A stoppage time strike from Abdul Osman won the points for visitors Partick Thistle as Saints couldn't get the win they needed to move into 2nd place in the Scottish Premiership.
Kris Doolan had opened the scoring for the Jags in the 17th minute but Steven MacLean, who returned to the team after not featuring in Wednesday's draw at Rangers, replied within a minute to pull Saints level before Osman's late winner.
Saints headed into Saturday's clash with Partick Thistle looking to build on their well deserved point at Ibrox midweek. Goalscorer Blair Alston dropped to the bench for Graham Cummins, Steven MacLean replaced Chris Kane, and Wotherspoon came in for Chris Millar.
Partick kicked off, with Saints starting the first half shooting into the North Stand, and Brian Easton bailed out the hosts after just a minute making a crucial sliding challenge inside the six yard box.
Danny Swanson carved out Saints first chance, weaving through the Partick ranks in his trademark style, but his curling effort from 18 yards was held by Stuckmann.
Cummins then came close when Paul Paton played a second ball into the box which the Irishman controlled well, but the striker couldn't find MacLean to finish the move.
But it was Alan Archibald's side who opened the scoring on 16 minutes as Liam Craig conceded a free kick, and the set piece was poked home by Doolan. 0-1.
However Saints were level in under a minute as excellent control from Wotherspoon saw the winger feed MacLean to tap in his second goal against the Jags this season. 1-1.
Zander Clark then rescued Saints after 26 minutes when a deflected Elliott cross looked to be heading into the top corner, but the stopper kept the scores level with an excellent dive to his left.
Just after half an hour, excellent linkup between Swanson and Shaughnessy saw the defender pull of a fine curling effort from 15 yards, but keeper Stuckmann held comfortably.
After a quiet end to the half, Cook blew for the interval with the scores level. Half time: St Johnstone 1-1 Partick Thistle.
Saints got the second half underway, and although it began fairly uneventfully, David Wotherspoon crashed a cross from the touchline off the crossbar as the Thistle defence watched in awe.
Thistle came close as Doolan's strike from the edge of the area on the hour mark was parried back into play by Clark, but the rebound was skied by Ryan Edwards.
Saints made their first change on 63 minutes as Chris Kane replaced Cummins.
Clark pulled off a stunning save to prevent Edwards putting Thistle back in front as he blocked the Australian's effort bravely.
Saints second change came with 20 minutes to go as Michael Coulson replaced Danny Swanson. Meanwhile, Thistle switched Doolan for Erskine.
Saints final change was to bring on Alston for Wotherspoon.
Michael Coulson came close late on with a powerful drive from distance, but the Englishman's shot just soared over.
Partick brought on Amoo for Azeez with less than five minutes to go in their hunt for a late winner.
As injury time loomed, Shaughnessy leapt highest to meet a Paton free kick, but the defender couldn't find the target with his effort.
But it was Partick who got the late winner, through Abdul Osman as Amoo beat Craig to deliver a low cross to the captain's feet.
And it finished 2-1 to the visitors as a late flourish of pressure from Saints proved fruitless. Full time: St Johnstone 1-2 Partick Thistle.

Well there was a recent flurry of activity as google released more information about it's new operating system "Chrome OS". Basically this "OS" is simply a web browser that is installed on the bare metal with the minimum amount of guff required for networking and drivers.
At first I thought "what a load of rubbish, it will never work!" but after thinking about it a little I think they might have a winner on their hands. I have to admit to spending 90+% on "the internet" so it makes sense to strip out all the unnecessary OS guff that makes computers insecure. This means you can do away with all the updating, defragging, monitoring etc etc, which personally is fantastic thing. I want the computer to be a tool and just get out of the way and let me get on with whatever it is i'm doing. Time spent updating and maintaining my computer is time wasted.
The other 10% of stuff though is the unknown. Things like editing videos, burning dvd's, making photo albums, plus the whole host of downloadable applications that are niche (such as astronomy applications) all wont work on Chrome OS as they are not web pages. Indeed anything that you do OUTSIDE the browser wont work on Chrome.
The reveal also included the surprise that google will only be releasing Chrome OS on dedicated hardware devices. i.e. you wont be able to download Chrome OS and install it on your own netbook (although you can download the open source version chromium os and build it yourself). The main reason for this is that in order to get the boot times down to like 5 seconds (or less) google are using custom BIOS firmwares. They are also insisting on SSD only which kind of makes sense as the foot print of Chrome is tiny, a few hundred meg. I can see a 4Gb CF card being plenty for this type of device.
All in all I think the next year or so will be an interesting one seeing how things develop and how much uptake we will see. I do think though that in 5 years time this type of device will be less than £100 and well into impulse purchase territory and most households will have at least one of these style of devices.

These Boots Were Made for Walkin'
This morning, she put her boots on over her footed pj's while I was doing the dishes. I'm getting ready to get my camera out to snap a shot and I hear "naked" from my 2 year old's mouth. I turn around and see her whip her diaper off, look at me and smile. This is the first time she's stripped and I'm sure it won't be the last. She was full of joy at her accomplishment and so happy to be naked. She put her cowgirl boots back on and preceeded to play. Oh what fun to be naked! Did I get pictures? You bet! However, for obvious reasons I won't share them with y'all. I set my camera down only to hear the word I was dreading..."pee"! She was delighted. I hated to steal her thunder but calmly explained that while mistakes happen, it's best to go to the potty when we need to pee or poop. The diaper and clothes made it quickly on to my girl. So did the boots.

By Dr. Alan Carlos Hernandez on February 14, 2010
HOLLYWOOD (Herald de Paris) – Willie Colû°n is an international Latin Music superstar and one of the founding fathers of the genre of music called ãSalsa.ãô This New York City Bronx-born of Puerto Rican grandparents has fused his musical talent, his passion for humanity, and his community and political activism into an extraordinary and multifaceted career.ô He is, for many, a spokesman for a generation.
Colû°n's achievements are widely recognized.ô As musician, composer, arranger, singer, and trombonist, as well as producer and director, Colû°n still holds the all time record for sales.ô He has createdô forty productions that have sold more than thirty million records worldwide.ô Colû°n's collaboration with Ruben Blades, "Siembra," is the biggest selling album of all time for this genre.ô His collaboration with Hector LaVoe of the film El Cantante fame, was the milestone that spread this fusion of tropical/urban music throughout Latin America and around the world.ô He hasô eleven Grammy nominations, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Latin Grammys, fifteen gold and five platinum records, and has collaborated with such musical greats as the Fania All Stars, Rubûˋn Blades, David Byrne, and Celia Cruz.
Colû°n's music, which has powerfully influenced Latin jazz, reflects both rhythmic traditional lyrics and the cries of farewell and hope from a new generation, pressured to abandon their homeland to congregate in urban America.ô During his musical and cultural odyssey from the Bronx to the world scene, he moved from a fascination with the tropical paradise of his ancestors to the stark street images of rebellious youth and social struggle and finally to a mature fusion of joy and injustice, beauty and suffering, romance and realism. Colû°n has become an articulate and responsible public figure – clever at injecting political messages into his music without becoming overbearing.ô He has been a visiting professor and lecturer at many prestigious colleges and universities.ô He is now a mainstay on social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter.
In 1991 Colû°n was awarded Yale University's CHUBB Fellowship, a political recognition he shares with the late John F. Kennedy, Moshe Dyane, Jesse Jackson, Ronald Reagan, and George Bush.
In 1993 he participated in the Presidential Inaugural Ceremonies, and in the following year, President Clinton invited Colû°n to become a member of the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities.ô He declined this distinction in order to run in New York State's 17th Congressional District primary.ô In 1995 he became the first minority to serve on the prestigious ASCAP National Board of Trustees and is now a member of the ASCAP Foundation.ô In 1996 he was nominated as one of the 100 most Influential U.S. Hispanics by Hispanic Business Magazine.ô In 1997 Willie Colû°n became a spokesperson for the international relief and development organization CARE and visited sites in Bolivia on their behalf.ô In late 1997- early 1998 Colû°n appeared in the recurring role of Feliciano Pintor, a Puerto Rican DEA agent in the TV Azteca soap "Demasiado Corazû°n."
Willieãs new CD release also titled "Demasiado Corazû°n" (Azteca Music) has been climbing the charts in Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico (currently available for U.S. and European distribution).
In November 1998 Colû°nô and Blades made history again with the Amnesty International Concert at la Carlota Airport in Caracas, Venezuela where more than 141,000 tickets were sold.
In 1999 he opened Salû°n 21 in Mexico City, one of the finest grand live music halls in the Americas. On February 12th in collaboration with the United Nation's women's organization UNIFEM, and the Mexican sister organization SEMILLAS, Willie hosted the tremendously successful International Women's Day fund raiser.
In 1999, Colû°n was asked to be part of the Jubilee 2000 Delegation to the Vatican along with Randolph Robinson of Trans Africa, Harvard economist Jeffrey Sachs, Bono from U2, and Quincy Jones. This initiative received Pope John Paul IIãs endorsement and later prompted President Clinton to forgive the US portion of the third world indebted countries.
In November of 1999 he became Dr. William A. Colû°n when Hartford CTãs Trinity College conferred the degree of Doctor of Music for "The Art of Courage." This is a recognition given to artists who have used their art to make political change.
In 2000, he was chosen to perform in Mexico Cityãs El Zû°calo plaza, to celebrate Easter (Sabado de Gloria) before a capacity crowd of over 100,000. Colû°n also appeared as the headliner to Puerto Ricoãs Regatta 2000 last May drawing a crowd of over 125,000 in Old San Juan. In Mexico City, he also wrote and produced a sitcom TV pilot titled "Willieãs Cafûˋ." In 2002, Willie Colû°n was retained by NYC & COMPANY (The City of New York Convention and Visitorãs Bureau) as a Senior Advisor and Consultant, he was also appointed as Mayor Bloombergãs representative to El Museo Del Barrio.
On May 3 2003, Rubenô and Willie reunited for the Siembra 25th Anniversary Concert. They packed Hiram Bithorn Stadium with 27,000 fans that turned out for this 3 hour concert that included many of their early hits together. This concert was also critically acclaimed by the press for the excellent musical performance by Willie & Ruben and their All Star Orchestra that was composed of members of both Ruben and Willies present and former band members.
September 1, 2004, Willie Colû°n received the Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award from the Latin Music Association.
August 2005, WILLIE COLûN AND MARC ANTHONY TOUR LATIN AMERICA – Sold out Tour included BogotûÀ, Medellin and Cali, Colombia, Guayaquil and Quito, Ecuador and Lima, Peru.
September 17, 2005 Willie Colû°n launches US Postal Services Bailemos Stamp series.
Along with all these commitments, Willie Colû°n gives priority to spending time with his wife, Julia, and sons, and enjoys indulging in such other interests as boating, aviation and computers. He currently hosts a website www.williecolon.com and a Cyber Forum WILLIE COLûN FORUM.
Through his work, positive message and example, Willie Colû°n has developed into an internationally respected socio-political voice, equally at home on the entertainment or political scene, whether it is New York City, Latin America, or the Vatican.
Herald De Paris, West Coast Editor USA Al Carlos Hernandez had a chance this weekô to rekindle his friendship and continue a conversation he and Willie began more than 20 years ago.
AC:You were born and raised in New York. Why did you choose to pursue a career in Latin music rather than R&B, Pop, or Rock?
I was raised by my grandmother, Antonia Roman Pintor, a peasant (jûÙbara) with a third grade educationô from the hills of ManatûÙ Saliente, between ManatûÙ and Ciales, Puerto Rico. My mother was a teenage mom (16) and abdicated my rearing to Abuela (Grandma). From her I learned Spanish and got my indoctrination as a Puerto Rican. Even more than my parents – they tried to assimilate. My father was a heroin addict and was never around, and when he was, we wished he wasn't. My grandma spoke very little English so our communications were mostly in Spanish. Even when I spoke to her in English she would answer in Spanish. She was of the first migration from PR at the dawn of the 20th century. She spoke and read and even sang to me in Spanish.
The hood was mostly Latino immigrants, not like El Barrio that was almost 100% PR. The Bronx was more like Queens, a blend of many Latino nationalities. After school I would hang at my friend Michael's house till Abuela and my mom would get home from work. Michael's mother was Edna Davidson, a beautiful black PanameûÝa with green eyes. There would be jam sessions in the summer, which the remaining whiteô residents resented.ô Fernando, a Dominicanô from across street, would bring his fiddle. PapûÙn, a Cuban, would bring his bass. Ti Joe, an African American, would bring his trumpet andô Moe, Fernan, Toro, all Puerto Ricans, would play congas and sing coro.
The walls on the block would be covered with posters that were glued one over the other as time passed. These would have pictures of Tito Puente or Machito or Tito Rodriguez or Joe Cuba or Charlie Palmieri. These were our heroes. I knew what the Titos (Puente & Rodriguez) looked like from a very young age.
My grandma bought me a trumpet for my 11th birthday. She had a son who died of meningitis at 6 years old. He was going to be a saxophonist. I think that when Abuela looked at meô she saw her departed son Gilberto. They say that "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." That's literally what happened. At about 11-12 years old I learned trumpet from a man who played trumpet in my neighborhood. He heard me practicing and knocked on my door. When I started to play trumpet, Iô learned "Dolores La Pachanguera" a hit by the Joe Cotto band with Mon Rivera singing. I was exposed to the Beatles and Herb Alpert and Al Hirt. I loved Rafael Mendez (Mexican) "The greatest trumpeter that ever lived." But besides the neighborhood and all of that, I probably decided to play Latin music just to make my Abuela proud of me.
AC: You were the first to adapt a gangster type persona in the very beginning of your career. Where did that "malo" image come from?ô Looking back,ô did that image help or hurt your overall career trajectory? How do feel about being a hero to young rappers?
I had no brothers and no father around to back me up so I had to learn to fight for myself. I became a mean little sucker. If you were bigger than me and beat me, I learned to come back and get you when you weren't looking. I needed to develop a reputation for being crazy or I would never survive. There was an ongoing plague of heroin addicts on the streets and I was not a big guy. I needed to teach people that if they hurt me or stole something fromô me that I would get even. That's where part of the rep came from. When we started gigging I already knew the handle I wanted, so I wrote a song by that title so that I could use the handle. The nickname was EL MALO.
It was a natural; all I had to do is play it up. At 15, I'd take pictures with a cigar in my mouth. The Untouchables was a popular gangster TV series so I started to dress like a 1930's gangster. I would never smile into the camera. Everybody else did. I created an attitude which everybody and their mother uses now. I want to laugh when I see everybody trying to grill the camera now. It's old. Now I'm back to smiling.
The gangsta theme worked well at the gigs so when I recorded I started to embellish the gansta theme. But I always kept it tongue-in-cheek. We didn't really shoot anyone. Well, we got into a lot of fights because of it. Young bloods would show up to challenge us. But if you were to really look at the album artwork, it was meant to be funny. "Armed with trombone and considered dangerous" things like that. But it does feel good to get respect from the young bloods.
AC: You were very successful at a young age, yet political at the same time. Do you think thatô your music and some of the messages embedded changed the way Latinos perceived themselves culturally? Can music effect a change in the body politic? Couldô Salsa occur anywhere but New York at the time?
The 50's and 60's were times of political upheaval in the U.S. The civil-rights movement was on a collision course with Middle America and we all got caught in the process. Our jam sessions were a source of aggravation for the whites who remained in the neighborhood.
Eventually our neighbors would call the police, who were all white. We would be ordered to disperse or get cited for disturbing the peace and unlawful assembly. We'd break up our jam session and return after they were gone or, if we'd already had our fill, till tomorrow. The next time the police would show up they were less friendly about it. The relationship was very strained to aô point where they'd take a drum or discretely bop somebody on the head.
Meanwhile, MLK was marching on Selma and we'd see the attack dogs and the water hoses on TV. We understood precisely what they were going through and in a way we felt part of it. Our jam sessions, though not explicitly political, were an act of civil disobedience.
That is the socio-political underpinning of Salsa music. The dances were practically "meetings" for a marginalized group of people. It reminds me a lot of Brazilian Capoeira. The music gave us a mutual cause –ô it made us visible to each other. The days of "I love Lucy" were long gone. We weren't cute anymore. Being Latino became a more underground counterculture thing.
Music can be used to educate. It is a traditional oral-teaching form that lends itself to today's technologies. Music can insidiously provide information to people who can't or won't read. By its very nature music unites people. Musicians must cooperate to make music, dancers must socialize to dance, and audiences must congregate to enjoy a concert. If you were toô ask people toô come and listen to Senator Rodriguez make a speech you'd get a very different result than what you get when peopleô come to a concert.
The music has spread throughout Latin America and is accepted and cherished as a symbol of our modern common culture. Noô political movement has been as successful in unifying Latinos.
Salsa could not have been born anywhere but New York, a multicultural Mecca where the best of the best come to seek their fortune. Classical music, jazz, and folkloricô players coming together in the capitol of the world.
AC: During the Fania years you helped change the flavor of Caribbean based Afro-Cuban music. What isô some of your best memories of those days? Why did you leave Fania?
Because of my growing up in the Irish and Italian part of town and watching it become a diverse Latino community, I wasn't hung-up with "We have to do it exactly this way," the way many other aficionados were. While I adored and respected Cuban music for what it was, I wanted to try to cross-pollinate. Brazilian music had such sophisticated yet subtle chord progressions. African and Caribbean music had fun rhythms and great lyrics. I wanted to bring all these things together and present these things that make me feel so good to people who weren't fortunate enough to have found them.
When I broke out the chart for "Che Che Colûˋ" the guys in the band started moaning and groaning. "Aaw Willie, what is this crap?" They refused to play the chart. Iô became indignant and pushed it through. After a couple of run throughs the guys started getting it. They said things like, "Hey this is cool!"
I was never a calculating person. Forgive the clichûˋ but I did what I did for the sake of the art. I was so focused on making this new music that I didn't concentrate on what I was going to get out of it financially. When Ruben packed his bags and went to Elektra I was still indebted to Fania for a few albums. Much later, I decided I wanted to go out into the "real record world." My lawyer found me a deal with RCA. Jerry offeredô to match anything they'd pay but I said, "No, Jerry it's nothing personal, I just need to go out into the real world." Leaving Fania was one of the biggest mistakes of my life.
AC: I am told that the only person who made money with Fania was Johnny Pacheco, and those artists didn't get a fair piece of the pie. Is that true?ô Do you think that the Salsa music template that youô laid down would have been more commercially acceptable ifô greed didn'tô kill the whole scene?
I produced the Willie & Hector records, which include many big standard hits. I also produced the Willie & Ruben records which include "Siembra" the all-time best seller. I produced both Hector's & Ruben's solo albums which were very successful. Add to that my production of Celia Cruz's albums and my solo records and you have the most successful producer in Latin music that ever was. ô With a resume like that I should never have to work again. Unfortunately, that's not the case.
Pardon me while I hit you with another dog-eared clichûˋ but Iô grew up very poor. So I am grateful for what I have. I have four sons and four grandchildren and a woman who has stood by me for 33+ years. It was the foundation of what I made with Fania that helped me live a life that has allowed me have great adventures, wonderful experiences, and friends all over this planet. But as I get older I keep thinking aboutô something another Jerry said – Jerry McGuire: 'SHOW ME THE MONEY!"ô During the years of my greatest success and in my naivety, I failed toô make sure I got the credit or the dollars that were coming to me.
I tookô what money I made and bought my firstô house while Pacheco was pimping around with a mink coat, gold cane, and a Rolls Royce. Many artists were resentful; some even resented me for my "success." But I have to say that Jerry put money into the Salsa scene like nobody else ever did. Renting Yankee Stadium, making movies, touring the Fania All Stars. He was putting his money on the table and rolling them dice big time. Would I like to get what I was supposed to get? Yes, that would be really nice.
AC: A couple of yearsô ago you were somewhat criticalô of theô film El Cantante that caricatured the life of your friend Hector Lavoe. What should the film have been about? What do you think Hector would have thought of the movie?
The movie "El Cantante" was a missed opportunity.ô LaVoe fans were hungry for a film that would go into their idol's life in depth and shine some light on who he really was. It was also an opportunity to show the rest of the world what we're about. What we're saying, what the dance scene is about. A chance to give theô world OUR perspective and put us in context. Instead, we got a 2 dimensionalô B movie about another Latino junkie.
AC:ô Your collaboration with Ruben Blades over the years has been legendary. What is the nature of that relationship? Does it still exist today?
Working with Ruben was a painful experience. He is an intelligent man but it's his unbridled ego, ambition, and greed that eroded any real relationship. Einstein left his brain to science; Ruben should leave his ego. We are currently having a dispute about whether he should pay me a large sum of money that "disappeared" when his agent "absconded" with it. Nuff said.
AC: Is there a riff in the Latin music market between Puerto Ricans and Cubans? There is some suspicion that Cuban music heavyweights exclude Puerto Rican artists from industry opportunity, record play, distribution, and exposure. Do you find this true?
Yes, there is, to a certain extent. I have been incorrectly identified as anti-Cuban. Not true. I had a Cuban uncle, I haveô four Boricubano 1st cousins, my son's godfather is Cuban, I worked with Celia and Justo Betancourt, Javier Vasquez, etc.ô There were people in the business that wanted toô paint me with that brush for business purposes; Jumping on my every word. Like he called so and so's people "a mafia" just like Castro does. As a matter of fact, I have said many times that I wonãt leave New York because that's where MY mafia is.
Meanwhile, I have never visited Cuba nor do I wish to be used asô political propaganda for Fidel. The ideals they espoused were beautiful but when those thing turn into "President for life" it's just plain oppression. Just like what's going on in Venezuela. I donãt care how you paint it. If it walks like a dictator and talks like a dictator, it's a dictator.
AC: You are a huge act in Mexico, Central and South America, selling out arenas. Why is it, given the tremendous Latino population here at home where your music originates, that itô doesn't happen here? Do you still tour extensively? If not, would you like too? If not, then why not?
Fania had the right track to make that big crossover. Jerry Masucci achieved quite a lot with getting this music on the map. One of the problems we have is that our Latin record companies are being run by Latinos who have a third world mentality about this music. Instead of thinking like world music, they compartmentalize it into a box –ô like "The Latin Grammy," when it was already part of the real Grammy.
In a way we're our own worst enemy. The Oscars doesn't have "The Latin Oscars" nor do the Emmys or the Golden Globes. We separated ourselves. I do tour occasionally here in the states and would love to do more before it's time to hang up the trombone.
AC: Yourô last CD "El Malo Vol 2-Los Prisoneros Del Mambo" isô your swan song to Salsa.ô ô At this stage of the game, doô you still have something to say and doô you stillô feel passion in the music?ô ô How was the CD accepted by the public?
I still feel very passionate about the music. I am still hopeful that Prisioneros del Mambo will take off. Some of my biggest hits were "slow burners." Gitana took four years to hit! I'm getting good feedback from the record but I am bucking the system as an independent and there is a systematic resistance sown by the multinationals to discourage wildcat producers and labels. You can get it through iTunes and at www.williecolon.com
AC: What would you say is the highlight of your career so far? What has been your biggest disappointment?
Being able to go to Puerto Rico and play for thousands of people. It's like a graduation for me. Abuela would be proud. My biggest disappointment has been my relationship with Ruben. Sometimesô I wish it never happened.
AC:ô It seems that you have turned towards politics over the years. Do you have any more political aspirations? As one of the most prominent Puerto Ricans on the planet, how do you feel about the appointment of Justice Sotomayor?
Yes, I am now active politically as an advisor and liaison to Mayor Bloomberg, going on nine years now. I think it's about time we had one ofô us lookingô DOWN from the bench! I couldn't be more delighted about my dear friend Justice Sonia Sotomayor's appointment. Not just because she's Puerto Rican but because of the person she is.
AC: Will there ever be a Latino President? If so, would it make any difference?
I would like to take this opportunity to announce my candidacy for President in the 2012 elections.ô I will make a difference!
AC: What are you working on right now? What are some things that you still really want to accomplish?
I'm working on a book. I'd like to publish a book and produce a movieô (NOT BE IN IT).
AC:ô Who has been your greatest supporter all of these years?
Julia has been my strength through all my ups and downs these 33 years.
AC: What advice would you give someone wanting to be the next Willie Colon?
Don't do it! Go back! Forget about that Willie Colû°n crap!ô Seriously, start your thing young but go to school. FIND A MENTOR. Take advice. Listen to people who have what you want.ô Steep yourself in whatever it is you love. Live it, breath it, eat it, dream it. THEN start to make your own statements.
AC: How do you want history to remember you?
As a man who impacted the world, wasn't afraid to speak up,ô and could to take a punch.
AC: How has social media changed the way you communicate with your audience?
Social media has been liberating. It has evened the playing field somewhat. Without expensive public relation firms, one can venture out into the "social media" jungle and carve out a niche. You can say things when you have to without being filtered by the powers that be. You can make personal contact with your fans in unprecedentedô ways.
AC: How do fans and friends react to the fact that you can communicate with them anytime?
Most are very supportive. There are some really cultured, intelligent people out there. Then there are people who think that social media is about being a troll and flaming everyone and everything. But thankfully, you can just un-follow or block the knuckleheads. I love FB and twitter.
AC: Where do you see new media going when it comes to the socio- cultural development of Latinos in the future?
Social media has given us a voice and the ability toô develop a global consciousness. It allows us to share information rapidly as it happens. As it did in China and Iran, social media allows people in the Americas to share theirô opinions and expose their plight. It is, and will be, an important tool to educate, unify, and advance Latinos.

text: I have finished a quilt and had my second attempt at machine quilting. The problem is that I did not do a locking stitch at the ends of the quilting. I just left long tails because I thought it was supposed to be tied...but now after thinking about it, I am just about sick to my stomach because I'm thinking I'll have to tear all of the stitching out. I just wondered if anyone had ideas of what I could do to finish it off or if I should just take it out and start over.

RONNIE Moore has confirmed he IS interested in signing Plymouth Argyle striker Marvin Morgan – but admits no new additions are likely until next week.
The Pools boss travelled down to Plymouth earlier this week to run the rule over Morgan at Home Park, with the 6ft 4in forward scoring twice in a reserve cup tie against Newport County.
The 31-year-old was making his return after a spell out injured with an abdominal muscle strain and has been on Moore's radar since he joined Pools, as revealed by SportMail.
Argyle manager John Sheridan has previously said he would not stand in the way of Morgan, who has scored twice this season, making a loan move to Hartlepool if he wanted to.
But if he were to sign before tomorrow's match between the two sides at Victoria Park then he wouldn't be playing.
Moore was keen to stress at his pre-match press conference that while he is tracking Morgan he isn't putting all of his "eggs in one basket".
He said: "Marvin Morgan is one I've watched.
"We are looking for a striker but you can't have all your eggs in one basket.
"There are two or three others too and we are hopeful, come Monday, someone will be in."
Sheridan said: "I have made it clear [to Morgan] he's available to go out to whichever club suits him.
"I spoke to Ronnie [Moore] and I think he has been talking to Marvin's agent so Ronnie knew the situation before he even came down to watch him.
"Full credit to Ronnie, though.
"He has come a long way to watch a reserve game."
While the pursuit of a new striker continues, Pools have been boosted by confirmation Reading midfielder Aaron Tshibola has extended his loan deal until the end of the season.
Tshibola turned down another League Two club to seal an extended stay at Pools.
"I always wanted to stay here," he said.
"I feel comfortable at the club and didn't want to ruin that so once there was the chance to stay I was keen to get everything sorted.
"I am ready for the fight ahead now – if we keep on playing like we did against Tranmere then I am more than confident we can stay up.
"We've got a big game against Plymouth tomorrow now."
The 20-year-old has featured in every game since joining and SportMail revealed Moore was keen to secure his services for longer.
Moore added: "We want two more in, new blood lifts all the players too and you have seen how good the players that have come in are too.
"We are trying to keep Aaron [Tshibola] and we are in talks with Reading to see if we can get that right.
"Tish is a good player, there is no doubt about that.
"We have been very fortunate that he came here because there was one or two clubs interested in him.
"I know Nick Hammond at Reading really well and he has sorted me out in the past with one or two players.
"He knows they get treated well and get good coaching."
Tshibola will start tomorrow's match at home to the Pilgrims and Moore is hoping his side can continue the momentum gained at Tranmere Rovers last weekend.
Pools came from behind to secure a 1-1 draw thanks to Scott Fenwick's 14th minute strike.
Reflecting on the point, Moore said: "Last week we reacted quickly to going one-down, it was a great performance and the best since I've been there and the best in a while.
"They moved the ball well and all gave me the effort I asked for.
"In the past, they have folded like a pack of cards and maybe we were a bit fortunate to get the goal quickly to get back into it but then there was only going to be one winner, we just didn't get that break.
"Recent results and performances have been a vast improvement though.
"At Tranmere they all knew how important it was for me personally, as well as the club, and that set the benchmark.
"If we can perform that way in the remaining games then we will get on a run and will win more than we lose."

Lehigh Cement Co. is pursing plans to erect a 4.5-mile conveyor system between its quarry in New Windsor, Md., and its Union Bridge, Md., cement plant, according to a report in the Baltimore Sun. The conveyor would run under roads, rails, streams and over acres of protected farmland. Lehigh says such a system is the best way to keep the plant running. But some local residents have criticized Lehigh's environmental record and are concerned about the prospect of construction on agriculturally preserved land.
The plant reportedly needs about 12,000 tpd of stone to stay in operation. It has rejected trucking in the stone, given the adverse effect of hundreds of vehicles on small-town roads. Another option is to build a rail spur from an existing track, but the company would prefer the conveyor. The project would cost tens of millions of dollars, require permits from federal, state and county agencies, and take numerous public hearings to complete. It would take about two years to build.

Thirty years ago, contemplating his thesis subject (leisure architecture) at Manchester University, Charles Knevitt had the bright idea of seeking sponsorship. Money flowed from companies including Ladbrokes, Rank Leisure Services and the Playboy Club; a career involving architecture, writing and sponsorship had begun.
Knevitt has just taken over as director of the RIBA Trust, the cultural arm of the institute that is responsible, among other things, for the Library and Drawings Collection, events, awards and exhibitions. Chaired by former culture minister Tessa Blackstone, the trust marks, arguably, the most significant change to the structure of the institute since it was created in 1834. The clear separation of membership and sectoral interests from its public face is a radical reversion to the origins of the RIBA, which under its charter is charged with promoting 'civil architecture', not architects. And while his line manager is institute chief Richard Hastilow, Knevitt's responsibilities as director are to the trustees of the new body.
The new director is excited at the prospect of leading what should be the profession's biggest outreach programme in living memory, which will be marked by the opening of the architecture gallery (by architect Gareth Hoskins) at the V&A Museum, the new home for the Drawings Collection, in November.
'Architecture for All' is the umbrella name for the trust's programmes and one Knevitt heartily supports: 'It's all about making architecture more accessible to all sorts of people, and that should help establish our funding priorities. It has to be about outreach.' With a successful media career behind him (architecture correspondent of the Sunday Telegraph and The Times, architecture and planning correspondent for Thames Television in the 1980s), Knevitt has also been author/editor of numerous books, ranging from cartoons about the Prince of Wales to the Channel 4 publication Space on Earth, which accompanied a successful television series on buildings and the environment. As a player in the explosion of interest in 'community architecture', a phrase coined by him in a magazine profile about former RIBA president Rod Hackney, Knevitt was also a founder of the Community Enterprise Awards, sponsored by The Times for some years.
The emphasis on communities across the country is something he wants to re-establish. 'I'm very keen on the regions. I've spent much of my life in different cities, and we have a huge number of architectural ambassadors out there; a fantastic resource. I will be going to the cities to see what the appetite is for involvement, and to listen to what people think the trust should be doing. I think I know how regions tend to view the centre.' The role of universities and their schools of architecture could be brought into play, he feels, especially given the huge sums of money being invested in their capital programmes. This is something Knevitt knows a lot about, since for the last seven years he has been working as a professional fund-raiser, bringing in (by his estimate) about £10 million to various universities, most notably Liverpool, but most recently Manchester, where he has been involved in the combining of Manchester University and UMIST into one institution ('Project Unity'), making it a major player on the university world stage.
His role at the RIBA Trust is not as a fund-raiser, though he expects to review the way this task is currently approached, given the expertise he has acquired. Curiously, his involvement in the world of fund-raising began after his media/marketing company ran into trouble in organising an exhibition (with the support of the Prince of Wales) about the Hungarian 'organic' architect Imre Makovecz. Everything went well except the fund-raising, which was being handled by a separate group of people. They failed dismally. Knevitt's firm was left holding the financial baby, and that marked the end of his involvement in architecture - until now.
'It does feel like coming home, ' he says.
'I never imagined I would be working for the RIBA, but the new trust gives an opportunity to make a real difference. I think it's probably the best job in architecture.' That view is partly based on his experience of the growing confidence of regional cities to push for better design on their patch. 'It's great to see cities in competition with each other to create really good buildings and spaces in-between. The trust's job isn't to push architects as such, but people need to use the best available advice they can get on design, especially urban design, and that can obviously involve architects in a big way.'
Knevitt likes what he sees as the 'narrowing gap between architects and planners', and thinks it would be 'difficult to imagine the Prince of Wales making the sort of speech he did in 1984? things have moved on'. He returns to the territory with an observation that design quality has greatly improved in the last six or seven years, but communication of its possibilities still leaves much to be desired. He sees opportunities in school and communication programmes to address this, and believes that some of the work carried out by the American Institute of Architects in getting a message across to the public is well worth considering.
In his first few months as director, Knevitt will partly be finding his feet, partly banging the drum for the new V&A gallery, and partly cementing alliances with like-minded organisations. He will also be a member of the RIBA holding company, which sits between council and other RIBA operating companies. In short, a tough, interesting job.
His success would benefit not just the institute, but architecture as a whole.

MSNBC airs wrong photo in reporting retired Congressman Foley's death
MSNBC in reporting the death of former House Speaker Tom Foley incorrectly aired a picture of Mark Foley, the disgraced Florida congressman.
The 84-year-old Foley died Friday morning after spending several months in hospice care. The state of Washington Democrat served as House speaker for six years, under the Bush and Clinton administrations.
Mark Foley, R-Fla., served from 1995 to 2006, he resigned amid allegations of sending inappropriate messages to past and present congressional pages.
A host for the cable network issued an on-air apology by the afternoon.
CNN used a photo of Tom Foley, the Connecticut Republican who lost to Democrat Dannel Malloy, in the state's 2010 gubernatorial election, according to the Connecticut Post.
(An earlier version had CNN using Malloy, not Foley's picture.)

Mana Products is looking to sell a 215,000-square-foot Sunnyside warehouse that sits on a 2.5-acre site for $65 million.
The manufacturer of cosmetics products has owned the three-story storage and distribution facility since 2003, when it paid nearly $10 million. The site, at 27-11 49th Avenue, near 27th Street, offers 75 parking spaces and 21-foot ceiling heights at the building.
Right Time Realty's Joe Ibrahim and George Raftis are marketing the building as a potential office conversion.
Mana, a Long Island City-based company founded in 1977, wants to sell the property in an effort to acquire and develop an even larger site to house a new facility, Ibrahim said.
In the neighborhood, Lloyd Goldman's BLDG Management paid $40.7 million for a 322,000-square-foot warehouse at 47-25 34th Street in 2013.

Here is another salsa recipe from Diana Kennedy that I tried, Sauce of Many Chiles.
Couple mistakes, questions, I have regarding the recipe and what I found to work. For instance, the recipe in "The Essential Cuisines of Mexico"states that the chiles should crumble easily. I did not find this to be the case. The Arbols crumbled just fine, but as explained by a friend, this is just because they are so thin to begin with. Everything else I had to tear apart myself, and after blending just so much as to leave some rustic consistency, I found the larger pieces chewy. Not cool. So I blended everything again, to turn it into a sauce rather than a salsa. I did not add the cilantro either, at the end as I just ran out of time.
Very tasty, very smokey, and quite complex in flavor.
As seen here in order, we have the cascabel, morita, arbol, chipotle, and guajillo chiles.
Notice, how most of the chiles were still left in rather large pieces after trying to crumble. Chiles burn quite easily, and very quickly so I think you are better off under toasting rather than over toasting and burning.
You can see the salsa, after blending the first time, and while there is still some consistency, but with large chewy pieces of chiles. I decided to puree, and blend it all together after this.
You can see the salsa, after blending the first time, and while there is still some consistency, but with large chewy pieces of chiles. I decided to puree, and blend it all together after this.
The final product, pureed, and without cilantro. Very good still. Will make this one again, for sure.
2 chiles cascabel
2 chiles moritas
2 chiles de arbol
1 chile chipotle
1 chile guajillo
2 large tomatoes
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1/4 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 bunch chopped cilantro leaves
Heat a comal or cast iron skillet over a medium high heat. Toast the chiles, turning them constantly so they don=t burn, 30 to 60 seconds. Let them cool and remove their stems. Crumble them with their seeds and veins.
Toast the tomatoes and garlic until slightly charred. Let them cool. In a blender combine the chiles, garlic, tomatoes, salt, and water and blend until you have a rough sauce. Pieces of the chiles should be visible. Transfer salsa to a bowl and stir in the cilantro.

Medical Articles
L-carnitine Deficiency in Dogs
A group of researchers have shown that some dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy have a deficiency of L-carnitine. A partial reversal of dilated cardiomyopathy was observed in some dogs given a diet supplemented in L-carnitine.
Presently, there is no readily available method for assessing the quantity of L-carnitine in heart muscle. Medication is sometimes prescribed when blood serum L-carnitine levels are low.
Clients should realize that L-carnitine administration is completely empirical. There is no documented proof that L-carnitine is a treatment or prevention for dilated cardiomyopathy in dogs.

Welcome to week #1 of Macabre Monday challenge,
"Zombies and Creeps."
You are to create a dark, Gothic, or Hallowe'en
based art piece that showcases Zombies or Classic Creeps
in some way.
in some way.
Our Sponsor this week is Simply B Stamps and the Minions are using the Limited Edition Zombies and Creeps digis, one of the newest of the Steampunk Collections drawn by the fabulous Abigail Larson.
I LOVE the Abigail Larson images, they are so intricate and wonderful!
I chose to use Collette. I coloured her with a mix of cosmic shimmer inks, glimmer mist and distress inks and some watercolour pencils. She looks a lot better coloured in person and I am really bad at photography so she doesn't look up to much in the photos but is very shimmery. I also added some Wild Orchid Flowers and some of Glo's fabulous Brains from her etsy shop. You can also purchase the brains as jewellery. I have a pendant and a pair of earrings.
Get your bahookies on over to HDH to see the other minions creations and to check out the prize.

Jason and the Argonauts
- Kelly Apter
- 2 October 2006
Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, 12-14 Oct then touring
Harpies, fire-breathing bulls, dragons - Jason and the Argonauts has no shortage of combative characters. Add to that Jason, his family, Medea and over 50 Argonauts and you'll understand the difficulties facing Visible Fictions' director, Douglas Irvine.
Adapting the famous myth for the stage has certainly been a challenge for the Glasgow-based theatre company. Particularly given the entire show is performed by just two actors. 'They're flipping back and forward all over the place," laughs Irvine. 'It's a really fast production, and great fun.'
The set has also posed a few problems. Jason journeys across the ocean in a vast ship, visiting palaces and passing through clashing rocks. There's also the question of scale, which those who have seen the film version will know, is all important in making Jason look small in the face of mighty beasts. Irvine's ingenious solution was to enlist the help of some well-loved toys.
'I wanted a very playful approach to the show so it's just like two boys playing,' explains Irvine. 'We're using paper planes and boats, an Action Man and sword fights with sticks.' Playfulness aside, the show tackles some pretty intense subjects - revenge, growing up, families, betrayal. The show is aimed at 'ages 9 and beyond' as the company puts it, summing up the popularity Visible Fictions enjoys with both adults and children.
'We've spent a lot of time making sure the story is clear and the language accessible,' says Irvine. 'And although we're dealing with myth, the two characters are basically like clowns which is how we connect with a 9-year-old. And adults know they'll see something which speaks to an audience, regardless of their developmental stage.'

Designer Heinrik Ng Chak Kwan created a modern office desk with nature-inspired elements. The surface of the desk is reminiscent of the Earth's natural topography, which users can organize their belongings on.
Chak Kwan made this desk in response to our modern disconnect with the outside world. Its coaster-like rough platforms make up the desk's surface, which are designed in proportions of five, 10 and 20 percent of the total surface area. These proportions are measurements that can be found in macro-sized urban developments.
With its rough and jagged exterior juxtaposed with its modern make, this office desk is meant to bring the outside world back into the work space, as opposed to segregating the two.

Quick & Easy Pasta and Creme Fraishe Recipe08:57
Being a student is sometimes hard because you don't really have time to cook for yourself and your budget isn't that broad. So, after opening my fridge and seeing the crème fraiche that I had bought two days ago, I knew I had to use it before it went out of date. I decided to also use the chicken fillets I had as well and what better way than to combine these two things than with pasta!
So for the quick & easy steps to make this delicious pasta and crème fraishe recipe; all you need is:
300g Chicken breast fillets
350ml low fat crème fraishe
300g wholemeal fusili pasta
salt and pepper to taste
Method (serves 2):
1) Boil water inside a large pan.
2) Fry the chicken on a medium heat until well cooked and lightly brown. Set aside.
3) Place pasta into the boiling water and bring back to the boil whilst simmering occasionally for 10 minutes.
4) Slice the chicken into small strips.
5) Once pasta is ready drain the water and add the crème fraishe. Simmer the crème nicely until all pasta is coated and then add the chicken.
6) Season to taste.
7) Serve and enjoy.
*Can add oregano or parsley to the pasta to give it a different flavour.
Tell me if you guys would try it and if you did, what did you think?
Until next time! xo

Michael Hyatt, Guest Author
When we think of someone with integrity, we think of someone we can count on to come through on what they promise. Unfortunately, that's not always a safe bet today.
Over the last several years I've noticed a change in the way we use the word integrity. The word used to mean staying true to your word—even if it's difficult, inconvenient, or expensive. But today I hear more and more people using the word as if it means being true to themselves—even if that means leaving someone else to clean up the mess.
This might look like a win if we're trying to save ourselves from difficulty and discomfort, but it will come back to bite us in the end. Nothing destroys our credibility faster than bailing on a commitment.
The phrase "To thine own self be true" comes from Shakespeare's Hamlet, but it became popular through self-help books and programs. There's nothing wrong with these words by themselves, but they're usually taken out of context.
If you've ever read or seen the play you know the full story. The phrase comes after advice about being prudent and preserving friendships. The idea is that we are true to ourselves so that others can count on what we say. That was having integrity.
But if you listen to the way people use it today, they usually mean something else. "To thine own self be true" is often used as an excuse to do whatever a person wants instead of what's expected—or even what they've already committed to. This is suicide in business—and the rest of life.
Not only is integrity essential for strong friendships, it's crucial for all of our relationships. "Honesty," says Stephen Covey, "is making your words conform to reality. Integrity is making reality conform to your words." We won't get far in life without it.
Just think about your work. Without the kind of integrity Covey describes, you cannot be an effective leader. Why?
1. Trust depends on integrity. If people can't rely on your word, they won't trust you. They may extend some grace, but eventually people will doubt and disbelieve.
2. Influence depends on trust. People will refuse the influence of leaders they distrust. Just look at how this plays out in politics or the media. We follow people we trust.
3. Impact depends on influence. You can't make the impact you want unless you can influence others and shift their behavior.
Now think of other relationships: marriage, parenting, church, whatever. The strength of our relationships is measured by how much people can count on us. If we're not true to our words, that means our relationships will be as unreliable as we are.
"The strength of our relationships is measured by how much people can count on us." ~ Michael Hyatt
Yes, keeping our word can sometimes be very costly. I've had times in my career when it's been very expensive to do the right thing. Once I had to pull the plug on a multimillion dollar project we desperately needed to make our numbers.
Another time I had to uphold an exorbitant commitment of an executive I let go, even though he didn't have the authority to make the agreement in the first place. The P&L was already hemorrhaging, but the cost of not following through would have been more expensive to the company in the long run.
There's nothing wrong with asking to be released from a commitment. But if we can't get free, then we need to make good on it. If we try living true to ourselves at the expense of others, it'll cost us our relationships, our success, ultimately everything of real and lasting value.

Kirstenbosch has always been a special place, but more so since we got engaged there nearly 10 years ago! My husband had packed the perfect picnic basket for sundowners and popped the question on the rolling lawns overlooking the lake as the sun dipped below the mountains :)
And because our wedding fell on a public holiday, it is now traditional that we go back to Kirstenbosch on our anniversary each year, now with two kids in tow :) " Lisa from : Cape Town
"Looking at all the pictures we have of memories made at Kirstenbosch, it becomes accurate to say that our daughter Kate has literally grown up there. Our Botanical Society cards allow us access to Kirstenbosch whenever the mood takes us (which is often!)

On the menu of an Italian restaurant where we ate recently, my husband and I both noticed the asparagus, potato, and pearl barley soup. Although we ended up ordering other things on that occasion, the idea wouldn't go away, so I went on to make my own version. Have I mentioned lately how much I love asparagus? The potato makes for a creamy, thick soup base, and the pearl barley gives it a bit of texture.
Asparagus, Potato, & Pearl Barley Soup
Serves 4
1 small onion
2 cloves garlic
2tbsp olive oil
1.5 litres vegetable stock
500g potatoes
500g fresh asparagus (weigh after removing the woody ends)
50g (½ cup) pearl barley (dried)
pepper to taste
- Finely chop the onion and garlic.
- Heat the oil in a large pan, and fry the onion and garlic until soft.
- Chop the potatoes into small pieces (approx. 1cm cubes).
- Add one litre of vegetable stock to the onions, and simmer the potatoes for about 45 minutes, until soft.
- Meanwhile, in a separate pan, cook the pearl barley in the remaining 500ml of stock, adding extra water if necessary as the barley absorbs the liquid.
- Reserve about half of the asparagus tips for a garnish, and finely chop the remaining asparagus spears into 1cm-long pieces. Add to the soup and simmer until soft.
- Puree the potato and asparagus soup base, and add black pepper to taste.
- Stir the pearl barley into the soup, and add some extra stock if necessary to get your desired texture.
- Steam the reserved asparagus tips until tender (approx. 2 minutes).
- In the bowls, top the soup with the asparagus tips and a twist of fresh black pepper. Serve with crusty granary bread.
|5:2 Diet
Without the bread, this soup has about 240 calories per serving, and because of the potatoes, it's really rather filling.

Robin Harbron, one of the programmers of the Commodore All-in-One Joystick that was released a few years ago, announced earlier this weekend that his popular iOS game "P1XL Party – Retro Minigames!" is currently free this weekend on iTunes.
The original release of p1xl Party (1.0) contained three games: Marz, a flipped-upside-down version of Space Invaders; Wanderers, a top-down RPG; and Platform, a platform game featuring a bouncing ball. Each of the three games contains retro-Commodore 64-styled graphics and sound.
Version 1.1 of the app contains a fourth game titled Bounced, which the developer describes as a cross between "Pong and Herding".
Normally $1.99, this weekend the app has been marked down to free. Additionally, free updates with new games have been promised. If you have an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad, what's not to like?

Gradual Psalms
- Pilgrim Psalms
- Latin: gradus, step
Psalms 119-133 which were sung by the caravans of devout Israelites on their way to Jerusalem to celebrate the great feasts in the Temple. Other commentators say they were hymns sung in the liturgical service of the Temple as the Levites ascended in procession the steps, particularly in celebrating the Feast of Tabernacles.

Alex shoots, Joey scores!
I'm not sure if other grandparents have the same problem...what to gift the kids that won't give them a sugar rush! Both Joey and Alex like to run around, but running around outside is even better.
So after some research online, we hit the stores in search of some kid friendly soccer nets. We wanted something that wouldn't hurt the boys in case someone gets hip checked into the posts but also something that could be portable. This way, the game can go to the park, cottage or our house...and they wouldn't have to share with the dayhome kids.
Success! After a couple of stores we found some good nets, 1 for each, so no fighting and as they grow, they can have an actual match. We finished the gift with a nerf soccer ball each in different colours. We didn't get the nets outside while we were down, but the hallway made a good site for an impromptu match.

Aaron and the boys played outdoor soccer last night while I cleaned up the dinner stuff.
It was a perfect gift!
Now, when we put up the big swing set where will the soccer nets go?

That looks like such a cool gift. I bet the boys will have lots of fun with their new toys. Just what you need to wear off the sugar rush.

British actor Russell Brand made a disgustingly sexist and misogynistic comment about former Alaska governor Sarah Palin Saturday.
The Wrap reported moments ago that during a question and answer session at the Television Critics Association, Brand said of Palin's popularity, "People want to f--k her."
According to Entertainment weekly, Brand elaborated:
That's why they tolerate the other stuff….OK, that is a mad thing to say about seeing Russia out your window — but the d--k don't lie.
This is not the first time Brand went after Palin.
As NewsBusters reported, he made crude remarks about the former governor and her family while hosting the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2008. NB also reported censors required him to delete some jokes he was going to make about the Palins at that event.
He sure is a classy guy, isn't he?

Nottinghamshire County Council has been awarded £845,000 of Government funding to help promote green transport opportunities.
The money is for 'Get Moving Nottinghamshire' which is money from the Government's Department for Transport Access Fund. The bid was supported by a range of partner agencies including local colleges, employers, district councils and D2N2LEP.
It will help to deliver an ambitious plan to help people to cycle, walk and use the bus to access work and travel opportunities.
The Government money for 'Get Moving Nottinghamshire' forms part of a wider £2.5m scheme which will see the introduction of 12.8km of new cycle routes in Newark and Mansfield, a range of public transport incentives, walking and cycle maps and travel information packs.
The planned package of measures aim to boost employment opportunities for employees, job seekers and school leavers where new housing development is planned and to help reduce journey times, tackle congestion and address local air quality issues.
In relation to Get Nottinghamshire Moving, by 2023, the scheme could see:
• An estimated 1.5m fewer car trips on Nottinghamshire's roads, directly improving local air quality and creating extra highway capacity for future growth
• Up to 450,000 additional local bus trips, 465,000 additional walking trips and 195,000 additional cycle trips generated through the measures.
• An extra £1.95m of gross value added to the local economy from jobseekers supported into employment
• A net reduction of approximately 3,300 tonnes of CO2e and 21 tonnes of N2O emitted
• Almost £2.3m of monetised local public health benefits arising from increased levels of walking and cycling.
These funds are fantastic news for many of our local communities. Both will help promote sustainable transport opportunities and boost local environments.
The 'Get Nottinghamshire Moving' scheme will support economic growth by providing walking and cycling routes for people and businesses in new housing and employment growth areas as well as bringing health benefits and boost the environment by reducing air pollution, and promoting green transport.
There are wider economic benefits associated with encouraging jobseekers, apprentices, and young people transitioning to further education, employment and training to walk, cycle and use public transport in order to access these local opportunities.
