Much of the transportation infrastructure in East Harlem has long been equated with poor public and environmental health and creates physical and mental barriers from scarce open space.
Bus depot and thru-traffic–particularly on the FDR– are thought to contribute towards the neighborhood’s poor air quality and high asthma rates. Infrastructure such as the Metro North viaduct and the FDR Drive seemingly block East Harlem residents from nearby Central Park to the west and the East River Esplanade to the east.
Recent developments in promoting active transportation modes such as walking and bicycling, combined with public transit use throughout East Harlem are helping to undo some of the harm of the aforementioned obstacles.
With support from Community Board 11,City Council Member Melissa Mark-Viverito, and from advocacy groups like CIVITAS and Transportation Alternatives grassroots support for more complete streets is beginning to take hold.
Streetfilms: East Harlem Complete Streets
Despite this progress, pedestrians still remain the most vulnerable street user. According to Transportation Alternatives, 106th, 116th and 125th Streets are hotspots for crashes, with 125th Street and Lexington Avenue ranking the most dangerous intersection in Community District 11, and second most on the East Side.
Safe Routes to Transit improvements that are accompanying updates to the streetscape along 1st and 2nd Aves in conjunction with M15 SBS service can provide more space for pedestrians and decrease crossing distances at intersections to improve safety and convenience for neighborhood pedestrians. Similar treatments should be expected when bus improvements along 125th St. come online.
Perhaps more alarming is the disparity between the Upper East Side and East Harlem. Children under 18 make up about 30% of residents in both East Harlem and the Upper East Side. However, in East Harlem children account for 43% of crash victims between cars and pedestrians or cyclists, while Upper East Side children represent less than 15%. The intersections where children were most likely to be struck are clustered around public housing. This is not only an issue of traffic justice, but also of social justice and public health.
Access to recreational space along the East River Esplanade is somewhat difficult. Though the path is popular among bikers and runners, only three pedestrian bridges over the FDR Drive to the esplanade at 102nd Street, 111th Street and 120th Street. Few signs point to these access point on the neighborhood side of the highway and the fly-over walkways are uninviting.
The esplanade itself is in a deteriorated condition, particularly compared to lower sections or similar paths on the west side of Manhattan, the Brooklyn waterfront and even along the Harlem River. There are many sink holes, indicative of the wearing away of the bulk head. Many of the trees and plants are dead, the railings are rusted and the pavement is cracked.
Pedestrian access to Randall’s Island–supposedly the bulk of East Harlem’s open space– is available from the 103rd and 125th St bridges. Just last year, the 103rd St. bridge re-opened after undergoing a two-year and $16.8 million renovation. Previously, the bridge was only open parts of the year and limited hour, and had become a magnate for crime. The 125th St access point remains rarely used and seemingly unsafe.
Advancements have been made in improving open space access and safety in the neighborhood, but work remains. We hope to use this plan to leverage further improvements in East Harlem by using all the tools in the NYC DOT toolbox to improve quality of life in this neighborhood.

Sadje is our host for the What Do You See photo challenge.
This was the way it was supposed to be.
Ornate gates and exquisite carvings, but where were the angels and harps in welcome?
Had she taken a wrong turn?
The gates were closed to her, and no amount of rattling loosened the locks to grant her access.
She peered through them, searching for a sign of activity amongst the trees and shrubbery flanking the wide open path.
It was eerily quiet. No birdsong, complete silence in fact, save for her own breathing.
‘Hello?’ she called.
Maybe she had to wait to be collected she thought.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of the gates, she started humming to herself.
The sound echoed in her head, but the ear worm had taken hold and she could not shake it.
In front of her, the path began to glow and she stood to receive whatever was going to be presented.
She was not prepared for the pain.
Surely this couldn’t be right?
It shot through her again, the light becoming increasingly brighter and detached voices floated into her consciousness.
‘She’s back’ said a male voice, calm and professional.
Behind shuttered eyelids she began to remember……….. the night, the rain, loss of control before hitting the gates and the last image in her mind was The Way.

The 5-year-old Argentinian bred earned a lofty 111 Beyer figure in registering his second grade III win of the campaign, having scored in the Aqueduct Handicap in mid-January. He also has a runner-up finish to Medaglia d'Oro in the (gr. I) Donn Handicap to his 2004 credits.
West Point Thoroughbreds' Seattle Fitz, the handy winner of the (gr. III) Schaefer Handicap at Pimlico on Preakness Day, will be entered in Saturday's $250,000 Brooklyn Handicap (gr. II) at Belmont Park, according to West Point president Terry Finley. "We were delighted with his race in the Schaefer, and he's coming to the Brooklyn in good shape," said Finley. "He earned his career-high Beyer (111) at Belmont last year, so we know he's comfortable there, too. We're expecting a very good effort from him on Saturday." Trained by Kiaran McLaughlin, he will be ridden by Richard Migliore, who rode Seattle Fitz to victory in the Schaefer.

I'd like to test out Construct2 to see if it's workable for the game I have in mind by building a small test project.
The plan is:
-Use a pre-fab kit for Zelda-style movement/combat for the player character (I assume these exist already for Construct2, as it's one of the most requested game types among amateur wannabe game developers like myself)
-Use the online multiplayer features added in in Construct2 R186 a few months back to allow four of these player characters simultaneously, played by four different people over the Internet
-Allow these players to attack simple enemies in an empty room.
My project involves multiplayer Zelda-esque combat, so this would be the bare minimum for a test case.
Does this sound easily doable with Construct2 as it currently stands? Or is the online multiplayer introduced in R186 not easily adaptable to Zelda-style combat?
Thanks for any advice you can offer!
It is possible, but multiplayer is not that easy to set up.
You have to set up yourself what has to be synchronized between the 4 players.
So you would have to synchronize for example:
Player facing direction
Enemy facing direction
Bullets, damage etc...
Also you have to keep in mind that:
There's currently no support for a dedicated server.
The multiplayer offers you only a signal server.
So players connect to the signal server, and the signal server does only set up a connection between the players.
Once that's done, the whole online part is running over the players computers via direct connection to each other.
This limits a few things such as a proper connection to each other as it depends on their location
As well as saving their progress, as it's only being saved localy.
For an unexperienced beginner it can be really hard to get everything to work using multiplayer.
I'm working on such a project myself right now, and i'm also a beginner.
Possible but not easy.
Good to know!
I have a couple of questions:
1. Support for dedicated servers is a planned feature, correct? So I can start building a game now that I envision running on a dedicated server one day, and then switch it over when the time comes?
2. My game world is separated into screens, much like the old Zelda games. A player on one screen would have no need to synchronize movement, attacks, etc. with a player as long as they're on another screen; this should massively cut down on data being sent back and forth at any given moment. Is this doable, to say "only synchronize player movement if you're within the same area of the game world"? I assume yes?
3. There's no planned PvP, only PvE. Nor is there twitch competition for PvE kills. So if one player's movement looks a little janky to the other, or one player sees themselves killing a mob on their screen but in fact the other player got the kill, that's totally okay.
4. In terms of saving progress -- can't Construct2 connect to a web server via any number of methods already, even prior to online multiplayer support? If all that's required is the Client to say "Hey, here's my unique ID, and here's my save data," and the Server to reply "Sure madame, I'm savin' your data right here, tip o' the hat" and fetch information from a database when asked, that sounds pretty feasible. Especially if I have a high degree of trust in the players and am not obsessed with preventing them from cheating.
5. The main way my players influence each other without being on the same screen together are through accomplishing world-changing events. If one player assassinates the king, another player on the other side of the world may find NPCs start discussing how the king was assassinated. In practical terms, this means global variables. When GlobalEvent.RoyalFamily.King.Assassinated? goes from 0 to 1, that needs to update for all players, but it's not the sort of thing that would be at all bandwidth intensive -- obviously, the players aren't assassinating kings left and right, on a 'fully populated' server (this game is meant to be played with a few dozen people on a server, any more than that and you'd want to make a new server) you'd probably have a Global Event variable being altered every hour or two. Can I write a simple rule that says "all GlobalEvent variables sync between all players whenever they're changed"?
6. Separately from all of the above... I can use Scirra to create solid-feeling Zelda-style combat, right? That's become fairly easy at this point, I hope?
1. I don't think so. It would be awesome, as i'm looking forward to it as well.
The only thing that scirra is currently offering us is either their own "official" signaling server as described above. So you don't have any control over the signaling server itself
Or what's pretty new is that they're now selling a license for your own signalling server so you can host it on your own one. But in the end it's still just a signalling server.
2. Yes i think that should be possible, so you could (for example) synchronize all the player data as long as they are on the same map / instance. So all you would have to do is some checks if a player enters or leaves an area.
3. That's perfect, makes it easier for you
4. I really don't know. But i would love to have this feature as well. I guess it's possible somehow, but haven't informed myself about it as of yet. I've just asked ones if there's a way to connect to a SQL database, but i've been told no.
5. There are global events yes, and it should be pretty easy to synchronize those yes.
6. I would say Construct 2 is perfect for a zelda style combat game. If you give your best, i would say you would be able to create a 1:1 copy of any old top down zelda game.
Hold up hold up hold up -- Construct2 can't connect to an SQL database?
Can it connect to a plain old text file on the web? Because it would be *super* janky, but you could have the database queried separately and have the result of that query output into a .TXT file that Construct2 then reads... but wow, I'm a little bit in shock at that.
Edit: Looks doable w/ AJAX...

LOL turns out I can't post URLs yet? But if you google "Construct2 sql" you'll see links along the lines of what I found.

Early Morning Beach Meditation
I woke up this morning early (about 6:30 a.m.) and suddenly felt the urge to “walk to the ocean.” Without even checking the weather, I grabbed a light jacket and strolled to the shore.
I understand how lucky I am to live in Myrtle Beach near the water. I mean, look at how many relaxation tapes have “ocean sounds” on them as a meditation option. All I have to do is take a few steps and there I am, gazing at the wide Atlantic.
The best time of day for many Myrtle Beach visitors may be around noon when the sand is packed with tourists, music, etc. But let me tell you my opinion as someone who has lived here a while – midday is a lot of fun, but to me, the best time to enjoy the beach is early morning when the air is crisp, right before sunrise.
This morning was a great example of how beach meditation helps me start my day off right. I walked to the beach access point that I normally go to and went through its path to the ocean (when you get to The Caravelle, you’ll see many of these places with wooden benches and steps right before reaching the sand). I sat on the steps, checked my watch, then looked up just in time to see the sun beginning to peek over the horizon. It takes about 3 or 4 minutes to go from a little glimmer behind the water to its entire bright and round form, and the experience is very spiritual. I don’t go every morning, but I try to go as often as possible.
Before or when you visit the Caravelle Resort, click on this and see what time the sun will rise here in Myrtle Beach, SC. The view will be one of the best starts to your day that you’ll ever have.

As the title suggests, everything this year has been about apps, namely the iPhone app store, which is a cut above the rest and has set the benchmark for all of the other competing manufacturers with it’s 100,000 apps trumping even the offering from the mighty Google, in the form of Android with it’s, rather embarrassing in comparison, 20,000 apps.
But what does the future hold? After all, in a matter weeks, the iPhone app store is going to become “old” news as we enter 2010, but what is set to take it’s place in the spotlight as the most sought after feature of the future?
Well, we have a sneaking suspicion that it may have something to do with the Broadcom BCM2763 VideoCore IV Processor, which, to the vast majority will mean nothing. Well, it is a new processor; but it’s a little bit special this one. The new processor is said to be able to give phones the ability to incorporate 20 megapixel cameras (yes twenty megapixels!) as well as being able to boast multiple shots per second, image stabilisation, panorama mode as well as face and smile detection. Oh, and the Broadcom BCM2763 VideoCore IV’s party piece? Full 1080p HD video recording.
Now that’s quite a big deal as you probably know. Could the mobile phone truly be on the brink of replacing the digital camera? Well, yes, if Broadcom have anything to do with it. However, not happy with possibly killing off the digital camera, apparently Broadcom has gaming consoles in it’s sights too. The new processor will allow full native graphics rendering in 1080p resolution, which if paired with an HDMI output, could quite easily see this transferred to a television for widescreen gaming too.
The good news doesn’t stop there either, as Broadcom claim the new processor not only has a smaller footprint than it’s predecessors, but will also have a lower power consumption, meaning a huge list of benefits, with, as far as we can tell, not a single drawback. That said, the price of this technology has not yet been disclosed and we can’t imagine it’ll come cheap, but at the end of the day, who cares where 20 megapixel cameras, 1080p video recording and HD gaming all in one, are concerned.
Keep an eye on the blog for more details.

''For several months I started consulting a website that provides amateur pornographic webcam shows. During the shows, the subjects move away from the room, to eat or to go to the bathroom. In those moments the spectator remains alone in a stranger's room. A young man/girl's bedroom is the emblem of his/her personality: the posters of favorite groups and photographs with friends. So I started shooting the various empty rooms, a saturated image with our favorite song as background.''

New Delhi: Expecting a further increase in the supply-demand gap of pulses, the government is considering importing more lentils to check prices, which are still ruling as high as Rs 180 per kg.
So far, state-owned Metals and Minerals Trading Corporation (MMTC) of India has imported 5,000 tonnes of tur on behalf of the government. The stock has been given to some state governments including Delhi at a subsided rate for further distribution in the open market.
Pulses prices continue to rule high due to fall in domestic production by 2 million tonnes in the 2014-15 crop year (July-June) due to 14 per cent deficit monsoon.

On Tuesday, a committee of secretaries from the Finance, Food and Consumer Affairs, Agriculture and Commerce ministries deliberated on availability and prices of pulses and other essential items.
“In the meeting, the committee decided to import more pulses. It also decided to monitor quantities of imported pulses on real time basis,” sources said.

It was decided that both Commerce and Consumer Affairs Secretaries will hold separate meetings with private traders as well as PSUs to chalk out a plan regarding the import of pulses for the coming months, they said.
The import plan for pulses is being kept in place amid concerns that the supply gap may widen significantly if the Rabi (winter) crop gets reduced by chance due to any adverse weather conditions.

Till last week of the ongoing 2015-16 Rabi season, which started in October, area sown to pulses was 74.06 lakh hectare, slightly lower than 77.42 lakh hectare in the year-ago period, according to the Agriculture Ministry’s data.
According to sources, the Food and Agriculture Ministries have been asked to achieve procure pulses and reach the targets set for creation of buffer stock.
Also read: Why are pulses getting costlier by the day?
The country’s pulses production was 17.20 million tonnes in the 2014-15 crop year, much lower than the requirement of 25 million tonnes. The gap is being met through imports.
India imports about four million tonnes of pulses largely through the private trade. But this time, the government has started importing pulses after a gap of two years.

About the Author
Times gone by snatch Rachelle Rea Cobb close, so she reads and writes about
years long ago– her passions include the Reformation, Revolutions, and romance.
Rachelle wrote the Steadfast Love series during college. Five months after she
graduated, she signed a three-book deal with her dream publisher, WhiteFire. She’s
a homeschool grad, Oreo addict, and plots her novels while driving around her dream car, a pick-up truck. In June 2016, she married a man with the same name as her fictional hero, and they live happily ever after in Small Town, South. She is also the author of Write Well, a guide for writers, which released on March 4th!
Interview with the Author
1. When and where did you first get the idea for the Steadfast Love Series?
A song I was listening to on the radio inspired the title of the first book. So I wrote Diamonds, but when I finished it, I realized to my great frustration that the characters weren’t done with their story, even though I had been quite adamant that I would write a stand-alone novel. But the story wasn’t finished, so I kept writing.
2. Readers often pick out favorite quotes from a novel. Do you have a favorite of your own from The Sound of Silver?
Yes! In fact, my friend Mindy, a calligrapher, even created a beautiful piece of art from one of my favorite quotes: “Within the pages of books one’s heart can be revealed.”
3. Can you tell us what first drew you to writing Inspirational Historical Romance?
My first exposure to the genre came when I read Heartsong Presents novels when I was twelve. Those small books introduced me to how much I believe in the power of story, especially love stories set in times gone by.
4. I saw on your website that you also write reviews, articles and offer editing services. What’s one of your favorite things beyond writing novels that you enjoy?
Editing is such fun! I daresay I enjoy editing a page full of my own (or others’!) words just as much as I enjoy splashing words onto a blank page. I recently released my first nonfiction book, Write Well, which is a short ebook designed as a guide writers!
Enter the Giveaway!
Enter using the Rafflecopter form below to signed copies of ALL THREE of Rachelle’s novels. The whole series, signed!

HBO’s Girls is the rare kind of show that succeeds by being brutally and uncomfortably honest. A program like Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm might explore some of the weird and awkward social mores that everybody likes to complain about, but when you’re a middle-aged multi-millionaire who created the most popular sitcom of the past 20 years, it’s hard to work up empathy and sentimentality. Realistic onflict is what’s important, and this new series has it in spades.
As such, Girls creator Lena Dunham should get a lot of credit for the work she’s put into her popular show. Unfortunately, neither she nor her program took home any Emmys this year, so she’ll have to move on to bigger and better things — like getting a fat paycheck for writing a book.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dunham has directed her literary agents to seek $1 million for the rights to publish a collection of essays. Called Not That Kind of Girl, it will presumably contain plenty of the hilarious and awkward brutal honesty that audiences seem to lap on on HBO. If you’ve ever wanted to know what life is like for a successful television actress and writer living it up in Brooklyn, this may be the next book you should pick up.

Hundreds of protesters in Hurghada blocked several main squares on Tuesday using iron barricades and burning tires.
The demonstrations were prompted by burial of young man Tuesday, who died in a fight over money between the owner of a property and the person renting the space.
The family of the victim held banners, demanding justice and retribution for his death.
Protesters barred vehicles from passing through al-Saqala, al-Arousa, Aka and al-Dahar Squares as well al-Sheraton al-Siyahy and al-Sayadin Streets. They also barred people from entering or exiting the city's marina.
Mohamed Attiyat Allah, the Wasat Party's secretary in Hurghada, said quick justice would resolve the issue after police failed to convince protesters abandon their sit-ins.

The price of Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC basket of 13 crudes stood at $38.46 a barrelon Wednesday, compared with $38.27 the previous day, according to OPEC Secretariat calculations.
The new OPEC Reference Basket of Crudes (ORB) is made up of the following: Saharan Blend (Algeria), Girassol (Angola), Oriente (Ecuador), Minas (Indonesia), Iran Heavy (Islamic Republic of Iran), Basra Light (Iraq), Kuwait Export (Kuwait), Es Sider (Libya), Bonny Light (Nigeria), Qatar Marine (Qatar), Arab Light (Saudi Arabia), Murban (UAE) and Merey (Venezuela).
Meanwhile, the twelfth meeting of the energy dialogue between the European Union (EU) and OPEC has ended in Vienna, Austria.
OPEC confirmed in a statement that Miguel Arias CaÃ±ete, Commissioner for Climate Action & Energy at the European Commission, headed the EU delegation.
It disclosed that Abdalla Salem El-Badri, Acting Secretary General of OPEC, led the OPEC delegation.
The cartel said both parties emphasised that the Energy Dialogue has come a long way since its establishment in 2005 and is more important than ever in the current context of energy markets.
The organisation supported by various roundtables, workshops and studies, the Energy Dialogue has resulted in productive joint activities on a wide range of oil and energy related issues and has brought significant benefits to both sides.
It maintained that the parties noted that since the last Energy Dialogue meeting in June 2014, there has been a growing challenge in energy markets, particularly for oil. Oil prices have fallen by more than 70per cent, many investments have been deferred or cancelled, manpower has been laid off, and the market has been searching for a supply-demand balance.
The organisation maintained that looking ahead, both the EU and OPEC noted with concern that the current price environment has considerably reduced investments.
It said that such a massive fall in investment could in time lead to a supply shortfall and the risk of a sharp oil price rebound, as has been witnessed in the past.
The cartel said that although producers and consumers might have different views on what is an adequate oil price level, there was broad agreement that excessive oil price volatility and/or sharp price rises would be harmful for the economies of both the producing and consuming countries.
It noted that an affordable and stable oil price, alongside a balanced and stable market, is a prerequisite for economic growth for both producers and consumers.
The organisation observed that both the EU and OPEC recognised that through the Energy Dialogue and through initiatives in other global fora and organisations, cooperation should be enhanced, as should understanding of the behaviour of energy and oil markets, something which is important to helping achieve future oil market stability.
It stated that both sides welcomed the adoption in December 2015 of the â€˜Paris Agreementâ€™ to combat climate change.
The organization said that it presented an assessment of short-term oil market prospects.
It emphasised that lower crude oil prices mainly reflect the ongoing excess crude oil supply over global demand.
The cartel said that the positive impacts of low oil prices on oil demand in major growth regions remain intact in both the OECD and non-OECD regions.
It observed that expected oil demand growth in 2016 is in line with the average seen over the last three years.
â€œOn the supply side, lower oil prices have reversed the strong growth trend in non-OPEC supply into an expected contraction in 2016. It was noted however, that over the previous three years, non-OPEC supply has increased significantly while on average there was no growth in OPEC crude supply. OPEC also provided an overview of the long-term oil market outlook.â€œIt highlighted that energy demand will increase by almost 50per cent in the period up to 2040, with oil remaining the fuel with the largest share over the next 20 years. Â Oil demand reaches almost 110 mb/d by 2040, with developing countries accounting for most of the growth. On the supply side, total non-OPEC supply is expected to increase in the next decade, but declines towards the end of the projection period.
â€œOPEC crude supply is anticipated to increase steadily which underscores once again the need for future investments in the industry. However, it was stressed that the outlook is clouded with uncertainties stemming, in particular, from economic growth and non-OPEC supply prospects.â€


Amazon Alexa Team Uses Machine Learning To Better Handle Regional Language Differences
Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant faces a massive challenge: Operating not only as a multi-lingual product, but also ensuring that all regional variants of languages it supports are well understood by Alexa, too.
To help accomplish that, Alexa has been retrained entirely for every variant needed — a time and resource-heavy activity. But a new machine learning-based method for training speech recognition created by Alexa’s AI team could mean a lot less rework in building out models for new variants of existing languages.
In a paper presented to the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, Amazon Alexa AI Senior Applied Science Manager Young-Bum Kim and his colleagues laid out a new system that was able to demonstrate improvements in accuracy of 18%, 43%, 115% and 57%, respectively, on four variants of English (from the U.S., the U.K., India and Canada) used in the trial.

Both local squads, St. John Paul II and Barnstable, will take part in playoff games this weekend.
St. John Paul II, with its 7-0 record, earned the second seed behind Wareham in the Division 8 South Sectional and will face seventh-seeded Coyle-Cassidy (4-3) of Taunton on Saturday at Monomoy Regional in Harwich.
Playing in the Division 2 South Sectional, eighth-seed Barnstable will face the top seed King Philip Regional (7-0) in Wrentham on Friday evening at 7 p.m. Despite a 2-5 overall record, the Red Raiders made the playoffs thanks to their strength of schedule and numbers accumulated in the state power rankings.
This is how the locals fared last week, as well as a look ahead to their playoff matchups:
#8 Barnstable (2-5) at #1 King Philip (7-0)
Next game: Division 2 South Sectional, Friday, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m. at King Philip Regional, Wrentham
Last weeks’ results: Dartmouth 28 - Barnstable 26; King Philip 35 – Taunton 7.
Coach’s comment: “We had a very good first half, we were executing on both sides of the ball, but then they made a few second half adjustments” said Chris Whidden. “We just left too many plays out on the field and had some costly penalties. We just made one too many mistakes for a game that was there for the taking for us. It was a tough loss, but what we were looking to do was make the playoffs, which we ultimately did.”
Game highlights: Quarterback Matt Petercuskie had his best day ever for the Red Raiders, throwing for 376 yards and two touchdowns. He also picked up a running touchdown. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to earn the victory.
Seniors Ryan Welsh and Sam Rosen had the touchdown receptions, while Welsh also had a rushing touchdown. Rosen caught 18 passes for 189 yards including an 80-yard scoring strike from Petercuskie.
The Red Raiders got out to a 20-7 lead at halftime, only to see Dartmouth go on to score 28 unanswered points. Welsh’s second touchdown run in the fourth quarter closed the game to within two, but they were unsuccessful on the conversion try.
Last meeting: Barnstable has never faced King Philip in the past, nor do the two teams have any common opponents this season.
This Week’s Opponent: “King Philip hasn’t lost a game since 2015, they have the longest winning streak in the state, and they’re the defending (Division 2) champs,” said Whidden. “They’ve definitely got a winning culture built there. They’re very aggressive defensively and multiple on offense, so they definitely pose their share of challenges. But we’re improving and hopefully that will continue for the next couple of weeks.”
#2 St. John Paul II (7-0) vs. #7 Coyle-Cassidy (4-3)
Next game: Division 8 South Sectional, Saturday, Oct. 28, at 6 p.m. at Monomoy Regional, Harwich
Last weeks’ results: St. John Paul II 34 – Hull 14; Coyle-Cassidy 28 – Martha’s Vineyard 14.
Coach’s comment: “In the second quarter we really executed a lot and had four touchdowns. At half we started mixing in the younger guys and, by the fourth quarter, everyone had been in,” said coach Matt Marshall.
Game highlights: Senior quarterback Devan Harrison continued his mastery this season with three more touchdown passes -- giving him 24 on the season -- while he also ran for a fourth touchdown. Three different players -- Mike Satkevich, Tyler Noe, and Josh Valenzano -- received touchdown passes from Harrison.
Senior Rich Mulcahy had a three-yard touchdown run, while Harrison also had a three-yard scoring run. Senior captain Connor Jones added a conversion catch as the Lions built a 34-0 lead at halftime.
Satkevich had a big interception to key the defense, while seniors Joe Dorman and Nick Curran, along with junior Kevin Flynn, played well on both sides of the ball.
Last meeting: The two teams have never met before, but have a common opponent from this season. Coyle beat Matignon/St. Joseph’s on Sept. 22 by a score of 30-6. On October 7, the Lions topped Matignon/St. Joseph’s 38-0, resting most of their starters in the second half.
This Week’s Opponent: “Coyle-Cassidy has a big fullback (Jacob Cabral) that we’ve got to stop. They’re here for a reason and no one just gets here, you earn it,” said Marshall. “I reminded them that they were the number-seven-seeded team last season, so anything can happen.”

39-storey student residential tower to be built in London bridge
Rents for the proposed accommodation will range from '14,000 to '22,000 a year, prices described as "insane" by planning committee member Cllr'Hamish McCallum, whilst Cllr Cleo Soanes said she was "shocked and appalled".
A previous proposal for the site ' a 31-storey tower dubbed 'The Quill' ' was'put forward in 2009'and'won planning consent in 2011.
Greystar acquired the site at the corner of'St Thomas Street'and'Weston Street'in 2017'for an undisclosed sum.
A small office building called'Capital House'currently occupies the site.
This latest scheme is the first in a number of major planning applications for the'St Thomas Street'area likely to come before councillors in the coming months.
Presenting the application at Tuesday night's committee meeting, planning officer Terence McLellan explained that Greystar planned to make its affordable housing contribution in the form of an in-lieu payment of '34.1 million.
The authority will put the cash towards its programme to build 11,000 new council homes across the borough.
Michael Tsoukaris, the council's head of design and conservation, described the plans drawn up by KPF as "an exceptional piece of architectural design" that would be "slender and subservient to the Shard".
Crucifix Lane'resident Mark Bacon addressed the committee to object to the planning application.
"This monstrous building is far, far too big, too tall, too massive, for this'St Thomas Street'site," he said.
"To put it in a nutshell, it is developers' greed gone absolutely mad."
Landscape architect and Southwark resident Jessica Beattie warned that the developer's proposals for the public realm were unrealistic in terms of wind mitigation and planting, and lacking in detail.
"The City of London would never accept this quality of information," she said.
Toby O'Connor of the Old Bermondsey Neighbourhood Forum took issue with an error in the planning officer's written report about the amount of community infrastructure levy (CIL) payable by the developer which had been misstated by around '23 million in the original version.
Mr O'Connor also pointed out that the council's proposed social regeneration charter for'St Thomas Street'is yet to be published and approved, but yet decisions on planning applications are already being made.
David Rothwell from Greystar explained to the committee how the developer had responded to feedback whilst drawing up the scheme, reducing the height of the tower and increasing its affordable housing offer.
"This application is the first of four sites on'St Thomas Street'and in my view is premature," said London Bridge & West Bermondsey councillor'Damian O'Brien, warning that the tower would be "a blight on the townscape of'St Thomas Street" and that it "sets a very unwelcome precedent for the other three applications which will follow".
Committee member Cllr James McAsh said that he recognised the valid concerns raised by objectors but agreed with planning officers that the benefits of the scheme outweighed those issues.
Cllr Jason Ochere said that he was mindful of the thousands of people on Southwark's housing waiting list and was therefore supportive of the scheme.
Cllr'Hamish McCallum'warned that he was minded to vote against the scheme because it failed to comply with the London Plan, noting "serious concerns about the suitability of student accommodation on this site".
Cllr'Adele Morris'said she hadn't heard any justification for the "upscaling" of the height building from previous schemes and its resultant impact on the immediate community.
"We cannot just say that anything goes," she said.
Cllr Renata Hamvas welcomed the "innovative" and "attractive design".
Cllr Cleo Soanes said the objectors had made a "compelling" case and told the meeting that, as a teacher" she was "shocked and appalled" by the quoted rents for the student accommodation.
Committee chair Martin Seaton said "it's an innovative, interesting building".
He added: "I'm pleased that our planning gain has resulted in '34.1 million that will go into our development pot and will allow us to build homes in a much greater number than might be possible here."
The scheme was approved by five votes to two with one abstention.

Measure M puts LA at the forefront of public transit funding On Nov. 8 voters will see Measure M on the ballot, an initiative that aims to raise $120 billion over the next 40 years to help fund mass transit expansions. Voters in more than two dozen other metro areas -- like San Francisco, Seattle and Atlanta -- are considering similar transit funding measures.
A possible sales tax hike and the future of LA transit Los Angeles County Supervisors unanimously voted to place a half-cent sales tax on the November ballot . The tax is aimed at making it easier to get around southern California, by generating at least $860 million per year for the county’s light rail network and other transit projects. The tax would continue to fund Metro projects indefinitely. And it needs a two-thirds vote to pass – a hurdle that concerns mass transit proponents, particularly because the ballot will be crowded with other tax initiatives for voters to decide on. Will voters be willing to approve a tax hike without an expiration date? And if so, how much will the proposed transit projects actually alleviate traffic in Los Angeles?
Now that the Expo Line Extension is Open, What’s Next in LA Transit? Nine years and $1.5 billion later, the Expo Line extension from Culver City to Santa Monica finally opened to the public Friday. For the first time in over 60 years, Angelenos will be able to take the rail line from downtown LA to the beach, and hope springs anew for thousands of commuters subject to decades of gridlock on the 10 freeway. But now that this huge light rail project is complete, what’s next in the grand plan for LA? Will transit really get more of us out of our cars more of the time? Laura Nelson writes about transportation and mobility at the Los Angeles Times and she joins us from downtown Santa Monica at the Expo line unveiling.
Ride-Sharing Pick-ups Begin at LAX in Time for the Holidays On one of the busiest days, the West Coast's busiest airport is opening up to the ride-sharing service. Starting today, LA International Airport will allow Lyft to pick up passengers, as we hear from Laura Nelson, transportation reporter for the Los Angeles Times , has more on the story.
CalTrans Selling Pasadena Homes If you’re looking for a house in the Pasadena area, you can call a real estate agent or you can try CalTrans. Beginning in the 1950’s, the state’s transportation agency started buying homes in Pasadena, South Pasadena and El Sereno to make way for a 6-mile extension to the 710 Freeway. But, there has been fierce opposition. And after decades of legal and political wrangling, it looks like the extension will happen underground, if it happens at all. So now CalTrans is getting ready to sell all those houses, and the people who rent them are worried that they’ll be priced out.
Ridesharing Gets the Go Ahead at LAX Licensed cab drivers have long regarded LA Airport as their last remaining stronghold in the battle with Uber, Lyft and other ride sharing companies. Not anymore. LA officials have made LAX the largest airport in the nation to fully welcome the mobile app-based services. Laura Nelson reports on transportation for the LA Times .
The Pick-Up Problem at LAX For Uber, Lyft and other ride-sharing companies, LAX is a gaping hole in the regional transportation system. They can drop off passengers, like anyone else, but pick-ups are the exclusive province of taxi-cabs with licenses, special insurance and finger-print background checks for drivers. Mayor Garcetti says it's time for a change.
Is LA's Car Culture Dying? Gas prices have been on a roller coaster ride in Southern California the past few weeks. From rock-bottom lows at the start of the year because of an abundant global supply, to a quick rise of a dollar or more per gallon because of a new summer gasoline blend and a refinery explosion in Torrance.
Is LA Making Traffic Inroads? Is LA traffic getting better, or are Angelenos still languishing in congested ridiculousness, with no end in sight? KCRW's Steve Chiotakis spoke with LA Times transportation reporter Laura J. Nelson, and Zocalo Public Square columnist Joe Mathews.
Metro Considers a "People Mover" from Crenshaw to LAX Today, Metro decided to consider the cost and usefulness of a “people mover” running to LAX from a new station on the Crenshaw line. It’s not the first time the plan has been discussed, but it seems to be picking up some momentum.
What happens when America retreats from the world? Is President Trump taking his "America First" agenda to extremes, withdrawing the country from the international stage on trade and climate change, distancing America from its traditional allies across the Atlantic and even threatening to physically isolate the country through the building of a wall along its southern border? León Krauze guest hosts.
Venezuela spirals into economic and political chaos Venezuela, a country whose potential for prosperity is unmatched, finds itself on the verge of civil war. What sustains the repressive government? With time running out, guest host León Krauze looks at what the international community can do to pull the country from the edge of collapse.
Terrorism and tweets, hate speech and murder Just days before an election, Britain is coping with a rash of deadly terrorism, and Prime Minister Theresa May is on the defensive. And again today, President Trump has tweeted criticism of the Mayor of London. Later, a double murder in Portland, Oregon has revealed the ugly past of a supposedly “progressive” city. One immediate question: is “hate speech” protected by the First Amendment?
Ex-FBI Director Comey tells his side of the story Today, former FBI Director James Comey came close to calling the President who fired him a liar. The White House denied the claim and called it insulting, but Republican Senators did not challenge Comey’s truthfulness. Many questions remain: did the President try to obstruct a federal investigation? Later, we’ll go behind the “velvet rope” for a look at 5-Star health care for the richest Americans.

Take care of your car, and it’ll take care of you. Schedule an appointment for Kia Rio repairs and we’ll give you the support you need to keep your car on the road.
We know it’s not just any Kia Rio. It’s your Kia Rio, and we’re here to give you (and your car) the top-notch service experience you deserve. A high level of care is what sets the best auto repair shops apart from all the others. You can trust your 2007 Kia Rio to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We’re experts in top-to-bottom repair services including brake, tire, alignment, drivetrain, and engine repair. Read on to learn about each service.
Brake repair is one of the most important repairs you can invest in for one very simple reason: you rely on your brakes to safely bring your vehicle to a stop. Kia Rio brake problems could lead to unsafe driving conditions – or worse, an accident. If you notice shaking when you depress your brake pedal, noise from your brakes, increased stop distance, or a brake light that’s lit up on your dashboard, don’t wait to have your brakes inspected and repaired. No matter how reliable your Kia Rio is, it'll need brake repair at one point or another. Brake pads and parts naturally wear out over time. Climate and driving style can also accelerate the repair timeline.
Tire repair is another service you don't want to put off. Tire damage can inhibit your ability to maintain control of your vehicle and stay safe while driving. If you have a flat tire on your 2007 Kia Rio, we can change it for you. In some cases, our technicians may be able to perform a simple patch and plug repair on your Kia Rio tire. More often than not, punctures in the tread area that are less than ¼ inch in diameter can be successfully repaired. If your tire can't be safely repaired, a technician can answer any questions you have when choosing a tire replacement that suits your vehicle and your budget. To ensure that tire damage doesn’t take a toll on other components of your vehicle, we may recommend an alignment or tire balancing service at the time of your tire repair.
Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care is a one-stop shop for 2007 Kia Rio drivetrain, engine, and transmission repair services, too. Each of these systems is made up of hundreds of interconnected parts, each rubbing against another to create heat and energy. These parts are moving anytime your car is running, so over time, they can take on significant wear and tear. If this happens, you may hear engine knocking noises, feel a delay in transmission shifting, or even smell a burning odor from under your Rio’s hood. When something feels off with your vehicle, head to Firestone Complete Auto Care. In these cases, the repair could range from something minor, like a new spark plug, to a more significant repair, like a fuel pump fix.
Several factors can affect the cost to repair your 2007 Kia Rio, including what kind of repair you need, prices of appropriate replacement parts, the labor involved, and where you live. Tax rates and labor costs in one state may be completely different from another state. But no matter your location, you may be able to save money with one of our many auto repair coupons or offers.
We know you want reliable, affordable Kia Rio repair services. We understand, too, that you don’t want just anyone doing repair work on your Kia. We live by the belief that a tool is only as good as the hands behind it. When you bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, your car is in the capable hands of a trained technician. We’re well-versed in repairing common 2007 Kia Rio issues, and all of our work is backed up by our unique Triple Promise: Fixed Right, Priced Right, Right on Time.
You want to take care of your car, but Kia Rio repair costs can add up if you’re not careful. Help prevent major repairs by getting answers to frequently asked auto repair questions.

Terrain parks exist at almost every area in North America, because so many of us are looking for the challenge and excitement they offer. The Mid Atlantic region is a perfect example.
"Parks have revitalized younger people getting into the sport," said Joe Stevens, communications director for the West Virginia Ski Areas Association.
"They like doing things on the edge and terrain parks give them that," Stevens said.
"The majority of terrain parks are lit so that, for resorts close to metropolitan areas, parks are available at night for younger crowd, especially areas near colleges or active high schools that have ski and snowboard programs.
"All the resorts in West Virginia have understood for the last few years the need for terrain parks to add variety to skiing and snowboarding," he said.
Snowshoe has four parks, including Mountaineer at its Silver Creek area with a dedicated lift, and Spruce Glades, Powder Monkey and Timberjack, all full of rails and features.
Whitegrass, primarily a crosscountry area, has an unusual approach to terrain parks, creating a backcountry terrain park experience from natural features such as ledges, boulders, logs, and trees for adventure skiing and riding.
Stevens said all areas in West Virginia offer terrain parks because they are what skiers and riders are looking for now, but his observation applies equally to all resorts.
Wisp in Maryland, for example, has one of the best terrain parks around. Credit snowmaking, location and commitment to making the most of terrain. Wisp offers boxes and rails ranging from five feet for beginners to 40 feet for the more daring, and terrain gardens or mini-parks, and the Whip Saw Terrain Trail.
Appalachian Ski Mountain in North Carolina has one of the most popular parks in the region, designed to give skiers and riders of all abilities a progressive series of challenges. Appalachian is creating a second terrain park on a new slope this year with new boxes, rails, and unique features.
Mountain Creek in New Jersey is fine tuning its new configuration, where South Peak was dedicated entirely to freestyle terrain last year to separate freestylers from more laid back skiers and riders.
"We went from about 15 percent of terrain dedicated to terrain parks to 45 percent," said Mountain Creek's Frank Deberry. "This year is about building on that. We've built a progression across the mountain up through the levels, from absolute first-timers to never better. We set out to create the absolutely leading terrain park in the East, and we'll put our accomplishments up against anyone."
Seven Springs in Pennsylvania added additional area to the terrain park this year with a huge expansion. The area reports it dusted off the bulldozers and regraded the area between Sunset and Lost Boy for an additional terrain park more than half a mile long. The area will be served by the North Pole or North Face chairlift. The resort also purchased a new snowcat with a winch to work on its Superpipe.

Thank you for helping us by reporting bad content.
Having a whole weekend to myself means a whole 2 days for me to run and BAKE! This weekend, I have no homework (well I have to study.. but that`s not homework haha) which equals more time to bake for me and other people.
Today I decided to make some banana bread! I love bread so much, especially banana bread so I decided to go and make some instead of going to the store and buying it for myself! The recipe I used was super simple and I will give you the link for it under this post in the source link =) (I did make some changes to the recipe because.... well just because I wanted too. And guess what one of those changes were? ... I added some chocolate chips and walnuts to the bread!)
All you need to make the bread is-
3 or 4 bananas, smashed (they taste 100% better if the bananas are extra ripe)
1/3 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
tiny bit of salt
1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
These are optional-
half bag of chocolate chips
1/2 cup of crushed walnuts (yummm)
First pre-heat your oven to 350 defrees. Then mix the butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Add in the sugar, egg, some vanilla, and chocolate chips (YUMMY). Add the baking soda and salt over the mixture and make sure to mix it in. Finally add the flour in and mix and put the walnuts on top (make sure not to mix it) Pour the mixture into a buttered or sprayed pan and bake for approximately 1 hour. Cool on a rack and then you can eat it!
Do you like banana bread?
Have you ever made it before?
