Two bridges spanning the Mississippi River — one connecting Minneapolis and Saint Paul, and a similar bridge crossing the river a mile and a half upstream — exhibit design characteristics reflecting significant changes in how people move across bridges throughout our cities.
The Saint Paul-Minneapolis structure joining East Lake Street and Marshall Avenue was built in 1989, and its design conforms to its basic traditional main function of carrying motor vehicles along the main road bed, with relatively narrow passageways for walkers and runners. A pair of vehicular lanes run both directions. Each walkway width is six feet.
The upper stream Franklin Avenue Bridge in Minneapolis, officially the F.W. Cappelen Memorial Bridge, was completed in 1923. At the time of its completion, the reinforced concrete open-spandrel arched structure, was the longest concrete arch in the world. The bridge originally carried streetcars, which were removed in the 1940s. F.W. Cappelen also designed the nearby Prospect Park Water Tower (popular name is the Witch’s Tower) in 1913 in a public park at the city’s highest elevation.
By 1970, the Cappelen Bridge was in such poor shape that it had to be closed down. The bridge was stripped down to its main arches and rebuilt from 1971 to 1973. During rebuilding design, structural engineers calculated that the original bridge was vastly overbuilt, and needed only half as many vertical supports, and many supports were removed, lending the structure a more streamlined design. During the rebuilding, the horizontal beams were built wider with a four-lane deck and wide sidewalks. The railings design was obedient to standard issue Department of Transportation standards in which aesthetics was not a high priority.
In 2015 – 2017 the bridge’s top structure was re-built on its existing arches to accommodate change of people movement. The now recognized growth of walking and bicycle traffic induced traffic engineers to re-evaluate bridge re-design.
The width changes of both East and West motor vehicular lanes assisted how both evolved movement modes actually function. The new bridge design maintains the original overall width. Wider approach aprons at both bridge ends allow cars to ease into the main East and West traffic lanes, which taper to be narrow enough to permit single travel paths, seeming to induce slower movement. But the main feature provides ample walking and bicycle lanes on both sides of the motorway, giving auto travel and pedestrian use equal widths. This work included rebuilding some of the railing minimally ornamental details lost in the 1970s reconstruction
The F.W. Cappelen Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The 46th Street/Ford Parkway bridge needs the same treatment that the Cappelen bridge got. And both 46th and Ford Parkway both need a road diet.
As long as we are using official names, remember that the 46th St crossing is officially the Intercity Bridge.
The Franklin Avenue bridge needs better and clear differentiation between pedestrian walkways and bicycle ways, preferably through curb-level elevation of the pedestrian ways as well as prominent signage and markings.
I used to walk the bridge as an alternative to the Washington Avenue bridge, but have stopped because of the present hazard from cyclists.
I suspect that Hennepin County chose the present mish-mash design for ease of snow removal.
There’s definitely a lot of confusion about who belongs where, but the space is so wide that I’ve never seen any meaningful conflict.
Even just colored paint would help, I think. It needs a way for eastbound cyclists to turn left up 27th Ave, too – that would keep cyclists out of the crosswalks east of the river. Right now crossing twice with the walk lights is the only safe-ish way.
But the single driving lane and protected biking lane is nice.
Rosa is correct in that immediately off the east end of the bridge, various pathways are uncertain although not dangerous from my daily observation. Crossing Franklin Avenue in this five corner intersection is frustrating, as changing traffic lights seem to be determined by a traffic engineer’s roulette wheel.
Why didn’t they do a traffic circle for all the crazy angled intersections at the bottom of the bridge – seems the perfect place for a traffic circle, would reduce long wait times for peds, bikers and cars to get thru – and yes traffic circles done right can work with lots of peds and backs, see Europe.
I now go out of my way on my daily commute to avoid biking on the Franklin bridge because of conflicts with wrong-way bikers and because the bridge creates confusion for bikers in the east-bound direction on how to proceed after being dumped onto the sidepath.
Also, in one part (at the east end on the north side) the bike lane is less than the legal minimum of 5 feet.
Before the redeck the bridge had 7 foot bike lanes and a 6 foot buffer in addition to the sidewalk and I loved it!
I think the the pattern of a two-way bike path is a problem in general. I have not found one that I like or feel more comfortable than a simple one way buffered lane which flows with traffic. They also all seem to be incomplete paths which require you to cross traffic to use. This bridge, Oak St, Pelham in Saint Paul.
You’re highlighting the problem as I don’t think they are intended to be two-way, although people treat them that way, in part, I think, because of the issues with connections on the east side that others have mentioned.
Yeah, the connection for westbound bike traffic coming north up the river road trail is also not great (it’s totally fine coming west on Franklin or south/west on 27th Ave). So people seem to just use it as two ways and go to the north/south bridge path just by which one they can easily get to.
Personally, I live at east end of Franklin and I am often going west on Franklin to get to this bridge and then going back east, south on west side of river.
When I do this consistent with one way bike paths, coming down Franklin, staying in cross walks, it means crossing first Franklin from the bike lanes on right side of road, then waiting to cross East River Rd and then crossing Franklin, both car directions, to get to other side of bridge and then once over bridge, crossing back over both directions of Franklin.
If some one does this every time, they need an award for patience.
Instead, I get in car traffic left hand turn lane on Franklin, cross walk over East River Rd and go over bridge on east/south/downriver side. Since I work in eastern suburbs, I’m mostly only doing this at nights and weekends and have not had any issues with peds or other bikes, but its light volume and I go slow thru there.
personally, since I’m never turning onto the river road path and always going forward on Franklin or making a soft left onto 27th, I preferred just riding in the traffic lane, so I could get into the left lane as needed.
But at least half the time I’m biking with my kid along, and that freaking TERRIFIED him, he’d get frozen up and hop up on the sidewalk and be stranded. I’ve seen adult cyclists have the same response. So even though now I have to stop and wait for a walk light, either once to get to Franklin or twice to get to 27th (and brave the right-turning cars who inexplicably get to turn even when people have a walk light) I think the new layout is better for most people. Though last time I drove it some cyclists turned left up 27th from the eastbound/south side as traffic, on a green light – which should definitely be a thing people ought to be able to do – and it looked really dangerous. We don’t design for left turns out of right lanes for a reason.
I’d think it would make it claustrophobic for bicyclists with a curb on one side and the concrete barrier on the other side.
You have the Washington Ave and 66th street cyclectracks, where they stained the concrete grey for the bicycle section to make it look more like the traditional asphalt trail.
As a frequent biker and runner on the Franklin bridge, it’s generally improved since the re-design. And having the bike and pedestrian paths at the same level is generally safer since no-one’s slipping over a curb. It’s wide enough to adjust to there being more or less of biking and pedestrian. It’s a shared space that people share pretty well IME.
That said, if you’re heading east on the south side on a bike, it’s an awkward mess for doing anything other than heading south on the E. River bike trail. Getting onto Franklin Ave itself or 27th is much more complicated than it used to be when there was the bike boxes.
The MPRB concept designs for the intersection are promising. A Minnehaha Park style bike-friendly roundabout could work well here.
Do you have a link or more information for the MPRB plans for the intersection? I bike through there pretty often too and also found it very disappointing that in some ways this route through the intersection (E-bound over bridge on the south side, continuing E on Franklin) was made worse by the new bridge. I also wonder if this would be a good location for a short cyclist/pedestrian simultaneous green interspersed between motorized traffic greens, though the intersection is quite a distance across–maybe pedestrians would need to use 2 green’s to cross between some routes.

There are a number of things that brand need to keep in mind when they are deciding on their Eyeliner Boxes packaging options. They need to know all those key elements that are ideal for making the perfect packaging choices.
We can guide brands with that. All they need to do is read this piece and be on the safe side to create the perfect looking choices.
Brands know that they need to send their products out to the world. And once these items are out going through several processes and phases, they are at a massive risk of getting damaged. Which is why it’s key that brands have packaging options that are the strongest and reliable. They need to ensure they are selecting packaging material that will offer the best kind of strength and protection to the products. So no matter which phase the product goes through, it will be safe and secure.
Often brands do not think though they need to select the highest quality packaging material for their products. They think having a high quality product is more than enough. But little do they know that the low quality packaging is sending out the most incorrect impressions about the product to the buyers. They think that the product will be of low standards and they run away from it. They feel like if they want to invest on something, it needs to be of high quality. And the packaging often brands have chosen reflects something else. Brands need to be mindful of this factor and go with the highest quality packaging material. We are not saying the highest priced ones. Just those that offer finest finish.
Often brands lose their reputation and standing in the market because of the wrong choices they are making in terms of packaging. They often select the wrong material which is non-recyclable, non-disposable or non-reusable. It’s not eco-friendly at all. Customers refuse to buy from such brands. They do not want anything that is wrapped up in a packaging that is not eco-friendly. Many buyers have admittedly rejected a product because of the packaging choice. Which is why brands need to be careful here and select only eco-friendly material.
If brands think it all comes down to the packaging design, well they are very much right here. But then again, they need to take a lot of other factors into consideration as well. Because those too play a key role in the whole packaging being a massive success. In saying that, the design has to be one of the most exciting things customers have ever seen. Because it’s the design that makes the most number of sales. When buyers look at a packaging that is appealing, attractive and exciting, immediately they develop an interest to further look into it. Which can actually lead them to purchasing the item.
Usually brands are not open to the prospect of customizing their packaging choices. As a result, they just take a standard sized box and throw in their products in it without a care and send it to the market. They carelessly throw on a sticker of their brand logo and name, or have it paste printed with not so high resolution. This is one of the worst things brands can do for their image and products both.
The thing that brands really need to do is work on the customization feature with care. Because that is what the buyers are in search of. Brands need to focus on incorporating the best features in the packaging. At the same time, it needs to be easy for the buyers to access the product. Nothing complicated or technical that buyers need hours just to figure out how they can access the item packed inside. Moreover, the packaging should be the same size and shape of the product. So that whatever brands to pack inside fits perfectly. The style that brands choose also needs to be perfect and unique. Nothing dull or unexciting. In other words, the packaging needs to be perfect line with the item that needs to be packed inside so that buyers know this was created specifically for the product.
Often time’s buyers do not understand a thing about the product. Because there isn’t any proper information given on the packaging choices. But there are times when the information is there. However, it’s misleading. In both cases, customers are really not pleased with this. Customers don’t have the option of looking at the products without purchasing them. Moreover, since the product is wrapped up with packaging, the customers don’t know anything about it. Which is why they are relying solely on the packaging to provide them the needed information.
What brands need to do is print every bit of needed information on the packaging options from their own identity and name, their working place as well as details about the product itself. Moreover, the other thing brands need to ensure is the content given on the packaging should be enough for the buyers to get an idea about the product. Most of the time, brands give out too much about the goods that buyers get bored with all the reading. That is why they opt for something else. Given this factor, brands need to ensure they are giving the precise information about the product. It needs to be enough for the buyers to paint a picture of the product in their head. The last thing brands should be careful about is the information that is being given on the Lip Liner Boxes choices. It should be accurate. Nothing false or misleading.

How to Prepare for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (ITSA)
Big news for self-employed people! From the 6th of April 2026 (previously planned from 2024), Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (called also Making Tax Digital for ITSA) will be the new way of reporting self-employment income to HMRC. Self-employed people will be required to use software to send more frequent updates and provide the information HMRC needs quicker than you can with the current tax system for self-employed.
We’re Joanna Bookkeeping, an Oxford-based professional accountants and we provide accounting services for self-employed people.
It’s our mission to help your business comply with all of its tax-related obligations such as Making Tax Digital for ITSA, and so much more!
If you’re not based in the Oxford area, no problem! We’re fully digital, and offer accounting and bookkeeping services to businesses all over the UK!
What is Making Tax Digital for ITSA?
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax will apply to all self-employed business owners and landlords with annual income over £50,000. So if you’re self-employed, your obligation to report and pay your taxes will change. You will be required to use digital software to send quarterly updates to HMRC.
Each year, you’ll need to submit a final end-of-period statement to HMRC including any adjustments for the year. To find out more details about the new requirements, check out our other artcile on Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.
Assess your current bookkeeping system
The first step toward preparing for Making Tax Digital for ITSA is assessing your current bookkeeping system. We understand that it can be challenging to break with a system you may have been using for years, and we’re here to help support your business through this transition. Maybe you’re used to using a spreadsheet system or even the traditional paper method where your bookkeeping is done manually. It may be worth writing down a step-by-step list of how you’re used to doing things, in order to assess your bookkeeping needs going forward and make sure things are compatible with the new requirements.
Choose compatible software
It’s important to mention that you can still use spreadsheets for doing bookkeeping but you’ll need bridging software to submit things to HMRC digitally. Bridging software is a way to transfer data from spreadsheets via digital links. Under Making Tax Digital, you won’t be able to manually type the information ona tax return sent to HMRC.
Another solution instead of a spreadsheet is accounting software. Make sure it’s compatible with MTD for ITSA like Xero accounting software. Accounting software will give you other features which can help you not only fulfil your statutory obligations, but also save save time and improve internal processes.

Book a chat with us to see if we are the accountants you’re looking for.
Talk to an accountant
We strongly recommend that you talk to an accountant who can help you with the transition into Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. If you haven’t used an accountant before and are unsure if it’s worth the investment, here’s what they can do for you:
Plan the transition
Don’t leave things till the last minute, implement changes earlier, so you have time to learn more about the software you’ll be using and get some practice. The Making Tax Digital for Income Tax system will be mandatory from the 6th of April 2026.
This all might sound daunting, but being prepared for these changes will make the transition much smoother for you and your business. We can provide Xero accounting software implementation or Xero accounting software training so you can get to grips with it and start using it in real-time before the deadline comes around.
If bookkeeping scares you or you simply have no time for it, consider outsourcing your bookkeeping to a professional bookkeeper. Make sure you don’t do it just before you have to start complying with Making Tax Digital for ITSA. Bookkeepers will be super busy then and you will struggle to find the best one for your business. Also, you want to work with a bookkeeper for a while to make sure the cooperation works for both of you.
Update your calendar with the new filing deadlines
If you’re self-employed, it’s extremely important that your tax affairs are in order. To avoid penalties, HMRC must receive your updates and your electronic tax payments by the deadline that applies to you under the new Making Tax Digital for ITSA rules. Make sure your calendar is always up to date with any new filing deadlines.
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self-Assessment is a big change to the way self-employed people will do business with HMRC. As you can see, it’s not simply about switching from a paper system to an online system. There are a lot of legal requirements you need to consider when it comes to Making Tax Digital for ITSA, so seeking some professional advice is always a good idea!

Most people have heard of self-esteem; how we feel about ‘who we are’. It is more than being confident, as confidence can relate to specific qualities rather than our thoughts about our value as a human. There is little doubt that self-esteem is an essential factor in our happiness; positive self-esteem helps us to achieve, to take life’s knocks on our chin, and to engage in satisfying relationships and friendships. Research suggests that self-esteem increases over time, depending on our experiences in childhood and early adulthood, before stabilising and then falling in old age. It is reasonable to want to improve self-esteem – here are some ways:
- Listen to your self-talk. Treat yourself kindly by being encouraging, supportive, and kind to yourself. Rationalise negative thoughts so you have a balanced and honest self-view. Remember your positives.
- Don’t allow anyone to mistreat you either – check your relationships and friendships are not one-sided or even abusive.
- Take time for fun and enjoyable activities; this might be exercise, a hobby, or social events (everyone enjoys different things).
- Learn new skills. Set short and appropriate goals as achievement can raise self-esteem.
- Take good self-care; this might be by making good lifestyle choices, perhaps by cutting down or stopping drinking alcohol, eating well, or getting a massage.
- Use assertive communication. You are more likely to get your needs met. People who are passive in their communication often get walked all over.
- Experience feelings. Learn to ‘sit with’ uncomfortable feelings and consider what you might need to support yourself at the time; remembering that difficult feelings come and go.
- Accept compliments! This can be difficult but merely saying “thank you” is useful.
- Avoid comparing yourself to others. Everyone has different strengths, weaknesses, and qualities, you included.
- Learn to value and appreciate your own qualities – write them down to remind yourself, especially in a low moment. You might ask a friend to help you with this.
- Use positive affirmations or mantras. Try to embrace the affirmation and live with these good values.
- Try to stop worrying – accepting what you cannot change or control. Acceptance of ourselves and our future is fantastic for self-esteem.
A Psychologist can help you to achieve positive and increased self-esteem using evidence-based therapy. Reach out if you need support or encouragement.

“Too bad, it was a cloudy day. You really can’t see any shadows.”
My friend, the inventor Dennis Purcell, corrected me: “I don’t think it was cloudy. It was a bright, sunny day. Or perhaps cloudy-bright.”
Dennis explained that most 19th century photographic emulsions are blue-sensitive and hence cannot record the sky – overcast, partially cloudy and sunny skies are all overexposed. The sky is a featureless white, but the “whiteness” of the sky is unrelated to the question of whether there are clouds or whether you can see shadows. It was only much later that panchromatic film was developed. (This accounts for what I would call The Wisconsin Death-Trip Effect, after the book by the same name. Scandinavian immigrants in turn-of-the-century Wisconsin might not be insane, but they look insane because their blue eyes are white in the pre-panchromatic emulsions used to produce the photographs.)
Valley of the Shadow of Death. By Eric Zimmerman.
The same image as above, digitally altered to demonstrate the effect of blue sensitive emulsion. Alteration by John Purcell.
In both ON and OFF the sky may look overcast, but you can see shadows. You have to look at the shadows on the cannonballs and from those shadows it may be possible to calculate the height of the sun in the sky.

It was an historic occasion. I arrived with my cameraman, Bob Chappell, and his first assistant, Eric Zimmerman, within a few days of the 150th anniversary of the fall of Sebastopol on September 8, 1855. The airport at Simferopol — the Crimea’s capital — was clotted with dozens of elderly British tourists arrived on the afternoon flight from Istanbul. For a brief moment I had this fantasy that I would make a movie about people at the end of their lives reaching back into some unknowable past, trying to recover something perhaps unknowable about their own past. I would follow them about. Record their attempts to reconnect with history.
Because of the anniversary, it was difficult to locate an available guide, but eventually we found the often disgruntled Olga Makarova – the guide of guides. When I told her about the “Valley of the Shadow of Death,” she assumed that I wanted to go to the Valley of Death, the site of the charge of the Light Brigade. Susan Sontag herself points out the difference – to disabuse us, her readers, of the possibility of such confusion. There is even the suggestion in Sontag that Fenton might have deliberately fostered such confusion. She writes, “…in the first version of the celebrated photo he was to call ‘The Valley of the Shadow of Death’ (despite the title, it was not across this landscape that the Light Brigade made its doomed charge).” Tennyson, in his poem “The Charge of the Light Brigade,” writes about “the valley of death,” not “the valley of the shadow of death”:

Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow…
— T.S. Eliot, “The Hollow Men”
“You mean to tell me that you went all the way to the Crimea because of one sentence written by Susan Sontag?” My friend Ron Rosenbaum seemed incredulous. I told him, “No, it was actually two sentences.”
The sentences are from Sontag’s “Regarding the Pain of Others,” her last published book.
Here are the two sentences:
Not surprisingly many of the canonical images of early war photography turn out to have been staged, or to have had their subjects tampered with. After reaching the much shelled valley approaching Sebastopol in his horse-drawn darkroom, [Roger] Fenton made two exposures from the same tripod position: in the first version of the celebrated photo he was to call “The Valley of the Shadow of Death”(despite the title, it was not across this landscape, that the Light Brigade made its doomed charge), the cannonballs are thick on the ground to the left of the road, but before taking the second picture – the one that is always reproduced – he oversaw the scattering of the cannonballs on the road itself.

Fibonacci is different from Martingale. At Martingale you double the amount of the previous lost bet, while at Fibonacci you place검증사이트 site bets by adding up the values of the last two bets, for example: $ 10 bet, $ 15 bet, $ 25 bet, $ 40 bet. These are two strategies that increase the bet value exponentially, but at Fibonacci the increased value is less than 2 times.
Fibonacci in Sportsbook
Using this strategy requires two vital rules for success. The first is to raise the bet amount, the second is to bet at a minimum odd of 2,618.
- Only bet on odds higher than 2,618.
- Make the value of your stake follow the sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21… etc.
Economists applied the Fibonacci sequence to sports betting, and because they are mathematical professionals in the field, they predicted that it is not profitable to bet on sports through Fibonnaci, because in a match between two teams equal the odd should be 3.0 – win of the client, win of the visitor and draw – but it’s not 3.0, houses put rates on top of their odds and so they are lower. Another thing is in events with teams of different capacities, you always pay less for the team that is most likely to win, and only betting on the best in the long run is no guarantee of success, especially with houses adding rates on their odds.
- Searching deeper into google about Fibonacci in sports betting, Bet Tip found article say it is possible to profit from this strategy. A 2007 text by economists Archontakis and Osborne claimed that profitability with Fibonacci was possible in a simple but risky way.
- Archontakis and Osborne’s idea was to bet following the Fibonacci sequence at odds over 2,618. They tested it in 32 of the 64 games of the 2002 World Cup and made it. In 2012 a guy named Demir studied 32 previous seasons of European football’s major leagues games and found it possible (not guaranteed) to profit by following the strategy.
What was not said by me is that all of the above have tested Fibonacci by betting. Why the draw? Bookmakers usually pay high for the draw. In the 80s there was the first idea of using Fibonacci in sports betting, economists Thaler and Ziemba claimed that the draw was the best bet for the sequence just because in the draw only the odds exceeded 2,618 in all (or almost all) games.
But the important thing is that the value of the odd is at least 2,618
The sports betting market has developed a lot, markets suggest and there is a flurry of information on the internet in the palm of your hand. So when someone says that the Fibonacci strategy is tied to a draw, you contest, the important thing here is to bet on the minimum odds of 2,618.

In his first exhibition in Vienna, Hans Haacke focuses on “a single problem area: how the country deals with its history and national identity. More than I care for, these questions stir up emotions both in Austria and Germany.” To his mind, the works he produced for Graz in 1988 and 1996 have, unfortunately, lost none of their relevance. Issues relating to the construction of identity are also evident in his project for the Reichstag building in Berlin, 1999. In the new installation, Mia san mia (We are who we are), developed especially for this exhibition, he takes up this theme from another topical perspective.
These projects, as well as selected historical works, will be presented in the publication in the form of texts and photographs. Two essays will discuss the works in a wider context. The book thus contributes to the current discourse (“culture of memory.”) Numerous writings from Haacke will be made available in English and German for the first time.

Written by Wendy Karpel Kreitzman Friday, 31 December 2010 00:00
The Village of Great Neck took one more step forward in its Old Village, New Main Street Project, with village counsel instructed to draft legislation to revise zoning both the north and south ends of Middle Neck Road in the village. The rezoning proposals were discussed at the Dec. 21 board of trustees meeting, with the mayor making the rezoning proposals, with the consensus of the board of trustees.
Mayor Ralph Kreitzman asked village attorney Stephen Limmer to draft legislation that would rezone the east side of Middle Neck Road, south of Baker Hill Road, to include multi-family residences. This legislation would permit this multi-family zoning to be either the same as or similar to the current apartment zoning. The mayor noted that the other side of Middle Neck Road (south of CVS) is now already all temples or apartments, as is the area below Piccadilly Road on the east side of Middle Neck Road.
For the area north of Arrandale Avenue/Hicks Lane, for the east side, once again the proposal is for multi-family apartment buildings. Plus, there would be a “permissible townhouse component,” according to the mayor. As for everything already existing in those areas, those buildings would be “grandfathered” (allowed to remain).
With respect to the commercial area in between, the concept is to permit apartments above stores. Mayor Kreitzman indicated that they should also consider three stories for certain buildings with some incentive zoning in this area “to foster store front rentals to sought-after businesses.” The mayor said that there would need to be more thoughts with respect to this area, such as the need for parking. Such further recommendations will be discussed before any law is drafted.
Following two recent meetings with the architects and a meeting with the Great Neck Park District (to plan coordinating efforts with work on the Village Green), the plans began to move forward. Meetings with the park district have focused on revitalization and how work on the village and on the Village Green can be mutually helpful; a “win-win” situation.
Although the rezoning had been discussed informally several times, including a number of focus group discussions, the subject was first raised at a board meeting on Dec. 21.
The architects working on the revitalization of Middle Neck Road will issue a report regarding the consensus and the issues raised by focus groups, as well as some additional recommendations. Mayor Kreitzman said that report will hopefully come before the village in January. Other issues to be addressed include recommendations for signs, awnings, and façade guidelines. Some of these components have already been reviewed, in draft, by the mayor and Deputy Mayor Mitchell Beckerman.
As well, the mayor has already met with engineers to discuss repaving and improvement to certain village parking lots, sidewalks, and the “apron” between the sidewalk and the road in specific areas. Mayor Kreitzman explained that there will probably be some “significant” work on some of the parking lots in connection with the 2011 village roadway program.
Smoking Ban for
Middle Neck Road
Also at the Dec. 21 board meeting, the mayor and trustees continued a public hearing on a proposed local law to prohibit smoking along Middle Neck Road (in the Old Village) and on portions of adjoining streets. This is Bill 6 of 2010.
Mayor Kreitzman said that the law was first proposed in response to merchants who have approached the village, saying that customers come into their stores and complain of the smoke outside the shops and the problem of smoke coming into the stores.
At the public hearing the mayor suggested changing the proposed law to limit smoking on sidewalks on Middle Neck Road and the adjoining areas, just in front of commercial buildings and the Village Green park. After further discussion, the area in front of the Senior Housing Authority at 700 Middle Neck Road, and areas around village benches in village parking lots was added.
Due to these material changes, the law could not be adopted at this meeting. The public hearing was closed and the village attorney will draft revised legislation. This revised legislation will come before the board at the Jan 4 meeting.

TechnoPharm 2010 has been the occasion to discover our new solutions for the processing of pharmaceutical products. Our staff illustrated the innovative features of our new solutions on show as well as our wide range of machines and complete lines to meet all the requirements of the pharmaceutical industry.
IMA ACTIVE Division exhibited new machines for the processing of pharmaceutical products.
The ADAPTA’s DNA has its roots in IMA’s 50 years of experience and more than 5,000 capsule filling installations worldwide. This knowledge and experience have allowed the IMA capsule fillers to evolve and adapt to the ever changing requirements of the market. The machine features an exceptional design flexibility: two of its dosing units are reversible/interchangeable giving the possibility of a plug and play shift between different machine configurations and filling combinations. The machine is designed to dose 3 products (up to 5 upon request) into the same capsule, reaching a speed of 100,000 capsules/hour. The ADAPTA also has an indisputable efficiency as far as in-process control is concerned. With the appropriate options, total production control can be achieved thanks to individual check of product dosage and 100% control of gross and/or net weight.
The new KILIAN S250 Smart has been developed to enhance the concept of flexibility and automation of the proven S250 tablet press, well known for its robustness and reliability. The new version combines established technology with the latest controls and an interchangeable turret. The upper machine head can be lifted to ease turret removal and allow access to the inner part of the press. This operation shortens the cleaning time and improves machine flexibility: the turret can be removed simply and quickly and can be swung out and positioned on a trolley. The machine has a very compact design and is operated via a modern touch screen control. The S250 Smart is available in three versions: Traditional, Classic and Prime. The machine reaches a maximum production speed of 300,000 tablets/hour and will be connected to ECONO-TEC dedusting unit and metal detector.
The GHIBLI is a very flexible fluid bed processing machine which can be set up to accept different product bowls, depending on product formulation and type of applications. The change from one insert to another can be done without tools and is therefore quick and easy. The product containers are fitted with an air distributor with screen designed to avoid product loss into the lower part of the machine, while the patented spraying system operates by means of a binary nozzle avoiding dripping. The granulation chamber can be lowered and rotated by means of a patented system, so that filter change and positioning are carried out from the external part of the machine without any need of lifts or platforms. Fabric and metallic filters are both available. Installations up to 12 bar ATEX compliant are available. A high flow Clean In Place is supplied to optimize cleaning times and water consumption. GHIBLI can be easily integrated with other granulation equipment for highly automated and contained installations.
Finally on show, the SPINE: an automatic inspection and sorting system for tablets and capsules produced by SENSUM. The machine has an ergonomic design and inspects the entire surface of tablets and capsules (i.e. size, shape, cracks, colour deviations, etc.) reaching a high inspection speed.
IMA ACTIVE Division offers a complete range of machines for the process and production of solid dose products. Granulation equipment, manufactured both by IMA and ZANCHETTA, for wet granulation and drying for all types of production and layout requirements. Tablet press machines manufactured both by IMA and by KILIAN suitable for pharmaceutical, chemical, food and cosmetic industries. Capsule filling machines with a wide assortment of filling and control systems. Coating systems with solid wall and perforated pans. Checkweighers for 100% control of tablets and capsules. Very flexible powder handling and washing systems manufactured by ZANCHETTA.
IMA LIFE offers machines for washing and sterilising pharmaceutical vials, filling and stoppering machines for aseptic environments, filling and closing machines for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, microdosing machines for aseptic powder filling and, thanks to IMA EDWARDS*, industrial and pilot freeze-dryers. IMA LIFE also offers labellers, blowing machines, depackers and traying machines. In 2009 IMA LIFE acquired PHARMASIENA, an Italian company that specialise in the design and production of filling machines for ampoules and syringes in aseptic environments.
IMA SAFE is the only manufacturer that offers complete primary and secondary packaging line solutions to the pharmaceutical, toiletry, cosmetic and food industries. Blister machines have speed ranges from low to super high speed (1,300 blisters/minute). Low speed machines are also manufactured by the subsidiary PRECISION GEARS (India). Tablet counting machine production includes IMA SAFE NOVA (USA) and IMA SAFE SWIFTPACK (UK). Tube fillers are manufactured by IMA SAFE CO.MA.DI.S., while horizontal and vertical cartoners are manufactured by IMA SAFE. IMA SAFE LINE offers a complete range of end of line equipment which includes over-wrapping, shrink-wrapping, case packing and palletizing solutions.

Les Dunn has packed his bags, ready for the trip of a lifetime to the tranquil countryside of northern France.
And while the retired pilot is looking forward to sampling the local delicacies and attractions of the Somme, it will be the horrors of war occupying his mind.
Les is one several hundred Australians travelling half way around the world to attend a special dawn service in the rural town of Villers-Bretonneux on Anzac Day.
It was there 90 years ago that Australian diggers staged a mammoth battle against German troops on April 24 and 25, 1918, which ultimately liberated the town and helped turn the course of World War I.
Locals are busy putting the finishing touches to a week-long celebration, culminating in memorial services in the town and nearby military cemeteries dedicated to the thousands of Australian soldiers who lost their lives saving Villers-Bretonneux and other towns in France and Belgium.
Tourism operators expect the area to be flooded with Australians wanting to pay their respects on Anzac Day, with hotel rooms and bed and breakfasts in the area booked out several months ago.
Many of the Australians who will visit Villers-Bretonneux see the Anzac Day commemorations there as a unique chance to pay their respects to relatives who fought there or in nearby towns scattered throughout the Somme.
Les said he decided to book himself on a tour because he was curious to retrace the fatal footsteps his grandfather, Les Clark Dunn, took as a young soldier on the Western Front.
"It's something that has grown on me with time," he says.
"By default I've become the family historian and seeing I'm now the head of the queue, I guess, and before I pass on I would like to let my grandchildren know where they come from.
"It's a pilgrimage for me, really. I expect I'll need about 15 boxes of tissues. It's going to be emotional. There's no doubt about it."
Les' grandfather was just 27 when he enlisted in the 31st Battalion of the Australian Imperial Force and sailed from Australia in late 1915 bound for a training camp in Egypt.
After arriving in France in July 1916, the former cigar maker from Melbourne found himself involved in what was to become the worst day in Australia's military history - the battle of Fromelles.
Australian forces suffered 5,533 casualties, including nearly 2,000 deaths, in just one night of fighting in the tiny French village, while about 170 disappeared.
Les' grandfather was among those never seen again.
"It was literally a baptism of fire. It was an absolute shemozzle. It was criminal," said the retiree, who lives at Bowral in the NSW Southern Highlands.
Two years later, some of the diggers who survived Fromelles found themselves in the thick of things once more at Villers-Bretonneux.
The battle on the eve of Anzac Day 1918 has not achieved the notoriety of Gallipoli, with many Australians probably never having even heard of it.
But if it were not for the actions of Australia's brave diggers in the small rural town, the entire course of the Great War could have been altered.
German troops had recaptured Villers-Bretonneux on April 24, thinking it would provide them with a strategic gateway southwards to capture Paris.
But the Australians were determined to win back "VB", as the town was affectionately known, and staged a massive fightback that night in a daring simultaneous counterattack from the north and south that stopped the German advance.
By the next morning the town had been liberated, but at the heavy cost of 1200 Australian lives.
Samuel Spittle spent nearly four years in Europe as army horse and carriage driver delivering much-needed supplies of food, ammunition and medicines to Australian troops on the Western Front, including Villers-Bretonneux.
A keen letter writer, he regularly sent stories of his war-time adventures to his family in rural Victoria - many of which have been collated into a book for his modern-day relatives.
His son Graeme, 78, has read them all and been inspired to join a tour of the Western Front for Anzac Day so he can see "what's what".
"The main purpose of the trip is just to see where he spent his time," Graeme said.
"He took lots of pictures and sent postcards while he was away. His letters weren't censored very much, but he usually wrote that he was 'somewhere in France'."
In his letters Spittle, who was known by his family as "the war correspondent", described his dislike of English army officers and nights stuck out on the battlefields in thick mud while shells rained down.
His first impressions of France were its red-roofed houses in the countryside and lack of "able-bodied men".
He also witnessed soldiers enduring "great hardships and sickness" in bitterly cold conditions on the front lines.
During his time on the Western Front, Spittle was awarded a medal for gallantry after he released horses from their stables and rescued other farm animals amid a German shell attack.
He returned to Australia in 1919 and spent the rest of his life farming until he died from cancer aged 51 in 1942.
Local historian Yves Potard has studied extensively the contribution of Australian troops across the Western Front, and says the French remain grateful for their sacrifices.
"The Australian soldiers made a big sacrifice for French people to liberate them and during the war and a lot of them were just 18 and 19 years old," he says.
"They had never seen war, they had no future. They gave their lives to liberate our country.
"A lot of Australians are still in the earth here."
The links between the two countries, it seems, have never been stronger.


Sweet Teen's Family Still Hopeful
File under: Hands Where They Don't Belong
The McMillian Family is expressing hope they'll again see sweet teen Diane back in the their safe, loving embrace. She's still in the decidedly creepy embrace of the Living Love Fellowship and their wrinkly old sex monkey UFO guru, Amadon Amadon.
Family members are convinced Diane has been brainwashed into sending disparaging remarks about her father Ian by email to the South African press. While lawyers have stopped their publication for now, Diane's sisters are chiming in with a statement of their own:
We regard these accusations as a direct attack on our father, whom they are attempting to break, because he is determined to retrieve Diane from [Amadon's] clutches. It is still to be established whether it is truly Diane behind these letters or, in fact, Amadon.We believe we may have a plan for the McMillians. Sisters Angela and Laurie could be offered as trade for Diane. Since we imagine the freaky old pervert's grabbing hands are completely controlled by his shriveled little winkie, Amadon will be helpless and unable to resist the offer. If they meet up in a third-world country for the handoff, the local authorities could be bribed to nab the drunk "daddy" for whatever trumped up charges they come up with. The sisters McMillian will be reunited once again and the slimy sex monkey from Oregon will be left to deal with admirers of an entirely different disposition, ones who will almost certainly teach him a lesson about who the real daddies are.
By way of [Cult News]


Panic has not yet set in for the Gators, but at 0-2 in the SEC, perhaps it should. Tonight, the Gators (11-5, 0-2 SEC) face LSU (9-7, 0-2) in Gainesville. The Gators, with 0-2 UGA, can also look up at the rest of the SEC East tonight. Kentucky, Tennessee, Vandy and South Carolina are all unbeaten in SEC play. A loss tonight and the Gators can start putting together their NIT bid book.
Andy Katz wrote about the Gators this week and came away with the idea that UF needs a sense of urgency. Billy Donovan brought up something that has been missing on this team, post National Championships;
"I'm anxious to see how this team responds against LSU," Donovan said. "It's critical for us to separate ourselves. Do they come together as a group? How will this team come together for practice Thursday? What kind of effort will we have? There are external motivational things that happen, like playing Michigan State or Kentucky. But how internally motivated are you?"
No one disputes that UF can play or has talented guys. But there is either a lack of motivation or toughness. Yes,Vernon Macklin is getting in foul trouble, but he's not a kid anymore. He should know how to use his body without getting called. Erving Walker can chuck it with the best, but he also needs to learn to find guys in space. UF's failure to find scorers is a failure of the players and Donovan. But it is also a failure of the offense. In the last two games, Walker and Kenny Boynton have taken a combined 63 shots. The three other starters (Werner, Tyus, Macklin) have taken 41. I think we all agree Werner should not be within 10 feet of the ball on offense, but only Tyus (20) is close to Boynton's 38 and Walker's 25 shots attempted in SEC play. Chandler Parsons, who needs to replace Werner, is 6-10 shooting in his last two games. That's not enough shots for a kid who is at least willing to go to the rim, even if he gets knocked off on his way in.
The toughness question is not to be taken lightly. A lot of UF fans thought Matt Walsh wasn't tough, but he played his entire junior year with an infection that peeled the skin off his feet. You don't really know who is tough and who isn't unless you're in the locker room. But, watching this team after being spoiled with assassins like Lee Humphrey and Corey Brewer, you can't help but thinking if these guys have the extra gear needed to win. They can start proving that they do have that something extra with a win tonight, kicking off a solid winning streak.

You snuck out of the castle, tired after days of work. You
had nothing but a tattered dress and a cloth wrapped around your head to keep
you warm. It wasn't enough as you shivered in the fall air. It was a wonderful
sight though, the nature during fall. The trees still had plenty of leaves that
burned with fire, and swayed in the wind. The ground was plenty green and had
carpets and blankets of leaves. You were walk when a startling breeze flew
towards you, tearing off your cloth and having your (h/c) hair dance behind
you. You look at the direction of the wind and see a red and orange leaves
close toghter, forming a path. You look at it curiously and walk on it and
wondering where it would take you. Strange
hissing noises started leaking into your ear as you went closing. Soon it
started turning into melodic voices.
"There every herd, by sad experience, knows
How, winged with fate, their elf-shot arrows fly,
When the sick ewe her summer food forgoes,
Or, stretched on earth, the heart-smit heifers lie."
You stopped, your heart beating. It had to Elves and
Faeries! You then sped up, wanting to see what they were doing. You peeked
behind a wide tree, intently looking at the little creatures. You (e/c) eyes
were temporily blinded for the incredible light coming from where they were.
Oh the view!
The faeries and elves were dancing in a circle, singing and
laughing. Others were sitting at mushroom tables eating berries and little
cakes. Oddly none of them stepped into the middle of the circle; even the fireflies
swerved clear of it. You took this all in, amazed at everything. Suddenly
everyone started shushing each other, looking in your direction in awe. You
looked behind you but no one was there. A little faery flew up to you and
bowed. She tugged at your hand, very hard. You expected to trip but you just
seemed to float forward. Float?! You looked at yourself and felt your head.
Your hair was (wavy/straight/curly) and was (pinned up/ hanging down) with a
wreath of (gold/silver) leaves. Your dress was now made of (f/c) (flower) and it was up to your knees
and swaying gently. The biggest surprise was that you had huge (f/c) butterfly
wings floating behind you. You fluttered them slowly, letting the little faery
lead you. She stopped at the border of the middle of the ring but pushed you forward.
The elves and faeries watched and waited for something.
"May I have this dance?"
You had heard that voice before.
You heard it every day.
Turning around you saw Prince Arthur standing also in the
middle of the circle. He held out his hands, the emeralds on his face gleaming
kindly. You took them gently, and started to dance with him. Time seem to stop
right there. You were not a slave, you were not bound. You were free. Eerie
music rang out and singing followed the beat of your slow dance. Eventually you
laid your head onto his shoulder, as the sun began to rise.
You felt a sharp pain right where your heart was as the sun
went up. Prince Arthur looked up also and let go of you. Your wings and
everything disappeared into thin air, leaving you as a slave again. Even after
that Arthur smiled at you and took your hand. You both walked up to the castle,
where you knew you would be freed from you chains.
It happened like that every night for a while now.
Everything would happen exactly the same, yet every time was different. The
days still went by. You were still a slave when you were in the castle.
You were elbow up in soapy water, cleaning the dishes from
lunch. Other slaves and maids worked by you, chattering.
"He’s going to announce today"
"Said it was going to be such a surprise"
"It has to be Princess Lily"
"What’s going on?" you asked, surprised by everyone’s
"Oh didn't you know ___? Prince Arthur said he was
going to announce his bride today at dinner! Even we maids and slaves are going
to see it!" one fellow slave sighed.
"Wouldn't it be dreamy if he chose a maid, like
me!" another exclaimed.
Tears ran down your face as you thought of him. After he got
married, he wouldn't be able to dance with you. Alone together in the nights, surround
by magic. Anyone would have killed for one minute in your nighttime adventures.
You were wearing your regular clothes and stood off to the
side as everyone important ate. A clinging stopped everyone’s hushed
conversations. Prince Arthur stood up so everyone could see him. Everyone was
waiting for his announcement. Turning over and facing your direction he uttered
"I wish to marry ___"

game, and the nameplate over his locker was taken down quickly.
"Anytime you have an opportunity like this, you're just full of
emotions," Moseley said after Monday night's 10-5 win over the
Cleveland Indians. "I'm super excited. The lights are a lot
brighter here. ... It was a great opportunity and a lot of fun out
The two-time defending AL West champs have won 12 of 13 overall
to climb within a half-game of division-leading Oakland.
"There's a lot of confidence in this room, you can feel that,"
Moseley said. "And that helped me out."
Moseley allowed four runs and 10 hits in five innings. The
right-hander, acquired from Cincinnati in a December 2004 trade
that sent Ramon Ortiz to the Reds, struck out two and didn't walk a
batter in a spot start for the ailing Jered Weaver.
The Indians have lost eight of 10 to fall a season-worst 10
games under .500 and 21 games out of first place in the AL Central.
Jake Westbrook (7-5) was charged with seven runs -- five earned --
and 12 hits over 3 2/3 innings in his shortest outing since May 8,
2005, when he lasted only 3 1/3 in a 7-2 loss at Texas.
Cleveland twice used home runs to pull within one run. Travis
Hafner narrowed the gap to 3-2 in the third with a leadoff drive
that just cleared the 18-foot wall in right field. It was his 28th
homer and ninth in 17 games.
Jason Michaels, who got Sunday off following a 6-for-34 rut that
dropped his average to .264, sliced the Angels' lead to 5-4 in the
fourth with his eighth homer of the season after a leadoff double
by Todd Hollandsworth. But Moseley and Hector Carrasco combined to
retire 11 in a row before Victor Martinez's leadoff single in the
"I was working behind in the count a lot, made a couple of
mistakes, and they took advantage of it," Moseley said. "I'm glad
the team put some runs for me, and the bullpen did a great job."
Cabrera's seventh homer gave the Angels a 7-4 lead in the
fourth. Izturis singled in a run in the eighth and finished
4-for-5. Vladimir Guerrero went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI singles
for the Angels, who got 15 of their 17 hits in the first five
"Our situational hitting's much better, and we certainly got
our share of two-out hits tonight with guys in scoring position,"
manager Mike Scioscia said. "I liked our approach. We were patient
enough against a good pitcher, worked some deep counts and attacked
them the way we had to."
Guerrero tied it with a two-out RBI single after a double by
Izturis, then Anderson wrapped his eighth homer of the season
around the right-field pole on a 2-1 pitch. Westbrook came in with
an AL-best groundball-to-flyball ratio of 3.31, and had allowed
only five home runs in 96 1/3 innings over his previous 15 starts.
Anderson, the Angels' career leader in hits and RBI, started as
the designated hitter for the fifth straight game because of a sore
hamstring while Juan Rivera played left field. Rivera made it 4-2
in the bottom of the third with an RBI double after Mike Napoli
reached on a two-out throwing error by third baseman Ramon Vazquez.
Kendry Morales followed Rivera with a run-scoring single.
"It was my job to pick the team up right there, and I did the
complete opposite," Westbrook said.
The Angels recalled LHP Joe Saunders from Salt Lake to make
another spot start on Tuesday night. Saunders' outing is for RHP
Kelvim Escobar, who has elbow problems but is expected to return to
the rotation during the weekend. ... Despite his brief outing,
Westbrook leads the Cleveland staff with 119 2/3 innings pitched
after throwing more than 200 innings in each of the previous two
seasons. He is trying to join Rick Waits, Charles Nagy and
knuckleballer Tom Candiotti as the only Indians pitchers since 1975
to work at least 200 innings in three or more consecutive seasons.
... Hafner has 104 career homers, just 10 shy of injured Angels CF
Darin Erstad for the most by a player born in North Dakota. Both
players hail from Jamestown. Erstad, on the DL indefinitely because
of ankle problems, has not homered in 91 at-bats this season. ...
Weaver, who missed his turn because of biceps tendinitis but also
is expected to return this weekend, made a special request to a
team official to have the video crew show brother Jeff's first
start for the St. Louis Cardinals on the scoreboard during batting
practice so he could see it. They did it just in time for Jered to
see his older brother and former Angels teammate give up a grand
slam to Atlanta's Brian McCann.

For commercial parking lots, there are two common paving materials to consider: concrete and asphalt.
Both concrete and asphalt make for durable and attractive parking surfaces but there’s more to choosing between them than just looks. While both are blends of sand and crushed stone called aggregate, they differ in many areas including durability, maintenance techniques, and specific use cases.
Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of both popular, durable paving materials to help you determine which is the best for your commercial parking lot.
What is Concrete?
Concrete is composed of a blend of gravel, sand, cement and water. It is best utilized for conditions where heavy truck traffic will be expected. It is also most commonly used where there will be extended point loadings from truck dollies, trash compactors, and in areas where oil or hazardous materials are stored to assist in spill or leak mitigation.
One specific-use paving material called Pervious concrete allows water to percolate through its surface acting as a surface drain. This is most commonly used for low lying areas that would hold water otherwise and is incorporated in a number of uses including pedestrian walkways, driveways, and portions of parking lots.
What is Asphalt?
Asphalt is a blend of a range of aggregate sizes and liquid binder – the glue – mixed and manufactured in a plant. The blend is approximately 95% aggregate and 5% liquid binder. The exact amount of each is determined by the intended use of the surface, anticipated loadings, and its design criteria.
Concrete and asphalt rank high on the durability scale but both have their limitations.
Concrete can generally last up to 30 years and beyond if constructed properly. It’s strong in compressive strength so it’s resistant to surface loads and is a rigid pavement, meaning it does not deflect under loading. Since it does not utilize any oil based bituminous components, it does not need to be sealcoated to maintain its integrity and is good to go with very little maintenance required.
Asphalt doesn’t perform as well under heavy loads or in areas where water is ponded and can lead to certain areas cracking, the formation of potholes, and fatigue cracking indicating a permanent failure.
While asphalt parking surfaces can last up to 18 years, it’s important to note that this parking surface will require more general maintenance and repair overtime than concrete.
Depending on the aesthetic you’re going for, you will want to consider the color of the surface. Asphalt surfaces start out black and oxidize to gray over time, while concrete surfaces are gray to white naturally but can be poured with integral color for aesthetics.
Concrete tends to have a smoother, more polished appearance and, because of its light color, reflects sunlight instead of absorbing it. This is an important consideration for areas where the urban heat island effect is a concern and for municipalities which require high albedo surfaces.
Both concrete and asphalt surfaces require general and routine maintenance. Concrete surfaces are inflexible and can crack over time. This is usually due to improper joint spacing. The best way to maintain failed areas of concrete is to cut and replace them full depth and to seal cracks to prevent more costly repairs.
The majority of asphalt failures come from a combination of poor drainage and fatigue cracking from heavy traffic loads, which can lead to potholes and sinkholes when left untreated. Surface failures such as raveling, loose aggregate on the surface are the result of oxidation from sun removing the top layer of liquid binder. To prevent this, routine sealcoating should be implemented.
Sealcoating provides a protective layer on top of the pavement surface that does not allow it to oxidize and thus keeps the top layer of rock secure in place.
We recommend you consider sealcoating as part of an ongoing and budgeted maintenance program instead of as a remedial process once damage has been discovered.
To address the question of cost of asphalt versus asphalt, concrete is more costly on the front end but will last longer with less required maintenance and asphalt is less costly on the front end but comes with a higher lifetime maintenance cost. This is why we look at intended use as one of our primary deciding factors in which material to use.

Today the Memphis Commercial Appeal is reporting that the Grizzlies have laid off ALL of their amateur scouts. That means every guy who once watched college players for the Grizzlies to evaluate their merits as draft picks are now liquidated. But at least things will be more fun around the office, GM Chris Wallace noted: "I prefer a smaller group."
To be fair to Wallace, however, it's not like he's allowed to make any decisions. This was clearly a Michael Heisley cost-cutter. If Wallace called the shots I don't think we would be watching Hasheem Thabeet next season. And we definitely would still have Hakim Warrick, as the CA summarized best after the jump:
Hakim Warrick would still be on the team. Nobody on the basketball side endorsed Heisley's decision to let Warrick walk.
Heading into the offseason, Wallace described Warrick as "one of the most potent bench scorers in the league." At the press conference introducing Hasheem Thabeet, head coach Lionel Hollinssaid he'd be mixing up the names "Hasheem" and "Hakim" all year long.
Or, not, as it turns out. The Grizzlies pulled their offer to Warrick because they didn't want to give him $3 million a year, or exactly as much as the Milwaukee Bucks then agreed to pay the guy.
Never mind that the Grizzlies said they needed more scoring off the bench. Never mind that they said they needed more veteran leadership.
The Grizzlies' second unit now consists of three rookies (Thabeet, Sam Young and DeMarre Carroll), one second-year player (Darrell Arthur) and one free agent (Marcus Williams, though the signing isn't official yet) who wasn't able to stick with the Nets or the Warriors.
So how do you put a positive spin on that? If you're not Wallace, I mean?

The U.S. Coast Guard announced this week that it has rolled out its MHS Genesis electronic health record system around the United States.
As reported by Lauren C. Williams at Federal Computer Week, Vice Admiral Paul Thomas told legislators during a House Transportation Subcommittee on the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation hearing on Tuesday that the Coast Guard is the first service to hit such a milestone.
“I’m happy to report that we have now gone live with our electronic medical records across the country,” said Thomas.
WHY IT MATTERS
The Coast Guard completed the go-live at 109 shore locations earlier this month, Williams reported.
Migration is still necessary for the service’s afloat sickbays and medical and dental radiology system, she said.
“Patients assigned to Atlantic Area clinics and sickbays can now use the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal to gain 24/7 access to personal health information documented within MHS GENESIS,” wrote Keisha Reynolds on the Coast Guard’s website on Friday.
“The transition to this system has a steep learning curve and requires significant changes in business practices. It is anticipated that sites will return to pre-deployment service levels within two to three months, alternative drug for xanax ” Reynolds wrote.
Meanwhile, as Williams noted, the Coast Guard has struggled with its infrastructure requirements.
In 2019, the Government Accountability Office found that nearly half of the service’s shore infrastructure was past its service date.
“Our recent and ongoing work on the Coast Guard’s IT infrastructure indicates that the Coast Guard could better apply certain decision processes as it manages investments in these systems,” said Heather MacLeod, acting director of Homeland Security and Justice, in prepared testimony.
THE LARGER TREND
The Department of Defense’s implementation of the MHS Genesis EHR has been chugging along: In April, the agency announced its successful deployment in 12 more states.
Despite hurdles presented by the pandemic, the project has continued to move forward – in marked contrast to parallel efforts at the Department of Veterans Affairs to modernize its own EHR system. That initiative has faced multiple setbacks.
Most recently, an Office of Inspector General report found that the scheduling component had carried several issues pre- and post-implementation.
“These limitations reduced the system’s effectiveness and risked delays in patient care,” read the report.
ON THE RECORD
“We have struggled with IT acquisitions. And the reason for that is that we’ve not looked at them as operational platforms. That changed several years ago. We’ve now modernized how we acquire, how we set requirements, acquire and sustain our IT systems because they are operational assets just like a cutter or a ship,” said the Coast Guard’s Thomas in his House testimony.

To quote John Locke (Lost), I was wrong
A while back while watching the teaser trailer of the movie, I started to wonder what the hell it was. I immediately jumped on the "I hate Avatar" bandwagon even though I wasn't aware of the story.
Fastforward to the present day. The only reason I watched the movie was because I have not watched a 3D movie before. I was pleasantly surprised & came out wanting to watch the movie again & again.
As the other comments have said, this movie is an experience. It has a little of everything & you experience everything between laughter & sorrow, hope & despair, love & loss. I believe in the movie so much that I had to write a review (my first ever).

DoorDash stock pops, tracking earnings beat, flush guidance
February 21, 2023: On Thursday, shares of DoorDash increased 6% in extended trading after the food delivery business reported better-than-anticipated sales for the fourth quarter and provided upbeat guidance for the present period.
The firm also approved a buyback of nearly $750 million in shares.
DoorDash attributed the wider-than-anticipated loss for the fourth quarter to charges connected to its acquisition of Finnish food delivery company Wolt and stock-related compensation expenses related to the layoffs in the previous November, the outcome of 1,250 jobs being slashed.
DoorDash stated that the total number of orders it provided in the fourth quarter grew 27% to 467 million, topping Wall Street’s projections for roughly 458 million orders, according to StreetAccount.
DoorDash expects marketplace gross order volume for the current quarter to be between $15.1 billion and $15.5 billion.
Analysts surveyed by StreetAccount look for $15 billion in marketplace gross order volume.
DoorDash stated in the quarterly revenues report that its president and COO, Christopher Payne, will leave.
Payne will be grown by DoorDash CFO Prabir Adarkar, taking over the COO role by March 1. Ravi Inukonda, DoorDash’s vice president of finances and strategy, will likely be the CFO.

For Immediate Release
Contact: Cheryl Hughey Apria Records
314-429-3450 [email protected]
The Art of Intimacy
With the release of Art of Intimacy on June 6, 2005, Veronica Martell is finally poised to bring her exquisite vocal stylings to American mainstream audiences - confirming what international audiences have known for years - Martell is “. . . a great voice that instantly catches you and keeps you beside the loud speakers,” as declared by Jyllands-Posten (Denmark’s largest newspaper).
Though she grew up listening to the pop music of the 70’s and 80’s, Martell was influenced by traditional greats like Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Sarah Vaughn and Nancy Wilson. Yet, modern singers such as Patti LaBelle, James Taylor and Anita Baker remained a staple of her vocal studies. In turn, her own writing and composition style would grow to embrace a mix of genres that would lead to work with TNN’s Nashville Network, off-Broadway productions, television, radio and movie soundtrack recordings.
For several years, Martell remained a fixture on the New York nightclub scene before releasing her first CD in fall of 1999, Big City Swing. This neo-swing recording led to an international tour to Denmark that included a critically acclaimed performance at the Copenhagen Blues Festival and an appearance on Good Morning Denmark in 2002.
Big City Swing won the adoration of internet audiences as well. Martell was chosen for the special segment, “Women of MP3.com,” which highlighted the careers of successful entrepreneurs in independent music.
Her eagerly awaited second release, Lucky, arrived in 2002 and soon made its way up the charts of worldwide jazz radio with the track, “Romancing the Blues” repeatedly hitting the top 100 countdowns in 2002. After touring extensively in Scandinavia, her 2002 European Tour would include performances at the Tuno Jazz Festival and the world-renowned Copenhagen Jazz Festival in Tivoli Gardens.
In 2003, Veronica’s single, “Too Young for the Blues,” was featured on the compilation album Jazz – In Celebration of Life that included tracks by Tony Bennett, Miles Davis, Sarah Vaughn and Charlie Parker among others. More recently, Martell teamed up with Kevin Mahogany in his chart-topping Big Band (2004) for what the Jazz Times playfully referred to as a “sinfully dusky” duet on “It’s Alright With Me.”
Signing with Apria Records in 2004, Veronica Martell releases The Art of Intimacy, a daringly provocative collection of contemporary songs that includes the singles “Blind” and “Dreams,” a cover of the Fleetwood Mac classic. Fed by the classics and nurtured on jazz, Martell carefully crafted The Art of Intimacy to reflect her own eclectic tastes. “I have always loved Stevie Nicks’ writing and “Dreams” was on one of the first albums I ever bought growing up. It definitely has roots in my past. My good friend Pete Belasco wrote “Love Don’t Pay The Bills,” shared Martell. “Sometimes I Wonder Why” and “Why Do People Fall In Love?” spoke lyrically to the artist, but are also beautifully complimented by the addition of a string quartet.
Wonderfully crafted with adult listeners in mind, The Art of Intimacy is positioned to be the premiere offering by an immensely gifted vocalist on the rise.

A beheld programming accent is one that allows the programmer to actualize programs by manipulating graphical elements rather than accounting textural commands. A acclaimed archetype is Scratch, a beheld programming accent from MIT that’s acclimated to advise children.
