Like you, my heart is heavy with sorrow due to the horror that took place at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut on Dec. 14, and my prayers, like yours, are with the parents, students and educators affected by this horrible tragedy and with their entire community that has been shattered by it. Twenty small children have lost their lives, and many more have lost their innocence; six of our colleagues were killed as they heroically defended their co-workers and students from the onslaught. The pain and grief caused by this senseless violence reverberate here in New York and across the country.
Only time will heal the wounds suffered at Sandy Hook, but we have reached out to our colleagues in the Newtown Federation of Teachers to offer our support. Both UFT Staff Director Ellie Engler, an expert in safety and health issues, and Lila Ezra, the executive director of the UFT Member Assistance Program, met with the local union's executive board two days after the tragedy to offer our union's immediate assistance with counseling and to make available to them an expert school safety team to inspect school buildings in their community. We have also offered to help them establish a counseling program similar to our own Victim Support Program.
Now is a time for us to look after one another so that we can in turn be steady and strong for our students. We must all be vigilant in the coming weeks to see that both our colleagues and the children in our care are coping. It is not unusual for students and school staff to be anxious about their own safety in the wake of such a tragedy. If you see signs of stress, fear or anxiety in your students, be sure to alert the mental health professionals in your school who can assist them. And if you or any of your colleagues need assistance, know that you are not alone. As always, the licensed counselors at the UFT Member Assistance Program stand ready to help.
As we mourn the recent tragedy in Newtown, we must nevertheless move ahead with our work here in New York.
Mayor Bloomberg is playing politics with our schools and the future of our students — and he must stop. With $250 million in state aid for schools hanging in the balance, it is disgraceful that he is playing these games. For the sake of our students, New York City must have a teacher evaluation agreement in place by Gov. Cuomo's deadline on Jan. 17 — but it is increasingly clear that Mayor Bloomberg does not want to reach an agreement with us and is in fact sabotaging our negotiations.
It doesn't matter to him that his actions are hurting our kids. Reaching an agreement on a fair teacher evaluation system is not in the interest of the mayor and his cherished "legacy," which he values above all else. He would rather fight us to the end in the name of "education reform" than construct a fair evaluation agreement for the sake of our kids.
For two years, the UFT has been trying to get to a new teacher evaluation system. Unfortunately, the mayor believes that the purpose of a teacher evaluation system is to punish teachers and hold our "feet to the fire" by publishing our individual evaluations in the newspapers.
That's why the mayor hates the statewide evaluation law we passed in Albany two years ago. We understood then — and continue to believe today — that our current evaluation system does not support teachers and offers little in the way of due-process protections because too much is left to principals' discretion. So when we passed the law, we had two main goals: To see that teacher evaluations would be part of a constructive dialogue between teachers and administrators and to guarantee that they would be implemented fairly, with an appeals process that would stop principals from taking punitive measures against educators without just cause.
Not surprisingly, the mayor was nowhere to be seen when we hammered out this agreement with then-Gov. Paterson. Instead of helping, he complained that standardized test scores would count for only 20 percent of a teacher's evaluation and objected to the inclusion of a teaching rubric to guide principals' observations. He went missing last year, too, when we were on the verge of agreeing on an evaluation system for struggling schools and went to Albany to settle the question of an appeals process. He didn't want our members to have any meaningful appeals process at all.
Now, with just a year left in office, Bloomberg has nothing to lose, and a lot to gain, if we do not reach agreement on an evaluation system for New York City teachers. He knows that we will be blamed if there is no evaluation deal and the city loses money. His strategy is to use that blame to attack us and undermine our political strength and our ability to influence the mayoral elections — since his legacy and the continuation of his education policies all depend on the next mayor. He won't be able to do it. Our strength is in our members; we have grass-roots power that his political attacks can't touch.
But he is still doing his best to undermine the negotiations — and we need to make sure our communities know it.
Bloomberg and Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott have imposed a bogus deadline of Dec. 21 — almost a full month before the actual deadline set by the governor — to complete negotiations. They are counting down the clock, throwing up false obstacles to prevent us from reaching an agreement. The mayor himself acknowledged in his weekly radio address on Dec. 7 that "there's no magical date" before Jan. 17 by which the talks must wrap up.
Rather than establishing sham deadlines and pressuring us to agree to a punitive evaluation system by threatening parents with higher class sizes and the loss of teachers and services if there is no agreement in place by the deadline, the mayor and the chancellor should be focusing on reaching an agreement that will actually help make our schools better.
It is ironic that the mayor mentions class size since he and the DOE have repeatedly claimed that class size doesn't matter. He raises it as an issue when it advances his anti-union political agenda — but not when it would help improve the quality of our kids' education.
Bloomberg has even stooped so low as to say that he may have to cut money from the fire and police departments and from social services if we can't strike an agreement. If that's the case, then why isn't he doing absolutely everything in his power to make sure we have a teacher evaluation system in place by January?
The mayor is trying to pit one union against another and the parents against the teachers.
The evaluation system we negotiate now will be in place long after Mayor Bloomberg's administration is just a bad memory. So let me be clear: No deal is better than a bad deal. Deadline or no, we will never agree to a "gotcha" evaluation system, or to anything that we don't believe is good for teachers, students and schools.
The mayor knows that. That's why he has proposed a poison pill of an evaluation system that we could never accept. He is itching for a fight with us. It is not impossible to settle on an evaluation system; 633 of New York State's almost 700 school districts have done just that. We could be one of them if the mayor had the political courage to negotiate honestly and in good faith with us — for the sake of our students and of our city.
But he would rather fight for his bogus legacy, which exists only in his own mind.

As I continue to look back at five years of blogging, I'm still amazed at what happened on October 7, 2008.
But before we get to October, the story starts back in late August 2008 when I was guest blogging over at Overlawyered.com — one of the oldest law blogs around. I posted a story about a lawsuit filed by some wrestlers who claimed that they were treated as independent contractors, rather than employees.
The story was popular at the time.
But it paled in comparison to my post back here in October. You see, the employer filed a motion to dismiss in federal court.
Attached to that motion? A copy of the actual booking contracts for several wrestlers which most people had never seen. I downloaded those contracts and ended up posting a link to them on my site.
No big deal, I thought. Until three days later, the post was picked up by various wrestling fan sites. And went viral. In a hurry. By day's end, the blog had received over 20,000 visits.
While other posts have been popular from time to time, nothing has quite achieved that notoriety.
Last year, I did experience the force of the internet again with a video I posted about Tropical Storm Irene on YouTube. Although it didn't make it to the blog and wasn't quite as popular as the "Call Me Maybe" song (244 MILLION views??), that video alone has garnered nearly 100,000 views.
So, the next time someone asks how to attract viewers to their site, here's my advice: Have a video of wrestlers. Preferably lip-syncing to "Call Me Maybe". In a storm.

Beach Boys Tickets
The Beach Boys are one of the most eminent surf bands ever seen in the history of American music. They were the creators of Californian rock and their innovation in music has taken them leap and bounds in popularity. Their lush songs made them one of the top selling national acts. They were the only ones in the pop industry who could endure the Beatles mania. Rolling Stone hails their songs as the "Teenage Symphonies to God". The current band members Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, and Brian Wilson have been successful in keeping the succulent singing of the band alive even after four decades in music.

The Beach Boys, in their earlier years, were popular for their narrow range arrangements and Southern Californian lyrics. They produced catchy and smooth harmonies with a perfect mix of guitars and vocals. The idea of romance, cars and surfing prevailed in the Southern Californian youth culture at that time and their lyrics showcased that perfectly. The songs fanaticized this West Coast teen's idea of pretty girls, long drives and beach surfing. This combination of closed harmonies and lyrics has given The Beach Boys a unique sound. Their signature sound has given them an individuality hardly achieved by any other pop band around. They have also been inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame.
The initial band lineup consisted of Wilson brothers trio; Brian, Carl and Dennis along with their cousin brother Mike Love and their close friend Al Jardine. Their inventiveness in music has made them "America's Band". Allmusic has declared that they are the nation's first best rock band. They are one of the top artists to be in the Greatest Artists of All Times list by the Rolling Stones. They are also the best selling American band of all times. In the younger days Wilsons have seen their father Murray Wilson play music and this was their primary inspiration to pursue music as a career. Murray himself was a struggling artist with limited success in his career. In the beginning Murray was involved in the decisions of the band but later conflicts arose and they parted ways.
The Beach Boys musical accord has evolved over the years but the core of the band still remain the same. The Beach boys have come up with twenty nine studio albums. Beach boys have also released numerous successful singles in their career. Their most popular singles include Surfer Girl, Little Deuce Coupe, Pet Sounds and Kokomo. The Beach Boys' Live albums and EPs have also been quite popular such as Beach Boys Concert, Live in London, The Beach Boys in Concert , Good Timin': Live at Knebworth England and Four by The Beach Boys.
The Beach Boys have been the pioneers of southern Californian rock music. They have truly been the legends of surf pop. The fun loving summery exuberance of their songs is utterly refreshing. The band has moved on from where it stated with a lot of new additions to the band line up but the core of the band remains breezy and refreshing like always. The live performances of Beach boys are a one big party with funky music and excitement. The band has been performing live at various music fairs and concerts. To be at their performance get you Beach boys tickets now!

Course Description
This course explores the properties of non-linear, multi-linear, and interactive forms of narratives as they have evolved from print to digital media. Works covered in this course range from the Talmud, classics of non-linear novels, experimental literature, early sound and film experiments to recent multi-linear and interactive films and games. The study of the structural properties of narratives that experiment with digression, multiple points of view, disruptions of time, space, and of storyline is complemented by theoretical texts about authorship/readership, plot/story, properties of digital media and hypertext. Questions that will be addressed in this course include: How can we define 'non-linearity/multi-linearity', 'interactivity', 'narrative'. To what extend are these aspects determined by the text, the reader, the digital format? What kinds of narratives are especially suited for a nonlinear/ interactive format? Are there stories that can only be told in a digital format? What can we learn from early non-digital examples of non-linear and interactive story telling?

Reports circulated out of Japan and Germany late last week indicating Deutsche Telekom AG, owner of T-Mobile US Inc., reached a tentative agreement to sell T-Mobile to Softbank, owner of Sprint Corp. The potential merger of the third and fourth largest wireless carriers has sent rumors of regulatory challenges flying. Other news agencies, like Reuters, have said that crucial details including "price and financing remain to be worked out." None of the companies, however, have commented on the possible buyout.
Both Deutsche Telekom and Softbank have been frank about their desire to ink a deal. Likewise, leading regulators at the Department of Justice (DOJ) have raised public concerns about the anticompetitive effects of the potential deal. Earlier this year, William Baer, the assistant attorney general for the antitrust division at the DOJ, voiced his opinion that "consumers have benefitted from much more favorable competitive conditions" by having four major players in the wireless carrier industry. As a result, he has expressed hesitation about the DOJ antitrust division's ability to clear the long-rumored deal, which would create a narrower sector.
Sprint's chairman, Masayoshi Son, has countered with a public campaign touting the benefits of the tie-up, including creating a more equal competitor to level the playing field with rival behemoths Verizon and AT&T. Son has also encouraged regulators to more broadly consider access to internet, rather than the wireless industry alone. Along those lines, he has made several proposals regarding mobile broadband and promised that with "a three heavy-weight fight" he would engage in "a more massive price war, a technology war."
Still, industry commentators doubt the ability of the deal to clear regulatory hurdles. Some have pointed to a lack of evidence from Son and Softbank showing that more effective price competition could flourish in a competitive environment with only three major players. Such data is likely crucial to the fate of the tie-up, as a lack of similar data helped bring down AT&T's prior proposed deal to purchase T-Mobile. Additionally, the deal would require the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC's) approval alongside that of the DOJ. Many cite FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler's cable and wireless industry experience as indicating opposition to the deal.
Reports stated that Deutsche Telekom, which owns a 67 percent stake in T-Mobile, may be interested in keeping a small portion of its ownership interest—perhaps as much as 15 percent—in T-Mobile. If Softbank moves forward, it may face challenges in a bid for T-Mobile, including cable giant Comcast.

Homosexuality in the Philippines
In the Philippines, the term gay has been used loosely to include Homosexuality|homosexuals, Bisexuality|bisexuals, Transsexuality|transsexuals, transvestism|crossdressers, and effeminate|effeminate men. Filipino gays are mostly stereotyped as effeminate, crossdressers, hairdressers, camp. Bakla or Bading, a Filipino word for gay, is commonly used; tomboy has a similar function, and refers to lesbians, usually of the butch and masculine type. For Filipino gays, the Tagalog phrase "paglaladlad ng kapa" (literally means "unfurling the cape") refers to the Coming out|coming-out process. Although gays and lesbians are generally tolerated within Philippine society, there are still widespread cases of discrimination.
The Filipino gays find the backward economy a cramp to their style. Many of them are unable to leave home and even among those who can, many usually feel they have to support their extended families. In turn, parents who beat up their gay kids later on grudgingly tolerate the grown-up breadwinner who can pay the bills. It's a paradox with two realities, making it hard for observers to really pinpoint if Filipino society really accepts or still rejects having gays in the family. [1]
Bakla(gays) in the Philippines fall into two categories:
1. Effeminate gays or Effems- These include effeminate men, crossdressers and transsexuals, who may use make-up and dress in women's clothes. They tend to be concentrated in certain professions such as working in beauty parlors (thus the term parlorista) and in the fashion and showbiz industry as directors, writers, comedians and talk show hosts. Some work as entertainers, and a growing number work in Japan as female impersonators. Many of these gays tend to prefer heterosexual men as sexual partners. The motivation for some of these heterosexual men having relations with these gays is usually financial. Effeminate gays are referred to colloquially as "pa-girl", "malambot", or "Boyet", which is a commonly used nickname for effeminate gays, while heterosexual men who are in relationship with gays are often referred to as "papa/fafa".
2. Straight-acting gays or Discreet - This population is found more in urban areas. These men are not effeminate and will not use make-up or cross-dress. They are found outside of the stereotyped gay professions. Sexual preferences vary with some willing to have sex with other Straight-acting gays while others will prefer straight men. Many also self-identify as bisexual, even if they only have sex with men, bisexual having been redefined locally to mean straight-acting. Straight-acting gays are called "paminta" in Manila and "maya" in Visayas and Mindanao.

Gay Lingo
Swardspeak is a vernacular language derived from Englog and is used by gay Filipinos. It uses elements from Tagalog, English, and Spanish, giving them new meanings in the context of this unique language. A unique trait of swardspeak is that it immediately identifies the speaker as homosexual, making it easy for people of that orientation to signal to each other in a place where such tendencies are not easy to display (ie in the Philippines). This creates an exclusive world among its speakers and helps them to resist cultural assimilation.
By using swardspeak, Filipino gay men are able to resist the dominant culture of their area and create a space of their own. The language is constantly changing, with old phrases becoming obsolete and new phrases frequently entering everyday usage, reflecting changes in their culture and also maintaining exclusivity. The dynamic nature of the language refuses to cement itself in single culture and allows for more freedom in expression among its speakers. Words and phrases can be created out of reaction to popular trends and create alternatives to a strictly defined lifestyle. By these characteristics, swardspeak creates a dissident group without any ties to geographical, linguistic, or cultural restrictions, allowing its speakers to shape the language as appropriate to the times. In this way, the language is "mobile", and is simultaneously part of a larger community but also open to more specific or local meanings.

A great piece from Robots.net about the robot Wave Glider that survived Sandy, collecting data all along the way. (Which I found via DIY Drones.)
An autonomous Wave Glider robot named Mercury floated alone in the path of Hurricane Sandy about 100 miles east of Toms River, New Jersey. The robot survived 70 knot winds on the ocean's surface while its sensors gathered weather data and transmitted it in real time. The robot recorded a drop in barometric pressure of more than 54 mbars with a low of 946 mbars. The robot also carries cameras, wave sensors, fish trackers, hydrophones, temperature sensors, conductivity sensors, dissolved oxygen sensors, magnetometer, GPS, and a flurometer. For more details on what this robot does, see the article Air-Sea Interface Monitoring of Hurricanes at the Liquid Robots website. For some technical details of the robot itself, see the Wave Glider Technology Brief (PDF format) and Wave Glider Specifications document (PDF format).

mrfill July 05, 2014 12:42 AM I'm beginning to feel very sorry for the Torro Rosso duo. I think both are probably pretty good but its a rare day that something doesn't go hideously wrong for one or both. But then a lot of the cars seem to be dropping to bits. After the break I predict quite a few grid penalties for broken components and utter chaos when trying to work out the grid from qualifying. The shouty man on BBC will, in all probablility, explode.

reinmacre July 04, 2014 9:54 PM Remember when Vettel was winning all those championships and piling up gaudy wins totals? Now, Seb is routinely being outperformed by his teammate Ricciado. Put Alonzo, Hamilton, whoever, in the previous iteration of the Redbull Fi car, and it's safe to say they would have achieved the same results. Vettel is talented no doubt but just like in MotoGP, with the exception of the wunderkind MM93 who would probably be winning on the M1 as well, the guy with the best equipment package wins. Senna will always be regarded as the best ever. Reply Report abuse 4 agree 5 disagree

Sunnyside Amusement Park in Toronto
Sunnyside Amusement Park was a popular amusement park in Toronto, Ontario, Canada that ran from 1922 to 1955, demolished in 1955 to facilitate the building of the Metro Toronto Gardiner Expressway project. It was located on the Lake Ontario waterfront at the foot of Roncesvalles Avenue, west of downtown Toronto.
The name 'Sunnyside' was the name of a local farm owned by John George Howard, which was situated just to the north, on the location of the current St. Joseph's Medical Centre. Sunnyside Avenue runs north-south from that location north to Howard Park Avenue today. John Howard is also famous as the original landowner of the nearby High Park.
Prior to the construction of the park, the shoreline was a narrow stretch immediately to the south of the 1850s era rail lines. There was enough area for a restaurant and a small fenced off area was provided for changing into swimwear. To the east, the club-house of the Parkdale Canoe Club jutted out into the lake.
A plan was developed in 1913 by the new Toronto Harbour Commission to improve the shore lands from the foot of Bathurst Street to the Humber River. The plan, which included four miles (6 km) of breakwater, infilling of land, and the construction of the Lake Shore Boulevard, cost $13 million, and was paid for by the federal government.
A boardwalk along the south side of Lake Shore Boulevard was built, from the Humber River east to Wilson Park Avenue, 24 ft in width using white pine planks. This corresponded to the length of shoreline that was extended out into the lake. This boardwalk became the site of annual Easter Parades until 1953. It was rebuilt in 1934 as a make-work project and was paved using asphalt in the 1960s.
The Amusement Park lands themselves were completely created from sand dredged from the bottom of the bay and top soil from a farm in Pickering, Ontario. The original shoreline was extended into the lake by approximately 100 metres, from the foot of Wilson Park Avenue west to the Humber River, a distance of about 1 kilometre. Only a small length of the original shoreline and beach exists today, located between the Boulevard Club and the Canadian Legion building at the intersection of Dowling Avenue and Lake Shore Boulevard.
One of the first new buildings was the Sunnyside Pavilion, a curved structure providing a restaurant with views of the lake. It was located just to the east of Parkside Drive at the shoreline. Following this, the Sunnyside Bathing Pavilion and Dean's Sunnyside Pleasure Boats buildings were constructed. Soon after, concessions were requested and granted to operate amusements on the lands.
Sunnyside Amusement Park opened in 1922. At the time, there was an existing amusement park on Toronto Island at Hanlan's Point. It only operated a few more years until 1927 when a baseball stadium at the foot of Bathurst Street was built, replacing the stadium on the Island. Another amusement park, the Scarborough Beach Amusement Park was built in Scarborough, Ontario, to the east of Toronto.
The park was popular for its large roller coaster, known as the 'Flyer', several merry-go-rounds, the Derby Racer steeplechase ride and numerous smaller attractions. It also hosted several 'stunt events' including flagpole sitting, famous boat burnings in Lake Ontario and fireworks displays.
Other popular attractions included outdoor and indoor musical concerts, night clubs, and restaurants and walking along the boardwalk. In 1923, dog races were held on the lawn in front of the Bathing Pavilion.
Bathing Pavilion
By the 1920s, swimming at the foot of Roncesvalles had been popular for over thirty years, as there was a swimming area near a pumping station. This changed in 1913 when the pumping station was demolished to make way for the bridge connecting Lakeshore Road and the King/Queen/Roncesvalles intersection. A staircase was built for pedestrians to walk down to the shoreline. A slide was installed for bathers to slide down into the water. By 1920, this area was filled in and the beach was moved further to the south.
On June 28, 1922, Toronto Mayor Alfred Maguire opened the Sunnyside Bathing Pavilion to help bathers change for the swim in the lake. The building, constructed of concrete, cost $300,000. Each wing held an outdoor changing area, lockers and showers, the women's side on the east, and men's side on the west. It offered over 7700 lockers for patrons, a roof garden for 400. Admission fees were 25¢ for adults and 15¢ for children, and bathing suits and towels could be rented. In the center was a staircase leading to an upper terrace which overlooked the change areas leading to a rear terrace which ran the full length of the building and overlooked the beach.
On July 29, 1925, due to coldness of the lake during the preceding two summers, the Sunnyside Pool, nicknamed the 'Tank', was opened beside the Bathing Pavilion to the east. It measured 300 ft by 75 ft and could accommodate 2,000 swimmers. At the time of construction, the pool was considered the largest outdoor swimming pool in the world. Admission fees were 35¢ for adults, 10¢ for children.
Sunnyside Pavilion
Sunnyside Pavilion provided two restaurants and a tea garden facing the lakeshore. It was curved into a crescent with the tea garden positioned within the semicircle. It was designed by the same architects and was in the same style as the Bathing Pavilion, immediately to the west.
It was built in 1917 on the south side of Lakeshore Road. When built, its south side was on the lakeshore. As infill proceeded it ended up about 50 metres from shore, on the north side of the new Lake Shore Boulevard. In 1920, the building was enlarged and a new south entrance was built facing the lake. The restaurant had the Blue Room for 400 diners/175 dancing couples, and the Rose Room for a further 300 diners/150 couples. Dancing followed supper, with music provided by the Joe DeCourcy live orchestra.
In 1936, the Pavilion was renovated and became known as the Club Esquire supper club, with stage shows and dancing.
In 1941, the building was converted into the Top Hat night club. It was demolished in 1956 to make way for the new westbound lanes of Lake Shore Boulevard.
Sunnyside Flyer
The Sunnyside Flyer roller-coaster, advertised as having the "dippiest-dips on the continent" was opened in 1923. It was designed by veteran amusement ride builder A. J. Miller, who had built most of the attractions at the prior Hanlan's Point amusement park, and had built roller coasters in North America and Blackpool, England. The coaster was redesigned in 1933 with increased height and speeds.
Sunnyside Stadium
The Sunnyside Stadium softball and lacrosse field was opened on May 19, 1925 immediately to the east of the amusement park, next to the current Boulevard Club, then the Parkdale Canoe Club. It was the site of several popular women's softball leagues. It was bulldozed in 1956 for the current Boulevard Club parking lot.
Palais Royale/Dean's Sunnyside Pleasure Boats
Opening in 1922, the Palais Royale building provided a factory for Walter Dean to build his "Sunnyside Torpedo Canoe" on the lower floor, and the Palais Royale dance hall on the upper floor. The upper floor opened at ground level on the north, and the land sloped downwards to the lake shore line, where the lower level opened onto the lake. The factory also rented canoes and rowboats. Dean had been building boats in a nearby building that was demolished to build the amusement park and the Harbour Commission built the new building, which cost $80,000. The boat-building business ended not long after the opening of the amusement park, and Mr. Dean retired. The dance hall took over the whole building.
During the era of the amusement park, the dance hall operated as a nightclub with nightly live music along with special engagements from musicians such as Count Basie. From 1933 to 1950, Bert Niosi "Canada's King of Swing", provided the house orchestra. The hall still exists today as a special occasions event hall.
The plans for the Gardiner Expressway were known since 1943, as part of a City of Toronto Planning Board report which called for tens of miles of super-highways criss-crossing the Toronto urban area. But it was not until after several fires in the winter of 1955 that the Toronto Harbour Commission ordered the park's demolition, facilitating the building of the roadway. Lake Shore Boulevard was the scene of regular traffic jams and the park was seen to be impeding 'progress' to the development of Toronto.
Most rides were demolished, however several amusements including the Derby Racer were moved to the Canadian National Exhibition (C.N.E), and the carousel to Disneyland where it was renamed the King Arthur Carrousel. Only the Sunnyside Pool and Bathing Pavilion and the Palais Royale buildings survive in place as relics of the Park. For two summers afterwards, a small children's amusement area named 'Kiddieland' was operated to the south of Lake Shore Boulevard, the site of Budapest Park today. It was operated by Conklin Shows. A children's amusement park, 'Centreville Amusement Park', was later built on the Toronto Islands.
The old Lakeshore Road and its connecting bridge to the King/Queen/Roncesvalles intersection was demolished also. The Lake Shore Boulevard roadway was doubled from four lanes to eight lanes in the area of the amusement park with a large empty median between the lanes in each direction. For several years afterwards the median was used as parking lot for the annual Canadian National Exhibition. A pedestrian bridge was built to the south-side of Lake Shore Boulevard to replace the bridge and stairs that was demolished.
Starting July 21, 1957 the Queen streetcars that travelled down the old bridge and served the shoreline and park were moved to a new track to the north of the rail lines, in the middle of the new 'The Queensway' roadway, and the old tracks were removed.
In 1964, the lands of the park were transferred from Harbour Commission ownership to the City of Toronto, which has operated Budapest Park along the shoreline ever since, but most of the remaining lands of the amusement park are vacant or are roadways or parking lots.
In 1972, the Sunnyside train station just to the north of the old park ceased operations.
The area today
The boardwalk was removed and replaced with a boardwalk made of recycled plastic planks. A children's playground was built just east of the Ryder Pool. A recreation trail, part of the Martin Goodman Trail, was built south of Lake Shore Boulevard through the area for cyclists and in-line skaters.

Chicago - A white supremacist solicited violence against a juror by posting the man's address, phone number and other personal details on his extremist website, an appellate court ruled on Friday, overturning a lower court's decision to toss the neo-Nazi's conviction on the grounds that his posts were protected by the First Amendment.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago concluded that the posts by William A. White — who gained notoriety in 2008 for seeming to invite the assassination of then-presidential candidate Barack Obama on the same website — were not subject to the shield that the U.S. Constitution extends to most speech.
Even though White didn't explicitly instruct anyone to attack the juror when he posted the data on the website, the appellate judges said White's loyal readers would have known that was just what he meant in the context of other threats, including against Obama.
In its unanimous 30-page ruling, the three-judge panel agreed that the First Amendment "protects even speech that is loathsome." But the judges said "criminal solicitations are simply not protected."
White, from Roanoke, Va., should proceed to sentencing and not get a new trial, the judges wrote.
He faces a prison term of up to 10 years, though a sentencing date hasn't been set. He is currently serving the last months of a prison term that arose from a separate conviction for intimidation.
An attorney for the self-professed leader of the American National Socialist Workers Party sharply criticized Friday's ruling, saying appellate judges were swayed by his client's widely reviled racial and political views, not by sound legal theory.
"I think they used hatred towards my client to apply the facts as they wanted to apply the facts," Chicago-based attorney Nishay Sanan said in a telephone interview.
Sanan favors an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, saying he would argue that the First Amendment protects Internet postings such as White's. But he said White would make the final decision about further legal action.
In 2011, White was convicted of one count of solicitation for publishing the juror's name, photograph, home address, phone numbers and sexual orientation on his website; he even posted the name of the juror's cat. Prosecutors had said his threats against the juror had struck at the heart of the U.S. justice system.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman reversed White's conviction later in 2011, finding that his posts weren't explicit enough to cross the line into unprotected speech. But the appeals court said Friday that White's followers would have immediately understood he wanted the juror to be harmed, precisely because White had recently threatened Obama and others.
"Readers of (White's website) were not casual Web browsers," the ruling states. "But extremists molded into a community by the Internet — loyal and avid readers who, whether or not they remember every specific solicitation to assassination, knew that (the website) identified hateful enemies who should be assassinated."
The posting about Obama included a photograph of him with swastika-shaped crosshairs superimposed over his face and the words, "White people must deny (him) the presidency ... by any means necessary." White was never charged in relation to those postings.
White's website regularly attacked nonwhites, Jews and homosexuals and expressed approval for acts of violence. But he no longer has control of postings to the website.

Sorry I have been absent for a month but my wife and I have been moving into an improved remodeled house. It took almost 2 years to get it the way we wanted it. I even have a tea pantry now (Its really more of a hutch but its all tea).
This is a very nice Ceylon tea. Its woodsy and fruity and reminds me of a darjeeling. I even like the pyramid tea bags although they are stuffed after steeping. I'm going to try cutting open a bag and steeping to see if there is any difference. I have been drinking Dilmah as breakfast tea for the last month (I have 4 varieties) and it has really grown on me. Now to try other Ceylon teas. I have to buy more tea as the last month has really done a number on my stash.

Florence, Italy, 1944: The city is under heavy Nazi occupation, but for 13-year-old Paolo, war is a long and boring wait. Too young to fight for the resistance, yet desperate for action and adventure, he sneaks out each night to ride his bicycle along the darkened city streets. For Paolo, the risk is thrilling.
But when he is accosted by Partisans - covert members of the anti-Nazi movement - thrilling quickly becomes dangerous as Paolo and his family are thrust into a terrifying and impossible situation. Finally at the center of the action, Paolo must figure out once and for all whether he has what it takes to truly be a hero.

Craigslist Cleaned Up: Inside the New Adult Services
Craigslist cleaned up its adult service offerings to curb the blatant sale of sex online. So is the new approach really working? eSarcasm investigates.
Hey, baby. I want to tell you about the new, cleaned-up Craigslist Adult Services section. You're going to l-o-v-e it. I can't wait to show it all to you, if you know what I mean.
Oh, sorry — didn't mean to enter full-on Penthouse Forum mode there. I've just been delving into the recently rebranded Craigslist Adult Services section today, and I guess its subtle and not-at-all-sexual style got a hold on me.
Craigslist, in case you don't recall, came under fire a few months ago for the sex-tinged offerings in its online brothel Erotic Services section. South Carolina's attorney general threatened legal and criminal action against the company if it didn't shut the category down. (Them South Carolina boys, y'all know, they got them some strong morals.) Craigslist conceded and closed the doors on Erotic Services, opening instead a less whorish more moderated alternative called Adult Services.
So is an "adult service" actually any different from an "erotic service"? The jury's still out on that. But an exposé in the San Francisco Chronicle this week raises questions over whether any less cooch is being sold whether the sexual tones of the ads are any less present now than before. The only difference, the paper asserts, is that the language has become slightly "more discreet."
Being the pure-minded, not-at-all-twisted people that we are, we figured the Chronicle staffers were simply trying to find naughtiness where it wasn't. So we delved into some of Craigslist's adult-oriented ads ourselves to dig up the truth. Here are six excerpts of the kind of postings we found, and why we firmly believe they are perfectly innocent.
Excerpt #1
"Hot Model giving a Trusting, Healing and Powerful Full body massage
You are quivering in nervous anticipation as you hear the massage oil from the bottle to my hands."
Look, hot models have obviously gotten a lot of massages, so they know what makes one good. And I quiver in nervous anticipation before lots of good things — burritos, for example, or a friendly game of Balderdash. Nothing suspicious here.
Excerpt #2
"As I massage you, you softly moan in response to my touch. As you lay there with your eyes closed, you quietly think 'this feels so incredibly good'"
Softly moaning? So what? I'm softly moaning right now. For some of us, that's just part of an average afternoon. Mmm…typing is fun.
Excerpt #3
"Unique Sensual Massage Experience by Gorgeous Friendly Girl!
I am a very beautiful, petite, athletic, fun and friendly young lady.
I provide a very unique sensual massage service that is great for married men who do not want the whole shhhbang but just light, easygoing, safe & comfortable fun!"
No one wants to look at an uggo; especially when you're getting a massage, that'd make it tough to relax. And married men are under a lot of stress. The "whole shhbang" — you know, going to work and then coming home to do chores — can be very exhausting.
Excerpt #4
"Classy Mixed Brunette – Available Anytime – w4m
Age: Young 20's
Ethnicity: Mixed Asian
Hair: Brunette – Brown
Height: 5'5″
Weight: 130lbs
Measurements: 38D-26-36″
Height, weight, and measurements are valid factors to consider when selecting a therapeutical masseuse. Particularly with a very busty gal, some guys might worry that their parts would get in the way of the therapy and make things uncomfortable. It's only professional to provide that information up-front.
Excerpt #5
Anything you want and everything you need!
I don't believe in "bait-n-switch" therefore I can guarantee that what you see is what you get!
Come and indulge yourself into this blissfull fun"
Well, this one's a relief: The worst thing that could happen would be to see photos of a plush leather massage table and then arrive to find a simpler foam-cushioned model. And knowing that she provides "everything you need" is important. If you become thirsty mid-massage or get chilly and need a blanket, you want to know your therapist is willing to help.
Excerpt #6
"let"s have a good time…… – w4m
I'm SOOO HORNY!!! I love experimenting!!! and I LOVE SEX!!! I just cant get enough of it!! I will fuck for hours and hours moaning and what ever else you want me to do."
No one would really write something like that and mean it literally. This is obviously just a euphemism; she probably wants to get a cup of tea and play some tiddliwinks and doesn't know how to ask without appearing awkward. Plus, she doesn't even list a price, so she's clearly not selling anything.
We'll, uh, investigate further and get back to you.

Structural analysis and optimisation of transverse flux permanent magnet machines for 5 and 10 MW direct drive wind turbines
Zavvos, Aris and Bang, Deok-je and McDonald, Alasdair and Polinder, Henk and Mueller, Markus (2012) Structural analysis and optimisation of transverse flux permanent magnet machines for 5 and 10 MW direct drive wind turbines. Wind Energy, 15 (1). pp. 19-43. ISSN 1095-4244
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
The transverse flux permanent magnet generator offers high power density in terms of active mass. Two configurations of this machine topology (referred to as TFPM-1 and TFPM-2) are described, and optimised electromagnetic designs are presented. Direct drive generators require a significant support structure, which is designed to minimise the deflection into the air gap due to inherent electromagnetic attraction forces. The design of these structures is also dependant upon the generator topology. Structural design tools, which can be used in a design office environment, have been developed for the transverse flux machine and verified using commercial numerical modelling packages. Generic disc and arm structures are used. Only static analysis has been performed, but this does provide the designer with an estimate for more detailed design. A comparison of mass is made between the two transverse flux machines and a more conventional iron-cored permanent magnet generator. The comparison shows that TFPM-2 has the lowest total mass at 5 and 10 MW, but the conventional iron-cored machine is lighter than TFPM-1.

Cracking down on live jazz in NOLA :(

Surely you mean racist rich folk stomping their hate
Living very near NOLA, loving it dearly, and having spent a lot of time there, I don't think it's racism. It would be nearly impossible to live in NOLA and have a problem with people of other skin colors.
It's more a sign of the socioeconomic shift of the city center, IMO. rs |

Keeping promises
Dear friends,
Sarkozy, Harper, and Berlusconi promised to contribute 0.7% of their national income to fighting poverty -- aid money that would save millions of lives, and still leave these donor countries with 99.3% of their money. But apparently, they think 99.3% is not enough.
Our best chance to keep these rich countries to their word on aid delivery is to raise the alarm in New York this week. Sign our petition now, spread it to friends and family -- and our friend, world famous economist and top UN official on poverty, Jeffrey Sachs will deliver it in speeches to the assembled heads of state at the UN summit this Thursday. The more names on the petition, the stronger the message that promises on poverty must be kept.

While not against overseas aid, isn't it true that a vast proportion of government aid budgets go straight back into the pockets of rich western consultancies? I would rather my tax money went directly to those agencies best suited to spend it wisely. Maybe it's actually time to review the whole government aid thing?

Good point, Anonymous. The whole idea of Blog Action Day is to have these sorts of debates, so thanks for contributing.
My personal angle is that we need to review a whole lot more than just 'the government aid thing'. We need to make radical changes in just about every area of the way we live in this here world.
If we don't make a start soon the agenda will be dictated to us by the inevitable crises around the corner. - 10:45 AM, September 26, 2008

Coherent structures in wave boundary layers. Part 1. Oscillatory motion
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2010
This work concerns oscillatory boundary layers over smooth beds. It comprises combined visual and quantitative techniques including bed shear stress measurements. The experiments were carried out in an oscillating water tunnel. The experiments reveal two significant coherent flow structures: (i) Vortex tubes, essentially two-dimensional vortices close to the bed extending across the width of the boundary-layer flow, caused by an inflectional-point shear layer instability. The imprint of these vortices in the bed shear stress is a series of small, insignificant kinks and dips. (ii) Turbulent spots, isolated arrowhead-shaped areas close to the bed in an otherwise laminar boundary layer where the flow 'bursts' with violent oscillations. The emergence of the turbulent spots marks the onset of turbulence. Turbulent spots cause single or multiple violent spikes in the bed shear stress signal, which has profound implications for sediment transport (in both the laboratory and the field). The experiments also show that similar coherent flow structures exist in the case of combined oscillatory flow and current.
