I grew up in Michigan whre this type of configuration has existed for more than 40 years. The traffic flow does not affect businesses negatively. This configuration makes it safe to drive anywhere and may actually help some businesses since everyone is making right hand turns.

"Now I live in a neighborhood near Glenwood and Pinecrest that will be affected by this project. Thank God it won't begin until 2020, I'll probably have moved by then!"
And the light at Glenwood and Pinecrest for people passing through is the biggest waste of time and gas on that stretch of road between Duraleigh and I-540. Good riddance.
smcallah Dec 6, 2012
"It will severely affect the business of any retailer in such a corridor. People will not go to but so much hassle to get across the street or across traffic to get to a store. "
Apparently you don't know the area of Glenwood from Duraleigh to I-540. There are only a few businesses on that street between those two. Mostly furniture stores, and actually mostly stores you already have to make U-turns to get to.
That is still the only way to get to the former Circuit City/former CompUSA/current gym that is just down from Duraleigh if you're going towards I-540.

When configured as a superstreet, the dynamics of the traffic flow change in lots of ways. In general, those entering from side streets do not encounter the risks you fear in terms of crossing multiple lanes and making a Uturn. In most cases, there are still some stop lights, usually of much shorter duration, that interrupt the main road long enough for traffic to cross lanes and make Uturns. When traffic is lighter, those lights may not be needed -- much like niw with right turn red or flashing yellow left turn signals.
No claim that these designs are perfect nor that they will solve all the problems. The do allow greatly increase the amount of traffic that can flow freely and for a relatively low cost and without requiring additional right of way.

As someone who drives daily straight down Glenwood from west of Brier Creek to down by the mall (so one of those who would "benefit" most), this worries me. As people mentioned, trying to turn into traffic during rush hour and then having to cut across will be dangerous. Turning to make the U-turn is even worse, because people can't speed up until they've completely made the turn. So that's going to mean more slamming on the brakes as people are trying to cut in. On a road like Glenwood, it's going to cause MORE ACCIDENTS. Shaving a few minutes off my drive time is not worth someone getting hurt (as well as it adding a lot of time to other people's drive). Plus, the increase in accidents and fender benders is just going to worsen traffic and make everyone's drive longer. SYNCHRONIZE THE LIGHTS BETTER. That has to be a cheaper and more effective solution. It would also be interesting to see the research on how previous superstreeets have affected businesses (+ or -) along the route.
jonnraleigh Dec 6, 2012
Somehow the good folks who live south of Wilmington toward Leland make the superstreet work for them. Surely we are at least as bright as they are.
mmtlash Dec 6, 2012
taking out the stoplights allows traffic to flow more freely....could be a decent idea here
unc70 Dec 6, 2012
These designs are essentially elongated traffic circles, built mostly within the same rightofway used by the existing street and turn lanes. "Real" traffic circle designs from the beginning would be better, but it's too late for anything except remediation now.
BTW Many famous traffic circles have interesting uses of traffic lights, too. I am reminded of ones like the Place de l'Étoile in Paris, which is famous for having its own "no-fault style" rules for auto insurance coverage.
btneast Dec 6, 2012
This plan will definitely improve thru traffic on Glenwood, but it will be a disaster for merchants along that section of roadway.
unc70 Dec 6, 2012
I lived in that area some years ago (Foxcroft and Kirkwood). Still go through there fairly often. Before the changes to that intersection, in the mornings you could not go directly from Foxcroft on Dobbins (the access road) and even get on Erwin, much less get on Erwin to turn left towards Durham. You needed to go out the back way from Foxcroft and use Old Oxford to Erwin to Sage. That was why I mentioned Sage previously; no idea if one can now go down Dobbins to the Sage intersection, then turn left.
We each agree for people passing through, the redesign greatly improves traffic flow through the area. My experience is that the typical trip through that area is 5-7 minutes quicker than before.
ForeignDevil Dec 6, 2012
Wouldn't a roundabout be a better idea?
NCSUEngineerFC Dec 6, 2012
This is fanciful, but I've always though it would be cool to pass crossing traffic over a major thoroughfare (i.e. Glenwood) by building an overpass that has a traffic light and turn arrows + acceleration lanes for traffic that wants to merge onto the highway over which it passes. Overpasses are nothing new, but they could be deployed in smaller scale intersections.
Just a thought.
macy Dec 6, 2012
This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
CAROLINA43 Dec 6, 2012
Synchronize the lights during peak traffic times.
Excellent point!!!
A Pack Fan Dec 6, 2012
The traffic lights are 80% of the problem. Green light - GO, next light Red - STOP......... All the way into downtown. This has been an issue for over 10 years. Not rocket science.
jrbrock Dec 6, 2012
You're right, the 3rd light wasn't for u-turns (which had their own lane and light), it was for the right turns coming from the other direction. The traffic flow is like this:
There's a light at the intersection of Erwin and 15-501. Erwin can only turn right onto 15-501. In low-traffic times, you don't need to wait for the light (right on red). In the morning, you generally had to wait for the light.
Then you drive down to the u-turn light and wait.
Then you drive back down 15-501 and get caught at the red light for Europa, which is allowing them to turn right onto 15-501. (Erwin used to cross to Europa directly, this is what was eliminated by the superstreet.) It was timed in the morning so that you got caught at this light pretty much every time after making a u-turn.
I admitted these superstreets benefit the majority of traffic (people driving through), it's just very bad for locals who lose their left-turn intersection.
onefortheages99 Dec 6, 2012
I remember hearing about a plan like this at least 10 years ago. Synchronizing the traffic lights would go a long way to helping.
The Pleasant Valley area is particularly maddening. The side streets trigger the lights "on demand," meaning you can catch a red light at almost every signal.
CLM Dec 6, 2012
I travel Glennwood twice a day from Brier Creek to 440 and the probelm is not the side roads it is the lights not being Synchronize and the speed limit should at least 50mph. The Superstreet does not sound like a good idea;
I rather see a 3rd lane all the way down Glennwood.
tomfoolery Dec 6, 2012
The light synchronization is the very first thing that need to happen! You can watch one light turn red as the other turns green, with both intersections having the same number of movements.
Surely NCDOT has enough traffic engineers on their payroll to time the lights NEXT WEEK!!!

Another great plan brought to us by the geniuses that planned the roundabouts on Hillsborough Street.
me2you Dec 6, 2012
Raleigh has some of the most convoluted, strange roads I have ever seen.
mlslawter75 Dec 6, 2012
Have they taken into consideration the school transportation that would need to do this? Hilburn Elementary goes across Glenwood with several kids each morning and afternoon. Making you turns with a bus? And the Lynn Rd interchange? I lived off Duraleigh for 7 years. I traveled that corridor down Glenwood towards Durham and home for work. I am in agreement that there are better things and ideas than this.
Just Once Dec 6, 2012
Well, this is just a forerunner to the switchback intersections you see in New England. Yes - as soon as that is done something else will need done. Growth happens.
jrbrock Dec 6, 2012
heelsgirl, yeah I lived in Foxcroft Apartments which is nestled in the corner of 15-501 and Erwin.
Now I live in a neighborhood near Glenwood and Pinecrest that will be affected by this project. Thank God it won't begin until 2020, I'll probably have moved by then!
unc70 Dec 6, 2012
What side street are you describing entering the 15-501 interchange? You said you turn right, then uturn with light, then the SECOND uturn light. Don't think you can get the second light, whether coming from Erwin Rd or Europa Dr.
Traffic flow in that area was helped a lot by the changes in that area, though it is still a problem, particularly the merger of Fordham (Bypass) and Franklin Street. The current work on Sage Rd will help things on the other side (towards Durham); Sage is a better choice if going towards Durham anyway.
For those of you not familiar with this Chspel Hill example, not everyone is negative. People too easily forget what it was like before the changes were made.
kdawg Dec 6, 2012
So the 50 cars that line up on each side of Ebenezer and Glenwood for each light cycle at rush hour will need to cue up for a right turn, then a u-turn, before making another right turn, just to cross the street? Yeah, that's going to work in traffic so heavy you can't even make the first right turn. And they are basing this decision on the cluster that is 15-501? Seriously? What is the educational level of the people running NC-DOT?
bjrenegar Dec 6, 2012
If the crowd who "engineered" the Hillsborough St. roundabout is the same crowd working on Glenwood Ave, then I already know this is an idea they got fired up about at an engineer conference somewhere and it will NOT solve any problems with traffic. Yep, these U-turn thingies are springing up around the state. The ones in Charlotte are horrors. The trick is to turn right, then attempt to merge across however many lanes of traffic to get to the left where the U-turn lane is located. On Glenwood, have they even considered how many cars will be qued to get thru the U-turn lane??? What about demanding a couple of TTA buses route on Glenwood to RTP???
btneast Dec 6, 2012
It will severely affect the business of any retailer in such a corridor. People will not go to but so much hassle to get across the street or across traffic to get to a store. If it's not easy to get to from both directions of tradffic, people just won't stop there. That being said, the traffic needs some relief. There are no guarantees on how accessible one's location is into the future.....
awomack123 Dec 6, 2012
I get that the people that live on the side streets will be negaitively impacted. BUT, we have to look at the greater good sometimes. This will be a HUGE time savings for the remaining people on the road.
Someone made this point already, but better signal syncronization would help short-term, but the volume of traffic on the road makes that only a band-aid.
My bigest concern is the start date of 2020, and then the price tag of 101 Million! Adding a few merge lanes and u-turn spots will cost that much money??? Really??? Are the u-turn lanes made of gold?
wdprice3 Dec 6, 2012
Everyone that has driven routinely in areas were superstreets have been implemented raise your hands. The rest of you can keep your uneducated opinions to your self.
wdprice3 Dec 6, 2012
the population of drivers down here couldn't figure out a simple 2 lane traffic circle; superstreets are even easier to navigate, but I'm sure these "people" will cause enough problems to have the DOT redo this within 5 years of construction.
ohmygosh Dec 6, 2012
101 million for this. Do you realize how many miles of rural roads could be repaved for this?
heelsgirl05 Dec 6, 2012
jrbrock, did you live off Erwin Rd? I used to go down to Chapel Hill a lot since I grew up in Hillsborough and worked off Erwin Rd at a retirement community. I absolutely HATED having to make 1 right turn, then a left, then another right to go across 15-501!
Scubagirl Dec 6, 2012
So reading between the lines here, it would seem that the DOT is going to push this through IN SPITE of most being AGAINST this.
It's crazy, by the time they even start things will be so changed something else will be needed....
jrbrock Dec 6, 2012
Nooooo. These superstreets are great for passersby but very bad for the side streets that will be affected. I lived in a neighborhood affected by the "superstreet" in Chapel Hill. Previously it would take up to 2 minutes to turn left onto 15-501 from my neighborhood. After the "superstreet", you had to wait up to a minute to turn right (because of the dense morning traffic), drive down to the u-turn spot, then wait 2 minutes for that light, then drive back the way you came, and often run into the u-turn light for the other way. The whole thing took up to 5 minutes. Taking 5 minutes to turn left out of your own neighborhood is extremely frustrating!
NCSUEngineerFC Dec 6, 2012
And, as others have stated previously, it would be a nightmare to try and cut across several lanes of traffic to the center median and make a u-turn.
NCSUEngineerFC Dec 6, 2012
I live in that neck of the woods and frequently travel on Glenwood avenue. Seems like there are a few less costly things that could be done first, namely:
1. Synchronize the lights during peak traffic times. I cannot recall the last time I had more than 2 subsequent lights green. Surely all the IBMers we have in RTP could develop an easy algorithm for this.
2. Resurface/repair the road. The heavy traffic volume combined with the dump truck and 18-wheeler traffic has taken a toll on the structure of the road. Glenwood runs through a very industrial area (I am thankful for the companies and the jobs they provide), but the road has taken a beating.

"We're going to be an open book, and will make sure that transparency is there," Lincoln County Board of Education member Bob Silver told the Times-News on Tuesday.
"The culture of this board has changed and everybody wants the public to know that we are all making an effort to make sure they understand."
As board committees met on Tuesday, members demonstrated unanimous positions on ethics and transparency. For newcomers, such as Mark Mullen who attended his first Budget and Finance Committee meeting on Monday, the discussion on the morals of the committee was something he felt he needed to hear, as he starts the new year as not only a committee member, but also as School Board Vice-Chair.
Prior to entering into a closed session meeting to discuss a personnel issue, stand-in attorney to the board and its committees, Dean Shatley, decided to review the group's Code of Ethics policy, highlighting areas he felt may not be executed properly among the local education officials.
Decisions have to be made and discussed openly, Shatley told the group as he spoke on the importance of not conducting action during closed sessions, and being as clear with the public as (legally) possible about what happens behind closed doors.
"I think what needs to be done by the board, and existing board members, is to question themselves to be sure, are we following the (ethics) code to the best of our ability?" Silver said. "We need to make sure we're following the code to the letter."
Recently elected Policy Committee Chair Cathy Davis spoke with the Times-News about the need for transparency and honesty on the new board, something she felt may have been an issue in the past.
School Board Chair Candy Burgin agreed with the fellow committee members that all employees should and will be held accountable for ethical violations; various policies and procedures are going to be looked at in the new year, with revisions to ensure gray areas are eliminated.
The most important issues at hand are the students, teachers,staff and accountability to taxpayers, Burgin said.
Shatley said he also sees some existing ethics policies that are not being properly followed in several areas, but focused especially on the need for mutual respect among board members.
In order to set good examples for the students and to have healthy, successful conversations, members' opinions must be both respected and listened to, regardless of the speaker's peers' personal views on the situation, the policy reads.
"If you don't do what that policy (number four) says, then you will have issues that won't allow you to make good decisions for the kids," Shatley said.
Returning member Tony Jenkins noted that this particular portion of the document wasn't something that he feels was handled properly during his previous time with the board, and has since spoken about the need for clarity and openness among the current group, keeping students' best interests in mind.
Everyone was in agreement that this board will be different from its predecessors' history of not fully letting the public in on certain topics, the members reviewed the policy as a refresher of what their jobs entail, aside from looking over budgets and cost saving initiatives. New members will be required to attend two full days of ethics training in Raleigh, as part of the requirements for accepting their seat.
With ideas of active community involvement, clear-cut understandings of acceptable behavior, and fully executing the principles the board was founded on, the new committees and the board head into the new year.

Nairobi, Sep 6 (IANS) The most expensive footballer in Kenyan history, Victor Wanyama, arrived in the country to take his place in the national team 'Harambee Stars' squad for their 2014 World Cup qualifier against Namibia.
Wanyama who moved from Scottish league champions Celtic to English premiership side, Southampton in a 12.5-million-pound deal in August, went straight to the team's camp at Nairobi's Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani upon landing Thursday, reports Xinhua.
His arrival completed the 27-man contingent listed to participate in the qualifier against Namibia
Both teams are already out of the running to feature in Brazil next year.
"Having him in the team is a good boost for us and a statement that the game is important despite the fact that we are out of the competition to feature in the World Cup," head coach, Adel Amrouche, said while welcoming the combative midfielder and his captain to the squad.
"It shows that even the biggest players in the country value their team and this will serve to motivate younger players in the team and those looking forward to play in it in the future when they see a player like Victor with them."
Wanyama who has featured for Southampton in all the three matches they have played this season, joined the rest of the foreign-based legion led by his predecessor French Ligue 1, AJ Ajaccio striker Dennis Oliech.

MORRIS COUNTY — Officials with the Make-A-Wish Foundation say a New Jersey child has turned down a chance to have a dream fulfilled because he would rather help sick children whose families are struggling to pay their medical bills.
The organization grants wishes to critically ill children, such as arranging trips to Disney World.
And when the 7-year-old Morris County boy — who has a genetic blood disorder — was approached about his wish, he asked that money be donated to St. Joseph's Children's Hospital in Paterson, so less fortunate children could be treated.
Make-A-Wish has donated $2,500 in the boy's name to start a hospital fund.
Foundation spokeswoman Lindsey Pritzlaff says the boy's family wants him to remain anonymous, so he can learn the importance of doing good deeds without being praised.

Taco USA Gets Praise from Publishers Weekly!
The nice words keep piling up for my coming Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America--and I'm not talking about "random" reviews on Amazon or Yelp. All the main book-reviewing journals have praised the rant, the latest being the daddy of them all: Publishers Weekly.
The money quote in the review
is that the book is an "entertaining nod to culinary and cultural histories" and "as much as some Americans may protest Mexican immigrants, they're in love with Mexican food." It didn't get a starred review like my previous effort,Orange County: A Personal History
, but that's okay--it's a good review! Yay!
More--many more--previews of the book to come...

There are many ways in which you can market your product on the Internet out of which the following three have been found to be the most effective
Using Online Social Media – Online marketers have found that social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook play an important role in enhancing their business. You will see almost every other company having a Twitter or Facebook profile. Facebook pages are being used by businessmen more or less like an official website. This is because pages can be created on Facebook within a matter of minutes with a truckload of information including photos, videos and links. Twitter on the other hand is best for viral marketing. It's easier on Twitter to reach a large fan following in the shortest amount of time as compared to Facebook. You can even keep track of who all are speaking about your business, product or service by using their innovative search feature. Both online and offline businesses will continue to make use of social media to increase their popularity. This method will quickly replace the old networking system where businessmen had to move out of their office rooms in order to meet new possible customers and clients
Article Marketing – This method involves writing helpful and
informative articles which are then submitted to various directories
online. Though many directories do not allow articles that have excessive
links you can always add your site URL as part of your signature. Whenever
a surfer gets interested about the product or service you have mentioned
in your article they will click on the business URL to know more about
it. This increases your chance to get sales because of highly targeted
traffic. Published articles stay online forever. This means a steady
flow of traffic to your website along with potential buyers for many
years to come.
Blogging – Starting up a web log for your business is a smart Internet marketing move. You can make your blog sound formal or informal. Many people like to purchase products or services from a person who appears 'real' but there are others who wouldn't want to buy stuff from a person who sounds unprofessional. It's up to you to decide which type of audience you want to cater to. You can use a website to host your blog or use free blogging platforms like Blogger or WordPress. By regularly updating your blog, you are increasing your chances of ranking higher in search results. This means more organic traffic and increased sales.
The reason why these 3 strategies are so effective is because you are not forcing your customers to buy your products. When it comes to seo management software, Internet marketing, building trust with customers should be of utmost importance and these techniques help you out in achieving that in an easier and cost-effective manner.

Fred Van Lente Reveals 'Project Black Sky' Secrets At Dark Horse [Interview]
If you've been keeping up with Dark Horse's line of superhero comics, then you've already heard of Project Black Sky -- both the shadowy government agency ostensibly meant to protect Earth from alien threats, and the upcoming event tying in Brain Boy, Captain Midnight, Skyman and more. If have, then you already know that as sinister government organizations go, those folks are pretty creepy, right down to their Latin motto, translated as "Who if not us?"
But to find out just how sinister they are, I spoke to writer Fred Van Lente about his approach to unifying Dark Horse's disparate characters, the stories he couldn't tell, and why he reunited with artist Steve Ellis to reveal the secret history of Project Black Sky in a free webcomic.

There's no question that it's tougher than ever to market your law firm. Gone are the days when you could just hang your shingle, place a small ad in the local Yellow Pages, do a good job with your clients, and expect to run a highly successful practice.
Nowadays, to effectively market your practice you have to be using the Internet. You've got to have a dynamic website that draws tons of prospects, but more importantly, you've got to have a website that converts those prospects into clients. Plus, you've got to be able to incorporate social media into your strategy and tactics and also understand the keys to leveraging the power of online video.
But while it's true that it's tougher than ever to market your practice these days, there are tremendous opportunities ready for lawyers who take the initiative to learn the secrets. In this fast-paced and easy-to-follow book, Tom Foster (whose company hosts over 200 of the most successful law firm websites in the world) reveals what every attorney needs to know about online marketing, including:
Here's the thing: These days, lawyers can't just rely on calls from their Yellow Pages ads, TV commercials, or referrals to get new cases. The Yellow Pages are going the way of the dinosaur. Television viewers channel-surf or skip over commercials by using their DVRs. Competition for referrals has never been fiercer.
It's a wonder any law firms using stale marketing tools are surviving at all. While some of these methods do occasionally cause the telephone to ring, there is a much better way:
Make it part of your strategy to build a successful, thriving law practice that funds the type of lifestyle you've always wanted. Don't sit on the sidelines while opportunity slips away, or while your competitors take advantage of you.
Your A-Z guide is just a few clicks away. Download the liveliest book from Foster Web Marketing, Explode Your Practice Through Internet Marketing: A How-to Guide for Attorneys today to learn about the BETTER way.

Williams happy to be one of Furner's loyal Raiders for nowLee Gaskin
Published: April 5 2013 - 3:00AM
Raiders halfback Sam Williams intends to repay the faith shown in him by Canberra coach David Furner amid speculation he is high on the wish-list of the St George Illawarra Dragons.
Fairfax Media reported earlier this week that Dragons coach Steve Price had phoned Furner last month to ask whether Williams could be secured before the June 30 deadline.
The Raiders said no, but the Dragons are still interested in recruiting the off-contract Cooma junior for next season.
Williams said he had not spoken to his management about moving to the Dragons, with his focus squarely on helping the last-placed Raiders turn around their disappointing start to the season.
''There's reports like that, but I try not to look into anything outside of my control and concentrate on what I can do,'' Williams said. ''I'm not 100 per cent sure of the facts, but that's the biggest thing about having a manager, you don't have to worry about that sort of stuff.
''[Furner] has shown a fair bit of faith in me in the past and has been really good for me, so I'd like to think nothing will change.''
Williams is one of several Raiders players off-contract at the end of the year and is confident his status will not be a distraction.
''I don't think it's something that I worry too much about,'' he said. ''I guess maybe if you get to round 24 and you don't have anything then you will probably start asking some questions.
''At the moment it's really early in the season and there's plenty of time to work something out.''
The 22-year-old admits his form through the opening month of the competition could have been better.
The Raiders have struggled for any sort of cohesion in their first four games and have a solitary win to their name as they prepare for Sunday night's crucial round five clash with the high-flying Sydney Roosters at Canberra Stadium.
Williams has retained his spot in the halves with co-captain Josh McCrone, but faces intense competition with the impending return of club skipper Terry Campese. The representative pivot is slated to make his comeback from a second knee reconstruction any time from this weekend to round 10.
Williams has played 37 first-grade games since his debut in 2011 and returned to the Mounties, the Raiders' NSW Cup feeder club, when Campese made seven appearances last season.
''As long as I'm improving and putting in 100 per cent, that's all I can worry about,'' Williams said.
''I don't think it's any extra pressure. It doesn't matter the situation I'm in now or just coming into first grade, there's always pressure to perform well. As a half, you live and die by results.''

Kingsdown School, Special Needs School
Kingsdown is a Community Special School for children aged 3 to 14 who have severe learning difficulties (SLD), profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), physical disabilities and associated learning difficulties. The majority of pupils have communication difficulties.
Our Mission Statement is 'Be happy, communicate, learn and achieve'. To support this statement we provide a secure, happy, respectful and caring environment where a differentiated curriculum is delivered to ensure the learning needs of every pupil are met. Everyone at Kingsdown has high expectations; we expect everyone to achieve and celebrate success. The school works in close partnership with parents and carers; we seek to support the whole child and not just the pupil in school from 8:45am to 3:30pm.
The school has excellent relationships with the professionals who support the many needs of the pupils.
The pupils' personal development, behaviour and welfare are a very high priority.
Our funded pupil placement is 105, but currently 118 pupils are on roll. At present every pupil has either a Statement of Educational Needs or an Education, Health Care Plan, but there are occasions when a child is given an assessment placement.
It is always the Local Authority's decision to place a child at Kingsdown School.
Taking care of our Pupils' Future
Our aim is to enable every pupil to achieve their very best. We want every pupil to have an inner self-confidence, be able to communicate, have social skills, know what is right and wrong, and be independent. We believe these skills are the key to life.
If you are interested in visiting Kingsdown School, please contact the school office who will arrange for you to visit the school and meet Margaret Rimmer, Headteacher.
In June 2014, Ofsted reported that Kingsdown School is "a good school with outstanding areas; it is a school where the staff have excellent relationships with pupils".

Ancelotti praises Leipzig win
Bayern Munich head coach Carlo Ancelotti believes their 3-0 win over title rivals RB Leipzig prior to the international break was the first time they'd played well all season.
The Bavarians moved three points clear of Leipzig with the victory on the last day of the first half of the season and will be looking to take momentum from that game when they resume their charge for a fifth consecutive German top-flight title this season.
"It was an important game for a lot of reasons, because until then, we didn't play so well," Ancelotti told ESPN.
"Against Leipzig was the first game where we played really well. We played against a strong team that did really well until now and they were in second position.
"But the game, we played really well, so this gives us more confidence for the future."
Some feel that Bayern's relative struggles this season have been born from complacency among the squad after winning four straight Bundesliga titles, allowing the Bullen to challenge their authority at the top of the standings. However, Ancelotti believes that couldn't be further from the truth.
"When you speak about a professional player, it means to speak about a player that all the time has the game to be back now every single day, to be focused every single training, to try to win every single year," he added.
"To motivate this kind of player is really, really easy, because they have the quality to be at the top also mentally."

The Talmud On Transitivity
Transitivity is a fundamental axiom in Economics that appears in consumer theory, decision under uncertainty, and social choice theory. While the appeal of transitivity is obvious, observed choices sometimes contradict it. This paper shows that treatments of violations of transitivity al- ready appear in the rabbinic literature, starting with the Mishnah and the Talmud (1st–5th c CE). This literature offers several solutions that are similar to those used in the modern economic literature, as well as some other solutions that may be adopted in modern situations. We analyze several examples. One where nontransitive relations are acceptable; one where a violation of transitivity leads to problems with extended choice functions; and a third where a nontransitive cycle is deliberately created (to enhance justice).

Both texts utilise the idea of modern technology (the virtual dreamworld created in Inception and the space-hospice in Dr Who) to examine the ways in which people cling onto the past in different ways; often with destructive consequences. The message of the former seems to be: 'cling onto your past at the cost of your future.' The recurring motifs of the 'projection' of Cobb's late wife and the image of the back (never the front) of his children playing in the garden serves as a potent reminder of the danger of living in the past (Cobb's wife) to the detriment of one's future (Cobb's children). Only when the memory of his wife is dispatched is he able to engage again with 'real life'.

I think it is here that the film is really interesting. On the whole there are lots of silly things about Inception (it is the kind of film I loved as a teenager and thought terribly profound), but the idea that a) you can become consumed by your past and b) you CHOOSE to do this IS quite a profound one. The final shot of the film [spoiler here] is of the spinning top Cobb uses to test the 'reality' of his world - if it continues spinning then it is a dream. Nolan cuts the slow zoom onto the spinning top before it can fall; we actually watched this shot several times, arguing whether there was a slight tremor that indicated it was about to fall, thereby confirming Cobb had indeed returned to reality and his children. The ambiguity belies this neat ending, and therefore leaves it to the audience to decide. But does it really matter? If Cobb has chosen to live in a dream in which his wife is dead but he still has his children, what he has done is merely swap one dream for another. So the narrative seems to suggest that free will (in this sense just the freedom to choose) is the defining nature of existence.

The use of technology is linked to this self-determination. From the early days of Friends Reunited (remember them?) to the ubiquity of Facebook, a very modern preoccupation is to check out what other people (often from your past, often those you don't really see any more) are doing/what they have achieved/how fat they've got or not as the case maybe. This can become addictive, and seems quite ironic that for a society that can communicate instantly with anyone in the entire world at any time, we spend SO much time looking back. One of the most memorable scenes in the film is where Ariadne (Ellen Page) imagines the dream world folding in on itself, with the ground forming the sky. Is the Chinese-box style narrative a comment on this? Or the confines of a depressive mind-set, whose thought patterns run around and around on the same track?

Dr Who is less ambiguous in its judgement of the past (and future). Of course Rory chooses the young Amy. He had no choice; she was his future. The old Amy was stuck in the past (or future), isolated, hating, suddenly a genius capable of constructing a sonic screwdriver out of a bit of piping and a hairpin. Yet she was still Amy. Of course Amy is in a literal prison, but this has been shored up by her making a prison out of her memories ('I knew a boy who pretended to be in a band...'). The inability to move on from the past, this episode suggests, will age you, make you embittered. Existing only to survive. The technology here is designed to at once keep people alive (or at least comfortable in the passage to death), yet for the all-too-human Amy it is a living death. One touch from the (frankly slightly silly) handbots and she's a gonner. Lack of human contact, present, warm, messy, is the stuff of life in Dr Who. Interestingly Amy builds herself a Rory, with a smiley face but no hands. Now she has control. The final scene of 'The Girl Who Waited' sees old Amy and Rory touching hands through the glass door of the Tardis. They touch, but do not touch. Because old Amy cannot forgive, she cannot break through the wall she has built around herself. Technology distances, yet gives the illusion of closeness. And yes, I cried at the end of both of these. But then I'm soft.

I'll admit that I've come to Mad Men a little late; we are currently half way through Season Two. And I have to say it is one of the best TV dramas that I've seen. Truly; beyond the slick production, attention to period detail and beautiful costumes (not to mention the actors who wear them), there is something at the heart of the drama that is Shakespearean. This sounds hyperbolic, and it is. <o:p></o:p>

The Mad Man is Don Draper (or not as we discover in Season One) and his alcohol-fuelled, sex-obsessed office of Sterling Cooper Advertising. The opening credits see an animated Draper-esque shadow falling from a NY sky scraper (9/11 imagery) and his sophisticated life of cocktails, shows, dinner parties and fancy cars are very evidently a thin facade. So the audience is immediately informed that He Will Fall. The question is: is he Othello or Macbeth? (Draper is not introverted enough for Hamlet); there was a suggestion that the narrative would take the former path when the slimy Campbell discovers Don's secret. When this doesn't pan out and with the increasing focus on the narrative on the breakdown of the Draper's marriage, perhaps Macbeth would be a more suitable comparison. <o:p></o:p>

I am rambling a bit here, I realise -  possibly I should keep quiet until I've seen all of the series. However, I do like the emptiness of the lives of the characters; that they are all 'profoundly sad' (as one of Betty Draper's would-be suitors so melodramatically terms it), reflecting the emptiness of the advertising business. I like the conspiratorial references made between the writers and the audience with how terrible things were in the 60s (the smoking, the sexism, the racism, the littering – somehow the most shocking) and how much better things are now. A more critical perspective would point out how heavy handed all this is. But I think that this is one of the show's strengths. This is a drama about emptiness, lack of meaning. The audience gets very little in the way of intimate knowledge of the characters' inner lives – it is all exterior. Even Betty's foray into psychoanalysis is superficial (partly because of her reticence and partly as it is Draper's way of monitoring and controlling her). <o:p></o:p>

For a thoroughly modern C21st audience we are allowed the space to read the characters as we please. And this is Mad Men's genius.

The quotation is from the scene where 'The Turk' asks Don Corleone for money as he wishes to expand his drug-dealing and needs the power and influence that Don Corleone has over the police and local politcians that he carries around in his pockets 'like so many nickels and dimes.'

There are two main reasons why this particular quotation has stuck in my mind: firstly it's such a powerful simile. I love the image of lots of tiny policemen and senators being knocked around carelessly in the deep pockets of an Italian wool overcoat, like Borrowers or Minpins that the Don might take out and trade for a coke.

Secondly, in the narrative of the film this is the turning point. It is because of the refusal of Don Corleone to engage with drug-dealing that The Turk makes a play for his position, resulting in Sonny's death and the shooting of DC himself. Coppola directs the scene with the same steady pace as the opening scene of film (inside the house during Connie's wedding), yet the camera angles belie the high-key lighting to give the scene its sense of unease, so that even a kid with no understanding of politics could pick up that the Meeting Did Not Go Well.

Although as an adult I see the melodrama of this text, I still love its attempt to do Greek tragedy, where Michael is destined to become his father and push away the moral centre that is Kay. And, responding to the film as a child, I think there is an appeal of a culture that has clearly defined rules (albeit abhorrently violent ones) and loyalties; there is something quite logcial about that in a Lord of the Flies-kind-of-way.

I'm intending for this blog to become an outlet for my ideas/reactions to film (and some TV), and will eventually include teaching resources for Film and Media GCSE and A Level. I hope that you find something interesting/useful here.Rachel Robertshttp://email@example.com

There's no denying that we love mild temperatures – not too hot, not too cold, but just right. It's no surprise, then, that once spring rolls around, we're all too ready to get outside and enjoy the warm sun. Of course, spring comes with its own downsides, namely allergies. Millions of Americans battle allergy season every year, and our region is notorious for having some of the worst air for allergy sufferers. Of course, there are steps you can take to battle your allergies, and odds are good you're already taking them if you're used to going through this procedure year after year. However, there are some alternatives for treating your spring allergies that you may not have considered.
Blount Memorial otolaryngologist Dr. Bryan Tigner says surgery is an option, but wouldn't be considered the first step. "One thing I always tell my patients is that the nose is a filter," he said. "We clean all of our other filters such as our oil filters and air filters, but we don't consider our noses. With nasal saline solutions or one of the sinus rinses available over the counter, we can wash out the pollens that your nose is filtering out throughout the day. It can be really helpful and it's natural. Many of the most-effective allergy medications now are available over the counter, including Nasacort and Flonase. Those are good, safe therapies for the first line of defense. When those measures don't work, you probably should make a visit to your doctor," he explained.
If you find you're having less luck with over-the-counter remedies, Tigner says there are ways your doctor can help. "There are combination nasal sprays and nasal steroids that are very effective that are available by prescription," he said. "When a patient comes to see me, I'm also looking for structural defects that might be contributing to their symptoms, such as a deviated septum or turbinate hypertrophy. Often symptoms may not be caused by allergies alone, but may be due to sinusitis," he said. "We also can perform allergy testing to determine exactly what you're reacting to and how to best avoid or treat those things," he added.
"Surgical options depend on the structures involved," Tigner said. "A lot of patients who come in with chronic congestion have a deviated septum or turbinate hypertrophy, where the turbinates in your nose that filter things out are chronically inflamed and have to be repaired surgically because medicine no longer works. People who suffer from allergies also are at an increased risk for sinusitis. There are many minimally invasive techniques to address sinusitis now, one of which is balloon dilation of the sinuses, which is a procedure that can be done in the office. A patient can go home the same day and be back at work the next day, so that's a great option for patients who are good candidates for it," he explained.
"We've found that patients who suffer longer from sinusitis without getting the proper treatment have poorer long-term outcomes and end up using more health care dollars," Tigner explained. "The quicker we intervene and identify those patients who need surgery, the better those patients tend to do. The bottom line is people don't have to suffer. In the last year, Blount Memorial has purchased the state-of-the-art Medtronic Fusion Image Guidance System, which allows us to do both simple and complicated sinus surgeries. It's one of the best image guidance systems around, and it allows us to perform sinus surgeries more safely and more completely than ever before," he added.
As a board-certified otolaryngologist, Dr Tigner is able to offer his patients an effective balance of surgical and medical treatments for sinus and nasal problems to help them regain their quality of life, and return as quickly as possible to the activities they enjoy. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 865-983-4090.

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — As we first reported yesterday, Boca Raton Police took down an alleged burglar just minutes after a victim called for help. The owner of the home on Camino Real returned home to find a broken bedroom window and a bicycle in the front yard.
An undercover officer was already in the area and found Marcus Hunter, 20, who was allegedly bleeding and in possession of the victim's credit cards and other personal items.
From the affidavit of probable cause:
I then conducted a search of Hunter`s person during which other debit cards and bank slips belonging to (the victim) were found, including the card originally found, the following items were on Hunter`s person: 1) A Florida Debit Visa Card bearing (the victim's) name, the last four digits were xxxx. 2) A Wells Fargo Debit Visa bearing (the victim's) name, the last
four digits were xxxx. 3) A USAA Master Card belonging to (the victim), the last four digits were xxxx. 4) Four Wachovia bank slips belonging to (the victim). 5) 1 Wachovia bank booklet belonging to (the victim). 5) A white rock (weighing 89.80 grams). 6) A Kyocera cellular telephone belonging to (the victim). 7) A pair of black gloves. 8) A green "Mighty Match" lighter belonging to (the victim). 9) Other miscellaneous papers.
When I went to (the victim's)` residence I observed a broken out window on the east side of the residence, blood on the front door just below the door knob on the outside and a burnt object on the bathroom floor. Officer Cagno advised me that the burnt item had been smoldering when he arrived on scene. See Officer Cagno`s supplement for further.
Additionally, Crime Scene Technician Copes responded to process the scene, see her supplement for further. I spoke with (the victim) on scene; she told me that she left her residence at approximately 1210 hours and returned home around the time of the call. (the victim) advised that when she went to open her front door she was unable to do so and believed someone was inside holding it shut. After backing away from the front door she noticed the broken window on the side of the house and the abandoned bicycle at which time
she called 911.
Hunter was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail where he remains.

By Archelle Georgiou. This week's Sunday New York Times had its usual array of breaking national and international news on the front page, but my loudest "Oh No!" came when I turned to page 14 of the Magazine. Randy Cohen, author of The Ethicist, announced that he is retiring his column. For those of you who are not familiar, Cohen's weekly column typically posed two moral/ethical dilemmas followed by his expert analysis and perspective.
This column has been part of our family's Sunday morning ritual since it started being published 12 years ago. Bagels, lox, coffee…and… The Ethicist column. We all knew the routine
1.Archelle reads the dilemma. Twice.
2.Each daughter, youngest to oldest, must take a definitive position and defend it with clear rationale (yes, even Zoe is included in the lineup)
3.David, then Archelle, declare their positions. (I always go last since I seem to have the strongest opinion and don't want to influence everyone else.)
4.Family debate…aka…we argue.
5.Once we're exhausted or reach an impasse, we read Cohen's expert opinion.
This discussion, every Sunday, week after week, was valuable for teaching the girls a process for deciding between right and wrong. The everyday scenarios that Cohen presented were a non-threatening way to proactively work through many of the seductive temptations that they would inevitably face later in their lives.
From December 2002: Is it okay to Google some one you've started dating to check up on them? SN, New York
In 2002, this was a dilemma. In 2011, this seems like a no-brainer.
From May 2004: I am an American posted to Vietnam, where pirated movies on DVD are cheap and ubiquitous, and legitimate copies are nearly nonexistent. Would it be ethical to purchase pirated DVD's if I also join a monthly unlimited-rental service like Netflix? Ben Moeling, Hanoi, Vietnam
Arielle found herself with this exact dilemma as she spends the year in China.
From September 2007: A friend and I will soon take the LSAT. His father, a psychiatrist, gave him Adderall to help him take the test. I asked if he could share some with me, and he said that would be unethical. Is it? Isn't his dad's giving him the Adderall unethical? Name Withheld, Austin, Tex.
The sharing of Adderall on college campuses is rampant.
The lifelong impact of this column became evident in 2005 when Athena was preparing for her Bat Mitzvah and matter of factly announced to us and the Rabbi that she wasn't sure whether she believed in God. Since God and religion are merely a construct for moral/ethical decision-making, we were unconcerned about whether she believed in "God" but were very concerned that she develops a solid framework for distinguishing right from wrong.
Cohen's ethics column was a non-threatening, familiar vehicle for helping Athena navigate through the process of maturing her moral framework. After 10 months, Athena developed her own set of "ethical decision guidelines" that she proudly shared in her Bat Mitzvah speech with our 130 guests: When faced with a dilemma, avoid decisions/actions that:
•are against the law
•don't give you a good gut feeling
•you wouldn't be proud to tell your mom
•you wouldn't want on the front page of the Wall Street Journal
Making ethical decisions is learned, not innate. It's a skill, not a talent. It takes practice and improves with feedback, debate, and, most importantly, self-reflection. It requires that you look at your own actions and honestly assess your intentions.
Is it ethical to sign an employment non-compete without really intending to honor it since its unlikely to be enforceable anyway?
Is it ethical to use ICD-9 codes that are not accurate but that assure a patient's medical services will be reimbursed?
Is it ethical to accept a Senior Discount when a hotel clerk mistakenly assumes you are over 65?
Is it ethical to have dinner with a friend when on a business trip and then submit the entire restaurant bill as a business expense?
What decisions would you make in these scenarios? Some may seem so innocent…but are they?
Cohen may be retiring his column but his dilemmas are very alive on the New York Times website. Read them. Debate them. Help your kids mature their moral maturity and continue to refine your own. We all need probably need some help in this arena. It's a process that never ends.

For the first time at the Dubai Air Show, Eurocopter (Stand A140) is showing its full-scale mockup of the in-development EC175 medium-twin helicopter. The manufacturer recently disclosed some performance numbers for the seven-metric-ton-class rotorcraft, which will compete mainly with the AgustaWestland AW139. What is now official is the EC175's radius of action offshore–270 nm at ISA+20–and a cruise speed of about 135 knots. Four fuel tanks provide a capacity of 600 U.S. gallons. One optional tank increases this by 90 U.S. gallons, which translates into a total radius of action of 320 nm.
Eurocopter pledges that the EC175 will be able to remain afloat in sea states up to level six. The main gearbox has an emergency lubrication system able to operate for 30 minutes after total loss of lubrication. In maintenance, MSG-3 methodology is expected to make maintenance needs lighter. A pair of Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6C-67E turboshaft engines powers the 16-passenger rotorcraft.
First flight is now imminent, as it is expected to take place by the end of the year. A 50-50 Sino-European effort by Eurocopter and Avicopter, the EC175 will be known in China as the Z15.
