First Kick may be the theme of this glorious, glorious day but the word of the day is "free."
This weekend you can experience MLS Live, our online streaming match service, and our long-running TV package, Direct Kick, for free.
Take a look at this weekend's schedule of games and head to over MLS Live to register for today's free preview. Please note that the usual blackout policies may apply. And if you are an iPhone or iPad user download MatchDay 2012 from the iTunes store, where it is currently a featured app, for viewing on the go.
Awesome stuff, right? Don't say we never gave you anything.
Former MLS & USMNT defender Jimmy Conrad: "What percentage of your players play for the money and how many play for the love of the game?"
American soccer uber-agent Richard Motzkin: "What did you do, Jimmy?"
Jimmy Conrad: "Of course it's for the love of the game."
Jimmy Conrad is a liar. A talented, tall, funny liar.
For a long time, the San Jose Earthquakes were the only MLS club going with a name that dated back to the original NASL. They weren't the first to fully embrace their NASL heritage though (hat tip to the Sounders for inventing that).
But the club is making up for lost time with this year's season-ticket packages, which featuring several nods back to the disco-era Quakes of the past. Among the connections they're making to the earliest incarnation of the Earthquakes are:
- Throwback NASL jerseys to season ticket holders who paid in full by the final home game of 2011
- "EST. 1974" has been added below the collar on the back of the 2012 jersey
- Ticket books include photos, like the one above, from different generations of soccer in San Jose
This is in addition to last year's dedication of the George Best Gate at Buck Shaw Stadium, which will have a monitor playing a loop of Best scoring "The Greatest Goal Ever" for 2012.
It's all good stuff but I'm partial to the old school photos on the tickets. Is there anything more retro-cool than having George Best and Johnny Moore in your hands on game day?
With First Kick only weeks away it's time to start thinking about making all of the necessary purchases that make your season complete.
You'll need your tickets, your new kit and your new, officially licensed MLS gnome for sure. You'll also need MLS Live for those days that you can't make it out to the stadium in your kit with your gnome (they're for good luck).
MLS Live, formerly known as MatchDay Live, is an all-new product for the 2012 season, completely rebuilt and reimagined. MLS Live offers high quality, HD streams in Flash that will be available across multiple devices; one subscription will allow you to access 230+ games via computer, iPad, iPhone, Roku & Panasonic TV's. That's one price, 5 devices.
And what's the price? $59.99 for the season. Not a bad deal at all.
MLS Live launches soon...very soon. For more information visit MLSsoccer.com in the coming days.
March 11 can't come soon enough. Block out your schedule, take the day off, hire a sitter ... just do what you have to do to be in front of the TV at 3 pm ET.
You will not want to miss the debut of MLS on NBC.
There aren't many jobs in MLS, or for that matter in the professional soccer world in the United States and Canada. So, if you want one, you might as well give yourself the best chance possible by getting the training you need.
For salespeople, that means heading up to Blaine, Minnesota, to the MLS National Sales Center. Founded in 2011 to train salespeople specifically to succeed in the soccer industry, the NSC is like a front-office equivalent to the development academies each MLS club has established.
"We give a 'selling foundation' to aspiring salespeople that will effectively prepare them to sell for MLS clubs," says NSC founder Bryant Pfeiffer. "This is a big contributor to our desire to sell out every MLS stadium."
The NSC is currently looking for applicants for its next session, which begins in March. Trainees accepted into the program, which lasts up to four months, receive a stipend to help offset the coasts of room and board in Minnesota. There are also opportunities to earn commission while attending the program.
But it is the training and the door-opening opportunity that is most valuable. In addition to the real-life sales experience of selling for MLS clubs, trainees benefit from instructional feedback from audio and video analysis and innovative coaching from local improv theatre instructors. After each month, those who qualify are given the opportunity to apply their training through the selling of season, group and mini-plan ticket packages and are offered a job interview with participating MLS clubs.
Already, 60 NSC graduates have gone on to get jobs at MLS clubs.
"Our belief is that the graduates of the program can not only make a fast impact in growing the game," Pfeiffer says, "but also become dominant salespeople at the same time."
For more information or to apply go to www.mlsnationalsalescenter.com.
Eddie Gaven's beard is a sell out! But for a five-year sponsorship deal your beard would be too...maybe even during the playoffs for the right price.
Oh, come on, you're not that surprised, are you?
The Washington Post's Steven Goff reported yesterday that former US men's national team coach Bob Bradley made $400,000 in bonuses from April 2010 to March 2011, a sum that put his total earnings at almost a million bucks.
Reading that makes me think one thing and one thing only: Good for Bob. He earned that money, as far as I'm concerned. And even if his round of 16 finish at the World Cup wasn't enough for you (and if it wasn't, get over yourself), he still earned a reported 1.5 million dollars less than Jurgen Klinsmann will make this year.
Moreover, Bradley recently donated two months of his salary to the victims of the Port Said tragedy, so it's not like he's blowing his money on a third Bugatti. I don't begrudge the man for being good at what he does, and I don't mind that he's getting paid well for it, either.
Who says you can't go home again?
Former Vancouver Whitecaps DP Mustapha Jarju is returning to the scene of his greatest successes as a footballer: RAEC Mons. The Gambian international scored 34 goals in 99 league matches for the Belgian club between 2008-11. He scored none in 10 appearances for the 'Caps, a record which didn't quite inspire new manager Martin Rennie to keep him around for a second year.
Earlier today the Red Bulls announced their latest signing, little-known American keeper Jeremy Vuolo. Where did they find him? The Finnish Ykkönen or first division.
So let's recount the membership of Scandinavian-connected contingent currently calling Harrison, NJ home:
Technical Staff
- Sporting Director Erik Soler (native of Norway)
- Head Coach Hans Backe (native of Sweden)
- Assistant Coach Jan Halvor Halversen (native of Norway)
Players: under contract
- Markus Holgersson (native of Sweden)
- Jan Gunnar Solli (native of Norway)
- Teemu Tainio (native of Finland)
- Brian Nielsen (native of Denmark)
- Jonathan Barrajo (spent 2010-11 with Hamarkameratene of Norway)
- Joel Lindpere (spent three seasons with Tromso of Norway)
- Roy Miller (spent 2005-09 with clubs in both Norway and Sweden)
- Jeremy Vuolo (spent 2011 with Finnish side AC Oulu)
Players: unsigned, currently in camp
- Willis Forko (spent 2008-10 with FK Bodø/Glimt of Norway)
Players: unsigned, linked to the club
- Victor Pálsson (native of Iceland who claims to be negotiating with the club)
It's a shame this is all happening with the Red Bulls. Not because these are bad players or anything like that. It's just that if there was ever a club screaming out to have "IKEA" slapped on the front of its jersey this is it; I hate to see good kit sponsorship potential go to waste.

5 Bankruptcy Inquiries To Ask Your Lawyer Just before Recording
If you assume that being broke is the worst thing that might take place to you than think again! Yes you are right… Worst is however to come, yet of course you are able to moderate as well as reduce that worst instance by just making right decisions!

lawyers brisbane
Truths about deciding on the Attorneys:
As most of the lawyers are normally exhausted, they usually aren't able to give ear to complete details of your instance. You might feel that your lawyer isn't really going after your situation the way you wish him or her to go after as well as eventually you will certainly feel inflamed.
Many of the attorneys aren't trained adequate to lead your personal bankruptcy instance. So such attorneys do not satisfy your expectations. Certificates are necessary signs to evaluate whether the lawyer is trained sufficient or not.
Asking from pals won't take you to any sort of really good lawyer, unless your good friend has born recording for bankruptcy however it may be useful to take advice from legal professionals.
You are able to also go to a bankruptcy court as well as observe the lawyers there. Possibly in the course of your observation, you can identify some attorneys who are good enough for you.
When you locate the attorney, you may indulge yourself absolutely by inquiring him or her the suitable concerns. A short conversation could inform you a great deal about the attorney you have definitely gone for. You could ask him regarding his experience and his working and examination hrs. After chat, you can easily look at the lawyer to watch if that lawyer is definitely correct for you or not!
The moment you decide on the lawyer, you should go over by having him or her exactly what type of personal bankruptcy must you record? There are eight assorted sorts for filing personal bankruptcy. You attorney could best point out which variety suits you for recording personal bankruptcy.
brisbane solicitors – An Update
The second thing is, you need to inquire him or her how you are able to file for personal bankruptcy. You need to file for your personal bankruptcy in the state where you are living. The Lawyer is able to ready the needed documents that will be had to offer to the courts.
Third, you have to realize the charges that are involved in the filing for bankruptcy. The absolute rates will certainly make up of the lawyer's costs plus the court rates that you should submit to file for your personal bankruptcy.
Fourth, you should recognize where you really should file your personal bankruptcy claim. You must consult your attorney on just how to find there and what documents is required.
Finally you should realize the after effects of filing for personal bankruptcy. When you file for personal bankruptcy, creditors may obtain notice from the courts and may not be allowed to contact debtor for payments. A hearing in court may be determined. The instance will certainly move on according to type of bankruptcy indexed.
Bear in mind that this is your battle, so you need to be certainly involved in it and also adopt the case. You just can easily not leave all the things on the attorney!

text: Hello everyone! I am really happy that I have finally found a RPing site. I haven't really RP'd in maybe a year? I love to RP but haven't really been able to because everyone kinda quits and it just makes me kind of sad if I am the only one posting. I am really into romance, drama, horror type RPs but anything that catches my interest I promise to do my best. I am a major otaku so all my previous RPs seem to have that anime like feel. I love my fiction because isn't one of the reasons we RP is to escape reality and enter a world where we can truly live? I prefer one on one but groups don't bother me at all. I think that would be it (at least for now hehehe). Please take care of me from now on!

Stephen Sawchuk's recent Ed Week article on the new wave of teacher evaluation systems—and the high ratings they're generating—has likely left many reformers scratching their heads.
Stephen points out that in states like Tennessee and Florida, which are hotbeds for Michelle Rhee–type teaching policies, the vast majority of teachers are quite effective. Even in Florida, where teachers are judged by standardized test score gains, 97 percent received top ratings. In Tennessee's new system, more than 16 percent of the teachers were rated with the lowest score on test score measures. Only 0.2 percent of those observed by principals were categorized as ineffective.
While there are many policymakers—and virtually all of our nation's 3.2 million teachers themselves—who want to see more rigorous and valid evaluation systems that strengthen teaching practices, there are also reformers who want nothing more than to identify ineffective teachers and dismiss them. But overall, we need to shift our focus from what's not working for the ineffective minority to how we can ensure continued growth for the effective majority.
Although scholars have long pointed out the problems of current teacher evaluation systems (see Art Wise and Linda Darling-Hammond's 1984 research (PDF) and its seminal findings), there is still much to learn about the validity of the programs that are being put into place today.
Even when pains are taken to create a fair and reliable ratings system, such as the Measures of Effective Teaching project, flaws still abound. Jesse Rothstein and colleagues found that in each of the multiple measures (standardized test score gains, classroom observations, and student engagement ratings) used in the carefully designed project reflects a distinct dimension of teaching. They also noted that "none of the three types of performance measures captures much of the variation in teachers' impacts on alternative, conceptually demanding tests."
What none of these analyses suggest is how teaching conditions must change before we can design and implement a valid and reliable evaluation system.
Both principals and teachers must have more time to look carefully at the data and make sense of it. In top-performing nations like Singapore, teachers only teach students 18 to 20 hours a week. Here in the U.S., we devote little organizational space to assembling sound evidence, analyzing it, and applying professional judgment to determine who is effective and why—and how to help them get better.
In Singapore there is no obsession with standardized test scores. Teachers are evaluated on how they nurture the child, work with parents, and care for both the heart and mind. In Singapore, evaluation is not a number (or three of them); it is a narrative that encourages teachers to expand their teaching repertoire, select a career track, and take those developmental actions that lead to greater competence and higher levels on a career lattice. Teachers' evaluations are based on the experience level of the teacher, since the level of competence expected of a new teacher is much lower than expectations for senior teachers. But most importantly, the evaluations don't just assess current performance. They also consider a teacher's potential.Will policymakers start viewing evaluation differently? I suspect they will, if only they listened more carefully to the millions of teachers nationwide who want an evaluation system that will genuinely improve their practice and their students' learning.

My Profile
Ryan Farish
Composer and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Farish describes his music as "positive chillout," though his fusion of dance, electronica, and chill-out has earned him a following that spans the boundaries of genre. Originally from Norfolk, Virginia, Farish began taking music lessons and writing melodies when he was just four years of age. As a teenager, he studied music performance at Norfolk's Old Dominion University, and later studied music business at UCLA. In 2000, Farish began taking his music public by posting material on the website MP3.com; his music soon developed a loyal following, and in time he racked up 1.8 million downloads from the site. The same year, he also released his first album, In the Day, through a small independent label, and in 2004 he signed with EMI to release his breakthrough album Beautiful. Since then, Farish had produced a steady stream of albums and singles, establishing his own Rytone Entertainment label to give him full control over his marketing and distribution. Farish's career received a tremendous boost when the cable network The Weather Channel began using his music as part of their broadcasts; Farish's distinctive, soothing melodies became a staple of their Local on the 8's segment, his music was featured on the compilation album The Weather Channel Presents: The Best of Smooth Jazz, and Farish was commissioned to write the theme for the TWC's popular series Storm Stories. He has also licensed his music for use in a variety of television programs, motion pictures, commercials, and promotional films. In addition, he has worked with a number of other noted artists, including vocalist Donna Lewis and musician and producer Paul Hardcastle, and his collaboration with gospel vocal group Trin-I-Tee 5:7, "Listen," earned him a Dove Award in 2008 from the Gospel Music Association. And Farish's music is a frequent presence on YouTube; his song "Pacific Wind" accompanied a video created to pay homage to American soldiers fighting in Iraq which has received well over 30 millions views. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

1. At the beginning of the class, be sure to introduce yourself. Let the class know that you are responsible for opening the room, turning on the equipment, proctoring exams, collecting classwork, mailing it, and distributing materials from the professor. In addition, you may also be responsible for taping the classes if needed.
2. Remember to provide an orientation on the operation and control of the video equipment. This includes pointing out how to turn on the equipment as well as how to control the microphones, speakers, and cameras. Doing this will allow the students to understand what needs to be done if the remote sites ask them to "reboot" or "adjust their volume."
3. Orient the students on how to use the fax machine.
4. Inform the students what they should do with materials that need to be mailed to the instructor.
5. Emphasize that if a technical problem occurs and the connection is lost, that Murray needs to be contacted ASAP!
6. Remember to post a listing of phone numbers for MSU and the other sites. This will help the students if they need to fax materials to another location.
7. Also, please indicate a number and a location where you may be reached in the building in the event you are needed. This will help the students easily find you if needed.
8. Please indicate what the students should do in the event that the doors are locked, the equipment isn't turned on, etc. This should include some phone numbers where yourself and MSU personnel may be reached.
9. In the event of inclimate weather, the students should probably consult the TV listings or contact MSU directly. Typically if the hosting site closes their facility due to weather, MSU will cancel classes there as well. However, classes at MSU will continue as scheduled.

And we're back on fox lifestyle on foxnews.com.
I feel like a magic -- course switching studios in between breaks -- -- we -- to bring you up all kinds of fun stuff so we just talk about food.
Now we're gonna talk about what's hot at the box office and of course.
Being Friday you know -- that means that actually is here rotten tomatoes dot com always a pleasure I see it looks like you're in a different studio today to.
Here in Los Angeles -- I guess I'm having a hard time hearing and -- a little low we're gonna fix that volume so we can hear you.
Matt -- -- here today of course editor in chief -- tomatoes dot com we can find you on Twitter at.
-- and at rotten tomatoes and were talking about the movie's opening up this weekend.
Twilight breaking dawn part two how outside and this is the final final.
Yes yes to hear me OK now I can hear you better now thank you yes I would like OK final final so I and then and it can be S -- -- Yes our our long national nightmare is almost.
Lot twilight movie opens today.
Now this started out at a 100%.
On our site believe that are not the first initial reviews were all positive.
But then it dropped in the eighties and that it dropped from the seventies that dropped the sixties and now it's dropped below the dividing line about rob.
Well -- alert for a twilight movie.
Because -- more critics weighed in.
They said even though it's the best of the franchise it's still not very good now that being said.
That's not gonna matter to the fans the fans are gonna love this at the screening I was that.
There were a lot of fans there are a lot of fly hard and they went crazy over this movie.
So if you're looking forward to -- I think you're going to be really satisfied.
I didn't particularly care for it but I'm not -- play hard so you know this is a movie that is critic proof it's gonna make a ton of money and I think people -- really don't like it.
What do you think -- -- Kristen Stewart scandal had anything to do with the ratings going down or is it just basically simply on the movie's merits.
You know I think is mainly on the movie's merits I think that the initial screenings you know the initial reviews were hey you know this isn't so bad.
It's you know -- -- it's not as bad as the rest of but I'm not sure that's necessarily.
A recommendation from critics but again.
The audience that this movie is targeted that they don't care what the critics say so this movie's gonna make a ton of money -- you know the real question is is gonna make more.
Then these you know hundred something million that the Hunger Games made it probably is -- top -- hundred million this week.
Wow bella that's exciting for them -- their franchise of course and for anybody as you mentioned who is it -- -- this is very big weekend.
Selassie with a box office tells us that they into the weekend what not and -- Korea cannot explain what this movie and for those who haven't heard of that yet where rates on its -- -- -- So this is based on the Tolstoy.
Epic novel.
And it's you know cut the cut down a bit but it's directed by Joseph right.
And stars.
Keira Knightley and they've teamed up previously on atonement and pride and prejudice.
This movie is the story a Russian aristocrat woman and the title character and a -- who you know embarks on this affair.
And in the U late nineteenth century -- that's you know a big scandal -- her life starts to fall apart.
It's a very dramatic story it's a beautiful period piece the critics mostly like -- It's in the sixties on the tomato meter which means it's -- so if you're looking for something that's a little bit more highbrow -- probably more adult than the twilight.
Film -- you might be wanting to go see this.
And you know the last few weeks we've been talking to you which I enjoy so much.
Of these movies thrown into the mix with all the other good things that are out there right now of the James Bond movie.
Of course flight -- -- -- those stacking up on the list of you know where you're seeing more people going to see what movies.
You know those those are all done quite well the box office.
You know we can actually expanse of the wide release this weekend for most of the country so I think that's gonna do relatively well -- But you know those are all doing great you know -- -- obviously did huge box office when it opened.
Set a bunch of records before the biggest opening of a bond fell.
You know -- goes continues to do well I think all three of those movies and flight.

Starting this month we're going to support the many wonderful charities and non-profit organizations with a digital town hall streamed live from our websites. This month we're focusing on Lupus with a hour that will focus on the disease on Wednesday May 15th from 1-2 pm. It'll be streamed live on www.wdasfm.com, www.wdasam.com and www.power99.com keyword "community." Guest include Annette Myarick - Chief Executive Offices of Lupus Foundation of American Philadelphia – Tri State, Regina Spencer – Lupus Advocate and volunteer living with Lupus, Dr. Anapama Shahane, Assistant Professor, Division of Rheumatology University of Pennsylvania. Also joining the discussion are Bryant M. Green Always Best Care Senior Services – an organization that works with Lupus patients, Jonathan Marks – National Development Director Alliance for Lupus Research and Diomaris Gonzales – Assistant Director, Research Administration for Alliance for Lupus Research.
Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body (skin, joints and/or organs inside the body).
Lupus is also a disease of flares (the symptoms worsen and you feel ill) and remissions (the symptoms improve and you feel better). Lupus can be mild or serious but should always be treated by a doctor. It can truly impact the life of someone living with Lupus. Here are just some of the symptoms:
- extreme fatigue (tiredness)
- headaches
- painful or swollen joints
- fever
- anemia (caused by low numbers of red blood cells or hemoglobin, or low total blood volume)
- swelling (edema) in feet, legs, or around eyes
- Pain in the chest on deep breathing (pleurisy)
- Butterfly-shaped rash across the cheeks and nose
- Sun- or light-sensitivity (photosensitivity)
- Hair loss
- Blood-clotting problems
- Fingers turning white and/or blue in the cold (Raynaud's phenomenon)
- Ulcers in mouth or nose
Because the symptoms mimic many other conditions - it's often misdiagnosed but with good medical care, most people with lupus can lead a full life.
In the United States alone it is believed that at least 1.5 million people -- women, men, teens, and children -- have lupus. More than 16,000 new cases are reported across the country each year.
- Lupus strikes mostly women of childbearing age (15-44). However, men, children and teenagers develop lupus, too.
- Women of color are 2-3 times more likely to develop lupus.
- People of all races and ethnic groups can develop lupus.
Please join us for this important conversation.

Drillers Buy Silence on Health, Property Impacts of Fracking
August 14, 2013–One reason proof of harm is hard to find is that drillers pay people to keep quiet. Now the unsealing of a once-confidential settlement in Pennsylvania gives a clear view of how the silencing works. The 17-page, two-year-old settlement agreement includes a $750,000 payment to a family critical of fracking, saying they became sick, as well as a gag order that applies to their 7- and 10-year-old children for the rest of their lives.SEJ Protests Calif. Highway Patrol's Arrest of Photojournalist
August 14, 2013–SEJ formally objected to the CHP's July 23, 2013, arrest of Willits News' Steve Eberhard for covering an environmental protest of highway bypass construction, saying the arrest is "unacceptable" and "directly contravenes the right to gather news that derives from the First Amendment."July 31, 2013
EPA Staff Report Contradicts Agency's Agnosticism on Fracking
July 31, 2013–Here's more evidence of why documents should be leaked to reporters: a Powerpoint obtained by LA Times' Neela Banerjee shows EPA's Region 3 staff argued a year ago for continuing its investigation of fracking pollution around Dimock, PA — as EPA HQ announced it was ending its study of Dimock wells. Now there's an echo in Pavillion, WY.Halliburton Admits Destroying Gulf Spill Evidence
July 31, 2013–Journalists who worried about a cover-up during the April 2010 blowout of BP's Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico got some vindication this month when Halliburton admitted to destroying evidence. The company agreed to pay $200,000 in fines and donate $55 million to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.Police Arrest California Photog at Highway Protest
July 31, 2013–If the public can't see it, it didn't happen, right? That seems to be the logic of California officials who arrested a newspaper photographer for covering an environmental protest at the site where a highway overpass was being constructed and protesters had chained themselves to construction equipment.Transparency Remains an Issue As McCarthy Takes EPA Helm
July 31, 2013–House and Senate Republicans made a big deal over EPA "transparency" while McCarthy's nomination was being held up in the Senate, for 130 days. Then on July 9, 2013, the Senate Environment Committee's ranking minority member said he would drop his filibuster threat because EPA had agreed to some of his demands on transparency.July 17, 2013
Does Info on Pipeline Hazards Belong to Public They Endanger?
July 17, 2013–A doughty, Pulitzer-winning publication is insisting the public has a right to know when pipeline companies are profiting by endangering people's lives, health, and property.

It appears Mayor Lee Rothenberg doesn't have enough commissioners on his side to adopt the town's maximum millage rate of 1.6 mills later this month.
But Rothenberg will continue to make his point until the budget is adopted at the end of the month.
The mayor hopes that commissioners will raise the millage rate from 1.5 mills to 1.6 mills to ensure that the town's level of service does not decrease.
And, Rothenberg says only a minimal increase in taxes is needed to bolster reserves in the event money is needed for an emergency situation.
But even after Town Manager Bruce St. Denis admitted that the level of service would be "somewhat adversely affected" if the commission approves the recommended budget's millage rate of 1.4952 mills, several commissioners voiced their continued support for a lower millage rate at a Thursday, Aug. 27 special budget workshop.
Commissioners Gene Jaleski, Peter O'Connor, Robert Siekmann and Jim Brown were more interested in discussing how the budget, as proposed, would affect that level of service.
When St. Denis explained that another vacant police officer position will not be filled for the second year in a row, Brown seemed okay with that.
"Given the circumstances we are living in, we may be able to live with a little bit of a loss in service." Brown said.
And Jaleski continued to urge town staff to look for more ways to cut costs before recommending a higher millage rate.
"I'm not convinced that we cannot find places to save more money," said Jaleski, who urged St. Denis to cut consultant costs and to keep police and fire vehicles instead of replacing them.
Vice Mayor Robert Siekmann also urged the town to cut costs, recommending the town do away with a $100,000 red-tide contingency for beach cleanup.
Siekmann also warned the rest of the commission that the recommended budget, as proposed, will result in a deficit for a third, consecutive year because $400,000 in commission contingency funds and $100,000 for red-tide cleanup is being taken directly from the town's reserves, which is anticipated to be $4.7 million at the start of the new fiscal year next month.
"I suggest to you that we will have another deficit next year of about 500,000 unless we figure out a way to cut costs, raise revenues or spend reserves," said Siekmann, who also worried that the building department would be unable to make its annual payment of $287,000 for a second, consecutive year.
St. Denis told the commission that adopting a 1.6 millage rate would generate an additional $500,000 that could be used next year to address another anticipated fiscal year of property-value declines and an additional $1 million in pension costs.
If the millage is not raised this year, St. Denis anticipates the town will have to raise the millage rate to 1.75 mills in fiscal year 2010-11.
But commissioners were more interested in talking about the minimum level of reserves the town should keep.
Even Key resident and former mayor Ron Johnson joined the discussion.
"Four million is more than adequate for reserves," said Johnson, who suggested the town could borrow money if a serious storm were to hit the island. "Let's hold the line."
While Siekmann and O'Connor expressed a desire to set a minimum cap for a reserve, the decision could not be made at a special meeting.
And O'Connor referenced the recommended balanced budget that St. Denis presented last month.
"I think we should go with the manager's recommendation," O'Connor said.
Rothenberg was disappointed with the discussion.
"We are hanging on by a hair," Rothenberg said. "We can handle this year, but next year could very well be a disaster without some long-term planning."
The Town Commission gave no further direction on the budget as proposed and will vote on a millage rate and the budget itself on first reading and public hearing at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 14. The budget will be adopted on second reading at 5:01 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 29.

Valencia is a great symbol of the thoroughness and diversity of Muslim legacy, affecting literally every form and manner of civilization. The rest of Europe was influenced by many contributions found there. We find engineering demonstrated in dam construction and irrigation; there is a rich scientific legacy, particularly in medicine, and there were vital new industries. For example in the city outskirts were the depository of the main and first paper factory, at Xativa. Besides these aspects Valencia was also the center of a thriving ceramics industry[1] .
The city of Valencia was preeminent, with Jativa (Xativa) the lesser rival, south of the Jucar River, the insular Alcira always important in the center, and the crusader-founded Castellon eventually the heart of the north. This eastern region of Islamic Spain, called Sharq al-Andalus in Arabic, briefly conquered by the Christian warrior El-Cid in 1094 and recovered by the Almoravids in 1102, was a semi-autonomous province of the disintegrating Almohad Empire when James the Conqueror (1218-1276) took it by a crusade from 1232 to 1245.[2] There after, it was lost to the Muslims, after a presence of over seven centuries.
This Muslim legacy can be seen at the time of the re-conquest by James the Conqueror. The whole region bristled with fifty major castles or walled towns, arranged for protection in depth. A series of intensely irrigated plains (huertas) dotted its coastal sectors and bustling port cities linked it in trade with North Africa, the Balearics, and southern France.[3]
The city also boasted many scholars. Here we will look in particular at Ibn Jubayr and Arnau of Villanova
Ibn Jubair
Born in Valencia, Ibn Jubair (Ibn Jubayr) (12th century) began his long travels in 1183, offering good accounts of the life of Muslims and their surroundings in both East and West at a crucial period of Islamic history, when Islamic power was on the retreat, attacked in both Spain and Sicily, and further East by the Crusaders.[4] Extracts from the English version of his travels include reasons for his travels.[5] A secretary for the ruler of Granada in 1182, he was forced by that said ruler to drink seven cups of wine. To expiate his godless act, Ibn Jubayr decided to perform the duty of Hajj to Mecca. He left Granada in 1183 on an itinerary with all the stops well marked by two maps, one for the East, the other for the West. One of the places he reaches, Alexandria in Egypt, impresses him greatly, especially its famed giant lighthouse: `One of the greatest wonders… which Great and Glorious God had erected by the hands of those who were forced to such labour as `a sign to those who take warning from examining the fate of others' [Qur'an 15:75] and as a guide to voyagers, for without it they could not find the true course to Alexandria.' Another glory of the city, Ibn Jubayr notes, are the colleges and hostels erected for students by the Sultan (Salah Eddin al-Ayyubi), where students find lodging and tutors to teach them the sciences they desire; and the benefit of baths, hospitals, and the appointment of doctors. Ibn Jubayr ends his travels in Sicily, recounting the life of Muslims under Norman rule. The Muslims then were on the point of being eliminated, and Ibn Jubayr was deeply moved by some parent who offered him his little daughter to take back to a Muslim family to raise her in Spain.[6] Whilst traveling in the Near East in the years 1183-5, Ibn Jubayr noted one or more hospitals in every city in the majority of the places he passed through, which prompted him to say: that hospitals were one of `the finest proofs of the glory of Islam,' (and the madrassas another).[7]
Arnau of Villanova
Born during the Valencian crusade, Arnau of Villanova (ca. 1240- 1311) took up residence at Valencia some time after the conquest; his daughter later became a nun there. He mastered Arabic, and in his enthusiasm for Islamic medicine translated a series of its important medical works into Latin, including Al-Kindi's Risala fi maarifat quwa'l adwiya al-murakkaba (De medicinarum compositarum gradibus); Qusta ibn Luqa: de Physics ligatures; Ibn Sina's De viribus cordi; Abu-l-Ala Zuhr's De Conservatione corporis et regimine sanitatis; Abu Salt's Kitab al-adwiya al-mufrada.[8]
Professor at Montpellier, he was physician-regular to three kings of Aragon and three popes, thus highlighting the scope of his impact in spreading such Islamic learning.
The discoveries and innovations that came from the city of Valencia cannot all be listed. Thus, here we have only a brief outline of some of its greatest achievements. Like most Islamic cities, Valencia was a great center for makers of astronomical instruments of all sorts, one illustration of this is, father Ibrahim ibn Said al-Wazzon and his son Mohammed in 1081, who completed a metal celestial globe that was 209 mm in diameter.[9] It represented the celestial sphere as given by Ptolemy, but with increases to the longitudes of all the stars by 140 10'; the names of the constellations are also in Arabic Kufic characters.[10]
Capital of Paper Manufacturing
Valencia remained the capital of paper making, at Xativa. The adoption of cotton as a material for the fabrication of this article of commerce is said to be due to the practical genius of the artisans of Xativa.[11] It came as a result of Muslim experimentation with this material which was more available than materials used initially by the Chinese from whom paper making was initially taken. The paper manufacturing was described by the Muslim geographer al-Idrisi.[12] Shatiba (Xativa), presently called "San Felipe" in Valencia, produced in the 12th century, finer paper than anywhere else, and exported it both to the East and West. [13] At a time when the scribes of Christian Europe were reduced to the necessity of erasing the works of classic authors to obtain parchment for the preservation of pious homilies and monkish legends, the mills of Xativa were producing great quantities of paper, much of which, in texture and finish will compare not un-favourably with that obtained by the most improved processes of modern manufacturing.[14] The demand for this product, indispensable among a people of intellectual tastes like the Hispano Muslims, was enormous.[15] From Xatiba the industry spread to the rest of Europe, and eventually impacted on printing.
Crown mechanizing of the celebrated Islamic paper industry at Jativa (perhaps ca. 1270) was significant in spreading the use of paper in Christendom; and when printing came, the city of Valencia became Spain's publication center (the first Bible in a Romance language appeared here in 1478).[16]
Irrigation Systems
Valencia is the living proof of the ingenuity of the Muslim irrigation system, which has been well described by Glick. The distribution of water among the eight canals of the Valencian huerta is a particularly useful example because the underlying principles of the distribution arrangements are well documented and quite easily associated with a specific Islamic model. The river, now called by its Roman name the Turia, but in Islamic times known as the Wâd al-Abyad (Guadalaviar, "White River"), was considered to be divided into successive stages, each stage representing the point of derivation of one main canal which drew all the water at that stage, or of two canals, dividing the water among them.
At each stage the river was considered to hold twenty-four units of water. This twelve base system, several other examples of which are noted below, is standard in many areas of the Islamic world and is clearly related to the hours of the day. A system, so structured, would envision a river divided into 168 units (representing the hours of seven days and nights, or 144 if a day of rest was customary). The units were not, however, expressed in hours, but as simple proportions of a whole. Thus, in times of abundance, each canal drew water from the river according to the capacity of the canal; in times of drought, the canals would take water in turn, for a commensurate number of hours or a proportional equivalent. The same was true of individual irrigators (and herein lies the genius of the Valencia system): when the canal ran full, each irrigator could open his gate as he pleased, but when water was scarce, a turn was instituted; each irrigator, in turn, drew enough water to serve his needs (this style of irrigation was by submersion of the field, typically to a standard depth of an ankle). But he could not draw water again until every other irrigator in the system had his turn. Thus a relatively equal distribution was ensured, both in times of abundance and of scarcity, and no measurements of time or orifice of delivery were needed.[17]
Europe's First Psychiatric Hospital
The rest of the Valencian Muslim legacy is indicated by there being in the city Europe's first psychiatric hospital, the Casa dels Folls (also known as Hospital d'lgnoscents, 1409). [18] It must be here noted that although Smith holds that the lunatic asylum of Cairo was founded in 1304, a century before anything similar appeared in Europe, and that the rest of Europe copied Spain [19] , centuries before that time, the first hospital established in Cairo by the Turkish governor, Ibn Tulun, in 872, [20] already included a ward for the insane, and there are delightful anecdotes about the place and the kindness of the governor (Ibn Tulun).[21]
Centre for Numerous Crafts
The Christians also continued the Muslims' traditional leather and ceramics crafts; Manises and Paterna plates won international fame. Textiles and shipbuilding were among the crafts that multiplied the capital's guilds to over 100. [22] The role of Muslim craftsmen in carrying Islamic techniques and skills has been abundant in every trade, and with regard to the skills of ceramics, following relations being established between Manises and Avignon (during the years 1362-64), we hear in 1382-85 of a certain Jehan de Valence who was employed in the service of the Duc de Berry and who produced painted faience tiles in Poitiers and in Bourges. [23]
Poetry competitions brought together rival professionals: in 1474, forty from every class contended and printed the results. This was a brilliant culmination to a long tradition in Valencian (Catalan) literature, beginning almost with the conquest.[24] And these remind perfectly of what was current in Arabia even before Islam in the competitions which took place between poets.
Institutional Legacy
The legacy of Muslims of Valencia includes a diversity of other symbols of civilization, for instance, in the institutions, where the Arabic names can still be found. Hence, each of the towns in the Valencia province had its elected executive board (jurats), a legislative council and a magistrate who acted as market and community inspector or consumer advocate (mostassaf). In maritime law, the autonomous court and code of the Consolat de mar flourished from 1283.[25]
Valencia, can therefore be seen not only as having been instrumental in the transfer of knowledge in science and engineering to Europe but also in introducing industries, customs of developed culture, systems of elected government administration and dimensions of law. Much work needs to be done to investigate these latter aspects further as there was undoubtedly a considerable influence of Islamic civilization on Europe and the world in legal matters also.

The period from the 9th century to the 13th century witnessed a fundamental transformation in agriculture that can be characterized as the Islamic green revolution in pre-modern times. The economy established in the Arab and Islamic world enabled the diffusion of many crops and farming techniques as well as the adaptation of crops and techniques from and to regions beyond the Islamic world. These introductions, along with an increased mechanization of agriculture, led to major changes in economy, population distribution, vegetation cover, agricultural production and income, population levels, urban growth, the distribution of the labour force, linked industries, cooking, diet and clothing in the Islamic world. This article presents a survey on those issues and others, such as agricultural machinery water Management and farming manuals. Dam Construction in the Islamic Civil Engineering by: FSTC Research TeamFSTC Research Team
Dams are required in most hydraulic systems, for irrigation, regulating flow of rivers and in modern times for the production of energy. In the classical Islamic world, dam construction received a special attention as an integral part of large civil engineering works. Since the Umayyad Caliphate, dams were built in different Islamic regions. This article is a survey presenting the tradition of dam construction by Muslims, characterized by a rich variety of structures and forms. Water Management and Hydraulic Technology by: FSTC LimitedWater management in all its intricacies, from Andalusia to Afghanistan, was the basis of agriculture, and source of all life. Muslims did much to develop hydraulic technology and deploy water management equipment including hydro-power dams. The Travels of Ibn Jubair by: FSTC LimitedBorn in Valencia, Ibn Jubair (Ibn Jubayr) travelled widely, offering good accounts of the life of Muslims and their surroundings in both Eastern and Western parts. Water management in Valencia by: Quoted from T. GlickThe distribution of water among the eight canals of the Valencian huerta is a particularly useful example of water management.

As 14-year-old Lisa Jura said goodbye to her mother at a Vienna train station in 1938, Jura's mother spoke words that would inspire her for a lifetime: "Hold on to your music. It will be your best friend."
Jura didn't imagine that these words — and how her life came to embody them — would inspire subsequent generations of teenagers, even 70 years later.

I'm not much of a drinker and have a family history of alcoholics on my mothers side. I feel people have the liberty to choose whether they drink alcohol or not. I lay this out on the table because I am not much of a drinker and oppose this proposed bill.
I do not feel House Bill 4821 will do any justice to our already suffering businesses and economy. Businesses should be allowed to set prices as they see fit. The market will self correct if prices are too high or too low. This is how the free market works.
I would rather see a bill introduced that takes the State of Michigan out of the alcohol wholesale business. By impossing minimum prices and specific commissions, the original and proposed bills are methods of increasing revenue with using the word "tax."
Merriam Webster defines uniform as 'not varying or variable'. Not varying or variable is FIXED. This will not allow retailers to sell alcohol higher than the FIXED price set forth by the commission. I urge everyone to read the modified bill and replace the word UNIFORM with the word FIXED to better understand the meaning.
Businesses need to make a profit to survive, otherwise they close their doors and people lose their jobs.

OP, just take a look at the map of the Hoboken rail yard. Google or whatever "Observer highway Hoboken NJ" and look at where it sits and tell me if a report is necessary to inform one of the risk of flooding?No one will ever get fired for this. I can almost guarantee you it was a Union work rule/lack of manpower issue that caused this and those are the kinda mistakes that always get buried......
These NJ Transit boobs were as dumb as the crooked mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagan was when he left 700 school busses to be flooded by Katrina. Idiots,,,,,,,
The good news is that they only had to pay about $50k to learn that water seeks its own level. For that fee, I would provide them my expose´ about water flowing downhill - but wait! for just 10% more(plus shipping and handling) I´ll throw in my report about how the vast majority of people don´t thoroughly chew their corn.
Seems like there were a lot of busses left behind in New Orleans before that hurricane...Makes one wonder what those people use for brains....
I was not aware that the storage yard is right on the bank of the Hudson River, a stones throw from NY Harbor. What idiots
This report was issued by leftist idiots trying to validate the presence of global warming.That´s why nobody paid any attention to it. This is just a coincidence that the left can flap their jaws over and say see,I told you so.
Isn´t it wonderful that the ´right´ people can get almost 50 GRAND to write a report of inspection with warnings of what MIGHT happen and NOBODY does anything at all with it and then...wham! Lo and behold, the stuff hits the fan and every body will point to somebody else for the very stuff they were told was very possible...nice gig if you can get it.

Keyword: Intensity Techniques
Are you looking to take your training to the next level? Want to squeeze every last bit of muscle stimulation and growth out of your workouts? Do you have a serious pain tolerance and a desire to get bigger? If so, read on to learn a few intensity techniques that will take your gains to a whole new level!
The Problem with Strength Gains
Overall, gaining strength is the best plan for long-term muscle gains. This is because strength gains are a surefire form of PROGRESSION, the thing that really 'matters' to your muscles. You can progress by adding sets and reps, as well, but that can only last so long! You can always keep adding weight to the bar…
However, your body needs a break from constantly heavier weights. You might have a couple of months where you add five pounds to the bar every time you squat or bench, but if that lasted for a year, you'd make some (literally) impossible strength gains! In order to consistently get stronger AND bigger, you should try alternating your focus between strength and hypertrophy (muscle grow...

text: In their sophomore season, the guitar-playing Kiwis continue their quest to make it big in the Big Apple. Among the highlights: With Murray (Rhys Darby) preoccupied by another band, Bret (Bret McKenzie) and Jemaine (Jemaine Clement) take advantage of his absence and pen a commercial jingle; in the episode A New Cup, an impulse purchase sets off a tempest in a teacup that inspires the Roxanne spoof "You Don't Have to Be a Prostitute"; Dave (Arj Barker) and other unlikely gangbangers watch Bret's back after he disparages A-list rappers (watch for the 'Chords to bust some rhymes about "Hurt Feelings"); and the band, unable to pay the rent, moves in with Mel (Kristen Schaal) and Doug (David Costabile). Season 2 guest stars include Lucy Lawless, Art Garfunkel, Greg Proops, Jim Gaffigan, Kristen Wiig, and Patton Oswalt. ~ Kathy LeSage, Rovi

A Brief Interview with Jim Getty on Chautauqua
Wednesday, June 8th, 2011As a newcomer to the MHC staff, I wanted to learn a little more about Chautauqua. While my background is in the world of theater, Chautauqua was new to me. I had an opportunity to briefly interview Jim Getty, who will portray Abraham Lincoln at Chautauqua this summer, from July 5 – 13 at six locations around the state of Maryland and I thought that others might enjoy his responses.
Do you have a question for Jim or any of our other Chautauqua performers? Place them in the comment section and I'll do our best to track down the answers. Or share what you experienced at past Chautauqua performances. Any favorites? What pivotal figures have you always wanted to see portrayed onstage? We'd love your feedback. I hope to see you there! – Michele Baylin, Communications Manager
(MHC) How long have you been performing with Chautauqua (here or elsewhere)? How did you first get involved with MHC and/or Chautauqua?
(Jim) I was contacted by Judy (Dobbs, Program Officer) to first present about four years ago. I have been contacted by other states but have been unable to work them within my schedule.
(MHC) How would you describe your Chautauqua experience as a performer? What is it like to portray a historical figure?
(Jim) I have wonderful memories of my six presentations in Maryland. Each organization in the respective venues has covered every detail and they have been so very accommodating. There is the foremost responsibility in the performance of an historical character to be accurate.
(MHC) What other characters do you portray? Is there a historical character to play whom you've always wanted to portray? Are there other places you perform these characters that we should know about?
(Jim) While I have been encouraged to present Captain Ahab or a New England Sea Captain, I have not. I have gone into such research but have found myself so busy as Abraham Lincoln that I couldn't manage the inclusion. As Lincoln, I do quite a variety of presentations, including Leadership Programs for Departments within the Federal Government and the business community.
(MHC) What do you do to prepare for a living history performance? Does portraying a historical figure offer unique challenges? How does this differ from performances that aren't of historical figures?
(Jim) Prep for presentations includes gathering information about the locale; significant personalities from the general area in that period who Mr. Lincoln might have known or have been in contact with; often political or military figures. Really, to learn everything you can about the significance of the location. One tries to prepare for the q/a session that follows each presentation.
(MHC) There is a Q&A which follows your performance. What's the most interesting question (or oddest) you've been asked before? How do you feel about this component? Is there a question you've always expected but never been asked?
(Jim) I believe we have run a circle with the variety of questions asked of the President from folks of all ages. The most difficult thing for the presenter is to be able to offer the variation to a question asked by someone who has you in the wrong time-frame.
View Jim Getty's bio and more information about Abraham Lincoln on the MHC website.

As we approach the end of 2012, we wanted to take a moment to thank you for your past support of Massaro Community Farm. Your support makes it possible for us to satisfy our mission of feeding people. You can read our full 2012 Food Donation Report here, but below are a few of our numbers:
The number of servings of vegetables we provided to individuals through local hunger relief organizations in 2012.
The pounds of local, organic vegetables we donated to our community this year.
What it costs to provide vegetables to a family of four during a normal growing season.
While we deeply appreciate your monetary donations, there are other ways in which you can support our commitment to 'Keep Farming; Feed People; Build Community.'
Many of our program offerings are made available through the service of committee and board members. These folks bring a host of skills and backgrounds to our farm - graphic design, finance, legal, environmental education, community engagement – just to name a few. We are always looking for those with skills they think can help maintain the farm operation.
Our regularly occurring events on the farm are made possible through the many efforts of volunteers of all ages who show up to lend a hand. Consider becoming a Friend of the Farm. Volunteering a few hours each year is critical to bringing events to you, such as Celebrate Spring, Dinner on the Farm and Family Fun Day and help us build community, in Woodbridge and beyond.
Tell a Friend!
Simply tell your family, friends and neighbors about all the great things going on at Massaro Community Farm.
If you are interested in serving or volunteering for Massaro Community Farm, please contact either Cathy Shufro at email@example.com or Caty Poole at email@example.com. We look forward to your continued support and to bringing you more educational programming in 2013.

West Ham deny Carroll deal
Liverpool striker has not agreed move away from Anfield
Last Updated: July 31, 2012 11:34am
Andy Carroll: Hammers have denied a deal has been done to take striker to Upton Park
West Ham have denied a deal has been done to sign Liverpool forward Andy Carroll.
Hammers boss Sam Allardyce is believed to be keen to add the England target-man to his squad for the club's Premier League and was reported to have offered £2million to take the player on loan.
That deal was also thought to include a £17m fee to make the switch permanent next summer as the Reds are reluctant to allow the man they paid £35m for last year to leave in a loan-only deal.
But with Brendan Rodgers having offered Carroll hope of a future at Anfield, West Ham have moved to distance themselves from claims that a deal is in place.
And Sky Sports sources understand Carroll would not consider a permanent move to the Hammers.
The 23-year-old striker has scored six goals in 42 Premier League games for Liverpool since joining from Newcastle in January 2011.
