Call it my obsession, but I've been following the Mike Tyson tattoo copyright (almost as intensely as Beyonce's career) because of its potential impact on the rights of tattooists to defend their art from others who wish to profit from it.
For background, see my first post on it (with some general copyright info) here and the update here.
This post looks like my final update on the case because, yesterday, The Hollywood Reporter published the news that a settlement had been reached between Missouri tattooist, S. Victor Whitmill, and Warner Bros. Whitmill sued Warner Bros. for copyright infringement over its use of his facial tattoo design for Mike Tyson, which was prominent in The Hangover II film. The article stated:
The settlement was no surprise. As I predicted in my posts, these type of cases do tend to settle, and it was pretty clear that Warner Bros. would throw Whitman some money after the judge hearing the case had said that Whitmill had a "strong likelihood of prevailing on the merits for copyright infringement" and that most of the arguments put forward by Warner Bros. were "just silly."
While I'm happy that tattoo artists' rights to their designs were recognized, the tattoo law nerd in me wished that this case had been decided to finally see how the courts would rule on the issue.
Again, I fully believe in a balancing of these rights between client and artist -- or have those rights hammered out in advance between them, especially with celebrities -- but in this case, Tyson himself was not at issue. It was Warner Bros. use of the design in the films, ads, and to-be-released DVD.
Will post a link to this post soon on our Facebook page to get your thoughts.

My Solution For Spring Allergies
My father's pollen allergies (hay fever) were so bad that our family had to move to a different state when I was young. My mother also has terrible pollen allergies. Other relatives on both sides of the family have very bad spring allergies. My uncle cannot even go outside without a HEPA mask over his nose and mouth sealed with vaseline! Obviously, it was in the cards for me to have pollen allergies. My worst allergy seems to be oak pollen.
Exercise and Glaucoma: Weight Lifting
I have never seen a single resource that recommends weight lifting as a means of lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). In fact, I think the conventional wisdom is that weight lifting would not be the right kind of activity to engage in for someone with elevated IOP or glaucoma.
One way to categorize exercise is as either aerobic or anaerobic. Weight lifting is usually anaerobic. Therefore, when one reads a statement such as "while studies show that aerobic exercise can lower intraocular pressure, other forms of exercise can increase pressure", one naturally concludes that weight lifting will raise IOP.
On the Commonly Asked Questions page at Glaucoma Associates of New York, they address the issue of exercise and IOP or glaucoma in two questions. Both repeat the exhortation that aerobic exercise lowers IOP and non-aerobic exercise raises IOP. Here are those two items:
Ghee Comparison Table
Comparison of ghee products for quality and price
This article was updated January 1, 2009. Please make your browser window wide to see the full table.
Ghee is very important in regard to free radicals, health and longevity. I will write more about that in another post. For now, I'l just say that ghee is more than an indulgence. In a healthy vegetarian diet, ghee can be viewed as an essential vitamin supplement (albeit, one that tastes really good). In this post I want to take a look at the products that represent the best value and I want to compare quality. Ghee is so important as an addition to the diet that quality should not be sacrificed -- especially because only a very small amount of ghee needs to be used.
Think Your Food's Organic? Think Again
When it comes to a healthy diet, I am not a purist. Too late for that because I grew up eating such culinary concoctions as toasted sandwiches constructed of Spam, white bread and that oddly orange, oddly spongy cheeselike stuff known as Velveeta.
As an adult, I even have been irresponsible enough to serve as a taster, judge and promoter of Spam creations that were served at a now-defunct annual event held in my town of Austin, Texas. Called "Spamarama," the festival featured unspeakable and (often unswallowable) dishes made from the gelatinous, pink potted meat, including -- get ready to gag -- Spam ice cream.

Is Yellow Dal (Split Mung Bean) Safe? Part Two
Part One of the Article, Is Yellow Dal Safe?, can be found at this link: http://freeradicalfederation.com/IsYellowDalSafe
In this part I want to show photographs of what I feel is strong evidence that some kind of coloring is added to the yellow dal commonly sold in Indian food stores. I compared a sample of certified organic yellow dal with a sample of standard yellow dal.
I rinsed both samples the same way and I took photographs of the water used to rinse the dal. If you are keeping up with the news about food safety and healthy foods, you are aware that foods are sometimes artifically colored while the manufacturers claim that they are not adding any coloring. The recent USA Today article says,
When Consumer Reports tested 23 supposedly wild-caught salmon fillets bought nationwide in 2005-2006, only 10 were wild salmon. The rest were farmed. Farmed salmon gets its coloring from dyes added to food pellets the fish are fed, while wild salmon gets it from the plankton they eat. "When you cook it, the wild salmon retains its color, and in the aquaculture salmon, the color tends to leak out," she says. Suspicious consumers can call the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Nutrition hotline at 1-888-SAFEFOOD.
Using that same logic I compared these two samples of yellow dal, one organic and one from my local Indian store. These photos show that the non-organic dal is a brighter yellow in the package. And I was shocked to see the amount of color that comes out in the water after rinsing this dal. In my mind, there is no way the bright yellow color of this water is natural. The yellow dal manufacturers's may deny that they are adding coloring to the dal, but I think these photos are proof that they are indeed doctoring the food.

We would like to congratulate all of our volunteers across the AlMaghrib World for genuinely showing the needy in their communities how much we care for our collective welfare. The feedback was amazing, we really did make an IMPACT together!
CTV Windsor had this to report:
There was so much great work done across the cities, it's difficult to collate it all here whether it was the awesome team in Calgary, or the guys in Dublin, Ireland with an excellent log of their work, then the team in Charlotte (with an internal men and women competition!), or the team in California. Toronto were competing with the other Canadian cities for who could make the biggest impact, Melbourne showed their experience, and what about Minnesota? Amazing feedback in Qabeelat Madinatayn – but they had serious competition from London, and then their neighbours in Bristol and then thousands of miles away in Kuala Lumpur as usual! There's just so much to report back but see the full array of videos and photos on the AlMaghrib Impact Facebook Page.
Here is a small selection of photos to boost your Iman levels, alhamdulillah!
The Calgary chapter served close to 3000 meals (!)
The Toronto team pulled out all the stops!
The folks in Melbourne served up a real treat in conjunction with Youth Projects and FreshPlus.
The Kuala Lumpur Chapter proving as usual that excellence is a habit, a great effort from a huge volunteer team ma sha Allah.
Choosing a park in London, UK was an excellent idea for Qabeelat Shams where they gave out not just food but clothes, shows, toys, and much more! Make sure you click on the links above to see more…
Our Sweden team really took to the streets, feeding hundreds who didn't find their way to the centre…
Few do local community work as good as our Melbourne team. True champions, and so cool too!

The title of Frightened Rabbit's fourth full-length release, Pedestrian Verse, is taken from a line in "State Hospital", the eponymous track from their recent EP. The woeful protagonist, victim of misbegotten beginnings and unfulfilled sexual escapades (sound familiar?) is described as "a slipped disc in the spine of community / a bloody curse word in a pedestrian verse"; reduced to a mere profanity, she lacks even the dignity of being offensive in a noble setting. A "pedestrian verse" is an average one: normal, everyday, unremarkable. It takes a bold sort of self-deprecation to use that as an album title.
That theme runs through Pedestrian Verse, though ironically set to a richer variety of sounds than the band has ever presented before. While breakout 2007 release The Midnight Organ Fight remains possibly the greatest bitter-single-person album of all time, the tightly constrained rhythms and miserable lyrics that make the tracks catchy are also what make the album something of a downer. Much of follow-up The Winter of Mixed Drinks follows a similar formula. But there's only so much you can achieve within such a specific frame, and so Pedestrian Verse finds Frightened Rabbit doing what every band strives for: truly evolving (here by experimenting with tone, pacing, and subject matter), all while preserving their musical strengths (chiefly, Scott Hutchison's clever lyrics and thick, deliciously accented vocals). Here, finally, is a Frightened Rabbit for all seasons: warm, buzzy tracks intersect with quieter, calmer numbers, and a few touches of the old acidic sadness, all tied together into a multi-dimensional package.
Though dreary, "State Hospital" maintains a squeak of optimism ("All is not lost," wails Hutchison at the end). Similarly effective is "The Woodpile", whose protagonist begs to be found. "Won't you come and break down this door?" he pleads, adding hope that you "come find me now, where I hide / and we'll speak in our secret tongues." This simple, deeply human desire for understanding has its limits though, as seen in "Housing (In)": "You can't carry me away now / I have just laid my head down," a plea for space that comes just three tracks after the burning desire for contact. Even longed-for connections have their difficulties, built as they are between inherently flawed humans, and branching out to explore both sides of the conflict displays a serious lyrical maturity.
Musically, the tracks still bend around Hutchison's heartbreaker of a Scottish accent, and in doing so they preserve the "Frightened Rabbit sound." That said, Pedestrian Verse shakes up tone and rhythm more than any of the band's previous records. Tracks like "Late March, Death March" use the original formula, but alter the key to avoid repetition, and "Housing (Out)" replaces the whole equation with thick fuzz, glowing back-up vocals, and revival-tent percussion, lending the brief number an incandescent warmth.
That track leads the transition into "Oil Slick", which coalesces the album's sense of longing and self-deprecation. "Only an idiot would swim through the shit I write," opines Hutchison. "How can I talk of light and warmth? / I've got a voice like a gutter in a toxic storm." Not content to tear apart the present, the lyricist takes aim at the band's previous work over a rise-and-fall backing chorus: "I came home with four worn-out limbs and not one love song / how predictable this is all you got / yet another selfish signpost to my ruin of faults."
But Frightened Rabbit's so-called faults — the band's self-indulgent lyrics, indie-rock styling, damned catchy choruses — have always been their strengths as well, and the band must know it. It takes a perversely honest musician to admit his own flaws, and as Frightened Rabbit 'fesses up, we love them more. Would that we could all see as clearly, that we could downplay something as precious as Hutchison's voice, as he does here, rather than preening. Would that we could find our faults, and in finding, possibly correct them — developing ourselves rather than sinking further into self-indulgence. "There is light but there's a tunnel to crawl through… / we've still got hope so I think we'll be fine," Hutchison soothes, birds chirping of spring and healing in the background. Indeed, would that we all had the audacity to call our own master works "pedestrian."

Detroit - The man charged with fixing Detroit's faltering finances has been hit with four liens in four years from the state of Maryland for unpaid taxes, records show.
State records show Kevyn D. Orr, who was appointed emergency manager on Thursday, has two outstanding liens on his $1 million home in Chevy Chase, Md., for $16,000 in unemployment taxes in 2010 and 2011. Two other liens of more than $16,000 in unemployment and income taxes were satisfied in 2010 and 2011, records show.
Orr said he didn't know anything about the liens when shown records of them Friday morning by The Detroit News.
"I don't know what they are," Orr said, as his new boss, Gov. Rick Snyder, sat next to him in The News' offices. "That's surprising to me, to be honest."
Late afternoon, a spokeswoman for Snyder - who appointed Orr to the $275,000 per year post Thursday - said Orr spent the day researching the issue and would pay "in full ASAP." The Washington, D.C., bankruptcy attorney blamed the problems on an outside accountant hired to file his tax returns, said Sara Wurfel, a Snyder spokeswoman.
"There was apparently an oversight related to a childcare provider unemployment insurance payment," Wurfel wrote in an email. "Immediately upon learning of the potential issue just today, he took action at once to look into and resolve with the state of Maryland."
She said Snyder's office wasn't aware of the liens until The News asked about them.
"It did not come up in any of the vetting," Wurfel said.
Critics of the emergency manager said the liens are troubling, since Orr is tasked with improving tax collections. The Detroit News reported last month that only 53 percent of homeowners paid property taxes last year, leaving $246.5 million uncollected for Detroit and other governments. City records estimate that, in 2011, Detroit collected $32 million less in income taxes than it was owed.
"It's quite interesting that he feels he could manage the city of Detroit and he's having trouble managing his own affairs," said the Rev. Charles E. Williams II, president of the National Action Network of Michigan that is fighting the appointment.
"This proves the point that people aren't perfect and democracy isn't perfect. But our community is sticking with democracy and will continue to fight this."
Another opponent of the emergency manager, state Rep. Fred Durhal, D-Detroit, said tax problems aren't a big deal if Orr pays up.
"As long as he takes care of it, it's not an issue. I just hope he doesn't forget to collect our taxes," said Durhal, a candidate for mayor.
Maryland is aggressive about placing liens on property during tax disputes, said Glen Frost, a Columbia, Md., tax attorney.
The liens place claims on property that have to be satisfied before the property can be sold, he said, adding that in rare instances governments can foreclose on egregious cases.
Records show Maryland has hit Orr with a lien per year from 2009-12.
A lien for $7,022 in unemployment taxes for the 2008 tax year was entered on July 17, 2009, and satisfied on Aug. 20, 2010. Another for $9,409 in income taxes for the 2008 tax year against Orr and his wife, Dr. Donna Neale, was entered on Aug. 11, 2010, and satisfied on Oct. 3, 2011.
Two other liens over unemployment taxes - $6,985 for the 2010 tax year and $9,201 for the 2010-11 tax years - are outstanding, said Frost, who reviewed the records.
Frost and another Maryland tax attorney, Jeffrey Katz, disagreed on whether it's common for subjects of liens to not know about them. Frost said Maryland typically sends separate warning and notification letters about liens. Katz said many who are hit with them don't know liens were placed until they try to renew driver's licenses and learn about them.
Katz and Frost agreed that Maryland is zealous about tax collection and its use of liens.
Katz said the state once sent him two certified letters demanding payment for $9.47 in unemployment taxes for a temporary staffer who worked two days moving boxes.

Natural and unnatural synergies: climate change policy and health equity
Sarah Catherine WalpoleI; Kumanan RasanathanI, *; Diarmid Campbell-LendrumII
IDepartment of Ethics, Equity, Trade and Human Rights, World Health Organization, 20 avenue Appia, 1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland
IIDepartment of Public Health and Environment, World Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland
Climate change and health inequities represent two of the greatest challenges to human development in the 21st century. As the Copenhagen summit on climate change planned for December 2009 approaches, there are opportunities to use the political momentum of climate change to promote health equity. The broad-ranging policies required to address climate change have both positive and negative implications for health and health equity.1,2 Similarly, interventions to reduce health gaps will not necessarily help stabilize the climate. Poorly designed policies could easily undermine both climate and health equity goals, and reduce public support for their implementation. This paper reviews the potential tensions between climate stabilization and improving health equity and discusses how these might be resolved.
The impact of climate change on health equity
Climate change has major repercussions for the social determinants of health people's daily living conditions and their access to money, power and resources are strongly influenced by political, economic, environmental, cultural and social factors.2 Inequalities in these determinants are the major cause of health inequities.
By acting on these social determinants, climate change could greatly exacerbate health inequities, also highlighting an often neglected aspect of health equity intergenerational inequity. In 2000, an estimated 150 000 deaths were attributable to climate change and this is likely to increase with plausible temperature rises.3 The current illness burden overwhelmingly falls on those who have contributed least to the problem, with the poorest one billion people in the world accounting for only 3% of global carbon emissions.4 Disadvantaged communities have the most vulnerability and least resources to respond to climate change health threats such as increased natural disasters, food and water insecurity and changing disease distribution. For example, the risk of being affected by weather-related natural disasters is almost 80 times higher in developing countries than in developed countries.5
Addressing climate change can worsen health equity
While climate change represents a health burden imposed principally by the rich on the poor, addressing climate change will not necessarily improve health equity. Many promising policies aimed at mitigating climate change by reducing carbon emissions, such as price mechanisms, could easily increase income inequality and worsen health inequities.
For example, the use of a carbon tax in Denmark has been shown to be regressive in terms of income inequality.6 Carbon taxation schemes discourage carbon emissions by making them more expensive. As a result, raised production costs increase the price of essential items. Despite high-income groups using more carbon and often paying more tax, the proportional financial burden is greater for low-income groups. Decreased spending by low-income groups on essential commodities such as adequate food, heating and health care can lead to negative impacts on health and health equity.
There are similar concerns with carbon trading schemes. Most schemes currently mooted operate at the level of industry and are likely to have inequitable effects on income as producers pass on the costs to consumers. Personal trading schemes, while difficult to implement, could provide revenue for poorer people through the sale of excess carbon allowances to higher emitters. However, poorer people, particularly in high-income countries, are not always the lowest emitters.
Other policy decisions aimed at reducing carbon emissions can also bring unexpected hazards for health equity. For example, the marked recent instability in the cost of basic foods was due to a complex range of factors, but a significant contributor was the shift from food to biofuel production, particularly in subsidized markets. More locally, in Delhi, changing the fuel source of buses from diesel to liquefied petroleum gas aimed to achieve local and global environmental objectives. However, higher prices pushed poorer passengers to more polluting and dangerous transport, and hampered access to health and other essential services.
Measures to adapt to climate change also pose particular challenges for health equity. Given the high costs of infrastructure and other adaptation measures, poor countries and communities are likely to be the least able to implement protective measures. This poses similar risks for adaptation as those that exist with some health promotion strategies. Rich communities are likely to be able to implement adaptation measures before poorer communities and this will increase health gaps.
Improving health equity can worsen climate change
Equally, policy that aims to improve health inequity can easily worsen climate change. It is undeniable that, for many countries with very poor health status, economic development is a necessity to reduce inequities. The improvements in health status seen in many east Asian countries over the past 40 years have been accompanied by economic development and increased carbon emissions. If other countries follow this path, even using the best available technology, construction of basic infrastructure in housing, sanitation, roads and communications will require significant carbon emissions.
To stay within ecological limits and prevent serious destabilization due to climate change, on average no more than two tonnes of carbon dioxide per person must be generated per year.7 Yet the average American emits 20 tonnes and the average Chinese nearly four tonnes. To deny poorer countries economic development using carbon-based fuel gives rise to charges of hypocrisy on the part of developed countries. Many developing countries resist committing to emissions reductions which seem incompatible with the improvements in living conditions essential to improving health equity.
"Co-benefits" are achievable
Despite these tensions, there are potential synergies between improving health equity and addressing climate change. Health equity gains from economic development in poorer countries will be unsustainable without climate stabilization. Mitigation of climate change, without undermining poverty alleviation, is therefore a pre-condition for health equity in coming decades.
Clear mutual "wins" can already be identified. Policies that promote safe, affordable and accessible use of active transport public transport, cycling and walking over the use of private motorized transport have health equity gains as well as value in climate change mitigation. Such policies can reduce the health burden from air pollution and motor vehicle injury and, by increasing physical activity, reduce cardiovascular disease, cancer and mental illness, all of which are health threats that show large disparities between different groups.
Improved housing also provides great potential for health equity and climate change co-benefits. Incomplete household combustion of coal and biomass in low-income countries causes 2.7% of the global disease burden, mainly from respiratory disease.8 Shifting to cleaner energy sources is expected to both reduce emissions of black carbon, a potent greenhouse gas, and save large numbers of lives among the poorest. In both high- and low-income countries, energy inefficient housing causes considerable health effects due to cold and dampness. Improving insulation has been a focus of policy to address climate change in many countries. In New Zealand, Kyoto Protocol requirements and research showing the health benefits of insulation together resulted in a commitment for insulation to be installed in all social housing a clear example of a "win-win" for health equity and climate stabilization.
Ensuring synergies
The Commission on Social Determinants of Health's call "to bring the two agendas of health equity and climate change together"2 requires specific attention. The potential tensions between reducing emissions and creating equitable policies require strategies that keep both goals at the forefront to identify and exploit synergies and co-benefits.
Essential conditions for achieving health equity and climate goals can be identified. First, strategies must adhere to key principles, including the fair sharing of burdens embodied in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change's language of "common but differentiated responsibilities" and the World Health Organization constitution's declaration that all people have a right to "the highest attainable standard of health". Principles must also include a commitment to intersectoral action to achieve "health equity and climate change in all policies". This provides a further driver for the differential approach to mitigation whereby developed countries contract their emissions while developing countries converge theirs to allow the development that is fundamental for health equity.
Second, specific policies need to be carefully designed and assessed. Integrated assessment methods that consider the range of effects on health and health equity can maximize synergies and optimize trade-offs between competing priorities. At the design stage, implementing safeguards and flanking measures, such as recycling revenue from carbon pricing measures, towards health outcomes for disadvantaged groups can help avoid or reduce inequitable effects.
Third, further research and continued monitoring and evaluation of policies are required. Interactions between climate policy and health equity are particularly complex and uncertain. Improving health equity is identified as a broad goal of the currently proposed climate change research agenda.9 However, few relevant or specific studies exist. As with all policy, implementation will be necessary without full knowledge of effects and unintended consequences. Success stories and chastening experiences must be shared rapidly and widely to help decision-makers move towards socially beneficial policies.
The simultaneous pursuit of climate stabilization and health equity is a political as well as a technical challenge, questioning current economic models in terms of the allocation of resources in society and calling for careful policy design to achieve fairer outcomes. Anyone attempting to improve health equity alongside addressing climate change will need to be as smart as they are well-intentioned.

More than a year after revamping its suitability rule, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has issued a study guide of sorts for broker-dealers (BDs) to help them prep for suitability exams.
Notice to Members 13-31 discusses issues that have cropped up during exams in the last year, with some of the infractions serious enough to be referred to enforcement. It highlights exam areas, common findings and effective practices when complying with the revised suitability rule, which became effective on July 9, 2012.
The notice provided eight questions every BD should be able to answer. Josh Horn, a partner in the Securities Industry Practice at Fox Rothschild in Philadelphia, summed those questions up in a recent blog post.
"If you cannot answer them in some fashion, you likely do not have adequate protocols in place," Horn warns. "Take the time to revisit your policies and procedures before FINRA does it for you."
The suitability rule requires a firm or associated person to "have a reasonable basis to believe that a recommended transaction or investment strategy involving a security or securities is suitable for the customer, based on the information obtained through the reasonable diligence of the member or associated person to ascertain the customer's investment profile."
Horn told ThinkAdvisor that to get up to speed with the new rule's requirements over the past year, he suspects "that there are firms that had to undertake a wholesale review of their policies and procedures to get them current to the new suitability rule."
Here is his summation of FINRA's eight questions:
- What training has the firm deployed regarding the change in suitability rules?
- Does the firm offer training for associated persons to address investment strategies and hold recommendations?
- How are investment strategies (including hold recommendations) defined and supervised?
- What are the firm's supervisory and compliance procedures for determining whether there was a reasonable basis for the investment recommendation?
- What tools does the firm deploy to uncover in-and-out trading, high turnover rates and commission-equity ratios?
- How does the firm go about determining if a client constitutes an institutional investor for the purposes of being capable to independently evaluate investment risks?
- What protocols does the firm use to ensure that it obtains an affirmative acknowledgement from an institutional client that it is exercising independent judgment?
- If the firm uses a portfolio analytic tool or model, how does it determine whether the tools or models make recommendations subject to the suitability rule or satisfy the safe harbor criteria in Rule 2111.03?
In 2012, suitability violations were the top fine-getter for FINRA, with fines totaling $19.4 million in suitability cases, up 152% from the $7.7 million in fines reported in 2011.
A review of FINRA's findings by the law firm Davis Polk found that the most frequent deficiency found among firms that were examined was inadequate procedures for hold recommendations — how the firm supervises and, when necessary, documents such hold recommendations.
FINRA states that most of these deficiencies were addressed through a "Cautionary Action" that cited firms for inadequate supervisory procedures. However, FINRA said that it would also consider formal disciplinary action for more serious violations when appropriate, such as cases involving unsuitable recommendations.
FINRA notes that the few exam findings that have already resulted in referrals to the FINRA enforcement department involved suitability violations that were actionable under the predecessor suitability rule, Davis Polk says.

E! News has obtained the graphic autopsy results on "Soul Train" founder Don Cornelius, who died in February at the age of 75.
The documents reaffirm the coroner's ruling issued then: the cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head which entered through the right temple.
The autopsy report states that Cornelius had suffered an aneurysm about 15 years ago which caused him to develop seizures and "as time went on the decedent's health continued to decline regardless of his medication."
It notes that on Feb. 1 at approximately 3 a.m., the 75-year-old "Soul Train" host phoned his son and said, "I don't know how long I can take this." Moments later, Cornelius apparently shot himself.
His son later told investigators, "[I] found the back door open and detected the odor of smoke … then found him unresponsive on a chair. 911 was dialed."
The report, which includes vivid depictions of Don Cornelius' wounds, reveals that he had been "very depressed about his failing health" for the past six months.
After paramedics failed to revive him with CPR, Cornelius was pronounced dead at 4:56 a.m. No suicide note was found and no foul play was suspected.
The autopsy report also reveals that Cornelius shot himself in the left temple and the bullet exited his right temple.

Many data centers use much more energy than they need to. The expense of powering servers often exceeds initial purchase cost. With a data center energy management program, you have an opportunity to attain energy savings of at least 20%.
Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) software tools can help organizations meet the challenges posed by higher density computing, dynamic workloads, and the need for more efficient energy consumption. The result is a data center that is more reliable and efficient, with greater business value.
The challenge with energy management programs is that the cost of instrumentation for each data center system can adversely affect ROI. Learn about a simple process that provides data center energy insights at a reasonable cost.
Today's DCIM tools can identify and resolve issues with a minimal amount of human intervention. By comparing power, cooling, and space resources for individual servers, DCIM tools proactively inform systems managers of potential physical infrastructure issues and how they might impact specific IT loads. More intelligent tools also enable IT to inform the lines of business of the impact of their actions before servers are provisioned.
PC Connection's Data Center Practice services can help you optimize data center operations, improve efficiencies, and identify and correct trouble spots in your data center.

We all agree that the iPhone's innovative touch screen is a joy to use, but because it's capacitive you need to touch it with bare skin; if you have fanciful notions of protecting your hands from the cold with some gloves, you can forget about interacting with your iPhone or iPod touch's screen.
That's where these Etre Touchy gloves come in. The tips of the finger and thumb are missing on both hands, so you can tap, flick and pinch to your heart's content.
Now clearly, because these bits are removed, you're not going to get as much protection as you would with a pair of traditional gloves – and indeed they're neither lined nor particularly thick – but they're warmer than wearing no gloves at all.
And they're not just useful for the iPhone, either; having finger and thumb exposed makes stuff like unlocking your front door easier.

Pickens County 2016 EQIP Program
Executive Summary
The USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Pickens County will hold a sign up for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) for the 2016 Fiscal Year. The signup will be held on a continuous basis.
This program is designed to address resource concerns or problems on cropland, pastureland, woodland, or hayland requiring practices that meet the Alabama Practice Implementation Data FY-2016 containing a list of program payment rates and programmatic restrictions for implementation.
Applicants will complete the NRCS-CPA-1200 application form and appendix. Submit forms in person, by phone or letter to:
USDA-NRCS or the Pickens County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD)
Service Center Building, Room 304
155 Reform Street
Carrollton, Alabama 35447
Hours: 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday
Phone: 205-367-8168
Contact: District Conservationist
The county's resource concerns are: (there is no priority order of concerns)
All applications will be ranked and approvals based on an environmental ranking worksheet that has been adjusted to meet local resource concerns. This process is utilized to insure the most environmental benefit is received for the dollars being expended through the EQIP program. The highest ranking application in each resource concern will be approved until all funds have been obligated.
In the event that a tie occurs on ranking an application, the application that was submitted with the lowest estimated contract cost will be ranked higher.
The cut-off date for the first ranking of applications is October 16, 2015. If all monies are not obligated with the first ranking, then subsequent rankings will be held as needed. Unfunded applications will be kept on hand and will be considered for funding at a later date should additional funds become available. The Pickens County Local Workgroup reserves the right to ensure that all county allocation monies are not allocated to one resource concern, an additional meeting may be scheduled to assign a percentage of the county allocation to be spent on each resource concern.
For FY-2016, an applicant will be able to enter an application in as many statewide funding pools as he/she is eligible for but they will only be able to apply in one county wide fund pool (example: A New and Beginning Farmer wants to sign up for tree planting and cross fence and watering facilities.) In the statewide pool he/she can apply in the New and Beginning Farmer pool but in the county pool he/she has to choose between Forestry/Wildlife or Grazing Lands.
The Alabama NRCS state approved EQIP Practice and Payment Schedule for Practices, Practice Restrictions and Payment Rates will be used for Pickens County with the following additional county-wide restrictions:
Written leases must be provided for the length of the contract where applicants installing practices are not the current landowner(s). Structural practices installed must have prior written approval of landowner(s).
If a landowner has received an incentive payment in a previous EQIP contract, they will not be allowed to receive additional incentive payments for the same practice and/or practice level during the life of the present farm bill.
Limited Resource Farmers, New and Beginning Farmers, and Socially Disadvantaged Farmers will be paid at an increased payment rate. Applicants are required to self-certify that they meet the requirements to qualify as a Limited Resource Farmer and a percentage of these applicants will be subject to NRCS State Office spot checks.
Additional information is available on the National NRCS EQIP website.

Sugar Rush: Cupcakes from Tribeca Treats
Your daily dose of something sweet.
I wanted to, but just couldn't love cupcakes from Tribeca Treats. Above is the Cookies & Cream Cupcake ($2), one out of many cupcake options. A perfectly decent chocolate cake base, moist, but flat and unmemorable in both flavor and texture. Studded with chocolate cookie crumbs, the cream is painfully sugary. Brownies, chocolates, and cookies are also offered, and it may be worth returning for housemade ice cream sandwiches. There's a big communal table at the center of the bakery, good for stopping in for afternoon sweets with friends.

Alchemy Photography based in North Cornwall offers Wedding Photography at The St Ives Harbour Hotel that is natural and contemporary
Cornwall and Devon Wedding Photography at an affordable price.
The St Ives Harbour Hotelis a preferred venue for Alchemy Photography
One of the top 28 Wedding Photographers in the UK -Fizz Box Awards 2020
One of the top 25 Wedding Photographers in the UK -Hen Heaven Awards 2018
I am a Cornwall based Wedding Photographer and love to photograph at The St Ives Harbour Hotel. I have a wealth of experience shooting stunning Landscapes and Weddings and a preferred venue of mine for wedding photography is The St Ives Harbour Hotel, although the car parking leaves a lot to be desired.
The team at The St Ives Harbour Hotel do a superb job and you can be assured of a totally amazing day
My wedding packages include an on-line gallery hosted by Photobox and a DVD of high resolution images, fully edited and copyright free ready for printing and sharing with your friends.
My approach is relaxed and non intrusive. I produce contemporary wedding images while documenting all the important moments of the day.
Depending on your requirements, I can follow a formal or more informal approach, although most people usually want a combination of the two: most of the traditional photos and a casual documentation of the day. I will include images that the Bride and Groom don't usually see, guests arriving at the venue and candid portraits just to complete the coverage of the day.
I guarantee to take at least 300 photographs but should I take more (I'm averaging about 700-900 images from a full day package), they are all yours to keep, share and print.

Over the past year or so, we've heard a lot about multithreading, deadlocks, cache invalidation, and superlinear scalability. I, for one, have introduced multithreading for the CPU-intensive parts of my applications. During this time, however, I've come to realize that the biggest bottleneck often involves loading data from files. Consequently I've built a small test suite that performs the following actions:
- Read a single file sequentially
- Read multiple files sequentially
- Read from a single file at random positions
- Read from multiple files at random positions
- Write a single file sequentially
- Write multiple files sequentially
- Write to a single file at random positions
- Write to multiple files at random positions
I repeated each of these tests with 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 threads. From each test, I recorded the total throughput in MB/s. The source code consists of a single C++ source file and is available here.
I've run all of these tests on:
- A dual quad-core XEON with 10GB RAM and an internal RAID 5 system consisting of four 10k SAS Disks running Windows XP x64
- A dual XEON with 4 GB RAM and 10k U360 SCSI Disks running Windows XP
- A Core Duo Laptop with 1.5 GB RAM and a 5400 RPM SATA disk running Windows XP
For single file I/O, I used files of 200MB in size. All threads in a run accessed the same single file. For multiple files I/O, each file had 20MB. All threads were using separate files. All accesses were made with blocks of 512 Bytes.
I repeated the entire test suite three times. The values I present here are the average of the three runs. The standard deviation in most cases did not exceed 10-20%. All tests have been also run three times with reboots after every run, so that no file was accessed from cache. These runs were slower, of course, but the influence of the number threads was similar to the results shown here (with the exception of random read multiple files; see below). To suppress caching effects with the test, I used different set of files for each subtest with 1, 2...,32 threads.
Theoretical Aspects
Before discussing the results, it is important to consider a few important I/O issues.
Read caching. All modern operating systems use all available memory to cache the most recently used files -- or more specifically the most recently read or written blocks. The RAID machine with 10 GB RAM has a clear advantage here, as it's able to cache all files used (some 6 GB in total). The other machines cannot reuse any cache data from one to the next of the three runs as the first used file must be dropped from cache after reading and writing more file space than available RAM.
Write back caches. Operating systems and more specifically RAID systems offer write caches that buffer written data before it is actually stored on the hard disks. The write command returns although the data is only in the cache. On first tests I encountered a slowdown on the RAID system in the middle of the write tests. The reason for this was that the write cache was full, so the tests were influenced by the tests made before. I therefore introduced a pause of some seconds after each subtest before starting with a different number of threads. Read and write caches explain some of the huge throughput of the RAID system used.
Native command queuing. Most current drives (even my three-yearold laptop's SATA drive) support native command queuing. This technology contains asynchronous execution of read and write commands to a hard disk. The commands return in the order where they best fit the drive's point of rotation. For instance, if four read requests (A, B, C, D) are sent to the disk, they might return in the order D, C, B, A, because the drive's heads accidentally were close to the position of the data requested with D when the commands were received. Then the nearest position was the one of C and so on.
Now consider a single-threaded application waiting to receive first A, then B, then C, and so on, compared to a application with four threads requesting A, B, C, and D simultaneously. While the multithreaded application has received A, B, C, and D all together, the single-threaded one might just have received A after the same runtime. (For more information, see Serial ATA: Native Command Queuing.) While there many more theoretical aspects (operating system, drivers, disk fragmentation, sector, and block size, to mention a few), going deeper is beyond the scope of this article.

An HTML5 app is housed on the Web and runs inside a mobile browser. Unlike apps built specifically for Apple devices or Google's Android operating system, it does not need to be built from scratch for each OS. The promise is that it can be "write once, run anywhere."
It's true: In many cases, HTML5 can work just as well as a native approach. But it is not the silver bullet it is often made out to be, for several reasons. HTML5 faces a fragmentation issue of its own, since there are gaps in the range of HTML5 app features supported by the different mobile browsers.
So where are we in the HTML5 vs. native apps debate?
A recent report from BI Intelligence analyses this very question.
In the report, we do a head-to-head comparison of the two, explain the specific reasons why HTML5 has a long term edge over native apps for mobile development, analyse the barriers to HTML5 as a development tool and explain how HTML5 is starting to overcome them, look at the current state of the performance gap between HTML5 and native apps, and get the developer's perspective through interviews with HTML5 sceptics, early adopters, and HTML5 pioneers and advocates.
Access The Full Report By Signing Up For A Free Trial Today >>
Here's a few areas where native apps still reign supreme over HTML5:
- Rich user experience and performance: HTML5 still faces challenges in accessing device-native features across all mobile browsers, and in rendering graphically-rich user interfaces and data presentations.
- Monetization: The native app stores — Apple's App Store and Google Play — win this one. There hasn't been a convincing model for HTML5 monetization beyond individual vendors selling their apps online.
- Security: Currently, native apps still offer greater ease of access to advanced security features and encryption.
- So, where is HTML5 ahead? HTML5 has a leg up in cross-platform deployment costs, update speed and distribution control, available programming expertise, and in solving fragmentation challenges: Both native and HTML5 face serious fragmentation challenges, but of different sorts. Ultimately, it's more likely that HTML5 and its cross-platform potential will win out here.
In full, the report:
- Includes a head-to-head comparison of HTML5 and native apps, explaining the winner in user experience, performance, deployment costs, distribution control, monetization, available programming expertise, fragmentation challenges, and security
- Explains the specific reasons why HTML5 has a long term edge over native apps for mobile development
- analyses the barriers to HTML5 as a development tool and explains how HTML5 is starting to overcome them

Tonight I dipped some Hot pork rinds into the oil and couldn't stop eating them. BTW, the paste can be use to make the hot oil and is just as good Im sure. Thanks for the post Craig.
Have any of you guys tried the Silafunghi brand? This is what I have been using and it's great and very addicting. I add a little bit more olive oil to "extend" them and make it easier to drizzle on pizza. I get it from my neighborhood deli shop but it's also being sold here online - http://www.oliveoiloftheworld.com/shop/index.php?ukey=product&productID=710. Marlon
craig, have you tried the one i left? i wonder how you think it compares to yours.
I picked up some hot chili oil from a local Asian market last week. While I have yet to use it on pizza, it was only $2.99 for 8 or so oz and within walking distance from my house. I also tried a hot pepper infused olive oil a few months ago that kicked up the heat nicely with little real flavor, but that was $8/bottle. I wonder how these compare to this chili oil?
Are you sure those are jalapenos? Jalapenos are dark green until they are very ripe when they turn brown red then bright red. They almost never have any lateral indentions in them and often get scars (kind of look like stretch marks) before changing color. If I had to guess, I'd say they are banana peppers.
Tonight I dipped some Hot pork rinds into the oil and couldn't stop eating them.
I just picked up some Jalepeneo Olives!
Just wondering what you guys think of it I think it looks neat.
i tried a hot pepper infused olive oil like your second link. it brought the heat, which was what i was looking for. but as for the flavor, it adds little to the pie.

Unless we've all been victims of an enormous and elaborate hoax, the iPad mini is expected to launch this month and be ready in time for Christmas. Further evidence for this has been provided by Asian component suppliers, who claim that Apple has ordered more than 10 million of the devices to be made in the fourth quarter of this year.
Last week, Pocket-lint reported that the internet was awash with rumours that the 7.85-inch tablet would be announced on either the 17 or 18 October, based on a source's claim that the official press invitations for Apple's announcement event would be arriving on 10 October.
The "major Apple investor" who made that claim also suggests that the new iPad mini will go on sale on 2 November. And those dates seem to add up further with these new claims from the component suppliers.
There has been a lot of buzz and excitement about a prospective smaller iPad, with many suggesting that it would dominate the 7-inch tablet market over strong rivals from Amazon, Barnes & Noble and, of course, Google, with its Nexus 7. However, the price of the new device will be massively important, with some claiming that it may be considerably more expensive than its peers.
Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, RBS analyst Wanli Wang hints that Apple may surprise us all. "iPad mini will be a big hit if Apple prices it below $300," he said.
Do you think an iPad mini will be a hit? Let us know in the comments below...

If you live in a sunshine-filled part of the country, you may not pay much attention to the sun's healing benefits, but those who live where sunlight is lacking may understand the impact light has on various medical issues, from depression to skin conditions.
Light therapy or phototherapy refers to a specific wavelength of light using lasers, light-emitting diodes, fluorescent lamps or full spectrum light devices. Light is administered in a medical practioner's office for a specific condition and length of time and light boxes are available for home use.
The most common uses for light therapy may be in the treatment of psoriasis, sleep disorders, pain and some psychiatric disorders such as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Other less common medical uses for light therapy include wound healing, inflammation and hair growth. Here's a few of the most popular ways in which light is used in healing:
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a form of depression most often associated with the lack of light during the fall and winter months. It is very common and may be linked to low serotonin levels. "We often associate low serotonin with depression, however low serotonin can also cause anxiety, excessive worry and feeling overly stressed," says Trudy Scott, certified food and mood expert in Cordova, Calif., and author of "The Antianxiety Food Solution – How the Foods You Eat Can Help you Calm Your Anxious Mind, Improve Your Mood and End Cravings" (New Harbinger).
"For many of my clients who are prone to having their serotonin levels decline in the winter months, if they don't use light therapy, they end up with worsening depression and anxiety, and increased afternoon and evening sugar cravings."
If your doctor recommends using light therapy, you'll want to buy a light box. Prices vary from $100-$500. Some look like standing lamps while others are rectangular. You'll typically sit two feet in front of the light box once or twice a day for up to 30 minutes with the light directed toward your face. Buy a box specifically for the treatment of SAD. Though you can buy light boxes over-the-counter, ask your doctor for a recommendation. A good box filters out dangerous UV light and may be covered by insurance with a doctor's note.
Sleep disorders
Shift work can seriously disrupt a person's circadian rhythm, the normal sleep-wake cycle. Light therapy is used for shift work disorder as well as circadian rhythm disorders to help regulate a person's ability to wake and sleep.
"Our body produces sleep hormones that regulate sleep and wake," explains Amy Korn-Reavis, RRT, RPSGT, a registered polysomnography technologist in Orlando, Fla. "
Sleep is regulated by our exposure to light. "Night shift workers do not have this exposure so using light therapy light will stimulate the brain to register that it is supposed to be awake." A physician or sleep specialist should prescribe how long you sit under a light therapy box and the time of day to use it. Usually people who work nights use the light box in the evening before going to work. In the morning when shift workers need to sleep, they should wear sunglasses and minimize their light exposure with a sleep mask.
Chiropractors also use light therapy in the treatment of several disorders. "We have been using Low Level Laser Therapy (cold laser) for several years in our office," says J G Moellendorf, DC, ND, LCP a chiropractor in Sturgeon Bay, Wis. It is used to reduce pain and inflammation, increase muscle function, and increase the rate of healing.
"We have used it to turn on muscles, some of which have not been functioning for several decades. Most remarkable though is what we are seeing in neurological disorders, particularly peripheral neuropathy, Parkinson's, and strokes," says Moellendorf.
These light therapies use red and infrared light for the relief of pain, to accelerate healing and decrease inflammation. When the light source is placed against the skin, the photons penetrate and are absorbed by the mitochondria, the energy producing part of cells.
Light therapy or laser treatments also play a leading role at the dermatologist's office. Blue light, infrared and photopneumatic light are all used in the treatment of acne and other skin conditions. Light therapy is being tested to treat hair loss, nail fungus and cellulite, and has been a mainstay in treating psoriasis and aging skin. And lasers, which emit a high beam of light, are used to treat fine lines and wrinkles in the ever popular anti-aging battle. Depending on the type of laser, these treatments can be quite pricey. Fractional laser resurfacing therapy, for instance, uses beams of energy light to bore tiny holes in the skin, which rev up collagen production, leading to less visible fine lines and wrinkles to the tune of up to $5,000.

Firefighting impeded by illegal parkers
Pittsburghers want police to crack down
A devastating fire in Pittsburgh's Mount Washington neighborhood could be a wake-up call for drivers who chronically park illegally.
Battalion Chief Robert Ciesielski of the Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire says his fire trucks were blocked by many parked too close to the corner, those parked too far from the curb, and those blocking stop signs.
"At this intersection we couldn't even get to the closest water, we couldn't get a fire truck in front of the building. So, a magnitude of this fire, rose very quickly," Ciesielski said.
He added, "You can't be so close to a corner, you can't be blocking stop signs, keep your car close to the curb."
The fire on Kambach Street destroyed two homes and damaged a third. In the house where the fire started, two dogs died.
The homeowner, Susan Anderson, was raised in the house. She was in the house with her son when it caught fire. "We lost two dogs, no car keys, everything from my mother, who's passed away," said Anderson.
When firefighters went back to the same street today, Channel Four Action News Reporter Shannon Perrine went with them, and they discovered many cars still parked illegally on the street.
Neighbors say they will ask city council to devote more police to patrolling the area.
The battalion chief says had they been able to start working on the flames one minute sooner, the second house may have been saved.

PennDOT, speakers share progress, ideas at S.A.V.E. event
By ACL
Nationally-known urban planner Joe Minicozzi served as the keynote speaker during a Nov. 8 presentation in Kennett Square, in a presentation that introduced ideas designed to potentially calm traffic patterns along the Route 41 corridor.
By Richard L. Gaw
Staff Writer
Investment in a town's transportation infrastructure and its downtown is not only wise environmentally, it increases its' land value, said two nationally-known urban planners at a presentation held Nov. 8 at the Yellow House in Kennett Square.
"The Skinny 2013," sponsored by S.A.V.E. (Safety, Agriculture, Villages and Environment, Inc.), a local community organization that advocates safe and sustainable roads throughout Chester County, brought together more than 100 elected officials, conservation authorities and concerned citizens, in a consortium of ideas specifically wrapped around the future of the Route 41 corridor.
Saying that towns continually choose development patterns that don't reward them financially, keynote speaker Joe Minicozzi, an architect with Urban3, an Asheville, N.C.-based consulting company, said a town could receive more in tax revenues by investing in downtown areas, as opposed to projects like box stores located on the outskirts of the town. Minicozzi said that he sees cities, towns and villages as a form of DNA, and that towns have been put here hundreds of years ago, and have a trajectory to grow. "If they're not growing, they're dying," he said.
Minicozzi has been involved in the successful revitalization of Asheville, an initiative that has lured several for-profit businesses to locate in downtown neighborhoods. One of the buildings Urban3 renovated was one that the company ultimately converted into a 26-unit apartment complex. After its completion, many of the idea's critics believed that investment in the building was not a wise business decision, but Minicozzi said that the complex has been 99 percent leased since it was first developed.
Downtown investment enables a town to increase its taxable value, Minicozzi said, who added that because of downtown development in Asheville, the value of the area has grown from $100 million in value 20 years ago, to $10 billion in value now.
Showing a wide land area of Raleigh, N.C. - a tangled, spaghetti strand of highway that snakes its way into the city, Minicozzi said that that area the highway comprises in the city's limits pays no taxes, but development in the downtown area there could potentially grow city, county and school taxes that could net over $100 million over a 50-year period.
"That opportunity is all gone when you just give tax revenue potential over to a highway," Minicozzi said. "Grow your community, but do it in a way that you can increase your community's value. Do the work. Help provide a vision, but work with your community in a way that they know it's all going to work.
"You're all shareholders in this thing called Chester County, so your cash flow is your investment in your community, and how you pay for its services is out of its tax dollars," he said. "Think of citizens as shareholders in two corporations - the town and the county. These small towns and Main Streets actually produce more potent value in taxes, and it's your responsibility to cultivate that. It's more work, but you get more in return."
Ian Lockwood, a Florida-based professional engineer recognized nationally for his work on historic preservation and traffic calming, introduced engineering work he consulted for on Route 50 near Middleburgh, Va., which he called a model for smart-growth highway construction. Originally, based on forecasts by the state's department of transportation, Route 50 was expected to reach traffic over-saturation in 25 years, but thanks to the vision that local conservationists and planners shared with the department, what was created as a four-lane highway was softened as it wove through small towns. Using photographs in his presentation, Lockwood gave examples of how widened shoulders, the use of natural materials native to the region, and entry- and exit-feature zones created what he called a "context-sensitive design," that contributed to town centers increasing their walkability factor, while lessening disturbance caused by traffic.
"Local grass roots conservationists were up against conventional thinking, but over time, the people's vision prevailed," he told the audience.
Lockwood said that he supports the idea of placing roundabouts along the Route 41 corridor, as a means of slowing traffic down. "They don't break down, they don't require electricity, they can be incredibly safe, and they give the notion of traffic calming in order to reduce speeding," he said. "Nobody speeds up for a roundabout. That's why they have such stellar safety records. People go through them slowly. If there are accidents, they're much less severe."
Tim Stevenson, a representative from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), identified various improvements that the state agency is planning for the area. He said that during next spring, PennDOT will construct a roundabout at the intersection of Wawaset Road and Route 52, which he estimated will cost $2 million. He also said that PennDOT is about to enter the "listening" phase of projects along the Route 41 corridor that will ultimately improve traffic flow, including the re-design of the Route 926-Route 41 intersection.
"The first component of any project is identifying its purpose and needs, to gauge the community and ask what the needs are and capturing what those needs are," Stevenson said. "After receiving input from all townships, Penn DOT will then put together a purpose and needs statements sometime during the next few months, then plan some developments along intersection along Route 41."
Stevenson said the coordination between PennDOT and local resource agencies involved with such development is expected to take a few years.
Before introducing the speakers, S.A.V.E. Executive Director Julie Gardner said future development along Route 41 should be done in a way "that preserves our agriculture, enhances our villages and protects our environment."
Until recently, she said, local conservationists and planners could see few prospects for improvement along the corridor, but pointed to several recent initiatives that have been introduced into on-going talks. "In 2012, residents got their comments into the hands of the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission and PennDOT, asking for safety improvements and traffic calming," said Gardner, who also praised a letter that was written by elected officials from five area townships and circulated to PennDOT and state officials, asking for consideration of several design and safety initiatives for Route 41.
Ronald Bailey, executive director of the the Chester County Planning Commission, compared the commission's current projects to the legs of a stool, much of them on point with Minicozzi's presentation. "Our plan calls for investing in existing communities within the infrastructure of boroughs, to make investments in preserving farm land and open space, to investing in partners that assists municipalities to upgrade their ordinances, and protecting the quality of life within the county," Bailey said.
Minicozzi also spoke at "The Dollars and Sense of Land Use," a presentation sponsored by the Brandywine Conservancy Environmental Management Center on Nov. 9. The event, intended to explore how development patterns can impact community wealth, also featured a panel discussion with Minicozzi, Bailey, Bryn Mawr Economics professor David Ross and East Whiteland Township manager Terry Woodman.
