Trump contribution to Pam Bondi's re-election draws more scrutiny to her fundraising
For the second time in more than a month, campaign contributions fueling the re-election efforts of Attorney General Pam Bondi are raising questions about the overlap between politics and how Florida's top law enforcement officer performs her duties.
Bondi apologized last month after she persuaded Gov. Rick Scott to delay an execution so she could host a fundraiser at her South Tampa home that ended up raising $140,000.
Now comes criticism of a $25,000 contribution made by one of Donald Trump's foundations to a political committee associated with Bondi. The donation came three days after an Attorney General's office spokeswoman said Bondi was reviewing allegations in a lawsuit filed by the New York attorney general against get-rich-quick seminars associated with Trump.
New York's Eric Schneiderman filed the lawsuit Aug. 25, alleging that Trump University and its affiliates were "sham for profit colleges" that ripped off 5,000 consumers. He's seeking $40 million in restitution for the complainants.
"Mr. Trump used his celebrity status and personally appeared in commercials making false promises to convince people to spend tens of thousands of dollars they couldn't afford for lessons they never got," Schneiderman said in a statement.
A Sept. 14 Orlando Sentinel story noted that Schneiderman's case cited dozens of complaints filed with the Florida Attorney General's Office in 2008, two years before Bondi took office. A spokeswoman for Bondi was quoted as saying the office was reviewing the New York lawsuit.
Three days later, the Donald J. Trump Foundation, based in New York, made a $25,000 contribution to And Justice for All, a political fundraising committee raising money for Bondi's re-election.
Unlike New York, Florida has taken no action against Trump. Bondi couldn't be reached for comment. Jenn Meale, a Bondi spokeswoman, suggested no action is necessary because the affected Florida consumers would be compensated if Schneiderman wins that case.
But a review of the 22 complaints filed in 2008 show they named the "Trump Institute," an entity not named in the New York suit. Because those are technically different entities, it's unclear how many making those complaints would be covered, then, by the New York suit. Meale said that determination still has yet to be made.
Meale points out that since Bondi has been in office, the Attorney General's office has received only one complaint about the Trump seminars. It was filed in 2011 by Charles Jacobson, who is now 62 and retired in Delray Beach. He says he lost $26,000 in fees to attend a three-day seminar in West Palm Beach.
"I took it because they told us it would make us rich, but it didn't teach me anything," he said. "Except my bankruptcy."
Jacobson has since asked Bondi's office to join the New York suit so that Florida consumers like him can get their money back. He says he was told that Florida doesn't get involved in class-action suits, which the New York case is not. When told about Trump's $25,000 contribution, Jacobson said it didn't look right.
"That's probably why she won't do it," he said. "But that should have nothing to do with it."
The contribution was made to a political committee that is technically not part of Bondi's official campaign.
Nancy Watkins, treasurer of And Justice for All, said there was no regret.
"Based on the information at hand, we are comfortable with the propriety of the contribution from the Trump Foundation," she said.
Trump didn't answer why he was contributing to a Florida attorney general race, if he's contributed to other attorney general races or if he was doing so to pressure Bondi on the case involving his seminars.
But he did release a statement:
"Pam Bondi is a fabulous representative of the people — Florida is lucky to have her. ... The case in New York is pure politics brought by an incompetent attorney general, a political hack."

Gov20LA is coming up soon, Two weeks to be exact.
Los Angeles is not a walking town, generally. There are public transportation systems, but in the City of Los Angeles the bus system is the strongest. There is a Metro, but it only goes to certain parts of town. If you plan on taking cabs, most take credit cards.
Recommendation: Rent a car or get a hotel near the venue so it will be an inexpensive taxi ride.
LAX is roughly 35-45 minutes away from the event site without traffic. Additionally, due to the traffic intensity in Los Angeles, always allow a little more time to drive places than you think necessary.
We have reserved a block of rooms at the W Hollywood, which is opening the week prior to the Camp, and is where the Friday Night Reception will be held. The W is located on Hollywood Boulevard, right in the mix of the Hollywood scene, and next door to a Red Line Metro stop. The W is approximately a 10 minute drive from the venue site. Note: This link has a secondary confirmation process that is not obvious.
will set you up with a customized applet for the Camp.
Additional Hotels nearby:
Car Rental: While many of you may already get Government discounts on Rental Cars, you should also check out which offers deep discounts: Rental Car Momma – http://www.rentalcarmomma.com/cities/california.htm Also: check the Big airline sites for their car solutions in LA, sometimes cheaper than discount travel sites.
Venue Information: The Camp will be held at http://www.blankspaces.com – which is located on Wilshire Boulevard near La Brea. There are several restaurants, and bars nearby, as well as a Starbucks and a Staples next door. The site is a co-working "hotel" with powerful technology to support our needs.

On first glance, I fully read this name on the 1891 Canada Census as Hipster.
"I was calling myself Bailie before it was cool." Bailie/Bailey doesn't even show up in the top 1000 baby names in the States until nearly a hundred years later in 1983. (Those stats come from the Social Security Administration's baby name list, comprised of the names of Americans who applied for Social Security numbers. I wasn't able to find Canada wide naming trends.)
The Hipsteins lived in Montreal Est. If you look at the full page from the census, about half of the people were enumerated in English (Mr. Hipstein was a dry goods peddler) and the other half in French (including a vet; a medecin vetrenarie). Since the census only asks if the respondent can read or write but doesn't specify a language, this is kind of a neat springboard to determining whether your Quebec ancestors who died before 1901 (when the census included language) were Anglophone or Francophone.

Who Needs Batteries? Seacoast Firm Stores Energy With Air
March 1, 2013
Solar and wind power are intermittent, and if enough of them are powering the grid, some kind of storage will be necessary. And storage means batteries, right?
Not necessarily. In Seabrook New Hampshire, a start-up is doing it with compressed air.
SustainX was founded in 2007 by Professor Charles Hutchinson and engineering students Dax Kepshire Th'06, '09, Ben Bollinger '04 Th'04, '08, and Troy McBride Th'01.
It's pretty easy to see how energy stored as compressed air works: When you let go of a full balloon, it flies all around the room because of the energy stored inside. So if you use electricity to run an air compressor, you basically just need to find a way to run that compressor backwards to get electricity again.
There are places in the world that do this, one in Alabama and one in Germany, but just those two so far. That's because they aren't that efficient. Richard Brody is Vice President of the energy storage start-up SustainX. He says these facilities lose almost half of their energy as waste heat.
"So think of a bicycle pump, when you compress the air, it get's warm, that's waste heat," Brody explains. SustainX is building a prototype of what's basically a bicycle pump on steroids.
That means, a lot of heat. Brody says, "We're talking about a potential change in temperature of a thousand degrees centigrade." SustainX's innovation is finding a way to put that waste heat to good use.

One permatopic across programming blogs is the good ol' static-vs-dynamic languages debate. Static languages (like C, C++, C#, C--, Java, etc.) require variables to have type declarations primarily to generate compiled code and secondarily to catch errors or emit warnings at compile time. Dynamic languages (like Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby, Tcl, Lisp, Scheme, Smalltalk, etc.) do away with all those needless keystrokes, allow programmers to be more productive, and generally aren't as dangerous as the C-programmers would have you believe. Furthermore, dynamic language programmers are quick to point out that any real program in a static language requires typecasting, which throws all of the "guarantees" out the window, and bring in all of the "dangers" of dynamic languages with none of the benefits.
However, this debate isn't limited to these opposite points of view. There's another perspective, which I heard from Mark-Jason Dominus about a decade ago: static typing in languages like C and Pascal isn't really static typing! (Correction: Mark actually said that "strong" typing in C and Pascal isn't really strong typing.)
The kind of static typing supported by C, its ancestors and its descendants, dates back to the 1950s and Fortran (or, rather FORTRAN, since lower case letters hadn't been invented yet). Type annotations in these languages are guides to the compiler in how much storage to allocate for each variable. Eventually, compilers began to emit warnings or compiler errors mixing variables of incompatible types (like floating point numbers and strings), because those kinds of operation don't make sense. If the irksome compiler gets in your way, you can always tell the it to shut up and do the operation anyway and maybe let the program crash at runtime. Or maybe silently corrupt data. Or maybe something completely different. None of which makes much sense, but there you go.
Modern static typing, on the other hand, uses a strong dose of the Hindley-Milner type inference algorithm to determine (a) what values a variable may contain and (b) prevent the use of incompatible values in expressions. Furthermore, Hindley-Milner prevents values being cast from one type to another on a whim (unlike C), and thus prevents odd runtime errors through abuse of the type system. This leads to an strong, unbreakable type system that is enforced by the compiler, and prevents a whole class of loopholes allowed by lesser type systems. Because types can be inferred, explicit type annotations aren't always needed, which leads to an interesting property: languages that are safer than "safe" static languages like C and Java, and programs that are free of those troublesome, noisy type declarations, just like dynamic languages.
Use of the Hindley-Milner type system comes to us through ML, and descendants like Haskell, OCaml, SML, F# and the like. It's such a good idea, that it's slowly making its way into new programming languages like Perl 6, Fortress, Factor, Scala, and future versions of C++, C#, and VB.Net.
So, really, the whole static-vs-dynamic languages debate is both misleading and moot. It's misleading, because it's not about static vs. dynamic typing, it's about weak compile-typing vs. runtime-typing. It's moot, because the writing is on the wall, and weakly typed languages are on the way out, to be replaced (eventually) by strongly-typed languages of one form or another. (It also tends to be a meaningless "debate", because it's typically a shouting match between C/C++/Java/etc. acolytes who are uncomfortable with Perl/Python/Ruby/etc., and Perl/Python/Ruby/etc. acolytes who have a strong distaste for C/C++/Java/etc., and neither group has a hope of persuading the other.)
Normally, I would avoid topic entirely, but today, I couldn't resist. Steve Yegge posted a transcription of his talk on dynamic languages, where he covers both sides of the debate, and moves beyond the two-sides-talking-past-each-other and uncovers the core issues. He covers the meat of the discussion, not the typical push-button issues that go nowhere and convince no one. (I think he misses the point behind Hindley-Milner, but that's an insignificant side issue.)
- Most of the work in compiler optimization in the last few decades has focused on weakly-typed static languages.
- Dynamic languages are, in general, slower, only because there has been relatively little research interest in making them faster.
- There are some interesting approaches to optimizing dynamic languages that are now ready for prime time. Much of this comes from Strongtalk, an effort to optimize Smalltalk that led to Java's HotSpot VM.
- Some of the "benefits" of "static" typing, like refactoring IDEs, aren't as good as they appear at first. Refactoring dynamic languages is different but IDEs could do about as good a job as they do for C++/C#/Java. Refactoring properly is a hard problem that no one has solved completely, yet.
- "Fast" is relative. C++ used to be the "fast" language because it compiles down to native code. But in a multicore world, C/C++ is becoming slow, because C/C++ programs cannot take advantage of multiple CPUs easily, unlike Java.
- Dynamic languages of the 1990s (Perl/Python/Ruby/Tcl) don't have a reasonable answer to scaling across CPUs, either.
- Making Java bytecode run quickly takes more work than you probably realized.
- Any sufficiently large system built with a static language will need to build in the kind of introspection that's available with a dynamic language and REPL. (Greenspun's Tenth Rule in action)
- It was easy for the industry to switch programming languages every decade or so, up until 1995. Today, the bar is higher, and the amount of effort invested in existing code makes it much more difficult to migrate to a new language and platform.
- Google has some of the most brilliant people and language designers in the industry, but they use C++, Java, Python and JavaScript, and none of the esoteric languages the smart kids love. This is because it's more important to standardize on a set of technologies and get stuff done than let the geeks run wild and free. But you probably knew that already. ;-)
Steve's talk is long and rambling, but certainly worth the time read or at least skim through.

Fertility Surprises Portend a More Populous Future
On World Population Day, the Worldwatch Institute examines the UN's latest demographic projections and their environmental implications
Washington, D.C.—World population reached 7.2 billion in mid-2013, according to United Nations demographers, with present and projected future growth propelled in part by unexpectedly high fertility in a number of developing countries. Based on current trends in global birth, death, and migration rates, the UN Populations Division projects a variety of future scenarios, with the three principal ones suggesting that world population will be somewhere between 6.8 billion and 16.6 billion at the end of this century. In the Worldwatch Institute's latest Vital Signs Online trend, President Robert Engelman discusses these latest projections and what they mean for the environment.
The UN demographers determined that 82.1 million people were added to the world's population in 2012—the highest annual increment since 1994. The new report, World Population Prospects: The 2012 Revision, dispels a widespread expectation that population growth would end "on its own" sometime in the second half of the twenty-first century. Rather, the new medium-fertility or best-guess scenario suggests the most likely outcome is that world could gain more than 10 million people in the year 2100 and close the century at 10.9 billion. The new projections suggest a global population of 9.6 billion by 2050—about 700 million people more than the 8.9 billion the UN Population Division had projected for 2050 just 10 years ago.
"Although the biggest surprise in the report came from the projections of faster future population growth than had been expected, these numbers actually have their roots in a surprise about the present," said Engelman. "Women in many developing countries are having more children today than UN demographers previously thought."
Indeed, the UN authors reported that they had raised by a full 5 percent their estimates of current fertility in 15 sub-Saharan African countries—including Nigeria, Niger, Ethiopia, and the Congo—where family size is already among the highest in the world.
Although the reasons behind the higher-than-expected fertility in many countries are not fully understood, they correlate well with recent government reluctance to give priority to and fund family planning services in some of the world's poorest countries. Spending on family planning services in developing countries by governments, wealthier donor governments and intergovernmental agencies has stagnated in recent years at around $4 billion annually. More than twice that is needed to reach the estimated 222 million women who are sexually active and do not want to become pregnant but are not using contraception. About two out of five pregnancies worldwide are unintended—in industrial countries as well as developing ones—and more than one in five births worldwide results from such pregnancies.
On perhaps the most positive note in the new projections, UN Population Division demographers believe that every country in the world is currently experiencing a longer life expectancy in the 2010-to-2015 period than between 2000 and 2010. They project continued improvement in life expectancy throughout the century, when all the new projection scenarios agree that life expectancy for the world will average 82 years, up from 70 years today.
Yet this rosy assessment of global longevity nine decades from now does not take into account changing environmental conditions worldwide. The UN demographers, like others who produce major population projections, decline to factor in the possibility that mortality trends will vary from recent history, making no mention of possible downward shifts in life expectancy due to climate change or any other environmental impacts of human activities.
Further highlights from the report:
- The new report estimates that the world's population is growing at about 1.15 percent annually, and—despite the higher-than-anticipated fertility in many countries—that the growth rate is continuing to slow.
- Most human beings—an even 60 percent—live in Asia, with Africa the second most populous region, followed by Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, North America, and Oceania.
- Approximately 96 percent of the growth is occurring in developing countries, with Asia accounting for 54 percent of that growth.
- The new UN "most likely" population projection foresees not just a long-lived human population of 10.9 billion in 2100 but one of 4.2 billion in Africa with a life expectancy of 77 years compared with 58 today.

US: SEC charges Goldman Sachs with civil fraud in subprime deal
The Securities and Exchange Commission Friday charged Goldman Sachs
& Co. and one of its executives with fraud in a risky offshore deal
backed by subprime mortgages that cost investors more than $1 billion.
The SEC also contends that Goldman allowed a client, Wall
Street hedge fund Paulson & Co., to help select the securities.
Paulson in turn bought insurance against the deal and when the
securities tanked, losing almost all their value, Paulson made a $1
billion profit.
The civil fraud charges were the first to be filed against
Goldman, the prestigious Wall Street investment-banking titan that's at
the center of multiple inquiries into the causes of the global financial
Paulson has acknowledged that it reaped a $3.7
billion profit by betting against the housing market as it nose-dived in
2006 and 2007.
The securities cited by the SEC were part of a series of
offshore sales known as ABACUS.
The Goldman executive, vice president Fabrice Tourre,
31, was principally responsible for structuring the ABACUS deal known as
2007-AC1, a so-called synthetic package in which investors didn't buy
any actual securities. Instead, they bet on the performance of a
specified bundle of home loans to marginally qualified borrowers.
The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York, charges Tourre with making "materially
misleading statements and omissions" to investors.
Cornelius Hurley, a former counsel to the Federal
Reserve Board who now heads the Boston University law school's Morin
Center for Banking and Financial Law, called the complaint "stunning"
and said it raises at least two questions:
Was this an isolated incident at Goldman, or did the firm engage
in similar "egregious" practices in other deals?
- Did other Wall Street firms engage in similar
"It appears that the financial 'protection' provided by
Goldman and described in the SEC complaint may have been more akin to
the kind of protection provided by organized crime," Hurley said.
McClatchy Newspapers, in a series published in November
about Goldman's role in the subprime lending disaster, found that
Goldman sold more than $40 billion in mortgages in 2006 and 2007 while
secretly betting on a housing downturn that would sink their value. It's
unclear whether any of those transactions have drawn SEC or Justice
Department scrutiny, but a Senate investigations panel has been
examining them.
McClatchy also reported in late December that Goldman
took initial positions in which it bet against the performance of at
least a dozen CDOs (collateralized debt obligations) that it assembled
and marketed through the Cayman Islands.
Robert Khuzami, the SEC's enforcement chief, was
asked on a conference call whether anyone higher up in Goldman might
face charges.
"We charged those that we felt appropriate, based on
the evidence and the law," Khuzami replied.
Goldman said in a statement: "The SEC's charges are
completely unfounded in law and fact and we will vigorously contest them
and defend the firm and its reputation."
The complaint alleged that Paulson, one of the world's
largest hedge funds, paid Goldman to assemble a deal in which Paulson
would select certain mortgage-backed securities and then take short
positions, or bet against them.
The marketing materials for the investment, known as
a collateralized debt obligation, all represented that the
mortgage-backed securities were selected by ACA Management LLC, a third
"The product was new and complex, but the deception
and conflicts are old and simple," Khuzami said in a statement. "Goldman
wrongly permitted a client that was betting against the mortgage market
to heavily influence which mortgage securities to include in an
investment portfolio, while telling other investors that the securities
were selected by an independent, objective third party."
The deal, one of about two dozen similar bundles in
the ABACUS series, closed on April 26, 2007. Paulson paid Goldman about
$15 million for structuring and marketing the deal. Within six months,
83 percent of the mortgage-backed securities in the bundle had been
downgraded and 27 percent were placed on negative watch by Wall Street
ratings agencies, the complaint said.
By the following Jan. 29, it said, 99 percent of the
portfolio had been downgraded, costing investors more than $1 billion.
Khuzami said that the Paulson firm, which is not
affiliated with former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, was not charged
because it did not mislead investors.
However, the complaint said that Goldman and Tourre "knew that
it would be difficult, if not impossible," to find investors for a
synthetic CDO if they disclosed that a short player, such as Paulson,
played a significant role in selecting the securities. Thus, they sought
a third party to play that role and approached ACA, calling it
"important that we can use ACA's branding" in an internal email.
The complaint quoted Tourre as saying a Jan. 27, 2007
email to a friend, written in French and English: "More and more
leverage in the system, The whole building is about to collapse anytime
now ... Only potential survivor, the fabulous Fab[rice Tourre] ... standing
in the middle of all of these complex, highly leveraged, exotic trades
he created without necessarily understanding all of the implications of
those monstruosities!!!"
A Feb. 11, 2007 email to Tourre from the head of
Goldman's structured product correlation trading desk said, "the cdo biz
is dead we don't have a lot of time left," the complaint said.
The SEC identified only one investor in the Abacus deal: IKB, a
commercial bank in Dusseldorf, Germany, lost nearly all of its $150
Friday's charges were the first to be filed by the SEC's
Structured and New Products Unit, formed to pursue abuses in highly
sophisticated deals, many of which were registered in the Cayman
Islands, where investors don't have to pay U.S. federal taxes.
Many of these deals are sliced according to risk, with
investors who take the greatest risk receiving the highest yield. In
deals that were partially or entirely synthetic, Goldman or some of its
clients would profit if the securities soured.
Goldman created a structured product correlation
trading desk around late 2004 or early 2005. A memo describing the
ABACUS 2007-AC1 transaction to the company's Mortgage Capital Committee
on March 12, 2007 stated that the "ability to structure and execute
complicated transactions to meet multiple clients' needs and objectives
is key for our franchise," the SEC complaint said.
Executing the deal "and others like it helps position
Goldman to compete more aggressively in the growing market for
synthetics written on structured products," it said.
At that point, Goldman was well on its way to ridding
itself of securities backed by risky home loans, a process that it's
acknowledged began in early December 2006.
Paulson & Co. was among a small number of U.S.
investors who foresaw the housing crash and bet heavily on it. According
to the complaint, Paulson came to believe that sub-investment grade,
and in some cases even higher-rated tranches of collateralized debt
obligations consisting of subprime mortgages, "would become worthless."
In late 2006 and early 2007, it said, Paulson
identified more than 100 mortgage bonds that it expected to collapse,
favoring those backed by loans to borrowers with low credit scores,
adjustable rate mortgages and located in the overheated real estate
markets such as Arizona, California, Florida and Nevada.
In early January, Tourre forwarded a list of 123
mortgage-backed bonds under the heading "Paulson Portfolio," leading to
negotiations between Paulson, Goldman and ACA over the final portfolio,
including a sizable number of those selected by Paulson.

hey, so I'm not new to stretching my ears, about 2 years ago I was at a 0G and I managed to blow my ears out while trying to go to 00G. long story short I had to take everything out for awhile and let it all heal up. I started from the beginning, like I had to get my ears pierced again. I have been at an 8G for over 6 months now, so I know it's not because I haven't waited long enough. Every time I go to try to use my 6G tapers (I had bought a sterling silver "kit" that had tapers + tunnels from 14G-00G) it will get half way and then it will start to hurt, and I'm definitely not going to risk blowing my ears out again so obviously I stop because it's not suppose to hurt at all. every time before I start trying I use warm water on my ear lobes to loosen it up and lube the taper up with some type of oil that I bought that's suppose to help with stretching, I just can't think of the name but I believe it starts with a J. Anyways I've been doing A LOT of google searching and apparently they don't make 7G anything. I thought to look for 7G because when I was going from a 2G to a 0G I had a bit of trouble so I found out you could get 1G and it worked wonderfully. After reading many articles and peoples input some one mentioned gauging rings(?) They said to look for 5G-8G taper rings, so I did some more googling and found nothing like what they were talking about.
(this is what they said
" I can definitively say that what you need is a gauge loop or a taper. It is a loop that smoothly transitions from a smaller gage to a largerg gauge without having to jump from one gauge size to another. It starts as a small point on one end of the loop and ends as a large gauge at the other end of the loop. You can usually find them in head shops, hot topic has them and most peircing shops have them
It might be hard to find the size you're looking for though you may have to order one from a magazine or online try doing a google search for "5 8 gauge tapers" you should get quite a bit of info")
Does anyone know where I could find this said "gauge loop" I'm willing to try anything. My goal since I was 15 was to just get to a 00G and now I'm 19 stuck at a damn 8G and it's really getting on my nerves now.
Sorry for such a long post for a very short question, but I figured I'd explain everything so there's less questions, plus I'm a talker and I ramble a lot.

New Bern aldermen reviewed city goals and objectives Tuesday night and heard about successes and discussed challenges the city is facing.
New Bern aldermen reviewed city goals and objectives Tuesday night and heard about successes and discussed challenges the city is facing.
Mike Epperson, city manager, gave a quarterly presentation of the city�s three major goals and many objectives.
The goals include continuing to improve the city�s financial health; create a smart customer focused organization to focus on priorities; and the transformation of the Five Points commercial corridor, the Greater Duffyfield neighborhoods and other distressed areas of the city, Epperson said.
To improve city�s finances, Epperson said, staff is trying to establish a minimum of 90 days cash-on-hand balance in each enterprise fund. That has been accomplished in the water fund, which is in excess of having 90 days of cash balance. The electric and sewer funds have about 53 and 84 days cash balance on hand respectively, he said.
In the past two years the city has reduced staff by 20 percent. In the past year the city has modified some of the positions. Both of those objectives were accomplished without reducing services, Epperson said.
The city is also in talks with Craven County, Havelock Trent Woods and River Bend to merge services, like branding, water service, a 911 center and establishing a Metropolitan Planning Organization, Epperson said.
Since the New Bern area now has a combined population of 50,000, it can be considered a MPO, which could open up additional funding for the area, Epperson said.
The goal is to implement the MPO in the spring, he said.
The city has also done preliminary work on an economic development strategic plan and hopes to set up a small advisory committee in a couple of weeks with at least three aldermen on the board, Epperson said.
One objective is the completion of a branding campaign to help recruit businesses, residents and tourism.
The city is also asking citizens to help with the branding campaign by taking a survey on its website at newbern-nc.org. The site says branding is more than a slogan or logo for the community; �it captures an experience for the people who live, work, play, and visit here.�
Epperson said the city hopes to implement a detailed capital improvements plan by the next budget and a general fund balance policy to increase reserve funds over the next two years.
According to the city�s current audit, the fund balance should be 25 percent next fiscal year compared to 7.8 percent two years ago, Epperson said.
Alderman Bernard White cautioned aldermen about spending funds frivolously once the balance becomes greater than 25 percent.
Epperson said reserve funds over 25 percent would probably be spent on employee benefits, like health insurance.
Another objective in the finance goal is creating a strategy based on the economic development strategic plan and branding campaign to market New Bern, Epperson said.
Six objectives outline the second goal to create a �smart customer-focused organization.�
They include emphasizing customer service as a core value; improving communication with the community; evaluating city-owned assets for efficiencies; being more proactive on storm water infrastructure; using talented volunteers in the community to help accomplish goals; and developing a city-wide comprehensive plan, Epperson said.
Objectives in the third goal drew most of the discussion from aldermen. One objective was to create an ordinance to ensure rental homes in economically depressed areas of the city are adequately insulated and meet minimum levels of energy efficiency.
Epperson said city staff and the city attorney are still evaluating if that can be done. That objective led to discussion on also enforcing a minimum housing code to deal with blighted properties.
Alderman Sabrina Bengel said there needs to be an ordinance with teeth in it.
Last year the city tried to clean up overgrown properties by cutting grass and weeds and charging property owners. But property owners just paid the city, using it almost as a service.
Bettis asked if there was some way to make property owners keep their yards clean.
�Something, so slumlords can�t keep slumming it up,� he said.
After questioning from Alderman Victor Taylor, Epperson said the city is trying to find the best way it can to keep up with minimal housing standards but it is more work than there is staff.
New Bern has 75 to 80 cases a month of violations and only one enforcer, Epperson said.
The state average is 50 to 60 violations per month, he said.
Alderman Dana Outlaw said there should be some way to motivate property owners to better insulate rental properties.
Bettis said it was a good idea and maybe they could get rental property owners to inform potential renters of heating costs.
Scott Davis, city attorney, said he talked to colleagues, searching for a way to address the issue, but hasn�t found the solution.
Epperson said it was a real challenge to get landlords to update their properties� energy efficiency.
A copy of the city�s goals and objective is also on the city�s web site.

New Feature - Now Displays Time In True Binary As Well As Powers Of Two Binary Mode! Woohoo!
It's easy for any self-respecting geek to figure out how to read this clock in a few minutes. Check out the image below for the details. Still don't get it? Then you probably shouldn't buy one, should you? Sure you could wing it and 'approximate' the time based on the position of the sun and act like you can read this clock, but you should probably go get one of these instead
Computers use on/off switches to tell the time, now you can too! Get one of these puppies and you are on your way to truly becoming one with the binary...
Each LED binary clock has these features/specs:
- Default mode displays time in 'Powers of Two' binary system

About NSILMike
From bad to worse...
Sorry... posted in wrong article.
What do you do to solve:
1) multiple TVs in the household (living room, and a bedroom or two?)
2) Cable only channels (local sports in my case...)
Yes, I know how to stream from a laptop to a compatible TV. That certainly helps...
Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how long you can wait...) this copyright/theft confusion is probably self-correcting. As the current generation grows up and moves into political and business positions of power, the lack of business model flexibility will disappear, new or evolving attitudes toward the value of copyright will become more prevalent, and so on.
Boy, oh boy do I hope you are right!
I think it's much more nuanced. An informed public really is important, and whistle blowing is absolutely correct in the appropriate circumstances. However there is also true value in many (not all) state secrets, and endangering confidants & informants, etc. is not in our nor obviously their best interests.
that would be a cell phone jammer, which would be illegal, and still would be unable to distinguish between driver and passengers.
the flaw in a velocity sensing mechanism is it cannot tell the difference between being in a car vs. something else like a train, nor can it tell if you are the driver or a passenger.
I think the government has plenty of folks who are aware of the streisand effect...
I think this is just the opening gambit in a potentially interesting legal game.
What options would exist for someone interested in live sports and news? I can see how this could replace content that is not time sensitive, but...?
no, in fact the commerce clause expressly grants congress the power to regulate commerce (which does not necessarily remove a concurrent state power to do so as well.)
good reference: http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/statecommerce.htm
If the keys can be copied, saved and then put back onto revised hardware, then isn't that a pretty loose DRM system? I thought DRM licenses were tied to unique system profiles specifically to prevent them from being shared... Or if it allows 'minor' hardware changes, you're still out of luck if you upgrade the complete PC.
Yes, obviously I agree it's difficult to know... I just wonder how secure one can be in the assumption that one is unlikely to by prosecuted (successfully or not!) for downloading and/or streaming. And, whether the law makes any distinction between streaming and downloading- in one case the file may be permanently loaded onto your PC, in the other it may be only temporary...but that seems like a slim legal difference. P2P sites are not interesting to me, so I am not worried about inadvertent sharing. I am interested in using Lala, Last.FM and many potential competitors...
OK...then he got me! Sheesh...
Donald- I think the jury is in on that... there is no fool proof DRM yet (or in the foreseeable future.)
Is streaming equivalent to downloading? If an internet user streams music or video from the growing multitude of sites, how could they make sure it is legal, or authorized?

Martyr Helimenas the Presbyter in Babylon
Saint Helimenas the priest was arrested with Saint Polychronius, Bishop of Babylon, the priests Parmenius and Chrysotelus, and two deacons, Luke and Mocius during the reign of Decius (249-251). They refused to offer sacrifice to idols when ordered to do so by the emperor, so they were thrown into prison.
After putting Saint Polychronius to death Decius left for the city of Kordula, and ordered that the three presbyters and two deacons be taken along. At Kordula he again demanded that the martyrs offer sacrifice to idols. Saint Parmenius, despite his missing tongue, loudly and firmly refused.
Believing that Saint Parmenius was able speak through some sort of magic power, Decius increased the tortures and ordered that the confessors be burned with fire. Then a Voice was heard from Heaven, "Come to Me, ye humble of heart." Decius believed that this was also the work of magic, and he ordered the priests and deacons beheaded with an axe.

TheFunded.com News
Posted by donAdeo on 2013-03-07
The Founder Showcase, now in it's 13th edition, is TheFunded.com's pitch and networking event for early-stage startups and investors. To kick off 2013, the first Showcase of the new year will be an exclusive, investor-focused event centered around the theme: "The Future of Funding".
What are the most radical trends we are seeing in angel investment and venture capital? Was the dreaded "Series-A Crunch" overblown, or just getting started? How will crowdfunding mature in 2013 and beyond? On March 27th, we will gather top investors to discuss these issues, and provide their thoughts on what to expect for tomorrow.
And, we have just confirmed our first keynote speaker: Chris Dixon, Investing Partner at Andreessen Horowitz. Before recently moving to the Bay Area to become their newest Partner, Chris was a leader of the burgeoning New York City startup scene, where he co-founded, and was the former CEO of two startups; SiteAdvisor (acquired by McAfee in 2006), and Hunch (acquired by eBay in 2011). As an investor, Chris also co-founded Founder Collective, a seed venture fund, where he made early stage investments in GroupMe, Buzzfeed, Betaworks, and MakerBot. He also recently won a Crunchie for "2012 Angel of the Year" to recognize his stellar track record as an angel investor, with a personal portfolio that includes Foursquare, Kickstarter, Stripe, Warby Parker, Pinterest, OMGPOP, Behance, Stack Overflow, and more.

How to apply
Step 1: find out what's required
Universities in Canada each set their own admission requirements. Once you have decided where to apply, contact the registrar or admissions office at each institution to find out exactly what's required in their application package. Most Canadian universities provide this information online, and usually have a special website section for international student admission requirements.
Requirements and supporting documents
Most university and college programs have a minimum admission average and specific course requirements; therefore, the main required supporting documents are official high school transcripts (or any post-secondary transcripts, if relevant). Additionally, letters of reference, an essay or letter of intent, résumé, medical form, criminal record check, portfolio, etc. may be required, as specified by a particular institution or program. Each university will provide specific details and instructions on what they require. International students are generally required to submit proof of English proficiency through standardized language test scores. Different universities accept different tests and require different scores, so be sure to find out the specifics.
International students must also show that the quality of the education they received is comparable to that of Canadian institutions. Universities in Canada each have their own criteria for recognizing international student qualifications. Therefore, applicants should contact the university's admissions office to ask about assessing international qualifications. They will inform you about requirements for translation of your documents into English and exactly what qualifications they recognize. Applicants can also contact the Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials (CICIC) for information or recognition and portability of academic qualifications. Some international students choose to consult one of Canada's international credentials evaluation services (also known as international qualifications assessment services), listed below. These agencies charge a fee from around $100- $200 C$.
Step 2: know when to apply
Canada's universities are competitive and popular; therefore, it's good to prepare and apply early. Generally, international students should apply to a Canadian university up to eight months in advance of the expected start date (usually September or January semesters), However, many universities have "rolling-admissions" which means that they consider international students' applications as they come in throughout the year. Some universities in Canada have specific application deadlines for international students that differ from local student deadlines, so make sure to find out which deadline applies to you.
Step 3: submit your application
Many Canadian university applications involve downloading an online undergraduate application form and submitting it either by post or electronically, along with the supporting documents described in the section above. This step also usually includes submitting a non-refundable application fee (usually between $50- $100) which must be received by the institution before their particular deadline. For universities in the province of Ontario, applications are sent to a provincial university application centre website, with supporting documents later sent directly to the institution by the specified deadline. If you are submitting the application by post, make sure to leave enough time for the package to arrive at the university in Canada by the specified deadline.
If your application is accepted, the university will make you an admission offer. Once you accept the admission offer, the university will send you an official letter of acceptance.

10 things to consider when traveling in the Australian Outback
Australian Outback Travel can be very rewarding, especially when you do your homework. below are 10 things to consider when planning an Outback Holiday:
1/ Be organized and do your homework. Know the areas you will be visiting so there are no nasty surprises;
2/ Be prepared for the unexpected, understand road conditions and road closures, contact the local road transport authorities to check if there have been any problems with roads before going there. It will save a lot of time and unnecessary effort. NB. being caught on a closed road is a fine of $1500.00 AUD per wheel on the ground i.e. $6000.00 per car Ouch!!!;
3/ Carry at least 10 litres of drinking water per person in case of emergency or breakdown. Drink lots of water and keep your body hydrated. By the time you realize you are thirsty, you are already on the way to being dehydrated;
4/ if you plan on doing a bit of bush walking, choose comfortable, light, enclosed shoes to protect your feet. If you can afford it, waterproof shoes are a definite advantage in wetter climates;
5/ When traveling in small groups using only 1 vehicle, prepare your vehicle for breakdowns. Carry spare fan belts and radiator hoses and at least 2 spare wheels if traveling in remote or isolated regions;
6/ Avoid where possible, dawn, dusk and night time travel, there are more than a few good reasons and playing it safe might just be good insurance for a fun and memorable trip. no-one likes pulling roadkill out from under their vehicles;
7/ Wear a broad brimmed hat. You perspire a large percentage of your body fluids from your head. covering it helps to keep you from dehydrating, and also stops you getting sunburned ears and neck;
8/ If traveling in remote areas, call ahead and let people at your next accommodation spot that you are coming. Tell them when you plan to arrive and which route you will be taking. Make sure to check in with them when you arrive so they don't send out a search party. Stick to your route. if it changes, let the accommodation place know;
9/ If possible, carry extra fuel with you. if your fuel tank is breached by a rock, plug it with something, (in an emergency i have heard that soap will do) and then you can top up with your fuel reserve;
10/ Go to a cheap shop and buy a couple of tarps. They won't cost you too much and you can use them for a stack of things including temporary shade in case you break down in the middle of treeless country. they can also prove a great windbreak if you need it.

VERMONT — Without Gregory Sanford, Vermont history just wouldn't be the same.
For 30 years, he's been the state archivist, preserving, organizing, cataloguing — and pondering — the documents that underpin the existence of the state we call Vermont. He's been equal parts crusader and visionary, enthusiastically at home in an arcane, fascinating field that is distant from most of us — and yet, ever-present in our lives. For without our history, what are we?

After the action at Port Natal, Bell's 'peaceable old Conch' was on her way back to Algoa Bay by mid-July 1842, bearing a letter from Colonel Cloete (commanding the 25th Regiment) giving details of what had occurred in the previous weeks. The beleaguered garrison at
had been relieved and the trekker forces had withdrawn on Pietermaritzburg.
The British flag run up so hastily (and initially, in error, upside down) at Port Natal on 26 June 1842 was there to stay and within three years Natal would be annexed formally as a British Crown Colony.
It's doubtful whether Captain Bell realized the full import of what had happened or even of his part in the conflict. He had simply been in the right place at the right time and, taking a characteristically spontaneous decision, volunteered to do what he perceived to be his duty.
News of events at Port Natal spread like wildfire through the Cape Colony and Britain, the Governor, Sir George Napier, writing to the Secretary of State, Lord Stanley, to call His Lordship's attention 'to the spirited conduct of Mr. Bell the master of the schooner Conch of which Colonel Cloete speaks in much praise'. Virtually overnight,
had sprung from obscure mariner to local hero: he was, in today's parlance, a
celebrity. Bell

AFC West Preview
P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }H2 { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } Baring any injuries, this is the one division that will head into this season with an absolute, obvious favorite to finish first. The Denver Broncos, an apparent Super Bowl contender again and the clear class of the AFC West right now. The NFC West has the San Francisco-Seattle rivalry, while teams like Green Bay, New England, Houston, Atlanta and Baltimore can make their claims as the teams to beat in their respective divisions. But none stands as far from the pack as Denver does in the AFC West.
Kansas City, Oakland and San Diego all made dramatic changes to their coaching staffs and rosters — the Raiders, specifically, all but scrapped their entire starting lineup on defense in favor of new blood.
Denver Broncos
Key moves: Signed WR Wes Welker, G Louis Vazquez, NT Terrance Knighton, CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie; drafted RB Montee Ball, DT Sylvester Williams, DE Quanterus Smith; lost RB Willis McGahee, WR Brandon Stokley, DE/OLB Elvis Dumervil, DT Justin Bannan, LB Keith Brooking, LB D.J. Williams, CB Tracy Porter; promoted Adam Gase to offensive coordinator
Where they got better: Wide receiver. No offense to Stokley, a solid receiver and a player Peyton Manning adores, but guys like Wes Welker don't just walk in off the street very often. No player in football has more catches than Welker's 672 since 2007 — a stretch that has seen him top 110 receptions five times. The thought of Welker as the No. 3 receiver on a team stockpiled with Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker will be enough to cause AFC West defensive coordinators nightmares. This is arguably the best WR group in football; at the very least, it's a top-three unit.
Where they got worse: Defensive end. The Broncos certainly could do worse than starting Robert Ayers, then dropping Shaun Phillips at end in pass-rushing situations. Still, any mix-and-match pairing will be hard-pressed to replace Elvis Dumervil, whom the Broncos lost following a fax snafu. Dumervil's overall play has started to slip, but he still had 11.0 sacks last season and remains a feared rusher. Phillips and fifth-round draft pick Quanterus Smith were fine consolation prizes, but the Broncos may rue Dumervil's departure and their subsequent inability to court a player like Dwight Freeney.
Breakout player: Nate Irving, LB. It's Irving, not Joe Mays, in line to start at middle linebacker in the Broncos' 4-3 scheme. Despite Irving having all of 17 tackles in his career (13 last season), the N.C. State product has won the coaches' trust and is talented enough to rack up a hefty tackle total.
Where they stand: The Broncos are in Super Bowl-or-bust mode — even more so after they collapsed late in a playoff loss to Baltimore last season. Though the the rest of the division may have improved, the Broncos are the odds-on favorites and really should have the AFC West locked up well before Week 17. What happens from there could depend on if the secondary can keep it together, as well as if Manning can find that extra gear he missed throughout 2012. Week 1 features a showdown with the defending champion Ravens, a game that could hold significance when it comes to figuring playoff home-field advantage.
Kansas City Chiefs
Key moves: Signed WR Donnie Avery, TE Anthony Fasano, G Geoff Schwartz, DE Mike DeVito, LB Akeem Jordan, CB Sean Smith, CB Dunta Robinson; traded for QB Alex Smith; drafted OT Eric Fisher, TE Travis Kelce, RB Knile Davis, LB Nico Johnson; CB Sanders Commings; lost QB Matt Cassel, RB Peyton Hillis, WR Steve Breaston, OT Eric Winston, G Ryan Lilja, DT Glenn Dorsey, CB Javier Arenas, S Abram Elam; hired head coach Andy Reid, OC Doug Pederson, DC Bob Sutton, consultants Chris Ault and Brad Childress
Where they got better: Quarterback. Naysay all you want, but Smith completed 61.3 percent of his passes in 2011 and a whopping 70.2 percent, prior to injury, in 2012. Placed in an offense that properly uses him, Smith can be efficient and effective. Andy Reid seems determined to provide Smith with just such an environment, too, as he's brought on pistol innovator Chris Ault and has been toying with that formation, among others. Having a legitimate No. 1 quarterback will be a godsend for the Chiefs following a season that saw Matt Cassel and Brady Quinn slop their way to a 2-14 record.
Where they got worse: Inside linebacker, possibly. The honest answer is that the Chiefs are no worse at any spot than they were to close 2012 — remember, this was a 2-14 team that finished dead last in points scored and 25th in points allowed. From a personnel standpoint (and it's hardly that important given the circumstances), the Chiefs have not recovered from Jovan Belcher's tragic murder-suicide in December. They have Akeem Jordan penciled in as the starter next to Derrick Johnson at inside linebacker, but there is little in Jordan's background to indicate he can handle that starting job for 16 games.
Breakout player: Travis Kelce, TE. The Chiefs rolled the dice in Round 3 on Kelce, who carried some red flags into the draft. That gamble could pay off in a big way. Kelce should see plenty of playing time, and he has the athletic ability to thrive in Andy Reid's West Coast attack.
Where they stand: Seemingly every season in the NFL, a team bounces back from a last-place finish to make the playoffs. Are the Chiefs the 2013 Cinderella? Granted, it is a massive leap from 2-14 to the playoffs, so let's start a little more slowly: Kansas City could have an elite secondary after adding CBs Sean Smith and Dunta Robinson; RB Jamaal Charles might bust loose in Reid's scheme; Smith has developed into an impressive QB, and he's behind what might be a very solid O-line; the receivers and defensive front seven have ample talent. This may not be a 10-win team, but a minimum of six wins is realistic.
Oakland Raiders
Key moves: Signed RB Rashad Jennings, WR/KR Joshua Cribbs, DT Pat Sims, DT Vance Walker, DE Jason Hunter, OLB Nick Roach, LB Kaluka Maiava, OLB Kevin Burnett, CB Tracy Porter, CB Mike Jenkins, S Charles Woodson, S Usama Young; traded for QB Matt Flynn; drafted CB D.J. Hayden, OT Menelik Watson, QB Tyler Wilson; lost QB Carson Palmer, RB Mike Goodson, WR Darrius Heyward-Bey, TE Brandon Myers, G Cooper Carlisle, DE Matt Shaughnessy, DT Richard Seymour, DT Desmond Bryant, DT Tommy Kelly, OLB Phillip Wheeler, LB Rolando McClain, S Michael Huff, S Matt Giordano; hired OC Greg Olson, DC Jason Tarver
Where they got better: The secondary. Almost a total overhaul here (as with pretty much the rest of the roster). Safety Tyvon Branch is really the lone holdover from last year's group, with D.J. Hayden, Charles Woodson, Tracy Porter, Mike Jenkins and Usama Young all expected to play various roles. Oakland will ask a lot of Hayden, who had a near-fatal injury in college. The Raiders took him earlier in the draft (No. 12 overall) than most expected him to go. But the Hayden-Jenkins-Porter pairing might be fairly formidable. Does Woodson have anything left in the tank? The Raiders hope so, but props to them for adding Young as insurance.
Where they got worse: Wide receiver. Darrius Heyward-Bey never lived up to his billing with the Raiders, but Oakland also did little to replace the 105 receptions he delivered over the past two seasons. The top four at this position form an intriguing unit: Denarius Moore, Jacoby Ford, Juron Criner and Rod Streater. If Moore can handle No. 1 duties, Streater builds on his 39-catch 2012 and at least one other WR develops, the Raiders may not even feel the loss of Heyward-Bey all that much. In the interim, though, they're down a player who started 41 games over the previous three seasons. Bringing in Joshua Cribbs and seventh-round pick Brice Butler hardly plugs Heyward-Bey's absence.
Breakout player: Rod Streater, WR. See above. The Raiders have a need at WR, and Streater came through with 39 catches after being an undrafted free agent last season. There probably is not a better option for Oakland's No. 2 job, meaning Streater could see a lot of passes thrown his direction.
Where they stand: Your guess is as good as any. Did you read that list of key transactions above? It's like the "War and Peace" of offseason moves. Aside from a few key contributors — that handful of WRs, Darren McFadden, Branch, Lamarr Houston, the offensive line — the Raiders mostly wiped the slate clean after 2012. The roster has more talent than it did last season, but how long will it take QB Matt Flynn (or Tyler Wilson) to get in a groove and what will be the learning curve for a defense with up to nine new starters? Coming off a 4-12 campaign, it feels as if the Raiders have laid the groundwork to be competitive over the next few seasons … but they may take some more lumps this year.
San Diego Chargers
Key moves: Signed RB Danny Woodhead, OT Max Starks, G Chad Rinehart, G Rich Ohrnberger, DE Jarius Wynn, DE/OLB Dwight Freeney, CB Derek Cox; drafted OT D.J. Fluker, LB Manti Te'o, WR Keenan Allen, CB Steve Williams; lost OT Jared Gaither, G Louis Vasquez, DT Aubrayo Franklin, DT Antonio Garay, OLB Shaun Phillips, LB Takeo Spikes, CB Antoine Cason, CB Quentin Jammer, S Atari Bigby; hired head coach Mike McCoy, OC Ken Whisenhunt, DC John Pagano
Where they got better: The offensive line. Louis Vasquez was a flower in a trash heap last season, playing well on the interior for a patchwork line that allowed 49 sacks of Philip Rivers. He's a Bronco now, leaving Chad Rinehart or Rich Ohrnberger to take his spot. That switch probably scores as a downgrade, but the Chargers' signing of Max Starks and draft choice of D.J. Fluker, for their two tackle spots, makes up for it. Starks is far from a Hall of Famer, but he'll help on the left side; Fluker could be dominant on the right. The Chargers even have some depth now, with Ohrnberger, King Dunlap, David Molk and others. The line remains a work in progress, but the Chargers at least are moving in the right direction now.
Where they got worse: The defensive line. Well, maybe not worse, but the Chargers unquestionably have less proven depth here. That's mostly thanks to the exits of Aubrayo Franklin and Antonio Garay from the middle of the Chargers' 3-4 front. Cam Thomas will try to take their place, with Corey Liuget and Kendall Reyes flanking him. Thomas is the veteran of that trio, with three years experience. San Diego badly needs Jarius Wynn to pitch in some meaningful snaps at end, and the Chargers will spend training camp attempting to find someone to help Thomas at nose tackle — UDFA Kwame Geathers, at 6-foot-6 and 355 pounds, might be the ticket.
Breakout player: Marcus Gilchrist, S. The Chargers have shifted Gilchrist around, from cornerback to safety, during his first two seasons. His move to safety has been made official, for the time being, and he has the inside track to start alongside the outstanding Eric Weddle. And Weddle's consistent presence will allow Gilchrist to roam a bit, giving him a chance to contribute both against the run and as a deep pass defender.
Where they stand: Perhaps more so than any other team in the league, the Chargers needed a shot in the arm. The coaching change from Norv Turner to Mike McCoy could do the trick. This is a roster in flux, however, with growing questions about Rivers' future as the team's quarterback. It's somewhat amazing that the Chargers won as many games as they did (7) last season, given their warts. From that pure won-loss perspective, they're not far from the playoffs. The roster, especially shaky at WR and CB, tells a bit of a different story, even as San Diego attempts to rebuild on the fly and contend.

The owners of Club 152 on Beale Street and prosecutors with the Shelby County District Attorney General's office have been talking since the club was shut down a week ago as a public nuisance.
The owners of Beale Street's Club 152 have been talking to prosecutors in hopes of reopening the club shut down last week.
(Daily News File Photo)
Both sides are due back before General Sessions Environmental Court Judge Larry Potter Thursday, May 21.
Attorney Ted Hansom, representing Club 152 Operating LLC, said he and prosecutor Paul Hagerman have been talking about conditions that could lead to the reopening of the club.
"We have some common ground in the sense that from the club's standpoint, we don't want any drug dealing going on there," Hansom said. "If it is, we want to help them stop it. But we're working towards addressing the things that they have been concerned about."
The West Tennessee Drug Task Force closed the club under an injunction following a six-month undercover investigation. A Bartlett police officer working undercover said he bought drugs repeatedly in the three-level club, sometimes from employees. The nuisance petition approved by Potter also cited numerous police calls to the club for fights.
Hansom represents an ownership group that includes Memphis Convention and Visitors Bureau President Kevin Kane as well as Bud Chittom, one of the most experienced restaurant and nightclub operators in the city including the nearby Blues City Café, and Charlie Ryan, whose other ventures include several businesses in the Cooper-Young district of Midtown.
Club 152 was shut down on the opening day of the Memphis in May International Festival's World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest.
The month-long set of events in Tom Lee Park generates some of the largest crowds for the Beale Street entertainment district of the busy summer season.
"Certainly the state is aware of the impact on the people," Hansom said after Tuesday's brief update in court. "That's not their motive here. Both sides at this point are working vigorously to resolve the matter and get these people back to work."
Both sides as well as Potter agreed Tuesday that the owners and their employees would have access to the club without reopening it for business to take care of maintenance matters within the building.
"That's sort of standard procedure on these cases," Hagerman said. "If there's any repair or maintenance or meetings they need to have, then that's fine and we agree to that."
The closing of the club is similar to the 2007 nuisance closing of The Tap Room, another Beale Street bar. In that case, the club reopened after agreeing to take further steps to stop drug dealing in the club following a similar undercover investigation by the same multi-agency task force.

Chrysler will add a diesel option for the Ram 1500 pickup, making it the only automaker to offer the high-mileage technology on a half-ton truck. It could be a significant additional inducement the announcement coming barely a month after the Ram 1500 was named North American Truck of the Year.
But Chrysler may not be the only maker to market a diesel standard-duty pickup for long. General Motors is reportedly considering such an option for its newly redesigned Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra models, while Toyota and Nissan may add diesels when their redesigned Tundra and Titan models reach market.
Meanwhile, diesels are rapidly gaining ground in other market segments. Chevrolet last week unveiled its new Cruze Diesel, the first passenger car model from General Motors' largest brand to offer the powertrain technology since 1996. Mazda will add a diesel for its new Mazda6 later this year. And even Ford's long-standing resistance to diesel power in U.S. passenger cars finally may be crumbling.

My time for knitting is at an all time low. Graduate school has gotten much better but that means that I'm working much, much harder. I felt pretty much gobsmacked for most of my last semester, for a number of reasons, but mainly because I felt so behind in so many ways. The body of theoretical knowledge I was expected to be conversant in was just vast and the tactics of being a graduate student don't reveal themselves easily. Anyhow, I'm finally in my element doing work on consumer culture and though I'm pretty much working (reading, writing, grading, holding office hours or attending lecture) around the clock I'm happy. It probably has something to do with the massive amount of online shopping I do during my breaks! Mostly, I window shop and make carts that I abandon, but I have made a jusssst a few sock yarn purchases.
Since so many of them come in 100g hanks I started to worry about running out. I followed the lead of a very inspiring fellow scholar and got scientific. I bought a little scale! My finished Jaywalker weighed in a 52g.
I put my OTHER set of Knitpicks DPNs and a duplicate "stitch marker" onto the scale to set my tare for the other sock in progress. Why do I have a stand-in set of needles? I love the Knitpicks needles so much that I bought a second set of all the sizes I'll use for socks. Those suckers get lost, and with all the sock yarn I'm buying I didn't want to risk not having a full set at any given moment. The needles are just as pointy as Inox needles but they have a much smoother finish. I've always felt that the Inox needles were almost gritty. To borrow from Grumperina, Blunti Stumpos had a much faster finish until I met the Knitpicks needles. Because the points are so sharp I've started to break my habit of tapping/pushing the top of the needle to move stitches forward! I win. Anyhow, the metal parts of my sock in progress weighed 17g:
I hit tare to bring it to zero:
And then plopped my second sock and alarmingly teeny ball of yarn onto the scale. Guess what? I'm fine! I would have never been able to 'eyeball' this on my own. I highly recommend this for nervous knitters.
Oh, and did I mention? I'm finally at the fun part of Enid! Sleeve island wasn't so bad, but I did have a slight mishap. I'm knitting the body is knit on size 3 Addis. Everyone at the Knitalong was complaining that the sleeves were coming out far too large, they were changing stitch counts and all sorts of mess...I decided to be lazy and just drop my needle size! I ended up magic looping with Inox, 2.5mm, that size that is basically 1.5 US. It was perfect until I fell in love with the Knitpicks needles and switched to those. I wish I had a picture to show you how dramatic the difference was. They were the same exact size so I'm guessing the texture alone changed my gauge and the appearance of the stitches, too. I knit almost a whole sleeve figuring the difference wouldn't be noticeable after blocking but Eric convinced me to rip it out and start again with the Inox. I'm glad I did, it was hilariously 'before and after' looking and even non-knitters would've spotted the weird demarcation.
Wow--that was a ton of actual knitting content! Who knew I had it in me?! I promise the next post will be a return to the tangential...we'll be talking diets and Montreal! See you soon.

Jaguars owner Shad Khan is happy to take his football team to London once a year.
Now he has a football team in London every day.
Khan confirmed Friday that he had purchased the English soccer club Fulham, with the deal to be announced tomorrow.
"I do not view myself so much as the owner of Fulham, but a custodian of the club on behalf of its fans," he said in a statement, via Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union. "Fulham is the perfect club at the perfect time for me."
In many respects, Fulham is kind of the same team he already owns. While Fulham resides in London, it's not one of the biggest clubs in the Premier League (12th in the 20-team league last year, with a 25,000-seat stadium). And while they have a few good players on the roster, they're not close to challenging for a title soon (Dimitar Berbatov is the Maurice Jones-Drew of the Premier League, or something).
And while people will speculate about the Jaguars becoming full-time residents, that's not necessarily any more likely to happen now than it would be for the Rams to move since Stan Kroenke owns Arsenal or the Buccaneers by virtue of the Glazer family owning Manchester United.
It's simply a bargain-rate entry into a league which keeps getting richer and richer.

In Cub Scout packs, Akela (pronounced Ah-KAY-la) means "Good Leader". Akela is a symbol of wisdom, authority, and leadership. Akela is anyone who acts as a leader to the Scout. Akela can be a Cubmaster, Den Leader, parent or teacher depending on where the guidance takes place. In den meetings, it is the Den Leader who is Akela. During pack meetings it is the Cubmaster. At home, the parents fill this role.
Baden-Powell chose Kipling's Jungle Book as a source of symbolism and allegorical framework for the youngest members of the Scouting movement. Many references are made to this story in the Cub Scout section, including the "Council Rock" for discussions and planning, and the "Grand Howl" to express a sense of belonging and team spirit.
Cub scout packs use an oath called the "Law of the Pack" to show allegiance and demonstrate their relationship to Akela and the pack:
| The Cub Scout follows Akela
The Cub Scout helps the pack go
The pack helps the Cub Scout grow
The Cub Scout gives goodwill
