It's been 10 years since the expiration of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, which created America's federal standards for the treatment of juvenile offenders. Efforts to reauthorize the legislation have failed repeatedly.
However, the Senate last week passed its version of the JJDPA reauthorization bill—S. 860, the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Reauthorization Act—a development that gives hope to juvenile justice reform advocates across the country.
Previous reauthorization attempts faced significant hurdles. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., held the bill last year over an objection to phasing out of the valid court order (VCO) exception. VCOs allow state and local systems to detain youth for committing so-called "status offenses" like running away from home, truancy, underage smoking and curfew violations – things that wouldn't be crimes but for the age of the perpetrator. The VCO exception, Cotton argued, grants state courts additional options when dealing with juvenile offenders.
But Cotton's opposition prompted a hold from Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who stated he would not support the bill without the phase-out. Ultimately at an impasse, last year's negotiations ran out of time.
For reauthorization to be successful, both the House and Senate bills must be agreed upon in conference committee and then passed by both chambers of Congress. Leaders on the issue in the House released a statement shortly after news of S. 860's passage, expressing commitment to crafting a final reauthorization bill alongside their Senate colleagues.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., are leading the Senate effort. It is anticipated the bill will reach the president's desk before the end of this congressional session.

Pembridge Insurance keeps full partnership with the Broker Identity Progra
One more insurance company has renewed its full partner support of the Insurance Brokers Association of Canada's (IBAC) Broker Identity Program (BIP).
The association has announced Pembridge Insurance's continued support for the program, which seeks to educate the public on how insurance brokers help their clients and provide them with choice, advice, and advocacy.
As a full partner, Pembridge's will contribute to IBAC's other initiatives, such as the bureau's technology leadership, professional development of the broker workforce, and the bureau's federal advocacy on the separation of banking and insurance – to protect consumers and ensure a fair marketplace.
"We continue to be proud supporters of the broker identity program and look forward to working with IBAC on the many initiatives that promote brokers' roles as trusted advisors to their customers," commented Pembridge Insurance president and COO Bob Tisdale.
"We greatly appreciate Pembridge's continued investment in our broker identity program. Their support is a clear demonstration of their confidence in the broker value proposition and their commitment to customer service excellence," commented IBAC CEO Peter Braid.
Several other insurance companies have also recently renewed their full partner status with the IBAC and the BIP.

Founded by its parent organization, The Foundation for the Arts, Nagoya (FAN), the Nagoya/Boston Museum of Fine Arts (N/BMFA) was established as the sister museum of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, to share with Japan a comprehensive view of world art from across all cultures and time periods. Since its opening on April 17, 1999, when the 20-year partnership (1999–2019) was launched, the N/BMFA has presented more than 30 major exhibitions organized by the MFA with the N/BMFA, sharing more than 2,700 works from the MFA's encyclopedic collection. Exhibitions are developed through the collaborative efforts of MFA and N/BMFA curators, who travel between Boston and Nagoya to study, share research, and discuss exhibitions. The N/BMFA also has served as an important model for artistic and cultural exchange between the United States and Japan, and has become an integral part of the vibrant community life in Nagoya, a flourishing center of commerce and industry in the heart of Japan.

In Romania, for about a month before Christmas, the Orthodox Christian tradition is to abstain from all or some kinds of food and drink as a religious observance. It's called fasting and two thirds of Romanians choose to do it every year. But many of them forget that fasting is not a diet. It's a tool for spiritual growth. And while you're fasting as a choice, others do it because they have to.
How to raise awareness and get Romanians to help those in need, during lent?
We set out to make Romanians realize that, without even planning, they're actually saving a lot of money.
And fasting shouldn't be about that at all.
We launched a new kind of donation tool for Hopes and Homes Romania.
It's a virtual restaurant called "The Meaning of Fasting", a place where you can donate what you save when fasting to kids in need all over Romania.
All you have to do is choose the dishes that you would have had if you hadn't been fasting and donate their price to children that live on less than 1 Euro a day.
Celebrities, bloggers and journalists joined the cause and, in just a couple of weeks, with no budget at all, 32410 Lei got donated: the equivalent of 1455 main courses, 126 drinks and 645 deserts. And we're just getting started! Because, luckily, Romania has over 120 days of fasting every year.

A business isn't a solid immovable thing. It's a living breathing organism shaped both by the people who work in it and by its customers. Stay too long in one place and you'll find your customers, and your competitors, have moved on.
Our story.
Elabor8's founders Andrew, Nam, and Paul, along with our CEO John Sullivan, first met in the mid-2000s as part of the highly regarded digital team at Sensis. It was a critical moment in technology history, at a time when digital channels had begun to replace traditional channels as the primary means of customer interaction.
They watched as businesses that were hamstrung by slow-moving product delivery processes fell behind more agile competitors, and lost the hearts and wallets of customers. In response, in 2008 Andrew, Nam, and Paul decided to form Elabor8, a specialist business analysis consultancy that brought talented people into an environment where they could help those who needed to be fast to market and nimble in their product delivery.
The team initially provided agile capability uplift to progressive online companies, and also worked with larger corporates to uplift delivery practices while respecting their organisational constraints. Over time clients began to request additional support in more strategic areas such as innovation and organisational agile transformation.
As agile entered the mainstream, Elabor8 experienced rapid growth and by 2016 had over 100 people on board. Elabor8 was recognised as one of the fastest growing companies in Australia, winning a place on the AFR Fast 100 list five years in a row – a significant achievement for a privately owned startup. With a strong management team in place it was time to introduce new leadership.
While Andrew, Nam and Paul had been growing Elabor8, John had built some of Australia's leading digital teams as Head of Delivery at Jetstar and MYOB, and as CTO of Vicinity Centres. John's record in leading high-performance teams and his experience in modern technology delivery and cloud adoption made him the perfect fit to take Elabor8 forward, and in 2017 he was appointed CEO.
John continues our vision of a modern management consultancy, one that advises its customers on the strategies, structure and capabilities required to compete in this new world. We're proud to be helping leaders build the cultural mindset to achieve real change, and together providing people and teams with the freedom to move that they need to deliver true value to customers.
Our founders and CEO.
Paul Velonis
Organisations succeed when they adopt better ways of working, and I am a champion of new approaches to delivering technology.
Andrew Blain
Flow-based delivery and modern leadership practices have amazing outcomes – not only in results, but also teams that love coming to work.
Nam Huynh
Complex problems can be solved, but they require fit-for-purpose approaches, and are solved best when supported by long term partnerships.
John Sullivan
Innovation happens when teams truly understand and empathise with their clients, and when the people within them feel that they belong.

So, right now while she is napping, I am crafting :) I am a huge "planner"...so making sure every detail of her party is planned is making me go a little crazy...but I'm having a great time!
Let's be clear....I'm not one of those crazy moms ;) I want her party to be special, but I'm not spending a ton of money. I'm excited to get lots of family and friends together to celebrate the birth of one special little girl! She is very lucky to have so many special people in her life that love her times a bazillion :) Her party is going to be a very fun day..I'm very excited!

Is Your State Bicycle-Friendly?
A new report ranks the best and worst places to hop on the saddle
Do you live in the safest or the most dangerous state for riding a bike? The 2017 Bicycle Friendly State Report Card has the answer.
Each year, the League of American Bicyclists, an advocacy group founded in 1880 to improve street conditions for bikers, releases a detailed ranking that cyclists can use to track where it's safe, and not so safe, to hop on wheels. The group also monitors each state's progress toward increased bicycle safety. The rankings are derived from a variety of factors, including five key bicycle-friendly actions, federal data on bicycling conditions, and summaries with feedback on how each state can improve the safety and mobility of bicyclists.
Washington—ranked number one since 2008—has paved the way for safe biking conditions, with $20 million per year in state spending committed to biking and walking projects for the next 16 years. Some of these projects include new roadway crossings, better signage in high traffic areas, and safer bike lanes. The rainy state's plan has a unique component that addresses pooling from stormwater runoff as a danger to bikers and proposes planting rain gardens in stormwater infiltration areas to prevent, treat, and store runoff…
…The state that ranks worst is Nebraska, with a low ridership rate (.5 percent of commuters biking to work) and modest spending on biking and walking ($2.44 per capita). Most notably, Nebraska lacks a statewide bike plan—a key component for state Departments of Transportation if they're to make any real progress for bicycling conditions, according to Ken McLeod, policy director for the League of American Bicyclists and founder of the Bike Friendly State Program…
…The league's goal is not only to educate bikers and pedestrians on the processes by which states create safer conditions and infrastructure to minimize accidents, but also to promote bike culture. "People are seeing the cross benefits of biking not just for transportation, but also for improving health or access to public lands," says McLeod. "It's also a very low-cost means of getting around, which makes providing a good biking network a good solution for areas with high transportation costs."
Between 2012 and 2017, the number of bike riders in the United States increased from 51 million to 66 million—a trend that's likely to continue if states keep bike-safety conditions a priority…

Yet another federal court has rebuffed shareholders
hoping to recover some value from their investments in the government sponsored
enterprises (GSEs) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
A three-judge panel for the Fifth Circuit (Texas) Court of Appeals refused
to stop the practice of net worth sweeps required of the GSEs, but, the
plaintiffs, whether their intention or not, did succeed in getting the
structure of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) ruled unconstitutional.
FHFA v Collins was an appeal of a suit filed by GSE
stockholders J. Patrick
Collins, Marcus J. Liotta, and William M. Hitchcock in October 2016. It was the latest in a long stream of
lawsuits against the government regarding its 2008 seizure of the GSEs. The original suit named FHFA and its current
director Melvin H. Watt and the U.S. Department of the Treasury and then
Secretary Jacob J. Lew as defendants.
The suit
charges that the GSEs were involuntarily and unnecessarily placed in
conservatorship at the beginning of the financial crisis. It alleges that, in 2012 as the GSEs were
becoming profitable, the FHFA director at the time overstepped his authority by
agreeing to revise the original agreement between the GSEs and Treasury. That revision
changed the dividend agreed to by the GSEs in exchange for access to a line of
credit from the Treasury to a net sweep of all GSE net worth into the Treasury
every quarter in perpetuity. Plaintiffs
allege that the change was designed to ensure the companies would never be able
to emerge from conservatorship, and that the government now relies on the sweep
as a major source of revenue.
The Court issued
a bit of a split decision, ruling against plaintiffs on the net worth issue and
in their favor on the constitutional claim. The ruling said that Congress can
create an independent agency as needed, but that it cannot be insulated from
meaningful oversight by the executive branch. Thus FHFA, with a sole director
who can only be removed from the position for cause during his or her term, is
structured in violation of the constitution. However, despite the illegality of
the agency's structure, the lower court's decision to allow the net sweep to
continue was permitted to stand.
The ruling
not only is another blow to GSE shareholders who have brought multiple suits, it
also could have implications for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
(CFPB). Like FHFA, CFPB was established
by the Housing
and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) in response to the financial crisis,
has a single director, and that director
is somewhat protected from executive oversight by a set term. CFPB is also the
subject of suits challenging its legality on those points.

Although two weeks is not a lot of time to prepare for a 5K, it's possible to still get yourself more mentally and physically ready for the race. If you've been exercising a few times a week, take a look at the last two weeks of this 5K Beginner 4-Week Schedule and see if it looks doable to you. And here are some general tips to follow in the next two weeks: 1. Try a Run/Walk Approach in Training and the Race. Many runners are surprised that their pace is actually faster when they take a 30-second walking break every mile, rather than trying to run all the way through. A short walk gives your running muscles a break and can provide a huge mental boost. Try out a run/walk strategy in training, and then use it on race day by walking for 30 seconds when you hit a mile marker. If you don't want to do timed intervals for walk breaks, you can still work them into your races by walking through the water stop or during the uphill portions of the course. 2. Run on the Course Before Race Day. If you're doing a local race, get out there and run parts of the course. You'll feel a lot more mentally prepared knowing what to expect. This is especially important if you typically run on the treadmill -- you'll want to do at least a couple of runs outside leading up to the race. If there's a big hill on the course, run several hill repeats (but not the day before the race!) as a strengthening and confidence-boosting workout. 3. Don't Cram for the Race. Don't try to make up for lost training time by running hard or long every day. You still have time for a couple of long or hard workouts before the race, but make sure they're followed by a rest or easy day so your body has time to recover. You'll only wear yourself out or risk getting injured if you try to run long and hard almost every day leading up to the race. 4. Plan Your Race Outfit. An important rule for racing a 5K (or any race distance, for that matter) is, "Nothing new on race day." Don't plan on wearing your brand-new running shoes or the race shirt you'll get when you pick up your race bib. If you experiment with some "lucky" new clothes or shoes, they might end up feeling uncomfortable and lead to chafing or blistering. Your race day attire should be running shoes, socks, and clothes that you've already run in, so you know what to expect and you don't get any surprises. Make sure you lay your clothes out the night before your race, so you're not scrambling and trying to find your race gear in the morning. 5. Rest the Day Before. No amount of running you do the day before the race will improve your performance. And if you do too much, you'll pay for it on race day when you're feeling tired. So just take it easy so your legs are rested and fresh for the race. You also don't want to do strength-training or any intense workout in the two days before the race, as you'll still probably feel sore on race day. If you're feeling antsy, go for a short walk and do some gentle stretching, but try to resist the temptation to run hard to prove to yourself that you're ready. Was this page helpful?

I was on board Route 7 today and I must say, the word needs to get out.

Take ORF with HRT: Route 7 ORF Airport
Williamsburg Trip
I went to Williamsburg again yesterday and here's my report:
Williamsburg Area Transit Authority launched a new pass program at the beginning of this year and for me, my trips here and there mean my best value is $2 for an All Day Pass. Drivers just had a staff meeting the other day about making time points and, as I was on Orange Line (Train Station / Tam-0-Shanter / Best Buy / Water Country Back Entrance), we sat for several minutes at a couple of points to wait for it to be time to go.
Several of the operators I spoke with were curious about the GoPass365, which I use on my travels, and I explained that basically it's HRT's equivalent of showing a WATA operator your Thomas Nelson or William & Mary ID.
Now, my big big gripe: HRT Route 121 (NNTC / Patrick Henry Mall / Train Station:
There is but one single round trip in the morning, and one single round trip in the afternoon. I boarded the 5 PM trip from WATA Station to head home, and get this
- We left 7 minutes early (4:53 PM instead of the correct 5 PM)
- We left before all WATA buses arrived
Of course I blasted an email off to HRT because I can easily see the run being more popular if it would just wait for the 5 PM WATA lineup and people knew they could depend on the 121 waiting for them.
Passenger count for Route 121:
- 7 on at WATA Station
- 2 off / 8 on at Patrick Henry Mall
Bear in mind that there could've been more if the bus simply waited for it's schedule and allowed all WATA buses to arrive
Welcome Aboard, Mr Harrell
Mr. Harrell, welcome to HRT!! You will find that your city of Chesapeake can stand to benefit from a vastly expanded bus and rail system and I look forward to being able to ride the entire length of Battlefield in the near future. In the immediate future: I look forward to being able to get to/from Chesapeake in the evenings as well as Sundays, and being forced to leave the city by dinner time is not a good quality.

Goodbye Suffolk
Yesterday, I went for a ride with HRT Staff on the final day of HRT operations in Suffolk. Passengers were mostly taking things in stride, and mostly it was a day of saying goodbyes to everyone. Beginning Tuesday (because Monday is a Holiday), Virginia Regional Transit will be taking over Suffolk operations. They will operate Routes 71 and 74 as they were, and is expected to report back with proposals around March or April.
I gave Suffolk Public Works an earful due to the loss of Paul D Camp Community College service, then the HRT staffer explained how the 72 also served a lot of residential that would be losing service as well.
I've used VRT's Mountain Division service plenty of times before and I say: give them a chance to iron the kinks out. Take it in stride, and I will be back in Suffolk to see how VRT is doing.

GoPass 365: Your Questions Answered
I picked up my TCC GoPass today. OFFICIALLY, they start working in January, however, you know I had to test it, so I purchased an All Day Pass when I got on the bus (to keep myself legal) and then inserted my GoPass into the farebox. It works and it works great!!
Now, let me answer your questions:
- Q: Can I use it to ride the local bus?
A: Yes
- Q: Can I Ride the Tide?
A: Yes, absolutely
- Q: How about The MAX?
A: Ye, even The MAX. No having to pay extra either. MAX rides are included with your GoPass!!
- Q: Do I need to show proof of eligibility?
A: Yes. In addition to your GoPass, you must present your ID. Students, this would be your College ID. Employer Passes require that you present your Employer Issued ID.
Now, if only more agencies and employers come on board. If you want to allow your employees or students access to all of HRT's services, please visit the GoPass page (opens in a new tab). Let's get the word out 🙂

[UPDATED] Use HRT to Take ORF (or not)
Update #2: 2:15 PM, Friday, December 16th:
Got an email from the City of Virginia Beach basically stating that Route 7 was news to them – they got the proposal on Wednesday and quickly identified a bus stop in Town Center. It was also news that the route was being put on hold.
Update: 10 AM, Friday December 16th
I smell rubbish. It looks like no Route 7 after all. Someone owes a BIG explanation!! I'm leaving this post up. Shame on EVERYONE who scrapped the launch.
Original Post:
AltDaily has brought to my attention that starting this Sunday: HRT will be introducing Route 7, which will provide service once-hourly between Town Center, Newtown Station, and ORF Airport. Service will be daily 5 AM to 11 PM. I will provide updates as I get them.

ODU Tri-Cities by Bus
I start class at ODU's Tri-Cities building for Spring Semester (it is a TCC class that is hosted on ODU property), so today, I took the bus there to gage the travel time
- It is 2.5 hours away, including a ride on Route 800
- My biggest complaint would be the lack of an inbound bus stop at Town Point Rd & Prices Fork Blvd on Route 47
- The 47 should be rerouted down Prices Fork to University to College to serve the facility (sort of like taking the 14 to Grassfields Walmart)
Those of you who know me: I am not looking forward to riding the 25 from TCC 😦

Take a Ride on The Tide
I'm BACK and I finally got to Ride the Tide for the first time. I come from riding Sound Transit Link Light Rail, so I do have expectations of what service should be and what should not be done. So far, it's a start (but that was the plan all along: The Tide is the start of something bigger).
People who use it, are happily using it, and I'm seeing plenty of bus-train connections being made at Newtown Station (I personally did bus to train connections at these stations: Military Hwy, Newtown, Ft Norfolk/EVMC, Monticello*, and MacArthur Square*).
The ride was rather smooth as promised, and does make the commute much faster. What used to be a 90 minute bus ride from TCC Virginia Beach is now a 20 minute bus ride to Newtown Station + a 20 minute train ride into Downtown Norfolk (MacArthur Square Station). I used to have to be on the 5:15 PM bus to get home on the last bus, but now I can stay until the 8:52 PM train from Downtown. Yes, a vast improvement. I am glad to be home 🙂
* Officially, buses don't connect here, but they are close enough to Route 17. MacArthur Square could use a bus stop on City Hall Ave for several routes that go right past.

Operator Professionalism: My Compliments
I was on the 20 heading towards the Beach, and arrived at Pembroke Mall at 8:21 PM, roughly on schedule so I could get that 36 home.
As we were coming around the Corporation Lane loop, someone in the back of the bus broke wind and it wasn't long until the awful smell made its way to the front of the bus, causing the entire bus to be in uproar!
Throughout the entire incident, the operator stayed calm and professional. My compliments to the operator.

To say that my 4 year-old son is a picky eater is a bit of an understatement. Just when I'm sure I've got his likes and dislikes figured out, he changes them. Last week, he loved baked salmon. This week I get, "Mommy, you know I don't eat salmon." Nope, news to me. I will never, never be a parent who short-order cooks to their children's whims for food. I always encourage tasting and trying new things. And, so often it takes presenting and trying the same food several times before he comes around to it. But, I do enjoy making the occasional kid-friendly treat that isn't a fight at all to get him to eat. These little chicky nuggets are choice #1.
I can't say enough good things about this simple little recipe. They truly are so much like having the real thing right in your own kitchen.
It's not necessary to cook these in a deep fryer, but after trying them in a pan on the stovetop and in the deep fryer I've got to go with the deep fryer every time. I know it sounds strange, but because of the constant temperature they cook so much faster and more evenly. They are less greasy, too.
Chick-Fil-Aish Nuggets
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 1/4 cups flour
2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
peanut or canola oil (for frying)
1. Whisk together the egg and milk in a bowl. Cut up and trim any fat from the chicken. Place chicken in milk mixture and cover. Let it marinate for 2 hours in the fridge.
2. In a gallon size resealable bag, combine the flour, sugar, salt and pepper. Seal the bag and give it a few shakes to combine.
3. Prepare a deep fryer with oil and heat to 375 degrees. If you are using a pan, fill with 2 inches of oil and heat on medium-high until it sizzles when a drop of water is dropped in.
4. Use tongs to drop 6-8 nuggets into the oil and cook until golden brown, turning halfway through, about 1 1/2 minutes each side. Cook for 4 minutes in a deep fryer. Always check to make sure that your chicken is cook through and is not pink by making a small cut in the meal.
5. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Repeat until all nuggets are cooked.
For a delicious dipping sauce, combine equal parts yellow mustard and honey. Drop in a few drops of hot sauce for an extra kick.

O'Fallon Progress
Board paves the way for more trails in Shiloh
O'Fallon-Shiloh EMS Explorers Post 1700 visits Shiloh Village Board
Village of Shiloh Board of Trustees voted to move forward with enhancements to two park trails, a park restroom and a parking lot at its meeting Wednesday night, July 5.
Trustees passed the use of tax increment finance (TIF) for the second phase of improvements Seibert Road Pedestrian and Bike Trail.
The project will allow pedestrians and cyclists to be safe while being active on a trail rather than on the winding roadway, John Marquart, village administrator, said.
"On Diamond Court, behind next to village hall, has some sidewalks that are in pretty bad shape, and we will be also be replacing some of the sidewalk, too. This has been a long time coming, and we plan to begin as soon as possible," Marquart said.
Cost of engineering design by Horner and Shifrin is not to exceed $104,000.
"(It's) one engineer for the two phases, but we don't know the actual cost of construction until we go out for bids," he said.
TIFF B's balance is $530,760, according to Bill Boker, village treasurer.
The board also approved using Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) money to pay for land acquisition services on the Shiloh-Scott Air Force Base Pedestrian Bike Trail, which eventually will link up with the Seibert Road trail.
"The two trails are really all one big trail, but because the application process happened years ago, and with the various funding sources, the name of the trail changed, but essentially they are one in the same," Marquart said.
When both are completed, the two trails will be about 8/10 of a mile from the area of Diamond Court to Southridge Drive, and then to Johnson Road.
Before construction can begin, easements must be obtained for several properties. Belleville-based Volkert Inc. was approved to carry out right-of-way acquisition services, not to exceed $24,940.
New ADA-compliant ramps will be included along the multi-use path, which will be up to 10 feet wide.
Three Springs restroom
The board approved the use of TIF A funds for the last leg of work to be completed in the one of the two restrooms at Three Springs Park.
The project is not to exceed $65,000 for the internal plumbing and finishing work, which Marquart said should be complete within a week or sooner. R&W Builders will be the contractor.
The finish date was to be July 6, but Marquart said technical issues delayed the project a few days.
"We ran into some issues with getting the meter from Ameren and how to get the water line from the edge of the parking lot to the building, but we were able to do so without breaking up any of the pavement," Marquart said.
Boker said the TIF A balance is $271,146.
Village parking lot
Trustees awarded Gleeson Asphalt Inc., lowest of five bidders, the project bid for the municipal parking lot area that allows access and parking to Village Hall, the Shiloh Senior Center, Klucker Hall, and Community Park, including the pavilions, baseball diamond and playground equipment.
The project cost is not to exceed $240,879.50. Work will include:
- repaving the upper and southerly parking lots;
- installation of storm sewer structures and pipe;
- concrete curbing near the baseball field to assist with drainage issues;
- site lighting and seeding; and
- a 10-foot wide asphalt bike path parallel to the southerly parking lot to give access to the existing pavement near Shiloh Elementary School.
"Our goal is to get the work started as soon as possible, within the week, and finish before school begins," Marquart said.
The current project budget includes a total of $80,000 of park and tourism funds and the remainder to come from TIF B, not to exceed $160,879.50.
Thouvenot, Wade and Moerchen Inc. completed the engineering design services for $10,500.
Other Business
▪ Solicitor permits for Michael Staley, of Edward Jones, and Mihkel Annilo, of Southwestern Advantage, were approved.
▪ A Prevailing Wage resolution passed.
▪ Installation of five new street lights in the Villages at Wingate subdivision was approved.
▪ July bills were authorized for payment.
▪ June 5 meeting minutes were approved.
▪ May's treasurer's report passed.

Memorial Day isn't just about honoring veterans, its honoring those who lost their lives. Veterans had the fortune of coming home. For us, that's a reminder of when we come home we still have a responsibility to serve. It's a continuation of service that honors our country and those who fell defending it.
In the 360-degree battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, women have served honorably and fought valiantly. Yet there is a key difference between being in harm's way and reacting to enemy contact, and being in a direct combat operations role day in and day out. They are different scenarios that require different standards.
Defense leaders should be searching for ways to reform out-of-date procurement processes, to collapse layers of Pentagon bureaucracy, and to restrain the growth in personnel and benefits costs. A critical first step in that process should be to conduct a full Pentagon audit to determine how DOD spends taxpayer dollars.
As an observer, I react to the realities of Israeli life with both envy and relief. Nobody wants to live under the threat of constant attack from enemies right next door, under ceaseless and often unfair international scrutiny, defending his homeland by day and living with the memories of mass genocide at night.
Military deployments have never been something to enjoy, but the consequence of the actions, the shared nature of the sacrifices, and the nobility of the cause are invigorating. To be clear, I'm not talking about the killing and the death; rather, the sense of purpose that pervades every action, reaction, and outcome.

Athens, Jun 19 (Prensa Latina) Greek Prime Minister Yorgos Papandreu warned Sunday against the consequences of an possible "disordered bankruptcy" for the credibility of Greece and its banks.
Papandreu asked the parliament to support his unpopular plan of additional budget cuts, after warning that the country was at a critical crossroads and bankruptcy would cause a catastrophe.
"Divisions do not help," the prime minister repeated, calling on the Greek people to be united and accept the austerity measures demanded by the European Union (EU) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Papandreu, whose administration will be a parliamentary confidence vote, which he himself requested, defended the intervention of the EU and the IMF in Greece's economic recovery.
Without the assistance of those two organizations, the country's cash reserves would be exhausted soon and Greece has no alternative but to accept the severe measures in exchange for financial assistance, he said.
The new austerity package will lead to more privatization and unemployment and higher taxes, and has been widely rejected by Greek trade unions and political forces.

One week after the election, Measure H in Beverly Hills is still too close to call. The Beverly Hilton Redevelopment Project is losing by just nine votes, with more than 1,700 ballots left to be counted.
Measure H would allow a new luxury hotel, The Waldorf Astoria, to be built at the intersection of Wilshire and Santa Monica Boulevards. Two condominium buildings, housing more than 100 condos would also go up at the site. The project was approved by the Beverly Hills City Council in the spring, but residents opposed to the project gathered enough signatures to place it on the November 4th ballot.
More than 13,000 ballots have been counted so far, but by state law, provisional ballots and vote by mail ballots dropped off at polling places must be counted by hand after signatures and addresses are verified. That is why the final count has yet to be tabulated.
Those in favor of Measure H say it will bring additional revenue to the city in the form of hotel room taxes, increased property, business and sales taxes and a $10.2 million cash contribution from the developer. Those opposed say increased revenue could just as easily be generated from a much smaller boutique hotel and the large size of the project will generate too much traffic in the area.

U.S. Department of State Form 062236394652,
Notice of Prize: U.S. Citizenship.
Odds of winning: 50,000 out of 6.4 million.
Notice of Prize: U.S. Citizenship.
Odds of winning: 50,000 out of 6.4 million.
The New York Daily News, a trashy tabloid, carries an "Immigration Advice" column in its print edition (no link that I could find). According to the December 28 column:
The U.S. Department of State reported that it received more than 6.4 million entries for the 50,000 visas available through [the] 2008 Diversity Visa Lottery. … Adding entrants' family members, more than 10 million people are trying to get permanent residence through this year's lottery. The largest number of applicants were from Bangladesh (more than 1.7 million applicants), followed by Nigeria (684,735) and Ukraine (619,584).In other words, the U.S. government believes the country is so lacking in diversity that it must hand out 50,000 "citizenships" plus thousands of additional "citizenships" for the lucky winners' families every year. I put "citizenships" in quotes because using this terminology turns the very concept of citizenship into a joke: a lottery prize, based on nothing whatever except the desire of millions of people deemed sufficiently diverse to come soak up whatever they can from the legacy of wealth created by earlier generations of Americans. It's a better deal than an Irish Sweepstakes ticket, which you have to pay for (and pay taxes on your winnings).
When I was in New York last week, I rode the city buses and subways. Of the conversations I overheard, perhaps one of five was in English. True, some of the people I heard may have been tourists from non-English speaking countries, but it cuts both ways: some of the English speakers might have been English-speaking, or English-as-a-second-language-speaking, American tourists.
But maybe Bangladeshis, Nigerians, and Ukranians were, as the liberal quota hawks like to say, "underrepresented" in the subway crush. So, based on the logic of social engineering, we must hand out "citizenship" so that every nationality is found in the United States in strict proportion to its percentage of the world population. If, let us say, Madagascar has 0.35 percent of the people on earth, we must send out a dragnet to bring in enough Madagascarans to make them 0.35 percent of the United States population.
A few dozen more Diversity Visa Lotteries and the quaintly termed United States will be … wait for it … the whole world in microcosm! We are the world! All we need to add to the mix is to lure Kofi Annan out of retirement (we can easily offer him a rakeoff to top what he skimmed from UN programs) as our leader, with a few dozen old Brussels hands to write our laws, triple the number of government agencies and quangos, and Heaven on Earth is ours.
Play the planetary lottery. You could win a country as a prize. Hey, you never know.

Tracks of the month – January 2015
Instead of writing about my ten favourite records this month, I have decided to review just one.
The film 'Selma' and Brian Jackson live: a review
Martin Luther King and his supporters fought a titanic battle for suffrage in Selma, Alabama. Brian Jackson was Gil Scott-Heron's writing partner and pianist. Together they produced some of the most insightful music of the 1970s. Here, Nick Grant reviews the new film Selma and Brian Jackson's gig in London.
Greece: stunning victory for radical left Syriza, but fascist vote holds up
Here is a result to cheer the left across Europe and beyond. Voters have given the radical left Syriza victory in Greece's parliamentary elections. Syriza has won, and won handsomely.
The Damned: Neat Neat Neat
In the first of an occasional series, Hassan Mahamdallie, a bored teenager growing up in 1970s south west London, delves into his box of punk and New Wave singles and takes us on a personal, musical, cultural and political journey.
Some dangers with the 'Je suis Charlie' movement
Four million people marched across France yesterday in the wake of the attacks on the Charlie Hebdo magazine and a kosher supermarket that left 17 people dead. The Unity march was, according to some, the biggest demonstration since the Liberation of Paris in August 1944.

Internet Privacy Effort In Flux At Minnesota Legislature
By Kyle Potter, Star Tribune
"ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota lawmakers' attempts to safeguard residents' internet privacy are in limbo.
Long-simmering privacy concerns about personal information and browsing history bubbled up across the nation after Congress moved to loosen regulations that could potentially allow internet providers to sell customers' data. The House and Senate voted overwhelmingly earlier this session to bar that data collection in separate bills."

Tune in every Thursday at 9 p.m. EST for The List with Colleen Lopez and join us on Pinterest to pin your favorite fashion, shoes, and accessories from the show!
As much as we've planned and looked forward to dolling up for every holiday affair, let's get real, we're also excited about the post-holiday lounging. After all that hustle and bustle we'll be ready for a long winter's nap or at the very least some days solely dedicated to relaxing at home or outdoors in comfy clothes. We'll be trading out our all-sequin-everything ensembles for some classic cotton and knit pieces that are the best balance between comfort and style. Explore our closet picks for post-holiday loungewear ideas!
1. A Stretch Fit Necessity
A well-fitted pair of jeans just makes us feel more confident and sexy. No wonder that denim jeans have been one of the longest-lived styles across the decades. For this time of the year we definitely love the slenderizing look of DG2's stretch fit jeans and jeggings. For a post holiday feast the SuperStretch Denim Comfort Waist Jegging in Chambray keeps us comfortable and in style. Try pairing chambray with a fun print like polka dots or do denim on denim in two different shades for a chic look.
2. The Chameleon Sweater Coat
We'll be ready to let our brains take a breather after the holidays. No need to worry about matching separates or even accessorizing with the Eureka by Christos Garkinos Funnel Neck Sweater Coat. This long coat can be worn as a dress with leggings for an easy look or put over jeans and blouse for a quick outfit on a night out. The best part about this chunky knit coat is its intricate eyelet pattern that gives this simple piece of outerwear a more sophisticated impression–it can adapt to whatever our need might be!
3. A Staple, Black Sweater
Everyone has a LBD for the holidays but it's just as important to have a signature black sweater for our loungewear looks. Black makes even the most simple of outfits feel refined and when you add accessories you can take a day look to night in no time. We love the MarlaWynne Cowl Neck Drawstring Top for its unique details that make this pullover look prim even when we're off duty and enjoying leftovers on the couch.
4. The Breezy Ripple Top
Around the holidays some people like to let loose. We suggest doing so in fashion. Maxi skirts, kimono jackets, and flared blouses give energy to our outfits with the texture and motion they create, and bonus, they're super comfortable! The MarlaWynne Ripple Easy Shirt in white creates a classic and clean look that is softened and pretty with its flared bodice fit. Pair it with black jeggings for a fool-proof look.
5. A Woven Knit Jogger
Sweatpants might not be the most couture look but joggers are another story. Joggers give us a breathable bottom that looks fantastic paired with high accessories like jewelry and heels, or low pieces like athletic shoes and graphic tees. The MarlaWynne Slouchy Pants gives us an elastic waistband for maximum versatility and a woven knit fabric for a sleek outfit. Create a cohesive look by balancing the proportions and loose fit of these bottoms with a fitted tank or long sleeve layer.
What's your classic post-holiday loungewear outfit for staying home and going out?

Health Canada has approved early clinical trials of dandelion extract to see if it can be used to kill cancer.
The approval is for a phase one — or toxicology — trial. It will determine whether the body can tolerate the dandelion extract and, if it can, how much of the extract the human body can tolerate.
Phase one trials do not reveal whether the substance being tested has a medicinal effect.

The teas are amazing! Thanks for introducing me to them. They are delicious!
(NaturalNews) Certain bitter herbs are considered liver herbs because they stimulate, cleanse, and protect the liver and gall bladder. While Western palates are not fond of bitter tasting foods, they do stimulate and support digestion. German research shows that bitter tonic herbs stimulate bile and hydrochloric acid production. They stimulate nervous system and immune system function, as well as combat fatigue and exhaustion.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has
recently commenced a new assault against the dietary supplement industry
– one that could threaten the availability of supplements currently on
the market and that will discourage manufacturers from innovating new
and more beneficial products in the future. In July the agency issued a
draft Guidance document which sets forth its current thinking
concerning provisions of the law that dictate what ingredients can be
included in dietary supplement products, and what information companies
must submit to the FDA if they desire to market a supplement that
contains a new dietary ingredient (i.e., one that was not sold prior to
October 15, 1994).
The FDA's draft Guidance ignores the intent of Congress by seeking to
impose insurmountable obstacles to the introduction of new dietary
ingredients and includes interpretations that will threaten the
continued sale of supplements if even the most minute of changes are
made. If the Guideline is finalized and enforced by the FDA it will go a
long way towards establishing the agency's long-standing goal of
requiring pre-market approval for dietary supplements.
The following are a few highlights of the Guidance document:
Just before
the July 4 holiday weekend, hoping to limit media attention, the FDA
dropped a bomb on dietary supplements. Don't let them get away with it! A new Action Alert.
On July 1, the US Food and Drug Administration issued draft guidance for complying with the New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) notification protocols
contained in the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA).
Ever since DSHEA was enacted in 1994, supplement manufacturers have had
very little guidance on what counts as an NDI and when or how to send an
NDI notification. The government has arbitrarily ignored or enforced
this section of DSHEA, doing as it liked, without spelling out the
Why does this
matter? Because when you hear New Dietary Ingredient (NDI), substitute
"New Supplement" in your mind. What we are dealing with here is whether
the supplement industry is allowed to innovate and create new
supplements—and if so, under what rules.
(NaturalNews) Live in Europe? Get your herbs while they last. New rules put forth by the European Union (EU) will ban the sale of certain herbal remedies that have been used for centuries.
Traditional herbs such a St. John's Wort or Echinacea must now meet strict licensing guidelines in order to be sold, while other lesser-known herbs that haven't been "traditionally" used in the last 30 years won't even make the cut to reach consumer shelves. Only those products that have been "assessed" by the Medicine and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) will be available for purchase. The real kicker? Even approved products will only be recommended for minor ailments such as the common cold, which means that product labeling may no longer be allowed to convey the potent health benefits of widely-used herbal remedies.
According the the EU, the laws were put in place to protect consumers from the "damaging" effects of traditional herbal remedies. The subtext of that statement, of course, is that herbal remedies can sometimes have dangerous interactions when taken with prescription drugs. Used alone, however, herbal supplements rarely pose a problem. With so many people taking prescription drugs, it's clear that the EU's move to ban herbal products is a monopolistic attack on the alternative health movement. While they can't admit the dangerous and deadly side effects of manufactured drugs, they can shift the blame to herbs.

Water Conservation and Residential Landscapes: Household Preferences, Household Choices
Hurd, Brian H., Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics
Communities throughout the Western United States are challenged by tight water supplies and swelling populations. Information is needed to better develop and target municipal water conservation programs. Significant water savings ranging from 35% to 70% are possible from changes in residential landscaping and improved management of outside watering, which often accounts for more than 50% of total residential water use. This study examines landscape choices of homeowners in three cities in New Mexico in order to identify and measure behavioral factors affecting water conservation. Using survey data, landscape choices are analyzed with a mixed logit model that assesses the effects of landscape and homeowner characteristics on choice probabilities. Model coefficients and implied elasticities indicate that water cost, education, and regional culture are significant determinants of landscape choice. In addition, the results suggest moral suasion can also have a positive influence toward water-conserving landscapes.
Key words: discrete choice, landscape preferences, New Mexico water, residential landscape, water conservation, water conservation programs, water savings
Water conservation is a prominent issue challenging communities throughout the Western United States. States and local governments are grappling with the design and development of water conservation plans and strategies that will permit continued economic development in the face of limited and, in some cases, dwindling water resources. In the New Mexico State Water Plan, for example, it states:
The Office of the State Engineer will encourage local governments and water providers to develop and implement comprehensive water conservation plans and will recommend that a water conservation plan be required in any application for State financial assistance for water development infrastructure (New Mexico Office of the State Engineer, Interstate Stream Commission, 2003).
Similar laws exist in other states, such as Colorado (Colorado Water Conservation Board, 2005).
As public resources are directed into water conservation programs, local governments and utility managers are concerned about program effectiveness and the means to measure program outcomes and performance. Assessments of public attitudes and behavioral changes can provide both quantitative and qualitative measures of the impacts of water conservation programs and their effectiveness. A key challenge, therefore, is designing an approach and instrument to measure such changes and to track responses as water conservation programs develop and mature.
At its core, water conservation combines awareness of water sources and services and an understanding of how behavioral changes can enhance the value of these services. Central to the problem of designing effective water conservation programs-and hence to long-term planning of urban water resources-is the question of how responsive individuals and households are to various types of water conservation incentives. Allowing for heterogeneity, the question is also how households with certain characteristics are responsive to program characteristics and incentives.
This study uses data collected in 2004 from a mail survey of homeowners in three New Mexico cities who provided responses indicating their attitudes toward landscape and water use (Kurd and Smith, 2005). The survey and data are briefly summarized and are then used in a discrete choice, random utility model in order to measure the sensitivity and responsiveness of landscape choices to changes in conservation program incentives such as water price and moral suasion, and to examine how these responses differ with changes in individual and household characteristics.
Water Conservation and Landscape Choice
Residential demand for water is growing rapidly throughout the West and is creating pressure for new sources of domestic water supplies. …
