and crystalline or polycrystalline states of a material such as silicon. Amorphous silicon has a different reflectance and absorption to crystalline and polycrystalline silicon. The two different conditions of the silicon are formed by laser irradiation. Crystalline silicon may be amorphised by a short pulse of short wavelength laser radiation. This causes a rapid melting of say a 1,000 Å layer of silicon followed by a very rapid cooling in which the silicon is unable to freeze into its crystalline form. A longer period of heating by laser radiation allows amorphous silicon to recrystallise. Thus information may be written and erased many times along a silicon surface.
According to this invention a digital storage device comprises a crystalline or polycrystalline substrate in which discrete regions are formed into an amorphous state.
The substrate may be silicon and may be self supporting or formed on a supporting base of sapphire, glass, plastics, etc.
The discrete amorphous regions may be along a linear or curved track, or arranged in a matrix formation.
A laser and detector may be arranged above the surface of the device. In this case the laser directs radiation onto the surface and the detector monitors changes in surface reflectance. Alternatively the detector may be below the substrate and detect laser radiation transmitted through the device.
According to this invention a method of storing digital information comprises the steps of selectively irradiating a substrate with laser radiation to form amorphous regions in a crystalline or polycrystalline surface; the laser radiation being of high frequency and short pulse length so that most of the radiation is absorbed in the top ˜3,000 Å of the substrate.
The substrate may be silicon with a surface orientation of (111) of (001). The laser radiation may be in the blue to ultra-violet region of the spectrum e.g. at 347 nm from a frequency doubled Q switched ruby laser. For a (111) surface the pulse length may be 10 to 0.1 nanoseconds typically 2.5 nsec with a power density of 0.1 to 0.8 J/cm2 typically 0.3 to 0.6 J/cm2. For a (001) surface the pulse length is the same but the energy density is about 0.1 to 0.3 J/cm2 typically 0.3 J/cm2.
Deeper pockets of amorphous material may be obtained by cooling the substrate e.g. with liquid nitrogen to 77� K. Power density required for this cooled operation should be increased by about 1.5 to 2 times.
Another laser may be a synchronous mode argon ion pumped dye (e.g. stilbene) laser typically mode locked at 50 MHz on a 3�3 μm pocket. Another type of laser is an Excimer laser at 300-400 nm.
Crystalline material other than silicon may be used, for example GaAs, InP and other semiconductors.
The invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings of which:
FIG. 1 is a side view of a disc storage device illuminated by a laser and read by transmission through the disc;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of part of the disc of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a plan view of part of the disc of FIG. 1.
As shown in the drawings a disc storage device 1 comprises a crystalline silicon substrate 2 supported on a sapphire base 3. A central hole locates the disc on a spindle 5. The silicon substrate 2 has a spiral truck 6 along which are formed pockets 7 or regions of amorphous silicon. Each pocket 7 represents a logic state, e.g. logic one, and no pocket represents e.g. logic zero.
A helium neon or similar c.w. laser 8 and lens system 9 illuminates the disc 1 with a 10 μm spot diameter beam of radiation. Beneath the disc 1 and below the laser 8 is a photodetector 10 sensitive to the laser radiation. Output from the detector 10 is to a computer 11 or to a television monitor with digital decoder for use in a known manner.
In operation the disc 1 is rotated and the laser 8 and detector 10 together traversed to follow the spiral track 6. Output from the detector 10 is a string of logic ones and zeros. This is similar to the magnetic disc storage on computers.
The pockets 7 of amorphous silicon are formed as follows. A Q-switched laser output beam is passed through a frequency doubler and focussed onto the substrate, e.g. as shown in FIG. 1 but no detector is needed. A typical frequency is 347 nm. Radiation at this frequency is mostly absorbed in the top 3,000 Å of substrate. A pulse length of around 2.5 nsec. with a power density of around 0.3 J/cm2 is used on (001) silicon substrates. For a (111) silicon substrate the power density can be 0.3 to 0.6 J/cm2. As a result of this irradiation a 1,000 to 2,000 Å thick layer of silicon is heated very rapidly to about 1,500� C. Following extinction of the heating radiation this molten layer cools very rapidly; the rate being so fast that recrystallisation cannot take place across the whole layer thickness. The result is a pocket of amorphous silicon typically 10 μm diameter and 200 to 800 Å deep. The diameter is mostly controlled by the irradiation beam diameter since the sideways diffusion of heat is small e.g. about 1 μm. Thus high storage directly is achievable e.g. 1M bit/cm2 with a pocket size of 100 μm2. The depth of the pockets is partly dependent on the irradiation frequency which is preferably in the blue to ultra-violet region. Ultra-violet is absorbed within about 3,000 Å of the silicon surface. The crystalline orientation also controls the depth of the pocket because the critical cooling rate necessary to give amorphous silicon varies with surface orientation. (111) silicon gives particularly deep amorphous pockets for given irradiation conditions. Additionally, when the silicon is formed on a transparent e.g. glass support, the laser radiation may be directed through the glass onto the silicon. The glass assists in rapid cooling of the heated silicon to give a deep amorphous pocket, e.g. 1,000 Å or more deep. The support may be arranged on both sides of the silicon.
To remove the pocket of amorphous silicon it is heated above about 1,000� C. and the melt is allowed to cool sufficiently slowly to reform in its crystalline state, e.g. solidify in about 0.1 μsec or longer. This may be achieved by a laser radiation of 694 nm frequency, 30 ns pulse length, and 1.5 J/cm2 energy density.
The whole disc may be written and erased as required by the two different laser radiations. To erase large areas a laser beam diffuser may be used to ensure a uniform power density; such a diffuser is described in G.B. patent application No. 2,037,000 A (U.S. Ser. No. 96,299).
Disc storage devices may also be used in a reflective mode. In this case the detector and laser are above the silicon surface. Reflected radiation varies with the state, i.e. crystalline or amorphous, of the substrate.
When operating in this reflective mode the silicon substrate may be much thicker, even self supporting. Also pockets of amorphous silicon can be written on both sides of the disc.
An alternative storage device is in the form of a tape having a silicon surface which is selectively irradiated to an amorphous state.
In both disc and tape devices the silicon may be crystalline i.e. a single crystal, or polycrystalline with crystal size sufficient to give a worthwhile transmission/reflectance difference with amorphous silicon. Polycrystalline silicon may be amorphised as described above and re-annealed to polycrystalline form.
Another form of storage device is used to form a reprogrammable random access memory (R.A.M.). A layer of crystalline (or polycrystalline) silicon has pockets of amorphous silicon formed in a matrix arrangement by pulsed irradiation using a scanning laser beam controlled by a suitable deflection device. In one form the R.A.M. is cooled to liquid nitrogen temperature to enhance the depth of pockets. A second scanning laser beam is caused to be incident on any desired spot in the matrix and is used to read the stored information. The presence or absence of an amorphous pocket indicates a digital one or zero state. The matrix of amorphous silicon pockets may be erased by a further suitable scanning laser beam.
The deflection device may be one or more mirrors or rotating facets that provide a scanning of the matrix. Such scanning systems are known in thermal imaging systems and projection or flying spot displays, e.g. GB No. 425,552 (1934) and European Patent Specification No. 0,014,548 (based on U.S. Ser. No. 9628 filed Feb. 5, 1979).
