McCubbin: Last Impressions 1907–17 has opened to an appreciative public. Read what some visitors had to say:
"I love seeing these paintings for the first time — there is so much life and energy — quite different from earlier works (love the wall colours as well!)"
"Wonderful presentation of the later works of this most famous of Australian impressionists. A truly great exhibition."
"Fred's light is magical. I want to walk into his garden and I want to kiss his cheek on his self-portraits."

UC Davis Library Timeline
1958: C.K. Ogden Library was purchased: Davis' share included a second folio of Shakespeare's works.
Blanchard's account of the second folio
Reminiscences, 1912-1989, pp180
In 1958, the University, through the efforts of Lawrence Clark Powell, the brilliant librarian at UCLA, acquired the huge and important collection of C.K. Ogden, the well-known and eccentric author of the Meaning of Meaning, a bibliomaniac, who owned three houses in England so that storage room would be available for his books. Ogden having died, the rather intricate negotiations for his collection were carried on with his mistress. Eventually, 10,000 of the Ogden volumes including important titles in literature, history, sociology, and other fields came to Davis. We also received a very fine copy of the second folio of Shakespeare, published in 1632, and incorporating a text that scholars found superior "in every case to the 16 pre-existing quarto editions." The copy was once the property of Henry Bradshawe, brother of John Bradshawe, president of the court that condemned King Charles I. As it was not needed at Berkeley and Los Angeles, it could go to Davis, Riverside or Santa Barbara. Not wishing to decide the placing of the volume by such a bourgeois action as the flipping of a coin, it was decided to base the placement on the outcome of the World Series. Davis was fortunate in drawing the New York Yankees, who knocked in the winning run in the 1958 baseball series, which also meant the second folio was pitched out to the Davis campus.

very nice looking but flawed
"I purchased these and fell in love with them the minute I put them on, but the 3rd time I put them on the buckle came apart on both shoes. While trying to fix them one buckle came apart completely in my hands. The buckles are very cheap and take away from the shoe. With better buckle this shoe would be great. They also run just a bit small."

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The newly formed Emery County Business Chamber held its opening kick-off luncheon on Nov. 16. The event was well attended. The chairman for the business chamber is Jerry Stotler, retired businessman. He welcomed everyone to the event. The luncheon was catered by Gilly's. Taina Benson the owner of Gilly's is one of the new board members for the business chamber. The board has been meeting monthly to plan the opening event and begin the articles of incorporation and bylaws process. The ECBC invites all businesses in Emery County to join. They plan to keep the fees low to encourage participation from all the businesses both home and store front in the county. Speakers will be invited to the Lunch and Learn meetings to help business owners with their businesses and to present useful information to help business owners run a more successful and profitable business. By banding together and working together the ECBC believes all businesses in the county can prosper and grow.
At this kick-off event Mayor Joe Piccolo from Price spoke to the audience as well as Sen. David Hinkins and Nielson Construction owner Wayne Nielson. At each ECBC meeting there will be a spotlight on local business, one of the oldest businesses in the county is the Emery County Progress newspaper in its 111th year. Publisher Rick Shaw spoke saying the papers are owned by a family in San Diego, but they allow each paper to have its own personality and to focus on local news. The Sun Advocate and the Progress have been partners for the past 40 years. Many of the employees at the Sun Advocate live in Emery County and the three employees at the Progress all live in Emery County. Between the two papers they reach 51,000 readers in a week's time. Shaw said the local newspapers are proud to do business in Carbon and Emery counties and they want to do what they can to help the new business chamber to be a success.
Mayor Piccolo said when he became mayor, Price City had 21 empty businesses along their Main Street and their chamber wasn't as strong as it is today. He set about to revitalize Main Street with programs like Downtown Alive which the chamber has promoted. He sent out 179 letters to business owners to get their ideas and he received no response. Through hard work there are now less than three empty businesses along Main Street.
Price is especially proud of the JC Penney's store which is the second oldest store in the Penney's chain. "We value those kinds of businesses and we have made a big deal out of them. Whenever a new business opens or expands we have a ribbon cutting ceremony for them. We care enough to put our money where our mouth is. The BEAR program helps small businesses. It is in the process of becoming a statewide program because of the success it's had in Carbon and Emery counties. It's said that misery is not complete until it's shared. But, I say let's share our successes, in these tough economic times, people are suffering, but America is still one of the greatest gifts to the world. We are not ruled by kings, we have had our share of adversity, our country was split down the middle in the Civil War. We've had hard times, World War I and World War II; how would you have liked to be there then. Times are tough, but it's not bleak. This is the land of opportunity. Our country faces hard times, but we will come out stronger and more committed," said the mayor. Mayor Piccolo pledged his support to the new business organization for Emery County. He encouraged business owners in Emery County to be a part of the effort.
Sen. David Hinkins introduced himself saying he was from Orangeville. He said the lay-off at Consol is a concern in the community; he said a young man approached him and said he has a young family and will be impacted by the lay-off. Sen. Hinkins said sometimes an adversity can also be a time of opportunity. He knows what it's like to have a young family and be laid off from work. He worked at Harmond Electric in Price and then at the Horse Canyon Mine. The mine told the employees they were going to close. Hinkins moved back to Orangeville and bought a service station. He borrowed money from several places who didn't know he was borrowing from the others and he started his own business, Industrial Electric, 35 years ago. "It's been great and rewarding, but it's very hard to make a business go. Emery County is not the easiest place to do business. Some people today are so reliant on the government and entitlements that they can't make it on their own," said Hinkins.
Hinkins said pollutants are down in the coal industry and he wouldn't trade the air here in Emery County for that along the Wasatch Front. Other states are competing too for the nuclear power plant being considered by Green River. "We don't want to lose it," said the Senator. The nuclear plant would bring in billions and employ several hundred people and would be a big boost to Emery County.
On immigration reform, the senator said he went to Phoenix and saw a holding tank where the people who had been caught sneaking into the US were being sent back to Mexico. They were sending back about 150 a day. He asked if this was average and he was told they used to send back 1,000 or more a day but because the economy is down here in America they are not coming as much; only the drug runners are still coming.
The Senator said he represents the Navajo nation as well in his district and there are people on the reservations still waiting for power and water. "There are people who live much differently than we do and they aren't that far away," said Sen. Hinkins. There is a $33 million trust fund to help the Navajos.
Sen. Hinkins spoke highly of those he serves with in the Utah Senate he said they are the nicest people he has ever been around and he trusts them. Sen. Hinkins commended the people on getting an Emery County chamber going. "Let's keep our money here in our own valleys," said the Senator. The Senator said with the redistricting he might add Kane County to his list of counties to represent. "We need to stick together and support each other and our businesses. Those who have stuck it out here through thick and thin," said Sen. Hinkins.
Wayne Nielson said Nielson Construction was a dream come true for his father and his uncle. The two started the business in the 1950s, they started with nothing; they spotted a dozer in an army surplus store and they purchased it and the legacy began. Things were tough. They worked for the farmers in the area.
In the 1960s, Uncle Clair was killed in an accident and John was devastated. The business known as Nielson Brothers became Nielson Construction. During the 1970s the farming side of the company kept things going. Then things picked up. John was always fascinated by heavy equipment. Owning heavy equipment was a dream come true for him.
Nielson said there has been sacrifice, sweat and hard work that has gone into the growth of the company. The employees and managers at the company are the greatest asset the company has. Due to health problems, Wayne bought out his brother Ralph and Wayne is the president of the company and his son John is the vice president and their wives are their psychiatrists.
"No one realizes what a wife goes through. A construction company is not the easiest business to be involved with. There are some real challenges. Our wives are our strength, they keep us going. Our people are the best. We have the best employees. We work within a 100 mile radius, to the Basin Area and Roosevelt, parts of Colorado and we have been assisting with the tailings cleanup in Moab and have built the facility at Crescent Junction to store the tailings. That's a huge project and we will be there for eight more years. Diversity is our strength. If one thing is slow then the others are booming. We have been recognized and won awards for our mass excavation projects. We have worked on earthen dams. We are installing the pipeline for the Huntington/Cleveland irrigation project. That is a huge project and benefit to our area. We've worked in the oil and gas fields and hope a lot of good things are coming in the Nine mile area," said Nielson.
Nielson Construction was recognized as the Utah Department of Transportation's contractor of the year and they won the Earth Day award from DOGM for the reclamation work on Willow Creek mine at Castle Gate. The Utah Business ranked Nielson Construction in the top five heavy contractors in the state.
"We love Carbon and Emery counties. We have asphalt plants in both counties. My son pestered me until we started a concrete plant. I am thankful for John's leadership. We will continue to be positive and survive tough times and move forward. We want to continue to build Emery County," said Nielson.
Mike McCandless, economic development director for Emery County thanked everyone for coming to the kick-off luncheon. He said more information on memberships will become available as the organization moves along.
The next Lunch and Learn will be held on January 18.
Future speakers will include people from the governor's office of economic development and those involved in the film industry to speak on the opportunities that await Emery County in that field.

I love the results!
First, I'll share my idea and my process:
Lately, I've been dying over rooms that have this paint color in them:
I also love how a simple painted back can bring a bookcase to life:
So, I decided to bring both concepts into my living room, by painting the back of my bookcase in a gorgeous deep teal.
Love it.
However, I had to make my husband love it as well. This is a man who won't paint anything a non-neutral because he's SO certain we'll be moving at any moment and he doesn't want to repaint. I say whatevs to that, but I would also like to keep a bit of harmony in my home, so I came up with a better idea.
I decided to paint removable foam board and place it in the back of the bookcase, giving the look of a painted bookshelf, but without the commitment.
Here is my process (if I can call it that, it doesn't involve much!)
The supplies:
I didn't get a great pic of the foam board I used, but it can be found at any craft store (or online here) and is called just that- foam board (or foam core-either one!) I purchased two large white boards and then measured and cut them to the right size with an x-acto knife.
I couldn't find the exact paint color I wanted at Hobby Lobby, so I mixed two colors together that I figured would make the color I wanted. I used Americana acrylic craft paints in black forest green and deep midnight blue. I wish I could say that I have an exact formula for how I mixed the two, but I pretty much just mixed until I got the color I wanted! I would say the ratio was close to 2/3 blue and 1/3 green.
And here is the bookcase with the painted pieces in place:
I love the color!
Now here it is all styled and pretty:
I love the results and even my husband is happy with it.
The best part is that I can change it up at any time with paint or even fabric. What a cheap and easy project! Hope you like it!
Have a great weekend!

Antigua to Launch Pirate Site to "Punish" U.S. With World Trade Org. Blessing

Site is allowed to make up to $21M USD a year to compensate for "illegal" U.S. ban on internet gambling
This month the twin-island nation of Antigua and Barbuda aims to finally force a World Trade Organization discussion of its plans to launch a "pirate" site, which would profit off of selling cheap bootlegs of copyrighted works owned by copyright holders in the United States.
The unprecedented plan comes courtesy of a bizarre trade conflict between the U.S. and the small Caribbean island nation. The battle began when the U.S. in 2003 blocked various Antiguan internet gambling portals, such as the World Sports Exchange. After negotiations collapsed, Antigua took its case to the
World Trade Organization
, an international arbitrary body that deals with trade disputes.
The WTO
in 2005 that the U.S. decision to
block Antiguan internet gambling IP addresses
violated free-trade since some similar domestic (U.S.) gambling sites were
allowed to remain in operation
. The U.S. refused to comply with the ruling. The refusal brought big changes to the island's economy; 5 percent of the citizens once worked in the high-tech internet gambling industry -- now they were left looking for jobs.
In 2007, a frustrated WTO
ruled that Antigua was allowed to suspend U.S. copyrights
to the tune of up to $21M USD annually until the U.S. complied with the ruling. Antigua declared plans to leverage the ruling by launching a portal that sells bootlegs of U.S. copyrighted works at discounted rates, for profit.

The WTO would have to sign off on the plan, but that debate never happened because the U.S. successfully shelved the discussion at the last WTO meeting, calling it "untimely".
an interview
Torrent Freak
, Antiguan government attorney Mark Mendel emphasized that his nation's plans were not "piracy" as the WTO approved of the copyright violations. He remarks, "There is no body in the world that can stop us from doing this, as we already have approval from the international governing body WTO."
The U.S. is upset about the plan. It has written a
terse letter
to the WTO declaring:
If Antigua actually proceeds with a plan for its government to authorize the theft of intellectual property, it would only serve to hurt Antigua's own interests.
Government-authorized piracy would undermine chances for a settlement that would provide real benefits to Antigua. It also would serve as a major impediment to foreign investment in the Antiguan economy, particularly in high-tech industries.
But Antigua isn't listening to the threat and is poised to move forward with the plan at this month's meeting. Exact details of the portal have not been publicized, but
Torrent Freak
writes that one idea is to grant citizens unlimited access to U.S. copyrighted works for $5 USD/month. Antigua and Barbuda has a population of about 80,000 people, most of whom live on the island of Antigua.

MADD, Thompson Look To "Frag" GTA IV
Jason Mick
May 1, 2008 11:54 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The latest campaigns against the Grand Theft Auto come as little surprise to anyone, but still serve up interesting societal questions
Perhaps the
biggest video game release of the year
, Rockstar's
Grand Theft Auto IV
is an iconic example of the power of the video game industry.
EA Games is desperate to acquire Take Two
, almost entirely out of a desire to get its hands on the lucrative franchise. Sony is hoping the system will help
re-energize Playstation 3 sales
. And
movie executives are fearful that the game will ruin their summer blockbusters
by stealing away their viewers' time.
The power of GTA IV, though, as always is not merely in sales, but in shock. On top of its extreme violence, usage of profanity, drugs and alcohol the new game pushes the envelope featuring masturbation, fellatio and intercourse -- though stopping short of full nudity sex scenes. In an era, seen by some as prudish, in which parents are
more appalled by sex, a biological function, than severed heads
it seemed inevitable that the game would draw some high profile criticism. Now the critics have come out, both with some familiar and unfamiliar faces.
First up is a new foe -- Mothers Against Drunk Driving. The
group is incensed at the game for providing depictions of driving intoxicated
. It is lobbying the Entertainment Software Ratings Board to change the game's rating from "Mature" to "Adults Only." Such a change seems unlikely, but if it happened, it would mean that the game would be unable to be carried at many major retail stores.
MADD released a statement saying, "Drunk driving is not a game, and it is not a joke. Drunk driving is a choice, a violent crime and it is also 100 percent preventable."
The organization is also trying to convince publisher Take-Two Interactive and developer Rockstar Games to stop distribution of the popular game "out of respect for the millions of victims/survivors of drunk driving."
players can "drink" at bars and then afterwards have the option of hailing a taxi, walking off their intoxication, or throwing caution to the wind and driving drunk. When driving drunk the view blurs and its harder to steer. Players recover from intoxication after several minutes in-game.
Rockstar shot down MADD's requests in a public statement in which it said, "We have a great deal of respect for MADD's mission, but we believe the mature audience for '
Grand Theft Auto IV
' is more than sophisticated enough to understand the game's content. For the same reason that you can't judge an entire film or television program by a single scene, you can't judge '
Grand Theft Auto IV
' by a small aspect of the game."
Meanwhile a familiar foe of the video game industry is rearing his ugly head. Jack Thompson,
scolded by the Florida Supreme Court for his record of junk lawsuits against video games
is back at it. He's calling on a Florida U.S. attorney to
sue Take Two and retailers for offering the game
He raves in his letter, "Indictments should be returned against Take Two corporately and its Chairman, Strauss Zelnick, along with other Take Two officers.
Indictment should also be against Sony and Microsoft which are making this pornographic game available to minors, and openly so, on their PS3 and Xbox systems. Further, indictments should be handed down against Wal-Mart, Best Buy, GameStop, and all other retailers distributing this game to minors at their retail stores, openly, to kids who are only seventeen."
Then in a comical moment he compares the game to the polio virus. He continues, "
Grand Theft Auto IV
is the gravest assault upon children in this country since polio.
We now have vaccines for that virus ... The 'vaccine' that must be administered by the United States government to deal with this virtual virus of violence and sexual depravity is criminal prosecutions of those who have conspired to do this.
If you doubt me, look at the aforementioned streaming audio/video.
It will make you sick."
As "evidence" Thompson offers up a link to a graphic video from
entitled "Ladies of Liberty City," which is viewable online, and definitely not a good idea for those of you reading at work. While the only likely ramification of Thompson's tirade is the furthering of his public reputation of somewhat of a joke, it does continue to illustrate the controversy over whether video games merit the same depictive rights as other forms of graphical media.
However, controversy certainly isn't stopping customers.
is expected to set both sales and profit records, as analysts predict it to sell around 9 million copies, and make $400M USD at launch.
"Paying an extra $500 for a computer in this environment -- same piece of hardware -- paying $500 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be." -- Steve Ballmer

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Dear Editor:
I was reading the letters to the editor last week and there was only one letter published from an Emery County resident. I would like to know if the people who write these editorials are subscribers to the Emery County Progress or are the letters taken from other publications. These letters are thought provoking and may reflect the views of the citizens of Emery county. I think the Emery County Progress should be a means for the citizens of Emery County and the subscribers to your publication to have an opinion on the things that effect their lives and reflect their views.

It's possible that he used an ice barrier spell, or gathered his ice elemental reiatsu on the tip of his blade and swung it forward, like that attack that everyone can use, but with an added element to it. After all, what he was brushing up recently was Swordsmanship/Kenjutsu/Kendo, so almost certainly we will witness some Sword Techniques, instead of Zanpakutou Techniques, plus some Demon Magic/Kidou too.
I wonder if Rangiku has mastered a Bankai... now that I think about it, beside the two women in the Royal Guard, the only women in bleach that obtained Bankai was Unohana... is it sexism ;P ? Nah I'm joking since Rukia most likely will come with a Bankai of her own.
I'm wondering if perhaps that bath isn't one of Kirinji's or Urahara's, or some other kind of special thing:
seems pretty important since it's one of the few things that didn't disappear.
Don't worry guys, back up is already on the move and with a Bankai-stealing Blocker , a few Resurrections, a Bankai, a Full Fullbring, some Hollow Masks and that other things, kukuku.
Don't worry again, since another one is probably coming from above .
Yep this might be pretty sweet. I guess the SR will need to start loosing at some point so that Uryu could have shown his power to everyone rightfully.

In my opinion "That Jutsu" refers to Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique (Hiraishin no Jutsu) shown in the Kakashi Gaiden Arc and when Minato fought Tobi/Madara.
The Mizukage was brought to the battlefield by Genma, Raidou and another un-named ninja using this technique.However unlike Minato all the three had to work together to use FTG so they are unable to use it in the same way as Minato.
I believe that Naruto will not only use FTG he will with the help of Kurama upgrade the technique, (just as he did with Rasengan - Fuuton Rasenshuriken) where he will no longer be limited to using special kunai as teleport points but be able to use it without the need to fling kunai everywhere, thus matching whatever space-time technique that Tobi is using.

- Brief Synopsis:
- Responsible Marvin gets $25 to care for his teacher's dog in her house. His easy job turns scary. His pals say he's stuck up and his teacher may hate him when she returns. Chapter book RL 2.
- Long Synopsis:
- The good thing Marvin has going will take him by surprise and help him to grow up. His teacher has picked him as her most responsible student, the boy she can trust to feed and pay attention to her dog, Waldo, and walk him 3 times a day while she's out of town for a week. He'll earn $25. Waldo is lovable, Marvin is proud of his first job, its cool looking around at his teacher's things, his older brother admires him, His parents support him, and little sister Lindsey loves playing with Waldo. This job should be easy but Marvin has problems. Waldo doesn't want to eat; his special care makes Marvin late to school. The sub labels Marvin a trouble maker and picks on him. And Marvin's friends think he's stuck up because he won't let them play in his teacher's house. After he's done his very best, his teacher won't be happy when she gets home. She might even hate Marvin. He cries and can't sleep. No one can help him. He must face his teacher and tell her everything. This is a quick reading chapter book. Marvin finds that being mature means making decisions by himself; should he let his friends inside their teacher's house to see what she has in there? Should he let them play with Waldo? Should he call his parents or the vet for help? Should he eat dog food? Listen to your child read these short chapters written on second grade level but of interest to kids up to 6th grade. Enjoy the humor together and help your child understand Marvin's frustration when he learns that being trustworthy sometimes means making his friends mad and that there is joy, worry and sorrow in caring for an old, lovable, pet. 3 other delightful Marvin Redpost books are in the collection.

Canned tuna, Americans' favorite fish, is the most common source of mercury in our diet. New tests of 42 samples from cans and pouches of tuna bought primarily in the New York metropolitan area and online confirm that white (albacore) tuna usually contains far more mercury than light tuna.
Children and women of childbearing age can easily consume more mercury than the Environmental Protection Agency considers advisable simply by eating one serving of canned white tuna or two servings of light tuna per week. A serving is about 2.5 ounces. Expect a 5-ounce can to contain about 4 ounces of tuna plus liquid.
The heavy metal accumulates in tuna and other fish in an especially toxic form, methylmercury, which comes from mercury released by coal-fired power plants and other industrial or natural sources, such as volcanoes.
Fortunately, it's easy to choose lowermercury fish that are also rich in healthful omega-3 fatty acids. That's especially important for women who are pregnant or might become pregnant, nursing mothers, and young children, because fetuses and youngsters seem to face the most risk from methylmercury's neurotoxic effects.
Results from our tuna tests, conducted at an outside lab, underscore the longheld concern for those people. We found:
In 2006 we scrutinized the results of the FDA's tests in 2002 to 2004 of mercury levels in hundreds of samples of canned tuna. The agency's white-tuna samples averaged 0.353 ppm; light tuna, 0.118 ppm. But we found that as much as 6 percent of the FDA's light-tuna samples had at least as much mercury as the average in white tuna—in some cases more than twice as much.
Given the uncertainties about the impact of occasional fetal exposure to such high levels, we urged the FDA to warn consumers about occasional spikes in mercury levels in canned light tuna. More than four years later, the FDA still hasn't issued such a warning. When we asked why, an FDA spokesman indicated that the agency had already taken the spikes into account when formulating its mercury advice.
Canned tuna, especially white, tends to be high in mercury, and younger women and children should limit how much they eat. As a precaution, pregnant women should avoid tuna entirely. Our answers to the questions in Fish Q & A can help you get the nutritional benefits of fish and minimize exposure to mercury.

Did You Know? Countdown to Chanukah (11/25)Thursday, November 25th, 2010
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures &
Folklore about Chanukah
the Jewish Festival of Lights
Nov 25 : 06 days till Chanukah
Did you know that a menorah is actually a candelabra with six branches?
So, when someone says that they are going to light their Chanukah menorah, they are technically mistaken. The eight-branched candelabra that is lit on Chanukah is correctly known as a chanukiah.
Did you know that the many chanukiahs have nine candle holders?
There are eight equally spaced holders for each of the eight days of Chanukah, along with a ninth holder for the helper candle, called the Shamash. The Shamash holder is typically separated from the other eight — either higher up or off to the side. The role of the Shamash is to light each of the other candles.
Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, is a celebration of the victory of the Maccabees and the rededication of the Jerusalem Temple. It also commemorates the miracle of the oil that burned for 8 days. Jewish people mark this eight-day holiday by lighting the menorah, an eight-branched candelabra, and eating foods fried in oil such as potato latkes and jelly donuts. Join us for a new Did You Know? each day as we count down to Chanukah.
Chanukah, Hanukkah, Hanaka — no matter how you spell it — the fun begins at sundown on Wednesday December 01st.

We are told that the justification for the size of certain projects, like Atlantic Yards and the New Domino in Williamsburg, is the inclusion of affordable housing and other social goals, but another justification is certainly the expected return by the developers—which remains a mystery.
But we shouldn't think that for-profit developers are making a major sacrifice—the social goals are factored in, subsidized by the public, and offset by market-rate units that would bring the expected (yet unspecified) profit. Yes, risk and vision should reap reward, but that deserves some public vetting when there are so many public dollars at stake.
By contrast, nonprofit developers—which, it should be said, may not always have the institutional weight and expertise to pull off large projects—can factor in other goals. In her book The University and Urban Revival: Out of the Ivory Tower and Into the Streets, by Judith Rodin, president of the Rockefeller Foundation and former president of the University of Pennsylvania, calls it "socially patient" capital, not expected to bring typical financial returns but to bring other returns.
Broader parameters
Rodin writes:
The usual financial parameters for returns on the University's investment in its endowment were not plausible in this case; we needed to establish much broader ones, and once against the vision and commitment of our trustees was laudable—and critical. Besides using patient, social-investment rates of return, they allowed us to include a number of nonfinancial returns as metrics for success: an increase in median income in the area… increase in value of noninstitutional real estate holdings of the university.
Of course, for Forest City Ratner, Atlantic Yards should bring an increase in the value of its two malls, Atlantic Center and Atlantic Terminal, across Atlantic Avenue. Not only would new residents and arena visitors shop at the malls and patronize the restaurants/bars, the much-reviled Atlantic Center mall is poised for some new Frank Gehry towers to transform it.
That's not to say that Columbia University or other nonprofits, working in New York City's superheated real estate market, have it as easy (in retrospect) as Penn. Some of Rodin's examples, in contrast with New York, seem almost laughable. Penn's trustees initially allocated $2 million to rehabilitate vacant housing. Another $5 million investment was used to "attract other investors with 'socially patient' capital." That won't get you far in Brooklyn.
Those involved in Penn's West Philadelphia Initiatives aimed to keep the neighborhood from gentrifying, "or 'Penntrifying' as detractors would say," writes Rodin. Though that was more doable in Philadelphia, even there it didn´t quite work.
Rodin cites a 2001 Brookings Institute report by Maureen Kennedy and Paul Leonard, Dealing with Neighborhood Change: A Primer on Gentrification and Policy Choices:
Maureen Kennedy and Paul Leonard theorize that if residents, developers, officials, and interest groups spent more time developing strategies to avert or address the adverse consequences of gentrification, and less time opposing or supporting the market-driven process itself, they would increase the chances of building strong, economically diverse communities in our cities. This is something Penn tried hard to accomplish… Nonetheless, the housing interventions did substantially increase area property values, which benefited long-term residents but at the same time placed a greater burden on hopeful prospective residents. On the plus side, we did not cause any involuntary displacement or original residents, which is a key feature of gentrification, according to Kennedy and Leonard."
That's because there was enough vacant housing stock, and places to expand. Beyond that, Penn tweaked its program—for example offering low-cost loans in the neighborhood immediately around the university, then later shifting the incentives away from a stabilized zone to a much less revitalized area.
It´s tougher to meet such goals in New York; that ratchets up the controversies.

There is a new number to call for non-emergency public safety response- 606-5800.
Calling 606-5800 connects you to the new Consolidated Dispatch Agency (CDA). This is the number to call if you need a public safety response, but are not experiencing an emergency situation. For example, a person arriving home to find out that a bicycle was stolen off their front porch would call 606-5800 to report the crime. For true emergencies, citizens should still call 911.
The CDA is located inside the new Public Safety Complex at 911 Easterwood Drive; a joint effort of the City of Tallahassee and Leon County. The sophisticated, state-of-the-art joint dispatch operation system is a significant element of the new Public Safety Complex. The CDA operates 24/7 and dispatches for public safety agencies including the Leon County Sheriff's Office, the Tallahassee Police Department, the Tallahassee Fire Department and Leon County Emergency Medical Services.
With dispatchers for all safety agencies working side by side, residents will receive public safety responses more efficiently and effectively than ever. Dispatchers will be able to immediately determine what services are needed, who is closest to the scene and what resources can best resolve the situation. By routing non-emergency calls for response to the 606-5800 phone number, the 911 dispatchers are better able to respond quickly to true emergencies.

The Kings host the Stormers, in what is a must-win game for the men from Cape Town, in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.
The Kings host the Stormers, in what is a must-win game for the men from Cape Town, in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.
Although their form has been inconsistent this year, the Stormers still have a slim chance of reaching the play-offs and will be focussed on claiming victory – and a try-scoring bonus point in the process – against the tournament's basement dwellers.
It will not be easy, however. Despite their lowly position, the Kings pride themselves on their defence and the Stormers can expect a big battle from the competition's debutants.
The Stormers are involved in a battle with the Crusaders, Cheetahs, Waratahs, Blues and Sharks for the two remaining positions in the play-offs.
The Capetonians are currently in 10th spot on the table with 42 points from 14 matches and must win this clash and their last match against the Bulls and hope some of those other teams with play-off ambitions suffer defeats.
The Stormers put in a good display in claiming a much-needed 28-3 win over the Cheetahs in Cape Town last weekend. But despite that victory Stormers coach Allister Coetzee warned that his side would not be complacent when they face the Kings.
"I was obviously very pleased with the Cheetahs game, and it gives one confidence, but our plan has always been to win these last three games; that's where the focus is," he said.
Interestingly, tighthead prop Ross Geldenhuys, who was a replacement against the Cheetahs last week, has returned to the Kings, after a brief loan spell with the Stormers.
There is a concern that his knowledge of the Stormers' playing systems could prove harmful to the Cape side this weekend.
"We have a couple of playing systems and we know he could have valuable information," said Coetzee.
"It's something that we're working on but teams do analyse you (opponents) any way. We can't stop what's coming but our task to cope with the situation on the playing field."
Although the Kings have little to play for, they will not make things easy for their visitors, as proven in their previous encounter in Cape Town in Round 16.
On that occasion, the Stormers won 19-11 in atrocious weather conditions in Cape Town. The Kings are currently languishing in 14 position in the standings with 22 points from 14 matches. That's just two points clear of the bottom-placed Highlanders, so they will also be determined to notch a win, in order to avoid taking the tournament's wooden spoon.
Prediction: Although the Kings will put up a brave fight, the Stormers will be hungrier for the win as they have plenty to play for.It won't be pretty – Stormers to win by 10 points but not get their bonus-point!
Super head-to-head: Kings centre and captain Adriaan Strauss is one of the hardest men in the game who doesn't' take a backward step to any opponent. He faces a formidable advisory in Damian de Allende who was one of the Stormers' best players in the win over the Cheetahs last weekend. Both men enjoy the physical side of the game, so don't be surprised if there are some huge collisions in midfield this weekend.
Kings: 15 SP Marais, 14 Marcello Sampson, 13 Ronnie Cooke, 12 Andries Strauss (captain), 11 Michael Killian, 10 Demetri Catrakilis, 9 Shaun Venter, 8 Jacques Engelbrecht, 7 Wimpie van der Walt, 6 Cornell du Preez, 5 Darron Nell, 4 David Bulbring, 3 Kevin Buys, 2 Bandise Maku, 1 Schalk Ferreira.
Replacements: 16 Grant Kemp, 17 Hannes Franklin, 18 Steven Sykes, 19 Devin Oosthuizen, 20 Nicolas Vergallo, 21 George Whitehead, 22 Shane Gates.
Stormers: 15 Joe Pietersen, 14 Gio Aplon, 13 Juan de Jongh, 12 Damian de Allende, 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Elton Jantjies, 9 Louis Schreuder, 8 Nizaam Carr, 7 Don Armand, 6 Deon Fourie (captain), 5 De Kock Steenkamp, 4 Eben Etzebeth, 3 Brok Harris, 2 Scarra Ntubeni, 1 Steven Kitshoff.
Replacements: 16 Martin Bezuidenhout, 17 Pat Cilliers, 18 Gerbrandt Grobler, 19 Rynhardt Elstadt, 20 Nic Groom, 21 Gary van Aswegen, 22 Gerhard van den Heever.
Date: Saturday, July 6
Venue: Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth
Kick-off: 17.05 (15.05 GMT)
Referee: Lourens van der Merwe (South Africa)
Assistant referees: Marius Jonker (South Africa), Christie du Preez (South Africa)
TMO: Deon van Blommestein (South Africa)

oh early release .. my god Kakashi, what have you done ?! :(
Obito could see through the sharingan he gave to Kakashi, thats interesting. Maybe it just works at low distances ? Madara looked like he knew al along how its going to end. Kakashi is either under genjutsu, or maybe he did what must have been done ? Was Rin a spy perhaps ? Ugh, too many questions ..
Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Fairy Tail, Claymore, Ao No Exorcist, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Gamaran, Toriko, Vinland Saga, Gantz, Wolf Guy, Deadman Wonderland, Vagabond, Blade of The Immortal, Battle Royale, Zettman
Okay.... This is good, this is REALLY good. I knew Obito flipped because of Rin dieing, but If I saw that, I would probably flip as well. Not expecting that at all.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
So Obito god played, nothing surprising there. The question just is, whether it's a Genjutsu or something else.
Anyway, of Obito really thinks that Kakashi killed Rin (even by accident), the phrase "You let Rin die" doesn't make any sense.
- (1) Kakashi is using chidori (Zetsu clones cannot use others' abilities) , (2) Obito sees through the eye of Kakashi, (3) Kakashi is crying: several facts showing the reader this is the real Kakashi there.
- Is it the real Rin? As Kakashi is crying I think he realizes this is the real Rin.
- Is Rin a spy? I doubt that as Kakashi always spoke good of her and said he could not protect her (from spying?).
- Is this a genjutsu? Who would have cast it on the battleground? Remote genjutsu by Madara? I do not think so.
- A suicide of Rin to protect Kakashi?
Minato warned Kakashi that something like this might happen.
Oh man! This looks exactly like i imagined it 2 weeks ago!! I predicted it would be Kakashi that killed Rin, for whatever reason....i said back then that if kishi wanted to make it dramatic he should have make kakashi kill rin....and it happened. Kishi you read my mind!
1) i smell a setup. Zetsu admitted he has a network of himself all around and well enough in an around the battlefield. Zetsu has a few options getting mist ninja to kakashi's location not including using a mist ninja chakra signature to steer the mist ninjas somewhere.
2) zetsu was pretending to be rin and confuse kakashi? Kakashi's sharingan is not at the level to tell the difference and if zetsu is hashirama based, only madara might be able to discern the difference (as was the case with mokuton clone)
3) genjutsu, from the mist ninjas? They are all elite level as zetsu claims. Madara? Likely.
4) i also feel strongly that rin and kakashi are committing suicide. They likely have sensitive or vital info/material and can't complete their mission
Suicide prevents them from relinquishing secrets.
5) did madara script this entire scenario?
6) is obito still in madara's lair, under madara's genjutsu?
Oh, man, it can go so many valid directions!
I do think that if it is a case of suicide then it can be argued that kakashi was in fact protecting rin by taking her life. That would create the more interesting conflict and discussion between obito and kakashi. But... i don't trust those zetsus or madara...
also, zetsu doesn't recognize minato's name but "THINKS" the yellow flash is on "some other mission". It's so patently bogus there is no telling when or how much zetsu speaks the truth.

Obito is Tobirama's great grandson. The proof is in the pudding.
2)I think it might be the best option. We all know how deceitful Zetsu can be. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he played a trick on kakashi. ALso, i don't see any mist ninja there, so i smell it could be zetsu's job.
3)I don't think it's genjutsu. Kakashi seems well aware of what he's done. If he were just released from genjutsu he would be shocked like hell.
4)I also like this option. BUT, why is kakashi killing Rin? If they wanted to suicide they could take a kunai and stick it in their throat or heart. Plus, Rin's expression of shock isn't the face of someone who decided it's time to die. She's clearly surprised.
5) Likely.
6) I don't think. lol. Rin died. If it were all a genjutsu it would mean Rin never died.
And by killing Rin, Kakashi wasn't protecting her, but the intel she could have spilled to the enemy. If he let her be taken by the foe, they would at least keep her alive and maybe there'd be time for a rescue.
And all the stuff: The yellow flash is busy with another mission, is also susupect to me. I don't buy it. Maybe it was zetsu that keeps him busy somewhere, and minato's on a mission to investigate on him?
